Weight Loss If you started this about a week ago, I'd like to start a weight loss group Oct 30 2008

I started on the 14th...I've lost a few 3 or 4 pounds...but it's mainly water weight that I have lost so far. My goal is to lose around 65 lbs by June. I am 5'3 and I started out at 197 lbs and am now around 194 (as of this morning) :) My goal is to be around 135 lbs. I need help to stay motivated...that's probably why every other time I've dieted, it never worked!

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I moved to Ohio about 2 years ago and got married in July this year.  I love it here, but I miss everything that I left back home in Kansas. My brother and his family came to Ohio and stayed at my house hoping to get better jobs and move out...he found a better job but couldn't find a place to live that was within their means. So they moved back to Kansas and now I have to scrub my house from top to bottom, as they left it completely destroyed. As soon as my house is back to normal, I am starting a custody battle for my Son who is currently with his father. Since I moved to Ohio, my ex-husband has tried to allienate me from my son. So let the battle and the stress that goes with it begin!

I need as many friends as I can get at a time like this, so please feel free to email me with advice or anything that you think would be helpful with the diet or just life in general. Thanks for taking the time to read this...and always remember.......

Courage is not the towering oak that sees the storms come and go...It's the fragile blossom that opens in the snow!  :)

 

Weight Loss Is Diet Coke making me gain weight? Oct 24 2008

It is the Sugar, Carbs, and Carbination that is causes you not to lose weight.  It can actually cause you to gain weight...However, other people have been able to lose weight by cutting back in other areas...but it sounds to me that you are at a point in your diet that you need to start cutting back on your pop, and eventually try to eliminated it.
