| Weight Loss | Weigh in days=anxiety?! | May 23 2009 21:10 (UTC) |

Oh trust me I'm right there with you on this one. I used to weigh myself daily, but I noticed I got WAY too depressed when I would see a crazy spike in my weight. So I switched to once a week weighing, but it's killing me! The worst part for me is during the week cause I see the scale on the floor and I so want to weigh myself! I tell myself I should weigh because if I've gained I need to know so that I can change so I don't waste that much time. Or I try to rationalize it in some other way. But weight in days are not like christmas to me... haha I get so nervous! I sit in the bathroom and stare at that scale for like 5 minutes before I get the nerve up just to stand on it. Ahhhh it freaks me out! I don't want to have gained! But so far I've gotten nothing but good news so I shouldn't be THAT nervous |

| Weight Loss | The somewhat minor annoyances of being overweight -- what are yours? | May 23 2009 07:05 (UTC) |

Well I started out with different annoyances than I have now. When I started, it bothered me so much how I could never find clothes that would fit. Or I was always the one in my group of friends that the girl ALWAYS ignored and didn't bother talking to. I guess right now my biggest annoyance with being overweight is that it takes so dang long and so much effort to climb a hill in my road bike. I wish I didn't have to lug this extra weight around! But hey I'm workin it off and it's satisfying so I'm happy :) |

| Fitness | anyone else think the elliptical is BS? | May 22 2009 22:26 (UTC) |

Oh yeah I think the elliptical is crap. I weigh upwards of 300 pounds and after an hour of riding on the eliptical it said I burned 100 calories. Now I know my elliptical doesn't have a weight and height function so for some reason the factory thought that programming this bike for a 50 pound man was for some reason a good idea. HOWEVER I still think time can be spent MUCH better doing other things than sitting on a chair and pedaling while watching TV. Which is why I now ride a real bike. So much more challenging and rewarding ( I live in Utah and like on top of a mountain, so once you go down you have to go back up at some point haha ). So forget the elliptical, ride a real bike I love it. |

I guess I'm a lucky one. I only ever lose and gain from my stomach. And pecks. haha. But lately I've noticed some loss in my thighs so I'm happy about that. |

| Weight Loss | why do you REALLY want to lose weight [be honest] | Feb 20 2009 19:21 (UTC) |

Well I guess a few reasons. By far the most important reason and the one that's driving me to lose weight is that I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm 19 and I've put my papers in to serve a 2 year mission teaching the gospel, but I have to lose 30 pounds before I can go. I guess others would be to prevent myself from getting diabetes like my parents and brother have. I also want to look good, feel good, and be better at basketball and sports in general. |
