I started a blog about my goals so that I would be accountable to someone other than myself. Unfortunatly for that concept to work I need some people to read it. If you're interested, check it out. I'd love some feedback.

I actually just started blogging and I'm planning on using it for my fitness goals as well as other random things in my life. I'd love to check out your blog, here is a link to mine!

Well after about a week of being frusterated and discouraged I FINALLY have something to be excited about!!!

Height" 5'1"

Starting 126

4/16 127.2

4/19 124.6 (down 2.6)

This is really encouraging to me, since I was about ready to give up after 2+ weeks with almost no change. Thanks for all of the advice and encouragement, ladies. Another few months and I'll be at my goal :)

Super discouraged ladies!!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong :( I am starting to think I can't eat ANYTHING.

Start Weight 126

Last Week 126

This Week 127.2!!!

Goal Weight 110.

This is a tough question to answer but maybe some brand names will help... I am 5'1" and about 125, right now I wear a 4 in most pants but if they are from Old Navy or Target it's a 2 (love that vanity sizing!).  But I also have an hourglass shape and carry my weight fairly evenly, I know my sister weighs less than I do, but carries it in her midsection and her pants are about the same size as mine, but she has very thin legs and arms.

Again, thank you all so much for your advice and encouragement. I'm actually looking forward to going to the gym in the morning! And I defintely have a better plan about what I need to do change my habits and hopefully see some results.

I think getting rid of your scale was a great decision! Using the mesauring tape will definitely help you stay motivated, it may take longer to notice results sometimes with measuring vs. weighing, but I think it isn't quite so skittish. One crappy meal or a few pounds of water weight from your period or something isn't going to show up nearly as drastically in measurements as it does in weight.

Wow! I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I never imagined I would recieve so much support from a website I've only been using for a few days. I know that one thing I have definitely been lacking in my plans in the past is support, so hopefully this will be a very positive step forward for me. Here are my stats:

Age:23

Height 5'1"

Weight 127

Goal Weight 110

For most of my adult life, from graduating high school until a little over a year ago, I was very comfortable at around 110 lbs I generally ate healthy but didn't count calories, and I worked out occasionally but usually just relied on a few fun workout DVDs I enjoyed, and then going for walks, bike rides, and living a generally active lifestyle. I know my diet changed and I became more sedentary as I started my last year of college and was much busier and more stressed. Which is when I gained about 15 lbs over the course of 6 months. It was this time last year that I decided I wanted to change that and began following weight watchers points (I never joined officially, but used the info my mom had from being a member - it helped her lose 20+ pounds). It never really worked for me, neither did working out - I tried just cardio, just weight training, and a combo of both and again, I had more energy but no weight loss. I guess over the last few months I've tried a hodge podge of things with no real plan, since following the strict plans for the first months didn't really produce results.

Right now I am without a real plan or routine, which I know is bad, so again, any help or advice would be so very helpful.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH,

Amanda

Hey everyone,

I was pretty discouraged when I got on the scale this morning and had GAINED almost 2 pounds since Wednesday.

Age: 23

Height: 5'1"

Starting Weight: 126

Goal Weight: 116

Week 1 - 127.8!!!!

I really need some encouragement and maybe a few tips? What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone!

I would love to join this challenge.

I feel like I'm in the same spot you all are in. I'm little, barely 5'1" and I've gained weight over the last year with the stress of finishing college and job hunting,etc. I'm now determined to get back into shape and to start eating healthier. Right now I am 126 and I would LOVE to get down to 106, but would even be thrilled with 110-115 so that my old clothes would fit again! I'm new to the site and a bit overwhelmed, but I've read through the posts and you all seem so motivated and encouraging!
