Weigh in. Sadly, i weighed myself after a heavy family dinner, coming in at 167, exactly my starting weight from the first time around of dieting. SInce i did, JUST eat i am hoping its actually a little bit less than that, nothing wrong with being hopeful. AM staying home for the weekend instead of away like i had planned so i need to try extra hard not to boredom-eat! wish me luck

wow, did i really say my apetite went away? I am now the victim of late night munchies! i've never been a middle of the night snacker but now i am so ravenously hungry at nighttime,haha. i gave in and made myself 4 eggs last night=/  hopefully better tomorrow.

and goodness okie  120's! i havent been 120 since i was in middle school,haha. i think i would be a bit too small there.

dplatzer, wow i hope it was a malfunction of the scaley kind! the same thing happened to me, except i fell off the bandwagon hard,haha, so sadly my scale was correct and i was back where i started! really thinking its not the issue for you since you keep active and watch what you eat, i assume, much better than i did on my "fallen off the wagon" time.

i had a really bad week-and-a-half, diet-wise, so my weight last saturday was the same as my starting weight(i mean a seriosuly BAD week).so, here we go.

Starting Weight:169

Last weeks Weight:168

Current Weight:162

Goal weight:140/130

I realize its the morning and i haven't eaten so it's not really that accurate,haha, but still, i'm getting somewhere again.

as for a plan, i have classes lined up for the summer at m y local gym (one dance-fitness class and one abs class, both 2 times a week). I have a weird eating plan, i have 2 "good meals" just fruit and veggies and healthy stuff, keeping out completely the bad things, and i have one "normal" meal(any of the 3), which is things i would usually eat, but in smaller portions, or with healthier variations. The only bad part is i get very hungry between so i keep lots of healthy snacks like lowfat yogurts and fruits and carrot sticks and things

i know, this weekend is killing me diet-wise=/

you zumba?!? i zumba:)

It still makes me stupidly happy to have people agree that, once again i will say it, tall girls hold their weight differently. If you think our target weights are too low, then you obviously have never carried wieght as a 5'10-6ft girl. We are the only people that really can tell how unhealthy we are, because we hold out weight so that it doesn't look bad, it's spread out more. It just annoys me when others tell me that if i get down to that weight (which i have been on before, mind you) i will be too skinny. No, i will be healthy, at about 115 i would be too skinny, not 130.

EVerybody is built differently, tall gals especially. we can just hold so much more poundage and still "look" okay, but be over weight.

Saturday Weigh-ins:)

Starting Weight: 167

Last weeks Weight: 167

Current Weight:158?!?

Goal Weight: 130

the only explanation for the weird-weight loss is that SInce i used to eat meals big enough for 3 people (i am definately not lieing either) and snacks as bug as meals, my body is likeliterally going into shock from the healthy normal sized meals i have been eating.

kaetlynn, i always love those workout videos! i like doing the silly dance *hip-hop,haha) ones for general fitness, and bellydancing ones work onders for your abs. HAs anybody else watched All-STar workouts? they have all of these different 45 munite work outs, and they have the best variety of dance ones. i think the most fun to do and the one where i think i lost like 5 lbs just from doing it was this latin/african mixture. i was glad i had tasped it because i needed to stop and catch my breath so much. I always have to force myself to do it all out, instead of doing half-assed movements, but its fun

thank god my jumbled description was clear enough for someone besides myself,haha. i was just thinking, that was actually a pretty good workout, if you did it for a length of time. i should start doing simple things like that, that are fun, but are good for getting in a little bit of extra activity without it feeling like work

Hoolo-hoop? i used to love those,haha, i might have to try that. Does anybody remember "skip it"s? Like you had to swing your one foot to make the rod go round and then jump over it with the other foot....well, i'm not good at explaining things am i,haha.

so Tomorrow is weigh in, though we can do it in the middle of the week too, if anyone prefers. I hope i've gotten down a little bit, i've been trying to be really good this week with my binging habit and only fell off of the wagon once.

ATTENTION:

Glad to see so many replies:) I fele like a proud mama,haha.

Should i go ahead and make an actual "group" and move ourselves out of the forum? Or should we keep this format? Though we could always still keep the forum active for "recruiting" but have a group as well.

I was thinking that in the group we could at least have private forums, with different topics for Weigh-ins, Tips, Recipes, Welcomes, General Talk and whatnot, but it's you guys who make the group:) so what do you think?

I'm really glad people are talking on here, i fele like a proud mama,haha. It's nice to just talk to people though, when you knwo they are going through the same things you are.

Alisha, i really hope your asthma gets better as you get in shape it reall is amazing how many problems get better just by making these changes in your life.

Micki, definately keep us posted on the cellulite. I think i will do the same thing, take pictures before, and maybe every week or so to see the improvement, with my thighs and weight in general. and wow! 5 lbs in a week is really really good! I'm hoping for 1 or two,haha. I actually want to do a mid-week weigh in tonight, just to be nosy and see if i lost anything:)

i already drink a lot of water, but more can't hurt since i am not a huge fan of cellulite=) (though i might try the coffe grounds thing too,haha)

I am going to be extra good today, since i had chinese yesterday, and definately do some treadmill in my basement(sadly no gym this week, i'm too busy). But since i love the elliptical, when i do get into my gym-grove, i'm definately trying for 3x a week,haha.

Oh and being called "healthy"? Gosh, how many times have i heard that,haha.

so i actually did good with snowballs, not eating them i mean (and we were too busy for me to try any workout things today), biut then i fell victim to the chinese place in the same shopping center. oops.

SInce i give myself one "normal" eating day a week (my off day from dieting) i'lljust make it today. I am disappointed with my willpower though.

And cellulite! i really want to try that. if anybody does it, let me know ho wit works out(though i can't imagine only one time would make much difference, is it supposed to be something you repeat?)

Hopefully we can all start eating more healthily and learn to live with it.

I'm surprised at how many people have had some sort of eating disorder-type habits before. it makes me feel less odd for admitting my own problems.

I understand completely.

I actually did it without a doctor or my parents knowing, though i suspect my doctor did know what was going on. let me know if you ever need to talk.

I think updates once a week are good, say every saturday. Even though i'll probably be talking to people on here more than that. I think we should try to friend everyone on here if we an, so we can talk to each other outside of the forum. I hope we get some more people on here so we can help each other out:)

I really am not sure if i want to get all the way down to my goal weight, or just until i feel or look healthier, but either way, i want to maintain it once i get there.
