| Weight Loss | I'm going for 100 days!!!! | Mar 13 2007 17:30 (UTC) |

| I just finished doing 4 weeks of a 1000 cal deficit a day - I did loose a bit - but I was skiing like a mad woman too. | |||

| Here is a little more info on me! I'm a 33 year old paramedic with 70 lbs to loose. I have lost 65 lbs already by cutting my calories down to about 1200 a day. I cross country ski 10km a day in the winter months 4 days a week. That burns over 1000 cal for me, it toned me up but I ate more to compensate and didn't loose much weight. Now that the ski season is wrapping up I have to get my eating back under control. I work for a quiet service and most days I don't get a lot of activity at work. So 1200 cals is about a 1000 cal daily deficit for me.
I think my "plateau" was mainly Christmas and some major muscle building from skiing. |

| I know a highly educated woman who had a bypass done spring of 2005. She lost around 80 lbs and hasn't lost anything else since. If a person dosen't deal with why they overeat a bypass isn't going to fix anything in the long run. Its just a matter of time and she will slip back into her old habits. I can totally understand you being jealous - I would feel the same way. But your right you are doing it the right way - forever and keeping your money at the same time. What she did could affect her for her entire life with complications - now she has to live with that. | |||

| Songchild - I adopted your idea a few weeks ago when you first started writing down your daily goals. I have a paper journal that I use everyday and they are on the top of my page. I don't always get them all checked off - but I have finally mastered drinking my water. That has been a goal I have struggled with! Thanks!!!!!! | |||
| Weight Loss | When will the cal-counting pay off? | Oct 24 2006 14:40 (UTC) |

| Catsy22 - I am totally in the same boat as you. I am 5'9" - I weight 245 and I have been really working hard the past 2.5 weeks. I have been eating between 1200-1300 cal and excercising as much as possible. I work 12 hour shifts so I find it hard to exercise everyday but on my days off I do 1 hr cardio and 1 hr of pilates. I know I should be doing weight lifting but I haven't brought myself to start that yet. The first week I lost 5 pounds but since then the scale hasn't moved. I am noticing a difference in my clothes though - but I would feel better seeing it on the scale. My goal weight is 160 too. |

| Motivation | How many have lost 50 pounds or more? | Aug 25 2006 16:43 (UTC) |

| I have lost 70 lbs. I started last Aug changing my bad eating habits one at a time. I only started cc 13 weeks ago.
My motivation is my kids, husband and my job. The hardest thing for me is still night time snacking and cravings. I still have 60lbs to go - I hope to be there by next summer. Slow and steady wins the race!!! Congratulations for hitting 51lbs! |

| Kat - I totally know exactly how you feel. I too am a health care professional and have the knowledge to loose weight - but why can't I seem to do it. WHY!!!! I felt like that too. Am I weak - stupid? I think part of my problem was making a plan that involved too many changes and failing on day one because I couldn't do it all. A year ago now I picked one bad habit and worked on it. Then added another and the ball just kept rolling. Now I have lost 70lbs.
Pick the eating habit that makes you feel the worst about yourself and work on changing it - you'll feel good about yourself again! |
