| hi all. I hope everyone is doing well. I found on almost on bottom of page 2~~
I saw a friend of mine today that has started weight watchers. She is a morbidly obese friend that has never been concerned about her weight. So, I am soooo proud of her! She is drinking water like she used to drink Dr. Pepper!!! One day at a time! She was my motivation for the day! more water for me! |

| hi all! official w/i this morning.....down 4 pounds!! That is from the gain from my Vegas trip...but it's leaving!!
welcome to jonathan and alaska! great job on your losses so far! This is a great place. They are very helpful!!! I wasn't on much last week....too much "mama drama" with my kids last week!! One was with my daughter and a girls mom from dance, and the other was with my son and soccer. I don't like drama!! So, here's to a great week!! |

| welcome lineline! csize-I'm almost 5 ft 2 and my calories to lose is 1450. When I am in "the zone" and really trying, I try to stay at 1300. My husband lost weight with trainer, etc.. and the one thing his trainer told him was that women should stay around 1200-1500 in order to lose. However, there are lots of folks on here doing much better than I am and taking in more calories!! Check that area for "daily calories to lose". Its a big help! Okay, I got on the scale after that big ole gain from Vegas trip. I have lost 5 of the 6.5 pounds. No, it's not the official number for the week, I was just checking to see if it was water...errr...alcohol...weight. whew. Have a great Tuesday! Oh....and I drank lots of water yesterday! woohoo! Now, that's an accomplishment in itself! |

| Hi all!! Hey blj!! Good to hear from ya!!
Welcome to all the newbies!! To all the ones that have been around....I just returned from my trip to Vegas. This is the trip the my hubby won for that weight loss challenge. I find it very ironic...yuck...that we went on this trip for his weight loss...and I gained 6.5 pounds!!!! I hope it's ALOT of water weight...as in alcohol (I'm not a big drinker...so I lived it up away from the kiddo's and responsibilities!!!) and lots of good eating. However, life being life. I got right back on this site first thing!!! I enjoyed my time, but now it's time to enjoy my life!!!! I realized while I was gone that as my name says "it'smytime" Vk--WTG on the 212!! You'll see 200 this month..and we'll all WOOHOO with you! October goal....hmm....well, since I have to start 6.5 heavier....my first goal is to drink my water EACH and EVERY day. I am so bad at that! My weight goal?? 219. That is a "magic" number for me, b/c it's the one I remember when I being a mental block. good luck to all! |

| yea, ginny...me 2...about the being up from July part. I am getting better with my water though. It's those little changes that make such a difference.
My best friend, when she lost her weight, made a statement that sticks with me: Measure every success. That means: Did I drink more water today than 1 week ago? yes. That is a success. Did I eat within my allowed calories today? yes. That is a success. It's a great way to keep you seeing that we are making changes, even if the scale is moving slowly. |

| good morning all! curvyqueen---wow! what an inspiration you are! congrats on all of your hard work!!! it was great looking over the last couple of pages and seeing names I havent' seen in awhile. It's so good to be back. I lost 2 1/2 pounds last week! woohoo! These were 2 1/2 pounds that were part of vacation. Still up 9 pounds, but that's okay. I actually started feeling better after just 2-3 days of eating better. I truly think my body was tired of all the junk. Thanks vk for the link earlier. I''m going right now and checking it out! Biggest Loser starts tonight. More motivation for me! A very important note to my fellow Americans ~~ May we all remember our nation today on the anniversay of 9-11-01 |

| Hi all. Well, it's Thursday evening, and I had to dig this thread off of the middle of page 2~~~~
I hope everyone is having a good week. It's actually nice to be "back on the wagon". I just feel better. I think my body was just tired of all the ickyness from the last couple of months. It probably thought I had finally "grown up" when I started losing weight in the Spring, and early Summer!!! |

| well, here is one MIA!!!! I'm bacccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! I brought some pounds with me that weren't invited, but I'm soooooo glad to be back on this post. I pulled up the website after 2 months, yes, 2 months!! I logged in weight ..yuck....then, came right here and hoped to see "over 200 club" and my friends...and there you were on the top of page 1!! Wow, have I missed you all!!!
Went on vacation....and didn't come back!! I can't wait to catch up on all the posts, and track y'alls progress. I only progressed up the scale. But yesterday as I was eating a Sonic burger and tots, it hit me...and actually the taste grossed me out.... This is not what I want. I am now 40. I want to be wiser and healthier!! The burger moment was a good thing; it snapped me back. (no, nothing was wrong with the burger, my body just finally told me to cut this junk out!!!) Thanks for listening! |

| wtg theresa!!! woohoo to you!!!
I understand your feeling of slowness....I figured at my size, I would drop those pounds...but it's okay! You know why? since I started c-c in march, I have lost 23.5 pounds! I haven't been able to say that in..umm...never! (well, there was that low carb thing, but as soon as i lost it...I found it!) be proud of your 2.4 pounds!! go to the store and put 2.4 pounds on the scale (like potatoes) then hold it....you'll see! ginny--we'll just be slow together!! and then, one day we'll look back and go wowowowow! we did it! :) |

| woohoo vk!!!!! 50 pounds!!! I am soooo proud of you!! what an inspiration!!! rweber, judi, and tabby!!!! congrats on your losses!!! tabby--you hung in there...and look! 3 pounds! shopping for me on Friday wasn't that great either...I came home with new panties......woohooo....my whole family had tons of new things...me????? panties!! BUT...I did go into Catherines Plus Sizes (never shopped there before), tried on a swimsuit...too big!! That was a good thing. my official w/i was yesterday..... 221.5 ..that's a loss of 1.5 pounds! I'lll take it...but I really wanted to be under 220. So, that means I need to change some things. More water....exercise consistently, oh, you know the routine!! Vacation is less than 2 weeks away. At first, I was upset b/c I really wanted more weight gone. But I know, this is a journey and not a sprint. So, if I can just keep losing....no matter how small, it's a good thing!!! Plus....I have lost almost 16 inches!! I'm down to a size 18 and 20 vs. the 22/24 4 months ago! Okay, thanks for letting me ramble....I feel better!! You guys are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| welcome to all the newbies!! you'll love it here..just jump on it...as you see, we are chatty!! I don't know anything about a cookie diet. but I no longer diet. I think that is how I got to be 245 pounds!! (wow...that was 24 pounds ago!!) It has worked for us to count those calories and LOG THEM IN!! You'll be surprised at how many you eat and also how you get used to eating within your limit. Funny, all these years...the old "watch your calories and exercise" was right!! We are here to support you! vk- i'm with you on the monday weigh in...although...<<> there are many times i wished I weighed in on friday...and lived it up that night!! juv--can't wait to celebrate when you are under 200!! that's a biggie here!! aimless--i had a 100 pounds to lose as well--(being 5 ft 1...) so , i think in small goals...5 pounds, 10 pounds, 10% weight loss (that's goal for this week) ...keep us posted! |

| congrats rockin on moving that plateau!!! tabby-sorry you found my 2 pounds. as my brother says, we never lose it....it gets transferred. so...transfer that on to one of the folks out there that want to gain!! ( now, that's a whole different website, lol) becky-just keep on trying! I put off the exercising, the water. I just don't like it. but it does get a little easier each time.....umm..sometimes, it just doesn't! and that's okay, that's why we are hear to listen to you! blue-yuck~~ that doesn't sound fun. so many other things I'd rather do with that $$. We need to get a timing belt on my SUV, they said it will be around $640. Well, that's not what I want to spend my $$ on either!!! That's not fun!! happy tuesday to all! oh, and speaking of tucking in a shirt.....haven't done that in years...and I mean...years!! That's a goal! |

| sara--sounds like you are doing great!!! that is awesome! my fun story is from shopping last night. Yesterday, I wore denim shorts to the swim meet. They were baggy in the butt and legs but fit in the stomach (of course)...BUT, by the end of the day they were baggy all over. So, I thought I would go and look for some. Now, b/c I love the fact that I can tell y'all anything...I will. Last summer I wore 22w majority of the time, some 20w's but mostly 22w. (boy, that is hard even to type)..so, last night, I went and they only had 22 and 18's. I knew 22 was too big, so, I thought...why not? I'll try on the 18's and see how tight they are...and work from there. nope......they FIT~ abd fit well~~ That is DOWN 2 SIZES!!! I bought the shorts. Got in my car and cried. happy cry. It's been forever. That helped motivate me even more!! Thanks for listening. |
