| Just stopping in to say hi. It's been crazy. I am a first year teacher and have been very stressed out! I have not been on here and not been counting calories at all. I just can't right now. I figure that I will be back here on a regular basis in the next week or so. I just hope you all don't leave me and go to the 140's group! (but I will be happy for you, of course!) I think I am around the high 150. Last time I checked I was about 157. I HATE the way I look and how I feel. I can't wait to get back on a regular eating schedule and workout program. The weight will to come off this fall if I do everything right. I know it will. Happy labor day to all. Take care! |

| Hi sorry I was MIA for a few days. I've been off of work and have been getting a lot of stuff done and just have not had the time to sit down at the computer. I am 155 and very mad. I have been eating good and working out but nothing! I feel bigger than ever! My shorts from the beginning of the summer are starting to feel tight. Plus I had to buy all size 12s in pants for my upcoming teaching job. I can't believe that only a year ago I was a 6! It's so depressing! Keep up the great work everyone! It is nice to hear that you all seem like you are doing well. The weight is falling off of some of you and that is great!!!!!!! |

| Congrats srogers! Your hard work paid off. I wish I was 150! I am 155!!!!! YUCK!!!!! I didn't make it to the gym this morning but I am for sure going tonight! Also I am getting off my BP pill and hoping that I will loose weight then. It would be wonderful. Maybe that is keeping my weight on. I can hope right? |

Hi everyone. A hugh congrats Carie on being 150! That's wonderful! Your hard work has paid off! I wish I could get there again! I weighted in at 154 this morning, yuck! I have been working out this week. I should have went to the gym today but I had to do "teacher" shopping. (This is my first teaching job so there is a ton of stuff I have to buy.) After I got home I took a nap and basically laid around all day. It was a nasty rainy day. Tomorrow I am going to the gym in the morning. Legs and shoulders and cardio, yeah. I am actually excited thinking about it. Srogers, I know exactly what you mean about jean shopping. I was always (and still am) thick in my thighs and hips and jeans are very hard to find! What about looking in GAP? They make a curvy fit jean. They are in women's sizes but maybe you can get her a 0 or 2 ankle and have them altered. Just a suggestion. I am hoping for 153 or even 152 on the scale tomorrow. If I am back to 155 I will scream! Talk to you all later! |

| Thanks srogers and Holly for thinking about me. I'm doing a lot better. I almost made it through the whole day yesterday without crying. That's a start. I went shopping today. That helped me. I had to buy size 12 pants for my new teaching job. I hate buying a 12. I feel like I am wasting my money because I am determined to get back to a 8 or even better a 6! I can't believe how heavy I've gotton in such a short amount of time. I think I've gained about 7lbs just in the past month. I have got to workout tonight! Have fun Holly. Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead of you. Wish I did. Oh, I am going to a Keith Urban concert on Sat.night. I guess that'll be fun. |

| Hi guys. Everyone sounds like you all are doing great. Carie, way to go with resisting the sweets. Welcome to the newbies. I am on here all the time but haven't been posting in the past week because my grandmom passed away and I have been dealing with that. The funeral was today. It was very hard to get through. I am so glad it is over. I went to the doctor yesterday and weighed in at 157! That's horrible considering I've been around the 151-155 range since April. The doctor ordered for me to have my thyroid tested. He put on the blood test slip "Obese". That was shocking and upsetting. But according to my BMI I guess I am obese. That is because I am short. I am not obese according to my body fat, thank God. I have not been eating like usual. Today I only took in about 900 calories, max. I haven't been in the mood to eat. I'm too depressed. So you'd think I'd be loosing weight, but no. I'm gaining! Btw, I am only 4'11" and I am med. frame. |

Thank you all so very much. Words can't describe the way I feel right now after seeing that you had a day of silence for me. Thank you Carie for that idea. That was VERY thoughtful. I feel that every one of you actually cares for me and that is amazing! I am so glad that I found this site and now I have a new set of friends. I've been doing okay. I've been spending a lot of time with my mom. (it was her mother) She is doing amazing. I thought she wasn't going be as well as she is. We are support for eachother. Today I printed out old pictures of her. It is nice to have them, but sad to look at as well. The funural is not until Tuesday. I wish it was all over with. Anyway, thank you again. I really appreciate it all! Congrats, Carie and Holly on your # on the scale. I hope is stays that low for you. I haven't weighed myself since Friday and it was high, I think about 158. I think stress is putting on my weight. Also, I haven't been cooking. It's been take out when I've been in the mood to eat. I'm going to get back on track this week. I have 3 weeks off until I start my teaching job. Yeah. I can actually go to the gym now. Take Care everyone! |

| The Lord took my grandmother yesterday afternoon at 12:05 pm. The pain I am feeling right now is overwhealming. I have never lost anyone this close to me. I can't believe that I will never be able to go to her house and sit with her and talk to her. I won't be able to hear her tell me how beautiful I am (even if I did gain weight).
I haven't been eating much. A little here a little there. This all just doesn't seem important anymore. Thank you for thinking about me Carie and eveyone else who have included me in your posts. |

| Hi everyone. Thank you all for including me in your posts. I really appreciate it!
I am doing okay. My grandmom is in the hospital. She has been in there since Friday afternoon. Yesterday I went to see her with my mom but she did not even talk to us or even know that we were there. She was sadated on Friday night so she was still confused and tired yesterday. It's a waiting game to see what the doctor's will say. We are holding on for hope, but only God knows when her time to go is. I did not get on the scale today. I know it is probably around 155. I didn't eat good this weekend. Today I am back on track though. Maybe I will squeeze in a little workout tonight after work. Probably not becuase the community gym where I live closes at 8. Thank you again for all of your kindness! Take Care! |

| Hi. I went to the bakery this morning and bought myself a cheese danish and ate the whole thing. Eating good just wasn't something I wanted to do this morning. Sometimes I think why, should I eat good when I see no results anyway? And why should all this calorie counting matter when there are more important things to worry about. Last night after work I had a hard time thinking about my grandmom. I started worrying about death and how scared she must be right now. (I can't only hope that there is a heaven.) I think my mom and uncle are going to call for an ambulance today. She seems as if she is on her last string and they can't just let her die.
I have a busy weekend ahead of me. I am taking the ACE personal training test tomorrow morning (don't ask me how I'll concentrate) and tomorrow night I am going to a Brad Paisley concert. Sunday and, probably tonight too, I'll be with my grandmom. So no working out for me and probably not eating good either. We'll see what I weight on Monday. I'm sure it won't be pretty. Take care everyone! |

| Thank you, thank you, thank you to all! I love you guys!
I am doing better today, haven't cried yet. But then again haven't talked to my mom yet. She and I usually cry together, while worrying about her. I think I am going to see her this weekend. I don't want to be left with the though of why didn't I see her one last time. I am 153 today despite only eating 1350 to 1500 calories for the past three days now and pilates last night. I need to do a full 20 on the crosstrainer tonight with a nice weight training workout as well! That's if, I don't rush out of work tonight to be with my grandmom. It depends on her condition. I wish I wasn't going through this right now! |

| Thank you guys, especially Holly. It's nice to know that people out that care. I can't imagine what it is going to be like when she actually does die. It's hard to think about without getting upset. I want to see her as much as I can but it's hard because she is very weak and not talking much at all. Today I work all day and night so maybe tomorrow. How do I stay on track with eating and working out when nothing else seems to matter but her right now? | |||

| Hi! I am at a lousy 153.5 this morning! I hate it. But since I did not workout and had a small cheeseteak and fries for dinner last night (I know, how dare I!) I can't really complain. I'm going to Pilates tonight and will for sure workout tomorrow night.
I think one of the reasons that I am unable to loose weight (when I am on track) is because of stress. I am going through a lot of stress right now. My 93 year old grandmom is not doing well and has basically told all of us that she is ready to die. I worry about her 24/7 and I know that can't be good. I don't eat more when I am stressed out, thankfully. If I did that I'd be up in the 170's by now. Has anyone else gone through a hard time like this and it effected their weight? Just wondering. |

| Very mad at what the scale said today, 155! Ugh!!!!!!!!!! Ok, so I didn't workout this weekend except for a pilates reformer class on Sat. morning. I ate kinda bad too, but to go from 149 to 155 in four days is really dissapointing. I will not stay at this weight, I will not. I need to be an 8 by Sept. for sure!
Today is a new day. This week is a new week. Fruit, grilled chicken, turkey burgers, lean cuisines, they have to be my food choices for the week, no doubt about it. |

| I should not have stepped on the scale this morning because it said 151. Why, I don't know. I couldn't have gained 2 lbs in a day, could I? I ate good yesterday! I even went to a bar with my boyfriend and only ordered 2 small Malibu baybreeze drinks. Everyone was trying to get me to order more but I knew that another one would have put me over my calories so I didn't. I had to order food because I was starving but I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, no fries. I don't want to be in the 150's! Maybe tonight I'll be able to workout and tomorrow the scale will say 149 again. |

| I am in for the challenge! Today I am 149. (I hope it stays and does not go back up to my usual 152-155!) My goal is as follows:
140 by August 31, 130 by Sept. 30. Then 120 by Oct. 31 (my birthday!) I hope I am not reaching too far! I am going to try to get my mesurements done tonight. I just hope I don't chicken out. |

| ***BIG NEWS!***Today I jumped on the scale and I was 149! (Before today, I hadn't weighted myself since sometime last week.) Yes, 149! It seems hard to believe! But I am not going to celebrate yet because I know that it will be easy to go back to my normal 153-155 if I let myself slip.
I have been working out and eating good for two weeks now so I guess it finally it paid off. I am super happy because I have been stuck at 153 or higher since April! I really just hope it stays and even gets lower! This is such an amazing feeling. |

| Went out shopping last night. I saw some cute clothes but I don't want to buy the size I am at now, so I am waiting. I figure I will start shopping for clothes for my new teaching job at the end of August. Hopefully by then I will drop a size to two!
Welcome all newcomers! This is a great group! |

| I love Maca bars! I bought them at Whole Foods on Sunday and now I am hooked! It is a wonderful meal replacement option. I had one last night for dinner while I was on the go and it was great. Plus, they are really good for you. The 11 grams of fat is GOOD fat that your body needs. I like them so much I just wrote a review on Amazon for them. Potent Foods Organic Maca Bar, White Chocolate Chunk Fudge, 2-Ounce Bars They sell them on Amazon. Here is the link if anyone is interested: http://www.amazon.com/Potent-Foods-Organic-Ch ocolate-2-Ounce/dp/B000HRYR96#nutrition-facts |

| Hi guys! I ate bad over the weekend. On Sat. I was really busy working in the morning, working out in the afternoon, and a concert at night so I didn't eat my normal 5 meals, and the meals that I did eat were bad. (example, a cheeseteak on south steet in Philly). So my grade for saturday is a F. Yes a F! I always get B+s or even A- s sometimes so I am mad that I got a F! I had an awesome workout on Sat. and I am still sore. I pushed myself to do four sets of 12 pushups! Yeah! I really want to workout today but I am working at my summer camp job and then training three clients at night. Maybe I can attempt to workout at 8pm when I am all done but by that time I will just want to crash! Carie, you are right, there is no point in getting discouraged. I feel your pain, I really do. I can realate so much to you. (I am 155 still even after working out 4 times last week!) I think maybe you need to try something other than walking or if that is not possible maybe walking a different route, walking with hand weights or ankle weights or walking at a faster pace. The point is to challenge yourself. If your body gets used to doing the same thing over and over you will come to a stand still with your weight loss. Change is key to your workouts! Hope that helps. |

| Didn't weight myself today but I am sure I am still around 155. It's that time too, so I know it will be a little higher on the scale from that. I did not workout last night even though I worked at the gym and could have. I just didn't feel like I could. I had a headake real bad. So tonight I am hoping to get a workout in or maybe a bike ride before it gets dark. My mom told me last night that she thought I looked a little thinner. I hope she meant it. My boyfriend said the same to me this morning also. So maybe I lost a little since I have been eating better and working out more. I just wish the scale would move into the 140's! I don't want to start my new teaching job in Sept. weighing this weight! All the other teachers will refer to me as the short fat girl who teaches 7th grade language arts. And the students will talk about me being fat. You know how cruel middle school kids can be! So, I am changing it now before it is too late! | |||

| Holly you are so lucky that you went to Disney! I want to go back. Did you go to the one in Florida or California?
Last night I cancelled my personal training oppoitment that I had with my client because I train her on the beach and the forcast said that there was going to be strong storms. But that never happened and I was mad because I lost money that I needed. But instead I went to workout myself. My community center where I live has a little gym so I went to that. I worked my back and triceps and did 10 mins on a hard crosstrainer and 10 on the treadmill. That's not bad for me considering that I am just getting back into working out on a regular basis again. I looked through my old personal training book last night that I had back in 2003-2005 with my old trainer. (This was before I ever became a trainer myself). I was depressed when I read all of my results. I was as low as 127lbs and my body fat was only 22.4% in Jan. 05! Two years before that I was 155 and 39% body fat. I worked very hard to get the weight and body fat down and I did it. And I kept it off for a long time. But then a year ago I moved in with my new boyfriend and got lazy. I stopped working out 5-6 days a week and began eating bad. Now here I am at 155 and wish that I could go back in time to when I was 127 and tell myself to NEVER give up! I should have known that I could never slack. What is sad is that it only took me about 4-5 months to put on 20lbs! Tonight I plan on working out, cardio only, hopefully for 40 minutes. I have been eating very good. Yesterday I only ate 1,222 calories and took in only 16 grams of fat. The difference is that I have been eating fruit insead of gronola bars or 100 calorie snack packs for my snacks. I am thinking of staring Alli. I know that the side effects are horrible but it will help me keep my fat intake down. I won't eat fatty foods if I know that I might have bad side effects. It says it can help the average person loose 50% more weight. That sounds good to me. *****Sorry for the book, talk to you all later.***** |

| Good luck at Red Lobster tonight Carie! I wish I was going. But I would probably have to give in and have their delicious rolls that are oh so bad for you. I ate out this weekend. Nothing terrible but not great either. I worked out four days last week and I am feeling great but the scale is stuck at 155. That is high for me. I am usually around 151. I was at the beach yesterday and I was HATING my body. I felt so self consience about the fat on my back and stomach. I need to get rid of it! Tonight I will workout my triceps and back and hopefully do about 20 to 30 mins of cardio. We'll see. Happy Monday to all. | |||
