wvfamdoc2b, that's great. Congrats to you too!!! Man, it was a bad weekend for me. It is so hard for me to stay on track during the holidays. I need to make a serious change tho -- i'm running out of time!!! lol How's weight watchers working out? I've never tried it, but I hear it works pretty well. I just don't have much money and from what I've heard it kind of expensive. I got up early this morning and worked out for a little bit before going to work. I gotta do that every morning and then work out more in the evening too. |

Thank you both! I like the targets idea.. I'll have to implement that. I'm going to get into a regular excercise routine. I think my fiance and I are going to start getting up early and taking the dogs for a walk....if not before work we'll do it in the evening. I'm also going to keep up with the Wii fit. I'll be happy when it stops calling me obese and I get to just being overweight. haha It is a neat thing and I think it will really come in handy with losing the weight. It's a good tracker too. That'll be neat when you can get it too, busybee. You'll enjoy it I think. Thanks again. I'm getting back on track starting today! I'm excited for watermelon - my afternoon snack today! I cut it up yesterday and it looked soo good. lol - it's the simple things :) |

Well, I'm scared to weigh myself.....so I'm putting it off. Memorial Day weekend was horrible! I ate and drank way too much. So that's why I don't want to step on the scale. Yesterday I went back to my slim fast and healthy eating, so maybe I'll brave it and step on the scale tomorrow. |

Down to 212.5 today! I can't wait to be under 200. I did have some chips yesterday.....but I worked out afterwards. lol This weekend is going to be really hard. We're having a BBQ on Saturday and I know that day is going to be full of things I shouldn't eat. But I'll just get right back on track and stay focused! |

Thanks! Yeah, I know I have to stick with it even after the fact. I am hoping that once I see that change, I won't want to go back and somehow it will click that you can't eat like you used to. I hear you with the binging.....my hardest thing right now is just trying not to pig out when dinner comes around and i have "real food" lol |

Vendicare, thanks so much for the words of encouragement! I really appreciate it. When I get under 200 again, I think I'm going to try on my dress again. I'm dying to now, but want to see some sort of difference. Once I incorporate working out into my routine, I know I'll see even more difference. I want to get a recumbent bike. I think that would be a fun piece of equipment to have. I'll also get out and be taking the dogs for a walk daily too. We'll all benefit! Thanks again for your success story. I'm so glad to hear it! Congratulations....I can't wait to lose these 63 lbs. I just know that I will feel so much better! |

I'm down to 213.5..whoohoo! I'm starting to get a little tired of the strawberry slim fast for breakfast...chocolate is still going good for lunch though. I was sooo tempted to have a little ice cream last night, but I didn't.. I need to stick with this! Only 63.5 lbs to go! |

Hey there.... I'm almost 25 yrs old, weight about 214 right now and need to get down to 150 --- hopefully by 3/31/09. I'm getting married in April and bought a dress that was too small. By the time the wedding rolls around, I'm hoping it not only fits, but needs to be taken in some! |

I've lost 5 1/2 lbs with my first week of using the slim fast shakes again. I'm hoping to lose another 5 lbs this week. If I can continue losing I'm going to be very happy! It honestly hasn't been that hard for me to stick to this time around. I'm sooo glad! |

Well, after not eating the best over the weekend, I'm still at 214. I'll take it and continue with my fruit and slimfasts today :) I'm hoping to be down at least another 5 lbs by the end of the week!! |

Thanks hdlm.. I work in an office so I'll have to try what you said and taking the stairs rather than the elevator. I know that would help. I want a recumbent bike too. I really can't stand the treadmills, and sometimes you dont' feel like going outside for a walk, so that's one thing that I want. I'll have to check walmart out! Good luck getting into your outfit too :) Thanks for the congrats walnuthill. I think I actually have a pair of pants that are too small, but too cute to give away. I'll have to start trying them on :) I'll love fitting into them again. I've heard a lot of sucess stories with Weight Watchers. If slim fast doesn't pan out for me, I'll have to try that. Thanks again!

I know what you mean about the doctor's scales....those things are evil! I hate the lecture as well. I've been pretty lucky with not really having any health issues related to my wieght so far. I know I have to change so I don't start having problems though. I have bad knees which I'm hoping get better as the pounds fall off. I used to use my hypothyroidism as my excuse for not being able to lose the weight....but I know I gotta stop doing that. :) I had gotten under 200 before and then moved back in with my mom for a while and put it all back and more! That was so sad. But 15 lbs to go until i'm back under again. I know it will feel great and I'll make myself the promise never to get that heavy again! |

Wow, that's impressive! How long did it take you to get down to the 175? I lost another 1 1/2 lbs! I'm a compulsive weigher I guess.....for some reason (unless I know I ate stuff I shouldn't have) I feel the need to step on the scale every morning. That is great that you work out in the morning and walk to work! I think I'm going to try getting up earlier and taking the dogs for a walk... that's a workout in itself...they're always taking ME for a walk. Congrats on your wedding as well. It's a very exciting time....'specially when the dress fits right! :) |

Thanks Maria! I think what's key for me is getting that motivation to start working out. Once you start and start feeling better, it's not that hard....just making that first effort :) |

I've just started doing the shakes again. They worked in the past. I'm taking the optima shakes...one for breakfast and one for lunch. I've lost a few pounds already and just started on Monday. It gives me the structure I need. :) |

That's great. Good luck on losing the 28 lbs! I have to get my bike fixed so I can start riding it. It's been broken for about 2 years now... lol But this year it will get fixed and I know that will help. It is exciting when you start seeing the weight come off. I can't wait to see a difference in how my clothes fit. And I am absolutely looking forward to trying on my dress again when i know I'm skinnier. I'd love to do it now, but I know it would be discouraging, so I will try to be patient :) |

Thanks! Yeah, that the hard thing for me too....its like your mind tells you that if you just don't eat the calories, you'll lose even more, but I know it doesn't always work that way. I'll have to find that balance! The good news is, even thought I know I'm not any skinnier, I've been feeling like I am. It's a nice feeling, just need to make it a reality! |
