Hi sdduhart

I'm cyndie and I was over 250lbs when I started you can do this.  I just celebrated the holidays in my new body without having to take the surgery route.  I ate well and exercised and lost over 80lbs since March 2008.  You can do it don't give up and forgive yourself for bad days and keep moving in the right direction.  I would still like to loose another 20-30lbs and plan to start on that this week.  The Holiday's are really hard with all the parties but it can be done. 

start weight 253lbs

current weight 165lbs.

lonestarpenny,

Great Job you are working it girly.  I'm proud of you.  If I can do this anyone can.  keep going, You will make your goal size before you know it. 

Thank you jerichocheyenne, you are right nothing taste as good as being thinner.  I look at myself and can't believe it most days but I'm getting used to the new me for sure. 

Hello Everyone,

It has been forever since I have logged on.  My son has been in baseball and with practice everyday, working, going to school and two other kids I have been so busy I barely have had time to sleep.  We just got back from World Series we did not do too good but it was a fun trip.

Well I am almost there.  When I started this I was 222 and I am now 177.  I was down to 172 but I gained a few pounds while we were out of town but I am back on track as of today. 

Starting weight- 254

CC starting weight- 222

current weight - 177

Jericho,

Hang in there girl you mean so much to all of us. You got this thing started and you have people who care about you and how you are doing.  We may not live very close but we are just one click away.  You are so brave to even admit that you backed off due to emotional eating I don't know too many people who would have that integrity an be that honest to share that.  Stay encouraged you are doing great and we all fall but the ability to get back up and keep going shows the kind of person you are and desire to be.  You can do this!!!

It has been a while since I have logged on and I need to update my picture.  It has been a few weeks because I have been so busy with little league baseball my son is on 3 teams right now and things are so hectic.  I also coordinated autism night with our local minor league team and we raised $16,000.00 for it, so excited. 

As for my weightloss so far so good.  I think the last time I was on I weighed 203 and I am now 187.  That is a total weightloss of 67lbs from my highest weight and 35 lbs since I joined calorie counters.  My weightloss has slowed down but it is going in the right direction.  I went shopping and got a few shirts and jeans.  I'm finally out of plus sizes after 14 years this is all new but I am getting used to it more every day.

Hang in there gang let's do this together and I will do my best to log more.

Hi all,

It has been a couple of weeks since I checked in.  Baseball season is a very very busy time.  Weight loss has been going well.  As of Friday I am 2lbs away from my first goal, being under 200lbs.  I have lost 20lbs since I started CC's and 52lbs from my highest weight.  Keep going guys, don't give up we can do this. 

Have a good day and a good week,

Cyndie

I bet you have lost more than you think.  When it is our TOM we tend to hold on to water weight wich can account for up to 5 lbs of weight.  Give yourseld another week and you will see that you lost more than 2oz of weight when it is all finished.  Don't get discouraged.  Post pics of the new luandry room always looking for ideas to do to mine.

Hi guys,

Sorry I did not get to post over the weekend.  I weighed in on Friday and was 217 not sure if I posted that.  222 to 217 that is 5lbs off.  Still working on this week but so far so good.  Let's keep it going from what I heard everyone is doing great.  If you had a slipup no biggie get back on it and let's do this together.

Hi guys,

Weigh in today a little nervous, hope all goes well.  Welcome to all the new people. 

catbird-woman-  You are on the right track, good job loosing the 9lbs.  When I started a moth or so ago everyone was asking me what my goal was and I broke it up into small goals like you are doing.  I started at 246 and my first goal was to be under 200 then I would set another.  I think when we set out with so many high expectations right off the bat we can get discouraged easily and feel like it will never happen so good for you for setting small goals at first.

Tammyb1995- Don't cry at all you are doing great look at the overall picture versus the one week pictureand keep your head up.  It could that you are retaining water more this week and you may have lost weight but with retaining water it does not show on the scale.  I know that is how I felt last week going to the dr.  I did not loose a pound but gained 3 oz. and thought I would cry then they told me that it was water weight I had gained and had actually lost fat over the week.  Keep your head up you are going for it and that alone is encouraging people to start themselves.

happyhealthyme- we have soemthing in common I love volleyball and play in our church league and it is so much fun. I am proud of you for making the change for your kids.  My kids inspired me as well to do better.  You are not a horrible mother.  A mother who sees the problem and then refuses to make the changes for there kids are horrible not you.  My daughter is 16 and has bad eating habits because of me I can tell you that since I started she has begun to loose weight herself just from doing what I do in a modified way and she is exercising with meand stuff.  We as mothers have the power to change our families.  I'm proud of you for making the changes even the small ones will change your kids lives. 

neverilluknow-  I like the idea of logging I can logg on Friday's that is the day I get weighed.

Have a great day guys and lets do this!!!

Thanks Jerichocheyenne you are a good encourager.  I will give it another try and see how I do. 

Hi ylovedis welcome this is a great group I just started a day ago and they are already welcoming me.  We can do this together for sure. 

good job tammyb1995 I'm proud of you.  You are on your way to making that 15 min. mile. 

I have the Tea-bo series and I never started it.  They are so hard.  I tried with my husband but he is so uncordinated that I spent most of the time laughing at him instead of doing the workout.  I may try them again.  I'll let you know how it goes.  You are right if I can do a little bit a day at least that is something.

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site, today is my first day of seeing it.  I would love to join you all.  I started my weight loss program about 5 weeks ago.  I would love to loose 100lbs.  I have not been under 200lbs for almost 14 years.  I would like any support I can get. 

Here is my stats:

SW 246

CW 222

GW 140-160

I usually weigh in on Friday's and will update then. 

Thanks,

Cyndie 

This is my first day on this site and my husband has been asking me to do a 5k with him and I did not know how to start.  Thanks for the information.  I think I can do this now. I walk every morning for about miles but I never attempt to run.  Great info I think I can do this. 

Thanks
