I am definitely in.

I am Sue, 25 years old, 5'7" and 135 pounds and hope to be at my goal weight by the end of the summer.

Hi i am definitely joining this group.

I am 5'7" and 135 pounds:

GW1: 125 lbs

GW2: 120 lbs... by August by losing at least 1.5-2 pounds per week.

ChattyNoel: We are sailing in the same boat. I kept saying ok tomorrow I will continue with my diet and everytime I mess up I would just go way off tangent because I already messed up (I am an all or nothing person and so one little mistake will just escalate).

So I just finally had to be hard with myself and decide that if I want to remain fat and miserable then I will continue on the path that I was heading or I could force myself to do the right thing and diet and exercise to get the weight off. It really pays off. But, getting the motivation (especially when you have gained weight) is very miserable and it makes you feel like you want to quit, but if you quit it only would get worst.

Also, I kept on eating late at nights and overeating because I love to overeat. But, that is something I also changed.

Also do not keep foods in your house that you should not be eating because you only will eat what is available. This will prevent you from reaching for those snacks. I know when you live with people it is hard to reach your goals especially when they are eating foods that you love but tell yourself you can't have but having those foods around does not help.

I hope you reach back to your LW very soon and on your way to reaching your final goal!

So ok I am definitely plateuing and don't know what to do to get out of it. I have been maintaining about 133-135 for the past month or so and it is just so frustrating. 

I dont want to change my diet because it is a good one. What should I do?

Hey guys today is Monday morning and I have been maintaining 135lbs for the past month. I am not too happy about this because I should have atleast reached my 3rd goal weight of 125lbs by now. But I will be going back to my strict workout plan today and start to losing approximately 2lbs per week again. 

My weekly goals were what was keeping me on track so I am going back to my tactical plans instead of looking at the overall picture, where I most times get lost. Anyway enough of the rambling.

I hope everyone is doing well and sticking to their plans.

Bye.

Hey everyone, Its Sept 1 and though I ate crap for the past 2 weeks and have not been to the gym still, I am still managing to maintain my 134lbs. I am so happy because I deliberately took 1 week off from the gym hoping it wouldn't change my weight and it didn't so I am glad. I will be starting back my gym routine today to resume my weight loss. My 2nd goal that I have reached my first goal is to get down to 125lbs. Which, is 9lbs away. Shouldn't be too hard I hope.

I hope everyone is doing great!

Until Next Week.

Hello Chatty, well it is Tuesday and I bought a scale today. I did not get a chance to weigh in at the gym since last week. But, according to my new scale I am 134pounds from 138 last week (a 4 pounds lost). I am not too enthusiastic about that though because I did not weigh in on the scale I am use to so I am wondering if there is some margin of error on this scale as I still feel fat. But, I will see when I go to the gym tomorrow and weigh in there as I usually do and I will then see if this scale is worth anything. Also I have been totally going off my diet for the last couple of day so that is one more reason for not believing this new scale.

Hope all you guys are doing well and dont be like me... don't get frustrated and give up when you are not getting the results you want, you will just sabotage your progress. Keep going and be strong, because together we can do it.

Hello Group, today is Monday (Weigh In Day) and I am happy to report that I am down 2 pounds from 140, making me (Drum Roll Please) 138pounds. Finally I am in the 130's I am so happy for that.

I realize that the secret to this weight loss thing (for me at least) is to keep your major goal at the back of your mind without dwelling on it too much. But, at the same time make tactical weekly goals that you can realistically stick to, that way you don't get too frustrated in looking the the big picture.

Ok so I hope that everyone is doing great!!!

HI all the last couple of day shave been really bad for me. I have not been able to go to the gym because I have a cold soar. I however, feel like I have lost some weight but I do need to feel well enough so I can weigh in on monday.

I hope everyone else is doing ok, eating up their raw fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of pure water and/or green tea and exercising for even 10 minutes a day.

I can't wait to see how everyone progresses on Monday.

Ok guys have a great weekend.

Hey Monaday works good as a weigh in date for me as well. I weighed yesterday and I am 142lbs.

I am a vegan for quite some time now, but had decided a long time ago that I wanted to do a 100 day raw food challenge starting July 14, 2008. That being yesterday. That brings me to the challenge I will face this week. Which is that I have to get use to being on a raw food vegan diet and learning / trying new recipes. This will be tough as I love my processed Carbs :(

But, lets keep our heads high and press on.

Your schedule really seems tough though. I hope you will be able to get that exercise in even if for 30 minutes a day.

I found kickboxing to be totally effective. I hope to get some exercise DVD's real soon.

All the best everyone.

And remember, the race is not for the swift but for those that endures to the end...MUAH!!!
