why dont you go on a scale and see how much you weigh for yourself..why do we have to tell you and guess how much you weigh?

this is a stupid/dumb game and i think you are trying to fish for compliments. If that is the case i think you should go to another forum because if someone says the wrong weight lord knows how upset you would be then you would probably start resulting to unhealthy ways of loosing weight.  

go to a rate me or date me site or whatever if you want people to judge you soo bad.

NONE of them work. they are a waste of money and damage your body. dont even waste your time with them!

Original Post by gypsyfan:

It didn't work so far, just stopping at 4PM. My weight today is at its former high of 204!

I will try again to keep my calories under 2200, because I know I lose weight then, applying Eat to Live principles (a lb of cooked veggies, a lb of raw veggies, a cup of beans, and four fruits).

How's everybody doing?

 How many calories are you buring a day? Is your burn meter at sedetary and then you are adding in your exercise activites? I dont know if its me but eating 2400 calories a day is to much if you want to loose weight. I just got down to 200 lbs (205 two weeks ago) and i only eat about 1500 calories a day and work out about 6 days a week(buring about 600-800 calorie a workout). sometimes eat 1700 on a bad day

also...dont wiegh your self everyday...your weight fluctuates alot through out the week, and even through out the day because of water weight. You might be 200 in the morning but by late afternoon you could be 205.

hope the advice helps..good luck. 

hey guys!! i hope everyone is having an awesome week!! Im excited to say that i have lost 3 pounds in one week! and I have almost hit my minigoal of being 199 by the time school starts up again in august! I am feeling better than ever both physically and emotionally! Im eating well and working out 6 days a week i love it! My cravings for horrible fired food is gone..but i still do have trouble with sweets tho...so to surpress that craving i eat sugar free popsicals! yum!

brownsug I cannot stress enough to you how important it is to do some kind of strength training in your excercise routine!!! you dont have to do any heavy lifting eaither! i guarentee you that you will loose even more weight if you have a mix of cardio and weight training in your work out...it raises your metabolism and your muscle are still burning fat even when you are done with your work out! how awesome is that?! just remember to start small and then build up from there!!  

wants2bhot girl i looked at all your pictures today and you look GREAT! i am so proud of you...you are my motivation!! 

tmoakley11 just hang in there girl!! i am glad you know what to do to fix the problem that you are having! i am postitive if you stick with it...you will see results! remember to take it one day at a time!


SW: 205

CW: 203

miniGW: 199

GW: 140-150

all of you guys are amazing...keep up the good work!

I have a Polar one and it is waterproof so you can go swimming and stuff.

i would just chill out a bit. Its just been two weeks, some people go a whole month before seeing results. You just have to remember this lifestyle change is not going to happen overnight...it takes time.

Just hang in there, dont give up.

i def broke my diet....but i worked out each of those days and burned at least 700 in each work out so it gave me a little breathing room!

what i have learned thru my weight loss journey is that, you can work out as long/hard/and as much as you want to. If you dont change your eating habits, all that working out means nothing. If you are just merely "watching what you eat", it is not going to cut it, figure out what you want your deficit to be and try to follow it. How many calories are you eating a day, how many aare you burning, you can burn 3000 calories a day but if you are intaking 3000 you will not see any type of change.

Also, to me, elliptical machines are not very effiencent...all they do is bring up your heart reat and that is about it, the calorie counter on that machine is all out of whack if it says you burned 500 calories you probably only burned 250 at the most. I suggest that you invest in a heart rate monitor with a calorie counter to see how many calories you burn on the monitor. It is way more accurate than those machines at the gym.

I dont know, its just mean but how the hell can a comment like that be taken out of context?! It says what it means, and it was not right to say at all.

You are a very beautiful woman and it is sad that your husband cannot realize that, you should def bring it up and talk to him about it. If you are happy with the way you look, then nothign else should matter.

im 20...counting down the days to 21!!

Motivation: My boyfriend is a great motivator for me...when i tell him that i cant do something he always reassures me that I can and he knows how hard I am working. Working out at least 6 days and week eating healthy and all, he is just so great. My other accomplishments in life is something else that motivates me. I am doing really well in college right now, doing many things I thought i could never do but i did them. so i thought why not weight loss?! I know this is probably going to be one of the biggest challenges in my life, but I just tell myself to be strong and stick through it. Hopefully by the time I graduate college in two years, I would like to be at least 50 lbs lighter...and look damn good in that cap and gown =)

Loss?: I have lost 6 lbs since ive joined this site May 19. I would like to lose at least 20 lbs by the time I get back to school in August. I would be so proud of myself!


How Long on CC?: I have been apart of CC for about almost a month now, I joined last summer as well lost some weight but fell of the bandwagon once i got back to school but this time i plan on stickin with it!

I would like to get in on this! I have about 10-11 weeks left of summer so if i lost 20 pounds it will be great! i am on a 1500-1600 calorie limit a day and exercise 6 days a weeks burning about 500-600 calories a work out...am i on the right track be down 20 lbs by the end of the 10 weeks? i am currtenly 199 ive lost 6 lbs already i wantt to eventually get down to 145 but loosing 20 this summer would be a great start!! any help is apperciated...thanks!!

I want to be able to wear a bikini

i dont want my thighs to touch anymore!

buy a heart rate monitor to make sure you are in the right heart weight zone to just burn fat and not sugars.

Those elliptical machines are usually off by at least between 150-200 calories. I would highly reccommed getting a heart rate monitor to count the caloris you burn off during a work out i just bought a new Polar RS200 that is just amazing! The good ones that count calories are a bit pricy (mine was $150) but they are totally worth it...it will definatly change the way that you work out!

And yeah you totally need to go to the doctor to to get your heart checked out...it doesnt sound to good!
