I know what you mean about the people in your everyday life not getting it! I think you have come to the right place to make friends with like minded people who can help and encourage you along your journay to lose those 35lbs! It sounds like you are off to a great start :)  You can do it!!

Friday is my weigh in day so I didn't want to forget my March 1st so I'm a little early. What a hard month February has been for me.  I had high hopes but unfortunately I fell off the wagon a bit with my eating off and on all month.  I gained 2 lbs...yucko!!!

Funny is so many people in the last two weeks have noticed my weight loss it makes me feel a little guilty knowing that I haven't been sticking to my plan like in the beginning.  I'm so busy at work its hard to focus on other things...is it April 15th yet??  Anyway those comment have given me new motivation to keep on going!  I am determined to get these 28lbs off before my Vacation in June I want to be under 300lbs by then. 

Feb. 1st weight 326lbs

7lbs lost for me for the month of January!  Yeah!  This monthly weight in really helps me put my month in prospective which is great for my motovation :) 

Its my super busy time at work so I just don't have lots of time to post but I'm here in spirit and will check in when I can.  I hope everyone has a great February!

Happy New Year!!!

I'm so ready to get started losing weight again (December I have been off the wagon!). 

Yeah Sun new clothes!!  I'm glad you found something you like.  Thats a great idea to have things a bit snug as a reminder for the holidays not to over do it!  We have a Dress Barn close by me but I haven't been in there in years since I out grew their sizes I might just have to check it out before too long. ;)  I can't wait to update my clothes a bit.  I feel like it is hard to see my weight loss in my baggy clothes (I do love having to pin the waist up in my pants!).  I did go and try on a few things at Macy's but I felt like I was inbetween sizes in the pants that I wanted so I didn't buy them.  I'm hoping to lose another 20lbs or so and then think about some new basics I can buy to keep me going for awhile. 

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a great October.  Mine was ok.  I noticed my weight loss in the middle of the month kind of stopped but I wasn't sticking to my plan as closely so for the last couple of weeks I have been much better with my eating and started a new work out routine at the YMCA.  It felt so weird at first being in there (of course the largest one there lol) with fit people working out but really I had a great time and it felt good!  Everyone has to start somewhere :)  I did reach my goal of 50lb total lost in October on time so yeah me on that one! My new goal is to be under 300lbs by March 1st (as of today that is 31.2lbs) woohoo I can't wait!

Lost in October 7.4lbs! For a total of 53.8!

I had GD with my pregnancy and it wasn't too bad to follow the diet they gave me.  I watched the white pasta and bread no sweets of course.  They always wanted me to eat a carb and a protein together.  Like for snacks an apple w/peanut butter as a snack (this was a godsend I loved it), a hard cheese and crackers or peanut butter.  For breakfast eggs are excellent and you can have wheat toast with it  along with a breakfast meat if you want.  For lunch I ate lots of salads w/chicken or beans for protein.  Dinner was always a meat and veggie. Like pork chops, salad, steamed broccoli ect.   I wouldn't worry too much until after your test!

Hows everyone doing?  I'm still plugging along on my weight loss journey here.  I have lost 38lbs to date (yeah me!) and am feeling so much better since I added exercise to my life.  I hope you all and doing well I would love to hear how things are going!

Hi Val :)  Yes my mini goal is 30lbs by September and I'm well on my way there!  My reward will be a new bathing suit (shocker- lol) for our vacation in early September.  I'm still at 23.6 pounds loss this week the scale has been crazy up and down but this morning I was back to my lowest weight so I guess it is working out.  I'm still walking and following my plan so I know the weight will come off maybe just slower than the beginning. 

Welcome Thax, mrstarmara, spade and mish666uk I can't wait to hear about all of your success! 

Mrstarmara I know what you mean about trying to fix yourself up more.  I got a new haircut and am taking a little more time doing my makeup ect in the morning.  Most of all I'm not beating myself up so much (boy that is a hard habit to break!)  Your picture is so pretty ...I will need some tips from ya! :)

SpadeWow 9lbs what a great start!  You have a great idea to start slow and work up to logging everything.  I found that it does make me pay attention to what I am eating.  You will have to let me know how you like the Bellydancing that sounds like so much fun!

mish666uk  It sounds like you are committed to making a change!  I know you will do great.  I work at a desk all day myself so I know that challenge.  Recently I have been walking during my lunch break to get some extra exercise. 

j9gwen Welcome!  I so agree when I joined just over a month ago I was like yeah there are other people with huge weight loss goals I can relate too.  Everyone is so nice and encouraging! 

Writesuff Yeah 40lbs off!  You are well on your way to your goal. I love it I hear about someone keeping the weight off.  I'm so worried about the maintenance side (I'm far from worrying about it really lol) and keeping it off.  Taking it off slow seems to help with that.  Keep us posted on your progress!

Have a great week everyone!

Just checking in with everyone!  Vp is right its easy to get distracted (life is so busy!) from this forum.  I would love to hear how everyone is doing.  I'm feeling great and losing weight.  Its starting to show in my clothes --yeah thats the best feeling.  I have recently started working out that wow that has greatly improved my weight loss I have lost 23.6 pounds so far!  I still have a long way to go but I'm in it for the long haul.  I wish you all the best! Good Luck!

Welcome Tired and Panic!   It sounds like you both have set your goals and are on your way.  I am only a month or so into my journey but it has really changed my life so far.  I know we can all do it!!   Good Luck! 

Trustwoman - Thanks so much for the encouragement! I love hearing all of the success stories it is uplifting!  :) 

That sounds like a healthy breakfast to me! Hello from a fellow carolinian :)

Mnic you are doing great!  You should be very proud of all of your progress.  I don't know how you manage on 1,000 calories a day girl!   You have some amazing willpower.  Pat yourself on the back!  I noticed we started about the same time from your bio!  I started June 5th.  I have lost 15lbs and I'm so happy with my progress.  I'm really trying to make this my new life and not a diet per say.  I allow myself 2,000 calories a day right now.  So far so good for me....  Have a great holiday! 

Valsgoal - wow oh wow its always great to hear that IT can really happen.  I can really lose 100+ pounds.  That people really do do it!!  Thanks for the inspiration for me.  I know that before long we will be hearing about you reaching your goal.  I can't wait!

I'm still here still plugging along with my plan.  Mnic wow 21lbs that is great! Congrats to you on such a great start.  I have lost 5lbs since I started here at CC and that feels great even if it isn't coming off as fast as I had hoped for it is coming off.  I hope everyone else is having a great week and enjoying their new journey to take off the weight. 

Well we went out armed with my new tips and tricks last night and I'm proud to say that it was better than the last time we tried.  Lucky this place was not crowded so we were able to "walk" the little one around after she decided that she could sit no longer in her high chair.  All the distractions definitely helped keep her occupied longer than normal.  Of course the food came out really really slow!!  It kind of worked out for a table of 8 my food came first and I started eating right away-lol and hubby played with Sarah.  By the time hubby's food came out (his was last)  I was almost done so I took over the entertainment of the little one.   It wasn't perfect (what in my life is!) but it did work to get us out of the house for some social time with our friends.

Thanks again everyone!  Oh yeah and Lulufit you are my hero 4 kids under 5 and going out to eat a lot! You are doing something right--you ROCK!
