I am 194, trying to get down to ~160, if that doesnt matter :)

I'd love to join if you'll have me! I'm 5'7" and currently about 183/184. I started out around 240, so I've come a long way, but I still would like to lose about 30 more pounds- and it is starting to get much harder!

i'm 5'3" and 185. I'm looking to lose about 55 pounds this summer/next fall. I'd love to exchange emails or AIM if you wanna chat!

my info: i'm 21, entering my 3rd year of grad school, and I love raw fruits and veggies but I hate exercising. Wellllll I don't mind it, but it's too damn hot right now.... haha :-p

What are you doing to lose the weight?

I have a poor bicycle that I have neglected for way too long.  The gas prices are a big motivator for me to walk and ride my bike.  I almost always walk to work, unless I am very rushed.  I plan on walking my dog more too.  The only problem with me is that I am currently a full time student (monday-friday 8-2:30) even in the summer, and I work alot.  School and work are very demanding for me.  I need to fit time in for exercising more. 
My family history includes heart disease and stroke and all that bad crap.  I want to stay healthy ( I mean, I know I am fat, but I can still breathe for christ sake).  And I have been talking more about how much I want to be mini.  I feel like I am so much smaller than I look.  And it's about time that I look how I feel.  Now is a great time.

Don't push yourself too hard! I also am a full time student, however, not in the summer :P.  I do not know how people can both work and do school full time at the same time. I do an internship during the summer and full time student during the year but do not mix the two :P.

Im sure you will find the time to fit in some excersing! Stay motivated, I know how fleeting that feeling can be at times :/ 

Hello all,

I have been hovering in the 180s all year, despite excersicing regularly and generally eating well, the weight hasnt really shifted much. Have started a new programme in the gym this week, and am determined to lose some weight this time. In am 5'6", 27years old, and currently 181.

Anyone with top tips - i'd be delighted to hear them!

 

 

I'm 5'1" and weigh around 170, just gained 5 pounds again in 6 months.  Gotta get my butt in gear and stop gaining.  Need to lose 40-50, 50 lbs would be a healthy weight. I used to be 105 before kids and car.

hey all

WOW it's nice to see you all here. OK, so the "group" is a bit bigger than I wanted but I'm O.K. with it......... BUT NO MORE PEOPLE NOW!!!.............

LOL! I don't get to come on much so it's easer to keep up with a small group :)

Hey all,

how have you all done with your weight loss over the weekend?

Have been stuck at 181 for well over a couple of weeks despite trying the new excercise routine and generally eating well.

How long have your 'plateaus' lasted for? Will I ever see some results?

BTW - do we still chat on this page if the group is closed? Am easily confused!!

I am also confused as to whether or not we still use this page.

Anyways, I bought a Weight Watchers scale this weekend.  It keeps track of my starting, current, goal and how much i have lost and have to go. A little better than my old dial scale.

I went home this weekend to see my dad for father's day.  Home is about 2 hours away.  Because gas prices are really bad, my husband and I decided to take the motorcycle.  We spent under $10 on gas (round trip) but we are really sore.  And I went over my calorie intake a couple hundred, but I knew that I would.

Aside from eating more on Sunday, I have been eating pretty good.  I find that I don't eat enough alot of the time (even before cc).  Some days less than 1000. My big problem is when school starts up again, next week, that I will not be eating enough and drinking alot of stuff instead.  I go to school from 8-230 Mon-Fri and work from 2:30 til 4:30 and then from 5 til nine or ten.  I am very busy when school comes around because I pay for everyhting myself.  It's incredibly hard for me to pack my lunch everyday and find time for exercise.  Because I still have to do homework and projects and all that crap.  And my husband needs to eat too.  He's lean and active, so I worry more about him being hungry than me.
Holy crap sorry I wrote so much

Hewwo?  So I take it we do not use this page or something?  I am a tad bit confused.  What happened to the group?

I'm also wondering where the group discussion should be.

I've been logging my food and "exercise" daily.  I really have not been eating well or exercising much. Next week I'll be biking to work, but I'm off Monday and Tuesday so I need to find a place to take the family for a nice hike.

I usually walk to work and I may be riding my bike to school and work starting next week.  It all depends on how many books I have to lug around.  I have been trying to eat good.  I was sick yesterday from eating Uncle Ben's Ready rice.  I am almost positive that is it.  Trying to not feel sick and keeping myself motivated.

I lost this page as well :P Not real sure what we should be doing for our discussion either.

Last week was not a pleasant week, stayed even at 193.6 almost the entire week. (I weigh myself daily). Changed my workout routine from elliptical all the time to alternating days of

30min swim/30min bike and 45 min treadmill.

Seemed to kickstart me, now ive started downwards again to 192.2.

I wish I could ride to work :/. Its just too far away for me and it would be some exercise. Stay motivated!! Drinking is an issue at school, but hey, go for those low cal drinks! I tried those mikes hard lemonade lights, they are nice :P Dont feel bad for writing too much!

Ha I meant drink more fluids because it's easier.  Not alcohol! I do have a couple of drinks on Thursdays because it's cheap beer night.  But I don't do it if I have an exam the next day.  I am not a drinker. Definitely a 3 beer queer.

Hi all.

A week into the  new programme and no change  yet, so fingers crossed for next week. Am praying that this build muscle will burn more  fat plan will work - otherwise i'll be getting heavier :-(

Hi all, The plateau has ended - I have actually gained 2lbs now. :-(

has this happened to anyone else when they've started resistance activities in their excercise routine?

Help!
