I'm sort of new to this whole thing. I'm really interested in losing weight (I'm 5'10", 205 lbs. and my goal weight is 160 lbs.). Is this reasonable? What would you suggest is the best way and how do you stay on track??

Welcome! I'm pretty new too and still trying to perfect what works and what doesn't! I'm 5'10" and currently 218, hoping to reach 150. I had my metabolism checked and based on that I'm eating 1600 calories daily, eating a protein and carb with each meal, plenty of fruit, not a big veggie fan but eating what I can, drinking tons of water, and exercising(both cardio and weights) 5x per week.  I'm trying to watch my salt intake but a girls got to have something to look forward to! I didn't see much in the way of results for the first three weeks but its finally starting to show.  I'm down almost 3 lbs from last week and we'll see what Monday's weigh in brings! Good luck!

<br>Hey everyone :) I just started my weight loss journey a little over a week ago... stumbled across this site yesterday. It's really awesome to have such a great support system! I am at my absolute heaviest weight.. I am so tired of feeling tired... feeling uncomfortable with myself and especially around other people. I've HAD IT! So here's to a healthier, happier, sexier, new me in hopefully the near future!!:)</br>

<b><br>Height: 5'9</br></b>

<b><br>CW: 275</br></b>

<b><br>First GW: 225</br></b>

<b><br>Eventually I hope to reach 175 </br><b>

I know I can do this!!! and so can you!

 

Ughhhh I guess I am really new to this stuff... I thought I had to add all of these HTML codes.... jeeeeze LOL please ignore all of the <b><br> mumbo jumbo :)

I'm 5 9.5 and 240lbs. I started CC at 264. I have PCOS, Diabetes (early stages) and dealing with hypothyroidism as well. I love The Firm work out videos and I am seeing a nice reduction in inches although the weight will not melt off the way I would like.

Monday weigh ins are great for me as I weigh myself on Sundays. Looking forward to hanging out with ladies in my height/weight range.

TTYL

O.K. ladies, not seeing any Monday updates so far.  I'll go ahead and be the first, and pray that the rest of you had better results last week!

LW: 218

CW: 219.6

+1.6lbs

Tough week.  Out of town business trip just killed me, between dinners out and only working out once - not pretty.  Here goes:

LW: 227

CW: 229

+2lbs. 

This is so depressing.  This week will be a better week!

LW: 211

CW: 211

I didn't lose, but I didn't gain.  Total weight loss for 3 weeks is 6 lbs, so I'm on track.  I'll hope for a couple pound loss in the next week. 

LW: 240

CW:238

I'm down 2 lbs with .5 inches off of my waist and 2 inches off my hips. I've kicked up my exercise goals so I'm hoping to see better results next week.

 

We can do this!

Hi There,

Is there room for 1 more?  I've been logging my food and exercise for a month or so but I haven't ventured into the forums.  I live in Tucson if there is anyone in the area.

I'm 41, and have some similar stats:

5ft 4

Highest weight 258 (Jan 08)

Current Weight 227.5

Goal Weight 150.00

Absolutely and welcome! Congrats on the weight loss to date.  Looks like you are well on your way. It's been really nice to have other people to encourage you, to vent to, and in general just to talk to about the weight loss journey.  Good luck!

I'm 22, 5'10 and fluctuating between 240 and 235.  I started about a month ago and unfortunately did a very low calorie diet, lost about 5 pounds but haven't lost anything since.  Its been about 2 weeks I've been exercising regularly and trying not to go over 1600 calories, haven't lost anything but gonna stick with it =P  I hate everyone telling me "you COULD be a model, you have the height and face you just need to lose weight!"  Yah thanks for that.

Im 5'7 217 ponds this is the heaviest ive ever been, and need lots of support

my starting weight is 217 so I will weigh in on Monday Woohoo!!!!

Ahhh, it's late Monday night - first chance I've had at the computer:

SW on March 3rd = 212.5

Weight last Monday =192.5

Today CW=191.0 (-1.5 pounds)

Total pounds lost to date =21.5

Still a long way to go, though. Gosh I've been lurking around reading other posts for women about my height and there are so many out there on CC who are around 125 or so and just wanting to lose 5 pounds. Yikes, what's that aobut? I haven't weighed 125 since the 6th grade probably! I can't even imagine it at 5'8". I feel like I look better with the 20 pounds I've lost than I've looked in a long time. I'd still like to end up somewhere around 150; hope that's realistic. Gotta' lose the muffin top!

SW: 275

Last Week: 202.5

CW: 199.5

Goal Weight: 125

Total Weight Loss: 75.5

Lost 3 pounds this week!

I finally got under the 200's, just barely, but still, yeah! Must have lost my water weight from last week. Made it a smidge past the half way point. I think I did better this week because I've been trying to eat healthy too, before I was only counting calories, but not eating totally healthy. I'm glad I have my mom, she is super supportive and started eating healthy which made me want to eat better too.  Hope next week is as good, going to try to stay eating healthy food and snacks. Anyway, congrats to everyone this week.

Hi . I just got down to 198 lbs. I was 229 recently. I personlly started asking my doctor about weight loss kits and he told me about a real good one that was much cheaper in price compared to the leading ones out there. I guess some of us have problems counting calories and worrying about what to eat. I ended up trying it out and I'm pretty glad I did. I only looked into pre done meals lijke these because my doctor told me it was ok as long as the foods were real. lol. I got mine at a great price. www.PureFatBurning.com is where I got my wonderslim kits. It saved me so far. Lisa

Missed yesterday's weigh in; out of town, so I did it this morning. Pleasantly surprised since I was traveling this week and didn't exercise but once. I'm looking forward to getting back into my exercise routine this week now that I'm home.

5'9"

beginning 251

last week 235

Sorry I'm so late Ladies.

(4/7/08) STARTING WEIGHT: 252

Last Week: 235

This Week: 232

FIRST GOAL WEIGHT: 220 ( Hopefully by June 13)

ULTIMATE GOAL WEIGHT: 180

I'm down 3 lbs. this week. Feeling good.

cmommi76- you continue to amaze me! I apologize if I've asked this before but how many calories are you consuming each day? And what does a typical day of eating/exercise look like for you?  I am still struggling with losing even a couple of pounds....

Well, I had a good workout and feel really great today.  My scale was also kind to me, here is my checkin info:

SW-  258 (Jan 08)

CW - 226 

GW - 160's

So far I'm down about 2 lbs this week. 

 

I am 5'8", 226 lbs.

Start weight 262 in July 2006 went down to 224 in Dec 2006, went away for a while, went up to 241, started again end of February 2008 down to 226.

Motivation and accountablility really are key. I weigh on Fridays. My pattern is 2 weeks no weight loss, 2 weeks good weight loss, and so on. I'd like to break this cycle, but can't figure out how.

First goal 217 lb by end of June.
