Female 20's 50lb+ Group Motivation Club

Ok girls, we've had our first weigh in today July 30th.  Out of the 40 people that have said they wanted to join this group, only 7 of you haven't weighed in.  We are excited to hear about your success so please let us all know. 

Of the members who have weighed in - our cumulative group weight is 7,293 which means that if we all weighed the same we'd each weight 221lbs:-)

Get your pics up on your profiles so that we can see where you are.  We'll post a picture each month to show our progress.  Post your weight loss stats with Age, Height, Start Weight & Current Weight each Monday. 

We are 40 women strong, we will succeed!

good morning everyone!

I have been really busy so I haven't been able to catch up on here until this morning, I've loved reading everyone's backgrounds and interests. I'm almost 22 (a month from today yay)  and I live in Connecticut. I just graduated in May from college with a degree in Sociology, and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with that degree.  I am most likely going to be a high school teacher which means more school, but not full-time this year. I work at a clothing store, and I am going to be promoted to front-end supervisor (the registers and customer service) in about a month. It means I'll be busier, but I'm hoping it means I'll be too busy to snack mindlessly at home! In my free time I love to spend time with my family and friends. My friends and I go to the bar pretty much all the time which is bad for my diet, but I try to keep it to light beer or wine and not ordering food there, haha. That's all I can really think of right now (it's still early and I just got out the shower!).

Also, I feel the same way about being motivated this week! I haven't gotten to the gym ONCE which is terrible, especially considering I've eaten out just about every day. But reading everyone posts has definitely helped!

Well now that I feel like I've been writing forever...haha...I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!! Congrats to everyone who lost this week and keep up the good work!!

It's friday yay and officially my last day of work.  I'm takin a week off before I have to go back to school..............K i had a guyish problem yesterday and i feel really crappy about it so i'm gonna vent.............feel free to comment lol.  I have this like best friend guy and i kind of like him as more which im sure he knows but i just don't think he wants to go there.  Well i haven't seen him since july 4 th because we have both been working.............well last nite he called cause we were gonna go play frisbee well it was dark by the time he called so that was out..............well he start just chatting and he had called my cell phone.  So i was all let me call u on my house phone cause my dad got upset cause i went way over on air time last time.  He was all well that's all i wanted to say unless u wanta call me killa (that's what he calls me) it's ur decission.  And i was all no do u want me to call u back or no ...........and he's all whatever so we said bye and i didn't call him.  I was so mad cause he didn't wanta talk to me after all that time I mean Iwas even gonna call him it was idiot proof he didn't have to dial the phone or anything.  My mom said it just sounds like he was being a guy.  But I'm still upset what do u think???????

Guys are so flaky when they are young, and some of them never get any better :) I wouldn't take it personally.

Thanks cupid..............It's like I knew I shouldn't be upset because were just friends and everything but it's just I've missed him alot this summer and he didn't even hint that he missed me.  But that's it whatever i'm forgetting bout it lol SO thanks lol :)

Hello All. I know I'm late but I just joined CC yesterday. I'd love to have some friendly people to talk with. 

My stats are:

25 Female, Current Weight 209, Short term goal 180, Ultimate Goal 150

Did anyone else freak out the first time they wrote their number down? Holy Crap.

But i must admit it looks more manageable when i break it down into two goals the short term and ultimate

I never ever told anyone my number before CC george2007..........except for my family lol.............and that's even after I lost the 105 lbs..............so don't feel freaked out everyone is here to help.................Hey ur short term goal is my overall goal yay lol.

hi george!  welcome - i think you'll like it here  :)  it is a bit scarey when you see the number down (i personally never tell ANYONE, but it's a good first step!)

meg - sounds like there is something in the air with men these days...my husband is being a butthead this week.  and guess what...it doesn't matter how old they are (dh is 40!!)...he probably did miss you, but guys suck at expressing their feelings and emotions.  even if he considers you just a friend, i am sure he misses spending time with you too.  i agree with cupid...don't take it personally, I am sure it's not an issue with him!  just make sure you guys get together soon and catch up!

must go get something to eat!!! i'm starving!  (ok well, not starving per se, but REALLY hungry!)  i'm working from home today...getting caught up on laundry mountain...yay!

 

Hi George!
Meg, you should be so proud of yourself! Enjoy your week off!
Good luck with the laundry mountain Kernal!

You all have a fantastic weekend, and hopefully we all have an extra good Monday!

Hey kernal.............good to hear i'm not the only one having problems hope ur husband gets it together lol and good luck with the laundry.............I need to do mine too lol. 

Thanks for the warm welcome anyone.

I didn't think when chosing my user name and don't want people to get confused with the name george, (name of my cat!).  Does anyone k now how to change your user name?

George2007.........if u go to your profile which is up there under community there is  alink that says edit right next to your name..........click on it and all ur info should come up including ur display name just click in the box and delete it and retype what u want..............then scroll down and it should say something like save click on that and presto.............new display name lol tell me if u run into any problems i'm bored at work so i'll check back in lol.

Hi Megegen, Thanks for responding, I did what you said but it didn't change :( I put my display name as sweet-tooth but it still says george2007 i think. Any other ideas?

Thanks, and thank gods its friday

Hey george2007 it didn't work out I tried it and saw that it doesn't change that display name lol.............I think the only way to change it now is just to make a new profile.............but I mean u have the little pink human figure next to the name so people know ur female if they pay attention if u wanta just leave it the way it is.............You could ask a moderator if u want Idk if they can help out with that or not..........they are at the top of the forums list i believe...........anyways sorry i couldn't help out................and i so agree thank god it is friday lol

Meg

ugh...you guys....too many vodka and diet pepsi last night...feeling a bit fuzzy this morning/afternoon!  i was at a stag and doe last night...but the good news is, i managed to control myself around all the food (these darn italians and the food we have to eat all the time!!) and especially the sweets and cookies.  BUT, i did go a little overboard on the alcohol!  i still plan to get to my gym today...i have to meet my goal of going 3 times a week...so i'll have to suck it up and head out soon!

how is everyone else doing this weekend?

Thanks for your help Megegen.! Hope you are having a great weekend!

Hi Kernal

It's funny you mention that you were drinking a lot of diet pepsi and vdka lastnight becaues i was just talking about this wtih my girlfriend this morning.  We are planning on going to a club tonight and I would like to drink , but am not sure what has the least calories and i thought that drink would be the best.  Would you agree?

hi george!  sorry for the delay...it's been a hectic weekend!  how was your night out - did you girls have fun??

for me, the diet pepsi and vodka was better than what i would normally drink which is vodka and orange juice or vodka and cranberry.  i've actually decided it's my new drink of choice - i've been telling my girlfriends all about it and we think it's a good compromise.  i also found i am not as hung over (if i over indulge).  at least this way, this sis something i can sit down and have one or two drinks and not feel like i am wasting all the hard work for the rest of the week.

how was everyone elses weekend?

hi kernal, i actually passed on the club lastnight. I knew there would be heavy drinking and pizza and i didnt think i could control myself. THe cranberry vodka is one of my favs too!

Goodmorning all! I guess I'll start it off today since I'm at work butt-early...


last week: 188.6

Current week: 188

I was 187 Saturday morning, and then by boyfriend had asthma attacks all weekend and my water heater broke. :( Does stress make you retain water? I've been working so hard!

Hope everyone fares better than I have!
