25 pounds or less to lose...

Hey fellow losers,

I have a goal of losing about 23 pounds by Jan-Feb '08. I'm pretty new to this site and am just looking for some support/motivation. Anyone interested in starting a group with similar goals? thanks...

 Stats: Age: 26; Starting Weight: 158.8, CW: 156, GW: 133; Height 5'4"

 Monday weight in:

141.8 lbs

 A little weight gain 0.3 pounds.  I have been eating so BAD since Halloween but now it is over. So I am grateful for just that little gain!!!

We can do this!! 

Same here! 

I'm 5'9", 175 pounds.  GW = 153 (according to CC).  Current weight = 175

I've been doing this now for 4 weeks, lost 2 pounds the first week (yea!), but then gained it back the second week.  I haven't budged since. 

I eat between 1,400 and 1,600 cals a day (per CC).  I've been eating pretty healthy for a while, even before this site, so I knew my calories wouldn't be decreasing much.  My biggest issue is exercise.  I know I have to do it but don't have the motivation...............well, really I don't have the energy - and I know it's a viscious cycle.  I won't have the energy unless I exercise!  I'm all for a group for people like me.  Count me in.

Current weight: 145

Goal weight: 120

5'7" 

Age 17

frame: small

 

So i'm already at my calorie allowance for today, but hopefully I can run a little when my meal settles.  Homework, lite dinner, SLEEP! 

age : 17

#12 weighing in

#20

Weighed in at 157.3 lbs this morning.  I had a very bad fri, sat, sun (visit to my parent's), and it has taken me this long just to get rid of the water retension.  Hopeing to make some progress this week!

Hey everyone,

 I've been a little out of commission lately - I started a new job and have been crazy! So, I haven't weighed in or posted for last week or this week - sorry! I will weigh in next week on Wed. I've been avoiding the scale a bit since I started b/c I know my eating has been out of control. Back on track as of yesterday :)

Today's weight is 146.6.  I'm amazed I'm still losing, because I never have the time (or willpower) to go to the gym these days.  I guess walking to work (and hauling stuff around at work) is paying off more than I thought it would.

Btw, I don't have a set weigh-in day, so it's never an even week between my weights--hope nobody cares. 

#17 is down to 158lb. Slow, but better than nothing.

#14 checking in.  I haven't changed since my last post.  still 146.  I've had a really hard time recently motivating myself to work out and continue to eat healthy.  I'm halfway to my goal, and I don't want to stop now.  arg.. I'm so frustrated.

hey guys,

I am also wanting to loose 25 lbs. I am coming back to this site because a firend of mine had a coworker to use it and it has really worked. Right now I am focusing on my short term goal which is to loose 10 lbs by January 2008. I wish all of you the best of luck!!

CW 160

Goal 145

hi everyone, sorry for the delay in the updating... mybad... anyhoo. Ive been real lazy with logging my foods. (havent done it) but on the plus note, ive still been aware of my portion sizes and still been exerciseing regularly. I am happy to report im down to 149.8 today. and thats with Mothernature week kicking my butt!

So heres a toast to this upcomming week.  We all need to get on the ball and get with it if we want to survive Thanksgiving!

Heres an interesting fact to ponder. Your stomache can stretch up to 4 times its normal size when fully expanded. Overeating over long periods of time can make your stomache bigger, thus requireing more food to fill it up = more calories takin in.   You can also shrink the size of your stomache by eating less.   For a while there I was getting full off of kids meals.  LOL So lets all get our stomaches trained this week to need less food so we dont all binge on thanksgiving!

anyways my goal this week is to stay under 150. not really a weightloss goal, but its still a goal nonetheless.  Ive been up and down from 151-150 for the last 3 weeks, and i finally broke 149 today. YAY!

have a good week all!  

Monday weigh in:

139.9

YEAH... I am under 140 But I have also being doing TONS of cardio like 90 minutes a day. BUT I have been eating TOO many "sweets and bread" (my weakness), so this week I am going to do my BEST at not eating too much of that kind of stuff.

absterry, I was wonder where you were but I am glad that you are back and that you are doing good

Let keep working at it!! We can do this!!

#9 checking in.

Current weight: 134

9lbs to go!

Good luck to all!

I haven't been logging my foods in the past couple of days.  I have been careful of what I eat and how much I eat though.  I also haven't weighed myself.  This last week has been my week off from the gym.  I will start again tomorrow.  I did step on the scale this morning (first time in a week) and I now stand at 160.  Now that I gave my muscles a week off to rest and rebuild it is time to hit the gym hard again and hopefully I can continue to lose those inches.

#14 checking in, down to 144.5 today..

8.   littlebytes: 18.6 lbs to go!

• SW: 150
• CW: 145 - 144 - 145.5 - 143.6
• GW: 125

I'm pretty much stuck at the same range...was down to 142.2 last week but went back to the mid 140's again...will I ever get out of the 140's??

I have been lazy about counting calories and working out...so that is probably my problem. I need more time and motivation! 

Monday weigh in:

139.6

Not so good this week but the last 3 days I have been out to eat a 7 course  meal, tons of sweets and bread too. So I am glad that I am still under 140! I did see a lot lower weight before "my 3 days eating trip", so there is still hope in the future!!

 My goal for this week is to stay under 140 even after Thanksgiving dinner!

 We can do it!!
