Motivation	Girls in their 20's who want to lose about 100 pounds	Mar 25 2011 17:02 (UTC)	1,227
Hi All, Wanted to say that I DID get this other job that I interviewed for. I'm very exited, but can't shake this nasty cold I have. Have only made it to the gym twice this week and they weren't even all that good of workouts. Also...(and this is a confession) I've had fast food FOUR days this week already. I'm kinda disapointed in myself, but since I haven't been feeling well I haven't been planning my meals out the way I normally do. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning and I'm going to be quite honest and say that I'm actually scared. I haven't seen the scale stay the same (or go up for that matter) in a while. I think that I'd be really bummed if it did.

Kathryn: The interview went well...I know that they really like me, but they're concerned that I won't be able to commit. I already have a full time job, and they're looking for a full timer too, but think that I won't be able to do both. Its working as a coordinator for an animal rescue organization whose starting a special project to fix stray and feral cats in an area thats overrun with. It's perfect for me...I'll let you know when I hear either way though. fufu: Proporcionate is a good word for it. Now, lets just hope that as I lose weight, I stay proporcionate too. Don't know what to have for lunch. Still a little wound up from the interview.

Morning! Thank you to everyone who's welcomed me. I feel like I'm part of this group already! elf: It sounds like me too. I can plan everything out M-F, but when it comes to the weekend, everything goes out the window. I was stuck at 217 for almost a month, but just keep at it, and you'll get through this plateu. dutchess: Thanks for the encouragement. I made it to the gym this morning, but didn't push myself past a 6 or 7. shapie: Don't be discouraged! Blah days happen. As long as you overestimate your calories instead of underestimate, you'll be fine. hanna: Thanks for understanding. When I tell people they seriously don't believe me on my weight. When I was 15, I was so skinny - like a junior's size 5 or 7 and I seriously weighed like 160 pounds. That's one of the reason's why I don't think that I'd ever be able to be smaller than 150 without looking sick. Plus I'm Mexican, and my boyfriend likes some junk in the trunk . I have a job interview today for a job that I really, really want. I'm nervous but still made myself eat breakfast. I do so much better throughout the day if I can get at least 300 calories in in the morning. Lets hope I don't puke during the interview.

Hi All! I wanted to post on here cuz I've been lurking for a few days. I love how you guys are so supportive of each other and I know that I could sure use some of the love going around here. Just a little back ground on me. I live in Southern CA - LA specifically. I'm 22 and started gaining weight when I was 16. I topped off last year at 247 pounds. I'm 5'7" so that's just about 100 pounds overweight. I started working out and watching what I ate last year in June. I slowly dropped weight to 217 by December and regained to 225 by January. In January I found CC and joined. There are days that I'm really good about tracking, and others that I conveniently "forget" to log my food. I used to weigh myself every day and then it started to take over my life so I've made myself stop and do it just once a week. I do it Saturday mornings and my last weigh in was at 203. Ive lost 22 pounds since January so that's very exiting. I haven't been under 200 pounds in a long, long time. So the reason why I'm here is because people who see me, don't think that I weigh as much as I do. It's hard for people in my life to be supportive when I say that I want to lose another 50 pounds because...well who knows why really. I was really motivated when I steped on the scale last week, but have since gotten this horrible cold that's left me very conjested so I haven't worked on since Sat. I'm trying to not be too hard on myself, but I was looking forward to that number dropping again, and I just don't think its going to happen. I'm exited to be here and look forward to getting to know all you gals!

Jessica Biel is actually my celebrity body that I love too! People think I'm crazy, but when I'm feeling down, I'll put her picture when she was on the cover of GQ on my phone just because she has an AMAZING shape. She's healthy looking and muscular with an amazing butt.
Weight Loss	Obese, eating 1,400 calories a day	Mar 18 2011 18:04 (UTC)	2
Hi there, I'm 5'7" so I'm only one inch taller than you. I'm also 22 so were prety close. When I started in June 2010, I was 247. It took me 6 months to lose those first 30 pounds and I stalled at 217 for practically a month. Since Jan of this year I'm down to 205 and can FINALLY start to see a difference in my body. (and so can everyone else for that matter). In all, I would say don't think that you'll see a huge difference. I agree that if you drastically cut to 1400 calories (which is what I try to stay around) you might go into a little starvation mode, expecially if you were eating way more than that before. I'm a big believer in altering your days (like eating around 1200 one day and then upping to 1600 when you have a big workout). I think it tricks your bady a little.
Motivation	Minor Triumphs: Let's Share	Mar 18 2011 16:13 (UTC)	50
Thanks for this amazing post! When I first decided that I needed to do something about my weight was in June 2010. I'm 5'7" and I weighed 247 punds - more than I ever had. I was depressed and finally decided that I needed to do something. By working out I got down to 217 in 6 months. I regained some weight during the holidays and was at 225. In January I found this website and started logging my food. Since my last weigh in last Friday I'm down to 205. Only 5 more pounds until I make to one-derland!! The smallest I have ever been my adult life was 190 so I have full confidence that I can make it soon. In terms of small goals - Cleaning out my closet of anything bigger than a size 14 and realizing how much more space I have! Big clothes takes up a lot of space. Realizing that all I've been wearing are my 12's because even my 14's look ridiculously loose on me. Looking at my face and seeing that I have defenition in my chin. Goodbye to neck and face jiggle. Lying in bed in the morning and feeling my newfound hip and rib bones. They sure are sexy. Running - not walking - 2 miles in 21 minutes. Nonstop. Getting looks of awe from my coworkers who see me make a large salad for lunch everyday instead of going out and eating junk (like them). Walking up to my sister at Costco and have her almost not recognize me cuz my stomach is finally catching up to my legs. Being able to take a bite of something (like a Costco churro) and not have to eat the whole thing. Just a bite to get the taste and that's it. Knowing that reaching my birthday goal of 190 by April 18th is not only a crazy dream, but something that I can accomplish through hard work and determination. Thanks again for such a positive thread!
