180's club

I am in the midst of a 188 to a 160/150 jump right now!! I NEED motivation!!! Let's do it!

I'm happy to finally be in the 180's. Been a long road and I still have a ways to go. Was tough over the holidays, crept back up to the 190's, but now I'm back.

Hi all,

Back at the gym before work this morning - hurrah! Felt good, going to try and do the same tmorrow.

My alcohol ban of last week didnt work - but I am tyring again this week - no booze until Friday. Wish me luck...!

Hello to lshelto and jinxozzie.

Hey!  I've lost 3.2 lbs this week!  I'm so happy! 

Hello to the newbies!  Good luck!

I'm really motivated and dedicated to losing the rest of this weight.  I want to see my goal weight on the scale soon. 

Hey girls.

Well I cxl'd my gym membership.  It just wasn't working out.  I am at work too much. Soooooooooo I bought a treadmill!  It just came the other day.  I'm so excited.

Now when I get home from work I change into my gear and do a quick  20/30min  run before dinner. 

I hope this helps kick start me back into shape.  I really haven't been doing good the last month or so.  I went from 157 back up to 167 and am now back down to 161.  GGRRR!

I am back in that stage where I am hungry ALL THE TIME.  All I want to do is eat, all I think about is what to eat next.  I hate it.

Hey canuck!  That is what I am afraid of with a gym membership, that it will go to waste.  I wish I had money/room for a treadmill or elliptical.  I really think I would use it if I could watch a movie or something while I was doing it.  I know you are frustrated with the gain, I gained over the holidays too.  The good thing about being hungry is that it means your metabolism is going!  That is how I look at it anyway.  When my stomach rumbles I say to myself....Yay!  I am burning fat!  LOL

Hang in there, you know it will get better!!

I am currently at 172.5, and I joined a ST. Pats day challenge.  I really reallyy want to be in the 60's!!!!

Hello, I am 32 yrs. old and a mother of 4 children, 3 boys and 1 girl (ages 14, 6, 5 and 2)!! I actually signed on way back in September, I lost a total of 4 lbs. then I had a minor surgical procedure and just kinda' quit. Sigh........ I am 5ft. 5in. and I currently weigh 179 lbs. (YIKES)!!!! I weigh more right now than when I gave birth to my first 2 children (OMG). Today is day #12 of my new lifestyle change and I'm feeling pretty good about sticking with it this time. My husband is doing this with me and we are weighing in on Tuesdays with the Biggest Loser (love that show). Last Tuesday was our first weigh in (my husband lost 6 lbs.) and then there was me (-0 lbs. Ughhh...). It was very dissapointing. But...I'm not going to give up this time!!! I got back on this site yesterday and looked up how many calories I was supposed to be eating every day and found out that I wasn't eating enough (hmmm....who would've thought). So I am now going to try and stick to the calories this site says I should be eating. Maybe that is the reason I didn't lose anything last week??? I have been going to the gym every other day since we started but, I've got to tell ya ( going to the gym is for me the hardest part). At this point I absolutely 100% have to force myself to go, and when I get there I have to force myself through the CARDIO!!!! I don't mind the weights but DAMN that CARDIO, LOL!!!!! I'm not sure when it's suppossed to become fun/habit but hopefully it will be soon because this is my downfall every time. Any suggestions for motivation to workout?? Anyway, that's about it for now. Hi again to everyone and thanx for listening!!

Starting Weight= 179lbs.

Goal Weight= 135lbs.

Welcome everyone who is new! Don't get disappointed that everything has been quiet...it is a good group and great support!

I started CC about a year ago and was on/off diets throughout the year.  In August I started again at 190 and am now at 172.  Slowly but surely I am losing!  I have a hard time working out too.  No gym membership, and I just can't get the motivation to workout at home.

Hi all!

Haven't been on for a few days - due to the shame of my eating over the weekend. It was my partners bday - and we had a party friday, and dinner out on saturday - plus lots of wine and fizz! whoops!

Anyway, made an attempt to swim yesterday - but it was more like floating due to the overindulgence. Oh well - gym tomorrow and back on the alcohol ban.

Hope you're all having a good monday.

LadyEliz - stick with it - you're doing well :-)

Hello!

I weighed in today and I've lost what I gained early last week and I'm back to what I weighed last monday....171.2

I'm looking forward to next weeks weigh in!  I had one day last week when I ate up to 1900 calories and I think that helped me out alot.  So tomorrow is my big calorie day so my weight has a chance to adjust before Monday. 

Wish me luck!

Halfway through the week and doing good!  It's so cold here!  How is everyone else making out??

Hey all,

I am being really good so far this week - keeping aways from all cakes and alcohol. My gym is running an inch loss club class tonight which I am going to brave - really don't want to get weighed though - I would be mortified in front of all the other people! had a quick peak at my own scales, def put on around 6lbs over xmas period :-(

Just hope it'll come off as quick!

Have a good day! I'll update you on my inch loss experience.

how are you all getting on?

Hello everyone,

Yesterday was my weigh in day and I lost 5 lbs.!!!! Only 40 more to go........ It's a small piece of the bigger (or maybe smaller picture) ha,ha,ha. Anyway, I am now 174 lbs., it has been close to 3 yrs. since I've been below 180, it feels good.  Logging onto this site and counting my calories have really been helping me!!!

By the way....did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night? I still cannot believe that they let Joelle stay?? WTF?? Something is seriously wrong with that chick. I think maybe she snuck a few too many Valium up in there or something?? I dunno' she doesn't even want to be there (I feel bad for her friend Carla who is at home counting on her and working so hard). Maybe when Carla gets back it will be the motivation/get up and go that Joelle needs, we'll see.

Hey all

When to my class - they did weigh me - and i'm heavier than my scales said:
188 :-( however, they did said my eating is pretty good, so hopefully if I blitz the gym more I should get somewhere. I weigh in again in two weeks - I have got to be lower than that by then....!!

Don't sweat it too much Newlook!  Are you staying off the scale for 2 weeks? Great job mommyx4!  Sorry, I don't watch Biggest loser.  My husband won't watch it at all!

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this site so though I'd find some groups for support.

I'm a student and a year abroad living in Paris and Cadiz in spain has made me gain about 28 pounds. Too much cheese, wine and tapas. I've started eating chicken and turkey as my nutrition obsessed flat mate suggested that lean protein would be beneficial. I want to lose the extra weight plus at least another 21 pounds.

I'm enjoying eating healthily and although at the moment I have exams I will be getting back to the gym this weekend. My main vice however is alcohol. As a student much of our socialising involves drinking and I feel I should cut down on this to maximise my weight loss. I haven't had any now for 2 weeks but that is because I've stayed in studying. Any suggestions on how to say no to that extra glass of wine or shot? I'm not sure my will power is strong enough to let me stay completely sober whilst everyone else is drinking. I have a party coming up on saturday and don't want it to ruin all my good work this week.

Hi all,

Coco212 -Alcohol is a big issue for me too. I am trying to stay off it now until special occasions.  good luck at the party - I am going out with friends tonight and am plannig to say no to wine. It'll be a frist. But know I'll be really pleased if I can. Then I wont feel hung over and can do the gym in the morning. let us knwo how you get on!

Am def back into gym routine - when last two monrings before work! Yeah me! Have started doing weights again - and really feeling in in my arms and legs. Got to do it though - really hope something will happen on the scale but am goin gto give it a week. Thansk for your support LadyEliz!

Have a good day all.

Hey everyone!  I lost a pound this week!  I am now at 171.5.  Soooo proud of myself.  I really want to be in the 60's though!  Great job for everyones efforts this week!  I know I haven't been here too much, but I think about and support you all!
