If you started this about a week ago, I'd like to start a weight loss group

Hi, I started CC on the 18th. I haven't lost anything yet but my goal is 25lbs. I am 5'10" and currently 180lbs, I'd like to be around 155lbs before June. Would anyone like to join my group so we can help each other stay motivated???

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!!!

2lbs in 2 weeks, yuck! Oh well, I'll keep on truckin' anyway :-)Congrats to everyone!!!

shea- You have nothing to be embarrassed about!  You are doing exactly what you should be which is 1-2 lbs. per week.  That is the safest way to go about this whole weight loss thing and you are right on track!

I think I may be losing too fast, but I havent been active since my son was born, and didnt watch what i ate -- at all.  I was 205 right beforeI gave birth 19 months ago and have been stuck at 190 since my hospital discharge.  I wake up everymorning now, and share a bowl of oatmeal with my son, and then we go on a 2-4 mile walk, then he comes home for a nap and I do pilates with an exercise ball.  I also stopped drinking alcohol, which was 4-6 drinks a night for me before.

 

I suppose its making major lifestyle changes that I REALLY needed to make.

Giving up alcohol definately makes a huge difference. I drank wine most nights before i got pregnant for my son and weighed in at 201lbs, which was my heaviest ever weight. I stopped drinking completely when i found out and the day after his birth i weighed in at 172!! I was so thrilled but slowly allowed a bottle or two of wine a week back into my diet and i crept back up to 182, which was my start weight on here. Now i intend to save it for special occaisions only!!

Shea - Renee is right, you have absolutely nothing to feel badly about.  You're doing great and losing at a rate which is healthy.  Rock on girl!  :)  You and I are at just about the same weight right now.  I'm 178.4, but you have me beat by .4 lbs.!  :)  Can't wait to get down to 170 and then the 160's...

Great job everyone!!  :)

Thanks for the support guys. I feel a lot better now! :-)

Hi everyone;

I hurt my back last week - haven't check in in awhile. I GAINED!!! Oh man - what a bummer. But I kind of thought it was going to happen because not only have I been unable to exercise, I've pretty much been confined to the couch...my husband has been picking up pizza and fast food. I was at least hoping to stay the same though. I gained 1.4 lbs. Niiice.

Oh well - I'm feeling better now - back a square one but really going to work hard this week and hopefully see some improvement!

Congrats everyone for all of the weight you've lost!!!

How is everyone's week going???

Glad your're feeling better sparker, that gain will disappear in no time

love clare xx

 

Glad you're feeling better Sparker!  Mmmmm pizza, that sounds soooo good right now.  It's been a busy day and I'm starving!  Only had time to eat about 500 calories the whole day so far!  It's been very busy at work the last few days and I've been working my butt off!  Stressful week.  My bird has been sick and I've had to take her to the vet a couple of times too.  Sigh.  Spent a lot of money on that, but I'm busy at work right now, so I guess I'm making up some of my costs.  :)  Hope everyone else's week is going well!

Karey 

Glad to hear from you Sparker.  I was wondering what happened to ya.  Sorry to hear about your back.   That sucks when something like that sets you back.  That's how I always end up falling off the wagon - I get sick, an injury, a kid is sick, etc.  Anything to derail my routine.  Anyway, get back on track and you'll do fine.  Good luck this week!

Glad you are back Sparker!  Sorry to hear about your back !!  1.4 lbs is probably just water weight from eating takeout :)    Really glad that you are feeling better!

Clare - Week is going awful!  I got something on my feet that caused a severe allergic reaction so I can barely walk!  I'm taking Prednisone, which is kicking my appetite in to high gear, plus I cant do my daily walks!  My son is getting cabin fever because we can't go out of the house much till daddy gets home.  It's fun playing with him tho- we are learning our letters! How are you doing?

 

Karey- Sorry to hear about your bird.  I hope she will be ok.  What kind of bird is she?

 

And a great big hello and positive energy to everyone else!

I'm not doing to bad, really active until today! I only managed a short walk and am just feeling really tired. My period is due next wk, and i always get extra tired just before. I'm feeling a little hungrier than  usual too, but i've bought a ton of fruit and will try to snack on that if i need to. Trying to stay postive but period week always messes me up a bit!

Sorry to hear about your foot! I read your journal entry!!

Hope your back on your feet soon!!!

Hi to everyone!!!

Slenderbutts - Thanks!  She's a cockatiel, yellow with orange "cheeks".  She's an old girl, around 12 yrs. old.  Took her to the vet again today for a recheck and they said she's doing much better.  :)  She's much spunkier today too, bit me when I tried to get her out and made me bleed a tiny bit.  Little stinker.

I'm sorry to hear about your foot!  I hope it gets better soon and you can get outside.  Hopefully you can take advantage of it and relax and take it easy some.  :)
