age: 22
height: 5'6"
date started cc: Jan 20th, 2007
starting weight: 146
current weight: 137
goal wieght: 123 - 125

daily caloric intake: 1500 - 1600
exercise: I walk....a lot.

notes for friends: Walk straight and sit up straight, you'll feel and look more confident, besides, "slouching" adds 10 lbs to your appearance. Pace yourself through your meal, taking small bites and chewing thoroughly, focusing on the flavors. Drink at least 10 glasses of water daily. Follow the 20 minute rule - wait 20 mins before you get that second helping, or dessert. Last but not least, if you're like me and your weight fluctuates 3-4 lbs daily due to drinking lots of water, you must weigh yourself at the same time every day, under the same conditions (e.g., first thing in the morning, before going to the bathroom or before drinking or eating anything). It gives you the most accurate picture of how much weight you're losing.

starting weight: 153.5
current weight: 148.8

notes for friends: I started my weight loss when I weighted 180. I just change the way I was eating and went down to 140 without lots of exercise. Now I need to move because I'm at a plateau and gained a little. My eating is habits are so good, a dietetician (sp) would be jealous!

starting weight: 155
current weight: 144.5
goal wieght: 125

daily caloric intake: 1300-1600 cals sometimes more.


exercise: Stationary bike and dancing. I'm going to start tae bo again soon.

notes for friends: When I first started here, I thought I needed to stay at 1200 calories. That didn't work, and I hit a plateau before I really started to lose weight. Once I upped my calories the weight started to come off.

I'm a college student, and very stressed right now, so my weight loss has slowed.

 I'm just trying to get healthier, and lose some more weight before October because I'm going to be in a wedding.

So far I went from a size 12 in jeans, down to a size 8. That is probably what I'm most proud of. I can finally see my hard work paying off.

notes for friends: Don't expect to lose weight steadily, your weight will go up and down often, but as long as you see a gradual decline you're on the right track. 

Don't deprive yourself, try to fit in a treat every day so you feel satisfied, there are healthier options out there without having to sacrifice taste.

Try to fit in some activity in your day, even if it's just a 30 minute walk.  Everything helps to boost your metabolism and it will make you feel good.
