Meduim-large build

This is where we can post to keep each other accountable! Let's have fun withthis:)

First off, I'm 21, 158, 5'3, medium-large, female.

I started trying to lose weight in January because I noticed that I was gaining more weight, I've had some concerns about my health due to my weight, and I am fed up with being fat!!

What about you?

Hi!  I'm Jenna!  I'm 19, soon to be 20, and I also 5'3 with a medium frame.  I weigh 160 right now, and when I came to college I weighed 135.  I started dating my boyfriend and eating out with him all the time, and gained weight.  My goal weight is 130 for now, but I think I might try to lose 5-10lbs more after that.  I want to lose weight because I am just not as confident as I used to be and I miss that!

When I got on this webiste, a little over a month ago, I didn't get serious about losing weight right away.  In about the last 2 weeks, I have gotten more serious with exercising and counting calories every day, and I have lost roughly 7lbs so far!  I'm really excited, but I know that some of that was water weight, and I won't always lose weight that quickly!  Anyway, I'll step down from the podium now.

Hello!! :)  I'm 5'3",
Medium frame,
21,
I'm also 160 right now
my goal weight is currently 134 but i have a feeling i'm gonna keep goin after that.  i really just wanna be able to wear a bikini and like it. haha :-P

Hello!
5'3"
148 pounds
29 y/o

My goal is to be 135 by July but hope to get down to 125 eventually. I started on this site last summer at 169 pounds. I have come a long way and I have a long way to go. I am VERY good encouraging others and I enjoy it so much. I truly love to help people reach their goals.

Good luck and let me know what I can do to help you.

Hi! How are my twins this morning:~)

I flaked of this morning and didn't ride my bike to work. The rain was a big turn off. I'll have to lift extra tonight. Forgot breakfast again. Dang! I know that's supposed to jumpstart your metabolism in the morning, but I never can remember till I'm late for work:) Tonight I'm going to post my measurements since I've found this is more of the incentive I need. I like looking at how many inches I've lost. My goal is 135, but I'd really like to be a size 8 when I'm all done. I wouldn't mind a size 6, but that seems like an unreachable goal since I haven't been that since I was 16.

Well, here's to a good day, and success at reaching our goals (drinks a cup of tea)

Now that it is the end of the day, I will say that I did very well. I had a breakfast bar (at 11:), half a sandwich and cup of soup for lunch, and I haven't eaten dinner yet. I haven't been very active today, so I don't have a huge deficit. I've found that I don't really have a problem eating. I'm not a big junkfood fan and I don't eat alot as a habit. Its just finding time to exercise and being motivated to do it!

I didn't eat so well today, but I definitely worked out a bit.  I did my DDR and also played softball.  We lost horribly, but that's okay cuz it's just a for fun thing for the school's intermural sports!  Still lots of fun, I miss playing softball all the time.  I played for like 7 or 8 years when I was younger.  Anyway, that's beside the point.  I kind of indulged today, but I'm alright with that, especially because I exercised more!  Overall, I think I had a pretty good day!

Hello fellow twins!

I am female, 21 years old, 5'3", 146 lbs. as of today, and I am going to be graduating from college in June. I'm hoping to drop ten more by graduation and eventually get down to 125 or 130. Just thought I would say hi!

PS What body type do you all have? I'm rather bottom heavy! I wear 8 on top and 12-14 on bottom.

I'm bottom heavy also. I didn't realize how bottom heavy I was til I got measured for my bridesmaid dress. 10 on top and 14 on the bottom!! I think dress sizes run bigger because I can now where a loose 12:) It used to be almost a 14 but I've lost a bit. YAY!

Hang in there lilyquist. Its ok to indulge every once in a while as long as you go back to normal the next day. It falls into the classification of zig zagging your calories. I find this helps to knock you off your platue. just make sure you go back to being good for the next week or so! I give myself one day a week that I can indulge.

I was planning on walking to work today, but my mom had to use my car to take the dog to get his shots:/ So, I'll drive home for lunch, have her bring me back to work, and then walk home tonight. I feel so bad now when I don't at least walk or bike! I'm feeling really good about my body right now though. I'm at the stage where I'm noticing that I'm looking toner. I like!!

Oh my goodness!  I'm SO excited to have found others like me!  I'm 21, female, 5'2" (most people here are a tad bit taller than I), 167 pounds (and a tab bit lighter too, lol), with a medium build.  My goal is to get down to about 130 pounds (maybe even 5-10 pounds less, but I know I have to learn to walk before I can run!).  Today (actually yesterday) officialy marks my first day of living a healthier life - I went to work out last night, but didn't start my calorie counting until today.  I've done pretty well, too!  I've never really been a big fan of junk food to begin with, but I DO LOVE my mom's cooking - which is LOADED with grease and fat... lol.  I'm done with my nonsense rambling, for now...

Thanks for your support, and reading my post... lol...

Welcome Nikki~Good luck on this journey!! I have been at this for about 9 months and it was definitely the BEST thing I ever did!!!! Let us know what we can do to help you along the way.

Hey Nikki! I saw you on the find your twin post and was going to invite you over here, but you beat me to it! Welcome:)

Hey all!! I'm 22, 164 lbs and medium build. And I'm VERY bottom heavy!!! I've got junk in the trunk!! And it's a seriously big trunk. I don't know what size my top is in numbers, but I wear size small/medium shirts....but my pants are a 14 and so far haven't dropped a single size after 15 pounds gone. Soooo frustrating!!!!

So I didn't do too hott today either!!!! :(  I will start again tomorrow though.  I am fairly well spread out as far as body type.  I've pretty much got the hourglass shape (maybe a little bigger hips than what I'd like), but I consider myself pretty lucky in that department.  I need to lose all over!  Anyway, back to the homework!

Aww... feifei and lilz, thank you SO much for making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... lol.  I feel like I finally found where I belong in my journey of living healthier!  It's almost like a sisterhood in here!

Anyway, I think I did okay yesterday.  I did really well throughout the day, watching what I was eating.  After work, I went to the gym and burned about 230 calories - 25 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the stationay bike.  I was sweating like a pig (too much info, huh?  I know, I'm sorry), but it felt SO SO good!  For dinner, I didn't do so well.  I caved to my mom's chicken tacos - BUT, I definitely did not eat as much as I usually do <~ so that's good, right?  Either way, I stayed below my net calories for the day!  *Yay me!*  Today is another day... and I can't wait to hit the gym later!

Thanks to everybody for being AMAZINGLY supportive!!!

What a gorgeous day today!! The sun is shining and I can't wait to go for a walk on my lunch break! It definately helps to have nice weather. I'm feeling so good right now! Hope everyone else is having a wonderful morning:~)

Um...guys, I think something is wrong with my scale. I just dropped 3 pounds to....155!!!I last weighed 2 days ago and was at 158. I did feel thinner today and tried on some clothes from 2 years ago that fit snug, but was able to get them to button. And then, this! I can't believe it:):)YAY!!

How could this be? I did put a 10lb weight on the scale to make sure that it was set right, and it was! I haven't seen this weight since last year:~)

^ Yipee!  Congrats lilz!  Gawsh... I can't wait til I get down to that wait too!!!  YAY FOR FRIDAYS!!! Lol...

congrat lilz!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I lost 2.2 pounds today!!!! It was amazing. I knew a loss was coming and it finally did it!!! YIPPEE!!!!
