HELP!!! I wanna lose weight!

BabyBlue91 · #1 03-09-2008, 10:02 AM

Great morning!

I am pleased to announce that this morning I was down 5.6, which put me over the top for reaching my goal weight. I was a little nervous going into WI because I encountered drama ALL day yesterday. The next six weeks will be a challenge, I'm sure, but I think I'm up to it.

I would like to thank everyone on this board for their support these last few years and hope to eventually meet all of you at the goal line!

I am leaving shortly to donate platelets today but wanted to share the good news. Happy Sunday!

Total weight loss: 159 lbs on WW, 171 lbs overall

I read your blog (and most of your website) BabyBlue and it really inspired me. It's really starting to hit me that I have to work on this as a way of life and not just, "I want to go back to weighing what I did at 19".

Congrats on your goal!!

BabyBlue, I'm so proud of you. I swear you and Ideal keep me motivated every time I view this thread.

Well, I haven't worked out in two weeks, but I'm still losing weight. I've given up meat for a month (a fast that I'm doing with the church), and the results are crazy. The pounds are coming off and my clothes are getting looser and looser. I'm hitting the gym hard again next week.

Stay encouraged ladies! We can do it, but it takes tenacity and consistency.

A. It's about time to start getting fit for summer (well maybe past time).

B. Having been sick for a while, I haven't been to the gym for about 6 months, and I am now cleared by my doctor to get back into the gym and whip myself into shape.

C.I don't actually want to lose weight, just be healthy and fit- a goal that I think everybody on this thread shares (making it better than 90% of the internet- yay for no anorexics!).

D. Because this thread was always the BEST at helping motivate me, and I hope others.

How are folks doing?

Well, I am on a quest to reinvent myself, so I am about to kick my weight loss efforts back into high gear. With the help of the treadmill, the outdoor track, DVDs, and Extreme Fat Smash, I am trying to do it big (or do it small!

)

It's time to REALLY lose this weight baby!

I have gotten complacent... I became very comfortable with reaching my WW lifetime goal and started drifting back to some of my old habits (sitting around too much and eating way too much fast food)...

But after gaining 8 lbs - I'm back to being focused. I want to lose 6 of the 8 lbs. that I gained and then I want to maintain. I restarted my aerobics class at the gym, I'm sticking to my WW daily point allowance, drinking H2O, and doing 160 crunches every day. I also just purchased one of those stomach belts to see if that will help to tighten the midsection...

My goal for the next month is to drop those lbs. and tone up...
Summer is fast approaching!

Yay! I'm glad this thread was bumped. I'm keeping everyone here in my thoughts so that you reach your goals! I'm doing two aerobics/cardio classes a day, 3x a week, in addition to riding my bike 10 miles a day twice a week. I've already lost an inch in my waist! I don't know my weight but I don't care about that so much as I want to tone up and lose inches in my waist/hips/bust.

I'm rooting for everyone!

** Wow GodlyAspiringDr, I need to do 160 crunches a day too!

I must confess that after my april post I have not lost any weight!!!!

However, I decided that I needed to be more active. So for the last 3 weeks I've been going to the gym every day and working out for 40 minutes, in addition to doing a 10 minute warm up (160 crunches, 100 jumping jacks, 50 squats, 50 push ups). And as of this week, I cut my calorie intake so that I can drop some pounds (back into the WW counting points mode). I will weigh myself next week and I expect to see some progress (i.e., inch and pound reduction)

Stay encouraged everyone... We can do this!!!!
