Hello everyone. I'm 16, 150lbs and looking to be around 130. I've only lost 2 or 3 pounds since I started at the beginning of February, and I've managed to figure out where my greatest downfalls are. From when I get home to after dinner is my greatest problem time - I always end up snacking on something I shouldn't, whether it's chocolate, a cookie, chips, or just leftovers from dinner. I need someone to give me some pointers to help me through this rough spot and make it better, or smack me on the wrist enough times until I get it!!! I'm also trying to exercise more. I try to do Wii Fit every day for 30 minutes, and I have a martial arts class twice a week for about 2 hours, but I still don't feel that this is enough - the Wii Fit is fairly low intensity, and I'm hoping to up my time to an hour a day at least. However, this is not a primary goal right now because of school and extra-curricular classes getting in the way!!! When I can I will, but what I'd really like is to watch my calorie intake better. I've been keeping a food diary for about a month now, but simply writing down what I'm eating isn't helping me stay on track - I still swoon under the mighty cookie's magical powers. I also estimate on my calories to try and cut down, because of my waning willpower. I don't think that continuing this way will lose me much more weight, and I would really like it off. So please, anybody out there who wants an acountabillibuddy!!! I can only contact through the internet, here, or through e-mail, or elsewhere. I don't IM and I don't text. So, is anybody at all interested? |

Hello! I would love to be your diet buddy :) I'm 19 years old and I weigh 155 pounds and I'm 5'4. I'm hoping to get down to 125 so I think we have about the same goals in mind! |

Hello Grace!!!! I'm looking forward to our journey ahead!  So, would you like to continue in this topic? I could ask for the title to be changed, or we can start a new one. |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
Hey! I'm fine with this title unless you want to change it. I'm so excited for both of us and the weight we'll lose together :). I haven't weighed myself yet for today but when I do I'll post, I'm hoping for 154! So what types of things do you do to lose weight? Any particular foods or exercises? For me I try to go the gym at least 3 or 4 times a week and try not to eat after 7pm (it can be hard!) HAHA! |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Haha, I'm excited too!!! This morning when I weighed myself I was at 149, and at the hockey game tonight I will be walking between periods, as I haven't been doing much else today!!! No particular foods as of yet - I'm just trying to encourage myself to eat more veggies and fruits, and limit the meat and breads. My biggest downfall is that I don't watch my pasta portions - just one portion is so small!!! I love going for walks around here, it's so beatiful where I live, but I haven't been doing so lately because it's so cold out! When the snow melts I will also be helping my mom break in some horses, so that should help with my exercise. I try to do my Wii Fit everyday and my martial arts twice a week, but I would like to replace the Wii Fit with other outdoor activities because they interest me more (I'm just waiting for spring first!!!). Sooo.... yeah, I will be trying to increase my exercise up to an hour, and changing it to other things than my low intensity Wii Fit. :)  Here's to both of us!!! |

Well I'm 154.2 today! This makes me happy :) I'm trying to eat more raw fruits and veggies too except I'm not a huge fan but I really like apples so I've been trying to eat at least one a day. I've been going to the gym everyday too because I'm on spring break for 2 weeks but then once school starts again it gets very hectic. That's so cool, you have horses?! Today it's about 65 so it really feels like spring and the snow is starting to melt (YAY!) I can't wait to go running, OUTSIDE! Hope you're having a good healthy day :) |

Hello Grace! Ah, it's so nice that it's the weekend. Only it looks like it's going to be winter here a little longer, as it's snowing outside!!! Oh well, usually it's warmer outside when it's snowing anyway. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who is rushing around with school! It's hard for me to get in my exercise with my classes. I don't get spring break for another week yet - it will be a welcome change of pace.  My mom runs an Egyptian Arabian breeding farm here, and we also board horses. My mom's a horse nut, so I've always grown up with them around - I was riding on the back of a horse before I learned to walk!!! Once the snow melts, we will be weaning a foal, getting a new brood mare, and breaking three horses. That should keep my busy enough! I'm also going to start a garden as soon as I can. Today hasn't been the best nutritionally wise, but I also haven't overeaten too much so... that just means that there is less temptation in the house now.  |

Arrgh... I fell off of the wagon BIG TIME today.  Too much junk food resides in our house. Le sigh...I danced this morning for about a half hour, and I will do so again later tonight to try and lessen the damage a bit... |
|||||||

Grace915 Senior Member

aw thats okay! It happens to me sometimes too. :/ and your mom is officially the coolest mom for the awesome job that she has!! okay, so my stats for the week: Calories Consumed: 10,965 (approx.) Hours of Cardio: 3 hrs. 35 minutes Weight Loss: 1.4 pounds So for some reason I was 155 today even though I was 154 yesterday, i think it's because I weighed myself 2 hours earlier than I usually do so I should still be 154. HAHA. I wish you best of luck for healthy eating tomorrow!! I'm hanging out with some friends and we're going out to eat so I'm going to have to resist the temptation! |
|||||||

Grace915 Senior Member

153! I went down a pound and a half from yesterday, so strange! I've been going to the gym everyday now and I already feel better about myself:) How are you doing? |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Ah - yesterday was good eating-wise, just not so good otherwise! Sorry for not making it here yesterday. Here's my food diary for yesterday: Banana, flavoured water, part of a red pepper, apple, pear, granola bar, orange, milk, piece of pie, crackers, and a V8. All told, around 1100 calories. All because I forgot my lunch. :/ I was hungry all yesterday! I've danced (DDR :) ) the last two mornings for 15 minutes. I find it wakes me up quite efficeintly, so I'll continue with that habit! I had my martial arts last night, and tonight I will lift weights. And CONGRATS on the pound and a half loss!!! You're doing great! |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
I love DDR! I haven't played that game in SO long though. I think I have it in my basement. HAHA, I'm gonna look for it today! AND congrats on your eating! I was pretty good for the whole day and then at night I needed a chocolate fix but when I weighed myself this morning I still went down a 1/2 pound! I'm going to try to eat more fruit and veggies today since I've been lacking in that department. |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Well it says I've gained a pound this morning. :( Oh well, just means I have to work harder! Today for lunch I'm bringing more veggies and less other stuff as well, because the breads/grains are the culprit I think! I just never notice that I'm eating more of them than I should. Here's to another healthy day! |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
Breads are the worst for me too! I try eating Thomas Whole wheat english muffins - their only 100 calories. So I'm at 151! Almost past the 150 hump. AH! I'm meeting with friends today so it's going to be hard day for me. It's always hardest when you're with others, or at least for me anyways! Hope you're doing well :) |
|||||||

Hiya Grace. Today was not a great day. :( I was doing pretty well, but when we went to the hockey game tonight I had a grilled sandwich (at least better than a burger), onion rings, and ice cream. The ice cream was heavenly though because I haven't had it in a while. :) This morning I was down to 149 - yay! So, how did your day go? Was it as hard as you thought it would be with your friends? (And YAY spring break is here!!!!) |
|||||||

Heya Grace! Been running around all over the place during Spring Break. Today I'm finally back on track with my eating habits I think. I got a yoga ball yesterday, so hopefully that will motivate me to do some more exercises as well! My weight has really not changed at all - the last time I checked it was still 149. Here's to a healthy day! |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member

HEY!! Sorry for my absence - I had midterms this whole week and it was SOO stressful. I haven't weighed myself in a week but I think I went up a couple of pounds because I overeat when I'm stressed. :0 I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and let you know. I'm glad you're having healthy days :) :) |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
...I have been emotionally eating for the last 2 - 3 weeks, and weighing myself right now produced a result of 157. I really feel like a failure right now....hope you're doing well, and hope your midterms went well too. |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
NOO, please don't feel like a failure!! I've been stress eating for the past couple of days because I've been apartment searching and it is SO stressful! I haven't weighed myself in a couple days but I think I'm at 154. Let's have fresh starts together. :) :) |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
...Okay! Maybe it's just the end of winter blahs. Spring is around the corner here (and hiding well), which means a fresh start after all. So today I will start over again! Thank you Grace. :) So this morning, I will have some grapes and maybe an apple for breakfast, as well as my magnesium-in-water health concoction thing. Here's to a new start!! :) |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
Yes! :) Okay so I finally weighed myself today - it's been about 2 weeks and I'm exactly 155. I thought I would weigh more so I'm not terribly disappointed. Anyways I made a plan last night that should work and this morning I had Go Lean cereal which should keep me full until lunch. Hope you're doing well!! |
|||||||

KokoKiero New Member

Heya Grace! Hope you're doing well. :) School's being quite stressful right now, but I feel a lot better today. I got a diet book and took a 5 day assessment - it really opened my eyes to just how much junk I eat! So now I feel better, knowing what I do eat, and how much better I will feel when I change it! Today was very good - mostly fruit and vegetables. I feel much better now than I do when I eat junk food - I think I'll write that down and put it somewhere to remind myself of this feeling when I get a craving! Here's to our healthy changing! |

Hi I Wish I Was Me (Love your username!). Sure you can join us - the more the merrier! Today has been a very good day - been resisting the pulls of the junk, and instead had a nice healthy breakfast that included mostly veggies. Feeling good so far - yesterday was a huge accomplishment, I actually resisted pizza! (le gasp) That was a HUGE move for me. Hope you're both doing well - here's to another healthy day! |

Hey Yay i am so happy that you have allowed me to join i so needed this thanks a million. Ya i thought my user name was very apt for me. Glad you had a healthy day!

Welcome!! I lost 1 pound since Tuesday but today I had a muffin and a slice of pizza (I could resist the urge...!!) HAHA, so I'm expecting to go up a little but I'll be back on track tomorrow for sure :) AND I'm so happy to hear that you are eating so well, it's going to motivate me more now!!! HAPPY eating :) |

hey gracie Congrats on one pound down!!! Yay lucky u! I think i will weigh myself again on monday. will post. |

|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
thanks!! Where are you from? I live in New York City and today was the most beautiful day of the year so I spent a couple of hours in Central Park walking around so I got lots of exercise and had fun while doing it! I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning as well. Hope you both are having happy healthy days :) |
|||||||
|
I Wish I Was Me New Member
|
Hi Well I am From South Africa. Wow you took a walk in central park that must have been fun. You so lucky, I have not been able to work out for about a month now, but today hopefully, I will walk at least 6km's. I also weighed myself and i haven't gained or lost weight just maintained it, well i am happy with that because its not like i tried to lose any weight, but as from today, i will start my plan. Well hope you guys r doing well ...have fun! |
|||||||

Hey, glad to hear that you are both doing well! Haven't weighed myself in a while, should probably do so later today. Yesterday I was doing really well, but couldn't resist some nachos, and my mom made hamburgers for dinner (though I didn't overeat on all the goodies - too much - so that has to count for something, right? :)) Oh, and belated congrats on that pound Grace!  |
|||||||

I Wish I Was Me New Member

hi Hope you guys are good. I thought I should post because no one else has. hahaha. Hows the weight loss going? i haven't actually done much to lose weight these past few days.... i think we need some inspiration in this group... any ideas, weight loss competition games in mind... let me know what you think. peace |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
hey! sorry for the delay, my computer crashed! so it was stuck in the apple store but now it's up and running. :) I'm still at 154 but I'm hoping to be at 153 by tomorrow. AND yeah we should totally come up with some motivation to get us all going. HM. I'm gonna have to think about this tonight and get back to you both, I'll try to think of something good. Hope all is going well :) |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
Okay so I'm down to 153! I walked a lot yesterday and didn't overeat (finally..) So if you girls want, we can have a FRIENDLY contest to see who loses the most weight every week. Weigh-ins could be on Sundays (or another day..) and we can post here. Does that sound good? If not, do you both have any ideas? |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Hi guys! Grace, that sounds like a good plan - I definantley need some motivation here! I'm 6 pounds above where I started - not a good thing! I have to work my butt off to get down to where I want to be, so that friendly competition just might be what the doctor ordered. And as for any other ideas...hmm. To tie into that, we could change specifications every week - eat so many veggies, exercise for so many minutes or something, and then report it back here. If I come up with any other ideas, I'll let you guys know. So then our start off point is this Sunday? Probably a good day to start it, then I might not be so eager to overstuff myself with Easter dinner and chocolate. :P Hope you guys are doing well! |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Hey guys. I'm curious - what are your worst offenders? Mine are chocolate, baked goods, ice cream products, and peanut butter. I have such a hard time resisting them! That, and portion controlling dinners where I can serve myself - I always serve myself too much! Maybe one of our challenges could be to go a week (or even just a day or two, depending on how prevalent they are!) without our worst offenders? |
|||||||
|
I Wish I Was Me New Member

Hi guys How you doing? I just got back from a short holiday and i ate so much i feel sick. So i think that starting our new resolution is a brilliant plan!!!!!! So we weigh in tommorow, and begin a new journey. It's a friendly comp so thats cool, and i think that idea of how many mins a week we excercise for is also a great plan we should compete with that too, and also the junk food consumption, like how much of whatever junk we eat in one week. That is three good games for the three of us, and we can each try to win at least one or all of the games, that's very exciting..... i think i am ready for this healthy plan sounds fun and we can do it..... how hard can it be, i mean it's just food right? Mind over matter! We all in this together. GOODLUCK have fun and may the beast woman win Peace |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
HEHE. That sounds good! I'm gonna try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, whether it's walking or running or dancing! I have to work on my junk food consumption as well. All right well I'm excited and hopefully something will come out of this :) good luck!! |
|||||||
|
KokoKiero New Member
|
Okay! Yesterday was NOT a good day eating wise - today, however, the challenge is on! My weight is at 157 this morning. Another question - for the junk food and exercise challenge, are we all going to aim for the same, or differ it for what we would like to acheive, and then see who did the best with theirs? Oh, and Happy Easter to you gals too! |
|||||||
|
I Wish I Was Me New Member
|
hi Happy easter I think we should have seperate goals in terms of how much we want to lose, but we can if we want, use the same methods or share our own....btw bad news i gained a kg in 6 days that sucks but i bought wii fitness coach today so i will see how that goes. ok goodluck guys have fun... peace. |

Hey guys (wow I'm posting a lot lately! Not that that's a bad thing...right? :P)! I went riding today - WHOOHOO! It was a bit slippery and the horses were kinda like 'guh, do I really really have to?' But it was fun, and it was so nice to get out. My legs are pretty sore now though... I Wish I Was Me, I agree for the goals. So, we'll all have different goals for a week, and then use the same exercise/eating habit guidelines? Does this sound good to everyone? I've been bad today - I've eaten nothing but chocolate since my breakfast of a carrot and celery stick. I refuse to eat until dinner now, and I'm hoping against hope I'll be able to control myself in the face of turkey and stuffing! Hope your guys' Easter's are going well! Cheers. |

btw i am vegetarian.... any ideas on a good diet or tips for weigh loss or to control my appetite? |
|||||||
|
Grace915 Senior Member
|
hey girls! okay so yesterday I weighed in 154 and I"m still 154 today. My goal is to be 152 by the end of this week. Yesterday was pretty good for me. I walked 5 miles and ate pretty well except I had a slice of pizza (it was soo hard to resist!!) I use a pedometer (it counts the number of steps you walk daily - you should walk about 10,000) and I was able to walk 15,000 yesterday! I guess for tips on controlling appetite, you should in the beginning of the day mark out exactly what you are going to eat so that you know you won't overeat. I also try not to eat after 7 because usually those are just wasted calories. I also drink water before I eat just to make sure I wasn't really thirsty first. Those things usually help me! Does anyone else have any tips? Good luck girls! AND remember we are all here for each other :) :) |
|||||||
|
I Wish I Was Me New Member
|
Hey girls Grace well done on being healthy!!!!! good start! and don't worry about the pizza i guess you did enough workout to cover that. wow! thanks a lot for the tips i think i will try those out, so plan your eating schedule and drink water before you eat. I don't have any tips sorry i actually am really bad when it comes to food! I eat eat eat Goodluck girls have fun and stay healthy!  |
|||||||

KokoKiero New Member

Hi girls! I Wish I Was Me - I have the same problem. It's soooo hard for me to resist food, even if I know I shouldn't be eating it, or that I'm overeating!!! Thanks for the tips Grace - anything to try and curb my overzealous appetite! And now you have me wondering where my pedometer went to... I will try to find it this morning. Good job on your 15000 steps! That's awesome! :D Monday was really good for me. I put up the trampoline and bounced around for a while, did some staff practice (for my martial arts) with my bf, and ran around a bit in the horses' paddock. Yesterday I was going to do some stuff...but I got discouraged and ended up not doing anything. :( Today I'll start off with some of the stuff I was going to do yesterday - before I head out to school I will do 10 minutes on the yoga ball and 10 minutes out on the trampoline. Good luck and healthy eating to both of you! :D |

GOOD JOB! I hope you are both on track! I couldn't weigh myself this morning bc I stayed with a friend but I will tomorrow. Last night I went dancing and I danced for 2 hours (on and off) and felt great afterwards! I had some chocolate though (leftover Easter candy...) So today my goal is to eat super well. HAHAHA! |

It's okay! There have been MANY weeks where I have just maintained my weight. We're all here for each and it WILL be better next week!! I lost 1 pound, was hoping to lose 2 week but I definitely have to work harder next week as well. Keep your head high :) |

No worries I Wish I Was Me - I gained four pounds to be at a total of 161. I'll work hard with you, okay? This week was pretty stressful, and of course what did I do when I was stressed out? I'm gonna convince mom that there is to be NO junk food in this house for a while, until I can learn to control my eating urges! Agh, this doesn't seem to be going the direction I want it to at all! But I'll keep trying...It'll all flow back the right way eventually. Congrats on the pound loss Grace! You're doing really well! :D Here's to the start of a new HEALTHY week! Cheers! |

Hi girls. FINALLY - So far this week (I know it's only two days, but it's better than I've done for three weeks!!) I have NOT overeaten, and I've exercised! WOO HOO. Hopefully I'll be able to pull through and make it through the rest of the week as well. I Wish I Was Me - Here's to a better tomorrow! *hugs for you* If you ever need someone to talk to, there's always an ear open. :) Anyway, off to go jump on the trampoline in the windy ragy day. Here's to our health!! |

I'm gonna try to walk a lot in the city because it's supposed to be super gorgeous today. I have to get in my 10,000 steps!! I only have a couple of weeks left of school so it's soo stressful (which is bad - because than I eat more..) But both of you are going to keep me strong. :) :) Happy healthy day! |

Looking at the scale makes me think I'm really not trying hard enough...gained another pound this week. I don't know if it's the stress, I'm missing something...or if it's just me... |

Hi koko i know exactly what you going through, because i am going through the same thing... it sucks. we gotta work harder, easier said than done. goodluck |

Grace915 Senior Member

HAHA, I gained a pound too!!! kjsdhfkjsdh! I know it's stress for me because I'm almost done with school so I have SO much work. (plus 3 big zits on my face.) On the bright side though, I exercised at least 3o minutes everyday this week. :) I mostly walked but I did go to the gym twice and even had to carry a headboard of a bed with my best friend 20 blocks! (my arms were so sore afterwards...) Anyways, keep your heads up. I think we have to take this one day at time. Like today I realized that I can't go one day without having chocolate so tomorrow I decided that I will have no chocolate. I'm going to make daily goals for myself and hopefully create some good habits. :) Good luck to both of you this week!! |

this week is bad, I eat so much gonna post what i eat everyday need to keep track |

Grace915 Senior Member

:( That's okay!! I was really bad in the beginning of the week but now I'm getting back on track and I've lost 2 pounds since Wednesday. I think the key is eating right because even if you exercise a lot it can go out the window with bad eating. I think I'll do the same as you starting tomorrow since I don't remember exactly how much I ate today (although it was all healthy - except for a small piece of chocolate) Well don't get too discouraged, we'll work through it :) |

Hey guys...this week was not a good week... I went to the doctor's yesterday, they say I'm going to need surgery in July...nothing serious at least, but still. I don't like the anasthesia. So I've kinda binged on a few things. Not good...and the weigh in's tomorrow so I can't even try to work all of it off. Oh well. Congrats Grace! You are like the rock on this team - don't know where we'd be without you. And I Wish I Was Me - we'll struggle through this together! And besides, I think once we break through the start of it that we'll find it easier as we go along. Or so I'm hoping. :D |

OH I'm sorry to hear, I hate surgeries!! So I didn't weigh myself this morning because I was running really late for church, so I will have to do it tomorrow. I know I definitely gained weight this week even though I lost 2 pounds. Today was REALLY good for me though! I'm going to put my daily stats here to stay more focused. Weight: N/A Ate: 2 Fiber Bars - 280 2 Kashi Go Lean Bars - 320 3 Egg Whites and American Cheese - 150 Banana - 100 Yogurt - 80 Pretzels - 110 TOTAL: 1,040 Exercise: Ran 25 minutes on the treadmill and burned 260 Calories - I know I should have eaten more today, but I wasn't hungry at all, although I know I'll feel it tomorrow. Hope you all had a good healthy day today!! :) |

Hey girls! So I've been doing great! I've been going to the gym twice a day and eating super healthy! I think I need to consume more calcium though. Anyways right now I'm at 155 but I'm hoping to be 154 by tomorrow morning. I hope things get less stressful for you and I know exactly how you feel because I had to go through that the last 2 weeks. Try to keep the goal in mind and don't stress out too much about school, although I know how hard that can be! :0 |

Hey girls - sorry for being so scare lately. Nearing the end of school and the stress is piling on! I haven't weighed myself in a while, because I'm always rushing to different places. I'll try to find the time this weekend hopefully. Good to hear you both are doing well! Keep it up! :D |

Heyy girls! Okay, so this week I've been working out about an hour and a half to 2 hours everyday. I go to the gym in the morning and run on the treadmill in the morning for 30 minutes between 5.4 and 5.9 MPH. I raise it by one point every week so next week I will run between 5.5 and 6.0 MPH. Then I do some weights after and alternate between arms, back and legs. I do crunches everyday though. At night I go back and ride the bike for 30 minutes. Nothing to intense, I listen to history podcasts and it's usually just to get my blood flowing. :) It's been making a HUGE difference because it inspires me to eat healthier as well and I've already lost 4 pounds this week, so right now I'm at 153. The only reason I'm doing this is because I actually have the time now, so just do the best that you can do in the time that you have. I'm cheering for you both! |

I'm SOOO sorry guys.... :( I'm having so many problems right now that I just can't concentrate on losing the weight. I think I'm gonna have to drop out of here for a while, at least until I get my head straight. I'll still be cheering for you guys, but I just don't think I can concentrate on doing this every day with everything else that is happening to me right now. I feel bad for just stopping, but... |

Hi I was wondering if you would like to add another buddy to your group. I am a sixteen year old female that is 5"6, who currently weighs about 157lbs. When I ws foruteen I went from 170lbs to 153lbs. I still have about twenty more pounds to go plus the four I gained. I went through a lot of stuff with friends and school this year and I figured its time to do something for myself, since I'm always worrying about others. I am excercising everyday now and I have some old videos that i work out to plus my treadmill. I write everything down that I eat so it keeps me accountable. I am also trying to drink me water and really eat healthy. My adivce to you is that you can do it. After losing the weight the first time it gave me such a sense of accomplishment. Hope I cna become your buddy. By the way I forgot to mention my name is Kelly |

thanks so much for welcoming me into your group. i need some support from people my own age. i realize that i want my junior year to be a great year and i also want to feel great. losing weight is hard but you can do it. sometimes it gets frustrating when you dont lose the weight but dont give up. do you have any suggestions for workouts??? i like doing different things. right now i alternate between workout videos and the treadmill. |
|||||||

i totally agree with you I am sorry i don't have any advice to give you on work outs i also just go on the treadmill sooo..... |

oh no problem. yesterday was finally my last day of school. i am so relieved because this year there was so much emotional stress which prevented me from losing weight and made me gain a few pounds. now instead of eating, i exercise when i am stressed. I realize though that life is too short to worry about people who let you down. I have a totally new mind set. I realize I owe it to myself to lose weight. good luck this week. I will check my weight on Friday. I have a bad habit of checking my weight everyday and I am breaking that because it drives me nuts. lol |

hey i lost a pound which brings me down to 156. i did really good this week and i think my body might be in shock from going from no exercise to a lot of exercise. plus my "girly monthly friend" should be here anyday, and i always gain 2 pounds in water weight. i ll take what i can get. im happy i lost a pound though. oh and hey girls, you all sound like you are doing great!!

I'm feeling pretty good, but I still can't exercise because it would be too much strain on my stitches. On Tuesday, as long as I'm ok, I'm going to be started a job at a local amusement park. I will be on my feet all day so hopefully that will help aid my weight loss. Good luck with your weigh in. I'm sure you will do fine this week. :-) |

i have some good news for once!!! I lost four pounds this week. I went from being 157 to 153lbs. It's the jump start I needed. I still am not back to my exercise routine yet because I'm still a little sore, so next week I should be ok too. i am going to the beach at the end of july and I want to look nice in a bathing suit!!!!! I was looking at pictures and realized I did really gain weight. I don't want my pictures to be like that anymore!!!!!!!! |
|||||||

my job keeps me on my feet all day and the pounds really seem to be coming off. i am finally better from getting my wisdom teeth out and feel healthy enough to start excerising. the exercise will really help me shed the pounds. this is definitely what i needed, a jump start. hope to hear good news from you but if not its ok. |

Hey wow thats brilliant!!! well done steelbabe keep up the good work!!!! I lost 0.5kgs this week but will weight again on sunday hopefully will be another 0.5 which will be one kg this whole week Go team!!!! yay |

that's great!!! both of us are really working hard and we are seeing the relsults. i stayed the same this week, but that's fine coming off of a four pound weight loss. i have also added going on my treadmill in the morning before work. It keeps me awake for the whole long eight hour day on my feet. dont you just love the feeling of loose clothes, and being able to fit in the skinny clothes, instead of being forced to wear the fat ones. good luck this week, im sure you will keep up the good work. I would say Happy Fourth of July to you but you don't live in this country. I work all weekend so I have no time to eat all the bad holiday food. lol I do get to see fireworks cause the amusement park I work at has a big show. |

hi, I´m Laura, I´m looking for some diet buddies to motivate me, I´m 54kg and I want to get down to 45kg but its really dificult as I´m eating loads and my boyfriend isnt working at the moment so I´m doing no exercise...maybe you two could share some tips with me or something. My tips would be to drink herbal teas, more water, do situps, eat black choccie instead or normal choccie, keep a food journal, dont ever touch coca cola and keep something for motivation like a photo or something- |
|||||||
|
steelbabe86 New Member

To My Old Buddy: Don't be scared!!! If it is bad it will just give you more determination to keep going and get to your goal. The scale is a scary thing and I know ho your feeling. Good luck!! To My New Buddy (Laura): Sure I'd love to have another buddy to go along wiht me in my weight loss journey. It is difficult not being able to lose weight. We are are in this together!!! You can lose the weight. This is my second stab at trying to lose weight. I previously lost 20 pounds, but gained ten of it back. I gained it back because I wsa eating uncontrollably. Some people can eat like that, but with my metabolism, I can't My goal is to lose the ten pounds I gained plus another ten pounds. Thank you for the tips. I am a big fan a green tea. I usually brew it myself and drink it without sugar, because the bottled stuff has loads and loads of sugar. I am keeping a food journal, and the picture idea sounds really good. Welcome to the club!!!! |

hey! thanks for the nice welcome! Well lately I´ve been eating like crazy! and doing no exercise whatsoever....nothing! I dont know what exercise I can do because my boyfriend isnt working and hes always in the bedroom and I just cant face going out for a run! I cant push myself to do it. Well I´ve been reading about water retention, and it says to drink more water, cranberry juice, bananas, lettuce and more vitamin C. (just some info lol) Well I´d like to know how you two manage your cravings, whatever cravings you have how do you banish them? Or do you give in? lol, I give in most of the time, if I want choccie then i´ll go and grab something else but I´ll eat loads of it,, like 4 yogourts xdd and toast and cereal lol!!!!! bad bad bad |

I'm not going to lie, sometimes I give into my cravings, but I try different things. If i want chocolate sometimes I will drink hot chocolate. If I'm craving salt I try just having a couple pretzels. It seems like for me if I can have a taste, I will be ok. I am currently not exercising that much but am on the weight watchers points plan. it worked for me before. don't give up. find what's best for you. |
