Trying to lose 85 lbs

alesha_redhot17

This is my second attempt and I'm sticking to it this time! Just looking for friends/motivation to keep me going.

I've changed only the way I eat and in one week I've lost 7lbs. If I lose another 5 this week I'm going to start doing cardio on a treadmill. I'd love to lose quite some weight before the end of summer.

Good luck everyone!!!

I just re-started today. I have at least that much to lose. Right now I am going to focus on making smart choices, keeping track, and starting to move. In the past I have jumped in full force just to crash and burn within a month.

Good Luck!

Ps. I don't know what add me means, but you can add me too.

7 lbs. is a really good start, but a five lb. follow-up might be too much to expect. In any event, going forward - do your math - calculate your BMR, set realistic intake and exercise goals. Don't know what you mean by "cardio" but you can start walking at any time. Let us know how you're doing.

Feel free to add me, I have an open food diary, my 1st weight loss goal is 50 lbs, but there is more to lose after that.

I am trying to lose 70 pounds and was going with the goal of one pound a week. Been doing this for 3 weeks and haven't lost anything. Frustrated but sticking to it. Not sure how to add people but would love to have others doing this with me.

@goldensa how many calories a day? Do you own a digital scale? Logging everything by weight, grams / ounces solid foods, cups for liquid?

goldensa

I was at 1800, doing a Dr. oz thing right now of 1000 calories for 5 consecutive days to kick start weight loss and then I am going to change to 1500 a day. I don't have a digital scale but I have been weighing meats not really leaf lettuce and spinach. And I believe I am logging everything correctly.

I also need to lose 70 lbs. I hate measuring things so i am being much more loose about it and focusing on eating good meats or protein and veggies and fruit. Eliminating all processed foods and sugar although that isn't easy. I have been doing pretty well for about 45 days and I don't have a scale but can feel my clothes getting looser. Goal is 1500 calories a day.

From my laptop, I click on their name. Then a little box pops up and I click their name again and it takes me to their profile where there is a green ADD FRIEND button.
