in Introduce Yourself
I can't believe I'm actually losing weight. I've never been on a diet, I've cheated a lot and haven't started exercising yet and lost 8 lbs in a month. I've got about 32 lbs to go to get to goal weight of 120 lbs. This makes me excited about my future! I just wanted to write this blog to motivate people who are struggling with their diet. The secret is don't give up even if you gain a pound or two. Consistency is key. Just like with anything in life. Good luck to everyone!

    I'm about the same, but I started with working out a lot and eating less and drinking tons of cold water. Oh and switched to diet pop. My problem was I was drinking nothing but regular pop pretty much almost always and eating horrible food and I have digest problems apparently... being a woman. But I lost 18 lbs that way and pretty fast but kinda just quit trying but have kept to mostly diet pop and haven't been gorging myself but I do eat what I want if I'm really wanting it and I'm down 27lbs now. So I've lost 9 in the past month or more doing about nothing as well. Weird isn't it? But hey, I'll take it! Good luck to you!!

    This is my first time to try and lose weight as well. I stopped eating fast food and drink mainly water (occassionally strawberry milk). In 2 weeks I've lost 5 pounds :) I'm currently at 142 and want to get down to around 120 although I'd probably be happy at 125 lol.
    Keep it up girl, we can do this!!!!

    Thanks! I'm actually surprised it's working for me but it is and all I can do is keep going. After I had my daughter I weighed the most I ever weighed 150. Then I lost some weight without even trying two years after she was born. I lost the weight because I was going through some positive changes(I left the father of my child) and I was happy but after about 4 years later I gained it back and then some. My heaviest ever at 165. I just was sick of it and said I refuse to get any bigger and it's not healthy. So I found this app through my iphone and the rest is history. I get excited every morning before I weigh myself (well that's if I didn't cheat on my diet the night before) and then I'm kind of dreading it. I weigh myself every morning, it helps me really keep track of my weight. And yes we can do this!
