    Hello everyone. My name is Charlene. My goal is to lose at least ten pounds per month. Since half this month is gone, my goal is 5 pounds. I have however already lost 5.8 pounds at the beginning of this month. Wish me luck.

    CW: 266 (on Wed 1/18/12)
    Goals: 7 lbs per month, to reach 169 by March of 2013.

    Doing my own version of The South Beach Diet, adding as much water as I can stand (which is about 4 cups a day right now), and walking on my 15 minute breaks at work. Small steps for now and watching the high glycemic carbs as much as possible.

    The 3 lbs loss in 2 days MUST be water weight or some natural fluxuation, but hey, I'll take it.

    Goals: 12 this month, 6 per month after.

    This month so far I have lost 9 pounds, and have been stuck there for three days. I oh so want to say I have lost 10... that would make my day!

    I am tall, so all it has done for me so far is that my pants are still too tight but I am no longer afraid my button is going to fly off and kill someone. But I will take it! :-) I REFUSED to buy the next size up, but I do have 4 pairs of work pants in the next size down waiting in my closet. I figure another 20 and I can fit into them, and they will be good for the next 30 pounds lost!

    My trick is portion control and counting calories for this stage of the game. I am pretty much eating what I want, but being smart about what I choose with a few little treats thrown in. My maple creamer in my coffee in the morning to get me going, and my Skinny Cow truffle bar at night if I have been good. Maybe a beer or glass of wine for dinner. Good being around 1500-1600 for the day after all is said and done.

    I tried a very low calorie diet under a doctor's supervision (1200 calories), but after 30 pounds the scale refused to budge any more. Three months later I gave up, and eating normally put most of it back on - then the combination of breaking up with my boyfriend of 6 years and the holidays made me put on another 15. This time I am going to succeed! And give myself a little leeway in the beginning so I have something to give up the next time the scale sticks. And I am going to take advantage of not having a feeder around trying to sabotage my progress.

    Good luck everyone!

    Good Morning MFPals,

    I have finally gotten that ticker to move in my favor. YEAH!! It shows I have to do a bit more than just cut portions , I have to watch my Carbs and Fats. I'm pretty sure I knew that already, but was still trying to get away with it. Wishing Great Luck to everyone.

    We CAN
    DO THIS!!!

    Some of this was Water weight.

    I'm only going to post weight 1x/week. My plan is to weigh every Monday morning, after I go potty, before I get into the shower. That's what I did last week to get my starting weight of 269. This morning I weighed in at 263... a 6 lb loss in 1 week!!! Sweet Jesus, that's beautiful! Here's the thing: I've eaten 1500 calories or more pretty much every day except one day I had about 1900 and had one total binge day where I ate like 2500 calories. The only things I've done is CUT CARBS. It's amazing! I, honest to God, did NOT think it would work, but so far, so good! I hope everyone else is having a good goal week!

    Mondays are my weigh days. Unless it's a federal holiday, 'cause I weigh at work.
