    Hi All,

    This is a good post. I can see that a lot of people made the resolve to lose weight this year. My big resolution this year is to lose weight and gain back my self-confidence.

    I am at about 206 pounds at present and intend to be at 165 pounds in a few months. Am on a 1250 calorie diet.

    Regards,

    - n

    I want to join too. I started on the 4th. My name is Candy. I've been overweight since I was around 10. I started at 250 and have lost 5 pounds. I thought I wanted to do this slow so I set my goal for losing one pound a week which is 1730 calories a day but now I'm think I want to lose faster. Does anyone have any advice for me?

    Hi Candylea:flowerforyou:


    My best advice would be not to give up if you have a bad day. also make sure to exercise. Find something fun that you like to do so that it doesn't seam like such a chore. Also, I have started counting my calories, and this has really started to jump start my weight loss. I had just been exercising, and not counting calories. I cut way back on sweets and pop, but after counting my calories I have found out that I still was eating too much. MFP has a great way to help you calculate your calories. Good luck to you. We are all here for you:smile:

    Welcome all the new comers. I measured on Saturday and forgot to bring in the paper that I wrote it down on. Husband said I should weigh once a week and measure once a month to keep track. We purchased a nice digital scale this weekend and will weigh myself on Saturday mornings. My husband said a lot could happen in 3 months and I should stay on top of my weight.

    Will send post tomorrow with measurements.

    Nevermind I found the news feed when I made a friend!Wow so I went over 38 calories because i needed a hard boiled egg with my soup and now the workd will know that? :( yikes.....

    From what the blog about 'friends' says it's not supposed to post anything negative like going over your cals or gaining weight, but it will tell your friends when you haven't logged in.

    Well its great seeing more people come on board!! WELCOME EVERYONE!!

    This is a hard and LOOOOONG journey!!! We will all have bumps along the way!! but with each others support, it does make getting back up and not giving up that much easier!!

    so heres to 2010!!!!!!

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

    .......im going for a run today!!!! must do it!!! :wink:

    hooray look at all the people who have joined :smile: good luck everybody!!

    I got a little off ttrack today.. everything was good until lunchtime and then two-bite brownies entered the picture:cry: ... i had four... double what one should... and so now i'm over calories (although only by 50). the thing that sucks is i was eating htem while studying for an exam, so i didn't even really get to enjoy them!! (note to self: stop mindless eating :blushing: ) guess i will have to start fresh tomorrow! everyday's a new day :)

    Chipgal I love the faces! lol

    Eek - mindless eating! I hate it! That is wy I try to do whast I call mindless drinking .. of water that is lol. I find that if I have a bottle just sitting near me I am more apt to pick it up and drink it rather then eat and it helps keep me feeling full and that darn hunger feeling at bay!

    By the way went to cofffee shop this morning with dh and I GOT WATER! :)

    I'm doing pretty good. Unfortunately I made a pie today and ate 2 slices already. I'm trying to get everyone else to eat it. I will be over my calories today by 88. I will be fine tomorrow. I'm not exercising much at all so I need to do something about that.

    a little frustration...

    yesterday I did both those classes and unfortunatley I weigh myself every day and this morning there was no lose! My calories were fine. I just keep thinking back to last summer when I was burning like 900 a day and eating 1200 but I never lost any weight. It was like my body went in to starvation mode in a blnk of an eye. Can that happen probably not but I have no other explanation. And I need one. But I am still going to cleasses and not giving up just venting! :)
