    Hey I weighed in today and I have lost another pound. I have also lost 1/4 of an inch off my waist!!! I know that don't sound like much but I will take it any way I can get it. I want it to be gone faster but if I go faster it will come back. So I will go slow so I can keep it off. I want to look good when I look in the mirror!!!!!!!!


    Hey guys and Gals lets keep this going.

    1/4 of an inch off is 1/4 of an inch closer to your goal!! Way to go!!

    WHOAH! Slow down now, I need to catch up to that! :laugh: I don't have a whole lot of time this week to workout 'cuz hubby's out of town so no one around to pick pick up my youngest by 6:30. That cut out a whole thirty minutes out of my routine. :ohwell:

    To make a very long story short( this goes against my nature) our dear friends have a pot belly pig who ran away and they had been searching for her for a week. They got a call she was spotted on a country road about 2 miles from their house. We ( my hubby and I ) happen to be there for dinner. We find the pig but she does NOT want to be caught. I am over 100 pounds overweight while my husband and our friends are in fine physical condition. They have been chasing her when she comes out of a field heading straight for me. I seize the opportunity to try to grab her but she darts to the side and I miss her. This of course ticks me off and I start chasing her and I do mean chasing her. I had not run like that since high school track!!! Anyway, after that experience I realized that I could do more than I imagined I could. It completely changed the way I thought and felt about myselft. It was then I decided to take control and I have lost 10 pounds so far and I only weigh myself once a month so only time will tell.





    just wandering did you catch the pig :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Just a question, do I have to eat the cals that I earn? Sometimes I earn quite a few like 550-750 or more and just don't think I can eat them all

    Heaviest Weight-260lbs
    Starting Weight-242lbs
    Current Weight-220lbs
    Goal Weight-135lbs

    My real goal would be 115, but let's get real :wink: I am almost 59 and have multiple health issues, do you really think I can get down smaller than I was in high school? :cry: :noway: :ohwell: But I sure am going to try.

    I think this is an awesome idea. I need to lose at least 75 pounds but more like 100, but have set a smaller goal for the first step, getting under 200 pounds!!! All the encouragement I can get is appreciated!

    I'm having a hard time with eating the full 1200 calories I'm supposed to, let alone the ones I earn from working out, but I'm really trying. I think you should too. Seems I've stopped losing weight (not gaining any either though) for a bit, but I think it's because my body is trying to figure out what the heck is going on. LOL And I think I remember reading in another post not to be surprised if you do gain weight for a couple of weeks, until your body gets used to it.

    i just recently hit my second plateau. i've noticed it takes about 3 weeks of persistence to get through it. i agree with ya. sometimes i think my body is saying, "what the hell?"

    I am new here and this sounds FANTASTIC!
    I have 100 pounds to lose and I have lost about 8 so far!

    Hey apigsavedmylife...I am quite curious about your name...I'm a bit obsessed with pigs...Former Iowa farm girl here. Anyway, good luck. :) I'm not doing great this week, but I'm still feeling pretty motivated. We can do it!

    To make a very long story short( this goes against my nature) our dear friends have a pot belly pig who ran away and they had been searching for her for a week.

    Thats a great story, I love that your name has a cool meaning like that. Godd luck with your goals.

    Weighed myself this morning (it's not weigh in day, but it's my TOM and I wanted to see just how many pounds that adds)...I was down 5 pounds...I was psyched! Super excited! Weighed myself again tonight just to make sure I wasn't imagining my weight loss, and I was back to where I was before this morning...I know the time of day you weigh yourself matters, but sheesh...way to get a girl's hopes up! :cry:

    That is why I have my husband hide the scale.:grumble:
    I found myself obsessing over it. Weighing myself several times a day and riding the losses really well and the gains ( which are inevitable ) really bad.

    Don't be to hard on yourself about it though. Hormones and water rentention are killers:mad:

    I am so glad for this thread!

    Passionerica,
    To answer your question yes we did catch the pig that night but not by me personally. She actually had a lot of stamina and when she finally slowed down our friends grabbed her while my husband put her harness on. It was quite a night in Oklahoma. My friend even commented that Jeff Foxworthy could use this in his "you might be a redneck" act.

    I actually weigh at my dr office. That way I am not tempted to weigh too often. It is a pain to go to the office, so far I have gone twice. My next appointment is in 6 weeks, but I'll stop by at the 1/2 way point to weigh. I was so lucky to find a physician who is like a diet buddy. She is sooo encouraging. I don't even have a scale at home anymore.

    I really wish I would have started with my weight from last week, I started at 283 and now am 278 so that's five that I could have charted:grumble: oh well at this weight what's five pounds, and with that said I think I'm going to stick with the before workout calories, I think that if I eat the earned ones that'd be maintaining?:huh:

    I only weigh myself in the morning, and take that number. If you are charting on here, try to pick the same day of the week and the same time of day. What I chose was Thursdays at 7:00am (after my hubby leaves for work):laugh:

    ok everyone its been a while since I have checked in cuz not a lot has changed, I am not going up but I am not going down. I have only been to the gym like 4 times in 2 weeks and am really just maintaining at the moment. I need to push myself to get back into the gym. I know I can do it.
    Anyways current weight is basically 173.7

    WOOHOO! Count me in! It's nice have others that have a similar amount to lose. Here are my stats:

    HW- 305lbs
    CW- 291lbs
    1st GW- 200lbs
    2nd GW- 150lbs (let's see how I feel here)

    I love this site and just this week I have really stepped it up. I am going to lose 30lbs before my birthday (which is in October) I would love to lose 40lbs though before then.

    Good luck to you all!

    You know I am sitting and reading all these posts and I am crying my eyes out because on one hand I feel like I have no right to bit(h because I am not as "big" as others but I am so scared that I can't lose...I cannot imagina being smaller...I don't eat much..in fact the cal. restrictions meant I had to eat MORE?!? So I have and I work out...alot and still I am fatter and fatter...I feel like fat is taking me other....is it really worth being here if your fat and miserable all the time?

    If one eats little or starves themselves, our bodies go into what they call starvation mode, what our bodies developed during the cavemen era when our bodies didn't know if more food was coming so it stored it just in case, when you eat like 5-6 small meals a day, your body think oh, I'll just burn this because I know that in like 2 or 2 1/2 hours I'm going to get more food, just be sure to stay in your range of cals that the site gives you, you can do it! You may have a little to lose, but if I am determined and I have about 120 to get rid of you can surely do it!

    You can do this! I started out at the beginning of Jan needing to lose 70-75 lbs. As of yesterday I'm done 49 lbs, and I'm 44 years old. I've always been big, and I never thought in a million years that I would be able to stick with this. Well guess what? I did and I plan to keep on going. Just take it one day at a time, and log everything that you put in your mouth. I actually log on here, and in a journal that I bought from Barns and Noble.---Keeps me honest---:heart: and :drinker:
