Hi, I am Linda

I am looking for anyone who is tired of being "sick and tired" :brokenheart: of gaining weight and eating unhealthy junk foods. I don't care which diet plan you follow, :drinker: because the only goal we are looking for is weight loss.

I want us to share with each other the ups/downs of our diet mistakes, recipes, tell each other about new products on the market that you tried and liked or disliked. But the rule here is to NEVER QUIT ON YOURSELF. Because we will do this TOGETHER.

Looking for some warriors who are ready to take this head on and once and for all lose the weight once and for all. I don't care if you have 130, 120, 110, all the way down to 50 lbs. Just report once a week (Saturday), to keep the group of how well you are doing. Starting anytime this week :yawn: up until Christmas Eve of 2011,

If You are ready... LOG on a let's get this party started.

.

Linda :flowerforyou:

    My name is Linda as well and I am interested in this! I have been working at a local camp as their horse program director and I'm tired of being the most out-of-shape director there! I would like to lose 50 pounds before summer camp restarts this summer (means by May 22nd). I know it seems tough, but I have tried and LOVED the HCG diet. We have a local homeopathic, health doctor in the area that has lots of info and I tried it once. I lost 25 lbs in about 5 weeks. I am getting ready to restart. My favorite part of the diet was the "jumpstart" it did for me. It got me thinking that weight loss was possible for me (I have NEVER been a slender person), and it stopped me in my unhealthy tracks. For instance, I used to drink at least 1 can of Dr. Pepper every day (usually 2-3 cans). Since giving them up for the diet, I've not even really been tempted to go back and my last one was in October 2010. Not overly long ago, but it was quitting cold turkey and it was an amazing change for me! So, Yeah! I want to take on this challenge and be challenged! So, please kick me if I don't log in! Feel free to message me and remind me cause I'm bad about starting things that I don't continue. I need the discipline, so feel free to help! Thanks for starting this post!
    Sorry I'm such a talkative, wordy person :blushing: !

    I am working on me every day. I dont have much weight to loose but I do have me to work on and will need support to continue maintaining my goal weight also. Mind Body and Spirit
  • I would love to be a part of this club. Thanks for the post
  • Wow! This is what I am talking about. We are all in the same boat and together we can get through this. So looking forward to everyone posting their new numbers on Saturday. And everyone can get the complete run-down on SUNDAY!

    Our first change is that .... WE MUST DRINK MORE WATER. When you feel hungry drink some water, wait 10 minutes and if you are still feel hungry... it is because you are.

    Our 2nd thing is that .... WE MAKE WISE FOOD CHOICES, weigh and measure our foods i.e., 3 ounces of protein, 1/2 cup veggies, take accountailityfor everything you put in your mouth and when you feel satiated, save the remainder for later.

    Our 3rd change is that every morning you must eat BREAKFAST, and get moving (walking, jogging, housework, etc). 30 minutes of physcal activities (15 in the AM/ 15 in the PM).

    Get on your mark, get ready .....set .... GOoooooooo!

    Hi everyone ... I started this trip Oct 6th ... 64 and have had a quad by-pass, right hip replacement and both knees replaced (got my left hip to go) ... trying to get 100 lbs off by the end of Oct 2011 (65th BD) ... been out of work for over a year & being around the house by myself (most of the day) is not easy ... but things could be worse ... 'one day at a time' ... trying to do a little walking for my heart and knees ... a slow go.

    Ya'll be good and I'll see you in the 'slow lane'.

    Oh I am in.... my main goal is to do the whole 2011 what I did only for a couple of months. I guess its a sort of Clean eating died - I eat a lot of unprocessed and uncooked food. This is not my goal, its just a tool. I am a student and I dont have time to prepare stuff, so its not cooked, and I want to eat healthy, so its mainly vegetables, yogurt, tuna and stuff like that. It worked for me so well and now I want to continue.
    I eat breakfast so the hardest part for me actually will be drinking water. I will try my best.
  • Hi Jack:

    You are doing great! 30 lbs is nothing to sneeze at.

    Just try to stay focused and keep your eye on the vision. What type of diet are you doing? Are you doing this weightloss thing through a nutritionist? Well just know, you have all of our support here. Take it one day at a time and set one goal for yourself a day to accomplish and let us know about it.

    Be good and GOD Bless!
  • :laugh:

    Black swan, take it one day at a time. Make that your goal each day, to drink more water. Love to hear from you by the end of the week to see how you did.
  • Tjradd73:

    Wow! 70 lbs is FANTASTIC!!! You can show us a few things here. Glad to have you aboard.
  • Just checking on my folks

    HI:

    I'm getting ready to go back on HCG for a second round. I loved it the first time--gave me so much energy, helped me quit wanting soda, and really reprogrammed my brain. I am probably starting back up the second week of January and so that is when I will really start seeing results. This week has had some great encouragement though since I had decided to relax and eat whatever over Christmas and not stress out I put on around 9 pounds! OUCH! But, I started back in this week and have already lost every one of those pounds and am back down to where I was before. So that was an awesome feeling to realize that I can take control back even after a bad weekend!

    Talk about needing sleep. I drank so much water last night that it kept me up to 3:30:yawn: AM, after that I just passed out and woke up again at 7AM. Hope all are doing great. We can do this!!!!

  • I'm looking for friends to help keep me on track with with My Fitness Pal. Feel free to add me! My name is Amy, my main ways to loose this weight is to eat right, make good choices, and log everything. I am training for a marathon (ran my first in October) I have been inviting people so accept me and kick my butt if I don't log. Thanks!
  • Welcome Amy, glad that you are serious about becoming healthy. You've have come to the right place. We can do this and we will. Just take it one hour at a time, set a goal for the day and when you post let me know if you completed that goal.

    Everyone here, is here to help you. Have a good night and will chat with you tomorrow.

    My name is Jessica and I would love to be a part of this. I am attending college to be a personal trainer and I can't even get off my own fat @$$ and get anything done for my self. How will I ever be able to help others if I can't even help my self. I did get some awesome work out things for Christmas though and I can't wait to try them. My current weight is 239.8 pounds. I am 5 ft 4 in tall and I have 6 kids, and a wonderful husband. I need to lose the weight for me and for them. I look forward to being a "loser " with everyone else here in this group. :flowerforyou:
