Happy February everyone! :drinker: Let's do something good for ourselves today!0

This is the most encouraging post I've seen on this site. I have been so discouraged with losing weight because l have always been bigger. I'm trying to lose weight now and it feels like such a slow process. I needed to read something like this as a reminder that I'm not alone in this. Thank you for that! I'm going to definitely join in this journey. My stats as of right now are:
Beginning weight: 230
Current weight: 217
Goal weight: 1700 -
Down one pound this week. I wish it would go faster, but I guess I'm happy it's at least going down.0
-
Saturday weigh in - keeping steady as I've upped my cardio to 45-60 min a day. Definitely retaining water!
Not unhappy, b/c it's not about the pounds so much as how I feel and I feel great!0 -

Checking in
I weigh in on Mondays. I gained about pound this week which puts be at 213. I'm not super shocked, I lost 3lbs then 2lbs in back to back weeks. My body has NEVER allowed that to happen before :laugh: so I think it's in shock. Another reason is I'll be getting my TOM later this week and into the weigh in next week. My TOMs seem to take up 2 weigh ins a month. But I'm not depressed, just chugging along. I've lost 18 glorious pounds so far. There is no stopping me. This journey is going to be a long one, whats one more week 
thats ok...i gained 2 lbs this week lol...salt hates me!...thats a GREAT 18 pounds...and you are gonna kick butt all the way to the end!0 -
I'm checking in for the week.
I love 2 lbs, down to 256.
I'll be honest though. I'm not sure how I lost the two pounds. Life's gotten really stressful the last couple of weeks and I haven't been tracking or eating well. Maybe it's just the stress? I don't know, but I know at some point this is going to come to a stanstill. Hopefully I can drop a few more pounds first though.
i say take the losses when u can-- regardless of why! haha...well done!0 -
Just wanted to check in:
CW: 260
SW: 270
thats amazing!!! well done girl!!0 -
Hi everyone: It's a new day. Everyone got some great plans for this week? I've had a good weekend. Had a date night with my hubby on Saturday, had a nice little visit with my sister and her family yesterday, and finally went to the doctor about my sinus problems. Nothing like a couple of embarrassing nose bleeds to make you take action. I'm on a strong antibiotic now which I take once a day for 15 days. Hoping that will work so I can get back to the gym. My week of eating and such really wasn't as controlled as it should have been but I did make a point of doing at least 20 minutes of some kind of exercise every day (which really was strenuous with the sinus thing going on) and it seems to have helped. Stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down a bit.
Well I'm off to get things tidied up here, I've got a guy coming over to install some contraption so I will now have high speed wireless internet ... unlimited ... woo hoo!! I'll pop back on later.
hope u are feeling better now!!!0 -
i tried to post the chart....im going to have to work on it tomorrow couldnt really see the words0
-

haha yeah...well actually since i did this last night that was my weigh- in from monday...where i had gained 2 lbs...but then i weighed in this morning (post-chart) and i lost 5 lbs...so that is right...but my new weight loss i will adjust for next weeks posts...thanks for looking out tho!!! thats super nice0 -
I realized I didn't "check-in". Hadn't read enough of the posts apparently. Bad me! That's ok! I will be better come the future. Right now, I am down from 217 to 214.2 (yesterday). So, that is awesome! I still can't believe it is me every time I walk by a window. These 40 pounds have changed my life literally. My expectations of myself and my dreams. I always knew I loved horses and wanted to ride, but now I see riding as something I can do and be comfortable doing! So excited for spring to come so I can get back in the saddle (literally)!0

Thanks for the chart!!
Great progress blueymo! :drinker:0 -
Can I join in? I have been heavy since I popped out I do believe. I was 150 by 5yrs old and then 274 by third grade and then over 350 by 8th. Next time I was able to weigh was on the football players scale in 10th grade and I was 417. I was 477 by the end of high school then hit my highest at 26yo of 535. My goal is 180 (my doc says 200). I had gastric bypass 10 yrs ago and lost a bit but then have been struggling to get lower. I am the lowest I have been elementary school and trying to feel proud of that I mean 210 pounds lost is great but I keep seeing the left to lose looming over my head. My goal right now is under 300 so 26 more pounds to get there and I want to do this by June.
Highest- 535
Current-325
Goal- 180-2000 -
Hi AmyNVegas! Welcome, and all the best in achieving your goals!0

I know I'm a little late ,but I've been reading your post and I would absolutely LOVE to be in this club!!! I have been big all my life and I have never known what it was like to be "skinny". I was born 3 months premature and weighed 1lb 14 oz. so I started out very tiny and stayed pretty small until I was about 5 yrs. old and as my family will say "It was like you learned how to eat and gained all this weight over night!" And apparently I never stopped eating since!! LOL I really appreciate you creating a club for those of us who have never been skinny. I have no idea where I will end up but I can't wait to meet this "skinny girl" inside!
Starting Weight: 191 lbs.
Current Weight: 181 lbs.
Goal Weight: 160 lbs.
Ideal Weight - w/ height I'm supposed to be: 135 lbs.0
