Easter Bunnies Support Group!!!!

Hello! My name is Stacy and I'm from southern California. I teach high school English, so my job ranges - some days I'll sit (testing days!) for most of the periods while other days I'm up and moving around and lecturing - just depends on the plan. I love what I do, but the whole stuff-your-face-for-thirty-minutes-it's-all-you-get lunch thing can get to me. I think I eat so fast that my body doesn't process, so I feel hungry every hour or two. I'm working on it.

I've done weight watchers a few times, and fairly successfully - but I've never yet reached my actual goal, which is 125. I've gotten as close as 127.2 which was the summer before I got married (which was this past October), and since getting married the adjustment has taken its toll. I wouldn't say I've ever been fat (the most I've weighed is 155 when I was a senior in high school - big time stressful year), but I had not made a vow to be healthy until recently.

My husband tries to be supportive, but I know he doesn't want to make me feel bad, and that he thinks I'm beautiful just the way I am (aww, the honeymoon phase) but I know that I'm not satisfied. We've been doing pretty good at cutting out processed foods, cooking all of our own meals (we've gone over six months now of marriage, and have yet to cook the same meal twice), but I think my biggest issue is not tracking my calories, and overeating my portion sizes.

So that's why I'm here. I need someone (preferably, lots of someones) to kick me in the butt daily to make sure I stay on top of myself. So far, this has been a great place to do that, and I'm hoping I'll keep myself motivated enough to do so. Any support will be greatly appreciate

Hello my name is Bobbi. I am 24 years old, a college student and a full time payroll manager. I went through this dieting thing 5 years ago I wanted to be fit and healthy at 19. I did it I lost 50 pounds I was so proud of myself and had all the confident I never had in high school. I then met my boyfriend we got serious and moved in together well that was a huge mistake. I love him and we r still together but I stopped caring about what I ate and gave a lot of exuses why I shouldn't work out. I am over that, I will be 25 in June and I would like to take tons of pictures of myself with out feeling ashamed.

My family also has a history of weight problems and the risk that go along with it. I want to be healthy for my life this is my time no more excuses!! Thanks you all a head of time for the support!!

Hi, I'm Claire (31). I'm English but am currently working abroad with work. I lost 21lbs between Apr 10- Jan 11 with Slimming World, but then I put on 11lbs because of moving into service accommodation where the meals are provided for you, are cheap and very good (but not that healthy). I have since lost 9 of those pounds being away from home as I have been using MFP and I have the time to exercise daily and select healthy salads etc.

My goal is to lose another 9lbs before 13 Jun, when I go home on leave. I have a Summer Ball to go to and I can't wait to buy a slinky dress for it. I also want to tone up and get fitter. I current'y run at least 5k a day (I can do more it is just too hot and takes up too much time that I don't have) and also swim but I want to do more strength training and firm up my bingo wings and belly. My second goal would be to get down to 126 lbs by the time I leave here in Oct.

I shall post my weight tomorrow, might not do measurements as I don't have a tape measure with me but will see what I can do with a piece of string and a ruler.

Good luck x

Good Morning, it is 0355 hours here and I have just been to the gym and weighed in (I work nights). I injured my knee yesterday so took it easy. Did a few weights and then just a 2.5k run at a steady pace. I weighed the same as yesterday which is 142lbs. I did try and take my measurements but they may be a wee bit off as I used a computer mouse cable and a 30cm ruler (the only things I had to hand in the office!!).

Weight: 142lbs
Waist: 72.5cm
Upper arm: 30cm
Thigh: 56.5cm
Calf: 38cm
Chest: 95.5 cm
Under chest: 81.5cm
Hips: 102cm
Neck: 35cm
Belly: 96.5cm

Hopefully later on this afternoon when I wake up I can get for a swim. Have a good day everyone. x

I'm ready for this. I've been losing steady, a pound a week about, since I started, but I'd like to see that go to 1.5 a week. Summer is coming of course. My mini goal is to get out of the 200's. I haven't seen that for about 26 years, so now is the time.
Have a great day everyone and it's great meeting you and having you to do this with!

I'm also looking for friends on MFP to take this journey with me...so please visit my profile and send me a friend request

I am still in.... i just can't post until later... So i WILL be back!!!

Just weighed this morning and I'm at 170.8lbs, not sure if the little extra is from Easter (I tried to be good lol) or my upcoming TOM but hopefully I'll drop before next Monday

Breast: 49 3/4
Waist: 49
Hips: 58 1/2
thigh: 26 1/4

Just got back from a long walk in the state park. trails and lots of hills, I feel it in my legs and honestly right now it feels great!! Everyone seems so ready to go, I love it!

I also weigh first thing in morning, (after trip to the bathroom of course) I usually don't work out in the morning, I work rotating shifts so I'm either starting work, or getting off work at 6 am. So, I'm an afternoon worker outer. But so far at least I'm getting it done

Hope everyone is having a great day, don't forget to drink and log your water all!
Mary

So i'm just back from the gym, did 5k in 30 mins but would really like to get under that by the end of the week. I didn't manage to get swimming yesterday but hopefully will today.

I weigh every time I go to the gym which is usually in the early hours of the morning, so I have had a full day of eating and drinking by then. So for my proper weekly weigh in I go as soon as I have woken up which is about 1430 in the afternoon.

Have a good day everyone. x
