    same here a heck of a long way i have 68 lbs to reach 160lbs then i need another 15 to be at my goal weight of 145!!! :S arg!!! gonna be hard!

    I have about 20 pounds to reach ONEDERLAND! Can't wait for that feeling. It's been such a long time. I weighed in this morning and seems like I have again ended up in Plateauville BUT I measured and I'm down 1 1/2 inches at my waist and 1 1/2 inches at my hips. But the girls up top seem to be stubborn and not cooperate! I keep reading on here that those are the first to go, NOT FOR ME! Wish they would.

    Of course it's gonna be hard but isn't it worth it? I FEEL WONDERFUL!

    Ok so you have a set amount of calories to go by daily. Well zigzag them by maybe one day eating a little more than u are supposed to. And the next day eating fewer than what u are supposed to have. Trick your body. It'll finally give. LOL.

So far I am proud of myself because I have not given into any temptations and have stuck to eating healthy. I am looking into getting the Zumba Wii game to help make a workout more fun, reg exercise is borning to me. Oh well so just wanted to say hello and good luck to all!

    I've heard that 1-2 pounds a week is average, and anything more than that, it's easier to put the weight back on... not sure if that's totally true or not though. I know I've been happy with that amount every week!


    p.s. Feel free to add me as a friend!! :)
