I'm from SoCal but moved to Texas! Got a gym membership cause of my job which has helped me lose ma weight!

That's a good idea. I've been bad and bringing in candy and sweets I felt guilty for after buying them. I get some sort of sick satisfaction knowing someone else is eating them and not me... horrible I know... Veggies would be good though!

Wow. I thought I read up enough on acl tears. I didn't know they could deteriorate! I just thought it was something that couldn't get worse or better without surgery. I did get an MRI, that's when they told me about the tears and suggested surgery. But I never saw it as something urgent. I will follow up on that. Thank you.

I'm supposed to jump rope for 2 minutes on my upper body days. The rope at my gym is made out of this weird material and I get all tangled! I just run on the treadmill before doing my arms instead haha. And I got chocolate covered pretzel thins the other day. Thinking it'd be a nice healthy snack. I just kept on weighing…

I remember when I went back home to visit for a week I allowed myself to eat most things I usually deny myself. Full cheeseburger, full serving of fries, milkshake, peanut butter cups, mochi, cheesecake. Haha I still remember all I ate. I ate super clean the few weeks before so I wouldn't feel as guilty. And then clean…

I want to join too! My goal for this week is to work off the extra calories I ate yesterday. I'm gonna round it up to 200 that I need to burn. Hopefully I don't overeat more!! Today I had some tuna and eggs for breakfast haha. I need that protein. I workout at night so today I want to do upper body and some cardio. I don't…

I commend you for having the willpower to stay away from all that food!! And that's also a good thing you have to pay half for the meal. I feel the temptation would be too strong if it was free. My work every Tuesday has a company/restaurant that is featured on our early show and they always bring in food for the staff. On…

I binge eat. I think sugar or carbs is my trigger. Peanut butter and chocolate is my weakness. Sweets in general. I can't just have one. I binged on chocolate covered pretzel thins the other day. Tried to stay in proportion and went out of control. I binged on peanut butter cups. The calories in one is just ridiculous!…

I tried to weigh myself everyday recently at the gym but seeing the scale go up and down from day to day was discouraging for me. I'm not gonna weigh myself til the 1st of November. And maybe from then on every week or two. It helps to give myself a small goal to work towards and surprise myself even if it's a half a…

It's so hard for me to pass up free food. I have like a food hoarding problem lol. I'll tell myself I'll only take one or a very small portion. And usually the food they bring in is so high calorie that it take a good chunk of my calories away for the day. It's hard. Yea I try to bring low cal snacks with me. The tuna idea…

@lucyleigh4 what would you say got you down to the weight you are? Congrats on maintaining. That's motivation for me lol.

@TanyaHooton I know for me I've always had really chunky thighs. I started at 156 and after losing 20 pounds my thighs have barely budged!! Really. My waist got smaller but not my thighs, so jeans have gotten tricky lol. I'm hoping with more pounds lost my thighs will finally start to slim down. These last pounds are hard…

I'm 5'5" HW: 156 CW: 136 GW:115-125 (Keeps changing) Add me if you want to keep each other accountable. I'm constantly changing strategies until I get this right. Currently doing 1400cals/day + cardio/strength.

@avotarian haha yes I meant November! It seems I'm traveling backwards in time lol. Thx!

Hey! I'd like to join too! I'm trying to be realistic with my goals so as not to be disappointed when I don't hit them lol. I'd like to get to 134 by the end of this month the 31st! I think that's reasonable lol. I'm trying to go to the gym everyday; strength training and moderate cardio. 1400 cals/day. And I just decided…

Looking for a twin to help motivate! I'm having to work extra hard for these pounds! Age: 25 Height: 5'5" HW:156 CW:136 GW:120 My goal may be a few pounds lighter once I reach it. I try going to the gym almost everyday. Would love to tone and define my legs along the way as those have always been my troubles.

Thanks all for the help. I guess the weight loss is gonna be a bit slower than I hoped either way. It's been slow since I started haha but I'll keep trucking. I measure with a scale, measuring cups/spoons. It may be the cardio I'm overestimating. I don't wear a monitor, maybe I'll look into that. I try to do stair master,…

I just thought if I did the math and calculations right no matter my current weight I could lose a pound a week. I just like to see changes fast. I forgot to mention I'm 25. I was eating around 1,200 while doing my workout routine and was getting really cold. So I upped my calories a bit and tried to make up in exercise. I…
