I too have battled all my life. Even in high school all my friends were thin, but I was considered bigger. I am 37 years old now and I have to work hard to lose weight and keep it off. I have found out that bad carbs put weight on me in a flash!!! Lots of great support on here!

Lots of support on here!

I am leaving for our annual trip to Jamaica to a 5 star all inclusive..... Previous years I have gained anywhere from 4-9 pounds. I still have not gotten to my goal weight so I hope when I get back I am in the mindset of working hard to lose what I have gained plus losing the additional pounds I wanted to.

And we go to an all inclusive in Jamaica every year. I have never put on more than 6 lbs.... Mostly water weight though. Comes off pretty quickly.

I will be at one in Jamaica in 11 days 17 hours and 22 mins...... (who's counting???? lol) I plan to workout 3-4x while there. And just try to load up on as much veggies and fruit as possible!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Jude.... I am just in panic mode because I lost a bunch of weight for this vacation and was within 5 pounds of a weight I wanted to get to (not overall goal) and then to see a gain was a bit upsetting. I feel bigger but maybe that is just my head. I appreciate your comment. Right now I am focusing on the scale…

I am 19 days from a trip to Jamaica and 5 lbs from my goal...... Not sure if I am going to hit the goal. But I guess close to 40 pounds should be rewarded with a trip :smile:

Yes, always on my bathroom tile floor in the same spot. It gives me different #'s so I have to go with the one that shows the most! lol I think I got it early in 2008.

I have a Weight Watchers scale that is from sometime in 2008. I am wondering if it is getting too old therefore goofing up. I say this because I can get on the scale 3 different time and it seems to register a different #. So I have to weigh several times till I get 2 of the same #. I replaced the batteries about a month…

I take it per my trainer. Been taking it for 5 weeks now along with a switch to Clean eating. Was down 10.5 lbs in 5 weeks.

I am 5'4" and currently weigh 140.3. My goal is 130-135. I have noticed my stomach starting to go down since starting "clean eating".

Everyone's bodies are different. You have to do a little experimeting that is what i had to do. I didn't lose eating my exercise calories. After trying it for a month and half. I finally stopped eating my exercise calories and bam I started losing. I think it is attributed to my years of yo yo dieting. But that doesn't…

ST LOUIS BLUES AND CARDINALS!!!!

Jamaica in 25 days!!!!!! :happy:

I have steel cut oatmeal with a little bit of splenda and blueberries.

Glad I found this thread. I should know this, but this helps to make me feel better about my lack of losses this week. I haven't gained, but I havent really lost. I have Mirena and still get light TOM's each month, but I guess I still have all that comes with a normal TOM.

Lots of support on here! Add me!

Hey there! I am about 8 lbs from my short term goal and about 14.8 from my long term goal! Feel free to add me!

I don't. I did a trial and error and found out I lose best when I do not eat exercise calories. I always gained or stayed same when I ate them. Everyone's bodies are different and will lose in different ways. My years of yo-yo dieting may have made me only to lose the way I am now. But I feel great, I eat clean and I…

Ileave in 4 weeks for an all inclusive vacation to Jamaica my husband and I take every year. My goal is to work out 3-4 times while I am there. I usually put on up to 5 pounds, but mostly water weight. I just know when I get back I have to get back on track to get that weight off and work on getting the remaining that I…

You can add me, I am always looking for support and looking to support others!

I have been noticing the week before and first couple of days I go into a stall or put on a little. I have been on Mirena for 1 yr and 3mths now and Dr. said they should go away but they haven't yet. :sad: Mine are only a few days long, which is better than what it was.

saw this thread, we leave in 4 weeks for our annual trip to Jamaica!!! (We stay at Couples Resort chain) Having a trip planned is helping me to stay accountable to my weight loss! :happy:

I have been losing for my upcoming annual trip to Jamaica. With all the pina coladas and desserts at the 5 star resort we stay at I always put on 5-10 pounds :( I will be hitting the gym everyday if possible at the resort! I am planning on just doing what I am doing now when I get back to get off what I gain plus try to…

Loved see this thread, I was stuck in the low 150's for awhile and now I seem to be stuck in the low 140's.... Seems like my body just fights to go to the next set of 10's. I definaltey still have weight to lose, mostly in my mid-section. With a medium frame I should be 124-138 and I weighed in at 143.8 this morning. I…

I am getting one in a few weeks before I leave for Jamaica. If it helps for a couple weeks that is all I need :smile:
