that's so true!! I have to remember that!! I get compliments all the time, and people are saying i'm losing weight, yet my scale has been within the same 5 lb range for weeks!

I turned 30, 3 months ago. I started my weighloss journey when I was 29, so I know how you feel. This is a great community and I'm sure you'll be successful. Good Luck!! Sending you a request!

I am totally in your boat, and I am trying the same thing. This is definately not recommended for everyone, and it's not meant to be long term. My reasons for doing this is to detox from a weekend of eating what ever I want. (The weekends are my cheat days) I weigh-in on Saturday, so I have Saturday and Sunday to eat and…

I just love food, waaaay tooo much!!!

I totally get what you're saying with the large breasts, I'm 5'41/2 and I weigh 174 lbs. My breast size is a 36F (I know it sounds like a porno size). I have a small back, but large breasts. Anyway, My goal is to get to 150 lbs. size 8-10. For me, I've never looked my weight. When I was at my biggest 232, no one believed I…

definately!!

So, how is it going so far?

never heard it put that way, and you are exactly right!! the physical part is SOOO much easier than the head part!! I gotta remeber that!!

*weightloss can't seem to spell lol

Every weekend, I don't track. I just enjoy my time with my family. Sometimes, I slack off for an entire week. The "weekends off" motto, doesn't bother me, mainly becaue I weigh-in on Saturdays, but the entire week offf does. I always get back on track, but it has hurt the time frame of my progress. It seems to me, that…

Great Response!! Took the words right out of my mouth!!

I feel the same way. I prefer my diary to be personal, because this weight loss journey for me is personal. On the other hand, I use this site, and the people as additional tools of encouragement, not dietitians.

you couldn't have said it any better. Who actually has the time to check everyone's diary. The point is at least you're being accountable to yourself by tracking. Again I say, Good Job!!

Absolutely love Zumba!! Doesn't even feel like a workout!!

when you NEED a new belt, lol

I totally know how you feel..I'm planning a wedding, finishing my bachelor degree in school, work full-time, and trying to survive in a family of 5 (3,5,and 9-two boys and a girl) who happens to be very active w/ school and sports. so BELEIVE me, I know all about being busy. (not to toot my own horn :smile: ) But someone…

good for you!! keep your smile, and never quit:smile:

travel the world!!! beautiful post BTW.

when people call you "Pookie" from New Jack City...lol

lol

It's one thing when people tell you you're losing weight, it's another thing when you finally SEE for yourself...yeah, that's where I'm at now.

good question...hmmm...let me think....my theme song is...Damn she's a sexy b*tch. I forget who sings it. I also like, Sexy and I know...by LMFAO. and Work Out Plan by Konyay West (I know I spelled Konyay wrong, lol)

my face tends to look gaunt...

pep talks, don't work for me...i literally refuse to think. looking for something quick and snappy to get out of my eating trance, when i have one...any suggestions?

boredom....hmmm....kinda both. more emotional i think, but can def lead to impulsive.

DEFINATELY THE NUTRITION...KNOWING THAT YOU CAN'T AND SHOULDN'T EAT EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS HARD TO ADJUST TO.

OMG, did you take a page off of one of my "Pity Party" Blogs? I know EXACTLY how you feel....the best advice I can give you (not like you haven't gotten enough GREAT advice already) is never give up. Even when I slack off drastically for no reason, I ALWAYS get back on the horse....no matter what. The way I look at it,…
