Please add me. I'm also in the same boat. 5'2 and 165 :( Heaviest so far

Feel free to add me. I'm 5'2 and started at 166 and am heading towards 120-125. I currently am at 154.5 and hoping to keep going at a steady pace. Making me a new person for Christmas. :) Like everyone say's , because we have little to loose it will take longer to get there but in the end it's worth it. Brittany

I am joining the club. I have been battling Depakote aka Depabloat weight since last December. I started at 126 pounds and ended up 2 months ago at 166 pounds. Yes I was not eating the best but honestly it wasn't any different from years previously. I finally talked to my Dr and told her that enough was enough and I…

Woo hoo. Did not know I could do that. I just fixed it. Now it really does show how much I've lost :)

Well my tip is water. Honestly when you feel hungry drink 16 oz of water ( not diet pop or juice) and wait 20 minutes. If you still feel hungry then find a high fiber or high protein snack and have 1 serving. I prefer celery sticks, peanut butter and raisins, it takes me back to child hood. Or if you'd like a small piece…

1. Drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water EVERY DAY - our bodies are primarily water and WILL NOT FUNCTION without the proper amounts. 64oz is an absolute minimum daily intake just for your body to function - so how do you expect to lose weight if your body is dehydrated?? I do this every day. I have one of the huge Starbucks…

As for the weight gain, I don't know if it's because it slows down metabolism or if it just made me eat more. I honestly couldn't tell you all I know is my body now believes that I should weigh 160 :( I am bound and determined with the help of my psychologist and medication changes to get this weight off because it's…
-
Well honestly, I saw a picture of myself and thought "wow what a face face". Mind you I'm only 20# overweight but I definitely have it in my face, and *kitten* lol. And then this last weekend my husband and I had our 6th anniversary and he took a picture of me and I wanted to vomit. Seriously I look totally different that…

Well nice to see I"m not the only one who's bipolar on here. So here's my story. I've been bipolar since 14. At that time I was just diagnosed with severe depression, the Dr. didn't take into account my massive twice yearly mood swings where I would be manic. Not manic to the point of going off the deep end and going…

Yes I would love to start the Shred with you. I have bought the dvd and have done it a couple of times but I would love someone else to work with. Please add me guys!
-
I also need accountablility as I can't keep myself motivated.

Thank you all for your insight. As for the question of not eating breakfast, technically the 12am-8am is my Dinner as I work nights, so that makes anything from 12pm-8pm breakfast and 8pm-12am lunch. It's very strange I know but since I work nights it works for me better that way to log it. As for getting more "milk" type…

Just an FYI I just picket up the 30 day shred for $9 :) at Target. Check it out, it may be cheaper than online. I start the 30 day shred tomorrow and I also have a Zumba fitness class starting this week.
-
Yup I'm a shorty :P I'm 5'2" and well I started at 160 :( I'm down to 152 but with changing medications that cause me to gain huge amounts of water weight I'm fighting a constant battle. Last year I was down to 135 :P and meds changed for the better and I ballooned back up. I'm a work in progress. My goal is back to 120 or…

LOLers this post is amazing! I can just imagine the look on my husbands face if I had a HRM on O_0

Wow DownHomeGal are you sure you're not a clone of me?? I've been married for 5 years to my husband whom I've known for 14 years ( I was 12 ), he's a Mechanical Engineer. I'm a Veterinary Technician at a 24 hour Emergency Clinic (42 hours of work in 3 days- 3 sweet 14 hour shifts) I have no kids but am "mom" to a 5 year…

Ok so I have been SUPER bad this weekend. I mean Friday/Saturday not that bad mainly cause I slept all day Friday so I could be a "real" person on Saturday but forgot that I had to work an extra night shift Saturday so pretty much didn't eat a whole lot for 2 days. Then Sunday I ate pretty good. Monday though OMG, I made…
-
Thanks guys for the great link www.exercisetv.tv looks great! I'm gonna have to check it out when I get home and work my *kitten* off. ATM work is super boring and well I'm pretty much sitting here doing, well not much. But I have to stay by the phone and look presentable in case of an emergency. Eh dogs don't care if ur…

MVM.com is down. Any other suggestions?
-
WOO HOO! Awesome job!
-
I also work nightshift but I only work 3 days a week,14 hour shifts! Talk about wacking up your sleep schedule. I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and then pretty much sleep all day Friday. The rest of the week I'm on a normal schedule but my eating habits change enough to make loosing weight hard. I am happy a 24 he gym…
-
I agree if there is a 24 hr gym close by I would try to join them. It makes it easier to go whenever you're avalible. When I was working 10hr days I knew I was going to be exhausted in the evening after work and driving home. I chose to get up a hour earlier to go to the gym work out and then go to work. It actually worked…

Welcome Kevin to MFP. This is a great place to help you stay on track for your fitness goals. If you ever have questions just post on the forums and I know someone will be able to help you. Just don't be shocked by the amount of calories it recomends as it may seem like just a little but when you start eating "healtier"…

aisser-- Well this month I've already lost 2 lbs although the ticker doesnt show it ;P I'm still on track to keep my wieght down and get back to a more healthy weight. I'm not going by numbers per say just going by how I feel and how I fit into clothes. How is everyone else?
-
Enell Sports bras are the BEST! You may be sticker shocked but it is well worth it. I've had mine for almost 6 years and it still works well. Best investment I've made for a bra ever.

Bump means Bring up my posts.. So you can easily find this thread by clicking on "my topics" at the top of the page. Brittany

Thank you SOOOO much for this website.. IT'S GREAT! I have so many new ideas for dinners now that maybe if I dont tell the hubby that they're "healthy" he might enjoy them :) Please BUMP it to keep this site fresh for the noobies. Brittany
-
Abbie, I'll join you. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by March 1st. I was down 13 pounds at xmas.. but alas the food got to me and it all came back. Daily exercise and a nice winter will have me working the garden sooner than later so it should help me stay motivated. Good luck all!
