My son, I started out in life overweight and I dont want the same for my son. I make sure he eats healthily and nutritiously but I dont want to be one of those parents who say "Do as I say, not as I do". I want to not only be a good role model to him but to also be healthy for him so I can enjoy as much time as possible on…

bumping for the noms

Hey everyone, Im 23, a wife and mother to a 4 year old boy and also work full time and looking to lose more than 30 pounds. I just started this site yesterday but have already saw how much of a positive impact that it is having on my journey to a healthier me. Please feel free to add me because I would love as much support…

All I can say as of now is I really think I got this! lol Not expert "got this" but in the right mind state and now equipped with the knowledge to help me get to where I want to go. In the past Ive dreaded losing the weight (well dreaded what it took to get there) but this time around Im actually really happy about it.…

Thank you, seems to be that moderation is key!

Thank you bwogilvie, Ill be sure to come back and give those links a read and see if I can find a copy of that book around here ( I love to read so why not start reading about something that pertains to my life eh?). Im going to go for a jog with my husband here shortly so Ill be sure to check that out and check back in…

Honestly I dont mind most "healthy foods" and so far this time around it seems to be working in my benefit because I find that I can eat a lot more of healthy foods than I can eating say some of the marketed diet foods etc out there that I have tried in the past. I think that as long as I can find a variety of easy ways to…

Never heard of any of those things except for the water weight/ retention so Ill definitely look those up! Thank you, its nice to hear I dont necessarily have to restrict a lot of calories to get healthier. Looking forward to the new information I obtain after looking that up! I have a long way to go but I'll get there…

Thanks for the help guys, even though I just restarted using this site yesterday I began trying to be more healthy on Monday. I ate some hard boiled eggs, a grilled chicken salad with no dressing and a banana and went to the gym and did 20mins on the elliptical and some leg exercises on a few machines (really not sure what…

Thats great news to hear about skin elasticity and youth because Ive been really obsessing over how I will look once I drop the weight. Hoping that steady excercise (not sure which is best) will aid in that as well!

Hey I wanted to say thank you for all of your suggestions and for helping fix my "ticker". I have my target weight (125 pounds) and my current weight (180 pounds) and yet I dont believe it says I need to drop 55 pounds even though the info I have added is correct. Also, it says I am only looking to drop 1.5 pounds per week…

I am still trying to figure this site out and if it says I am only trying to lose about 35 pounds thats nonsense and I need to figure out how to change that haha I realistically need to drop about 50 pounds to be at a healthy weight for my size. Im definitely cutting calories but I am also interested in eating healthy and…

HI! Im a 23 year old woman who has since childhood been overweight/obese according to the BMI chart. I am a petite girl at only 5ft3 on a good day haha but weigh just about 180 pounds now. I learned of this site a few years ago but never followed threw with it but this time around I am completely determined. I am married…
