Hey Claire594! Sorry I have been MIA - crazy busy weekend. I wish I could write notes on my cell phone. Congrats on the weightloss. You are doing great! SW: 206 W1: 0lbs W2: 4lbs W3: 2lbs CW: 200lbs Total loss for April so far: 6lbs Looks like we are on the same page. I have not weighed in the 100s since last October. I…

@Claire594: Thanks for the encouragement. This week was a long, busy week, but I have noticed a difference in my pants. I will take my measurements this week when I weigh in. I need to listen to my body more. I know when I do bad, now I need to take my own advice and be more conservative and moderate with my meals.

@skinnyallover: I believe in moderation. What we do in one day does not contribute to our overall health, however, knowing where and when to be moderate is the key. Maybe next time, instead of both the cake and ice cream, pick one. Some believe in having one cheat day per week. But the question is, how did you feel…

@Carrieadkins: So funny you mention a treadmill - so I have an elliptical and treadmill and they have managed to get pushed to the corner of my apartment! It is absolutely a great idea to have the treadmill at home, but also try to get outside. If the weather is good, enjoy the sun and spring months. Start a walk group. I…

@kamronluv: Glad you are here and making a conscious decision to make a change. We are all here to be accountable to each other. That is why I started the group. I have been with www.myfitnesspal.com for over 2 years but I have not taken it serious. And its a great website! Download it on your phone so that you have it…

@Claire594: No problem! I read that to make any fundamental change in weight, the typical 30 minutes a day will not do. Between 60 to 90 minutes a day (time can be broken up throughout the day) will make a difference. My cholesterol is at a level that I can still make a good change without medications, so losing the weight…

@Mario3790: Glad to have you on board. Take one day at a time. Making one good change will help in the long run. @imarlett: Moderation is the key. Limiting temptation does help. However, you need to replace it with good treats.

@Claire594: The Week Plan is a suggestion. Particularly because I have high cholesterol, I am working on trying foods that will help lower my cholesterol levels. What works best for you, please add so that others can read it and possibly learn from it. I do not believe in fad diets, but I do know that I cannot eat the way…

Lets go! SW: 198.4lbs 5/27/11 GW: 185lbs 7/4/11

So it doesnt seem like I will reach that 12lb weight loss goal, but I am glad that I started the journey and will take that small goal into the new year. With all the holiday parties and goodies, I still have a lot to work on regarding my willpower. But its just a seasonal thing. I cant undo what Ive done in 30 years in a…

Hey Everyone! Happy Holidays. Its so cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take advantage. Its the best time to lose weight. I lost 2lbs this week. Very exciting. Now lets see if I can break the 190 mark.

I would like to see 180 by the end of the year. So far, logging in my food intake has helped me manage the foods I eat and choose to splurge on. I cant go cold turkey or I will complete lose my mind and eat my fridge empty. lol. I still have 3 days to make a difference. ps: I just realized that my profile pic is in front…

So My first weigh-in today: 195.0. Thats a 5.5lb weighloss. I know much of this is water/bloating weight. I have been at this number for months now. Still encouraged as I did stay away from fastfood this week. Lets see what next week brings me.

I think I will be realistic this time and join this forum. I know that I need to lose 50lbs, but by Christmas, 12lbs would be awesome considering that I have been stagnant at 190lb for several months now. What day is weigh in?
