Did mine.....after my trip to the gym. :/ Probably should have done the squats first. lol!

Hi. I'm 43. I have 3 sons...21, 19, and 17. Feel free to add me. :)

Born American - Heritage - French, British, Irish, Italian, and American Indian. So basically a Hinze 57! lol!

Congrats! You are looking wonderful! You started about where I did! So nice to see your progress.....gives me faith that I will meet or exceed my December (short term) goal! Thanks!!

Get a big purse, and smuggle in healthy snacks and bottled water. When you pack your own healthy snacks you can have what you like. I have been known to pack my purse full of healthy goodies.....I usually have to pack a variety of stuff for my husband and three teenage boys. :)

Yeah....I'm working on this too! I have about 97 pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal (145ish)! I will be graduating with my BSN on 12/13/2013 and I would really like to be down to 170 (about 70 more pounds to shed) by that time. That is 11.6 pounds a month for the next 6 months. I think that is fairly doable...at least…

My husband experienced the "feet falling asleep" thing on the elliptical last week at the gym. Honestly, I thought he was crazy! lol! I have never experienced it, or even heard of it for that matter. After reading this, I guess it is sort of common.

I try not to "cheat" per say, but then again.....I do not have any food that is totally off limits. For me this works. I just try to make healthy choices that are part of my diet (lifestyle). So, with that being said.....sure I have candy or a piece of cake every now and then. But, the amount of the candy and cake are…

Walking will do it! I'm just really getting started, but all I was doing for cardio (until two weeks ago) was walking. By walking, strength training with weights, and dieting, I dropped over 20 pounds in about 6 weeks. Now, I am alternating between walking and the elliptical for my cardio. :smile:

Hi! I'm 43, but I started the first of May right about where you are. I was 268!! I was tired all the time, and EVERYTHING hurt. I could not walk a block without huffing and puffing! I am now at 243, and I feel SO much better! My ultimate goal is around 145, so I have quite a ways to go, but just dropping this 25 pounds…

Ugh!! That is the first part on me that shrinks! Mine will be the size of eggs before long. :sad:

I was able to put my wedding rings on! :) Before today, they had not fit in a year!

Hi! - Georgetown, Texas.....close to Austin.

Yep, I gave them up over a year ago for the same reason!

Yeah....me too. :embarassed: But, I will get to my goal!! I'm 43 5'4" SW 268 CW 248 December GW 170 Ultimate GW 145ish Feel free to add me! :happy:

Well, I can certainly understand where you are coming from. I will be graduating with my bachelor's in nursing this December, and my weight really hit me a month or so back. Let me tell you, while going through nursing school I packed on some serious weight....about 100 extra pounds. EEK! In April, I was mortified when I…

lol! I've lost an automobile tire!

I'm 5'4". My SW was 268, CW is 249, GW for December is as close to 170 as I can get. Long term GW is 145ish.

Hi! I'm 43. That weight will really just sneak up, and one day....wow! Yeah....I reached that point a month or so back. Now it is time to shed my layer of fluff! Feel free to add me.

This is pretty much the same as my story for the first month. I'm sure I will level off some in the months to come, but I will enjoy the 19 lb loss for now.

You sound just like me. I'm 43 and I have been playing that blame game for several years now. No more!! You can add me if you want.

Hi! I'm 5'4" too....and started out at 268. I have been at this a little over a month now, and I am down to 249. I'm currently in nursing school, so I can relate to stress. Feel free to add me. :)

Who's my twin? Age: 43 CW: 249 GW: 145 HT: 5'4"

Hi msjames1999!! Not exactly twins, but we are pretty close! Age: 43 CW: 249 GW: 145 Height: 5'4"

Hi Reepir! I have only been here a little over a month, but logging everything that goes into your body is key!! I have lost 19 lbs so far, and I still have about 100 lbs to go. If you want to add me feel free....we can tackle this "fluff" monster together!

Hi! I'm Dee. I have around 100lbs to go. I have been at it close to a month now and I am down almost 20 lbs. I would like to see 170 by December....not sure I will make it, but I'm going to try. :) Feel free to add me.

I was a soda drinker a while back. If I was thirsty, I just reached for a diet coke. Then we went on a cruise....lol! Well, sodas are not cheap on a cruise, and I refused to pay the price that they wanted. Talk about quitting cold turkey, well that is what I did. By the time we got home I was soda free for 7 whole…

That is exactly what I did the last time I lost weight. This time the "fat" clothes will go away! It is so easy to just pull a larger size out of the closet.....then before you know it....BAM! You are right back where you were a year prior.

I don't think that is weird.....I have a picture on my phone. Every time I want to cheat, I just pull it up. Sure changes my mind fast! :happy:

Ok....so here is the dress that I bought. I'm not even close to this top heavy, so there is no chance that I will be hanging out! lol (Hope these pictures post smaller that the last ones did.....still learning.)
