Well I started with the Diet Tribe too, but with finals and my mini session, I have done horrible the past 3 weeks. I'm starting over today and I'm hoping I can get down quick. I have a big problem with cheating, not just one day, but Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm hoping if I can keep my cheating down and my work…

I'm so in! It's already bikini season here down south! I'm definitely NOT happy with the size I am right now. Current Weight: 148.8 Goal Weight 130/135? I'm not sure. I have a medium build and I don't want to be too small. I am counting calories and not drinking alcohol except for on weekends. I'm also giving myself one…

BTW that was in response to nrjohnson's previous post about what to eat.

I know they have a lot of sodium but I like smart ones a lot. I usually eat those everyday for lunch so that I know exactly how many calories. For dinner I cook a healthy meal.

OK so I definitely have to start over this week. Finals have really screwed me up! I haven't been properly dieting the past 2 weeks and haven't worked out any. I didn't make my mini goal for the island trip, but I did take pictures so I could start to measure my progress. Don't make fun. It's far from where I want to be.…

anyone have side ideas?

yum!!! I want to try this too!

Sorry I'm late on my weigh in. I've had finals this week and been super busy! 4/13/09 153 (starting weight) 4/20/09 150.8 (-2.2) 4/29/09 147.8 (-3) So... Not where I hoped to be by now. Last Thursday I started cheating a little and it just got worse as the week went on. I haven't worked out since last Monday. :( Yesterday…

I'm not looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow. I cheated a lot the past 4 days. Pretty sure I gained :(

Yeah I'm accounting major so I can't do anything at the gym. It's all sitting and writing.

I've been slipping too zara. I have still been staying under my calories but I haven't worked out since Monday! I have noticed my energy has dropped so much since I haven't worked out so I am definitely going to try to get back on that today!

Yeah I use my home scale everyday. Even if the actual weight is a little off it doesn't really matter because if it decreases from the starting number you're still losing!

I think I went over my calories. I forgot my tuna to go so I went to the coffee shop on campus and all they had were sandwiches. I got a Whole Wheat Bagel with roast beef, two slices of swiss cheese, and au jus. I had 595 cal left for the day. Do you think I went over?

So how bad is eating late? I go to school from 2-9:15 on Tuesdays and I hate buying food because I don't have that much time in between classes. Today I'm bringing a tuna to go lunch to eat before my 6:30 class starts, but I'll be nowhere near 1200 cal. I think it will be like 800? I won't have time to work out today. Is…

If you're working out maybe you're losing inches and gaining muscle which weighs more than fat.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I also started my diet with online support 4/13. Something had to change this time and I'm thinking this support might help! 4/13 I weighed 153 and 4/20 150. I don't think I could do 30 days of exercise. That's a lot of gym time!! Hopefully I'll get that motivated one day! I'll try for…

Wow that's great! Is this a group? Can I join?

Any other 20 something year olds? I think it would be good to get a support group of younger, especially college aged kids with the same type of lifestyle and such for support and motivation.

Thanks... I know numbers don't really matter but I would just like to know what I'm working towards. Oh and that picture was taken last Nov or Oct Kechie. I was probably only 5 lbs smaller, around 145 probably more, and still wanted to lose but thanks!

I know that I am not the size I want to be but how many inches should I lose? What are measurements of fit women?

Be careful about covering up too much. Sometimes when trying to find a covered bathing suit it shortens your torso and you end up looking bigger. If you don't have much rolls and you're just wide, you don't want to go looking like a grandma. I'm pear shaped and very bottom heavy so I buy larger bottoms so it doesn't…

Anyone take diet pills? I want to start doing something so I can get off max weight in 2 weeks.

So I didn't do too well Friday because I got snacky but I did go work out! I didn't really count Saturday even though I didn't eat very bad and drank some wine. Then last night I did really bad b/c my family had a thing where I ate fried fish, potato casserole, and fried okra. :( I still expected to be under 150. I can…

I know I shouldn't but I have been a freak about weighing myself everyday. I have gone down about a pound a day. This morning I was 149.4 and I'm glad to be out of the 150s. Unfortunately I usually plateau at about 145 146. That's my breaking point and I give up and start eating horribly again. I have done at least an hour…

Oh I want to join. I'm not sure I want to lose 30, but 25 would be alright I guess! I don't know... I've never been there so it's hard to tell if that would be too small for me! I missed the weigh in Monday but I started dieting Mon too. I weighed 153 Mon morn. Today I weigh 150 with these measurements.... Waist 29.75…

What should I be doing? I don't really want to be muscular. Just tight yet delicate looking. Right now all I'm doing is about 1 hour of cardio and then sauna when I go to the gym. Any suggestions?

Anyone want to do a weekly weigh in group? When I was doing weight watchers it helped that I had to face someone and weigh in every week. Maybe it would help to post our weights every week?

Hi I'm Loren. I'm 21 years old and this morning I weighed 153 lbs. I'm only 5'5 so right now I am 3 lbs overweight. I'm hoping to get on the lower half of my weight range and lose 23 lbs. Hopefully I can do this by July for my husband's work convention in Florida.
