CW 149 GW 140 H 5'7 I struggle with night time binges. I have been trying to lose for over a year and just keep slowly gaining. I need to get cravings under control. I work out regularly but cant added the benefits cause i over eat. Feeling is a losing battle but i hope i can turn that around.

Are you 5'7" if so you are my Twin. I'm trying to get down to 135 (baby steps). Add me if you'd like to motivate each other! Diana

OK i'm in as well.. i need to do something to kick me into high gear! 37 yrs old (although I feel like i'm still 30) 5' 7 3/4 " (that 3/4 sometimes makes a difference :) ) HW: 196 (pregnancy) CW: 142.2 GW: 135 (130 would be great but i'm pear shape so my upper body is nasty at that weight. I wish I could lose it in my butt…

I stop logging when I fall off the wagon. I feel why bother, it will just take too much time to type in all of the stuff i've eatten. LOL i know that's awful. I was doing so well on here for awhile but i got sick a few months ago and now I just can't remotivate.

I'm into the second book and i like it better then the 1st but so far i liked them both. I can't wait for the movie either, i hope they get someone good to play Christian!!! Yummy!

Me: 4 LNS: 1 I've really been making a concious effort not to snack and i'm doing it. One downfall but i wont beat myself up over it. I even had carmel on my fingers the other night when i was packing snacks and i washed it off instead of licking it! I heard the voice say "this wont hurt" then I ran to the sink!

This is definately for me! My worst time is when i'm making lunches for the next day, i feel i snack on everything in sight (or out of sight.. ha ha). My cut off will be 9 PM. And i'm definately open for suggestions and will need support!! Thanks for putting this together!

what is the idea behind eatting calories back? I felt when I was doing that I wasn't losing anything just maintaining. Also, i try to stick at 1500 cals per day and i'm 5' 7 weighting in at 142.4 on good days 144 all the other days.. ha ha. i'm also 36 years old.. and let me tell you in my 20's i was able to drop 8lbs (my…

I just finished the shred and am moving onto ripped in 30. I saw a lot of positives about it but I guess i'll see soon. My one thought is if you just finished the shred you probably lost faster because it was something totally new for your body. If ripped in 30 is not much different then you might want to add some extra…

Loved it, i'm just finishing up. Yesterday i believe was day 27. I took off today but will finish by next week and plan to start Ripped in 30! Common theme seems to be you don't lose much weight but you do tone up. I had the same experience. I did lose a few lbs maybe 3 but i was stuck at the same weight for awhile so it…

Did you do the 30 day shred before ripped in 30? I am finishing up the shred and thinking of getting Ripped next. Sorry i have nothing to add regarding 6 week 6 pack but you can probably alternate if that's less boring for you. Or if not finish ripped then move on to 6week 6 pack. Have fun!

I took a Zumba class lastnight at my gym. First, is it normal for the instructor not to talk? She just did the next move and we all followed along (or fumbled along). i was so lost and when I couldn't see her i felt paniced because i wasn't sure if anyone around me knew what they were doing either. I was definately stiff…

I want to get rid of my baby pouch! I miss my pre baby belly. Every time I sit now there's this big old rolly polly.. lol. And i'm doing 30 day shred right now and i feel i see some definition unfortunately there's a layer of flab on top of it.. that needs to go!

Definately lack of sleep makes me crave carbs all day long. I also work on a computer all day and i'm not really challenged at my job so I think i'm bored which leads to wanting to eat. Although sometimes like right now, i actually convince myself that i'm starving.. yet I ate lunch around 1:00 and theres no way I should…

Thanks guys! Zainy the weekend logging is big and probably what i'm lacking. I never login during the weekend and that probably makes it easier for me to cheat. Plus by Friday I am 3 lbs down and then by Monday i've gained it back again. Weekend is my downfall, i'll get better! Hot chocolate is a good idea, hot drinks is…

Candie you must be reading my mind today, I was just about to post the same thing. I have been yo-yoing for the past 6 months back and forth 5lbs and I want to lose about 15lbs! I have been working out 3 or 4 days a week for the past several weeks and my calorie burns have been up there. I find I keep making excuses on why…

Are we ever getting the google spreadsheet up and running, can anyone else do it? Start- 148 Wk 1- 147 Wk2- 146 2lbs loss, i'm a bit behind and need to step it up a bit. 2 more weeks and 8lbs to go hmmmm...

Last week weigh in: 148 This week weigh in: 147 Aunt flow should be here in the next day or so and I usually tack on 2lbs when she's around. By Friday of last week I was 145.6 so i'm hoping that is why I didn't maintain the loss but 1lb is still good, definately wont get me to my goal by February though. I got the new…

Congratulations you look amazing! And yes Success stories are very motivating! I actually went through IVF to conceive my son and was on a message board for that and just read all the success stories over and over again so I could stay positive and I really feel my positive attitude and the wonderful doctor I had gave me…

I never thought i'd eat Zuccini or Asparagus but now i put them on the grill (in the sumer) or in the winter i put them on a pan with some olive oil and garlic salt and roast it and wow i was really missing out! I also started eatting Avocado a few years ago and am in love with that as well! Thaks for the recipe's what is…

My starting weight is 148 and I will lose 10lbs by February :happy: Total goal is to be 135lbs by March 27th, totally doable! I just have to stay motivated and watch what goes in my mouth!

Sounds good to me, thanks for the updates!

I usually start the day off with some tea, no cream 1 sugar packet. I feel the hot helps to curb my appetite plus warms me up :) I find it hard drinking in general though. I have to make a concious effort to drink. I keep a bottle of water in front of me and force myself to take sips all day long.

I've been having a hard time commiting to a diet. I have 10 more lbs to get rid of my baby weight and then an additional 5 to go after that. I'm going to Disney in March and will be at my goal weight by then.. with a little help from my friends ;-)

I too have a sweet tooth, especially for chocolate or ice cream. Here are my snacks: Ice Cream Sandwiches- I personally don't like the Skinny Cow's, i feel they have the same aftertaste that diet soda has (which i hate). I actually compaired their nutricianl facts with a regular ice cream sandwich and the ice cream…

On saturday my scale reported 151 but today I weighed in at 154 again so i'm not losing but not gaining. blah.. How's everyone else doing?

Wow i'm so glad this question was asked and you guys gave some great tips! I'm big on ice cream and usually buy cake cones that way I can portion how much ice cream i eat. But I might check out those skinny cow ice cream bars and start investing in some jello! Thanks ladies!

I'm 154 today so that's a 1.2lb weight loss since last monday. I'm seriously considering weight watchers, has anyone done this before? I'm afraid if it's too much work though I wont stick to it. I am also going to start working out this week. This will be key for me to keep losing weight. I'm so done with looking at my…

Mondays are good for me too! I'm at 155.2 today. Although on Friday I was 154.. i did a little splerging over easter weekend! But i'm on track! Good Luck everyone!

I'm in! I had a baby in January and thankfully this time around I only gained 33lbs (as opposed to the 65 lbs i gained with my first pregnancy). I'm sleep deprived and nursing so finding time to work out has been very difficult.. but i'm also not motivated to eat right! I'm hoping this is just the thing to motivate me! SW:…
