How are you feeling about your weight loss journey?
I am feeling excited and motivated once again for my weight loss journey! That is HUGE for me, because I have realized that I just can't force motivation. It has to be genuine...... from the heart, at least for me. I look forward to fitting into smaller clothes, being healthier and more attractive, and being a good role…

Every little victory adds up to success.......... and ~ eventually ~ that dreaded scale must follow!!! :laugh: I will start…

Goals
My overall long-term goal is to lose 75 pounds and get to a healthy BMI for the first time in many years. My short-term mini goal is to get to 210 pounds. I currently weigh about 220 pounds. I have been overweight for far too long now. I want my good health back!!!

Exercise ~ Just do it!
Just finished walking on the treadmill for 40 minutes. I burned 285 calories! :D Feelin' good right now! I am glad I did it, which I need to remember the next time I resist hopping on that treadmill. Sometimes, I need to borrow the saying from Nike and "just do it!"

What food program or strategy are you following?
I finally had an appointment with an endocrinologist, who determined that I am INSULIN RESISTANT. It causes my body to hold onto weight, which causes weight gain, which makes me even more insulin resistant, etc. It is a snowball effect. She said we need to STOP the snowball and push it back up the hill. She is currently…

STARTING OVER!
If anyone is lurking, please post so that we can get this group going again!!! I still firmly believe in the concept that in order to lose weight, we need to get our MIND in the right place first. I have been working on this for a long time, but I am STARTING OVER once again with counting calories here at MFP. I was…

Please join me!!!
I am sooooooo frustrated with myself and once again at an all-time high weight. :frown: It seems that I cannot lose one pound, let alone the 65 pounds that I need to lose to get to an "acceptable" weight! But...... tonight, I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and did some strength training with free weights. I am NOT…

Sorry I am a bit late in posting Friday morning's weigh-in. I wasn't eager to report that I was UP 2.2 pounds. So now I am almost back up to my highest weight again......... YIKES!!! :sad: I really need to get my eating under control and buckle down and get this dreaded weight OFF ~ once and for all!!! I am sick and tired…

4/6/13 Weigh-In
Sorry I haven't posted a weigh-in for awhile. Not sure if anyone is still reading. I weighed in today, and ~ after our trip to Florida ~ I am UP 3 pounds. Not at all happy about that, but it could have been worse. I will get those calories off ASAP!!! And then some!!!

One thing I am proud of myself for today is ....... !

EXERCISE!
I just finished riding the recumbent cycle (stationary bike) for 30 minutes!!! Feelin' great!!! I thought that having an "exercise" topic might encourage us to "just do it" so we can post our progress! Hope it helps! :wink:

2/28/13 Weigh-In
Sorry I forgot to post this topic sooner. I am up a pound this week. :frown: I know it is just a number, but it is depressing me and making me feel defeated. I need to get my head in the game and begin again in the morning. Haven't worked out the past couple of days either. Not good! :embarassed:
-
2/21/13 Weigh-in
Hello Everyone! I actually forgot to weigh in this morning, but I weighed in on Monday and Wednesday of this week and had maintained the exact same weight as 2/14/13 (my last weigh-in), so that is the number I will stick with for this week! I ate Valentine candy and had that big Italian meal, so I am okay with a maintain.…
-
2/7/13 Weigh-In
I thought I put this topic up on Thursday, but I don't see a 2/7/13 weigh-in. My scale broke (YIKES!), so I had to weigh myself on an older scale and it showed that I was several pounds down. I don't trust it and will weigh-in again on a new scale next Thursday for a more accurate weight. I can't wait to be in ONEderland…

1/31/13 Weigh-In
Hip, hip, HOORAY!!! I lost 1.2 solid pounds this past week!!! :happy: I say "solid pounds" because I have been working really hard on my weight loss goals. I am tracking my food, planning my meals, and sitting down to eat meals slowly and mindfully, along with getting more consistent with exercise. I am on my way!!!…
-
1/24/13 Weigh-In
Well, after an incredible weight loss last week, I gained 2 pounds back this week. :sad: I am soooooooo sick and tired of yo-yo'ing!!! :frown: I really thought I would at least maintain this week, so I was pretty bummed when I stepped on the scale. I did not work out much this past week, though, so that must have made the…

Once I reach my goal weight, I am looking forward to:
feeling healthy (without aches and pains) and looking more attractive and fitting into really cute clothes! Oh, and ~ this time ~ I look forward to MAINTAINING my weight loss!!! :wink:

1/17/13 Weigh-In
Hip....Hip.....HOORAY!!!!!!!!! I worked my butt off this week, both eating well and exercising fairly consistently, and it paid off with my biggest weight loss in years!!! I lost 4.2 pounds since last week's weigh-in!!! And this time, rather than taking the loss as an invitation to slack off this coming week, I will use it…
-
1/10/13 Weigh-In
Well, I finally remembered to weigh in on Thursday! I had little gains the previous two weigh-ins, but finally had a small loss at today's weigh-in. I have recommitted myself to this journey in 2013 and did much better with food choices and exercise this past week. I was hoping for a bigger loss, but I am just happy the…

1/3/13 Weigh-In
Can't believe it, but I forgot to weigh in yet again!!! With the hustle and bustle of school starting back up this morning, I just completely forgot! I will weigh in tomorrow morning, but feel free to add your weight loss (or gain) now. Hope everyone is doing well! It's been pretty quiet in this group!

12/13/12 Weigh-In
Hello Everyone!!! I am posting this topic before I weigh in so that others can post their stats. Had to get up early with a sick teenager who will be missing 3 tests today..... the last day of the quarter..... at a tough preparatory high school. It seems there is never a dull moment around here!!! Hope everyone else is…
