That is amazing!!! 43 lbs since Nov. I am so impressed.



I only lost .2 lbs in the last 2 weeks Better than a gain I guess.
I need to get back to exercise. I already have a walk planned for tomorrow

Deb if I had done 42 lbs since Nov I would be ....you do realize that is since Nov 2005. I have been doing this for over a year now & it is coming off very slowly. I better check my post & see that I need to edit it. That would be some darn fast, no surgery, no pills weight loss wouldn't it?????????

First Goal: Lose 10 pounds by March 1st
Second Goal: Lose another 20 pounds by Dec. 1st

I am going to watch what I eat & curb the sweets. I will also drink more water. I will try to start walking more for exercise & then once I lose some weight, I will concentrate more on exercising.

I want to be able to fit into my smaller clothes & not cringe when I look at myself in the mirror. I tell everyone that I am happy with myself & this is me. But I am not & I need to quit trying to kid myself.

Start weight: 1/02/07 - 160 lbs
1/9/07-158 lbs Loss of 2 lbs
1/16/07- 157 lbs Loss of 1 lb
1/23/07 - 155 lbs Loss of 2 lbs
1/30/07 - 153 lbs loss of 2 lbs

That is not impossible. I lost 50 lbs in 4 months on Atkins in 2003. Kept it off too for about 1 1/2 years, then I slowly regained 12 lbs and joined WW. Those 12 lbs are gone and now I'm working on what I didn't lose the first time.

2 lbs is great. I'd be happy with that. I seem to be lucky to lose less than a lb a week at this point Oh well, it will all be gone someday

This what I keep trying to tell myself!

I haven't lost anything this week, but that's ok, I know it goes in spurts...I m going to continue to watch what I eat, drink lots of h2o and excercise.


Good job everyone, keep up the good work.

That's a good attitude. I know that I am up this week too. I've been bad and my pants are a little tight. Good motivation to get back on track. I will weigh in today and see how bad it really is.

You ladies are very motivational -- I just wanted to say what good jobs you are doing, and to keep it up!

Exercise: 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week, with weight training twice a week
Diet: Weight Watchers flex
64 ozs of water a day

PROGRESS:
1/7/06: 20 pounds to go
1/14/06: 19 pounds to go, exercised only 2 times
1/21/06: 19 pounds to go, sick (Sinus Infec)
1/28/06: 18.5 pounds to go, no exercise b/c SI
2/25/06: 17.5 pounds to go, elliptical 5x week
6/22/06: 7.5 pounds from WW goal!!!
02/07/07: AT Goal (but only first thing in the morning)

Now I need to lose 3 or 4 more so that I weigh at goal with clothes on as well as after a cup of coffee!

As many of you know, my weight started going down again when my mother got sick. I suddenly realized I was at goal, but it's been so hard the last couple of months to keep the weight off. I really don't think I was ever meant to be a small person.

Once I'm healthy again (rid of the sinus infections and current flu bug) I'm going to try to help control it with exercise. I really need to commit to the exercise if I want to keep the weight off. Also, I think getting involved in this thread again will help.

the exercise commitment is the one that seems most difficult. I have the worst time making myself exercise even though I know that I must if I want to make and stay at goal. I keep hoping that warmer weather will bring motivation. I'm sure I'll come up with some other excuse when the warmer temps come
