Guess what!?!?!?!

Ok....as of this mornings weekly weigh in I am only down 1 pound and that seemed like it would never come off . All I know is that this is getting rediculous. Granted I have lost a total of 64 pounds since last August, which is great!! But I have completely stopped being able to lose anything in the last month and a half. I am figuring that my body is rebelling. Still have about 42 more pounds to go until my official goal. I think Thanks for letting me rant !!!! I am glad that you all are doing so well. Hopefully I will be able to join you soon!!!!

Wooooooo hooooo! I'm excited this morning. Down to 152.0. Only 2 more lbs to my Disney goal, and 12 more lbs to my overall goal.

It really looks like everyone is doing so well.

How about posting some before and after (or during) pictures? Anyone game? That is if I can figure out how to post pics, haha.

Just found this board and you women are all a wonderful inspiration!!! I too want to lose weight for Mickey!!! We are taking our first family trip to the World Dec 10th til 18th. I used to be thin (I was actually UNDERweight!) before I had my son. He will turn 3 while at the World and I weigh more now than when he was delivered!!! I am in my last year of Nursing School and between the crazy hours, being tired and stressed... well it doesn't help matters in terms of weight!!! So here's hoping that I can get back to the woman my DH fell in love with!

My Stats:
Age: 24
Weight: 234 (egh!)
Goal: 200 by WDW
Plan: Slim Fast with lots of fruits and veggies!
Exercise: Eliptical

Probably facing a derailment next month. I'm having foot surgery and won't be able to work out for 8 weeks.

Results Week #1:

Starting Weight: 188.7[/B]
Today's Weight: 186.4[/B]

Total Weight Loss: 2.3 lbs

Starting Weight July 1: 188.1 lbs
Weight July 8: 186.4 lbs
Weight July 15: 186.0 lbs HORRIBLE WEEK = had to take prednisone for 5 days for a flare-up but I STILL lost .4 which is HUGE when you are taking prednisone!!
Weight July 22: 185 lbs(and this is my period week )

So, plugging along. Found a Lean Cuisine breaded Fish meal for lunch at work that I !!! I squeeze fresh lemon on it and YUM!!

Good job everyone! Your posts inspire me to keep on chugging. The "BIG" picture tends to overwhelm me. But if I look at the long term results if I were to lose 3 lbs a month x 12 months = 36 lbs....I CAN do it!

Starting Weight: 202 (June 1)
Current Weight: 188
Goal for WDW Aug. 23: 179
Goal by Christmas: 142

Exercise: 3 to 6 miles running every day
20 minutes on WII Fit
Bench Press Reps every other day
Eating: No fad diet (they don't work), just eat less junk and balanced meals

The WII is what motivated me as every day it registers my weight and BMI. Yesterday I was .01 from changing to a new category, I'm excited.
Running was hard the first 40 days, now it is effortless and I find myself wanting to run more just for fun. The last time I did this back problems forced me to stop after only 3 weeks but I think the WII Fit Yoga exercises help a lot, zero back pain so far.

My weight varies and sometimes I go two weeks up and down getting nowhere but then the downward trend takes over again.

I just tried on my size 8 Lucky jeans and ----- they fit. Yay I don't have to listen to DH complain how much the damn jeans cost.

Congrats on your amazing weight loss!! Wow!! That is very impressive! You should be a role model to lots of people.

Okay - I have finally gotten all the baby weight off - and DD turns 1 next month! I am down to 128 and want to lose another 5-10 pounds before our Disney trip in September. Those last few pounds will be the hardest for me!

Any ideas for beating the cravings? I've been craving chocolate so bad that I'd probably chew my arm off form it. (But I'm allergic to it so I pay the price in a bad way) I've tried not eating it but I end up giving in later. I've tried eating a lollipop or 2 for the sweetness. I've tried sugarfree hot chocolate and chocolate milk. I've even tried rewarding myself with starbucks. Not working. I finished a devil dog and I licked the wrapper clean.

After a week and a half vacation, to the disworld and then some, I came back without a weight gain! This is amazing since I ate like a normal person (not like someone on a diet)! I'm glad the walking must have balanced it off.

While down there i became a DVC member , so now I have even more incentive to lose these last 10-15 lbs by next June!



As far as cravings as the last poster noted, I had them for about two weeks into the diet, and then they subsided. I no longer crave and if i do, it's more of a yen than a crave. Try to stick it out!

Have you tried Carob? I use to work at a coffee shop and this woman would come in with her son who as allergic to chocolate. She always made him Hot Carob instead of cocoa and carob chip cookies. I believe you can find it at health food stores. good luck.

Do you think it is healthier than chocolate? Right now I'm not concerned about the allergic reaction. It is more annoying than life threatening and I bring it on myself. My main thing is over coming the cravings. The cravings are killing me. DH has already had me pee on 2 sticks because the cravings are so bad. The other day all I wanted was beef. Now it's chocolate. I just wish I could get a veggie craving.

What in the world???!??

What in the world???!??

Not real sticks but pregnancy tests. I habitually have late periods so he was worried the food cravings meant I was pregnant. I think it is medication based cravings. I stopped the med last night and this morning I tried to eat a lollipop but it tasted too sweet.

By the way I just got a visit from the tag fairy. WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!
