Life's not fair, My Dh eats junk and eats out constantly and never gains an ounce. I've seen him sit down and eat 2 whoppers and fries. I just don't get. He says he works it off but i know better.

You can count me in with the weight loss...I've started two weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds...need to lose about 50...

 

[VACAMPER]

I'm so excited. This is just what i needed to get out of my slump.

How odd is it that all 3 of us have the same issues with the older/younger daughters ??

Good for you. No fair though you got a head start. lol

 

[terri01p]

Went out tonight and ate Mexican, I'm sure that put back on about two pounds.

Odd isn't it. Motivating also. We can help these girls now so their not us in 20 years.

Welcome !! Do you have 50 MORE you want to lose ?? If so that is 3 of us with a 50 lb. goal

 

[terri01p]

To be honest I could really use to lose about 55 more pounds....oh that sounds so scary !

 

[VACAMPER]

You can do it!!!

 

[VACAMPER]

I think we scared all the men off tonight.

Young adults lose weight so fast, it seems it just drops off of them if they set their minds to it....not like me I have to really suffer !

Well, if I wanted to get back to the weight I was when I got married I would need to loose 65 lbs. I will stick with 50, I think it is more realistic for me. I hope.

I know, where are they all? Must be out, gettin lit, as they say. We will hear all about it tomorrow.

 

[VACAMPER]

I don't think i'll ever be what i was when i got married. My husband probably wishes that i could.

50 pounds is what I'm going for now...not my perfect weight, there's not enough days in a year for that...hehe

 

[VACAMPER]

I hope i'm as motivated on Mon. morning as i am now. By fri. i'll just be grouchy.

What weight loss programs are you guys thinking of using?

ROFL....I think you're right !!

I have found it is better to be realistic rather than set yourself up for "failure". Set a reasonable goal based on what size you think you could maintain. Size is more important than numbers on the scale, kwim ?? It's almost impossible for women in their 30's to obtain the old standard based on your height/age. I'd weigh like 115 pounds and that just ain't gonna happen I weighed more than that when I was a healthy size 6. I've always weighed more than people thought. I just carry it differently I guess.

I have a treadmill that I've just cleaned off after 3 years, God where am I going to put all these cloths now...hehe

I didn't follow a program before and probably won't now. I just simply ate less and worked out more. I kept it under 1500 calories a day and got my heart rate up for one hour a day, five days a week doing some type of workout. I like to do cardio/weight training during Ellen at 10:00am
