What is the most weight

[charming23]

Currently I have lost 32lbs and hope to keep going. It is the most I have ever lost and kept off for any period of time.

I gained 40lbs while pregnant and have lost all but 5. I'm working on that last darn 5 lbs!!!! It just wants to stay with me!

I lost 30 pounds while pregnant with DS8 then gained it all back . I started losing weight last summer without trying and have lost a total of 19.5 pounds so far

Losing pregnancy weight was very easy as I was in my 20's. 32 lbs and 27 lbs both lost in less than 6 months. I now find it very difficult to lose (I'm 51) and I have been walking 3-4 miles 4-5 days a week for the last 2 years. I do not overeat (no food compulsion or bingeing or anything like that), no soda, but I do love having a couple of glasses of wine a few days a week. I did lose 14 lbs in 2007 but gained that plus another 5 back. I lost 10 last year (6 from food poisoning and additional 4 after that) but gained it all back. I've actually lost about 3 lbs over the last 5 weeks, but it's very, very slow going.

60. After my first child. I went into that pregnancy overweight and then put on 30 pounds. I was miserable by the end. Felt much better during my second pregnancy when I was in the proper weight range.

I still tend to yo-yo 15 or 20 pounds every year. High in the winter, low in the summer. I have no drive during the winter months and tend to crave more carb-heavy foods. I can't explain it, but winter kicks my butt.

I did a little better this year. I still ate more poorly, but I kept up the excercise. Having a partner helped keep me accountable so I didn't let the workouts slide.

Let's see on 1/2/10 I weighted 167 - I got down to 128 last summer
at the moment I'm at 131 (got back to 140 over the winter)

hubby & I are weighting ourselves every morning & writing it down in a spiral by the scale - that helps keeps the lbs from coming back

I want to get down to 120 - I'm 5'5" so that should be a great goal

Lost 85 and kept it off for 5 years, then gained 100 back after moving in with my DH I need an environment that is free of junk food because I know I have no will power. DH buys cookies, cakes, candies, bakery like it is going out of style. I don't see any way to ever lose it while we are married unless he decides to be supportive and keep that stuff at work the way I keep asking him to

So far 38 lbs. Really am working hard on losing another 20 before our trip to Disney in September. My problem is that I will lose 3-4 lbs and then it is like my body panics and I get stuck for 4-5 weeks before I start to lose again.

I've lost 40lbs since January. Sad part is....I have no idea how?? No diet, no excersize, no change in routine. It's just melting off me.

Have you had your sugar levels tested. That is one of the symtoms of Diabetes. Weight loss for no reason.

From my heaviest ever (242.5) to my lightest ever (115).... 127 pounds. Not really proud of it - I shouldn't have been that unhealthy to begin with.

I joined the Air Force in 1968 under a weight loss program called MREPs. Medical Remedial Enlistment Program. I lost 95 pounds in 7 weeks (26 of that was on the first day). Amarillo, Texas can be pretty hot in June so most of that one day thing was water weight. Fun times.

On the down side...I spent the next 40 years putting it all back on again. It's way harder to lose it now.

After I had my 2nd son in 1998, I lost 64 pounds...but the pounds crept back and brought a few friends with them!

Since August 1, 2010, I've lost 61 pounds! I'm feeling much more in control now and much smarter about my weight. My cholesterol and trygliceride levels were way too high. Now they're both in the normal range. I simply can't let them creep up again and that means keeping the weight off. I want to lose another 28 pounds. It's coming off more slowly now, but I know it will happen if I stay the course!

95lbs in 7 weeks??? 26 in one day???? How is that even possible

i lost 190 pounds after gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago, but have gained about 15 of it back. at least, i hope that's all-i don't own a scale, so i don't know for sure, but my jeans are starting to get uncomfortably tight. i'm a compulsive eater, and fought the urge successfully for 6 years, but it seems to have beat me again, i can't stop. i KNOW when i put something bad in my mouth that it will cause weight gain, but i eat it anyway. it's not like i don't care, i REALLY do care, a LOT, but i just can't stop it.

I'm sorry, this post just stuck out to me as a cry for help.

You've kept it off for SEVEN YEARS, I don't know what support you have used to make that happen and what food choices you are making, but I KNOW you can make it! Do you have any kind of counselor or nutritionist...or even just Weight Watchers...to give you the support you need?

You CAN stop it! You just have to reach out and get the help that will keep you going through this rough patch.

I just so hate to see someone who has gone through something so drastic as weight loss surgery not succeed. PLEASE, there is help there. I truly hope you find it. PM me if you need more encouragement.

I lost 20 lbs about 2 years ago. I took a lot of salt and carbs out of my diet due to a high blood pressure scare. I've gained 5 of it back since but I'm blaming this on a horrible spring and not being able to get outside as much!!!

Easy...you get up at 5 AM, Shower, dress and fall into formation. You then double time (run) to the chow hall were you get to have one egg, no toast, no bacon or sausage, some fruit, if you had cereal you could have one packet of sugar or a glass of milk...not both or use milk on your cereal and forfeit the glass of milk. You would then double time back to the barracks, change into a t-shirt, athletic shorts and combat boots and head to the PT field where you did an alternating regiment of sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks, leg lifts, squats, stretching, running a half mile and then with no breaks in between you start all over for three straight hours. Then you run back to the barracks change into a regular fatigue uniform and double time to the chow hall again where you would get a full sized plate and your entire lunch might cover about 25% of it, back to the barracks and repeat the morning schedule for another three hours. Then two hours of classroom training and dinner which again could be covered if a fly landed on your plate...total 1000 calories a day. After dinner you would do marching drills, saluting drills, etc. head back to the barracks for about an hour or two of free time with lights out at 9:30 PM. No argument there because by then you could fall asleep on a cactus.

Next morning...repeat the day before. On Sunday you could attend religious services for about an hour of non-harassment. Atheists even attended those services. I think you should be getting the picture by now. PS...not to be tried by anyone over the age of 20. It could easily kill you. Routinely, while running those half mile segments on the track, you had to watch for and sometimes jump over, fallen bodies of others that passed out. You were not to stop and help, the instructors would take care of it (I think).

107 without trying, it was med weigh gain. I now go up 20 down 20...same thing. Sometimes with meds, you have no control! that sucks.

but if I am trying, like I did in March. I dropped 11 pounds in one week.
