Default Charlotte's Bio

UserName/RealName: CharlotteSometimes/Kimberly

EMail: [email protected] or toridmod@hotmail (but I only check the 2nd
one once a month or so)

Age: 19

Location: Sacramento, California

Occupation: legislative clerk

Marital Status: no way!

Children: no, no, no!

Pets: A cat named patches and a dog named Molly

Hobbies: reading, listening to music, going to shows, surfing the net, shopping on
ebay, garage sale hunts, etc.

What celebrity would you say you look like most?

A lot of people have likened me to Drew Barrymore, and sometimes Rose
McGowan, depending on what my hair color is that day! I don't see either one,
though. I think it's just the round face....

Weight high:
180

Weight currently:
175(ish....I have an unreliable scale)

Weight goal(s):
135-140 (I remember my sophmore year in high school when I was 138, and it
was damn near perfect for me)

Height:
5'8''

What sort of program are you on?
I dabble in WW, but I just follow my on plan mainly

Comments or suggestions?
I think it's a great idea to go to the club forum....it would help me so much to keep
in contact with all of you!!!

Also, I would love for people to start posting their meal plans for the day. It will
give us all ideas of new things to eat, and it will keep us on track knowing that we
have to tell each other all the good (or bad) stuff we ate!! It's encouraging!

If we do stick together as a group, which I would love to do....we ought to have a
name, shouldn't we???

Anything interesting you want us to know about you?
I don't know if I'm all that interesting....I love The Cure and Tori Amos, and I'm
majoring in Art History.

Biggest problem with your journey:
I talk myself out of it all the time....I convince myself that I can have something
bad....and then I think I've messed up so badly that I keep eating junk for the
next few weeks. I have to remind myself that every day is a new day....

If you want to be reached...
My email address or AIM (ChaRLit SuMTymz)

Do you have a homepage ? (and if you do, can we see it?) Nope, sorry! Don't
have one....


Have a great day everyone!!!!

Anything interesting you want us to know about you? I have several... but we'll
take it slow! My name... that's what I choose for today's topic!! My name is my
father's fault!! He wanted to name me Serendipity.He got that because it's the
name of a princess in a fairy tale... something like "The three Kings of Serendip"; it
also means that you expect something but you get something better. (They
thought I was gonna be a boy! ) My mother decided the "Seren" can stay, but
the "Dipity" had to go! Thanks mom!! You wouldn't believe the nicknames I've got
going on!!

Biggest problem with your journey... I have difficulties staying on track. mainly
because recently, I've been getting depressed and all I wanna do is eat it seems
like. Then I get mad at myself and all I wanna do is *not* eat!!

Hi Ladies,

I'm glad we moved to a new location. It makes it so much easier to find our thread. Its so great to see the thread growing

I haven't been following my plan for the last couple weeks. I really hope that I can get myself back on track. I don't really know what my problem is, I just can't focus on what I should be doing. Life is a bit on the hectic side. This week is going to be good...I can feel it!

I hope that everyone had a good weekend and I hope you have a successful week.

Jodie

Default 2.5 down.....!!!!

Hey girls! I had a wonderful week last week. I stayed on plan really well. I still need to focus on the water though. Just can't drink enough. I read threads and newsletter and success stories with all these people who are drinking 90-something ounces a day....wow. I'm working on the 30's right now. Anyhow...remember how I said my scale isn't all that accurate? I weigh myself at a friend's house from time to time to get a better idea. I weighed myself last night (which is the worst time to weigh yourself) and the scale said I had lost 2.5 lbs!!!!!!! Then I weighed myself on my scale this morning, and it said I had lost a total of 5 lbs.....so I'm just figuring it's somewhere in the middle there....about 3 lbs or so!!!! I feel great. I've never ever lost one single pound on a diet before. I think you guys are really helping me.

Jodie--
I'm sure you'll have a great week. It's so much easier when you have each other to talk to. Hang in there, and you'll do fine.

Seren Dee-
Don't worry about your name. That's silly. I think it's kind of pretty....and I'll probably check out your website soon!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful OP day!!!

~Kimberly (start/loss goal = 180/175/172 138)

P.S. I love to hear of new ideas for things to eat (inventive, quick recipes, etc.), so if you guys have any, I'd love for you to share them with me!!!!

Charlotte-- Congrats on your 2.5 down!! That's terrific!

It seems that no matter what I do, I stay at exactly where I have been! People try to comfort me by telling me that after you lose so much, you reach a plateau and no matter what you do, it's not going to help. I don't want to hear that. And does it really last like 6 months? No, I think it has something to do with my ability to stay motivated. I think I *am* gonna start posting what I eat and let you guys criticize... it may help me stay OP. But not today. Today was bad!

I hope to hear from everyone soon, and I hope everyone has a good OP day tomorrow!! I must go study now!! Bye!

G'day All,

Congrats Charlotte

Seren Dee, I've been through what your experiencing. I know that its frustrating. Here's a suggestion, why don't you try something different...try a different type of exercise and change what your eating. I know that I tend to eat the same things all the time. Maybe if you change your menu around it may help. Are you using all your points? I've learned that if you exercise alot and only eat to the base level, your body ends up working against you and you don't lose weight (hopefully this makes sense.) But most of all try and keep your spirits up. I know its difficult, I'm struggling myself. Just remember we're here to help

Tomorrow is another day, success is around the corner!

Bye for now,
Jodie

Thanks for everyone's support!! I may seem whiney for awhile because I'm just not happy with myself recently... with the decisions I've made as far as my weight issues.

As for the name thing... I wasn't complaining Until I was about 15, I hated my name. Y'know, I was in that stage where no one wanted to stick out. But since then, I've had so much fun with it!! I've been called everything from "Seren", which is my actual name, to Seren Dee, which is my first and middle, to serendipity and Serendipity-do-da. It's ok! Anything to be different!!

Thanks for visiting my page, guys!!

Default A sad but motivated day....

Hey girls!

Hope you all had good days. Mine has been okay so far, I haven't had anything except for coffee and water so far. I think I have to start paying more attention to WW points, even though I'm on my own diet. I don't want to not eat enough, and have my body work against me. That ruins the whole point of this hard work! I also need to exercise more, but it's so hard to find the time, between school and work and hanging out with friends. So far, I've only been lifting weights for a few minutes every other night or so, and riding my bike maybe once or twice a week for about 30 minutes. I think I'm going to start taking the stairs instead of elevator at work...

Anyway, after classes today I had an hour before work, so a friend and I went to this shop called Prevues. It's basically a trendy thrift store, with lots of club clothes and vintage stuff (though I'm WAY more into the vintage part of it). It made me kind of sad because I knew anything I tried on would look ridiculous on me. Sort of the "better on the hanger" syndrome. In addition to that, I don't know if any of you have this problem, but I'm VERY insecure and have always been considered a slight tomboy....because of my attitude and the fact that I don't have the guts to wear a dress. I feel silly. But the thing is, I would looove to wear skirts and little cute dresses, but everyone has just come to know me as I am, and I'd feel so stupid. I wish I had the courage and the confidence in myself. Maybe this diet will help that....and all of the water will clear my skin up (I've been breaking out pretty bad lately)!!!!

Even though it made me sad, it helped push me toward my goal to not only lose weight, but to feel more comfortable with myself in general. And with that said, I hope all of you girls find it in your hearts to do the same for yourselves!!!!

Have a wonderful day,
~Kimberly
