May I join? For the so many years my weight has fluctuated between the 150's and 180's. It always seemed like once I would get myself to about 153 thats when it became so difficult to lose the 4 that would finally take me into the 140's!!! I am a calorie counter... No special diets or structure for me. My life is kind of hectic at times and I don't have the discipline or patience for having everything mapped out for me. It's honestly, probably what I need to keep the weight off... But I just can't bring myself to do it! I've been on my "diet" for a few weeks now. Happy with the progress so far. Everyday is a bit of a struggle... I'm a food lover through and through! just trying to take this one day at a time
the more the merrier! im not even in the 170s yet and i nosed my way into this thread
Hi guys I'm new to all of this.. Is it ok for me to jump in? I've been trying to drop weight since I had my son in 2007 I weighed 160, shortly after I had two brain surgeries and gained back to 199. I've been trying really hard since July this year 2012 i have hypothyroidism i got put on medication and I've lost a decent amount.
Yesterday was discouraging though it said I weighed 5 more ponds than two weeks ago blahhhh oh well I got this!!!! I am at 176 as of yesterday!

So I've been a diet coke drinker most of my life. I used to drink it like water... Now I drink maybe 2 a day. However, as I'm really trying to get this weight to melt off, I've reduced my diet coke intake to 1 a day. I have been having the worst eye twitch ever!!! Has anyone else experienced this? If this caffeine relatedl? I am getting plenty of sleep... Not too stressed (not anymore than usual anyway)
My plan for today is to take a chill day and do some yoga. For some reason, although I know my body needs it), I always feel guilty when I'm not doing a high impact exercise. I feel like I may be slowing myself down.
down from 179.8 last thursday....very slow process....
4 pounds in a week is outstanding!!! Seriously!!!
Nola - Ya it probably is caffeine related!
Welcome all newbies!!!!
I was down a little bit today to 154.4. I've lost 2 pounds since the beginning of the month. Less than I'd like but not terrible! Have a terrible case of the carb flu today. UG!
hi ladies. i'm back from my NYC/ Canadian Thanksgiving Heitus.
Stephanie- I am most deffinately in limbo, and i've been in limbo CONGRATS!!! 80 is a big deal! Feeling super awesome yet?
julia- thank you! don't even need shaping underwear. to be honest with you, if i've eaten properly, the meal immediately before, you can't see anything, no rolls, no muffin top, no bulge. it's more of a naked thing ha ha. and why not have confidence? gets you places! also? 3 lb loss? that's awesome!! way to go. my personal most hated number, ever is 180.
------------------
back in the game, back to the studio, must start drinking more water. something is most deffinately cooking for me in my limbo situation- but i am tired, exhausted, and it keeps interfering with studio time. my phone, is literally going off every 2 minutes, i have interviews, one or two a day - and no acceptable offers (that aren't obscurely low paying- i am not in a financial rut, so i am willing to hold out and wait). I JUST WANT STUDIO TIME.
these are usually due to dehydration. drink some water!
I have been drinking water and green tea quite a bit. However, I loaded up on water today at work and the twitch seems to have stopped for now. It's probably a combination of not enough water for my body and the caffeine. Very embarassing! Purposely wore my glasses today instead of putting in my contacts so that people don't catch on.
down from 179.8 last thursday....very slow process....
That is an awesome loss for one weeks time! Be proud of yourself! I am happy if I see a 2 lb loss. This week was a slow week for me. No change in weight whatsoever.
so good to see everyone making some progress.
mine is a very slow as well but I am happy that I am a little lighter than last month. I feel even if it is one pound, that is one pound less than before...
Yay!!! to all of us.
Heyy, everyone. I’m new. I yoyo a lot and my lowest maintained weight was 143. Starting school and planning a trip out of the US threw my normal diet off this summer and I gain 20pounds. Really, I just want to fit back into my clothes and learn how to portion/ stop binge eating when I’m stressed. Two big goals. Hoping this site can help me out in reaching them
