Hello everyone! I weighed 195.8 this morning...Argggg I have my diet under control- it's the same old problem with me I'm not getting enough exercise. I'm kinda lazy about exercising. I have my house up for sale while we are living in it- I am a homemaker so I spend all day keeping my house really clean because I get phone calls at a moments notice to show the house. So in my mind I'm thinking I'm getting enough movement from cleaning. But the scale is proving this is not the case. I eat 1300-1500 calories daily. Some day's 1700. I have been in the 190's so long now. I just need to make up my mind to start walking everyday. There is a nice park not far from my house- the perfect place to walk. I just need to motivate myself to do it! Thank you- rant over
Good morning I weighed 194.2 this morning. I've been doing a really good job at keeping my eating under control. I'm drinking more water. Sometimes when I think I am hungry I'm actually thirsty. After a glass of cold water it takes my mind off of eating more foods that run my calories up for the day. Now if I could only get motivated to exercise.
Thanks for the congrats everyone! My official w/i day is Tuesday, so I'll let you all know how I'm doing then. My husband and I are hosting my best friend's birthday party tonight, so I stocked up on healthy snacks, and I'm ready to go! Hope you all have a great weekend!
Goal4agirl, lets set a goal! This week we will go for three walks? I need to walk more, I can go to the gym couple times a week when the kids are in care but the other 4 days I find myself using them as an excuse as to why I don't exercise. Easy enough to put them in the stroller (1 and 3yr olds) and walk to the park! What do you say, up for it?

Good morning! Sounds great ~ I could do that. Maybe by this time next week or 10 day's or so I will be 189.0
Good morning! I weighed 194.0 this am. The temp here is going up to 65 degrees (under that is freezing to me- Southern gal) anyway, going for a good long walk today at the park. I'm thinking about joining a curves or something so I can get some exercise this winter. I do not like cold weather at all. So at least it will be inside where it is warm. Have a good weekend everyone
hey everyone - not here quite yet, but since Onederland is less than 3 lbs away, I figured I'd say hello and that I hope to be joining you all in a couple of weeks or so!!
Although it's pretty funny, I've been dreaming about getting INTO the 190s for so long, I can't even wrap my head around the idea of trying to get OUT of them! lol!
I just hit 199. I grew up obese so this is the first time I can remember weighing myself and seeing a one in front. Certainly it's the first time since late middle school and through high school. My next really big goal is being 190, losing that ten pounds means I'm "overweight" not "obese" and I've wanted that for quite a while.
April... You are close! I know what you are talking about- I had a 2 in front of my weight for a really long time. When I finally started to realize I was going to get into the 190's I just couldn't believe it. I weighed 207 for the looongest time. But one day I stood on the scale and it said 199.8 The joy I felt was so amazing. Congratulations- I know the hard work is soon to pay off
KayCaroline... Congratulations!!! That is so fabulous!!!
I thought I might be able to squeak on out of here this week with my weigh-in but I'm at 191! So close! Next weigh-in I'm determined to be out of the 190's and into the 180's!!!
Kay I so know what you mean. I was thinking today that the last time I weighed my current weight I was 18. And scarily my goal weight I was last there when I was 14! If I could go back to my 14yr old self and say put down that chocolate bar I so would!!
194.2lb yay! So close to saying I've lost 100lbs. I think in metric, but think it is so cool that I will be able to say I've lost over 100lbs.
