Welcome to our thread. What are you doing to lose weight?

Our post has been relatively quiet. Just want to check in on everyone's progress. 16 lbs until my initial goal. They will come off when they come off. I'm feeling great! I'm pretty sure in about two more lbs I can put my size 16s away. I can't wait for the day I'm back in my 12s.

DrivenByAmbition I'm wearing my 16s today because I'm all bloated and crampy... My 14s fit, but today I need a little give! I've got SO many pants. It's ridiculous. I've got a ton of 12s that I've never worn. I hope that I can wear those again one day! Then I have size 10s that I haven't worn since late high school/early college. The 12s would be so great to be in though, that's a good size for me. I hope you get back into your 12s soon!

Things are pretty good here, I'm just waiting for TOM to be over so I can feel comfortable in my 14s again. I'm just so bloated today. I always enjoy the whoosh after TOM though, hopefully I'll have a good one this month!

Wow this thread's perfect! I'm 20-something with 20-something lbs to go! :) Hope everyone's doing well so far!

Welcome Atarimae. You are sooooooo close to goal. What are you doing to help you lose?

Thank you, Driven! You've come a long way yourself! Great job! :)

As for what I'm doing, I mainly focus on my eating habits. I loosely follow Jorge Cruise's belly fat cure, which focuses on low sugar and limited carb intake. (The rule is no more than 15g of sugar and 6 servings of carbs a day.) I try to go even less on the carbs, without watching *too* much on the calorie count...although I do keep it in mind.

For exercise, I just try to do some form of movement of a minimum of 30 minutes five times a week. I'm generally pretty lazy, so it's easier to focus on eating right than being a TON more active.

How are you choosing to lose weight? There are just so many differing methods out there!

im going to start doing water aerobics again becuase it looks like running it out for now.

I originally got to goal by doing weight watchers. Lost 75 lbs.

Last year I had some health concerns and did some research and decided I should try gluten-free. Some of my health concerns, like rash and another undiagnosed strange occurrence, pretty much stopped. So I've been sticking with it. One day I did decide to have gluten purposely, it was a big mistake. I looked pregnant from bloat, had a horrible rash, and I'm just do done.

So right now, I'm just doing my gluten-free lifestyle, just watching more closely. I don't really miss the gluten in my diet. I'm not a sweets person and not a fan of grease.

I thought about low carb, just don't seem to have the will power at the moment.

I think I've misunderstood the last part of your post. What's running it out?

I've never tried water aerobics, I don't even like to look at myself in a bathing suit let alone wear one in front of many others.

Wow, this thread seems dead. :/ Hope everyone is doing well. I weighed today in at 177.7 down from 179.2 finally.

I've actually been feeling that way about this site (3fc) in general! I know it isn't as active as before, but now I also wonder if there are other communities where people flock to. That said though, I always love the kindness and respectful opinions on 3fc...which I don't see as often elsewhere...

Anyway, hit 146.8 today! Of course, the first couple weeks back on track does that to me...then I start stalling. Oh gosh, no stalls anytime soon, please!!!

Happy Monday, everyone!

You are doing great! Won't be long now. I feel that way sometimes too. Hopefully the thread will pick up; it is January!

Aw thank you! :) You're doing great yourself! (I may or may not have seen your progress on Rie's challenge hehe!)

I'm a little late to the game but I want to lose 20 pounds before I leave my 20s which will be in October :-)

Right now, I am 199.4 and really bummed about that.

1/27 - 199.4
1/28 - 199.4 <- Ugh, why!

Thanks! :) Challenges are great motivation. Just trying my best to not put a deadline and just keep on keeping on. I'm actually kind of hungry right now, but I'm cooking one of my favorite dinners tonight so I'm trying to hold off.
