I can't agree anymore. I have joined this forum yesterday, and was wondering what others will say if I cry over my 26 pounds to lose. But now I am glad I found an apt forum for me. I'm 27 and married with no children. I weigh 73kgs now and my GP has advised me to shed almost 12-15 kgs because I am diagnosed with a not-so-small cyst in my ovary. We were planning for a baby next year. I don't know yet, if its possible. I hope to find support and advice from this forum. I know, I will.
hi, i started excercising callanetics again. i used to do it about 15 years ago. i don't know why i ever stopped. many repeats of very gentle movements and so easy on your spine. still need to do more cardio, but since i lost my jogging buddy i can't get myself to just wake up in the morning and go for it. any suggestions how to overcome this?
Hello all!! My name is Danielle and I just wanted to introduce myself. I saw this forum and figured it'd be the best place for me to start because I am only looking to lose 15 pounds. I'm currently in my 3rd year of pharmacy school and thanks to pharmacy school I've put on 15 pounds over the last 2 years due to many long nights of intense studying. I need to find another way of staying awake other than stuffing myself for hours on end. I hope I have time to check out these forums time and again because any motivation I can get from you guys would be awesome! Best of luck to everyone!!
I'm new too, I've gained a few extra pounds over the summer and hoped to get the inspiration I need to lose them. It's getting harder to do as I get older.
I have a little bit more than 20 lbs. to lose (23.6 to be exact), but this forum seems perfect for me. I feel bad talking about my weight loss in other forums where people are trying to lose a lot more than me.
I'm a nursing student and I start my first round of clinicals in January, which means a lot more stress and a lot less time to focus on myself. I'm working really hard now (while I have the time) to establish better eating and exercise habits and take off the weight in the process!
Hi girls.. I feel the same way.. I need to lose 10-15 punds in order to be on my ideal weight.. I'm currently on day 5 of SBD - Phas e1 and so far so good.. The only problem I seem to have so far is that I cannot get myslef to work out.. any advise on how to keep me motivated to get up and do domething???
Hello, everyone! I think the time has come for me to join the crew. I'm 42, married, one DS10, and I'm a quality engineer for a solar module company. I've spent all of 2009 so far losing 23 pounds, and now that I'm approaching what I set as a goal, I have no real idea of where I'm going to end up. 5 more? For sure. 10? Dunno. I have not embraced the exercise at this point - I have a lot of muscle to build and that's going to do some odd things to the scale too. I've posted in some of the support forums and I lurk in many more. It is clear that there's a big difference between the discussions that you have here, and the ones taking place in the 100+ forum or even in the general weight loss support. Looking forward to getting to know you!
