New here... just want to make some new friends and supporters :)
Hello everyone.. My name is Lisa.. I'm 28 years old and Ive been overweight my whole life. I absolutely hate it and I wanna do something about it and Ive tried before but I always end up falling off track and getting busy with something else. Not this time! I really wanna try to lose a lot of weight but I know rather than having only my one big goal, I'm going to need a bunch of mini goals. So today, I've decided that my mini goal is going to be 15 lbs by Christmas. Wish me luck
Oh I know but I just get sick of water lol.. I use to drink pepsi by the liter a few years ago, but I switched over to diet coke and without that sugar intake I did lose like 30 lbs.
Leigh Leigh- Hey I'm not "new" here, but havent really ever been consistently on. Just got back to weightloss on november 1st.
I am 29 and while I wasnt overweight as a teenager I was always bigger than most of my friends and at the upper limit of my healthy weight range. This tme I am going all the way to goal. I'm excited about my program and confident I am changing my lifestyle and not just temporarily dieting this round.
So what are your plans? 15 lbs by christmas is a great goal. Have you thought about having non food related rewards for certain goals?
Hey Lisa!
I definitely agree that mini-goals are the way to go. Whenever I think big picture, I get discouraged and upset that I let myself get so further away from my ideal weight. My goal is to lose 20lbs by New Years which is about 2.5lbs a week. Let's hope we both meet our goals so we can start off 2013 on a good note!

Hey! I'm pretty new too! I am also addicted to coke! I've started drinking crystal lite instead when Im really craving a pop and it helps soooo much! You should try it!

I was looking into IP but it's just too expensive for me so i guess im just gonna have to do it the old fashion way and try to exercise more and eat healthier.

Ohh I forgot about crystal lite! I use to loveeee that stuff.. Thanks for the reminder
Pop was a HUGE thing for me. I think I was easily going through 2 liters a day when I was drinking it. It was usually the only fluid I took in. When I came back from vacation this summer I knew before I started any sort of weight loss plan I had to kick that monkey off my back. It was a horrible week, but once I quit, I learned to love water and green tea. I ordered a soda at a concert a few weeks ago I got a quarter of the way through it and was sick to my stomach. I don't think I'll be able to drink it again.
Good luck on your journey! We're close in age and my weight has always been a battle. It's tough, but we can both do it!
