Hi rainbow I,m new to this to I,m from downunder where in kgs and cm here I have just had my weight worked out in lbs and to me 172lbs is scarier than 86kgs I, have 16kgs to lose and to me that sounds better than 38lb but I guess it,s mind over matter any weight loss is great no matter how big or small it all makes a difference good luck I,m trying a low carb low fat diet working so far only into second week though fingers crossed this time I,ll do it Bye for now Blessed Be JULIE

Hello Sara and Julie. I am Gabrielle and have one daughter (17 months). I am around 155 (Monday is my weigh in day) and would like to lose 30 lbs. What are you both doing to lose? Just wondering. I am doing lots of exercise and eating healthier meals about 3 hours apart. Nice meeting both of you. hope to hear from you both soon.

Hi Gabrielle nice to hear from you I,m 172 and would like to lose around 38lbs whoa thats a shocker in print I,m the same eating healthy and exercise which I hate but if you want to lose it move it so they say. I started 2 weeks ago at 176 so I guess a loss is a loss even if mostly fluid good luck meeting your goal by october 31 well bye for now Blessed Be JULIE

Hi Julie and Gabrielle, Sorry it has took me so long to reply. I have been busy. I am currently at 207. My body has been messed up here lately. I started a new birth control pill Alese, and on my 3rd pack in the first week I started my period. So I quit them and haven't been on anything else. But I'm not saying that's the reason for the 2 lb weight gain! I haven't been following my diet and I need to get motivatied again. I am a stress eater!! When I get stressed I eat which is most of the day because I babysit!! I love to exersize when I find the extra time and I feel that it does help me in losing weight. Just have to get the eating right thing down and stay with it. Well I have gabbed enough. Talk with you all later.

Hi SARA nice to hear from you I think we all look for a reason for why we gain weight my excuse were I lost my dad 3yrs ago at the same time my second marriage ended so I comfort ate I met my third hubby about a month later boy am I a gluten for punishment so anyway I,ve been yoyo dieting for the past 2yrs telling myself it,s contentment when in actual fact I just like food all the wrong stuff of course try to stay focused and when tempted to eat out of stress ask yourself do you really need the biscuit or what ever how will it make you feel in the long run better or angry and guilty because you gave in well that,s it for now bye Blessed Be JULIE

Hi Sara, all the best to you. I hope that you have success. I weigh just over 100 kg, or in he low 200 pounds. I have a bit to loose. If we work toghether we can help each other. Good Luck

Hi ladies, just joined the site today and am loving the encouragement everyone gives each other. I'm 45, a mom who works away from home and has a husband who was diagnosed with Parkinsons 5 years ago. Since then I have gained over 35 pounds, 14 just in the last 8 months. I weigh 183 pounds and my goal weight is 145 to 150. I have loss weight on Weight Watchers before, am even a life member but fell off the wagon. Well I have decided its time to get back on. I MUST be healthy to take care of my family. Right now the extra weight is causing everything to ache....
No fun:
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and supporting each other. I know we can all reach our goals.
Have an awesome day!!!!!

Yabbut, saying I lost 3 pounds this week sounds better than saying I lost 1.25 kgs.

hello everyone sorry that I haven't posted in a while. How are you all doing? I am doing well. Last I checked I was down 2 lbs which is great. Didn't do well with my exercises yesterday but today is a new day and plan to do alot better. Hope everyone else is doing fine. Remember if you need a to talk just pm me.

Hi everyone hope your all well congrats on the 2lbs lost keep it up gab and to almost heaven I,m sorry if I put out negative vibes for you it was just a personal observation on my part we all have our own quirps about how we see our weight loss your used to lbs and being an aussie I,m used to kgs I,m currently 172lbs or 86kgs I wish I had your will power from your sw to what your cw is inspires me to think that I can do this whether in lbs or kgs sorry again if I hit a nerve bye for now JULIE

Hi You Guys,
Though I was going to give it a try today, wouldn't you know lunch was provided by the office. Didn't do too bad, baked chicken, correction DRY baked chicken, but it worked. I plan to hit WW in the am, my first weigh in since about 8 months ago. The extra 14 pounds could be a shocker, but I already know so only concerned with the look on our directors face. Not really, they are really supportive. My husband HAS to quit smoking and promised to do so starting Oct. 1st. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY. He has been smoking for about 55 years. WOW seeing it in print in a trip.... This too shall pass.
So excited for those of you that made progress this week. You ALL are true inspirations. Looking forward to hearing more and having my own progress to report.
Enjoy your Friday,
