20 and looking to lose 85 more lbs..... need a buddy?
Hello, this is my first time here and I had to Join. I have been on a diet for 2 weeks now and could use some support. I do best having to tell someone what I ate each day and how much I exercise. I find that when I have to tell someone I failed, I strive harder to succeed. I would like to talk daily to someone that will help me stay on track, and I would love to help someone else in return! Does anyone wana be my buddy
Although I don't have as much weight to loss, but I've hit a plateau and having a buddy would really help since I really have to watch what I eat.
So here it is:
Breakfast:
Cinnamon Toast Crunch - 120 cal
Milk - 80 cal
Lunch:
Pizza - 250 cal?
Little Chicken Skewers - 280 cal?
Vegetables - 50 cal
exercise seems to be my problem, I need to make the time, check back with me tomorrow and hopefully I have made the time.
I get so frustrated because I have so far to go. It just feels like it take 1 weekend to gain 10 lbs and a month to lose it.... why cant the weight just fall off??? Some one give me a magic pill!!!!!
I have set a goal for my self for the next week: keep up with the new eating habits, but exercise at least 4 times this week!!!!!
Don't give up. Any weight loss is better than no weight loss at all. Which is where I am at. Exercise becomes easier when you have fun. I just finished the Couch-5K training and very pround of how far I've come.
For today:
Breakfast:
Banana - 120 cal
Dannon Light'n Fit Smoothie - 80 cal
Lunch
Roasted Vegetable Soup - 150 cal
Herb Vegetable Pasta - 280 cal
Meatball Pasta - 250 cal
Dinner (plan)
Chicken Skewers - 160 cal
Fruits - 100
oooohhhhhh i wanna have someone to tell too what i eat and do...me me me, lol. I have no one to keep me accountable! And this is the most important time i have tried to diet! I feel that if i cant do it during this 4 month stretch with hubby gone then i wont ever be able to do it.
Breakfast- special k (2cups),
snack- 1 cup grapes
lunch- tuna salad sammich on whole wheat bread with one slice of cheese
and for exercise...well i just started my diet monday so i realized that i am sooo outta shape and so far can only do 15 minutes sweating to the oldies with richard simmons midday and 5 minutes on eliptical in evenings.. but i am gonna keep going till i can do much more. I gues you can count playing with 2 toddler boys all day some exercise too

Sure girl I'll be your buddy. Because I need someone to help me loose 20lbs for the first weight loss after that I need to loose 20 more pounds to get to my ideal goal weight. Its good to start out gradually because you don't want to shock your body. But let me recommend a Workout Video by Fitness Guru Donna Richardson girl she has the #1 Fitness Video in America! Thats saying alot its called Sweating in the Spirit here's her Website where you can read more about it. www.DonnaRichardson.com She has a very energetic workout plan here she has live performances by the top people in the Gospel World such as Kirk Franklin the Energetic one Yolanda Adams the Humble one and lets not forget Shirley Murdock I think she has so much energy for the Lord. You will get in touch with your Temple aka Body and the Lord your Almighty Jesus
Here's my Email Address [email protected] Just to keep in touch and see what progress you're making. But if i'm not online because you know I'm in College and have Tons of Homework I'll get your email when I do come on or when I get time to check my email I'm taking 15 credits this Semester and its really keeping me Busy. But you can also pm me
Hello everyone, I would love to be support to anyone and everyone. I just went out and got The Biggest Loser Work Out DVD and I tell you what, that video is really good. The things they do in it is easy to do but hard on your muscles. I worked out to it for 30 minutes and I don't think I ever felt so good. It was worth the $10 I spent at Wal-mart. I would really recomend this video to anyone. But anyways, I will report back with my calorie intake once I have ate a few things!!
Hi there newyear! I'm 25/f and I have around a hundred pounds to lose still =(
Since you're just starting a healthier life, I'd recommend concentrating on one thing at a time. It seems like you're doing great with eating healthier! Slowly adding exercize here and there, and working up to a more comprehensive exercize regimen works the best for me.
I've heard that it takes 20-30 days for something to become a habit, so if you're interested in the longterm, I'd go for eating healthier right now, and getting in some exercize when you can. When you feel like you've mastered the eating, and it doesn't take that much willpower to go out to lunch and have a chicken salad with dressing on the side, rather than the french dip with extra cheese and french fries (one of my favs!) then you can move on to adding more exercize.
I'm in the process of getting back on the health wagon, and I'm focusing on food right now, and exercizing when I feel motivated to do so. I know that I WILL get back to that point where I get up in the morning and automatically jump into my exercize clothes, but right now it seems so hard to imagine! I'd love a buddy.
I agree...take small steps for each goal. If you choose a large goal, you're more likely not to reach it and get discouraged. Then you'll stop making those life long healthy choices.
Please join a group...it's in the "groups" forum. There are alot of different groups. But they all have one common goal...losing weight.
hey everyone! i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a buddy to talk to! i feel like my motivation has REALLY been lacking lately, so i'd def like to have somoene to relate to!
if you're interested in talking let me know! thanks
Miaka- You are doing great! Well the Chocolate cake was a stretch, but it is much better then what I did this weekend... Fast food twice.... I swear my husband wants to make this so hard on me.... no support!!!! Oh well that's why I have you guys LOL!
I am not even going to try to remember what I ate this weekend, I am just going to start fresh!
I have to give you snaps for how well you are doing on the Exercise here is a carrot! he he I love him. I don't know how you find the time or dedication, but you are doing it and that is great! So how do you think you did yesterday? Good? I hope you are doing well.
ladypeacek- Hey it is great to hear from you, If you want support you have come to the right place! It sounds like you are off to a great start with your diet. You are making healthy decisions, and that is great. I hope we here from you again soon.
I have not eaten yet today, but I will check back in with you guys after lunch and let you know how my day is going!
Na, the chocolate cake wasn't so bad since I only had a tiny little slice. To make this work, I allow myself some food I can't not resiste. Because of the plateau, someone gave a suggestion that help them getting over it. I am suppose to eat a lot of calories one day, and then cut back a lot the next day. Do this several times and shock my system out of it.

Breakfast:
Cinnamon Toast Crunch - 120 cal
Milk - 80 cal
Lunch:
Herb Roasted Vegetable Pasta - 250 cal
Potato Crusted Cod Fish - 300 cal
Dinner:
Veal Parmigiana w/ Pasta - 660 cal
Garlic Bread - 130 cal
