i did it : )

  • My first success story. That sounds so good. I had set a goal of losing 30 pounds by the time school started in the fall. (I am 26 yrs old, married, college student) And as of today I have accomplished just that!!! 30 pounds of fat forever gone!!

    I did it by counting calories and fat. Also by walking about 3 miles 4 times a week. I started on June 1 this summer and am so happy to be returning to school 30 pounds lighter.

    I still have a long way to go (70 more pounds to goal) but it was so motivating to reach this short term goal I set for myself.

    It is funny though when I think about carrying around 30 more pounds on a daily basis. I can barely lift that when I try at the weight room. And to think I had that on me. CRAZY!!

    Good luck all and thanks for reading my sweet little success. I can't wait for the day I can post in here again.

    love and luck,

  • Weigh to go!!!
  • Congratulations on reaching your goal. Just out of curiosity, could you tell me what your limits were for calories and fat? I am doing the same thing, and I am not exactly sure what would be the best. I have been using Dietwatch, but it seems like the limits are high.
    Thanks a lot, and again, way to go!
  • Thanks everyone for the kind words.

    Surfergirl, I sent you a private message telling you the numbers I use. I would love to hear from you again. I need all the support and inspiration I can get.

    love and luck,
