Is weight loss always on your minds like it is on mine? I think about it all day long. not that i neccessarily let that change my mind if i want to have a cookie or something, but it's like it is always right there.

Am I obsessing too much?? I try to not think about it so I can have one of those experiences where I put something on in the morning and it just falls off and i am shoked to have dropped that much weight.

What do you guys think??

Well, it's new so it's there. There's an overwhelming amount of info you'll be reading and hearing about.
I (half) joke that if you're going to be obsessive about anything .... it might as well be your health.
I do believe it gets to be more second nature as we figure it out.

What's a lumi?

I'm a big soap fan...no pun intended on my size.lol. anyways, one of my favorite couples, lucas and sami. fans take the names of two characters and smoosh them together. so when you take the two first letters of lucas and the last two letters of sami (who is a girl, short for samantha) you get lumi. and instead of making up a new name every where i go, i stick with one i can remember. and I am very lucky, considering my passion for the show, that i have met both of them. and I am really hoping that this last time they are coming to an area near me, that i will be down ALOT when I meet them again. Well, i don't know that both of them are coming back to where I go to meet them, but I am 99% sure the guy who plays Lucas, Bryan Dattilo, will be there again. So, i really want to look good to meet him this one last time.

AHA! Want a soapstar man don't ya?!

I obsess about my weight too. You see how often I'm online right? Constantly!

The first thing I do in the morning, weigh myself. At work, log on to 3fatchicks and fitday. When I get home, write down all my calories. Debate about whether to exercise or not. Look in my "Fat Book" and count the calories of my dinner. Look at my goals, tweek my goals, write in my journal about my progress or lack thereof. Whew! Tiring!

I hear you. The first thing i do when i get to work is log on to here and my fitday page. I have to update it with everything I ate when i got home and any excersizing i did before returning to work the next day. It just seems like it is on my mind, all day, everyday. but i suppose that is a good thing, because it will keep me focused. and yeah, i told myself, if i lose weight down to my goal by july, i'd ask my screenname half sake for a dance. i'd ask Lucas to dance with me at the dance that night. so, well see if that happens!!

Good luck girlie!

uh-huh, I'm obsessive as well. Have been ever since I started losing weight, about 4 years ago. Probably will be for the rest of my life.

I am right there with ya. It's always on my mind also. I constantly am thinking, okay is it time to eat? Have I ate too much? Wonder if I have lost anything? and so on and so on. I am still loosing okay so far (knock on wood) so I'm not at the frustrated stage yet, so as long as I keep loosing I don't mind if I am obsessing just a bit!

BTW, I loved Lumi, although Broe were my fave

At the moment it is also always on my mind. I think because it has become such a problem for me physically, and old habits (ice cream before bed) die hard. I think that once a person loses a lot of weight and has made lifestyle changes that they have been doing routinely for a while, it then becomes another way of living. The weight would be gone, so then what? It is keeping from gaining at this point.

I suppose that for people that have issues with food control (as I certainly do) it is probably a battle that will in some form or another rage on. Even when the weight is lost. I think in this case you have no choice but to slightly obsess on it to keep it from re distributing to the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
