welcome and lets keep this thread updated! its the only way to not let it fade. bump.

Checking back in! I've been more on the blogging side because I love keeping a daily record/journal :) but I've not abandoned you girls!


Tracey - I LOVE Brad Pitt as well. Which is so weird! I totally do NOT go for blondes but man is he SMOKIN' HOT! :lol:



how are we all doing???? I personally feel great and have felt this way for quite a while! I'm not very focused on the scale though, I'm focusing more on other things like:

1) I've journaled/tracked EVERY SINGLE day for the past two weeks! A record! I even wrote everything down when I went to Bilbao for the weekend!

2) I had to buy two new pairs of jeans ("Had" to :D) in a size down! :cheer:

3) I did actually check the scale after about a month and I'm down to 94.7KG. The scale hadn't moved for a while, but then I started moving MYSELF every day, plus the tracking, plus the choices that were good for me and voila!

4) My sex drive is coming back (hey, who doesn't feel better when their sex drive comes back!) since I've been weaning off my a/d meds! Woot! my DF is certainly happy about this! Ha!

Hi, I'll join this! I see SO MANY clothes in the shops and my brain goes "WANT WANT WANT!" but I can't wear them. I go to the 'fat section' and my brain is "DO NOT WANT! DO NOT WANT!"

Age: 23

Height: well its 165cm which I think is 5'6

High Weight: 125kg (275pds)

Current Weight: 118kg (259.6pds)

Goal Weight: between 62kg-70kg (136pds-154pds)

Something random about you: I have completly flat feet

Do you have any children?: Nope

Are you married?: Nope

Why do you want to lose weight most?: To be healthy, and so that I can look in the mirror, or at photos and like how I look.

Why is this time going to be different?: I'm ACTULLY drinking water this time!

IHeartDietCoke just wanted to post this link for you. By what you've posted you'd actully be underweight if you get down to 110 for your height. I don't mean to sound like a *****, but just some advice.

I just saw this, so I hope you don't mind if I join in here :)

Name: Brea

Age: 22

Height: 5'1"

High Weight: around 250 (maybe a few pounds higher, don't remember)

Current Weight: 189

Goal Weight: 105

Something random about you: Um... I'm typically really shy?

Do you have any children?: Just my two lovely cats

Are you married?: Nope

Why do you want to lose weight most?: I could write a novel on that. I'm just so tired of being overweight. I hate clothes shopping (well, have hated because it's rather fun since I've been losing), I'm tired of shopping at plus size stores and having to wear "grandma" clothing because I can't find anything 'cute' to fit me.

Why is this time going to be different?: Because this time I can actually visualize my goal. In the past, I could 'see' it but I could never imagine myself being it, but now I can. When I begin to freak out about weight loss and how uncomfortable it makes me feel (always got scared and gained everything back), all I think about are the positives and the good things, and I keep moving forward. I feel like I've never wanted this more than I want it now.

What an awesome idea! I just can't bear with the so-called flattering clothing options available. I watch "What Not to Wear" and they talk about doing this or that to disguise problem areas and I just want to scream, "Why not just lose the weight?!?" If only it were that easy...

Name: Janet

Age: 31

Height: 5'5"

Highest Weight: 172

Current Weight: 159

Goal Weight: 135

Something random about you: I love to read... it's hard to put the book down and get moving!

Do you have any children?: Just a child-like fiance

Are you married?: Not yet- in 11 months!

Why do you want to lose weight most?: I've lost the weight before and it felt so wonderful to be small, firm and as cute on the outside as I felt on the inside. I felt healthy and capable of anything- oh, I want that feeling back!

Why is this time going to be different?: I really thought I could eat whatever I wanted if I worked out. Then I stopped working out. BALLOON! Now, I'd like to think I'm older and wiser!

I'm 100% sure now that exercise is the only way I'll be able to keep the weight off (as well as watching what I put in my mouth) once I reach my personal comfortable weight. I maintained a 62lb loss for almost 3 years and yep, I STOPPED working out, started emotionally eating and drinking again and started taking Effexor... I pretty much gained everything back and then some within a year!

Hi Velveteen- what's Effexor?

I started dating a great guy and, since we are both workaholics, light snacks were followed by late dinners with desserts and drinks to keep the evening going. I also traded my gym time for time with him- glad I did but starting to realize that solution will actually reduce the amount of time we spend together over the long haul if I keel over!

Lafayette - it's an anti-depressant :)

velveteen I put 20kg back on after going off of Effexor too!

Then again, I look at the fact I'm no longer on meds as a good thing and if I had to put weight back on to behave "noramlly" then well I'd rather have the weight. Now that I've adjusted to no meds, I can lose the weight!

Hey, you cute chicks! We are totally way too cute to be this fat! And we can do this!

Age: 20

Height: 5'3ish

High Weight: 235 (ouch)

Current Weight: 212

Goal Weight: 135ish (I've never been thin, so I have no idea what to shoot for!)

Something random about you: I knit like a madwoman, and I can spell backwards really well.

Do you have any children?: Nada. I do have a 6 month old goddaughter, though.

Are you married?: No. :( I'm totally single.

Why do you want to lose weight most?: Because I'm too cute to be this fat! Just kidding (kind of!). Mostly because my eyes are finally open to how I was slowly killing myself, how awfully self-loathing I was. I just can't live my life like that; I HAVE to get healthy and happy. Also, I've never had a boyfriend :o (combo of being fat and having low self-esteem). I'd really like to fix that! ;)

Why is this time going to be different?: Again, because I am so much more self-aware these days. And I've gotten a handle on my anxiety and panic attacks! Gawd, I've eatten SO much food as a way to soothe my attacks. Also, I've been so lucky that I haven't developed any health problems, but if I don't lose the weight, I am a ticking time bomb.

Renee- That's so weird, when I went on Effexor, I gained 20 lbs! Ugh, that drug was so awful to me. Instead of getting rid of my panic attacks, it tripled them and made them so much more intense.

That is totally me. I am so :censored: sick of being treated that way and of myself for letting myself be treated/feel that way. It's ridiculous. But I'm ready to stand up for myself and FIX the problem. Enough is enough.

Oh... I definitely GAINED weight ON Effexor. I'm actually starting to LOSE weight now! I gained almost all the weight I lost withing about 18 months, plus! and that was ON a/d's. So now I'm just trying to get off without too much hassle (the brain zaps make me feel crazy and emotional) and focus on all the good things I'm doing now to get myself healthy.

I'm also not waiting anymore to be cute... I haven't worn any clothes that really express who I am and that's over and done with now - I've just won a few cute things off of eBay that I can't wait to wear :) AND... I was going to wait with pimping up my tattoos, but I'm not going to wait anymore with that either. I feel like I'm waiting to be slim again to start my life again and that's just not going to be the case anymore.

I'm too cute to be this fat and I'm also too cute to dress like a frump and not do anything to make me feel feminine or pretty. I even painted my nails again for the first time in AGES! (helps that my DF bought me a little blingy-bling a couple weekends ago ;) )

Wow, Lisa! You sound like you're ready to roll! That's awesome!

I've fallen into an emotional eating routine, too. I quit smoking and am now learning how to quit eating as a nicotine replacement!

I, too, have been waiting to dress cute but I threw on a cute little jacket with a t-shirt and jeans two weeks ago and could not believe the difference in my overall attitude! I felt like I could successfully diet and I went out and bought a couple cute tops and some new lip gloss (something I did almost weekly at 135). I'm going to keep up the intermittant clothing-type rewards until I reach my goal- this week is whacked out by TOM but next week I promise I'll be back at the mall!

Hi Cute Chicks! How's everyone doing?

I had a couple of not-so-great days but I've renewed my attitude again and am feeling much better! The weekends are generally "harder" than during the week, but for some reason I'm really compelled to keep things in check this weekend!

Go Us!!!
