Thanks Megan, and what an obstacle with family here. Good job! I read in wyllenn's post about committment. That is what it is going to take from me, a true look at it. One pound down, 53 to go. It all starts with one!

hey, just checking in - I am having a really good phase of "healthy living" at the moment, so i have to make myself keep coming on here, because when i stop getting all the motivation and support, thats when my *** usually exapnds again!!!

I am bumping up the exercise this week, my goal is to exercsie 3-4 times this week, tonight will be my second time this week.

How is everyone getting on being healthy?!

*lol* i laughed outloud when I read your comment pigginpodgey! "when i stop getting all the motivation and support, thats when my *** usually exapnds again!!!" so true!!!!!!!!
Had subway for lunch today, it was awesome! I think I could live off that..:carrot:

Ya know what? I think this thread should be it's own sub-forum club under the support group! It seems we definitely have a 'club' of sorts going on here! Maybe a Moderator can move this thread there and create a 'spot' for us? Anyone else agree?

I'm so glad I started this thread!! I agree Bep, we should get this one moved for sure :D
How has everyone else's week gone so far? Can you believe we're more than half way done the week? :carrot:

Today was okay, not eventful BUT SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW!!!! YES! My little brother and sister are out the door! *evil laugh*

Good Morning/Afternoon Ladies!!

I have a confession: I ate ice cream and pizza last night :^:
By the time I got home from work, i was sooo exhausted and my sister in law suggested pizza.. and then we got ice cream. I just had to tell you guys, I couldn't help it :(

Today is a new day though, no more cheating!! I'm making sure I drink extra water though, to sort of make up for the cheating last night..

Megan, no biggie. I had ice cream yesterday but I ate healthy all today. Life goes on. :)

Hi all, I decided to post a message on here. I'm 22 years old. I've been overweight basically all my life. I got fed up with it a couple of months ago, and I've been on plan since then. I'm following Weight Watchers. I'm loving the program. I've lost 18lbs so far. I've also been working out 3 times a week.

It's hard being this young and being this big. I feel like I've missed out on so much of my young adult life. I really didn't have a fun and memorable high school/college experience. I didn't go to any high school parties, dances, proms. I was in the band. I had friends that I hung out with, but we never did anything super exciting. In college, I never went to any college parties or did anything that most college age kids do.

Anyways, I can't change the past, I can only do what I can do today.

I wish all of you luck on this really long journey! :carrot:

Hey everyone
Havent here for a couple of days, work has been crazy, ick. Everything seems to be going well eating wise, have only managed to exercise twice this week due to serious lethargy. A nap on the sofa has been much more appealing!!
Somedays i get so cross with myself for putting onthe weight in the first place, but you know i was in a crappy relationship ( which i have only realised now its over) where he sapped my self-esteem and " fattened" me up, and i comfort ate my way through 4 years. But enough excuses, its only me who can change the size of my wobbley bits right?! So i need to get off my wobbley butt and do something about it!!!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hi all again! I just wanted to say I've lost 10lbs! I'm so happy! I've been eating alot of Subway Turkey on Wheat Subs, getting alot of physical activity and feeling much better about myself. I think part of it was water weight because I had just gotten off that T.O.M. and (not that you need to know all this, but...) last saturday peed alot all day long. So I think I was retaining water. But I'm sure some of this weight lost is due to eating better and exercising more! Anyways I'm 10lbs to my 1st 25lb weight loss goal. Hopefully I can lose the 2.5lbs this week and be half way there!

pigginpodgey : I agree, time to get my butt off the computer chair and get up and get moving. I got alot of work to do I'm moving on Saturday.

philosophygrl: I feel the same way- I'm 25 and I want to lose this weight this year! I said it before, I don't want to spent the last 4 yrs of my 20's this fat anymore!!!! So I am, I'm gonna lose it for good!

Megan2006: It's all right. :) I was craving curly fries the other night so I went to Arby's and got a small order and went home and ate them with my healthy boneless skinless chicken breast and sauteed veggies! I savored every last bite!

To all: I do really like this thread! It has such a friendly vibe, I feel motivated after I've read it.

WOOOTTT Platinum! Congrats!
