Losing It!!! A Starting Point...
 

:tantrum: I hate being FAT!!
Hey ladies! Hope everyone is well and doing wonderbar! I recently began to seriously make efforts to lose some much hated weight. I have been posting in the Nutrisystem area and love all the support and encouragement. I wanted to start another thread to spread out and see how everyone is doing on their goals no matter the plan chosen. Please share your stories, successes and failures!

As for me, I floated around 3FC for a while, then drifted away and now I am back and ready to ROCK!!! I started Nutrisystem on March 13 and on my way to my goal weight. My goal looks like an eternity, but I know I can do this if I take one day at a time. For me, I am doing this to avoid going into my 40's with the weight that I see my sisters, mother, and other family members struggling with along with the associated health problems. I HAVE to make a change now. So far, I have enjoyed my choice of diet plan and have learned alot from it. As with all diets, you have your 'bad' issues, but you work around those.

Best to all and I look forward to hearing everyones stories :)
Thanks for being such awesome Chicks!!! :hug:

Welcome!!!! back...

Post as much as you can stand..It what keep me going...








:tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: <<<<I am sorry I just love this one

I'm back at it myself....My first day, so I'll need a few more to feel successful. But, so far, so good....Eating my salmon and melon snack right now. Yum! Healthy can taste good too!!!!!!! Plus, I'll feel much better the rest of the day.

I know tantrum boy is the BOMB...he just shows how ya feel!

Hello, I am doing the watch the cal and fat and adding a bunch more excersie. It seems to be working. I am also trying some new food too. I am just now at my 4 weeks a full months. It really was not that bad. I have my heart set on losing this weight and being thin and finding nice cloths.

Awesome Maggie! Nice to meet you and unicorn!!!! I love salmon. I watched Good Eats with Alton Brown the other night and he had an awesome recipe I want to download.

Nice clothes are nice, like I told my friend today I would just like to get out of the Plus section in the store!!

I have never posted before - so here goes.

From what I see so far, I can tell that this network is what is going to keep me going with my mission to lose 60 pounds. This has been a long time coming as I have never really given it my all before. This time is it as I am sick and tired of not being able to walk without getting out of breath, and like you said RM - having to shop in the plus department. I want to be able to look good in a pair of shorts (something my neighbors have never seen me in!) this summer so I have some hard work ahead of me.

I am going to Weight Watchers tomorrow (or Saturday) to join (3rd time) and am going forward from there.

Thanks ladies. Looking forward to chatting and encouraging those that need encouragement - cause I know I will need a bunch! :D

Welcome Carmen! It is great here :) I love it!

Well when I started here I was in a 22....Now I am in a 14 and they fit good...

The little mad guy just makes you feel better the longer you look at him...lol

Hello!
Good luck to all! I just told my husband that I starated chatting with you all for support and he thought it was great! I know how you feel about support and I encouragement, I need all that I can get too.
My name is Barb

Ok I have a question....have any of you ladies that say have/had more than 50 pounds to lose try any of the Turbo Jam or similar DVD's?
I mean those ladies that jump and kick that are size 6 don't have the jiggle factor someone size 20...gimme your thoughts

RubenMuse - I have never tried the dvd you are talking about.
I do know what you mean though, I think that everytime that I run on the tredmill or do jumping jacks..It drives me nuts.

Hi Barb:wave: and welcome to this site, it is full of WONDERFUL supportive people!

Hey ladies!!! How is everyone???

I was bad yesterday and I didn't even know it. I went to lunch with my buddy and had a salad.....well I got online last night, AFTER my dad took me and the Hub out to dinner for BBQ, and saw that SALAD had over 800 calories!!!!!!! There was fajita meat in it people!!! not the fried stuff!!! I just so don't even want to calculate those figures for the day.

I am jsut starting a new Day 1 today before I get mad and go through my 'cycle' of "I might as well eat this cause.." crap.

Time to :kickbutt:!!!!!!!!

I hope the rest of you are doing great. Any advise on workout DVDs would be wonderful, I'm no size 2, so be kind :)

:wave: Good Morning Everyone ~ I just started on my weight loss journey 2.5 weeks ago, and so far so good. I have lost 9 pounds so far, by counting calories and doing my WATP dvds 6 mornings a week in the privacy of my own home. I love these dvds and actually look forward now to exercising. Things do get a little easier with each day, and I know I CAN and WILL succeed with this weight loss this time! I don't want to be feeling this way by this time next year again. All of you are very encouraging and motivating and that's what we all need to keep going. People in our everyday life, that have never been much over weight, do not understand what we feel like or what we go through. That's why I love coming here to this board and visiting with people that can relate the same way as myself. Thanks you everyone for your support!:grouphug:
