how much weight have you lost so far? and how long did it take you to lose it? and how much weight approximately do you lose each week?

Sorry about that I had to go look at my tracker

37lbs
Started in Nov
I got 30 more to go

2lbs a week is ok with me...

i figured out that in order to weigh 110 at the most by the time i go on vacation i need to lose 1.5lbs every week

la3y_un1c0rn_37 04-20-2006 04:38 PM

That great amount to lose...Nice and slow. You will keep it off longer....

What you doing to lose? How long have you been at it?

i'm pretty much just counting calories and trying to eat healthier and trying to only eat when i am hunrgy, not when something just looks yummy. and i just started a week ago, but i lost about 3lbs so far. i started at 130 and this morning i was 125.5 but this afternoon i was 127. what about you?

Some days I can gain 6 pounds. Just depends what you eat and drink and your body bloats - it sucks, but it is normal :)

la3y_un1c0rn_37 04-20-2006 04:56 PM

annonymous_girl 04-20-2006 05:04 PM

mmm i have lately been eating well breakfast(carnation instant breakfast) is 220, lunch(apple) is 74, and dinner is chicken or fish usually and thats like between like 60 and like 200 so about 500 or so, but it varies occassionally i have a little snack or something though and all i drink besides my carnation instant breakfast in the morning is water.

sotypical 04-20-2006 05:12 PM

Sorry, I don’t want to sound like your mom or anything, but 500 cals a day is unhealthy for anyone. Even small children need to eat more than that. 1200 is the minimum you can get by on (and only then through proper nutrition planning) not the maximum.

I’ve lost about 30 lbs in 30 weeks, but it’s been far from an even pound a week rate. My body tends to hold at a weight for a couple weeks and let things go in spurts.

I agree. You HAVE to eat more than that a day. 1200 is the minimum. If you don't eat enough then you won't be giving your body enough fuel to function everyday. It's like trying to drive 200 miles on one gallon of gas. Not going to work.

I want you to be healthy in your weightloss and in everyday life. I've been eating around 1300-1500 calories a day and have been losing an average of 1-2 lbs a week. Your weight loss might be slower, but you will be alot healthier because of it.

Wishing you the best.
