YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! sugarsprinkles. if you're happy, i'm happy :jump:

Well done Sugarsprinkles!

I've now been doing the weight loss thing since June, and I've lost 19lbs so far, which I'm really pleased with. It's been relatively slow progress but steady, losing about 1-2lbs a week most weeks, which I think is sustainable, since I still have another 37lbs to lose at least.

Yay for us Sugarsprinkles! :D

((((Lou)))) ~ you're doing great!!!!!

I've lost 5 lbs in the past two weeks....and only 40 more to go. :rolleyes: I'd been going to the gym to do cardio for about 2 months now...every week a solid 4-5 times per week and was gettign NOWHERE fast....Added weight lifting in (again...I'd let it slip for about 9 months) and 5 lbs have magically dropped off.

It's all about lean muscle mass, baby!!! :D

Have done nothing but EAT for the past fortnight and was dreading weigh in on Tuesday, but weirdly enough I was the only one of my little group of friends to go, who'd not put on any weight at all!

Osuche your attitude is so good: 'Only 40 pounds'....I have about that to lose but it feels like loads still - I suppose once I'm past half way, it will stop feeling so daunting!

(((Lou))) ~ one day at a time. And as long as I stay properly hydrated, my body tells me when, what and how much to eat....it doesn't let me gain weight if I "tune in" to it....it's likely yours was doing the same thing. Some days we just need to eat more. ;)

I have been super stressed and unmotivated. While I have not gained I certainly am not losing. Mr. Lil got my heavy bag stand today so I am hoping that will get me excited and move me to jump back into being well.

I suggest you all take up running.

Preferably to my house, because all of you are so damn hot and sexy!!!

/me skips over to WI's place....just to be contrary :p

((((SS)))) ~ Great job. I know how hard it is to stay on track!!

I was so happy to see this thread!

I've been chunky all my life, after I met fiance I tried to lose weight--lost about 20 pounds and gained back 40. I started weight watchers in May and I've lost 42 pounds since--hoping to lose about 20 more. Fiance is 5'7 and about 150 pounds lol I felt so out of place next to him. When we first got together as a couple I wouldn't cuddle b/c of the difference in our bodies, needless to say I'm over that nonsense but being overweight definately takes a toll on your self esteem.

Good luck to anyone trying to lose the weight, and if you need some support (or tough love, hehe) message me anytime.

Ok....here is the deal. I gave this link to Nikki1979, and I thought I would share it with everyone. I am so proud of what my aunt has accomplished.

NOW...If you sign her guest book, please do not mention that you were referred by her neice at Pixies, she is a good Christian and would not approve of her neice being her. I hope you all understand.

She is such an inspiration!! :)

I'm with TOPS. 11 and 3/4 pounds down. Not sure on inches.

:jump:

I haven't posted for a while, but I'm still plugging away. I haven't been able to get to Curves since before Christmas because our car is down. But I'm still watching what I eat. With the car down I can't eat out and I KNOW that's helping.

As of today, since I started on this plan to lose weight and get healthy last May, I've now lost a grand total of 55 pounds!!!

I'm just so happy that I'm sticking with it and I'm actually accomplishing something. :jump:




























and with this fantastic information, I've made my 11,000th post. (wanted to make #11,000 a really good one :D )

((((((((SS))))))))) ~~ That is a huge accomplishment!!! Congrats. :D :wine:

Congrats!!!!

Oh my god (((SugarSprinkles.))) :faint:

That is an absolutely extraordinary accomplishment for you to have attained.

You should be so proud of yourself for sticking to it!

Kudos to you :thumb: ... and may you continue your success on the quest for a healthier you!

anyone care to stop by my place on the way to WI's?

my wife started weight watchers about 3 mos. ago and has lost almost 30lbs.its tough for her to follow the diet but she tries hard to stay with it.when she reaches her milestones she save enough points up to celebrate with a small dish of blue-bell low fat ice cream or a steak dinner (lite portions) When she lost the 30lbs we went and bought her a new dress and other things.

SugarSprinkles congrats on the weight loss!

I got on the scale this morning and realized I have gained TEN pounds in two weeks. That's extremely bad. I've been going to Curves, but....well, I've been depressed (not that I'm trying to make excuses for myself) and eating and drinking all manner of things...Chinese food, fast food, pizza, chocolate, those damn cadbury eggs that I love, Sangria.....Oh geez

I have to get back on track, or that 10 is going to turn into 20 fast. I figured I'd gain a little, but not that much. Now my favorite jeans are snug. Damn it. I'm feeling very Bridget Jonesish. LOL

Anyone else struggling?

Cherry-
(((Hugs))) I have been struggling all my life girl! LOL

If one day at a time is too hard- do one meal at a time. Thats where I have to begin when I fall off the wagon. Thats where I am today.


Hugs,
Barb

Thanks Barb (((Hugs)))

I'm using weight watchers. I lost 40-50 pounds on it last summer. I cant seem to find any motivation in winter.

Anyway, I was drinking like 4 liters of water everyday and exercising constantly. I cant see myself doing that everyday for the rest of my life :rolleyes2 For one, I don't have time.

I have to stop making excuses for myself or I'm going to gain the 50 back, plus more! Good luck ;)

WW is good. I am OP too. I did well on it a few yrs back too. Havent been able to stay motivated long either. When I get sick I get off program. I have a couple of friends who I email back and forth with- we email our jouranls to each other and our WI's.

If you want to be journal buds pop me an email. [email protected]

Hugs,
Barb
