[superfan]

Just thought I'd mention this because it's so awesome to me!
I'm a big girl, okay? No excuses...5 foot 9 and well, into the 200's shall we say as far as pounds go. I like-a da food!
ANYWAY!
I've lost 10 pounds in three weeks!!
Starting weight: 265lbs ( )
Current weight:255lbs
Goal:165

Wish me luck, I have a loooooooong way to go.

Congratulations, superfan. Keep it up! (er, I mean, down!)
And let me ask the question everyone seems to ask when someone loses weight -> Are you doing a diet plan, such as Weight Watchers or Atkins, or are you just cutting back calories on your own?
I've had a long up and down battle with weight. Currently I need to shed some pounds again but haven't been successful.

Hey, a good start! Congrats. I'm sure you'll be able to get to your goal. Every little bit makes a huge difference.

Heh heh I see I just pulled a Ziffel on Mrs. Pepper. Been a few days since I've done one of those.

I'm underweight big time!

Ziffel:
Thanks for the support! Would you believe I'm on Richard Simmons Deal-A-Meal!!? It's a combination of that and 35 minutes of walking at a fast pace (part of it's uphill, too!!)everyday, and working at a daycare where snacking is at SPECIFIC times of the day and portions are limited. It's so hard to be motivated at times...I guess being thirty, it's just like, omigod, Amy, it's now or never.

Mrs.Pepper:
Thanks for your support too! I'll keep ya'll posted!

AnythingMuppet:
Underweight. *sigh* you poor dear.
Seriously, though, , are you healthy despite that? Hope so! Enjoy the junk while you still have the metabolism!

 

[anythingmuppet]

Oh, yeah tip top shape! I am just skinny, that's all. ( I eat junk all the time, but I never gain weight that much! )

Hey that's great. I remember when that came out in the late 80's or so and have heard it mentioned once in a while in recent years. I never tried it but have heard it's pretty good. A lot of the plans have their good points. One I did well with once was Nutri System. The nice thing about that is all the meals are ordered from them in advance (and a big variety of meals, some pretty tasty) so it makes it an easy plan to follow (other than when the body wants some additional food to eat, of course!). I see now that Nutri System offers food to be purchased online and it will be delivered to your door. That might be something I'll do if I continue to struggle in getting back to my ideal weight. Having it delivered without having to drive to the nearest Nutri System location is pretty convenient. Of course the main drawback with this plan, like a lot of plans, is once the weight is off then you are through with the food and have to try and KEEP it off again. And weight maintenence is often a bigger challenge than weight loss!

The thing with food is that it's not like you can completely give it up like drugs or alcohol. You NEED food to live. Portion control is tricky. I'm big boned too...nothing dainty about me at all. Big shoulders! Big hands and feet...so not only am I overweight, I've got a large frame. Thank goodness I'm relatively proportionate.
My mom's on weight watchers and has lost the same amount of weight as me.

Now if only I could lose weight without having to live on one waffle and a 1/3 cup of mac-n-cheese a day.
