How I did it: I started staying with my boyfriend during the school semester to save money on driving back and forth to school. Pretty soon I just never left, and more and more of my stuff starting showing up here...lol. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got dumped by a not so great guy, and discovered that a friend I had known since 2001 was everything I had been looking for and more. It all just kind of fell together, though there was a little awkwardness at the beginning. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used the Weight Watchers points system, and in about six months, had lost about 50 pounds. Six months later, I've kept it off. I still have more to go, but baby steps are working for me. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
Another month has rolled by and I’m now down a total of 23 pounds. I’m a little disappointed in my self this last week because I went way over my Points limits what with the night out drinking, the fast food meal, and the fat-loaded breakfast on Sunday morning. I not only used up all my “extra” points, but a full day’s worth on top of that. There was no weight gain, but there wasn’t any loss either.
I haven’t been exercising lately either, so I’m going to try to do something at least 2 or 3 times a week. Something is better then nothing.
In the last five weeks I’ve managed to take off 13 pounds, through a combination of diet and exercise. Hopefully in five more weeks I can say I’ve lost another 13 pounds on top of this. :)
