How I did it: I have changed the way I eat and live. I changed my attitude toward food. I stopped eating when I was emotionally hungry. I made eating and preparing food something fun, by eating more of the healthy foods I like. I realized I needed to eat smaller meals more often to avoid stuffing my face when I got home from work. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Not sure how I'm doing it it. But in the last 6 months I've lost about 40 lbs. Most likely I've reduced the quantity of food I've eaten. using smaller portions and cutting out appetizers and deserts. I'm more active socially rather than staying at home watching TV. Read how I did it…
BlackRose87 is having fun living life!
How I did it: It took a long time for me to commit to working out regularly and cutting down my food portions, but once the weight started to come off, it was a huge motivating factor. It didn't happen over night, and mostly I would make small changes and hope they would stick. Read how I did it…
How I did it: i bought the turbo jam workouts and did them during the summer,i also started to change my eating habits, eating healthy and drinking lots of water. once you commit theres no going back, youll enjoy every second of the results!!!!!!!!!!!! Read how I did it…

How I did it: To put this into perspective, I've been on Weight Watchers since early 2009. I'm currently on a quest to lose half my original body weight (yes, seriously obese here) and it's easier to break the whole terrific mass down into 10-pound increments--otherwise I'd give up before I'd begun.This segment of the weight loss journey I almost threw in the towel after staying right around the same weight for over a month. There were a number o… Read how I did it…

I am not as motivated this month. I am just getting tired. I was sick. Frankly, I am not as faithful to the plan and not getting the intensity of work out as I did when I had more time and could get outside. Once I dedicate myself to a gym it will be different.
Joined Sparkpeople.com with 2 friends; keeping track of all food intake, exercise, water drank, etc. and keeping each other accountable. Goals are listed there: my.sparkpeople.com/BEBEKAH
Started running with Jessie on treadmill ~ 1x/week.
Walking with Rochel for 1 hour every Saturday morning.
On other days or when they can’t I run/exercise on my own – goal is at least 90 minutes per week of cardiovascular exercise.
Bringing shoes into work this week so I can change into them and walk during lunch break.
Started the Couch to 5K program to train on doing a 5K run by the end of the year.
Signed up for a 5K (to run/walk) on 11/8.
Had a doctor’s appointment on 10/4 and found out I’m down 14 pounds. As an extra bonus, I have cut my blood pressure meds in half, and now the diuretic portion of them is taken out so in two weeks in my bp is stable, I’ll go off them totally! Yay!
Abigail and her little gray cat.
Weighed myself this morning – 294.4 lbs. Yay! Lost 2.2 lbs in the past couple months without trying. It’s slow, but it’s the right direction. 9.4 pounds to go!
Truthfully, I completely forgot all about this site.
It’s funny though because a year and 2 months ago, my goal was to lose 40 pounds in a year.
So If I would’ve gone through with the whole ordeal, I’d be around 135 pounds right now.
I currently weigh 205 pounds.
& I’m 17 years old.
Alright, before the mouths drop, I must say that I hold it pretty well. I used to be a three-sport athlete. My sports of choice were basketball, fastpitch, and track. I even had a 2 year stint in gymnastics.
But though a lot of my weight is muscle, it’s covered by flabby fat.
[BOOO!]
& that’s why I am refreshing my goal of losing 40 pounds by March. [Giving me 5 months.]
Leaving me at a finishing weight of 165. Not quite 135, but a nice goal for now.
It’s funny how I wanted to lose 40 pounds, & instead I gained 40 pounds.
:o
We’ll see how THIS journey goes.
:]

got off track…lots of good stuff happening in life, so I got stuck here at 38 down, 2 to go. I’m pretty happy that I didn’t go the wrong way.

I can’t believe I am really able to see this as a realistic goal. I am dancing at about a 29.5-30 loss as I type and find it so wild that this is the next step. Writing on 43things has really helped me focus on my goal and Nutrisystem has helped me find the specific target areas I can change to reach them!

Down 10 pounds. Do not want to talk about it, just want to log it. There. Logged.
fondfantom is nervous.
I only lost one pound this last month. I was very disappointed. The big bad depression rolled back into town, and I know that I was eating less regularly. So, for now I have to get back on track. My goal is for another 5 loss by November 15.
