weigh 120 pounds

5’6”
138 lbs

I would be so happy to lose that extra 18 pounds; I would feel cleansed, strong, like I have again the lovely and slim look that I currently miss dearly.

Sometimes it feels like exercise doesn’t positively affect the attempted weight loss, but I believe that there is an initial ‘hump’ which one must overcome before they are truly in the groove of things. Cardio every day along with eating the right foods when I am hungry seems like the way to go if i want to achieve this goal. I should continue with this regimen for 2 weeks, then reevaluate if necessary.

I will research for foods that I can eat 3 times a day that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle. I am looking for advice and facts about foods that can be easily burned off with 30 minutes of cardio per day.

Right now…
1) Choose healthy foods
2) Eat the healthy foods at appropriate times
3) Excersize

**On #1, note that i am cutting white bread, white rice, sugar, processed sugars, high calorie beverages, candies, and desserts in general from my diet.

Just a couple of pounds to loose. I’m aiming for 110 but this is a good part-way goal.

Man I wish I wasn’t so obese. I weigh 148 Pounds and I’m 5”6. Gross I know. I’ve tried everything from bulimia to crash dieting but nothing seems to work. Maybe I’m just mean to die a fat old lady.

Im 12 about 5’7 and 140 pounds:(when i went to tha doctor 2 yaers ago i was one 60 and 20 pounds over weight.i lost 20 pounds in 6 months by beairly eating.i know thats not good but it seemed like tha only way.now i wannah loose 20 more pounds in 2 weeks so i can start at a new school likeing my body and no bing fat…..

This is my goal weight. The lowest weight I felt best at was about 111, but I was an inch shorter, and it only lasted for about a week. So I’m shooting for just a little more.

i am the largest i have ever been in my life and i hate it! my friends don’t seem to believe how much weight i’ve actually gained, since i don’t have a huge belly or anything, but it really pisses me off that i have gone this far. my mom has been telling me not to start now because it will only get harder as i keep getting older. this morning i weighed 150 pounds, and not too long ago i was a steady 155 (not good for being 5’6”). at least that is some progress, but i would like to never see those numbers again unless i’m pregnant! in high school and for a while in college i was around 120, not teeny tiny or anything but definitely was in good shape and liked my body. these days i would do anything to fit into my clothes like that again! i have been struggling with this for a few years now, always setting high goals and strict standards for myself, only to fail and give up and be upset about it. this time i just want slow progress with realistic goals. i know i can drop 10 pounds in a week by not eating, but that isn’t a mindset i want to get into, since i know it doesn’t last forever (trust me!). i want it to last and be the start of consistent healthier choices for me.

Current Weight: 185
Height:5’1
excessively overweight…

Okay… I’ve been slipping bigtime.

I’m depressed, I’m out of school and I need a fulltime job. I need new goals and I need to make them realistic.

I have been sick with the flu, or some crap and now I’m getting over it…it caused me to lose some valuable workout days (3.5 days). I worked out extra hard today and my left leg started to give out on me. Not good. Over exertion can cause more problems then it’s worth! Anyway, I was 127 before I got sick last week, and now I’ve blown up a bit, and look down to see this big belly sticking out. ugh

I’m sure i’m at 130 or more, and don’t want to humiliate myself by jumping on the scale right now. (oddly, when i get thinner, i am always kicking myself and thinking that i should have gotten out the cam corder, to show myself how horrible i looked).

Anyway, I know i need to regulate my blood sugar, yet there’s junk food everywhere that I haven’t been able to stop eating! I have 2 weeks out of the month where I’m totaLLY uncontrollable. Right before my cycle hits, I end up eating all kinds of crap.

Right now I want to get down to 120 and in order to do that, i’m going to have to cut out all kinds of bad foods and sugary drinks! I need to REALLY TRY. No more excuses!

Is there anybody out there who can muster up some will power and time to encourage a small group of us to keep each other going?

I’m IN! (well for the moment, anyway.)

I weigh about 130. I wouldn’t say I’m overweight but there’s times when i feel like the extra bagagge is very unappealing… That’s why I want to lose it.
