get to a healthy weight

I’m working my arse off… every day is tough, but I’m getting there! I’m hoping to join the army early in 2010!!!

I’m setting big goals for myself!

I put on most of my weight the first time after quitting smoking. I lost about 30 lbs by exercising pretty hard and doing the South Beach Diet. The weight started coming back after I started eating grains again because I thought it was unhealthy not to and about the same time, I got plantar fasciitis in my feet and had to stop exercising.

I managed to stay the same for about 2 years by walking a lot and eating right. Then, in Sept. of 2008 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and the treatments left me unabale to do much exercise for several months and I was also unable to eat complex carbs or vegetables while on chemo. It was too easy to turn to comfort foods. I’m now at the highest I’ve ever been.

I’m feeling good and able to crank up the exercise now. I already walk nearly every day, but that’s not enough. I’m going to add working out to videos and on the treadmill with an incline to my routine. And I’m going to say no to unhealthy temptations, eat healthy, non-processed foods, and reduce grains.

My plan: lose 53 pounds.

20 pounds lost since Easter and… about 15 since the beginning of june alone.

Starting weight was 263, this morning, 243. Getting there!

I’m working hard at this one right now as I am hoping to join the army this fall. I need to lose 100 pounds but I will be happy if I lose 50 pounds by fall. Estatic actually!

Wish me luck!

I don’t care so much about the aesthetics; my wife loves me for who and how I am.

But I want to stick around for my kids and, hopefully someday, my grandkids.

I don’t want to spend my life hating my body. I don’t want to be a stick, but I want to be the correct weight that fits my height and build.

I want to get to a healthy weight by the time I graduate from college. The highest non-overweight weight for my height is 147, so I want to be, say, 145.

I’m writing this on 1 July 2008, at 225.6 lbs.
I need to be 145 by 10 May 2010, with a loss of 80.6 lbs.

I have 22 months in which to do this, or an average of -3.6 lbs per month, or -0.9 per week.

..... i’ll be at a healthy weight for my height(6’2) defo,
i reckon about 13 stone shall be good maybe 13 and a half.
lots to do though as i’m over 23 stone at the moment! shocking!
gym 5 times per week( mon,wed,fri,sat,sun) and three small meals and 2 fruit based snax should do it! yeah.

23stone 9lbs start weight

I would like to get to a healthy weight. I have been struggling for years with the same extra pounds. I need to start enjoying life and stop rejecting it due to my weight.
