How I did it: I would say the number one factor for me was cutting out soda. I allow myself one on occassion now, but in the beginning, I cut it out completely. Another big change was drinking my coffee black. I tend to get headaches if I don't have any caffeine, but I always used lots of cream in my coffee. Took the cream out, and it helped make a big difference too. I'd like to lose about 5 more pounds, but it's not necc… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I watched my caloric intake, and later on I started exercising. I lost it slowly, since for a few months there I kind of ditched it. But, after I was down to 250 or so (from 260 when i started), I felt like making a permanent change in what I wanted to be, physically. I am 230 now. Watching what you eat is easier than eating whatever you want and trying to exercise yourself into a caloric deficit. What's easier, not eating a 400 calo… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I have sad news.... The way I pulled this off was going to the gym and eating right.

i did it before but gained back 15, idealy i would really lose 33 lbs before march, i like my body but i also liked it when my favorite pants fit haha (also i need to do this to improve my running ability)
candiedsky just finished her exhilarating workout. :))))
So, I was really thinking about this goal, and how it seems to control me, what with trying to reach it.. when I thought about something..
My scale doesn’t even work. You step on it once, it reads 140. You get off. Step up again, and it says 135 or lower, or higher. So in a shorter amount of words, I don’t know how much I weigh.
So who knows what me, 30 pounds lighter, would look like? I could look sickly….
I CAN’T COPE WITH ALL THIS FAT :|
I also can’t cope with the fact i can’t be strong enough to lose it >:|
ARH
tomorrow its going to happen. I will cut down on food and eat 0 carbs!!!!!!!
kmalavsky is just beginning to use this site.
For the last 3-4 years I have wanted to lose weight that I have slowly put on in my 40s. I have tried several strategies and most recently had good success with Medi-Weight (appetite suppresant, very low calorie, vitamin supplement injections). I lost 16 pounds over about 5 weeks but felt such complete deprivation that when I fell off the wagon I couldn’t get back on. I haven’t quite gained it all back but I am discouraged.
loveonrepeat I wish that I could just be brave.
Starting Weight: 155
Last Week’s Weight: 143.5
This Week’s Weight: 147
Calorie Consumption Goal: 8,200 – 10,150
Calories Consumed: 10,332
Calories Burned Goal: 600
Calories Burned: 551
According to my numbers, last week was definitely not a good one. I didn’t really think it was that bad until I ran the numbers. Way too many calories & not enough exercise. And I weighed 147 this morning but I’m not too worried about that. I always weigh a lot the day after I eat a bunch of crap, like on Halloween. Plus I started my cycle this morning so I’m terribly bloated. I expect my weight will seem higher this week. Now if I weigh next week and it’s still 147, I’m going to be terribly disappointed. But I’ll worry about that then. I feel like I can get back on track this week pretty easily. The only concern I have is that I don’t usually feel well during my cycle and I’m afraid I wont feel like exercising. I going to follow the “something is better than nothing” mantra and just work out as much as I can tolerate. If I get started, I usually end up working out for longer than I intended anyway. Hopefully I can make that work for me this week. I don’t want to use one bad week as an excuse to give up.
going gym today…only have 5 more kilos to go…yay! i just have to eat and think healthy
OH MY GOD. i have got so fat. i was trying to lose weight and i put on 1/2 a stone?

My body deserves to be treated better. anybody have any advice that really works for procrastination? anyone have work out routines that can be done in the privacy of my apartment?
loveonrepeat I wish that I could just be brave.

I tried something new this week. I was reading a Daily Spark blog by coach Nicole about the tool she uses to stay motivated. It was the Monthly Tracking Calendar. She said it helped to see her progress. If she saw a lot of missed exercise days, she was motivated to work harder. And when she saw that she was meeting or exceeding her goals, it made her feel great about her progress. I used to do something similar in that every day that I was active, I put a silver star on my calender. But I think the small size and color of the stickers made it difficult to see. Plus, I became so used to seeing them that their meaning no longer clicked when I looked at the calendar. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try Coach Nicole’s method.
Of course, I don’t have $12 plus S&H to buy an actual Monthly Tracking Calendar. So I decided to see if I could use what I have on hand. I ended up just using my regular calendar and marking off boxes in each date to represent my goals. It ended up working pretty well. I couldn’t help but notice when I missed a goal and I definitely felt good when I saw a couple completed goals in a row. So I’m going to keep with this method and see how it goes.
Anyway, I’m cautiously optimistic about my progress. I lost a bit of weight this week and I did pretty well with exercise. Even on days I didn’t actually work out, I was doing something that kept me active. I still have a long, long way to go. But I’m feeling much more positive about my plan than I have in weeks. I just hope I can hold on to that feeling.
