Lose 100 lbs.

Step one completed … I resisted my favorite food .. lol

Yes, I’m a teen, and yes, the normal weight for people my age is 100 less than what i am now ..

I need to do this now .. cause later, I know it wont help me ..
no i don’t have a low self-esteem of myself (NOT AT ALL), but I really want to fit in … clothes that I like lol (since I love buying stuffs ,, but the only thing i can buy by quantity now are shoes and shirts ..)

So yes .. I hope I lose 100 lbs., and if I do, i swear I’ll run a marathon (for a good cause)

Ok I have to admit that I don’t do sports or I don’t eat healthy (I skip dinner sometimes lol) so .. I should really .. get into it but I DONT KNOW HOW

PS: dont wanna super skinny .. so when I’ll lose 80 lbs. (if I .. start a diet or start doing exercise) well .. I’ll be happy .. =)

I just wanna lose some weight from legs, tummy and BUTT, but wanna keep my curves … =P

I have been trying to lose 100 lbs. It is so tempting. I just got off of the cabbage soup diet where it is very strict. But during the diet on day two I couldn’t eat the soup anymore. So this is my first day off and I want to eat real food. Problem is I look at the calorie amount and it is like Oh My God!! like 190 calories for 27 squares and the squares are small. (That was the cereal) That’s not even looking at the milk. Right now at this moment I am at 207.8 with the height of 5’6 so my BMI is 33.5. I have always been a big girl. Right now my age is 19 and my goal is to be closer to 170 by Thanksgiving. I hope I make it.

I started a weight loss journey on 8/3/09 to lose 100 pounds. As of today (9/22/09) I’ve lost 21 pounds. So far, it has been primarily through calorie reduction, just smaller portions of the foods I love. (I am a carb lover, pizza, pasta, breads, potatoes, etc. so I knew a low-carb diet would definitely not work for me!)

I have attempted to drink more water, eat more vegetables and get a little more sleep. What I need to do is pick up the exercise pace a bit and then the weight will come off even faster!

While I feel well, and I am over all healthy, i do want to lose 100 pounds. I am so afraid of diabetes, strokes, heart disease etc! The amount of weight I have to lose overwhelms me so i will have to break it down into smaller chunks. I hope I can make some progress.

Today I made another trip to the gym. Before heading to the pool I weighed myself again, I’m down to 239.3. That means that I have lost about 18.7 pounds since I started this healthy new lifestyle. YAY!!! I still have a good ways to go to meet a healthy goal but I’m making some progress.

I have started using a Food and Fitness Journal, using a link off of WebMD. Here is my journal for today, August 05, 2009: http://www.webmd.com/diet/food-fitness-planner-calculator?print=true

I have my good days and bad days but I’m still trying to keep my small goals in mind that will all add up to my final goal. Let me know if you have any suggestions, THANK YOU!!!

I have been to the gym three times this week and I have done yoga/pilates once. I try to work out between one and two hours each time I go to the gym and yoga was 30 minutes.

I weighed myself on my most recent trip to the gym and I was 241.8 pounds. That’s still a lot of weight but I have to remember that it is going to take some time to lose this weight but at least I am trying to loss it.

I didn’t go to the gym today but I will go tomorrow…maybe my roommate will want to tag along this time.

I need to lose weight, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. However, this past week was really hard. I had a conference I had to go to which was held at UNC-Charlotte. That meant that while I was at this required conference I didn’t have access to a gym, sat all day long listening to lecture after lecture, and the only thing I really ate last week was either caf. food or fast food.

I think I probably gained a pound or two, I’m not really sure. But I did manage to make it to the gym tonight and I worked out for about one and a half hours. I also got a yoga and pilates workout video and materials so that I could try to tone up and work out on those long days that I can’t make it to the gym before it closes.

I’m trying but it is getting harder. I just need to keep in mind that I don’t like the way I look and feel at this weight and binging out on junk food isn’t going to make this weight disappear. I’ll try to keep it up and keep everyone posted on what’s going on…

I am 20 years old and in college. I should be enjoying college and life but instead I am holding myself back from having any fun. Some of my hesitation is because of my weight. I have tried to convince myself that I am completely okay with the size that I am and it’s just other people that have the problem with it…that not true because I do have a problem with how big I have somehow manage to get over the years.

On June 18, 2009, I decided that I had to lose weight and I went that day to the gym on my college campus and signed up for a membership. I don’t go every single day, but I have been going several times a week for at least one hour. I have attempted to eat healthier since then too. I have cut out most fast-food meals and started eating salads, tuna, grilled chicken, Lean Cuisines, yogurt and I have managed to cut out sodas quiet a bit. I also don’t spent too much time in front of the television anymore because I got rid of my cable so I just get to watch the movies I have.

On June 18, I weighed about 258 pounds. It has been a month and a few days since then and I have lost about 16 pounds. According to my BMI, I should weigh no more than 146 pounds. This leaves me with at least 96 pounds left to lose. I am hoping that I will be able to lose between 5 and 10 pound each month. I keep everyone updated with how well it is going.

I’ve weighed 300+ lbs. 318 to be exact May 1, 2008. I was so miserable and couldn’t beleive 7 yrs after my last of 3 pregnancies, I weighed more than I ever did at 9 months pregnant. I was completely depressed and felt like the biggest failure ever. I’ve always been a go getter even though I’ve been over weight and fighting obesity since puberty. But my go get had got up and gone!!! At some point being fat just became a normal way of my life. Acceptance of myself was the worst thing I ever did to me. On May 1, 2008 I “woke” up. Something inside of me said it was time to take a stance and no longer accept that it was ok to be 318 lbs. because I wanted to live my life again. The key to my success was realizing that I didn’t have to do it all over night. I just had to do something!!! My first goal was just to lose 9 lbs so I could be under 310. My next goal was to lose 10 lbs so I could be under 300. Each goal I set was at 10 lb intervals within 5 weeks. Each time I met that goal I felt more and more successful. And let me tell you there is no quicker way to stop feeling like a failure than to make yourself successful at something. Doesn’t matter what it is…the more times you reach a goal the more you realize this is possible. Don’t think about the long term of reaching 155lbs…Keep your vision on the short term. All of those short terms add up. It’s now a year and 3 weeks since I woke up and I’m 216. I’ve lost 102 lbs in a year!!!!! Did I set myself out to take that long? NOPE I never gave it any thought!!!!! Have I been 110% dedicated every single day of that year?...NOPE…but after a couple days of breaks I would feel the dissapointment in myself for not keeping my focus…so I got right back on board. I have 61 more lbs to go to reach my Dr’s suggested “Ideal Weight” I havent seen the other side of 200lbs in close to 20 yrs. But I know if I can loose that past 102 lbs I can keep losing the next 61.
