prettybabyXD is trying to figure out what she's going to do with her life

a more healthier lifestyle 1 week ago

well i have always had weight problems ever since i was a kid. the other day i reached an all time low when i stepped on the scale and was at my highest weight i have ever been. really i need to lose more than 50 lbs ( more like a 100 ) but really 100 lbs a bit too much for me right now. i always heard that for one to lose weight they need to set goals to take it one step at a time and this is my first weight goal.



I need to lose alot of weight 1 week ago

If I lose 50 lbs. I would be the happiest person in the world. Words can’t describe how happy I would be if I lost that much weight.



Time to make it happen! 1 month ago

I have always been pretty heavy. Right now I am actually lighter than I have ever really been at 190 lbs, but that’s just not good enough for me. I settled there after initially losing 80 lbs and getting worn out by all of the effort. I am totally going after that last stretch with a vengeance!

ugh... when will i get there? 1 month ago

I have struggled with my weight since i was 17 (im almost 21) I dont really have a support system, my boyfriend seems to not mind, so thats not motivating, my mom just tells me im fat everytime i see her and my step dad looks at my stomach and watches me when i dont eat anything healthy (he’s overwieght himself) i hate working out, which is the problem. I tried counting calories, ive tried weight watchers, special k challange, just eating healthy. I cut out coffee, soda, fast food, anything fried, sweets and tried eating more salads and fruit and water. it just isnt enough. im a student and dont have money for a gym membership or a personal trainer. i just cant find the motivation to not eat white grains, meat or to work out!! any advice??

Doing great 3 months ago

I’ve been going to the gym almost everyday for a month now. I’ve altered my diet, too. I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast, regular rice/viand lunch and if I can, almost no dinner. I try to drink multivitamins regularly and drink green tea before bedtime.

I stopped the compulsion to check my weight everyday. Actually, I broke the scale not because of my weight but I stepped on the edge and it banged hard on the floor so there. But I did notice that my jeans are so much looser these days. And people are starting to tell me that I look slimmer.

One of these days, I’ll buy a weighting scale to really know how much weight I’ve lost. But right now, I’m feeling grand because I’m on track with this.

The most difficult part is trying not to eat too much.

Wii Fit To The Rescue! 4 months ago

I haven’t done anything with my weight loss. I stopped taking my prescription and stopped getting any type of exercise. The last month has been beyond stressful. I’ve had a ton of doctor’s appointments, my grandmother passed, and now I’m having surgery in a week to have a tumor in my chest removed. One of the things my family does in stressful times is eat, and therefore, so have I. Yesterday I’d had enough, went out and bought a Wii Fit. Today was the first day I got to use it and woo boy, I don’t know whether to hang myself or be excited. First off, I’m back at 236 lbs according to my balance board; I have a BMI of 33.74 which is Obsese, and my center of balance is off 49.8% to 50.2%. My Wii Fit age is only 25, which isn’t bad considering that will be my real age in just 3 months. After 39 minutes of trying each available activity (and the ones I unlocked during those 39 minutes), I dropped .7lbs, dropped my BMI to 33.64, but upped my Wii Fit age to 27.

For those of you toying with the idea of buying a Wii Fit, I can tell you it’s worth every penny. Do yourselves a favor though, pick up the rechargeable battery back and the DreamGear set with the Yoga mat and silicone cover.
