loose 30 pounds

I was able to go to a scale and I’ve lost 15pounds already since the beginning of June. I’m down to 174. I’m happy :) I’ve done well with food and exercising although I still want to run more, I just hate it and I def run better with a partner. Unfortunately that isn’t an option for me at the moment. I have about three months before January and before I head to the lovely beach of Durban for New Years. I’m more determined then ever to loose the other 15.
Tricks I find that work well for me are eating a relatively sizeable bfst, eating a light snack and 2 pieces of fruit at lunch. Then at dinner I eat mainly a ton of veggies. I shy away from bread, rice and pasta although I still have them, but in moderation. I cook a cup max for dinner.
Also because I know my coworkers always tend to eat out while we are out of the office I make sure not to bring money so I’m not tempted to buy french fries or fried dough balls that they love to eat.
Overall, I’m happy I just wish I would run more. I’ll def weight myself again at the beginning of November, so I’m aiming for six pounds. Hope it works out.

Ok, so I left the states and before I ate a ton of food that i knew I was going to miss, so I certainly gained, but since arriving in country I’ve know I’ve lost some weight. Since I don’t have a scale I have no idea how much. However no worries b/c I’m going to wait till November when i go back to the capital and weight myself. It will be a nice surprise. I have done the following.
Limited drinking only when there are big gatherings
I run/walk every morning for about 30 minutes although I’m hoping to increase this to 45 minutes in about two months
I eat mainly veggies, fruit and whole wheat foods and drink a ton of water.

My goal is that by November I would have lost 15 pounds since Leaving the states and i think it’s completely manageable. I’ll update you all then and good luck!

Will do this tomorrow and report back

I am started today. My weight loss goal is 30 pounds. I hope to reach this goal in a few months. I am exceriseing and dieting. The hardest thing for me is fitting it in to my bust schedule.

But I’m at 128, I will just be happy for that, 22 pounds lost…

i suuuuxxxxxxx!!!
omg im so hungry but im hopeing this is just my body is just adjusting to it. this isnt permenate just to fit in to some jeans.

I have to loose 30 pounds by the time i join my new job in august.

I actually restarted this goal (after adding it quite some time ago) at the beginning of this semester. I’ve been in Pilates for at least half a semester and so far the weight loss is a no go. In fact I’ve actually gained weight! I think Pilates alone is maybe slowing down my metabolism or something. Guess I’m going to have to kick up the cardio and start working on one of my other “things” and stop eating junk food! Good luck to the rest of you!!

I weighed in this morning at 140…this is getting annoying, I lost from 150 to 140 in a week! Now I loose a few pound and they come right back…I am a fitness trainer and it’s time I practice what I preach,I already workout 6 days a week, time to eat better. 1,000 calories a day…I plan to get down to 110 in 6 weeks…by April 9th, 110 lbs…
Day 1 – 2/26/09 – 140

im sure half of its water weight because i took a water pill and couldnt stop going to the restroom!!!! aye!
okay so those of you who know that ive just got my new gym membership again also know that this means im going back on the health band wagon!
im back on my journey to loose a total of 70 lbs ( ive lost 40 lbs so far- then gained 10 back which totals to a shred of 30).

i have been messing with my diet to figure out what works…
many peole were saying “dude, youll loose so much weight! just eat egg whites and bacon and sasuage… as much of it as you want!” ive tried that route and it made me gain weight because it got me so sleepy that i would just wake up, eat breakfast, then sleep, wake up and feel sluggish all day.

NOW!!! i went back on kashi go lean with black berries and sometimes toast or a bagel. today i ate the hot cereal and an orange with tea.
I FEEL SOOOOO GOOOD! i dont feel too energized or sluggish and i feel like its working with my body! now im thinking of investing serious $$$ on kashi cereal and maybe exlore other kashi products- i used to think it was just a regular brand with good marketing (((eeehhhheeeemmmm SPECIAL K)))!

and im ADDICTED TO FRUIT!!!!
blackberries
oranges- which is weird because i used to hate it!
mangos
strawberries
blueberries
half a bananna

im starting to take more fiber too and whole grain too!

ive had 500 calories so far today and i feel amazing for once! HOORAY!
