Lose 15-20 pounds.

I need to lose 20 pounds. I weight I’m 6’3 and weigh 250 and need to drop 20 to help my joints…

So the past year and a half has not been nice to my tummy, thighs and overall health. It’s amazing how when I was a teenager I didn’t have to think about this kind of thing, my metabolism was just right and while I wasn’t insanely skinny, I was a happy size. Now, 3-4 years later, here I am with a part time job, full time college courses, a serious relationship and weeks flying by like they’re minutes. How does someone make time for taking care of themselves without sacrificing homework, work or relationships?

Currently, I’m borrowing my friend’s Wii Fit game and also trying to get my DDR stuff all together so I can play it again (I was a real dork in high school and I bought a metal ddr pad off of ebay. unfortunately now I can’t find the adapter cord I need…sigh) I’m also hoping to set aside time at least twice a week to devote to using my bellydance work out videos.

The Wii Fit is awesome! it clicks into my competitive nature and so far I haven’t missed a day and I think I’m on day 10 or something. I want to clock at least 30 minutes on the wii fit, doing yoga, strength, aerobics and/or balance games. Ideally I’d like to work up to 45 minutes.

My ultimate goal is to lose about 15-20 pounds by Christmas time. I want to fit into my old jeans ans skirts and whatnot. so yeah! we’ll see how this goes!!!

LETS GET TO WORK!

Ok so when i went away to university i gained 30 lbs over two years now finishing my 4th year i would like to lose the remaining 20lbs (ok 25) but so I am now making this public to encourage myself to acctually do it!

i am trying to in total loose 15-20 pounds but need to loose 10 pounds before nov 10,2006 when i will be going to california to meet a good friend of my boyfriends. i am 5 9’ and around 150pounds,i think.Im about to go online and make a healthy food grocery list of meals for the next 2 weeks.I plan to do 45 min of cardio 3-4 times a week and 100 sit ups a night.I might attempt some lunges but i hate those so no promises!!

I’m gonna stop using numbers now, and just focus on my own outlook of my body and measurements. If I feel comfortable and healthy then I’ll be happy.However I am still keeping in mind my goal weight of 49 kilograms(7 stones & 7 pounds)

Oh Jesus(Lesley) !!. Why? Why does life kick me when all I really need is a hug? Apparently, I’ve gained. But truly its my fault, I haven’t been eating healthy and I haven’t been weighing myself at all! I didn’t know what to expect, but I guess it could of been worse. I thought I weighed around 120, but I’ve recetly found out that I weigh 125. Yes, another five pounds to lose for a total of 20 pounds in 14 weeks. Can I do it? Who knows? Does this ecxtra five pounds bring up my determination? I don’t know, but right now,I’ll try to focus on my lack of hope.One day, ..........I’ll be happy.

I still don’t lnow how much I exacle weigh.The last time I checked I was 118, but I feel like I’ve gained weight(probably just me being paranoid).So, my goal weight was originally 104,then 108 for some time, then 105, then 106, and now back to 105.I’m trying not to go back to my 104 goal, because I feel that is a bit pushing the edge(like 105 is big difference!).I’m 5’ 1 and a quarter” and I really can’t wait to reach my goal. Why does this sem soo difficult. aybe its because I’m trying to be a perfectionist about the whol weight loss process.

On Feb 5, 2006 I will attempt yet another journey to lose weight. I really didnot know how difficult it was going ot be when I first had gotten started. Anyway, I’ve decided to start then because I figured that for this week I would mentaly and physically prepare for this lifestyle change. Sadly,...........it has not been so much praparation as its been Binging on every and any high-fat food!I’ve also skipped breakfast and lunch several times.Okay so there, thats my confession.Though I am truly excited about this new change and the effects it’ll have on me.Sometimes, I come to think that I’m only osing weight because I want this perfet body in my head. I am 5’ 1”, 120 pounds and would like to be 105. Is that too little? And my goal is to lose the 15 pounds by May 5,2006.Is that realistic?
