I need to lose 45 lbs by Feb 18th 2009 4 weeks ago

I need to lose this weight by feb. My brother is getting married and it would be so nice to be back to my normal weight. I just had my 2nd son August 3rd so I still have 20 lbs to lose from that pregnancy to be back at my normal weight.



Not going so well...but I'm still hopefull 2 months ago

I managed to reach the halfway point, but I ended up gaining it all back. I’m about to live on my own for the first time and I think it will help if I’m buying my own food and won’t be exposed to other people’s snacks and unhealthy stuff. I don’t think it’s a big ask to expect to achieve this by December. It would be wonderful to get there before my birthday.

This is for me 4 months ago

I want this not only for physical health but also for mental health and self esteem. I am currently sitting at 150lbs and want to get down to around 110lbs. I was a dancer and has two major injuries in the past 2 and a half years. I was also very active playing a lot of sport and after the injuries i put on a lot of weight about 25 lbs and lost my confidence and ended up eating more and and putting on another 15lbs. I want my old body back. I want to be able to dance again because it is one of the few things that i have a true passion for in life. I will do this. I know I can. Good luck to everyone else as well!!

It’s been ages since I posted. 2 months apparently. I wish I could say I lost more than I did. I’m down to 153. But I’m now exercising regularly. =) An hour every day.

Starting weight:160
Current weight: 153
Goal weight: 120.

I started counting calories April 18, 2009 and have lost 10 lbs but still have 40 to go. My goal is to lose it by Dec 31st. I hope to lose sooner than that but I figured I should do it slowly.

Good luck to me!



Off to a good start 5 months ago

I have started the Nutrisystem program last Saturday and I have lost 7 lbs the first week. Now, of course I don’t expect to lose like that every week but I like the jump start! I’m excited and feel like I’m actually going to do it this time. I figured i’ll give myself 4 to 5 months to reach my goal. This is super hard for me. I hope I can keep it up!

This is simply a matter of making appropriate choices. Why, then, is it sooo hard.
