Rep Power: 0 | | Hey everyone! I also new to this site. Im motivated, but I need that extra support that I don't get from home. Im 235 and Ive lost 5lbs so far. I lost 9 lbs at one point but I gained the 4lbs back  . It's something about the 10 lbs loss that always makes me gain it all back. Once I get to 10 lbs, I can never lose anymore. Ive been on weight watcher 3 times and it's the same thing, 10 lbs lost, 10 lbs gained. That's why im here. Hopefully I can get support and information that I need to get from a 10lbs loss, to an 80 lbs loss! Thanks! |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Guess I'm part of this club now since this week, after 2 and a half months of hard work, that first number changed from a 3 to a 2! Still have a ton to go obviously, but I've made a promise to myself and plenty of those around me that I will NEVER SEE THAT 3 AGAIN. Don't take this the wrong way, but here's to losing the next 99 and wishing this club farewell!

For me it seems like I get a point about 3 weeks in that I am like I have done soo good for the last 3 weeks that I am gonna just eat what I want today... then it turns into the rest of the week.. gonna "re-start my diet on Monday" syndrome... and then it's a month before I try again... But I will try to help keep you motivated if you help me!!!
WE WILL BE SKINNY!!! |

How's the basketball/crazy partying going?

That's what happens to me too. I was down at 243 like my scale says but vacation is evil especially when the food tastes soooo good!
I think I'm back up to 248 now. Eh.
Anyway, I'm unsure of how to break your plateu since I'm having the same problem obviously. But maybe once you lose the 10 pounds, you should try some different / new exercising video that will seem entertaining and fun to do for a while and maybe it will help you from regaining those 10 pounds. |

It is SO HARD living with someone who does not eat healthy. Also, having to get up for work at 4 am and getting off at 5 pm doesn't make you feel all the excited to work out. But tomorrow marks the start of it all.
My friend called today to tell me the exact date of her wedding and I'm a bridesmaid. I have until April 2009 to loose at least 80 lbs. Think its do-able?
| Congratulations on finally moving into the new house! I just barely joined LA Fitness, haven't been there yet, I'm going today tho. So, let me know how Ballys works for you. I was thinking about going there, but LA just had so many more locations that were closer to me.
Oh, I think that you can lose 80 by April. I'm actually hoping you can because my goal is similar to yours, to lose about 75 by May. So good luck to both you and myself. |

Rep Power: 9011 | | Welcome Moliss22, lafattack8705, and emericana! Congrats on all your hard work and pounds gone!
Kevi, I LOVE brown rice!
Spartacus: I'm glad your still working out! I stopped working out for a week, and am trying to get back on track with that now.... and my calves are killing me after 15 minutes in the morning, and 13 in the evening on my elliptical!!
I came by to check on you all, see how everyones doing, and to report another 2lbs gone!  |

Rep Power: 6300 | | I love the brown rice, too. Unfortunately, my hubbie is a chef and prefers white. And he's a chef. I eat what he cooks. Mmmmm.... ;-)
Thanks for the encouragement!!! This is summer. I need structure in my day and I'm broke, so going to the gym provides both. Good job on the elliptical!! Do you have one at home? I could only hope... one day!!
Keep at it!!
Oh, and congrats on the weight loss!! I'm still a pound higher than my sig says. Whoops!

Rep Power: 185 | | | I agree with veronica, brown rice is nasty, but I have to stick with it for awhile haha. I'm seeing results or say difference in how much i weigh. | |
