I just saw this one and wanted to share it because I found it "cute."

Down another 5lbs. 3 to go and I am prepregnancy/wedding day weight. I always want to lose an extra 10 from here. I think I am going to stop trying and strive toward improved health and enjoy my dill pickle chips every once in a while...

Everything in moderation, Granger...and congratulations!!!

Well, it had to happen. On Dr's orders, back on my WW diet. I joined on line again...although I know the process inside out, having lost 50lbs last winter, something about putting your money where your mouth is (so to speak, lol) makes me more inclined to stick to the diet.

So, this is Day 1. I do have lunch with a Friend tomorrow, so that may throw a wrench into things, but it can't set me up for a running of more days off my diet than on.

I'm not sure if there's still an interest in this thread, so I may be alone....I'll post for a while anyway...

Lynn, I think some of us avoid this thread out of guilt But I know my time is coming as well, so you wont be alone for long. I am stuck in that "next monday" cycle.
Good luck on day 1!

I have been bad lately, I think it is a little bit of burn out and needless to say I stopped watching what I was eating. I just could not be bothered to take the time to prepare the meals I was making and it was whatever was fast and quick, grab and go. I took an extra long weekend feel like I am in a better frame of mind and ready to get back on my healthy eating lifestyle. I am doing what I can but will not go into full force until next week when I get the chance to go grocery shopping, all I can say is slim picking right now but I just do not have time until tomorrow to make it to the store.

It looks like a few of us are in exactly the same boat!! I want to be around for our Grandson, maybe to see him graduate grade 8? 12? It's doable in our family IF and only IF I can get my weight to where it should be-ish...

I lost 50 lbs doing Weight Watchers, so that's what I'm on again; I don't join, I just know that I want to only take in 20-25 points per day, which is what I did before to lose. Some days 18...others not to great, but it sure worked!!

Good luck to us!!

[YOU AND ME]

At first he said 50 lbs i said i don't think so,i'm 5 ft tall i weigh 163 so we both agreed on 30lbs

I think a lot women fall foul to all these fad diets out there either because celebrities are doing it, or some popular magazine is saying so. Losing weight is to be perceived in economics terms....maintain a deficit when it comes to meals i.e. less in, more out.

First port of call for people...lose the pop drinks including diet ones, cut out sugar, pizza, cut down on the bread/potatoes/fries, and coffee double double / triple triple if you are the type that does this.

Eat more veggies and fruits (non sweet ones). Drink lots of water

Exercise intensively and I don't mean coffee in hand walking the dog round the block. Yoga doesn't count as all you are doing is flexing. Get out there and run come rain, sunshine or snow...anything but sitting on the couch watching silly shows and stuffing face.

The first weight that comes off is water, then the fat follows. It really is that easy especially if people exercise at least 4 times a week.

Bottom line...the amount of food that is going in, has to be low with lots of exercise. There is no miracle diet or pill.

Yikes! I'm 5'4" and when I hit 180 he said I needed to lose 20, and now I've put on another 15, so... Here we are! Yeah, he says he'd like me around 160, which I was pretty healthy around there, so that's the goal!

We can do it!

I had my 6 week checkup today from having the twins. I weigh 5lbs more than my pre-pregnancy weight. If I lose 10lbs, then I will be in the top of my "healthy" weight range based on my BMI. I am 5' 10" tall. I currently weigh 16lbs less now than I did on my wedding day almost exactly 4yrs ago.

edit: My BMI is currently 26.
I need to help my dh lose weight. He gained as much as me during the pregnancy, but had more to lose to begin with.
