6'1" 195 lbs. (Weighed that yesterday afternoon)

For the first time in my life I'm overweight which makes me unhappy. (BMI is 25.7)

Trying to lose 15 to pounds at least.

I'm hoping to be able to pull that off before August.

 

[Mrs. Luther073082]

I recently lost 3 pounds during a behavior modification project and I was down another pound this morning. I don't actually know what the heck I weigh right now because both scales in my house say different things, but both scales showed a 4 pound loss. I'm hoping those stay off and that I can lose a few more before July 6th when I go to try on wedding dresses.

I'm also really trying to get back into the habit of exercising because I had to stop (per doctor's orders) working out completely for several months. Last week I exercised 5 times with swimming, which I consider very light exercise, but it is a good way to start back. Now I just need to work myself back into other things, like the elliptical and strength training and such.

Just to let you know Melissa, Swimming, according to fitness experts, is considered a high level exercise. On Wii Fit, when you declare the extra exercise you do, swimming is multiplied by 1.5 for the amount of time you swam.

*wants a Wii*

I appreciate the encouragement. Unfortunately the pool broke It got fixed today but I didn't get to swim on the days it was broken.

I am a pretty petite woman, I'm only 5' but I weigh about 115. I would really love to lose 15 pounds but I am more of a videogame/movie kinda girl than a sports/fitness one. lol So I think I have gotten down to like 107 but because of my size it takes a drastic change in my lifestyle in order to drop the weight. GRRR. I hate that.

I definitely enjoy spending my time online/playing videogames/reading/watching TV so trying to be active to lose the weight is just....difficult!

I have been walking/biking and did Zumba with my BF's mom last week. I have a 3 month pass to her gym now and am going to try and go a few more times with her. I haven't gotten any exercise this week due to a hectic schedule and rain - so I'm hoping to get a bike ride in when I get home tonight.

I'm going dress shopping in September and I would like to lose at least 10lbs between now and then. I recently lost about 7lbs. so another ten would get me a little more than halfway to where I want to be when I'm done.

I have an announcement: I bought a scale and four new pairs of jogging shorts. My VW Beetle is going to become a Miata.

 

[scraparcs]

This still going? I'm a bit closer to needing to lose 150 than 10 lbs....

According to my friend's scale, I have gained 30 pounds since January.

Wii Fit is also what I've been using lately, but I find the weight calculation is extremely inconsistent.

So...my friend told me that her scale is actually broken.

I am in big time need of losing weight. I feel that I have let myself slowly start slipping into a funk again... I find myself just sitting in my house and doing nothing at all when I am not working and such. I need to find some way to motivate myself to get healthy... not because I am so much worried about my physical appearance, but I really don't want to die at such as young age because of my weight issues.

Got a healthy tip y'all:

first thing in the morning fill a glass half full of water (not hot not cold) and squeeze half a lemon in it. Drink it down.

and seriously, change over from unhealthy salad dressings...they negate the healthiness of the salad.....

instead, squeeze lemon into some extra virgin olive oil, scramble it together and pour over the salad.....on top, put unsalted sunflower seed kernels.....

it's different, may take some gettin used to, but if yer seeeeeerious about being as healthy as possible, go for it.

and cut out white bread, white sugar, and start using healthy oils to cook with.

I feel ya.

I have only lost 6lbs or so since starting my weight loss challenge with my mom and sister, but I've been exercising a LOT...and tonight, I put on a skort that is a size smaller than I normally wear. I was really glad I tried it b/c I was feeling very frustrated with the scale this morning when I stepped on. I must be building more muscle than I realized.


I'd still like to lose the extra weight, tho.

I thought you were the motivator! Hey, we're all in this together. I've been so bad about doing nothing and slipping into a funk also, and I'm starting to worry about dying at 50 myself.

 

[CoachR64]

I tried the Atkins and it was NOT for me. I was miserable, sick, lacked energy, etc... It was awful. Just more proof that not every diet works for every person.

[smacarena]

I'm down close to 10 pounds.

I'm doing my weigh in with my mom and sister tomorrow. Here's hoping I lost the most. I would love for them to have to buy me a pedi.

Honestly, though - I'm in better shape than either of them, so I would be just as happy paying for one of them to get a pedi.
