Weight Loss

[Jasman0717 9]

After going to the doc last month only to find out I am the heaviest I had ever been I decided to get serious about loosing weight. I probably have gone to the extreme by am following the general guidelines for healthy eating.

I am very excited because this time I have been able to loose weight and am currently, as of this morning, down 22 pounds. Woo Woo

Well congratulations!!! I on the other hand have been trying my best to lose weight for the past three years... and then, all of a sudden when i am about to give up, it's finally shedding off... But way too fast, my family's getting concerned. Is there something wrong with me?

I am just following the general healthy eating guide lines. You know, the grains, veggies, fruits, keep the grams of fat low. One thing that is helping is using a calorie counter and keeping track of what i each each day. I have only been doing about 1200 calories a day which is really low but when I was doing 1600 I didn't have any results.

I have also tried to eliminate as much sugar as possible so don't drink juices, sodas or use any sugar for my coffee.

i experienced a similar pattern yrs ago. i joined a gym, started a regular workout plan, and adopted better eating habits (but not best). i didn't lose a lb for the longest time, then, it seemed like i lost 15 lbs overnight. i've been able to keep most of it off but still fluctuate due to my lack of self control. i tried diet pills in the past to decrease my appetite, but won't touch them again since i buried my cousin yesterday who took fen-phen in the 90's and developed a heart condition that took her life. dieting sucks.

This has to be a life style change for me. No more fast foods or going out to eat, at least not very often. I have a goal to loose 100 pounds over the next two years and then find the proper calorie intake that will maintain that weight.

22 pounds in one month!? Wow... slow down there Jasman! Before you know you'll be down to nothing.

I found the best weight loss program. It's called stop bending your elbow, but I would not recommend it. Starvation is no way to loose the weight. Hopefully, you can reduce the starch intake as well. But anyway, CONGRATULATIONS !

22 lbs.. congrads.. think of that in potatoes.. that's a lotta potatoes

well done.. 100 lbs is a huge undertaking.. kudos for going for it!

[chri'stina 190]

I have been...but at much slower pace than you. 22lbs took me a few months. Lately I have sped it up a little more. That's ok for me though. The long slow way for me is better. And I'm not going to never eat chocolate or bad foods, I just don't as often. Definitely wouldn't call it a diet.

I think a lot of this has to do with water weight, I have tried to cut out salt. I love salt so that is hard. If I don't loose this belly fat it is going to cause a lot of medical problems. I have big plans for retirement so need to be healthy

The dietatian whipped out a rubber model of what 5 pounds of fat looks like. Ugh I have about 100 pounds of that ####### on my body that really isn't necessary Been living the good life of frid foods, fast food and bad influences Claudeth is going to have to start doing something too

Congrats Jasman I am trying to lose weight too. I joined Weight Watchers, as it has worked for me in the past. So far, I am down about 10 pounds. It's funny for me, because during my pregnancy, I ate incredibly healthy, really cut out sugars, salt, etc. and only gained about 18-20 pounds overall. Lost most of that right after the birth. Then, as my son had surgery at 2 months, I completely gave in to the stress and began eating total junk food and gained the weight back. So now I am determined to eat healthy and do things in moderation. For me, if I tell myself I can NEVER eat something, I am more likely to eventually overeat that food, so I eat healthy foods and occasionally have chocolate or something else like that.
