Tammy... You started a great thread here!

A bit about me... I"m 5'4" and at my heaviest a couple of years ago, I was up to 185 pounds... Not good. Freaked out at the doctor's office. Told the nurse her scale was wrong! LOL Left the office, went to target, BOUGHT A SCALE, got home, got naked, and YEP! 185!!!

The years crept up on me! I'm an EATER... Not much for sweets, but food is another story. Went on Atkins, dropped 40 pounds, but found myself STARING at guests while they ate bread!!! Hee Hee

Not for me.

So I crept back up to about 165, where I remained until about a year ago.

Started using the shakes... I've never been good at following a diet to the letter, so I don't use them as meal replacement, but as a filler of sorts. I have one for breakfast, one about 30 minutes before lunch so I don't eat a big one, and one just before dinner for the same reason. I hit a plateau around 150, but his week, I finally passed it!

Advice? Salads for lunch during the work-week. Wendy's Chicken BLT salad may not be the most calorie-free salad on the planet, but it's healthy and TASTY!

Oh, and Target brand shakes are cheaper and taste better than Slimfast!

And I don't deprive myself of anything, it causes CRAVINGS!!! I believe it! Just eat less of it!

And don't beat yourself up... Let the rest of the world have that job. The last 15 pounds I lost may have taken longer, but I was much happier for it!

So I'm down to 148. About 13 pounds to go. Or a size 6. I was a 16!

I wish you well on your journey, and hope we can hold each other up!

MWAH!

25...that's great!! tomorrow is my day to check. it better be good! lol.

anyway, i have a little story i wanna share. ha. today at work, i was working on a project, and this lady came to ask me something about it and goes..."so natasha, any luck on finding that?" im like "yeah i got all of th---" ..."Have you lost weight?!" lmao. she like, interrupted me and asked that so i told her about that calorie site i used. and then a few minutes later, someone else came up to me and goes..."hey what was that site you told judy about?" lol i dunno how she knew but i gave it to her. so THEN i walked over to hand over what i was working on, and another lady turns around in her chair and goes.."so HOW are you losing your weight??" and everrrybody turns around and looks at me. i was all thinking, damn news spreads fast. lol..then she goes..she lost 22 lbs by counting calories! and then everybody starts asking what?!! how?! lmao it was just so funny how everybody found out and wanted to know more and more and more. so then at lunch and break, they'd be sitting at the next table asking questions..."so what are you eating now?" lool.

i don't mind people asking about it AT ALL. i have a cousin who's lost like, over 70 lbs and when i'd ask her to help me, she'd be like, NO! that pissed me off so now that i'm losing, when people ask me im like yeeeeah of COURSE ill help you out. ask all you want! lol.

I am even more sore than yesterday..and I have class tonight...ugh..its going to be a killer, but im still going. i think im only going to do 3 days this week to ease into it. M, W, F...I ate good yesterday and today. So far so good. Weekends are so hard for me too, Dave always likes to go out to dinner and sitting across from him w/just a salad or chicken depresses me and I cave. Got to be stronger..lol

DAUGHTRY...my obsession

Back on the wagon for me.

Yes, I am compu-tarded,
Jaylynn <--------avoiding family gathering

just popping in..I actually have fallen off of the wagon and time to get back on...I got kick boxing tonight for the first time in awhile so I probably won't be able to move tomorrow. Ive been kind of depressed about my weight lately...I know it can't change itself so I guess I'd better quit stalling and just do it already..I have a bad habit of falling off the wagon. I go gang busters for a month or two and then get so tired of it...but today is a new day....thanks for letting me vent.

DAUGHTRY...my obsession

well I am not alone..this past weekend I ate like...well, you know the rest..
I still went to the gym and did great but today is a new beginning, I do not think when I weigh on Wed. I will have lost an ounce but as long as I do not gain I will try not to be upset..LOL...but off to a great new start today...come on ladies we can do it...
YAY for you Nicki on your upcoming graduation..something you will always have an education...you have reason to be proud...

Tash congrats to you 22lbs...

persistence is the word of the day, even if you fall, get back up and start again..and we can we this battle
