Anyone ready to ring in the new year...and lose weight/get fit?

Wow that's pretty oesdog!!!! YAY!




I feel better!!!! I have energy!! I have ENERGY! I've been eating too!! Last night I ate my entire plate of stir fry! (homemade, so not icky!)... I managed to do TWO DAYS of housecleaning - and I made plans for today. They fell through but the point is I'd have NEVER made plans on a Friday (since I tend to get jobs on Friday and the duality of social endeavors and work overruns me usually). I'm feeling good!!

I feel like I look healthy thin instead of sick thin now!

I wish I had a scale so I could tell you I gained, but hey! I think I did! My arms aren't shaking from exertion anymore, anyway.

Yay! Someone shorter than me!!! <3

I feel all those smilies and then some!!! My eyes don't feel sunken in and exhausted anymore!

I'm hoping to gain more weight than I lost, I think. I really think if I do I may stop getting so sick so often. I was hospitalized 3 times last year.

That's awesome news Elizabeth!

And yes, being a "healthy weight" is just that, more healthy. More likely that you'll stay out of the hospital. Yay!

yay, elizabeth! do not over do! slow and steady and mindful of the gains. you're thought of 'positively'.

Hello

I started this huge thread, and I haven't checked in in like forever, so here's a quick update:
I haven't been doing great, but I haven't been doing too bad either.
I've cut back on snacks at night, and I replaced my morning chocolate milk with coffee. Although I put a lot of milk and sugar in it, it still isn't nearly as bad as chocolate milk.
Its kinda hard to lose weight in our household because we eat out quite a bit and mom buys/bakes a lot of cookies and such.
But I weigh about 140# now, so I suppose I've dropped about 2 pounds.

It seems like you all are doing very well, congradulations!

Yes you did Nupine!! Thanks for letting us know how you're doing. Hey, anything is better than nothing. I think most of us are trying to work on lifestyle changes, not just lose weight. Although, losing weight is a nice bonus

There are very good people on this thread.

Ok just editing this post cause no one has been on since I wrote it!!!!!
I haven't posted my weight yet today. Hope you guys are still doing this????
I am sooo not doing very well right now with the weight loss. I am now 151?????? I am 1 lb higher than when I started back in January?????
However I do enjoy the company on here. I am more aware of how I have made bad choices in what I eat and am working on that to get it right.
I wish I was at least a stone lighter. If I only lost 12/14 lbs I would be sooo happy. I think I made unrealistic goals though and that is why I have not reached them.
So I am going to say - In 6 months time by the start of September I would like to think I have lost that stone? It gives me a good long way to go and no pressure. I also have the summer months where we are by nature more active and brighter and tend to eat better - more salads etc.

Anyhow I really don;t like the way I look right now so I need to be working on that for me!!! I also need to think positively that I have already lost 20 lbs!!! Ok I put a few back on but I have done that so I need to hold onto that. Had I not done that I would be sitting here today a whole lot heavier than I am.

Keep it up everyone and don;t be discouraged. I know I had a really black time when I got back from Spain. But my Paws are faward facing now and I am determined to have a better go at this.
