I was just writing a response to a blog, and I was writing --- "When I get back from a trip later this month, I'm going to go back to Weight Watchers....." and I looked at the calendar and realized they have an evening meeting Thursday evenings!! Why not tonight??? I could make the meeting tonight (to get my starting weight ugh) and I could make it next week; the following two weeks I could go where we will be staying!! Hmmmmmmmmm I think this is a plan!!!! I would also mean that I wouldn't eat anything else today since I like to, um, fast the day of my weigh in.
Lemme talk about that fast day. I was a member of weight watchers for about three years, meeting on Tuesday evenings. I recorded what I ate and within 8 months of joining I had reached my goal weight and did keep it off for about another two years. Each week, I made my meetings without fail, even going to meetings in other states when I was traveling. And each week, I fasted the day of the meeting to eke out the most possible weight loss. But there was another benefit. I found it refreshing to have a day where I didn't eat until after the meeting (I almost always ate the same thing -- rice/beans/sour cream from a favorite restaurant). I wasn't starving my body since I ate healthy food after the meeting; I was just not eating for about 24 hours (one evening meal to another one). And it really felt good!
So, that's the plan! I'll go to the meeting tonight and get my dreaded first weigh in and attend the meeting to get an emotional boost!! I know the plan, and I know I can follow it!! Wish me luck!!

Sprout is starting to notice that her brother isn't here. So, please, keep her in your prayers, since I can't explain to her what has happened.......I am just trying to comfort her as much as possible.
I allowed myself of an (un)forgiving lunch yesterday. I ate way out of my calories in just the sandwich, and then I added Chili (gooey) Cheese Fries with Sour Cream to it......It felt like 13 thousand calories, but was about 1500 total. I had a salad last night with fat free dressing. But today I am back on track. With the stress of losing Casper, I allowed myself 1 (that's it though) day to not think about calories, and I went for the gusto......
I have a Native ceremony on Saturday, and then we will celebrate his short life Saturday night. (Mind you he was only 16 months old) Vet says that was the most brutal aggressive asthma attack that he has ever seen in his 20 years of medicine........
Peace and Prayers! ~Cressida

New here. Checking out the site. I've already lost 40, pretty happy, but have gotten too comfortable! Though I've maintained for a few years the initial loss, there is always room for improvement! Looking to drop these last few pounds and firm up. In the process of training for a half marathon, "wogging" not running. I'm already pretty active and eating mostly clean but again, always room for improvement! Nice to 'meet' you all.
Any suggestions?

Yesterday I was very good with my diet and I drank 12 cups of water then after work I went over to "the gym" AKA my moms house and did 60 min on the stationary bike. I did to reps of 30 min each on the "personal trainer setting" Which pretty much has you going up hill for 20 min. It kicked my butt! I was feeling really good when I got home but I knew my legs were going to feel it to day and I was right. hahaha
I also got to talk to my moms friend Bethy and she is also trying to lose weight. She has lost 14lb on some crazy diet. I told her about this site so hopefully she will quit the eat only once a day and starve diet ...which I am calling "the dark side"  (I was raised by geeks! hahaha) and come over to the light. This is WAY less dangerous and will get a result that will last. Fingers crossed she comes on here and does this right.
ok have to grab a shower before work! TTYAL

So after a few years of lying to myself saying that I'm not overweight, it's just my pants that have shrunk, I've finally decided to make some changes. As of today I weigh 280lbs. Even looking at that number astounds me. Especially because I was always a rather lean and fit person.
Well today is the day that I get my life and waistline back.
In my 32 years, I've never broken a promise to myself. Well today I promise myself and the world that in 90 days, roughly November 5, 2010 I'm going to be at least half way to my weight loss goal of an 80lb weight loss. To anyone reading this post, I welcome any suggestions you may have to help obtain this weight loss.
Wish me luck,
Shawn

Well, I'm back after neglecting the site and goals for about a month... It definitely was an eye-opener for me. I gained 10 pounds unfortunately, and I have realized that I will continue to have a problem with my weight if I can't stop my addictive behavior and replace it with healthier habits. I know now that I need to learn how to acknowledge and let go of my mistakes instead of give up. I also know how bad that cycle is. Once you get started on the destructive path it can be hard to stop! Anyway, I'm back and recommitting, and this time I have support. Both of my parents are now on bored which will hopefully stop all of the junk food coming into the house! Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go for a walk :)

Good Morning!! Today is a beautiful day! Jumped up this morning at 5am and got my walk in!! Feels like it has been forever!! Love these sketcher shoes! It looks like we are in a stretch of great weather, so I will be hitting the roads every morning. I sure am hoping my September is alot better than my August was for walking and weightloss. I was just way to busy and overwhelmed with the J O B.
The scale is not my friend this morning...176.4...grrr... I have only myself to blame for that. Not walking, drinking enough water and maybe, just maybe splurging alittle on the "forbidden" foods!! I know I have not gone overboard, but again, there is definite room for imporvement and better choices. But I still have until Monday to see the 175. I need to put myself back in the mindset of saying to myself that I have tasted it before and I don't need it right now...(I love Krystal burgers), or like at the office on friday "that is the best potatoe salad I have ever had!!" Back to the 5-6 small meals, fruit, veggies, yogurt, lots of water and what I know works for me...Just gotta say NO to temptation and put the goal back in front of me.
Finally got the schedule for Zumba in my area...no Saturday classes but there are 2 evening classes and 2 daytime classes during the week. Not sure if I can make the day classes, but will try to get to the evening classes on Monday and Wednesday, just never know from day to day where I will be with the J O B.
Well, gotta get ready for the day!
Walking on...Lisa

Hello My fellow weight loss hopefuls,
It is 1.07am thursday sept. 2nd and it's the beginning of my fourth day on my weight loss program and my first day as a member of this website! yay. hopefully i still have this same excitement by the end of te week..lol..anyhoo, I just wanted to do a brief random runthrew of the past 3 days of my journey. Hope u enjoy my ramblings and hopefully if anyone has any advice please leave it.
Day 1.
8/30/10
day one started out good. I woke up excited to start my weight loos program and my excitement lasted untill my boyfirend came over to my place and ordered chinese food:( My boyfreind knows im on a diet and he's not in favor of it so he did everything in his power for me to be slip up...and I'm such a weak link that i did slip but i didnt fall. i slipd up and ate some chicken wings and a egg roll. i also had four spoons of shrimp fried rice:( My entire day of fruits and vegies was ruied by my boyfriends selfissh behavior and my weakness. Anyhoo after eating all that junk I went to the bathroom pucked a bit and looked myself in the mirrow and vowed never to eat tht junk again. thinking about all that greasy food i had eaten made me feel sick to my stomache. anyhoo i dusted myself off, wiped my face of vomit and went back to my bf...vowing never to touch another junk food again.
Day 2 / Day 3
Days 2 and 3 were exactly the same. HUGE SUCCESS! I think these two days have been good b/c i havent seen my boyfriend...i probably need to stay away from him for the next 2 months...lol..mayb I shouldnt cause tht will probably just piss him off even more.
I've been surviving on fruits, vegies, baked salmon, tilipia, multivitamins and organic silk milk. I plan on incorporating some organic briwn rice into my diet tomorrow with my left over baked tilipia.
And I was actually attempting to make baked tilipia with freash tomatoes, baby spinish, cucumbers,green and red peppers and onions but I ended up with a baked soup. I dont understand where all the water came from to make a soup but it happened....according to my landlord, i shouldnt have covered it when it was baking. She said "u only cover food ur baking if u want it moist" thus, since i wanted my fich and other ingredients dry i shouldnt have covert it. I dont know how true her advice is but i wont knw if she's right untill i try it. fortunately for me I luckly ended up with great tasting baked tilipia soup...lol...atleast i knw how to make soup in the oven.
well...i have lots more to write but i need to sleep, i have to wake up early this morning ...i have a 9:30 am chemistry lecture thts 30 mins away from "me casa'(this this my lame attempt at spanish). i also have my chemistry lab from 2pm-5pm and then i have my anatomy n physiology lec and lab from 6pm-9:30pm:( Today shall be a long day! and my parents are stopping by my place tonight to check on me. and see my living condition...etc etc...anyhoo..i'll be back l8tr on today. hopefully b4 i leave 4 school but i doubt it. it;s already 2:12am..i already know howmy morning is gunno go and i'll use three words to describe it...*&^! I'M LATE!
L8TR WLOC STAY POSITIVE MY FELLOW BIGGEST LOOSERS AND I'LL CHECK BACK IN ASAP!:)

It seems as though my weight is not under my control. Having CFS and depression just makes me want to eat all the time and eat the wrong foods too. I don't know if I'm really willing to suffer in order to lose weight. I've suffered enough already. However I don't want to be fat. I wish I could turn the clock back five years when I was at a good weight. Part of me has the urge to start vomiting to control my weight but I don't want to do that either. Whenever I go to eat junk food I feel good about it until I've finished eating it and then I just feel regret. Healthy food leaves me feeling unsatisfied. I don't really see an answer. I know I eat out of my unhappiness and since this illness is not going to go away how can I lose weight?
