so i'm really trying to lose weight, last night I didnt' do so great at the gym, but it was the first day in a LONG time that that has happened, so I just have to make sure to not let it happen again. I haven't lost not ONE pound this week!!!! No gain either though. I pretty much know why that's the case, but it's not something everyone on here would like to hear about,....kinda personal. HAHA. ANYWAYS, I'm trying to fix that problem, but it may be next week before I see more results. BUT, the good news...

Alright, guys, I have a question. Has anyone tried the 7-day cleanse thing??? I've had a few friends tell me that it gives a boost to weight loss, but I'm not sure I want to do it. Right now, you all are my most consistently reliable source, so I figured I'd ask you guys. Anything you can tell me about it, would be great! Or if you all have tried other things that gave you a big boost, what were they?? I'm asking mainly because I have been busting butt the past few days to lose weight, I lost quite a bit...

Alright, I had to post this because I am SO excited!!! So, I started this weight loss thing for the billionth time on February 9th. (I didn't join this site though until March 2nd) On Feb 9th, I wrote down how much I weighed and my measurements: February 9th: Weight: 259lbs Measurements:         bust: 45 inches         waist: 40 inches         belly(cause this was a big prob area haha): 48 inches         hips: 53 inches         thighs: 31 inches Those measurements are high, I know, but I'm working on it! haha. Well today here are my measurements: March 11th: Weight: 247lbs Measurements:          bust: 43 inches          waist: 39 inches          belly: 47 inches         ...

Well I was a little discouraged this morning, but the day turned out great!! Ate a little over my calories, but I did alright. And got some great tips from my buddies today, and some encouragement. thanks so much guys! I don't know what I would do without you!!!  Didn't make it to the gym today, but did some great new exercises today and broke a serious sweat! Felt great!! Also, in case any of you were curious, the visitation for the little girl that passed away in my family is tomorrow. We found out that she had a mass on...

There is SO much going on in my life right now. I wish I could say they are all good things, but mostly bad things. 2 relatives in the hospital, my sister broke her ankle, BOTH of our cars wont start this morning, no clue why, and to top it off, my cousin called yesterday, her 26day old little girl, Emma, passed away Monday morning. She was perfectly healthy, full-term, natural birth, we have no idea what caused it. We are still waiting on autopsy results. My cousin said at 4am, Emma woke up and she gave her a...

Well today was a pretty good day. Drank all the water I needed, stayed within my calories (for the most part, give or take a few), and did a good amount of exercise! I hope everyone is doing well! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!!

Well today has been a great day!!! Did good with eating AND exercise. I went to the gym and did 10 miles in 60 min. on the bike. Felt great!!! Just had supper with the family and did really good too! I had a larger lunch than I usually do, but stayed within my daily calories, it really helped reduce my appetite come supper. Seeing a little bit of weight loss since the beginning of the week, but I just joined a new group, which requires us to weigh in every friday, so I'll wait till Friday to officially weigh...

so last night, I messed up badly! I went out with my sister and i ran into this person who i can't stand! She likes to make me feel bad about myself,....I have NO CLUE why!!! She just does. Well I got so angry and temporarily quit caring. I had a slice of pizza after I had already filled up my calories for the day. Afterwards I felt so terrible! I was angry with myself for giving in and letting someone intimidate me to the point where I didn't care. I've been doing pretty well so far, so I...

Well so far I'm doing alright, but I could be doing a lot better! I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 3 pounds, but I think I'll wait a few more days before I weigh in officially. I think I'm having a problem that a lot of us are having, I eat way too much late at night. I've been doing great for breakfast and lunch, thanks to a few hints from WLBs. Thanks so much everyone for the helpful messages!!! Lately I've been having yoplait low fat yogurt and a piece of raisin toast for breakfast. Then for...

Well today was day 1. I thought i had a great morning and lunch! Breakfast:        1/2 cup of blueberry yogurt        8 oz. apple juice Snack:        1 special K blueberry granola bar        16oz. water Lunch:        PB&J sandwich        carrot sticks        16oz. water I also drank an extra 32oz. of water throughout the day. But I really messed up when it came to supper. I was so hungry by then!! I made some homemade rigatoni romano which came to 570 calories on it's own!!!! Throughout the day I had a total of 1,629 calories!!!! ugh. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to curb my appetite in...

Well I'm having a hard time losing weight,...clearly, otherwise I probably wouldn't be here. But I feel like if I had other people to talk to about it, I may do better. I'm trying to work out as much as possible, and am attempting to watch what I eat. Sadly, I'm not doing a good job. I read a few things online tonight that may help me out. I've got to lose the weight!! My boyfriend is taking me on a cruise to jamaica this summer and I want to have fun without worrying about my weight. Besides that, I've...
