Are you looking to lose about 50lbs?

[Whatawoman72]

I started out needing to lose 60lb -  I am now at least 10lbs off so am looking for weight loss buddies with around 50lbs to lose.

The journey is so much easier with someone taking it with you :)

Hi Sweetpeaches,

It is a lifetime of changing thoughts and actions once you have a weight problem you can never go back to old eating habbits and confortable patterns without seeing a quick and steep weight gain.

This last week has been rough for me and I found myslef binge eating onc akes, chocolate, ice cream, fried foods and soda.... I am ashamed and dissapointed with myself and saw a 2.8lb weight gain this weigh in.....today is a new day and I am back on track.

I am a single parent and so do this journey alone other than virtual support from friends here and on facebook. It is hard.

I set myself a goal on 2nd April to lose 50lb in 200 days  -  I started off wel but this week has dealt me a reality blow.....

Together we can help eachother and win this battle :) x

I have 60 lbs. that I want to lose. This has been such a journey for me. In 2008, I lost 80lbs, then gained back ten, I stayed there until last Oct. 20011. We went on a vacation for a month in Florida, before my upcoming surgery, knee replacement, I think at that time I was nervous eating. While in Florida I contracted Mesa on my soon to be new knee, go figure. I actually thought I got bit by a spider, that was on Thursday, we left for home on Saturday and i was at the Dr.'s on Monday. He never let me know how dangerous mersa was, it was my surgeon that said NO SURGERYuntil it's healed, this is very dangerous and contagious, ugh. That went on for six weeks, finally it was gone, surgery back on. At this point I had gained 6 lbs. Surgery was January 11th :-) , but since then I gained another14 lbs.. What makes me mad, I was so close to goal, but i got so comfortable with where I was at and second of all, during these past four months of recooperating, I knew not to eat the junk, that i would put on weight, my answer to myself then was, I can lose it, what an idiot. So here I go again, started my eating right habbits yesterday, I know I can do this, I've been trying to stick with it for a month now, morning I would start out great but by the evening, I say I'll start again tomorrow, well finally yesterday was my tomorrow, I made it through the day eating right and drinking my water:-) Now I just have to stay strong, my husband will not diet with me, he thinks he can do it by skipping meals, eating big breakfasts, 3 eggs, 3 pieces of toast, 4 bacon, snacks, cookies, ice cream bars, you get the idea. He weighes 268, he said to me yesterday, gosh if I could only lose 50 lbs. But as much as I would like him to join me on this journey, I have to do this on my own:-( So here I am with hopefully new friends to take this journey with :-)

[dshugrue]

I need to lose 40 pounds! I'm 21, married and have a 7 month old so losing weight will be a challenge. I would love some online companions :)

[chunkymonky]

I've been on my diet for 6mths now, I've lost 30 lbs but my goal is to lose 100! I got a little discouraged bcuz of my group I'm the only one with so much to lose.

[Whatawoman72]

Its so hard to stay motivated and be strong -  worth it in the end but along the way its good to have help and support from people travelling the same path :)

[ShyGirl2012]

Im new and am also looking to lose 50 pounds as well and could use a bunch of motivation :) i really hopw i can do this i started already to cut out sugars and junk food :)

[Whatawoman72]

[TrudieC]

I have 70 to lose.  I am in.  I also just started a challenge with a couple of girlfriends.  The first to lose 30 lbs gets $100 from each of the losers.  I plan on winning.

[Random_chick]

Here is a link to the group :)

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Weight-Loss-Journeys/Weekly-Weigh-in/show/1733893

[Whatawoman72]

I used to be a daily weigher -  I needed it to keep myself accountable - this time round I am doing a weekly weigh in.

Big weight loss in the first 5 days is to be expected because it is your body clensing from stored fluid. Then on you should be looking for 1-2lb a week to be a healthy and stable weight loss -  however I am soooo impatient and see anything less than 3lb a week as a failure and I beat myself up emotionally which leads to craving the wrong foods... I think we are our own worst enemies on this journey.

There is a weekly weigh in post on this forum but I will open one in the Weight Loss journey group -  so those of us buddying up to lose 50lbish can stick together - good luck :)

I weigh in on Mondays - is that an okay day for everyone else?

[meganbh]

Doing ok here! Even after just a week, I've feel like I've hit a plateau. The first few days of my diet the weight just seemed to fall off (I've lost 8 pounds since last Saturday) yet I've been at the same weight or a little over for the past three days. Hopefully this weekend will be good. How are you all doing? Would you like to do something like a weekly weight check. I'd feel accountable for my weight loss that way. If you're interested, let's do it! Have a great weekend and I wish you well!

[daughteroftheking01]

[Whatawoman72]
