So its been awhile since I checked in, but it looks like nobody has really been checking in so..for myself I have been doing ok. I haven't lost a lot of wt but my eating habits have gotten better. I have been exploring the world of salads and its really not so bad. My stomach has gotten a little smaller. So I have a Fitness test upcoming in June and I officially started to train for it. Ran for like 30minutes today since the sun was out! I did my insanity workout yesterday. If you have never tried Insanity, its like P90X. Anyways I use it now and then if its too cold to run.  So how's everybody else? T

Hi am anxious to find a buddy also. Will be here for you. How do you get on this friends area in here?  Anyone know?

I am 45 and the Mother of three children two in college and an 8yr old at home. I work full time and I am finishing my bachelor's degree. I need to loose around 30lbs to be at a healthy weight and feel better about my self. Not to mention have the energy to keep up with my 8yr old. My finance' is very thin and loves all food that is horrible for me, McDonald's, Take out Chinese, Pizza, cake..... So I can't talk to him about weight loss because he is very thin and eats whatever he wants. Looking forward to having people to share and learn over this weight loss journey. I have set a goal for my 35 lbs of September 1.

Guess what I finally lost a little weight! only 3lbs but I have been 143 for a very very long time. Now officially 140. Mabe its just water wt but it gives me hope. 6weeks=3lbs. By May I should be down to 134. That would be extra nice.I hope everyone here is finding their own diet happiness:} T

[Tanyaluv]

Here I am at work on nightshift again. Last night was not a good diet night. People keep bringing in sugary treats and next thing I know, I am on diet failure! I had two choc brownies last night. So I was happy to see that there were no more goodies when I came in today. UNTIL just now when a nother nurse brought in cookies for pete's sake, its 1025 at night--we don't need chocolate chip cookies!

Thanks for the Valentine wishes, but alas I'm married (very happily to boot)!!   ;-)

That device that measures the physical pull from the earth on my being (also known as a scale) showed that I'm now under 260!!!  Whoo Hoooo!  

All I have been doing is using an app on my phone that helps me track my calorie intake, and how many calories I burn (if I exercise - which isn't that much). Been keeping my total calorie count under 1780 and it has been working.  I have noticed that the fruits / vegetables intake has gone up just because they are lower in calories.  Eating the Whopper Jr vs the Huge Calorie intake of the larger size burger.

Hope others are finding a way that is working for them and are reaching the weight goals that have been set.

Happy Valentine's day--Still trying to eat healthy and exercise. Yesterday I ran around the block and went to the Gym but today its so cold that I barely want to walk into the Gym from my car. I will though. I think I need to ramp up my Gym time a little and really try to sweat. Otherwise-staying to egg/sveggies/fish/ whole grains & limiting the sugar as much as a person can. I ordered a book called the Belly Fat cure by Jorge cruise. Mail takes forever to get here. But once it does I want to try his take on the diet thing. As far I can tell-he's pretty much Anti-sugar. Which is what I am. So we'll see mabe he'll finally help me start to lose weight.

Hi, I'm 22 too. No babies here but really need to lose some weight too. Could do with some motivation. I'm considering weight loss surgery at CODS India. Before that trying to lose some naturally.

[Tanyaluv]

Hey barb-I have some of the same problems you listed! My hubby refuses to care about healthy food. In fact he often laughs at me like when everyone went to mcd's-- I made him stop at the fruit market so I could run in and get an apple. But hey we gottabe strong Barb. The road to wt loss is not paved with Big Macs.
I definitely find that if I am too strict with my diet and wont eat any carbs-then I will have some sort of binge fest especially if I am at work. I have tried to just switch to dark chocolate. German dark chocolate is pretty good especially if you dip in peanut butter. Well happy dieting guys.

[Barb135]

I forgot to mention that if I completely cut out my favorite foods, I eventually end up feeling deprived and binge on them, which completely derails any progress I  might have made.  I find that a small piece of chocolate, or a spoon of mashed potatoes, a couple of chips, etc, now and then satisfies the need to have certain things, without causing me to go overboard.

[Barb135]

Looks like I'm kind of late to this party, I'll join anyway, if no one minds.  

I see I'm a lot older than all of you, but that doesn't really matter; we all have the same issues.

I never had a weight problem until my thyroid quit working a few years ago, and I gained about 30 lbs in < 2 months.  I've struggled every since to get it off, no matter how good my thyroid levels are. Over the past 5 years, I've put on an additional 15 lbs, which seems to totally stuck.......

For anyone who is really struggling, I'll always recommend ruling out a medical reason for weight gain/inability to lose, because I tried, very hard, to lose prior to being diagnosed hypo and it was a losing battle until I got proper treatment.

I don't follow a specific diet, or calorie count, but I do stick with lean protein, "good" (complex) carbs, "good" fats, brown rice, whole grains, etc; I use stevia for a sweetner ...... I drink as much water as I can tolerate every day.  I don't eat sugar and limit bread as much as possible.

My husband is a major "diet stopper", because he's very thin and loves places like McDonald's and other fast food restaurants, where the food is laden with grease and salt.

I do have a huge problem with fluid retention, which can cause  my weight to fluctuate 3-6 pounds/day or over the course of a day.  Grrrrr

Hi, my name is Grace. I can give you my Kik username if you want.

[Tanyaluv]

Hi guys! This diet thing is working out ok for me. So far today I had eggs this morn and  then fish and veggies. Then later  2 tangarines . But the real challenge is yet to come. I have a night shift and we don't have many patients ..boredom +snackfund 10feet away==total diet failure. I have only been here 1hour and half but I am trying to gulp down this green tea to make me full.

[Zaysmom0124]

[Tanyaluv]

Greetings from Germany.  Diet is going well. Went to the Gym today and did the elyptical thing. I keep wanting to run outside--then it starts to snow! Never fails. I just am not dedicated enough to jog through snow flurries-I'd probably fall on my butt anyway. The locals have no problem with it. I have been eating avacado, seems to keep me full and its supposed to really healthy. Although I haven't lost any weight, I am starting to look a little slimmer I think and I don't miss coffee anymore. Good luck with your diets all and  keep us posted.

[Cs259cr]

Hi all, diet continuing to go well, have been cutting back even more this week because I'm going on a day out on sat so going to relax the diet for that day. Hope you are all doing well C

[kpcrisps]

Hi everyone!
Reading everyone's comments is really giving me the motivation to keep going with this. This time I want to stick to it! Have just got the app for phone today, really great that we can all motivate eachother!

Thanks

[Tanyaluv]

Sianyxx-congrats on losing 4lbs. Welcome Flip! Had an awesome dieting day today. I have cut out coffee and soda now I have been trying to cut sugar and carbs more and more. 3 weeks and sadly the scale hasn't even moved : (. But I always knew I had stubborn fat. Just have to keep going at it.

Hi. I am Filip, 28. Four months ago broke my leg, and... gain weight. 124kg now (273lbs), and my goal is to lose 50 pounds in the next 3 months. No strictly diet program, just reducing calories, carbs too, more proteins than usual. Jumping rope, punching bag, and little bit of lifting weights right now... Just found this medhelp.org and its a nice place to find a lot of useful tips, count those calories, and get motivation... So Lets Go...:))
