Re: I have been kind of lurking...

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group Jane! Believe me we all know that feeling

of " Oh my gosh, how did I get that heavy " . I was shocked when I

realized that I had gotten up to 225, and now I am down almost 30

pounds and feeling great! I also have a long way to go, my goal is

140-150, but I feel like I have come this far and I will be able to

make it to there. I too have bought clothes because they were on

sale, and then decided that I didn't really like them or the way they

looked so I would take them back.

Keep up the great work!!!!

Hi Jane!

Welcome to a great board. I know what you mean about water!! At weigh in yesterday I gained this week (2#), I hadn't drank enough of my water this last week. I really poured on the water yesterday (about 85 oz of it) I was curious so I decided to weigh in today and I was down 2 1/2 #!! That has taught me I have to drink, drink, & drink some more!

Jane,

Welcome to the group and I hope that you start posting regularly! I love to get up in the mornings and read the messages when I am eating my toast for breakfast (best I can stomach in the mornings....never ate breakfast before WW.) and taking my vitamins.

Sounds like you are right on track this time and congratulations on your weight loss! That's awesome!

Hi Jane!

Thanks for sharing your story. I have not been as strict in staying OP and your

story reminded me that I am the one responsible for my success. I think I just

found a little motivation! I think I'll go for a walk!

Subject: I have been kind of lurking...

I think I introduced myself and that is it! I

want to participate more though...so here goes!

I started out..well..okay not started out..I

STOPPED at 231..I could not believe it when I got

on the Dr's scale and saw that weight..I always

asked myself when would be enough...when when

when. The dr. did find out I had an insulin

resistance disease and that, she said was a

deciding factor in my weight gain..and yes I had

been walking, and kind of dieting...but I did

things I knew that were not condusive to weight

loss..like Mc's, like drinking, like big

breakfasts and not drinking any water that did

not have coffee of coke in it LOL...

SO I stopped it. My Dr. gave me a book called

sugarbusters and I did follow a lot of principles

in the book..and joined the gym..I managed to get

down to 200-199 and I stopped losing...but I went

back to the same old story..knowing that not

drinking water and watching what I ate all of the

time would not help me lose weight. I did not

gain..but that is really because I kept up with

my exercise.

I joined weightwatchers on the 13th and weigh in

tomorrow..I am sure I have lost about 5 lbs. in 2

week..and I am drinking water..a lot of water AND

I feel great...

4 more lbs. and I will have lost 40 lbs. since

that day last OCT.. I know I still have a long

way to go..I want to reach a goal wt. of 135-138

so that is just short of 100 lbs.

ANYWAY..I went to the store today and I picked up

6 tops...because frankly, in the past 1 out of 6

might be decent... I tried on all 6 shirts and

loved everyone of them! I bought all 6..they were

on sale.

I felt so good about myself I went to walmart and

picked up 2 new pair of work out pants!
