I am determined to do it this time

I have been trying very hard to lose weight recently. I had a large weight loss once before, but gained it all back and then some. I was never a skinny girl, at my thinnest I weighed 175, and right now my goal is to get back there. I was horrified when I stepped on the scale and 252 was looking back up at me. I have decided to report here as a way of tracking my weight loss, I know if I have somewhere to report, and have people supporting me, I will be more likely to keep going. So far I am down to 221, I dont feel a difference at all, and its starting to discourage me, but I know I HAVE to keep going. I promise I will come out of hiding once I am at my goal, and I know I will reach my goal.

So here goes- today I went for an hour and a half long walk Chat Icon Tomorrow dh and I are heading to the store to buy an elliptical, I am starting to feel like walking isnt doing enough for me, and running just really is not my thing.

You CAN do it!!!
I too am overweight. Had a baby last year and was a plus size even before I was PG.
I started walking everyday and cut my portions in half. A week later, Im down 5lbs!
Haven't had a sip of any soda (HUGE Diet Coke/Pepsi fan here) in over 2 weeks.
I have a stationary bike that I think I may add to my excercising as well. It's kind of just sitting there. LOL

Best of Luck!
We can support each other!Chat Icon

An elliptical will be great!! Years ago, my DH lost over 75 lbs just by watching what he ate and doing the elliptical for 45mins-1hr/day!! I would love to get one, but we have no space for it- but he swears by it.


Good luck!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
