Going Down Together Club

I have approx 35lbs to lose...I am 27 yrs old and will be 28 on Halloween (Oct 31st).

I'd love to join your club and find a buddy!

SarahL and Summerbreeze.. how about being buddies? :)

Summer.. yopu do very well. I would mix your diet up a bit though, you have to get your metabolism out of sleep mode.. and eathing different foods keeps it on its toes. Also.. I was told (dunno if its true) that doing short spurts (5-10 minutes even) of really intense exercise jump starts the heart and the metabolism.

Sometimes we have to do the shock factor to our bodies. How much water do you drink?

SarahL.. very happy you have come :)
 
being buddies sounds great!! :) :)

i drink 72 oz of water a day (three of my big water bottles)

i think you're right about mixing up my foods, but i dont know what other options i could get that are still low cal and filling. i'm def going to go out and buy egg beaters to make in the morning, but besides that, what do you guys eat for bfast or lunch? dinner is usually up to my dad who makes the food (well at least for while i'm home for the summer) but he's usually good about making healthy things. we usually eat fish and salad and veggies.
 
well...

My breakfast choices:
1. Cream of Wheat (1 serving = 100 cal) with either unsweetened apple sause (50 cal) or some diet shake powder (65 cal) with nutrients in it.
2. A cup of low fat yogurt.. and an egg
3. Tony's Turbo cereal... really very healthy.
4. egg.. peice of bread, vegi burger (kind I have is 100 cal a pattie)
5. omlette!! pile on the vegies! add some cheese.. or meat!

Lunch:
1. most common.. soup. 1 can of soup. generally 150 - 200 cal for entire can (you can get instand redy to go soups that are easy to have at work)
2. salad... tomatos.. mushrooms.. celery.. cheese.. sometimes bits of chicken.. easy to premake.
3. tuna salad sandwich. low cal mirical whip.. and low cal bread.. orr... even better put it in a pita.
4. cream of wheat :D

Dinner I usually eat alot of meat and some vegies.. and 1 serving of rice or some sort of starch.

There are really tons of things you can eat to mix it up...
 
I would LOVE being buddies!!! I need motivation...I used to be thinner...and I know the weight I am currently at isn't huge for most standards...if I were 'normal' height..but, I am incredibly shrimpy! (petite is a better word) at 5'1" -- so, my bmi considers me overweight and close to obese.

I am starting pilates (got a dvd from the library) and I am really watching what goes into my mouth (especially at night when I tend to binge eat)

I like to drink a lot of water too...at least 64oz of water...

Okay, gotta go..kids want to go outside.

Ok.. I so have to do this...

Who all wants to peirce their belly button when they hit their goal weight?

If we have.. say... 3 or more in favor... I will put it in the main thread and we can collect others along the road :)
 
ohhh me me me!! i'll definately do it. i'll have to hide it from my dad, but if i get it done right when i get back to school, he won't have to see it for a whole 9 months (he won't see it when i'm home for xmas, it's all sweaters and sweatshirts then ;) ) oh i am SO excited.

alright so right here right now, i will get my belly button pierced if i am able to get down to 120 pounds by Aug 25th!

who else is in?!
 
My parents will freak.. but it jsut makes me too excited not to!!!

Ok.. If I get down to 150 lbs by August 31st (should be possible!!!) I will get my belly button peirced!

So thats 2 of us.. :) I hope we get more!
 
glad you joined, summer :)

you can totally do it! and we will cheer you all the way there!

belly button piercing it is! that will be a great reward and it will look ultra-foxy!
 
wow this belly button piercing idea just got me SO excited..like you don't even understand. i feel like my motivation just got doubled lol. weird i know, but i dont know...i've always wanted one and now that i'm not home all the time, i can get one (my dad's not a fan).

i'm so excited about this group!

so today i ate a total of 1119 calories, but i didn't go to the gym bc my muscles were so sore from yesterday's workout (used the rowing machine for the first time).
tomorrow i'm going grocery shopping and buying some egg beaters, peanut butter, bananas, and fat free yogurt :) :) i'll be going to the gym tomorrow morning and doing my cardio, strengthening, and pilates!

yaaay for this group! i'm so excited :p
 
omg.. the rowing mashine!!! That is soooo hard! holy jeeze.. lol. first time I did that I felt dead!!

why dont you wait for your goal weight? 18 lbs you could loose in 2 months... and get it around the end of August like breeze and I :)
 
Hey ya'll, if anyone is lookin for a buddy I still need one :) .

I'd also like to get down to around 150-155 around the end of August, I wanna get my belly button pierced too:D .
 
well...if you remember, i said i was gonna get it done when i hit my 10 lb weight loss. I want it before my birthday and before vegas, so it's healed up a bit by then.
 
ah yes.. and I was trying to remeber the reason for the 10 lb instead of the entire thing. It will still be awesome! :)
 
Ohhh...ME. :). I would love to be in on it. It would be a lovely motivation for me...so count me in.

Haha...I feel like we are all making a super secret pact with each other.

Kinda funny!
