I really want to loose 20 pounds -- and 30 would put me at my goal weight. I have recently gained back 20 pounds after loosing 55 pounds -- which isn't that bad. But, I don't like these extra twenty pounds on my body -- they make me feel uncomfortable and less able to be physical. I am trying to eleminate the added sugars from my diet, fried foods, and other yucky items. I am also working out (doing cardio) at least five days a week, weight lifting three of those days. I'm a teacher, running after pre-k kids all week, and also eating the same breakfast, lunch and snack as them. This makes dieting a little harder. If any other teachers and childcare workers are here, I'd love to talk to you about you handle kid-food in your diet. I look forward to talking with all of you here and sharing our tragedies and triumphs!

Thanks all!

Thanks for all your encouragement!

Oh -- and, yes, I have to eat all the same food that the children do...unless I have breakfast very early in the morning and lunch on my break, which is in the late afternoon.

I am working on my weight loss goals with the Self (magazine) challenge. I am finding it slightly hard to do as much cardio as I should be though! I haven't lost any weight yet, but I am feeling much healthier and better about my weight loss goals.
 
If you have to eat the same food then perhaps you can limit the amount and add a big salad as an extra. Try to eat fruits as a snack.
You can do it! You managed to lose 55 pounds before so you've proven yourself that 20-30 is manageable and if you are determined and adopt healthy habits along the way you will manage and will keep it off this time.
Good luck and we're here for you :)
 
good luck with reach that 40 pound weight loss I'm trying to lose 25 so we are almost in the same boat
 
Hi Everyone,

I would just like to say view this website if you would like to be on a diet that really works!!! We have this same website in Australia called Cohen's Lifestyle Clinic and believe me it works :)
 
Welcome and good luck. I'm sorry, but I don't know how much a pund(pb) is. I'm from germany and here we count everything in kg!
