New Year, New Thread for Those who Weigh 200 lbs/90 Kg or More

Sorry that I've been gone awhile guys!! Lolli, great job!! How's everyone else?

Came to share another 2lb weight loss with you guys, down to 285lbs now! :)
 
Wow 30lbs!!!! go tam!!! Well done, what an achievemnet!!:hurray::hurray:

Everyone seems to have gone missing for a bit...oh well we are back now :D

Not been on my best behavious lately and have had a 3lb gain:ack2: Not the best but never mind it is totally my own fault.. a combination of the first week of the summer hols and my birthday...hopefully it will all fall back into place and i will start seeing some losses again!

Think i got a bit complacent as i am now into a uk size 16 - which means i can buy clothes in pretty much any shop (something i couldnt do before). But now i wanna get smaller!!!! Size 14 here i come!

Hope everyone is doing well!:waving:
 
Hey Everyone!

Well, I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well!:hurray:

As for me, I went on vacation last month and gained back some of the weight I loss, and I still haven't been able to get it off. :toetap05:

So today, me and Sean, joined LA Fitness together. So, here I come people, ready to drive my behind to a gym and start working out. I dont have money for a P.T. this time, so I'm going to have to look up stuff on the internet on what to do at a gym. Otherwise, I'd just spend all my time on the Elliptical Crosstrainer or Tredmill.

It's pretty cool. The guy gave us a :patriot: 4th of July Family Plan Special and it was only 50$ each to sign up (normally it would have been like 100+$ to sign up) and 25$ each month (which is like 14$ less than normal). Got access to any LA Fitness in all of AZ. Which works out good cuz the one we signed up at is near his place in Northern Phoenix and I'm 40 miles down from him.

Yeah, I'm totally excited about the gym membership. I just gotta pack a bag full of my stuff and stick it in the car, so that my workout clothes are always with me.:willy_nilly:

Hopefully with this gym membership, the weight will start comming off again and a bit more successfully. I'm totally ready to update my wardrobe with smaller sizes. :willy_nilly:

Anyway, hope all of you are doing great!

Veronica
 
Thanks Tink!! Great attitude, you'll make it to that size 14 soon with your positive attitude!!

Veron: Congrats on the gym membership, hopefully it helps! :)
 
Hey everyone! I've been absent for like 3 months now but I'm sooooo glad to be back. I absolutely need to start working out again. My office job is catching up with me and all the snack foods people bring. My boyfriend and I moved into our new house about 3 weeks ago after a very long process. I didn't have internet for about 2 months so that was the majority of why I was gone.

Our new house is less than 1 mile from Ballys. I've been trying to decide between LA Fitness and Ballys for a bit now. Being so close and being almost $10 cheaper a month sealed the deal and i'm going to Bally's tonight when my boyfriend gets off work to sign up.

It is SO HARD living with someone who does not eat healthy. Also, having to get up for work at 4 am and getting off at 5 pm doesn't make you feel all the excited to work out. But tomorrow marks the start of it all.

My friend called today to tell me the exact date of her wedding and I'm a bridesmaid. I have until April 2009 to loose at least 80 lbs. Think its do-able?
 
April Wedding!

You have 38 weeks until the first week of April, assuming you start this week.
That's about a 2 pound loss per week, maybe a bit more if you want to be slimmer for those first fittings.
So, yeah, I think so! Good luck!!

Maybe setting mini goals along the way would help, too, eh?
 
Well it seems like everyone is away, but I hope everyone is doing thesame as i'am :) Working hard still. I gained some weight to be honest, but my upper body is getting smaller :) Which im happy about, but sad about the scale haha. Oh well I'm gonna shake it off
 
HI!!! I'm new to this site.. and unfortunately fit into this thread category :ack2: .. lol.. but not for long hopefully!!! I lost 5 lbs this week! SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!! And for you peeps who have lost 40 plus... thanks for bein a GREAT motivation!!!
 
Hey everyone! I also new to this site. Im motivated, but I need that extra support that I don't get from home. Im 235 and Ive lost 5lbs so far. I lost 9 lbs at one point but I gained the 4lbs back :(. It's something about the 10 lbs loss that always makes me gain it all back. Once I get to 10 lbs, I can never lose anymore. Ive been on weight watcher 3 times and it's the same thing, 10 lbs lost, 10 lbs gained. That's why im here. Hopefully I can get support and information that I need to get from a 10lbs loss, to an 80 lbs loss! Thanks!
 
Guess I'm part of this club now since this week, after 2 and a half months of hard work, that first number changed from a 3 to a 2! Still have a ton to go obviously, but I've made a promise to myself and plenty of those around me that I will NEVER SEE THAT 3 AGAIN. Don't take this the wrong way, but here's to losing the next 99 and wishing this club farewell!
 
Welcome to all new 3 members in this thread :) I hope you guys keep up the good work hehe. I don't know what happened to our regular members here, but I guess i'm gonna keep this thread up for awhile. :)

I have been in the same boat!!! I would lose about 15 lbs and then gain it all back... For me it seems like I get a point about 3 weeks in that I am like I have done soo good for the last 3 weeks that I am gonna just eat what I want today... then it turns into the rest of the week.. gonna "re-start my diet on Monday" syndrome... and then it's a month before I try again... But I will try to help keep you motivated if you help me!!!

WE WILL BE SKINNY!!!
 
Hey y'all and hey Kevi!! You're not alone. I'm still here. Unfortunately, I'm still the same weight, too. At least I'm working out, though!!

How's the basketball/crazy partying going?
 
Basketball is fine and partying.. putting that aside for now, i'm very focused on losing weight hehe I actually started eating brown rice. I'm gonna see if theres any results in 2 weeks.
 
Welcome to the Club Moliss22, lafattack8705, and emericana!

Congratulations on the weight loss all of you have achieved so far.

:seeya: Later

That's what happens to me too. I was down at 243 like my scale says but vacation is evil especially when the food tastes soooo good!

I think I'm back up to 248 now. Eh.

Anyway, I'm unsure of how to break your plateu since I'm having the same problem obviously. But maybe once you lose the 10 pounds, you should try some different / new exercising video that will seem entertaining and fun to do for a while and maybe it will help you from regaining those 10 pounds.

Congratulations on finally moving into the new house! I just barely joined LA Fitness, haven't been there yet, I'm going today tho. So, let me know how Ballys works for you. I was thinking about going there, but LA just had so many more locations that were closer to me.

Oh, I think that you can lose 80 by April. I'm actually hoping you can because my goal is similar to yours, to lose about 75 by May. So good luck to both you and myself.

Eewww... brown rice? I think it tastes gross. Or maybe I just dont know how to cook it right. I'm so use to white rice.
 
Welcome Moliss22, lafattack8705, and emericana! Congrats on all your hard work and pounds gone!

Kevi, I LOVE brown rice! :)

Spartacus: I'm glad your still working out! I stopped working out for a week, and am trying to get back on track with that now.... and my calves are killing me after 15 minutes in the morning, and 13 in the evening on my elliptical!!

I came by to check on you all, see how everyones doing, and to report another 2lbs gone! :willy_nilly:
