Hey everyone im Heather and i'm desperately trying to shed some weight. Heres a little about me, im married and have two kids, my son Johnny who is 3yo and daughter Kaylee who will be 1yo this Jan 24th. I currently weigh 190lbs and my ultimate goal would be 130lbs. I know i have a lot of work ahead of me and i hope with all of your guys' support and friendship i can finally stick to something and lose this weight once and for all.

Cant wait to meet all of you!

Hi Heather
Welcome to the forum. I am new too and finding it a great help.
I started 1 week ago at 164 lbs lost 4 lbs this week and my goal weight is 125-130 lbs.
I would love to be a yummy mummy too.
Have you started a diet yet? How are you getting on?
 
Welcome

Hello Heather,
This place is such a inspiration, full of positivity and support, i hope you enjoy your stay and best of luck with the diet. :party:
 
Good luck from Texas Heather. Stay motivated for your kids sake or even better for your future grandkids sake
 
Hey girls thanks so much for the warm welcomes. I recently have this program I got on my phone called "lose it" and it tells me how many calories i should eat a day. So i've been recording all of my intakes of food and my exercises and it tells me how im doing. Do you guys think that is enough to get started though? I cut out fast food and im trying to cut out deep friend food all together ( i have a deep fryer at home). Another goal of mine is to only have one can of pop a day, which o reallly need to start. As, for exercise i started to do those leg lifts to help out my tummy yesterday, that i plan on doing every night.

So my question to you ladies is this going to be enough for right now to help shed some weight??
 
its better to be steady

Hello Heather,
This is my 9th day on my diet and i cant believe what i have given up, i believe it was meant to fall from me, strange i know but i dont feel any attachment to the things that have passed away. I have given up pop[ everyday], sneaky mcdonalds b4 tea, eating when i am shopping, you know the sneaky somasa or wrap and then pay for it at the counter, bread swapped to weight watchers, 3 course meals every night, red wine, crisps, dips, dips, dips, and generally eating all day. So i reckon i have made a good start, the amazing thing is i dont want any of these bad habits. Today i made some coleslaw, dead easy shredded cabbage and carrots with salad cream it was lovely especially with the crackled black pepper over it, i didnt have low fat salad cream but i am not beating myself up just yet, so i guess i wouldnt beat yourself up over having a bit of pop, you need to wean yourself off it slowly. I made a big pan of soup which is dead easy to make as well, i have been eating regularly but small portions and it has seen me through my first week, i drank orange juice all week and feel great but i need to add my water and milk intake to, i have decided to weigh myself every 2 week so i dont go potty and i have a journal, i have done some before pictures and stuck them in my journal. My next few aims over the coming months are to wrote down everything i eat and to count my calories, but right now i am listening to what my stomach is saying because i want to differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger so i guess i will ponder this road for a while, so chill out girly its a long road. speak soon. x
 
Not all girls here Heather. Couldnt you tell from my buff Cardinal avater that Im a dude? Anyway keep going on your goals.
 
No problem.
Keep going...Its Jan 13th..How ya doing? Its kinda that first bog down time...Push through it
 
Hey everyone, so this first week is over and so far i lost 3 lbs! Im so happy that something is actually working for me. I hope you guys are doing well and hope to hear good news for ya!
 
Hey does anyone have any tips on some good exercises that i could do at home? I have to little kids so getting to the gym can be a challenge.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated;)
 
i would think about investing in some cheap workout videos. =P i have started doing leslies sansones walk slim dvds.. its the equivalent of miles... lol and umm i have lost like 5.8 pounds in 6 days... although this is my first week. =P might be water weight. but i feel really good afterwards. it gets you definitely breathing. since i am just starting i am doing 4 miles with stretching beforehand. after a week or two i will add resistance training. you dont want to overdo it. lol this is what has made me fail in the past. but leslie offers 1 mile 2 mile 3 mile 4 mile and jogs now i think lol... fun fun fun. or any other video like dancing... lol if you have the coordination for it... unfortunately i dont lol =P

good luck^^ see you around the forums =D
