Hi.. my name is Tiffany, I am an 18 yr old mother of a beautiful Lil girl named Lexis Marie. I have struggled with my weight my whole life!!! I got to my biggest at 240lbs..at only age 14!!! So my mother and i started a diet, i stuck to mine..but she kinda fell off the wagon. I finally got down to my smallest at 140 (the day i found out i was pregnant)...and reached back up to 204 when i gave birth.After I had my daughter I started back up with my dieting and exercising, and got back down to 150... but for some reason after i married the father of my daughter in Sept. i just stopped the dieting and exercising...and am now back up to 210!!!:eek: My husband just recently joined the air force and will be leaving for his basic and technical training anytime now. So i have decided this is the perfect time to get down to my goal weight of 130... and become a healthier person.. not just for me but for my daughter as well! I have purchased the Power 90 series, and plan to start it this coming Monday! i have a record of starting exercise plans..and then only continuing them for about a week or two.. so I'm hoping that i can get support and motivation this time.. from anyone who wants to help me out.. or is in the same boat as me...and can keep each other going!!:p

Welcome here! Your goal weight is about the same as mine! Good for you for wanting to get healthy. You've done it before, you can do it again! :)
 
Yeah I have done it before.. and thats what i keep telling myself! I CAN do it again! lol... but Ty for welcoming me!.. i can tell i will get all the support i need to keep me motivated!!:eek:
 
Hi Tiffany,
Welcome to the WLF and to your diary :)

There's no doubt - you CAN do it, set out a plan and take it one day at a time!
 
Ty for the motivation!! It really helps alot.. and i definitely think that it will be easier(it wont b easy..but hopefully a lil easier) than last time, with all of the support and motivation from everyone!! so ty again!!!

P.S can anyone help me.. i can not for the life of me figure out how to get my ticker as my sig. ive tried all of the link thingys that the site gives you.. but i just cant seem to get it to work...
 
Go to and create the ticker of choice. Copy the BBC code then come back here, go under UserCP click edit signature, then paste the bbc code in and hit save.

That should work :)
 
It works :) Congratulations!

And your question reminded me that the link for my ticker has been broken all day!
 
OK.. so todays the day!.. I feel great... I'm really motivated this time!! and i WILL do this!!!... I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm not to sure what to eat yet!.. i have the habit of thinking a cant really eat anything.. and I'm trying to break that habit, because it is the main reason i can never stick to a diet!.... I cant exercise until my daughter goes down for her nap...so i have a Lil while before a start the Power 90, but the good thing is that my husband says he is going to do it with me! He doesn't really need to lose weight, he just needs to get in shape for boot camp!

Have a Good morning everyone!!! :p

Well this is going to be my before picture.. it was taken yesterday on Easter.. at my mother in-laws house... When i saw it ..i almost started crying!!..but i realized that it just will give me even more motivation!...becuase i don't want to look like that again!...and i couldn't believe that i let myself get back up to that weight!..i was so disappointed in myself!!!!.... But it can only get better now!!! i will be posting my in-between.. and i WILL get an after picture!!! lol

You are cute and beautiful and becoming a weightloss warrior.

As M2M taught me, weight loss is one day, one meal at a time. One good change will lead to another and you will gain momentum.

Welcome to your diary. Keep posting and you have a gorgeous lovely daughter.

Stay positive. Make the changes and wait for fulfillment.
 
Ty guys!.. It really helps having all this support, and positive things that ppl on here have to say!!!.. I never had that before, and it just feels great!!! And its already so much easier this time, being able to write all this down and record my thoughts and feelings... and food log... which btw i will be posting every night.. to keep track of what i put in my body... and also to help me stick to this... cuz if i have to put it up here for all of u to c.. then i will feel embarrassed of myself if i cheat, and then knowing all of u know that too..lol... so its just easier this way!!!
 
Good luck! This forum can be very helpful to you. Read around for people's advice. Visit daily.

You said you often give up after a week. Make it your goal to get past the week. And if you slip up, keep going. We all slip up. Just don't give up. And don't beat yourself up if you slip.

Lots of 'ups' in those sentences. Anyway....

One step is to count your calories for a week. You can eat normally during the week or let the counting affect your food choices. Either way. Weigh and measure (food scale for $5-10) your food. You won't do this forever, and it's a lot of work. But it is so educational to learn how many calories you are really putting in your body. It's truly a shocker, a wake up call. Probably the biggest impact of anything I've ever tried.

Is the POWER 90 an exercise program? Tell more about it if you will.

Welcome to WLF! You can do it.
 
Yeah I'm going to be counting my calories.. i went to a site.. and I'm allowed 1476 a day if i want to lose 2 lbs a week.. so I'm going to stick to that!

Well Power 90 is kind of an exercise program.. one day i do the Sculpting video.. and the next i do the Cardio video.. and as you go along u up the intensity and use the 3-4 videos instead of the 1-2 videos.. i actually like this program alot.. i used it b4 when i lost all of my weight! here is the link to their site if you want to check it out
