I just started this website and I feel that I can actually reach my weight loss goal. Today I had a bad day because of my weight. It wasn't that people made fun of me it's just that when I get upset about my weight or my condition that I can crack at anything. I came home today and found out that I had to work when I don't remember ever that anyone told me I had to work. So I just started crying, I couldn't stop crying for 20 minutes. I really hope that I can get the support that I need from this website because it could change my whole life and future around. The condition that I have is prediabetes. My father has type 2 diabetes and I am at high risk for type 2 diabetes and I can only prevent it if I lose weight. Thank you all for the support!

Hey Everyone

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it. I love how this website works. Today is going by a lot better than usual and I am kind of glad. Four more days of school and I am a Senior! I am so excited! I can't wait until this summer. I am actually going to change my way of life and I can't wait.
 
WELOCME!!!!!! :D :D

Girl, you are so going to do this!!!!! You will loose weight over the summer and feel so much better in the inside as well as out. Then You could actually enjoy your last year. And worry about your weight. Don't get discourged if you don't loose every week. It happens to all of us. We all have a good and BAD :mad: days,weeks, even months.

Don't limit to what you eat just your portions. And # 1 rule is to DRINK YOUR WATER at all times:p Have a GREAT day
 
What's up?!

Today was a great day! Besides the fact that I have to take Algebra 2 over again. But I am not going to lewt that bring me down. My diet and excercise is going great so far. I know it's going to get difficult but I am ready for any challenge that comes my way!:D
 
You are going to do it! And just think how good you will feel when you do! Keep up the good work and positive thoughts!:D
 
Today at work

Today at work wasn't that bad. I drank a lot of water and no soda!! I am so proud of myelf! The restuarant was really slow tonight. I am not doing to bad it's just that now I have to start working out. It is only my second day but I am going strong becasue of all the support that I am getting here!!!!

Stephanie:D
 
Stephanie, CONGRATULATIONS on taking the first steps towards reaching your goal!

You CAN do this!
 
Good Luck!!

Good luck to everyone trying to lose weight. I know that you can do it. My mom went fishing this morning so I am going to work out. I know that it takes a week or so to start seeing the results of working out but I am ready to stick it out.

eye of the tiger, baby

Good luck with your working out. I lost 20 lbs right before I got pregnant 5 years ago. I was not dieting at all at that time, and all I was really doing was strength training at the gym. (I was so out of shape strength training got my cardio up, too!) When I started, I could not do one crunch. By the time I got pregnant, I could do two sets of 10. Unfortunately, I am starting over from scratch (and then some) with 100 pounds to lose, but I know that every walk I take I get a little stronger and walk a little farther.

Remember, every exercise you do makes you that much stronger. Every workout builds a little strength, so it is just a little bit easier the next day. Even Rocky didn't climb those stairs his first week of training!!!! Have the eye of the tiger, and just keep after it. Getting stronger... (Please forgive the corny references.) :eek:
 
Wow!!!

Wow I can't beleive how much support I am getting from this website! My parents don't even give me this much support. For once in my life I feel that I can do something productive with my life, live beyond 60. Today I woke up at 9 am (central time) and when my mom got home I was tried. So I went back to bed and didn't wake up until 1 pm!! I have got to stop taking naps so much. I'm not in kindergarten anymore! I found out today that the only way that I am going to get results from my workouts is if I use a workout tape. So far it's going great! Don't forget drink your water!!

Thanks
Stephanie:eek:
 
Today

I have been drinking all of my water for two days in a row. I haven't drank soda for two days too. I worked out a little bit but I need to get moving in that department. I want to weigh myself but I am afraid of failure. I am changing my bad habits one at a time. I figured that is the only way to change me.

Stephanie:D
 
You're doing great so far! The amount of support you get from here is amazing! I'm doing so great so far because of everyone here. I know what you mean about the taking naps. Before I started eating right and exercising all I wanted to do was sleep in and take naps. And because of that I felt so lazy and tired and gross. But now that I've been exercising and eating right I don't take naps, I wake up earlier and I have so much energy. Good luck with everything, you can do it! :D
 
I haven't taken a nap yet today and I am so proud of myself. I can't believe that this diet is actually working! I have tried so many diets that I have lost count already. I've drank 5 glasses of water today so far and it's my third day without soda. I found out today that to get the exercise that I need I need to do workout videos. A workout video that I love is a dance cardio workout that also works your abs.
 
bad scale

Hey, if you are afraid of weighing yourself - or more likely, afraid of beating yourself up emotionally if you weigh yourself and do not like what you see - then do what I did...

Give yourself the first 30 days to make some changes without EVER getting on a scale! Make a commitment to AVOID THE SCALE for a full 30 days. It's the hardest part of my plan so far, to be honest, but I know I would have gotten depressed in the first couple of weeks and just given up if I had not taken this step. It's been one of the best things I could have done. I weigh on the 10th of this month, and I can't wait, but I am also apprehensive. But I haven't quit!!! (And I can button my jeans again already!!!)

That scale can really be your worst enemy when you are starting out. Or, at least this was true for me.
 
Weighing Myself

I think that I am going to do what you are doing it seems like a good idea and I need to challenge myself more. I have been drinking my water for three days now and I am so proud of myself. Another thing that I have accomplished is that I haven't had any soda for three days. I drink a lot of soda and I can't believe that this is actually happening!:D
