I made a deal with myself, to lose 22 lbs/10kg before new clothes. I still have 4.5 /10lbs to lose. I want to get rid of all the clothes i bough during pregnancy yrs, and fit the before sizes. Feels so good when u lose :) Sure I would love to get back to the weight of the university yrs, but who am I kidding I`m not 20 anymore.

How were the ls form last year collection different? In what way?

You`re doing great! Come tells us more here http://www.specktra.net/t/176027/need-weight-loss-motivation/30#post_2224614
I`m not trying for my pre20 yrs weight because my body changed and looks different. Can you believe that my feet never went back to their pre-pregnancy size?

Respect ladies.

I too am overweight. I was on my first diet at 9 nine years old. Tried everything from eating bread and water only to counting calories to starving myself. You name it, I did it. 7 years ago I was fed up and decided to have surgery. I got gastric banding. I am not skinny, not by far. I lost at least 25 kg simply because at times I have to stop eating. I still eat bad stuff though. People will consider me fat (I could easily drop 35 kilos or so before I would be considered slender) but I have never felt so good about myself. After you become 30 slowly you start to accept your body. I know I did. I am happier in my body now than I was when I was much skinnier after starving myself for half a year. I am not as fat as I used to be and I feel good about myself. In the end, YOU live your life, not other people. What is most important is that you feel good in your own body. I really respect your efforts because I know how hard it is.

Me neither! I was a 38 (UK size 5) and now I'm a 39 (UK size 6). That's what having 3 children does to you, lol. My last two were big as well (over 4 kg / 9 lbs) and I put on loads of weight with both, so my feet got squashed. :)

Lou, I think losing over 60 lbs is absolutely fantastic and you should be very proud of yourself. I could really do with losing that much, but would settle for even half of it. I just have no motivation, I'm 36 now and just can't be bothered, lol.

You guys are so right about weight loss in our 30's. I have 3 children and with the first two I was able to go right back to my pre baby weight of 120-125 lbs. after my 3rd (had him at 29) three years ago I was not able to lose any of the weight until recently. I was 155 lbs in February and I am now 138 lbs. I don't think I want to get back to 120lbs so mt goal is to get to 130.

Sorry to tell you guys, but it's even worse in your 40s, particularly when the hormone wonkiness starts.

The answer for me has been low-carbing. The weight comes off easier than any other method, it keeps my reactive hypoglycemia under control, and I'm rarely hungry. My hot flashes are better on it too.
It's also done great things for my cholesterol - stays around 160, unmedicated, as long as I stay away from starch and sugar.

For me and my metabolism (and probably a large proportion of others out there) the whole low-fat dogma is both BS and a personal catastrophe. I'm sure some do well on it, but I do not. I'm just thankful I found another way that works and makes me healthier at the same time.

Good luck to all trying to chuck the extra poundage out there! I've recently pitched 12 lbs, have about 30 more to go.

You ladies are an inspiration to me. I too, need to lose some weight. I've been trying. I do pretty well. Lose a few pounds and then wham! I gain it back. Part of my problem is I love to snack. Sweet stuff is my weakness. I gave up salt, but the sugary stuff is very hard for me. I need to lose about 30/35 pounds. To be honest, I'd be happy if I can lose 10 at this point. Stress, health issues and laziness are a big issue with me. When I was younger I was very active and pretty thin. Then once I started working at my current job I started to gain. I sit A LOT and that is part of the problem. Plus, I am not as active as I used to be. I still do a lot of walking, but only on the weekends. By the time I get home, it's late and I am exhausted. All I want to do is eat and watch tv (as well as cuddle with my kitties). I have some health issues that I really need to get my weight right for. High cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes (which I do not have, but it runs in my family). I went off my cholesterol meds last year with hopes I would be able to get it down on my own. FAIL! This is all thanks to both sides of my family and I am bummed that I will have to go back on my medication. I guess it's better than risking having a heart attack. I'm going to start getting myself back on track. I need to lose the weight and get my exercise on. We can do this together ladies!!!! Thank you all for the inspiration again.

I crave salty foods. Chips, nuts, Munchos...LOL. I WILL get a sweet craving from time to time, though. But I pick popcorn over the candy bar anyday...

My ex used to tell me he was going to get me a salt lick to curb my cravings.
