I will join too, I definitely need some positive reinforcement. Here are my stats:
age: 27
weight: 124
height 5'4"
Just a month ago I was only 113. I was also a little depressed. I honestly don't know what happened except that I stopped eating raisin bran for breakfast every morning. I want to get down to about 117, that seems to be a healthy energetic weight for me.
I also want to work on my midsection. Since new data is coming out saying that your waist size directly determines your heart health I am determined to stay fit there at least! I'm so bad about excercising unless its doing something fun.

Welcome to the newbies ;-) xo
Tish - feel better sweetie. I'm so sorry you have been sick - just focus on getting better and the other stuff will fall into place.
rbella and anyone else in the path of Ike - stay safe! *lights a candle* Hopefully the storm will lose some steam by the time it reaches you....
I am still struggling, but determined to stay on core. I think it is really what I need right now. Mel - you are a total inspiration to me!
Take care everyone

Welcome agirl & pumpkin!!!
I have done absolute shite today... i have had so much junk food. Did ok for breakfast... 1/2 bacon sandwich... went to the cinema and had a little popcorn... and then for lunch... went to Nandos and had Caesar salad... they are so bad for you with the dressing and cheese. Also had chips with my lunch. For dinner, had a chinese takeaway. I wasn't planning on having dinner but my DH decided to order and i gave it and got something.
I am so pissed off at myself because I have been so good all week and working really hard and I blew it today. I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning and saw that i only lost 1lb and was really disappointed because i wanted to lose more... it seemed like such a waste because i have been busting my gut all week for only 1lb... doesn't seem worth all the effort. I think i sabotaged myself after that... and decided to have a bad day.
I just feel like shit right now... i hate going through this shit. Why can't i just ever say no or just control myself.

Beacause dieting is so hard! I know how you feel but don't be so hard on yourself..we all mess up! You may have only lost 1 lb this week and next week it may be 5lbs...It seems the weeks I try the hardest I loose the less and when I try not so hard I loose the most...Just be patient and it will all work out. I have to keep saying I didn't gain it overnight I won't loose it overnight. Just don't give up!! We are all struggling right here with you and we can do this!!!
And...I have stopped looking at the scale...It frustrates me...Because most times we loose inches and that does not reflect on the scale..I am going by how I look and feel in my clothes. Not sure if I can fix how I feel naked
without major Plastic Surgery!!!

I feel like crap today, gals. I am not ever drinking another soda at all, I just feel so rotten and gassy today after having half a can, ugh. Sorry if that was TMI, but goodness, I'm hurting right now.

i havent joined this weight loss group yet but i read up on it daily as im trying to lose weight myself but i've learned that looking at the scale discourages me even more!!! so for a lot of people i think thats what hurts us the most because we tend to pay too much attention to the scale rather than inches lost. keep up the good work everyone. i havent lost a pound but i feel sooo much better about myself! anywho since im here might as well join right!?
i'm turning 23 in two weeks! yay! but i'm trying to lose at least 10 lbs by then which i highly doubt would happen. i'm 5'4" and weigh 135lbs. its been hard for me because ive always struggled with my weight. i was 112lbs 6 months ago so i've gained quite a good amount of weight!!! ive lost weight before so im positive i can do this if not by my bday then sometime soon!!!

x LADIES, whats with the slack!!?!? *CRACKS THAT WHIP*
Anyways you know today is my move-in day at my new place so by this weekend I will be back on track. Right now I'm also experiencing my once-in-a-blue-moon period so that's consisting of being depressed about bloating AND eating things I shouldn't but normally don't so it's ok to splurge.
Personally super excited about having a new place to live and finally being able to use the University's gym!!! And get some PT Sessions going again cuz they are hella cheap there!!!!
Tish I totally agree. Go by clothing sizes and inches. Sometimes its the lbs that come off, other times its in the inches. Personally for me I can lose a lot of weight like on Atkins last month it was 7lbs but hardly any inches like ONE around my belly. Which really sucks big time. Its all about the inches to me lol I really actually want lipo just for my love handles to take off like 6 inches b.c I know I'm supposed to be a size 4 b.c that's what I used to be all in high school and at least only a 7. So idk I get money from school now, two $2k checks, that would pay for it and it's a serious contemplation at this point because I feel I have exaughsted all other options. I'm 19 years old and I could have so many boyfriends right now and be working toward my future but I won't let anyone touch me like I'm diseased or something cuz I hate my body so badly. And I know it could be worse, but it's bad enough *for me* and everybody is different. The thing is that I don't want to waste any more of my prime years being so hung up and depressed about my weight that it inhibits what is to be the best years, the college years, so I dunno...(I know the risks, and to find a good doc, etc. It's just taking those steps when I've always felt I could do it on my own yet nothingggg seems to be working. Well Atkins did help me lose some lbs and I'm bloated right now so who knows. lol but yeah just my rambling....whew!)
Bella, still no DP's I hope? GlAM, MELL, TISH, BRIT, RACH, GROWING, EVERYONE ELSE, HOW ARE YOU ALL?????? PLEASE STAY STRONG THIS WEEK, WEEKENDS OVER.
LOL
pumpkin not to be rude at all but didn't you battle anorexia or something I read? and you have no weight to lose, maybe to firm up at that lbs but I think that you need better support and stuff than we can give you because I honestly don't want to contribute to you just eating raisin bran to get down to a stupid number. :shrug:
and Mell, no one is perfect. You didn't blow anything by eating badly one day. Well I'm not sure what exactly WW Core is but I'm sure it doesn't prohibit anything, it's all about moderation. So what if you ate too much of the wrong thing? It was one day. Think about all those days you did fantastic and since you ARE on WW and not something strict i won't be as hard on you. it's ok to binge once and a while anyways because that kicks your metabolism into high gear. and if you feel bad about it, go back and do that 4 minute world best excersize! Seriously. lol. but I highly doubt thats what only made you lose 1lb because you would have had to consume 3,500 calories that day JUST to gain a lb... so stay strong my dear
So has anyone done the 4 min excersize video every morning? I haven't yet, wish I could say I have. I have done it a few times and showed it to my mom. LOL... but not in the mornings like I need to. like I want to. NEVER enough time in the days I swear

I've been good over the weekend, but saturday night I had some beers and drinks... But I drink so not often, like 1 time per 3 months so it doesnt matter.
Today I'm home, we STILL have those stupide plumbing troubles, I just couldnt go to work because I was too stressed out. I also missed my recipe, a mix of small shrimps with basmati rice, avocado and some wafu vinaigrette... it was horrible so we just ate it like that, without the sea weed sheets

Lean Cuisine Paninis were 99 cents so I STOCKED UP and have been eating them for lunch every day. They're only like 300 calories each and they YUMMY (not to mention convenient)
Tish, I hope you feel better. Mel and Willa, don't let little set backs keep you down!
Everyone else, what's up with an update?!

TODAY WAS AMAZING!!! (It deserved all caps.) I have lost a total of 8 lbs since I started a month ago. Seems small, But I have noticed especially around my arms and stomach, so much so that yesterday I went to get new bras and I'm down a cup and number size... I'm excited!
Rbella, I hope they get power and stuff to you guys soon, a friend of mine lives in Conroe and they are out too, and they aren't sure how long for.

Congratulations. 8lbs isn't a small amount. You should be losing on average about 2lbs a week for a healthy weight loss and to keep it off.
Thanks everybody for your support over the last few days. I don't know why i stress so much. I need to learn to stop doing that and to stay off the scales because all it is doing is getting me upset.
I had WI yesterday and lost 2lbs
. I am so happy. I wasn't expecting to lose anything but I did. I have lost 10 lbs so far and only have 15% to go until i lose my 10%. I need 9 lbs more to get to the 15 lost by November for our challenge.
Food wise, I have been doing good and not restricting myself. I have done brilliantly the last few days and feel so much better than I did over the weekend.
