Hi there! My goal is to lose 88 lb in the next 12 months. I'm doing this by exercising 5 times a week and eating balanced, low fat, low calorie meals. I've lost 8 lb already! Anyone want to share with me how and what they're doing! Happy shrinking!!!!
Oh! p.s. the name means honey, in case you were wondering.

BeeBarf, I cracked up when I read your name! I had quite a discussion about that with my 2nd graders a couple years ago! What a riot!

Good luck on your goal to lose 88 pounds. My goal right now is to lose 10 pounds before school starts. The way I am going, I will gain 10!!!!

Hi everyone. I just started my weight loss program and will weigh in every Saturday morning. My current weight is 234-1/2 and will post again next Saturday with hopefully a good loss. I want to get down to 140 lbs. by next June 30, which is when our town will be going all out for the year 2000 celebrations. All the people I graduated from school with will be there and I want to be small!!! Wish me luck! I want to lose at least 94-1/2 lbs. and I have 11 months to do it in. Right now I feel I can!

JayCee, Good luck on your weight loss!

I have been doing the water thing, getting plenty of fresh vegies and fruits, and getting in at least 15 minutes of exercise each day. I have tried to be consistent about writing down everything that I eat in a journal. I am not losing anything though.
I weigh in on Thursday mornings and am not looking forward to tomorrow.

Tammy, how did you do on your weigh-in today? I haven't had a really great week but if I lose anything at all, I will be very much appreciative! good luck.

I had a 2 pound gain yesterday! Talk about a bummer! I wanted to scream, but I laughed instead. Weird. Today I got weighed again (usually I weigh once a week on Thurs.) because I couldn't believe yesterday's weight. I had gained 1/2 pound!!! I didn't laugh today.

Hi Tammy. Sorry to hear about your gain. I only lost 1/2 lb. so I don't fee much better. Gotta get with it this week, for sure! Had a very stressful week, with sending my mom to the hospital in the ambulance. Have been going down there since she got home to make sure she is ok and get her meals. However she's much better now and hopefully I can get back on track. Good luck in the coming days ahead. Hopefully we can both report a loss for this week!

Hi everyone. So happy to report a 4-1/2 lbs. weight loss this week. Tammy, how did you do? Hope you had a good week as well. I have been so good, it is sickening! Good luck everyone.

JayCee, how is your mother?????? Hope things are OK.

I didn't weigh in Thursday morning. Actually I did. I rejoined Weight Watchers! I ate breakfast before I went and their scales aren't the same as mine, so this week didn't count for anything. My first "official" weigh in will be this coming Thursday.

Congrats on your fantastic weight loss!! You are doing great!! I hope to lose at least one pound. I don't want to hope for too much.

BeeBarf, how are you doing?????? Please keep us posted!!!!!!!!

Tammy - Good luck with the weight watchers. It is a really good program. I have a copy of the point system and it looks easy to follow. I am really motivated this time, more so than ever, for some reason. I just hope I can stay this way! I have to make a birthday cake for my sister tonight so I'm not looking forward to taking it to her. I know I will end up having a piece! I have been doing so well thus far. Good luck!

Hi everyone. Tammy, I lost another 2-1/2 lb. this week, making a total of 7 lbs. for two weeks. I am very excited about that! How did you do at weight watchers on Thursday? I sure hope you had a good week too. I'll check back later to see your progress. Have a good week!

Hi Gillie here. I'm new to going it alone as I got stuck on WW and decided my time could be better spent going to the gym. My motivation is at an all time low at the moment and want to lose about 20 pounds by Christmas I'm in desperate need of some people to keep a check on me! I weighed in at 60 pounds this morning ( I may have tis wrong is that 9 1/2 stone?) Please somebody help me!

Hi Gillie. A stone is 14 lbs. so if you weighed 9-1/2 stone, you would weigh 133 lbs. You said you weighed 60 lbs. but that has to be a mistake!!! LOL

For example, if someone weighed 200 lbs., you would say 14.3 stone (or close). Hope this helps you and hope you are doing well!

Hi everyone I am new and since I posted on the other board I thought I would here to. I started taking Vitalife2000. I bought it online at VitaminCart.com.(little plug since they have been so nice.) I have lost 20 in five weeks, I will now keep you posted of how I am doing each week.
