I`m brand spanking new to this forum, but I`m far from new to dieting. When I was in my twenties and a slim 130 pounds, I never had to think about losing weight. My problems began in my thirties and I eventually wound up weighing 205 pounds about eight years ago.
I managed to get myself down to 190 pounds, but there I`ve stopped and I`m desperate. At fifty-five, my age isn`t helping me. Actually it`s been years since I`ve lost an ounce!
Arg-g-g-g-g-g-ghhhhh!
I hope this forum and website helps me out!
Starting weight: 190 lbs.
Current weight: 190 lbs.
Goal weight: 160 lbs.

Welcome stormaf- you will find lots of support and advice here on the forums. Although i attend weightwatchers meetings the only people i really turn to apart from my partner are the women on fitday. I do have good support from friends and family but they dont truly understand how important getting to goal is for me. Once again a big welcome and keep us posted on your progress.
As for myself i lost 4lbs at my weigh in on Tuesday and i was really pleased. I did have too much to eat on Tuesday evening but ive been doing fairly okay since then so im hoping for a loss next week.
The weekend is here and ive been shopping and got all my healthy supplies to keep me going all stocked up. The kiddies are at their dads this weekend and i tend to snack when im bored so ive gotta find some things to keep me busy. But sfter such a busy week and no hardly any sleep i will be happy for the rest and a good decent lie in.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

Hey Farah there hasnt seemed to have been a post here for a long time. I have been posting in the 14 weeks to xmas thread!
Im not at goal yet and after doing great for last 3 weeks ive had a bad few days and im finding it really hard to get back on track. All the treats in for Halloween hasnt helped! I shouldnt have bought so many! Once i started i just havent stopped.
Everytime i have a binge i feel like rubbish so why cant i learn and break the cycle. Even though the scales havent changed too much i feel HUGE and lack any confidence. I really need to pick myself back up because i really want to get to goal.
Im feeling pretty ashamed and guilty about all the bad food ive crammed in and wishing i could turn back the clock 72 hours.
Hope you are ok???

Hey ladies,
I apologize for not being here! I'm so please to see you all doing well. I've been at the same weight for the past month. No change! : ( It's been a little crazy with my job and life. I coach field hockey and this season didn't go well...mentally and physically. I struggled with a lot of attitudes on my team that led us to not be successful. It caused much stress and sleepless nights on my part. It's sad when I put more time and energy into something and the kids didn't appreciate it. As a result, I found myself under so much stress that I missed a period. (sorry for the TMI) Guess what my first thought was? That I was preggo. So, that added to my stress. My little guy is only 19 months and I wasn't sure if we were ready for #2. Then, I kept getting upset because of my weight loss goal of Dec. I didn't want to lose you ladies on this forum!!! It has been my saving grace for my stress and food urges!
With that being said, I'm not pregnant! I was only 3 weeks late, and I blame it on my players who caused me so much stress. I have never felt like that in my entire life. Through it all, I ate and ate! Luckily I didn't gain weight, but I didn't lose any either. So now, my husband and I are vowing to work out! I need to...I can't stand seeing all of you getting closer to your goals and me just HERE....DOING NOTHING. So, thanks for keeping me going even though I've been nonexistent for a month. I'm back and I'm ready to lose weight.

Reviving the thirty pound club!
Hi everyone - anyone out there with a 30-pound goal?
I hate to say it, but despite my best intentions and attempts, I seem to be someone whose weight yo-yos. I know, I know, that's the worst thing. I keep resolving to do the right things, and it sticks for a while, and then I get distracted and off track.
So I'm back again, now needing to lose 30 pounds, with my short-term goal to lose 13 pounds in 2 months. I figured 100 grams a day isn't expecting too much, and I know from experience that the first 6-8 lbs come off quickly and easily.
My plan:
logging foods,
sticking to the right calorie intake,
avoiding carbs, which are my downfall,
and starting to exercise again.
Anyone else trying to lose 30?

*Fingers crossed with support*
Hi all,
I'm a 23 year old grad student, and I work my butt off (unfortunately, not literally!) =P and essentially do double the max number of hours they recommend working per week to get myself through school.
I have been a yo-yo dieter for years, and tend to stress eat... which is not good for losing weight.
So this isn't easy...
I've gained about 8 pounds since beginning grad school in August, because of not having time to work out more than once a week...
But I want to put a stop to it. I want to be healthy by:
- Eating more whole foods
- Not stress eating
- Working out at least 4 days / week
- Not eating ANY sugar
- Minimizing processed foods
I am hoping with all the help and support from you wonderful ladies (from what I've read in the previous posts), I will be able to once and for-all get to and meet my goal.
Goal: 140 lbs.
Currently at: 167 lbs.
