Hi everyone! I am just checking in. I haven't posted in a couple days and wanted to get back on it. I bought my train ticket today, so as of right now I am all packed and set to move on Saturday. I am terrified! But I am also excited and eager to get started already. I have been on my own since I was 17, but this is huge for me. I never just ran away to a new town to start over. I hope and pray that everything will work out for me.
I have not kept up on my calorie charts this week and I am a litlle disappointed in myself for that. I keep telling myself to get back up there but then I just cover it up with saying im depressed. I had some Ice cream with my nephew today and thankfully he ate most of it so I only got a few bites. It was enough of a fix for me.
Well anyway as you can probably tell from my ramble I am exhausted. I have been awake for 40 hours! Thats right I haven't slept in a WHOLE work week! Goodnight everyone!

Just started on Monday.
Starting weight 4/4/11 264lbs
Goal weight 12/31/11 200lbs
Bring it on!
Unfortunately, I don't have ANY time to exercise because I am in grad school full time and work more than the typical 40 hour work week, but I do what I can by taking the stairs and parking at the back of parking lots. Right now, I am mostly focusing on my food choices

Good afternoon everyone. I have been lurking in the background for a while now, and have decided to join in the chats. Congratulations to all the "losers" here, your stories are an inspiration to me as I also have 100+ lbs to lose. I especially like the " 10%Challenges" that are being done. I have joined the current one ending July 4th. Good luck all!!!

im on some medications that make me gain weight
maybe its not possible for me to lose weight because im on so many medications that make it harder to lose weight. im bipolar and take several hormonal mediations. i think im eating too many carbs...even if it is only 1,000 calories. i will try more protein. still hopeful

I've kinda had a slow week myself--wavering around the 258-260 mark. It could be partially the result of my "day off" last Saturday when I drank some beer.
I'm hoping to have a good weigh-in tomorrow--have done my almost two mile loop every day this week, even jogged a bit today.

Plateau's and break throughs.
10 days and still no downward movement on the scale to me. I have been doing elliptical (actually increased duration) 4X week and walking 30-45 min on alternate days, not too mention yard work as the spring is here. My calorie intake is between 1000-1200 daily, creating a deficit of 1400-1200 daily. I have not changed my diet, other than adding All Bran to my Yogurt and herbal tea at night. Eating less beef and more chicken....
Oh well....I know this is just the pay back, but man, if it slows down like this now, what will happen when I actually get within 50 lbs of my goal weight. Such impatience
Os the good news is, I have not waivered from my routine and I am proud to say that I have not indulged in emotional eating. Yeah for me and small victories.
