Hey guys,
So this is week 2 of my diet plan and this is how it's gone.
Today is Sunday.
Height = 165cms
Age = 21
Female.
Starting Weight = 93kgs/ 204.6 lbs
Todays Weight = 90.5 kgs/ 199.1 lbs
Total weightloss of = 2.5kgs/ 5.5 lbs
Weightloss to go = 35.5 kg/ 78.1 lbs
Goal weight = 55kgs/ 121 pounds
My high point for the week was finding an awesome bulk market that sells fresh veggies in bulk. So i've been able to keep at a $60 per week budget which is amazing.
My low point was my BF teasing me with pizza and chocolate. I didn't give in but it was annoying.
I'll keep posting my new weight each week so good luck everyone!.

My name is Nick. I am 19 years old and weigh 300 pounds. For most of my life i have been overweight. 2 years ago i weighed 240 pounds. I was overweight but felt a lot better about myself then I do now. My mother passed away my junior year in high school. This caused me to become depressed and the weight gain started pretty quickly. The depression has for the most part gone away. Now it is time to start losing this weight. My goal is to get down to 200 pounds. Once i reach that weight I am going to enlist in the Army. This is the most motivated i have been since i can remember. I joined a gym today for the first time. I can't wait to lose these pounds!

Hi everyone, I'm maraea. I'm 20, a student and live in NZ. I'm planning to lose 30kgs (which is about 66 pounds) over the next six months.
I've always been little, but due to a bad self image never really believed it until now when I look back on old photos. What worries me the most is how unhealthy I feel. Lathargic; grumpy; bored; lazy. It's horrible! I'm only 20 years old but my body feels as if it was 50.
The bigges problems, I find, are that I love food and get de-motivated really quickly. I make a lot of plans, but sticking to it is the hardest. My 21st birthday is coming up, which is when I would love to be able to feel like myself again. So I keep reminding myself of what I want and what I need to do to get it :)
I hope this website can help me keep track of everything and motivate me enough to see my goal to the end :)
Thanks

Hello. I'm Stefanie. I am trying to lose about 50lbs. I know it will take time and motivation. Motivation seems to be the part I'm missing. I have tried several times to lose weight. I used to go to the gym with a friend for about a yr and a half but quit losing weight after about 3 months. She then moved so I lost my motivation to go alone. If you have any suggestions on good exercises I could use, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks.

Hello all, my name is Keri. I am among the lucky bunch of us with a fairly LARGE amount of weight to lose. I was able to lose 50 lbs from Jan to June of last year, then got cocky, let my habits slide, and gained it all back (plus some). I can't honestly saw how much I need to lose right now because I am deathly afraid of a scale at the moment, but I would be willing to guess it is close to 100 lbs. I am really loving this site, I think it will help with accountability. Here goes, Day 1 of the rest of my life!

Hi...Jim here. I have gained and lost enough weight in my 49 years to make another family. Last year I had a blood pressure scare...260/184. Cardiologist put me on BP meds. Told me I could get off meds with weight loss. Year 1...60 #'s lost after 9 months. Then the train went off the tracks plus 25#'s. It is time to finish something I started. Focus for me on simple cardio and eating well. I wanna do it this time. I have 50 days till I go back to cardiologist. I wanna show huge improvement for that visit and maybe get off the meds!

Hello
My name is Melissa, I am 26 years old and am a mommy of two. My goal is to lose anywhere from 50-70 lbs and would just like to feel healthier. I have always been a little over weight but most of the weight I gained after having both my kids I was 152 after I had my first child in 05 and gained 60 lbs before I had my second child in 09 then gained another 40 after my second child. In 2011 I started a weight loss journey which I was doing so good with. I lost 50 lbs in 10 months was looking good feeling good and felt like nothing could bring me down. Now I don't know if I was over doing it or not but I ended up injuring my leg and foot which kept me out of the game for a while. I felt really bad after all that hard work and determination I had, now it was all going to waste I fell back into my old ways again. I have gained 20 lbs back again and am now finding it very hard to get back to that same me that had drive and motivation and will power. I feel like I'm almost supposed to be this way because I guess I am overweight and it is taking it's toll on my feet and legs and back so when I do go and workout I feel immense pain but I have always had problems with my knees and legs since I was a child but after a workout It hurts so much to just walk. Yes I did have this pain before but it was never this bad and I used to be able to push through it but now it stops me dead in my tracks. I'm stuck in a rut and I don't know how to pull myself out of it without hurting my self. I'm hoping this group will help me find my motivation and determination I left behind.

I'm Cathy, also new to the site. I have just started a get healthy program for myself, I quit smoking in January and joined a gym 2 weeks ago and have been going 5 days a week. I am really enjoying going, I have way more energy but am finding that the scale is not moving like I thought it would. I'm hoping to see that change quickly. I have a 70 lbs that want to take off to get down to 150.

Try not to focus on the scale as much because I know it can be pretty disappointing in the beginning give your body some time to adjust to all the new wonderful things. Some people will notice a change right away but most won't notice a change until maybe 3 or even 4 months time. Most will tell you to forget the scale for the first six months but I understand that is like buying a new pair of jeans and not wearing them. Don't be so hard on yourself trust me the change will come sooner than later :) good luck on your weight loss journey

Also maybe measuring your waist line, hips and bust might help because the scale may be telling you you are not losing anything but what you are losing you are probably gaining in muscle which is heavier than fat. Measure yourself maybe once every two weeks I can guarantee you will then see the difference :)

Hi, I'm Rachel. I am looking to lose 50-60lbs. My scale battery died but I would guess I weigh about 180. I'll get a new one for the weigh ins. I have 5 kids and I've done really well with losing the weight between them. Within the last 2 years I had two miscarriages that caused alot of emotional eating, and then a baby that came with another 30lbs of weight gain. I have never been this heavy. I turn 35 this year and that has me really motivated to get down to around 130 or 135. My baby is 5 months old now, so its time to kick it into high gear. My sister and I are working out and emailing each other to stay accountable. Hopefully that works out for us. I want to start running as well. We're moving in just about 2 months and I want to run every day until we move.

I'm Constance aka rapunzarella. I want to lose about 50 lbs. I'm about 185 now and the heaviest I've ever been without being pregnant. I'm a mother of 4 with 3 of them under 3yrs making it not as easy to workout. Not impossible just more difficult. I'm a stay at home mom so going to the gym isn't really an option economically but there are plenty home and body weight exercises that can get me where I want to be. I'm a motivator who can motivate myself. I need an ass kicker, anybody out there?

My name is Jesse I'm trying to lose 50 lbs and avoid the freshman 15. Luckily the college I go to has a decent gym and so this is where the fight starts. I'd like to be healthy all of my life and I figure now is a really good time to start. I'm typically pretty motivated but I am human so I do get sidetracked on occassion. Here goes nothing.

--- If you're trying to lose weight lift less weight but do more reps. For example instead of bench pressing 100 kg for 5 reps 5 sets, bench press 70 kg 10 reps for 5 sets. Then maybe run 30 minutes on the treadmill and lift for 1 hour.
