My little weight loss truimphant....

[Laura's Babies]

Congratulations! Dieting is HARD.. Why is putting it on so much easier than taking it off? Seems unfair!

I gain 10 pounds every trip I work then I starve myself the time I am off to loose it or I would weigh 400+ pounds after 10 years of cooking out there!
10 pounds X 6 trips a year=60 pounds a year..... 10 years equals...

(Thank God I loose it, huh?)

Logan congrats are in order for you too, you have kept quiet about it all, you should be shouting it from the treetops, that is an incredible effort, keep up the good work and know that you are not alone, anytime you have a downer you must feel free to PM and share, as I know only too well the pitfalls of dieting, i consider myself somewhat an expert these days lol. It is even harder these days to shed the pounds, being older and I am now on medication three times daily which unfortunately makes me hungry, so I have to battle with hunger pains often, it is difficult,sometimes I feel ravenous beyond belief even though I have just eaten, I never was this way before the medication.

The bad thing about yoe-yoe dieting folks is quite serious, you are 70 times more likely to develop heart problems, it is too late for me now, but maybe if I can stop it now I will have less chance of this happening, if only I knew then what I now know, mind you this information has only recently been known to us all really.

I must say I have been thrilled to receive so many wonderful, positive and encouraging responses, this is why I share so much with PT, because even if i risk being boring I know I will get something awesome back from you all in return, I know you are all rooting for me and that helps me to continue with the battle ahead . I have no dieting sins to confess yet, but in my mind I know that it probably will happen and I probably will be turning to the PT confessional for help lol.

Congratulations!! I too have decided to lose 40 lbs. after my birthday a week and a half ago. I went to my yearly appointment and spoke with the doctor about my weight and didn't realize how high my BMI was. I've never dieted before and have always eaten whatever I want, whenever I want it. I'm doing Slim Fast right now with my husband and I've lost 3 lbs. I know not a lot, but I want to stick with this and keep the weight off. I've been overweight my entire twenties and have finally decided I don't want to waste my life hating myself and having low self esteem. Good luck with the Weight Watchers and PM me if you ever need to talk.

The meat idea is good but I have to go and pick up a Bucket of Lard (shortning to make me see it better. I to have health dealings That make it a nessacity to lose the weight. I seem to be stuck at 160 and can't get passed it. The doc wants me at 130 so I can mange my diabetes better. At 5'2" 160 is still a large amount but after being 225 for several years its better . But I still get winded and tired fast.
Your loss is inspiring guess I'll take the 2 monsters for a walk to morrow.
Kudos to you and keep it up.

I am trying to loose weight too. I haven't been as succesful as you, but I am proud anyway: I lost 2 kg over 1,5 month. Not much, but I am happy, as it was VERY hard!
