OK, Enough is Enough...

make sure you don't lose it too quickly or your body will revolt.
I highly reccommend the Jerusalem Diet - I have been on it for 2 weeks and lost about 4 1/2 pounds.

Yeah, I know, unfortunately through lots of crash dieting and drug use when I was younger, my metabolism is incredibly slow. So I am trying to do it the right way this time around.

I am now on day four, and feeling pretty good that I have had no refined sugar, Chocolate and cola are my two biggest vices. The worst part is watching friends and my roommate stuff themselves, but one day at a time.

Good luck!!

I lost 30 lbs a couple years ago, just from eating wiser and exercising more. Then I went vegetarian and it's very easy to keep the weight off now

7 pounds and counting.

And the doctor said the muscle mass in my leg is almost back to normal!

Congrats keep up the good work

I was over 180p in March & I'm now about 150p (guessing as I don't have a scale, but I'm much thinner then my friend & shes 160p). When people start to notice, you'll feel AWESOME inside!! I find that pop makes the tummy stick WAY out.. when I stop drinking pop for 2 weeks, I swear my tummy deflates & when I start up again, it inflates again.. I do need to go on a pop diet again, as I stopped loosing weight (I'm at a stand still, not bad, but not what I want either)..

Keep working hard & You'll be in your swim suit soon enough

GOod luck! I'm sure you'll suceed!

My goal is also around 130 lbs. I'm at 148... I've got a ways to go.

You are really a strong person Jackie.

sorry, I am a skinny person, but, not in the Bikini crowd any more.

My sister (my best friend) is the opposite. She is over weight, eats junk food, chocolate and cola. I wish her husband would help her out and buy fresh fruit and vegetables instead of catering to her with fast food.

I applaud your determination because knee surgery is worse than hip surgery., so much harder to recover from. You are well on your way to reaching the goal you want to achieve. I wish I had more of your inner drive.


Bravo Jackie!!!!!!!!!!

I feel exactly the same, I need to lose weight because its the biggest I've ever been and I really dont like it, I used to go to the gym but with someone and now no one wants to go I feel like I haven't got the confidence to go to the gym on my own, I'm quite a shy person and wouldnt do anything without someone with me I guess I find comfort in it..

[Daisy and Delilah]

Way to go Jackie!! Keep up the good work! What kind of knee surgery did you have?

[jackie]

I tore my meniscus in the gym last May, and my knee was locked for 2 weeks. After the operation, I could never fully extend my leg, and had a really small range of movement.

In all honesty, I think they messed up the first operation. It hurt constantly, my kneecap would slide to the right/make horrible clicking noises, and I had a BAD limp.

Then in August, I was swimming and my knee clicked and locked again. The next operation was to repair the meniscus and the cruciante ligament. After the second operation I felt a million times better, and my limp is gone!

[jackie]

Oh, and for anyone that has joint pain, I really recomend glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements!
