I've lost about fifty pounds...I am struggling to loose about fifteen more...its on and off...I can loose weight whenerver I need to, but sometimes I just want a burger...this month is going to be hardcore watch my weight month though because I have a big dance coming up and I want to look awsome for my boyfriend.

The first two are me from 20 pounds ago...digital pics werent around when I was 30 pounds heavier...but maybe I'll scan one later.

A lot of people say I've lost weight, and I've really been trying, but I can't see the results in myself. I'll post two pics. The first one is from a little over a year ago and the second one is from about a month ago.

This was me at my heaviest. I'm on the left in the green shirt.


And me now after losing 50 lbs.

I love to see the difference in people when they just eat right and work out, even though all those programs like WW are great, its good to see people doing it the old fashioned way!

I lost weight by doing weight watchers. The thing that I think most people don't understand about it is that it isn't a "diet". It really is just losing weight the old fashioned way, the only difference is that you have a support group. By checking in once a week you are held accountable for making sure you eat right and exercise. There isn't nothing on the program that you can or can't eat, it isn't resctrictive like a diet, instead it teaches you how to eat the food you normally eat but eat them in right amounts. I loved meeting with a group once a week, I think that without them I couldn't have done it. It's been nearly two years and even though I haven't gone to a meeting in over a year and a half I've still kept all the weight off because of what I learned about nutrition.

I found the only way for me to lose weight is to count calories.

I was a 5 foot 2, 98 pounder at high school graduation. I couldn't keep weight on no matter what i did. Two kids and 30 years later, I was up to 167.

Now I have 3 cups of coffee a day, one hardboiled egg for 10AM break and a Healthy Choice entree for lunch 5 days a week. That's about 450-500 calories. For dinner I can have about 700 calories. I started measuring portions at first; now I can judge pretty much by looking. I drink a lot more water than I used to and drink diet soft drinks. I especially like Wal-Mart's flavored waters--0 calories, some fizz and some taste!

Saturdays I go out to dinner and eat much more than I should. And eat a lot of things I won't eat during the week. I'm much more active on weekends, so I might even stop for a burger.

It took six months to get down to 138. I lost 2 pants sizes and 2 blouse sizes. My bras don't fit and I had to get all new underwear. I'm in a holding pattern right now due to some winter munchies, but I'm grabbing control again so I can drop another 10 to 15 pounds by summer.

I was happy being overweight, but I couldn't tie my shoes or walk up a fight of stairs without puffing. Now it's not a problem.

I went with the Nutrisystem plan.
Started with on Jan 29th at 208.7 pounds, I eat lots and am down to 186.7 as of this morning, so 22 pounds in a month

I really love the food, I am eating better lots more veggies, but it was hard getting used to eating 5 times a day! I had gotten in the habit of only eating dinner . Very bad for the metabolism.... So honestly the first week was a shocker for me LOL I was having a hard time eating all that food!
