24 Pounds In 6 Weeks! Yay Me!

Wow, that is wonderful! How are you doing it. I just joined weight watchers and am thrilled to have lost 4 pounds. When I hit 24, I will being to fly. I have a long way to go.

GOOD FOR YOU!! thats fabulous!!! I actually weighed myself this morning on a whime and I'm down 2 lbs BUT I've not been dieting or working out lately...I start up again soon though and hopefully I'll drop the last 20 that I want to get rid of... I had topped out at 206lbs a couple yrs ago which FOR ME is MASSIVE....and I started doing things like cutting out sugars, being more mobile, working out when time, health and whatnot allowed etc and I lost 30 lbs or so in a yrs time which was nice....that was a few yrs ago...now I'm bouncing between 160-165 and am looking to lose another 20lbs or so by tanning season LOL...IF I ever get my b.utt in gear and back on track I'll drop it super quick though so thats good..

That is fantastic - congratulations on your success! Are you following any particular plan? I started a new plan on New Year's Day and have lost 20 pounds so far - with a lot more to go.

Congrats to you on your weight loss. Keep up the good work! I've been dieting and exercising since March, 2008 and have lost 64 pounds to date. I also have been watching what I eat, drinking LOTS of water (which is VERY important) and exercising daily. I am now only 24 pounds away from my goal weight :) My only son is getting married in May and I want to look good in his wedding pictures. That has been an inspiration to me to keep me focused on my weight loss goal. Please know that the more you have to lose the faster it comes off in the beginning. Once you start getting closer to your goal weight the weight loss does slow down. But don't lose heart keep working hard and stay focused and you WILL get to your goal. I just don't want you to be disappointed when the weight loss slows to 1-2 pounds a week. 4 pounds a week is a LOT to lose and that rate may not continue. They say slow weight loss is BEST and healthiest and that people who lose weight slowly are more apt to keep it off rather than those that do the radical weight loss programs and drop the weight very quickly. I wish you all the best on your weight loss journey. Stay focused and NEVER lose sight of your goal. CONGRATS to you again as I know losing weight is hard and should never be considered a minor accomplishment. BE VERY PROUD OF YOUR SUCCESS!! (I am)

That's awesome GOOD FOR YOU. I lost about 9 pounds in 2 month but I don't exercise at all. That's about 1 pound a week. For me that's good course I love to eat junk. I want to loose 10 more pound by April 5th, that's when my dad and Brother come to visit. How many calories do you eat?

When I had my child I was feeling very fat, and decided to loose weight. And as you I staRTED exercising counting callories and in 6 months time I lost around 13kg, i never was that thin in my life. I am still thin now but I am a bit out of exercise since I am getting lazy because of the computer. Keep it up and I assure you that this Summer you will have a figure that you never had before.

Well that is so great I am proud of you.Keep up the good work and you will be down 50lbs before you know it.I have lost 50 lbs before just watching what I ate and cutting out sweets.I havent been dieting these days altough I could probably stand to lose 10 lbs.it is really hard to maintain after you lose though so be cautious.Have a great evening.

Well, congratulations to you. I have seen people trying to lose weight but have not been successful. As you have said, it is not easy. But then of course, determination is the key. I have not reached a point that I became very fat. I am very active since I work with the SWAT unit in our city as a medic, I also do a lot of training for safety since I am a safety instructor. Despite not doing a lot of exercise, I guess my work makes me fit.

you go girl, that's great!!

Congrats !!!!!!! Great job on the weight loss keep up the good work .. my story is too long LOl but I lost 77 lbs worked out at the gym Loved every second of it .. I stopped smoking 3 weeks ago put om a few pounds and now I am getting back on track .. I did the same thing .. and still do .. count calories .. excersize and yes it does pay off .. keeping it off is the trick.. but I am sure you will do it .. I wish you well Hugzsss me

Wow That is great! Congratulations! My story ahs bengoing on for about 3 years. I have lost 105 pounds by using weight watchers. I reached my goal about 6 months ago and now I amjust holding steady which is what I want to do. Isn't it amazing how the whole excercise and eating right routine makes you feel better too? I think back to 3 years ago and I am amazed at how much healthier I am living now and the difference it has made in how I feel. Good Luck and again Congratulations!

That is great to hear! Congratulations! I wish I was that determined. My goal was/is to lose 3.5 lbs every two weeks and I couldn't even do that! I think in the last two weeks I only lost 1 lb. Sad huh! I want to lose it so bad, yet I do nothing about it. I just have days where I am so lazy that I don't want to do anything. Calorie watching, I wouldn't even know where to start with that. I mean really, do you look at the calories on everything you eat and only eat so much? Is it 2,000 your suppose to eat in a day? So if you eat 1,900 by luch time, does that mean you pretty much starve till the next day? I could never count calories. I like food too much. I could work on lowering my helpings, but if it's good I eat becaue I don't like the taste of leftovers. I guess I need to view things differently if I actually wanted the pounds to start coming off.

Well, before I became pregnant I was dieting and exercising. After going to 242 pounds back in 2006 from being pregnant I became dedicated to LOSE THAT WEIGHT! I was very successful and got down to 147 and a size 6. If I could give anyone advice about dieting it would be to watch what you eat and exercise like crazy. Starting out with an exercise program is hard at first, but once you get into the routine you become addicted. Exercise is a great way to get rid of stress instead of eating your way out of it. Joining a gym was what I did and every penny that I spent going to it was well worth all the money! I have done better with this pregnancy about watching my weight and trying to walk. I would do more than walking, but a big belly doesn't help you do much when it comes to pregnancy and exercise. So, it will be back to the losing weight game and I hope to lose down even more than what I had before this baby. Good luck to you on losing the rest of your weight. Do not let anyone talk you out of quiting and if you haven't joined a gym and can afford it I completely recommend it for you. You will love it!

Wow, congratulations! you are great, keep up good work. I really, really, want to lose 20 pound before June because my hubby is having a 30 years high school reunion and the whole class will spend one weekend together. Gosh, I wish I could be like you, can you tell me how you made it?

Good for you! I have always been underweight and trust me...gaining is difficult too. I worked very hard to reach a weight that I could stay stable at and not look entirely anorexic. I could eat anything and just did not gain but if I did not eat enough and lost weight beyond a certain point...I would have to again struggle to get it back up. Kind of backwards ...huh? Well you can imagine my problem when a few years back, I was on some meds. that caused me to gain weight. Initially the doctor told me that I would probably gain a few pounds but chuckled and said....looks like you could use it anyway. Oh I did gain a few pounds. At first I was thrilled! But then....I gained like 40 more. not so thrilled. It took me a very long time to turn my eating habits around...and go the other way! At one point, I weighed as much as I did when I had on of my kids. Like you, I excersised and watched my diet...I walked a lot and drank tons of iced water. It took so so long and then suddenly the pounds started just melting off. Good job!

Good for you, is it because of some Fedex guy ??? lol. Its always a pleasure losing weight and Im sure you are delighted. So am I. I cant stick to diet very rigidly and end up eating sweets. Woe my sweet tooth. I dont exercise too. Just walk to work in the mornings and that too not regularly, depending on my house chores. Keep it up. Good luck always.

lord i wish i could do that. im startign to exercise a lot more... wii fit is great and it is putting me to work... congrasts on your weight loss :)

Yahoo, way to go singlemommy. You have really motivated me to get on the bandwagon. My problem is I don't really drink enough water. If I can get that water intake in and leave the sodas along I could do it. The sodas are my weekness. Keep up the good work. Don't stop and good luck on making it to your goal.

Congratulations, I think you have strong determination. Good luck. Well, for me i am only trying to tone my body, i was so overweight last year 2006 and 2007 but i am back in normal shape now. I just have to tone my body especially my arms because it still look a little bit flabby than the rest of my body parts. Happy mylotting!

Awesome ... Good for you and congrats ... I'm sure as long as you are so encouraged like that the other 25 pounds will be lost very easily. Let us know if you made it. Good luck!!
