First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

Hi Girls!

Here is the first WW/Weight Loss post. Every Monday morning I will start a new topic and we can all keep each other accountable!

I will start: i lost 2.5 pounds from last week! I guess getting your wisdom teeth out is a good way to loose weight!

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

Yay, thanks for starting the topic!

Ok so I lost a pound this week, yay! And thats after having a few too many cookies this weekend! (the girl down the hall is a fantastic baker, I think I was losing weight because she was off the island for two weeks!)

My back story:
I'm about 25lbs down from my heaviest (I reached 200 about 3 yrs ago, and even though I'm 5'10, SOMETHING had to change). I'm 20 pounds from when FH first met me, but 12 of those are since I've been gone so I'm super hoping he'll notice, I have less than 3 weeks until I see him again!!

My goal for this week is to stay on target, and keep working out. Today was the first day of Phase II, P90X it totally kicked my *** this morning.

This morning I weighed in and I know my weight. My target wedding weight loss goal is 17 pounds. I'm only 5'2... so for me.. that's a lot. I want to look super cute in the VS 'Just Married' bikini I bought in July! Are we telling each other our weight?

Nah, I just mapped out my milestones from the past not too long to give a frame of reference.

My overall goal is another 15 pounds.

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

That is up to you. Whatever everyone feels comfortable with.

Here is my story:

I am 5'6'. I hit my high of 216 about 4 years ago. That was when I knew I had to do something. I joined WW (for the millionth time) and I got down to 165. In the past year or so I put back 20 of the pounds. In my head I would love to be 150 by my wedding. So I have 33 pounds to go. I know I can do it and I am so glad that we are doing this. I need the motivation.

My goal is to introduce exercise in more than I have in the past. I am going to try to go to my first Zumba class tonight

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

Well.. since we're sharing our life stories!

I'm 5'2, so I'm short and I actually was fine with my weight until I reached 145 lbs and realized that my clothes just kept getting extremely tight. So, about 2 years ago, I got sick of it and went down to about 127. Then... this past december my FH and I planned a cruise together (where we got engaged) and I wanted to be skinny. So, I lost 10 lbs. This summer I gained back almost all of it and I want to finally go down to the 110-115 I always wanted to be. Then.. for the first time ever (I have never been 115), I will look fab in a bikini!

(My cute lil white.. not very forgiving 'Just Married' bikini!!)

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

Ok, here goes:

I'm 5'5 and in 2004, I peaked at 250 lbs. ..I know...
One day in Oct. 2006, after realizing my size (22-24) and after the cream cheese bagel, I decided I needed to do something. I cut out bread, sugar, potatoes and rice for about 2 weeks as an experiment and went down 220 a month later. I brought them back slowly and continued to lose. At Christmas, I was at 200 and by May 2007, I was down to 180. By summer, I was at 168 and very happy being a size 10 for the first time ever. The following summer, 2008, I got pregnant (of course), and gained 30lbs.

I had the baby in March 2009 and checked out of the hospital at 205. I joined WW in Feb 2010, where I weighed in at 208. By May, I was down to 193. I stopped going to WW, but still managed to get down to 187, which is where I am now. It's coming along. My goal is 160 and we'll see where we go from there

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

FH won't let me buy a scale

MrsJPH2012 Posted: Oct 18, 2010 03:44 PM

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

haha because of the money, or because he doesn't want you obsessing!?

Don't worry about it! We have lots of time before the wedding, if you make too many drastic changes at once they'll never stick. Just set some goals and you can tell how your clothes fit on you.

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

Aww yeah... FH hates my scale hes like you're obsessing stop it.. lol

FutureWifey Posted: Oct 18, 2010 04:19 PM

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

My FH says I don't need a scale.. then I catch him jumping on it every time I turn my back!

Re: First 2012 WW/Weight Loss Topic!

About 2 years ago i was 226 lbs. Im 5'5'. I had been heavy forever. I avoided taking pics and avoided going to places bc i couldnt find clothes to fit.

I finally had it. I helped coordinate a ww at work group and lost almost 90 lbs. Im a lifetime member and weigh between 132-136 lbs. Im a size 6. If i wasnt lazy and worked out id easily be a 2-4.

Ww changed my life. Im here as a cheerleader for you girls.
