Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

Original post by kfizz

As promised here goes week 1 of our weight loss club

Losing weight can be difficult and stressful but it helps to write down in the beginning of a journey why we want something and what we are willing to do to accomplish it.

Let us know 2 reasons why you want to loose weight (besides the wedding!) AND 2 things you are willing to do to achieve your goal.

((For me:
I want to loose the weight because 1. I feel much more confident when I am at my goal weight and 2. being in a bathing suit for most of the honeymoon!

I am willing to 1. stop snacking late at night and 2. I will wake up earlier so that I can have a more balanced breakfast. ))

Motivation for the week: 'Instead of giving reasons why I can't, I give reasons why I can'


EDITED- the formula was crappy... At work I have a scale that calculate BMR for me so I never need to do the math. I will try and find a better way to calculate it ladies- sorry for the issue!!

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

YAY, thank you so much for starting this!!

Right now I am a big 270lbs and a size 20 in clothes.
For the wedding and even after, I would love to be back at a size 12 [which I was in high school] I actually saved one pair of pants and my favorite shirt as an incentive to get back into.

The first reason I want to loose weight is because I just recently went to my gynocologist and she told me if I don't loose about 50lbs, I will not be able to get pregnant or have a safe child birth! THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME because we want to try for a honeymoon baby, but if it's not safe, then I can't.

The second reason is to feel more confident in my skin and not change my outfit 5 times before I go out of the house because I don't feel comfortable in anything I wear.

I am willing to cut out (1) all sugar candies and only drink water, (2) no more soda & juices!

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

I was doing weight watchers for a few months religiously but then got lazy and stopped going to meetings and counting points as much. Wasn't coming off as fast as I wanted it to and got frustrated. I lost about 11 lbs on weight watchers in 3 months, I also wasn't exercising. SOO now I want to lose more and get into a better routine and back on the WW band wagon!!

Let us know 2 reasons why you want to lose weight (besides the wedding!)

1. I want to have more engery
2. I want to be a size 12 again (currently a 16/18) and fit into cute clothes again. I also want to not have a spare tire around my waste.


And 2 things you are willing to do to achieve your goal.

1. go to the gym!! I started going again tonight and walked 2 miles and did some leg weights. I plan on slowly increasing. My goal for this week is to get to the gym 4 times. Next week I would like to get to the gym 4 tiems adn the week after 5 times. and maintain 5 times a week.
2. I will start counting my points again and start attending meetings again once I lose the 5lbs that I re-gained.

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

I already started my weightloss journey-

2 reasons:

1- I feel better at my ideal weight. not just the way I look but also the way I feel. Healthier and happier!

2- Of course the bathing suit for the honeymoon!!

2 things I will give up

Wine!!!- Alcohol really can cramp a diet. No bueno!!!

Waking up early for breakfast. One thing I have learned is if I dont start off the day with a good breakfast I don't eat as well the rest of the day!!!

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

thanks for setting this up!!!

Let us know 2 reasons why you want to lose weight (besides the wedding!)

1. I want to look in the mirror and finally be happy!
2. Just to be healthier in general

And 2 things you are willing to do to achieve your goal.

1. Don't whine like a baby to FH when he tells me no dessert (so that means significantly cutting down on my sweets)
2. Attempt to go to sleep earlier so that I can wake up earlier to go to the gym rather than just going to the basement - this way I can have a more diverse workout

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

I want to lose weight because-

1) I did it 34 years ago and lost about 50lbs and I felt terrific and looked great in pictures so I want to look that way again.
2) to look good for my honeymoon

How I plan to do it:

1) eat healthier and try to follow WW again
2) exercise between 30-60 minutes everyday

Re: Weight Loss Club Monday Meeting #1

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!





I want to loose the weight because

1. When I met FH I was 112 and I'm diabetic. When my weight is controlled, my sugars are wonderful, and I feel confident and comfortable in my skin. The last 4 years I've been under so much stress and gained. Now I'm 133 and my sugars are A MESS. So that's the # 1!

2. I wanna look good in a bathingsuit for my honeymoon!!!!!!

I am willing to:

1. be DEDICATED to my workouts!!!!

2. Eat 3 meals a day with healthy snacks
