What are you doing to SLIM DOWN?

Sorry if this has been posted b4. Topics get lost and i never remember what we've already discussed! lol

i'm basically just trying to change my eating habits. no red meat for this entire month (just to see if i can do it) bcuz I LOVE BURGERS!!! but i've been eating veggie or turkey burgers instead and they are GOOD! i'm also trying to eat more organic things, no fast food, less sweets and tons and tons of water which is a huge thing for me since ive always HATED water. i find it easier to drink with a little lemon in it.
also hitting the gym at LEAST 3 times a week doing mostly cardio and a little strength training. hoping to increase the strength training soon.
So far so good. 9 pounds down!

Good job!! Keep it up!

I completely cut soda out of my life lol. Not even diet, because that's not good for you either. I've also been eating more fruits & veggies, and no fast food. If we go out to eat @ a restaurant, I try and get grilled food w/ veggies as opposed to fried food with french fries.

It's hard because I love carbs...but I really do feel better now that I'm eating better.

I also go to the gym 3-4 times a week...mostly cardio, but I also do the ab machines. So far so good...down 15 pounds since the end of Feb.

My motivation is my best friends wedding this June..and then of course my own!

AWESOME JOB LADIES! its so hard!!!!! i love carbs as well and FAST FOOD!!! and SWEETS!!! lol but it feels so good wen people start to notice and say 'hey, u look like ur losing weight' or wen u no longer have to lie down on the bed to button up ur jeans! lol lol

WOW good for you, from last September till now I have lost 12 lbs. I want to loose another 8 before the wedding. So I am sticking to my slimfast and walking about a mile a day. The hardest thing for me and FH is desserts and/or snacks late at night in front of the TV. I feel like every time we sit on the couch at night we need to have something to snack on. It is so bad. So we try to keep busy in the evenings. Our complex that we just moved to in September has a gym. So we are doing that a couple times of week and when we don't feel like going out we do tae bo also. I need to loose 8 and I think FH wants to loose about 15 lbs. WISH US LUCK!

I am back to WW as well. I was discouraged this week because I stepped on the scale this morning, and I hadn't lost anything! I know I was somewhat off yesterday because of the conference, but I have been so much better in my eating habits! I just have to brush it off and not get discouraged.

Don't worry so much about the number on the scale. You can be losing inches without it reflecting in your weight. Also, you can be converting fat to muscle, which is good. Keep it up!!

I doubt it... haven't had time to work out due to tutoring every free moment I have. I even had to stop my ballroom lessons because I need to save $$$$ - Hopefully I'll be able to start walking three miles a day, like I used to when I was on WW before.

But thank you for your kind words of encouragement!

Guys, I used to be VERY heavy and I'll post a before and after picture later... But, anyways- I used to be a size 16 and now I am a 2. In 2005, I started with the cabbage soup diet. You only do this for one week. I have a thyroid problem and the weight would not BUDGE. So, I started this and I lost 10 pounds in one week. The best part is you eat tons of food but it's mainly protein and fruits and veggies. Then, I just stuck to a high protein diet. I swear, the weight just melted right off. In three months, I have lost 25 LBS. It was amazing. I also worked out 5-6 days a week. Now to maintain, I work out 3 times a week and pig out on Saturdays. If I could lose the weight, anyone can. It's just a matter of if you really want to do it. When I was ready to lose, I was fed up with going to stores and not being able to look good in clothes. There usually is a last straw for everyone that gets you motivated.
