I need inspiration... a cheerleader... whatever, come help me!

BigBravesGirl · 08-17-2006, 10:13 AM

I have well over 100 lbs to lose. I think I've finally got my act together. I'm going to lose AT LEAST 100 lbs before my 40th birthday in 2008 (yeah, I've got two years, but what better time to start than now).

trans4mation2005 · 08-20-2006, 12:20 PM

I see that you started on Aug 17th... I got serious about losing again on that date.. was 361 once ..lost 88.. and gained back a bunch.. was 326 on the 17th.. had chest pains on Thursday.. and started back on seriously..

I hope you have been at it for the past 3 days.. just 1 day at a time...by 40 you want to be much lighter before your health deteriorates..I have been reading about the life expectancy of people over 200/250/300/350/400.. and the news is not too good the higher you go.. I wish I had read that before I needed a pacemaker @ 29 yo..

but then again.. I have made little progress in last 3 years also..so who knows... but I know staying at this weight leads to bad things.. so.. without the "cheer".. do this for yourself, your health, and your family

I await great updates

cindysandia · 08-20-2006, 10:47 PM

I need over 100lbs to lose too....in 2008 I'll be 35...so that'll be a good age to aim at...mid 30s....So if you need a cheerleader ....maybe we can help eachother...What plan are you using? Im thinking of starting out with atkins....When did you start...Hopefully I will start tomorrow....keep us posted..

Everyone staying on plan? It's getting too quiet in here...

justinsgrl22 · 09-09-2006, 03:37 PM

I just started on Atkins 2 weeks ago but I like the 35 pounds by the end of 2006 (or more!) idea!!! I would love to be a cheerleader and have people cheering for me...

I haven't weighed again since I started cause I need to see bigger numbers to be encouraged...plus I have been delivered from bondage to the scale....

I'm going to weigh at the end of October when I go to the dr. again..BUT I have been staying on plan, exercising faithfully and my clothes are getting looser!

I think you guys are awesome....you give me hope that this 35 year old battle with weight can be won! Let's do it!!!

For the first time since I was 10 I'm not scared of the upcoming holiday season! WHOO HOO!!!
