Going to lose 100 lbs in 2006
Hi everyone, I'm new here, but my goal is 100 lbs in 2006. I've already done 19 of those, so I know I'm going to make it. Here is my questionnaire. (I think this was a great idea!)
Let's get to know one another! 1. CC board name: TinyTownGoddess 2. Real name: Jean 3. Nickname? Lois 4. Age (only if you want to share) : 40 and proud of it 5. Birthday: March 27 6. Married, Divorced, Single? How long? Married to the same man for 14 years 7. Children and ages: none. 8. Fur babies? Samantha (black cat) and Rosie (toy fox terrier) 9. Where do you live and where have you lived? I live in southern Arkansas. Been in this area most of my life. 10. What kind of work do you do: I'm a freelance computer consultant and web page designer. Mostly I take care of my mother and my husband. 11. Hobbies: I make old fashioned rag dolls, I like to sew, and make all kinds of little crafty things. Getting into making jewelry. 12. Exercise - what kind and how often: Not enough. Walking and weight lifting when I make time. 13. Favorite LC meal: Baked seasoned boneless pork loin chops, with whatever veggies I feel like having, and the ever present salad. 14. Favorite TV show(s):Grey's Anatomy, Animal Cops Houston/Detroit 15. Favorite Movie(s): Pretty Woman 16. Favorite kind of Music:Country 17. Favorite Actor, Actress, Singer Actor:none 18. My weight loss journey info: This is a tough question. I was a "chunky" kid, though in high school I slimmed down to 128, an ideal weight. Spent my entire young life thinking I was fat because my father told me so, early and often. In college, I was a power lifter, and when I quit lifting after an elbow injury, I started gaining. When I married at 26, I weighed 180. When my dad died in 12/04 I weighed 260. January 1 of this year, I weighed 298. I always said if I ever hit 300, you might as well just take me out, tie me to a tree and shoot me. I realized I had to do something. I'd lost 15 lbs on the South Beach last year (put it back on after giving up on the diet after two weeks) and I remembered that it made perfect sense to me. So I bought the book, reread it, and have modified it to suit my needs. I skipped phase one, since I knew it would just make me insane about food, like it did last time. So I started with phase two, more or less. When people ask me what diet I'm on, I say "sort of a modified south beach diet." I gave up Dr. Pepper (a big deal for me). I was drinking at least 2 liters a day of the regular, since I am allergic to aspartame. So I gave that up (was harder than quitting smoking, which I did 3 years ago.) But I did it. I gave up pasta, potatoes, bread, flour, cornmeal and anything made with those things. I have had a couple of meals where I ate something I shouldn't have, probably, but I've lost weight at a steady rate, so I just make myself be more careful the next day. It hasn't been a problem so far. And I'm already down 19 LBS!!!!! 19. How often do you weigh yourself? Every Friday morning, religiously. No more than that. It's discouraging to weigh every day for me. 20. Do you have any mini-goal rewards or anything special planned when you lose all the weight? My mini-goals.... a margarita on the rocks each time I lose 20 lbs. Not on the plan, I know, but it's a GREAT motivator for me. I'm so glad I found this place. I look forward to catching up on all the great posts and meeting the great people here. Thanks for being so nice. Jean |

Favorite Actor, Actress, Singer Actor: 18. My weight loss journey info:gained all of my weight through my pregnancies and blamed the reason I couldn't lose weight on that. After I had my 8-year-old, I lost 40 lbs and I wish to repeat it. I can't say that I really have a problem losing weight, I just have to stop eating like a pig and the weight falls off. My problem is that I can't stop eating like a pig. Every diet that I have tried has left me very very hungry. Hoping this will work out. 19. How often do you weigh yourself? I get on the scale every morning, I know I shouldn't but it renews me when I am dieting, if I see a lb loss over a couple of days, I stick to it, if I see a gain, I work harder to get back. May sound weird, but it has worked out so far. 20. Do you have any mini-goal rewards or anything special planned when you lose all the weight? I am going to buy a whole new wardrobe and take a trip to Boston or NY with my kids. |

CC Board Name: Raevyn70
Real Name: Shelley Nickname: Shell Age: 36 Birthday: June 10, 1970 Married, Single, Divorced? How Long? Married 15 years Children and ages? DS (14), DD (7) Fur babies: Two indoor kitties (Marcus and Sagwa) Where do you live and where have you lived? Oregon...lived in Fair Oaks California for three years...then moved back here to Orygun Exercise: Currently none. Plan on starting back up at the gym next week after I get an eating pattern down this week Favorite LC Meal: roasted chicken, mock mashed potatoes (cauliflower, parmesan cheese and heavy cream whipped up to resemble mashed taters), romaine salad with honey mustard dressing Favorite TV Show(s): CSI Vegas, 24, Keeping up Appearances (British comedy), Most Haunted Favorite Movies: Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory(original), Braveheart, Gladiator, Rob Roy, Lord of the Rings trilogy Favorite kinds of music: Pretty much open to anything but rap. Depends on my mood Favorite Actor, Actress, Singer: No real favorites stand out at the moment My weight loss journey info: I've been fat since I was 10 I think. At least that's when I started realizing that I was bigger than the other girls at school. I've never really done anything about my weight until I was in my late 20's. Probably due to panic about health issues that might surface someday...who knows what took me so long. I found Atkins late in 2001...lost 54 pounds, then stopped what was working for me. I'm back now ready to get off this roller coaster ride and get serious about this weight issue! How often do you weigh yourself? I plan on weighing myself after the two-week induction...then try not to be a slave to the darn thing after that...once a week weigh-in sounds reasonable to me at the moment. Do you have any mini-goal rewards or anything special planned when you lose all the weight? When I lose all the weight, I hope to purchase some Levi 501s and a tank top or possibly a shirt I can tuck in. I might just get a tattoo as well...haven't really thought about that one. My eye is on those 501s! ![]() |
