I'm noticing results.

I've lost a few inches off my waist and half an inch off my hips. The difference between my waist and hips is about 14 inches now. I've always been curvy like that, but does anyone have any good exercises that targets hips. I really need to lose more around that area. I know you can't spot reduce but I was just wondering what there is.

Nury, your post gives me hope. I mentioned earlier, I gained 55 pounds with Connor. Hardly lost any, and I got pregnant again... kinda soon after. I haven't gained any weight this pregnancy yet, but I have a little less than 9 weeks still to go. I'm hoping I don't gain more than 5 pounds. Less would be great. I have like 65 pounds to lose.... makes me very nervous. I want to fit back into all my olds clothes.

After i had my last baby i was REALLY overweight, i think i gained about 50 pounds or MORE! my clothes didnt even fit, not even in a joke, i went from a size 3 to a size 15, i was HUGE!!!! i couldnt believe it, going from XS to XL, i've been working out for a year now, i stopped for about a month though, so it wasnt that consistent, but during that time i lost about 20 pounds, after that i was stuck at 66 kgs, about (150 pounds) i started working out harder now and for longer and i have lost another 4-5 pounds (2kgs), my goal is 60 kgs, around 120 lbs, but, if i can lose more i will, i STILL dont fit in my skinny clothes, they look TOO tight! im a tight size 7, and a perfect fitting size 9 at the moment, i don't really look fat but im not as skinny as i used to be after having my daughter two years ago. But, i never gave up, and have lost MOST of it, it has taken a lot of effort from me to be able to lose it all, but i don't give up, the image of me being skinny has stuck in my mind and i remember feeling GREAT and looking GREAT so i REALLY want to go back to that, and i know i'll get there, so will you, so cheer up, and don't give up! I know that if you really want it you will lose it.

How did I not know this thread was here? LOL Boy, I'm observant.

Anyway, Congrats to all of you who have lost or are on the road to losing weight. Weight loss is one of the hardest roads that you can ever travel. I lost a total of 52 pounds on Weight Watchers and then gained 18 back. I am back on the program now and have lost, last I checked 6 pounds back off, but it is probably more now. WW has truly changed my life for the better.

You all can do it! I tell myself that everyday. If I can lose 52 pounds, believe me, anyone can. It doesn't matter how much you have to lose or how long it takes to get there, you are taking steps to get healthier and happier and that is the most important thing. You will get there.

on new years of this year i weighed 152 lbs. and i said thats it, it is now march 16 and i am down to 134 ;bs. this is what i did. i ate lean cuisine meals for breakfast with sugar free/decaff coffee, when i get to work i eat a gogurt on my first break, a slim fast on my second break and when i get home i eat a tiny plate of k cereal with skim milk, thats all. i will occassionally have a couple of bites of something that i really love or crave like a burger, pizza whatever, BUT JUST a COUPLE of bites and i savor it like crazy and it actually satisfies me, and believe it or not i do not crave anything, i never feel hungry or dizzy i dont miss the fattening stuff because the fact that i have lost so musch weight encourages me and motivates me to keep going, i also do alot of walking at work now so that also helps. so this is what did it for me, i guess the diet is no more than 1000 to 1300 calories a day. well it worked for me and i'm still losing.

I have noticed that when I stick to my diet I don't crave anything. I can look at a whole pile of donuts in front of me and not even want them. Saying no is so much easier. When I first started WW, I thought I was going to die. I felt like I was STARVING. But now, I'm fine.

It is really important though to not starve yourself. It confuses your body and then you end up gaining weight back in the end.

Alrighty my update:

Week of March 2-8, lost 8 pounds
Week of March 9-15, lost 5 pounds

I found me a new goodie, Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper, the only drawback for me is that it makes me crave chocolate, but it is good and there is no way in hell that's a diet soda. Its getting warm outside here, so my husband is back to using the hell out of the grill, Ive been eating alot of grilled chicken and just sniffing the ribs (I didn't eat any I promise!)

Special K pecan cereal is my best friend, its good and I have used that to replace lunch. So breakfast is a mixed bag, cause I don't care to eat in the morning, lunch is a bowl o special K, and dinner consists of something baked or grilled, I haven't had anything fried in 2 weeks.

Well, not me.... Started out good but this week really sucked..... Went up 3 or 4 pounds by Wednesday and was able to get back to almost even up by today.... I was soooo pissed at myself... Like I wasted weeks worth of work, gone in 3 days... Grrrrr.. Now I really have to watch it these nex 4 days.... business trips are killers... I figure if I wear my tightes corset full time, I may have a shot at not gaining. hahahaha Pluss I brought along my roller hockey skates to try to get in some skating and they have an exersize room....

Congratulations everyone.... You have more will power than I have!! Keep it up!!

Just thought I'd tell ya'll that the body by glamour starts today. It gives you customized workouts and eating plans and by logging your progress you could win prizes. I looked into it after reading labrat81 talking about how easy it was. It's free and totally awesome. I really hope I can stick to this. The workouts don't seem too hard and the food looks really simple to make and yummy.

All you have to do is go to their website and go to the body by glamour. Then you register and put in how much you weigh and how much you want to lose, it basically puts all the info you need to help you get healthy.

I've lost 6lbs so far just by working out and cutting back the alcohol. Hopefully this can help me improve my eating habits. Here's to progress
