I've been working on it since mid January. I have lost 8 pounds so far. I would like to lose 20 more. My goal weight is 140, I'm pretty tall (5'9) so I think that is reasonable.
Things I've done so far
-cut out caffiene, more water
-eliminated sugar and starch foods from my diet
-most meals consist of lean white meat and a green veggie
-nothing fried at all
-subsituted snacks with fresh fruits and raw veggies
-more fiber in diet, I'm eating at least one bowl of whole grain oats topped with fruit every day. They really keep me from getting hungry later
I need to
exercise more- It's been snowing here the last week, so I haven't done much activity. Me and DH are gym shopping
-behave better in social settings, this is the worst for me, We go out with friends quite a bit, so temptation is everywhere for me

ohh I am so in. Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time in about 5 months. Such a waste of money these past 5 months so I decided I REALLY need to start going again.
I reallyyyy need to tone my tummy and get in shape by spring break! I have one month to get tone

I was just wondering how everyone is doing?
So far I have not been eating past 7:30, eating 5 small meals a day(following my L.A. Weightloss Diet minus the L.A. Lite bars) and exercizing for the past 4 days. I already managed to lose 3 lbs. I should be going back to see my counselor this week so I can get more bars since I have been out and hopefully lose more weight.

I'm a bit late as well, but would love to be in! I just re-joined weight watchers online. I lost about 25 lbs 2 years ago just doing online, then I moved and had to quit the gym & life just got in the way in general.. but I'm back on plan and weigh myself tomorrow morning to see how I did this past week (my first week back!) I have about 65 lbs to lose. I went to the gym 4 times last week!

Well, I started last week. My bf and I just bought us some bikes. With baby seats on the back. LOL But, we are going to start bike riding. Plus, I have the Billy Blanks Bootcamp which I do. I dont' eat past 7:30 and only drink water. Eat three meals a day. Fruit for snacks or Granola bars. And that's pretty much it for now. Oh, and I stopped eating chocolate. Boo hoo...that's the hard part. I looove chocolate. I need to lose like 15 lbs.

Ugh....my husband sent me 2lbs of Milk Bordeaux (for those that don't know...it's buttercream mixed w/brown sugar center and yummy milk chocolate covering)...it's my fave candy!
I must be strong ladies!
What's worse is he is out of town right now and it's just calling my name!!! Usually he'd eat plenty of it. Ack!
I was good today! Of I always get plenty of water, rode my bike (stable) and lifted some weights. I did ok with food today. Probably had a bit too much sugar but it's going to take time.

Nessa, did we marry the same guy? I got a huge box of Godiva's for V-day, then DH promptly left for a business conferance this morning! I have no one here to help with all this temptation. I ate 2 of them, then put them in the back of my highest cabinet in the kitchen. I'm so annoyed that he got them knowing I was trying to lose weight. I think he secretly likes me chubby.
