BP.Net Weightloss CHALLENGE

[Stewart_Reptiles]

Believe me, if I start seeing spine, I'll stop I have never been a "healthy" weight for my height--my entire life. It's not really the number that's so important to me, I just want to feel like I've got a healthy body. I'm just too heavy right now, in my opinion. I have no idea what I'll look like at 150, or 140. I really just will have to take it as I go.

My goal isn't super-model scary thin. I just want to look and feel fit.

I have been in your shoes, I was overweight most of my life, never managed to drop the weight no matter what I did , and I finally I did and I give the credit to my hubby that loved me for who I was and his love and me being happy in combination with a healthy diet did the trick I never felt better, I did not do this for anyone I did it for me.

So if your weight is not where you want it to be then do what you want to do, and what will make you happy, and you are right take it as it goes you might feel fine at 150 or 140 as long as you are healthy this is all that matter.

Good luck.

I'll try...

I'm 4'7 and weigh somewhere between 160 and 170 lbs. (I don't have a scale, lol, so I dont' know for sure.) Two years ago I was at 100lbs and fine. I figure that's slightly drastic, so I'll shoot between 110 and 120.

I just started going back to the gym this evening. So I need to keep to my routine and cut my portion size down....

But I'll give it a shot with you all.

I guess we could post weekly updates here, about how many times we've gotten some exercise/if we've met other goals and general encouragement. If we end up being the only two, we could take it to e-mail if you'd prefer it.

Heh, I definitely don't think you are crazy, I know exactly how you feel.

Weekly updates are definitely a great idea, it helps to be held accountable for our workout/eating habits.
I'm tired of being stuck in this rut and ready to get this whole weight loss thing over and done with!

I want to just stay where I am. I'm 5'3-ish and around 130. But a lot of it is the muscles in my legs.. the only thing I would change about myself is my little belly; it makes my jeans feel pretty tight (but I do not go around wearing short tees and letting my belly chub show, lol.)
I always gain weight in wintertime; I am much more active outdoors in the spring/summer/fall.. I would like to lose the weight in my belly.

I wasn't in on that chat but I have just started a weight thing myself. Not really a weight thing really, but a 'go to the gym more' thing ^_^ I was SO active in high school and now that I'm in college I have slacked off on all the activities b/c of my crazy time consuming major. All I'm aiming for right now is to go to the gym 3 times a week at least. I was on the rowing team, but the 6 am pratices were getting to me and I was sleeping thru class *oops* haha But eventually I am going to get back to that schedual so I can row again. I'm about 5' 6'' and somewhere around 130-140 or something. It's been so long since I have been on a scale I couldn't say for sure. I don't really go by the number, but by how I think my body looks. When I was running track and playing soccer I was about 145 but it was solid muscle so I was fine with that! haha I'm about the same now, minus all the muscle Anyways, I'm up for it as well ^_^

hey it takes a lot of work to keep my nicely rounded figure! hahahahahaha but, for the sake of my heart and other internal organs, i've started eating better and doing a 1 hour core workout. what i love about it is you don't need much space to get 'er done. no time spent on the floor and you get a great cardio workout while burning the fat.

i'd love to loose some of my fluffiness

I have to say I'm EXTREMELY impressed with everyone's willingness to announce their weights. I'm just not that comfortable discussing my weight. I was in on that chat, and I've managed to drop about 10 pounds since January. I would still like to lose about 15-20 more, but I have a thyriod issue that makes weight loss difficult. I also suck at dieting. I have no will power and just can't resist foods when I'm craving them. I'd be happy to join in, although weekly weightloss is not very likely in my case. I'm happy if I can lose a couple pounds every month.
