Jessica, that is really sweet. I know I don't NEED to lose weight, but I just know I was smaller before, and I want to be smaller again. I am 5'8 and 145 lbs. I used to be 5'8 and 125 lbs, but I've filled out since then (hips, chest, and I finally grew a butt lol!) I want to be around 135 though. Even a smidge under 140 I'd be happy with. I am worried though that the weight I lose will be chest and butt!

Gayle, I will try to cut down to 1200 calories.

I normally just snack on fruits and veggies during the day. I'm eating my lunch right now and it's just slices of carrots, celery, and a fat-free yogurt. I try to make healthy food for supper, even if it's just swapping things out in normally unhealthy meals lol... last night was tacos but we used extra-lean gound beef, lots of veggies, low-fat sour cream, and whole wheat tortillas. I ate less than I normally do.

No matter what the scale says, I am still feeling healthier than I did before. I think maybe I should stop looking at the scale every day.

I've been stuck for a few days, so I'm drinking more water. I do feel like I'm losing and someone asked me the other day if I had lost weight!!!! Yay....I don't see it yet, but I'm sure glad someone did. I know I'll get over this hurdle, but until then, make sure I drink my water and add some exercise. I finally bought me some new walking shoes so I'm planning on walking....

Good for you Janet. Keep it up.

While you ladies have been losing I have been gaining a few pounds.

I'm afraid I've been gaining too... I'm still doing my workouts every day and feeling great but caring a little less about what the scale says. We were out at a going-away party on the weekend and Scott laughed and told me a group of college guys behind me were checking me out. It boosted the self-confidence a little bit LOL!!!

Finally lost another pound. This one took awhile too, but I'm not going to give up. I'm enjoying feeling "lighter". Now I'm at 242, won't be long (I hope) and I'll break 240.....on my way!
