I lost a pound:)

I am so proud of you!! that is great... keep up the good work... and just keep adding a minute to your walking every day!

Well done that's great! I know from experience just how tough losing weight is, so I admire anyone who sheds a few pounds. I find that my problem regarding shifting my extra weight is not getting enough exercise, I'm just not an athlete..

Well done, it feels great doesn't it? You did well and also remember something else, if you really want something on your "forbidden" list, PLAN for it.. once a week will not do anything to you as long as you get back into it immediately. If you feel deprived it will just depress you and your better lifestyle could end up going down in the long run. A little piece of Angelfood cake will not do anything to your weight loss.. unless you ate all of it and for more than one day :)

Thats great, Icy! I am trying to lose weight too.It's not easy. What kind of diet are you doing? I tried the low carb but it makes me feel bad.

wow...good job icyorchid! I know the feeling when you lose weigh, it's very satisfying!

Congratulations.....I can tell you something that will help you. I just started a diet about 2 weeks ago. I have lost 8 pounds so far. If I work in the morning then I eat a bowl of special k when I get there. I have lunch at my work too. I work at a greek place so there is really nothing too healthy there. So for lunch I normally have a cheeseburger or a sub and subsitute the fries for sauteed veggies. So that cut out my greasy fries and the ketchup that I dip them in. But the catch is beforeI eat I put half my sandwich in a togo box. I take that home for someone else to eat. If i work at night I wake up later so I skip breakfast and just eat half of something at work. i do not really exercise. I learned how to do that souljaboy dance and I do that sometimes, that is a work out. Lol. Hope this helps some.

Congrats! Every pound is something to be proud of.

Congratulations! I am inspired by your post. I have recently joined or enroled in a gym and I'm looking forward to lose some unwanted fats. Basically, I walk about 15 minutes to the gym, cycle 5 minutes, stomach crunch 15 counts, and other leg exercise. I don't use the tread mill because my instructor didn't include that one. I hope to get good results soon like you.

That is greta to hear. I sure wish I could lose some punds also. I try to watch what and how much I eat, but alot of times, it just cannot be helped. I have a bad habit of feeding my nerves alot of times.

Congrats. Well done. I know that it is hard to loose wieght. I have lost 30 lbs myself and it was not easy. I was put on medication for anxiety and didn't help my wieght at all. When I went off of the medication I lost 7 lbs just by going off of it and doing nothing else (like exercising or trying to diet). So when I saw that I had lost 7 lbs I was motivated to try and loose more. So far I have lost a total of 30 but that has been a while ago. I am back to trying to lose some more. I also used to be 120 lbs. I have a treadmill and one thing that really helped me was motivation and to exercise on that treadmill every day or to dance (a fun way to exercise). I am still trying to loose some and it is really hard. I think I need to focus on not so many sweets lol. I overeat, but mostly I am very inactive so it would be a good idea for me to start walking also. CONGRATS TO ICY! lol.

Well done icy, see you can do it. Every little pound or half a pound in the right direction helps. Mine seem to be piling on and on. Oh well, I know I have to go out there and do more exercise, drink and eat less.... but I don't want to be too boring and I like to enjoy myself. Keep it up and keep us updated on how it is going.

Hi icy! Congratulations! You must be very excited about it, just keep it up! Good for you.

good for you! my goal is to gain at least a pound. my doctor say that i'm malnourish. for my age and height, my weight does not correspond with such. before, i used to say i have fast metabolism---yeah right, who am i kidding?! she (my doctor) also made a chart for the ideal diet (food and medicine intake plus exercise) for me... i jokingly said, 'many people want to get thin, why would i want to be fat?' she just grinned and said, 'my dear your body will deteriorate if you don't do the same...ok, that kept me quiet for a while...

great!! if u work harder u will surely lose more...;)
