I'm glad you joined us!

I had mcdonald's yesterday too! Ugh!!! A good ol' cheeseburger and fries. I'm cracking down! Yesterday was sooooo bad, I ate a bowl of cereal in the morning, some pretzels and a glass of dr pepper as a snack (I crave salty things, I don't like sweets much), pizza rolls and dr pepper for lunch, and a mcdonalds cheeseburger, fries, and a huge dr pepper (not to mention I went to bed like an hour afterwards). Hellllloo! I wonder why I'm complaining about my weight! I should start exercising, too. I'm just not sure who to take with me. I haven't gone to the gym in two years! We have a really nice gym (with free membership might I had) at the college I go to, and I literally live like a mile from campus. I have so much opportunity, and I'm not even using it! I deserved to get fat Laughing I can't even eat cereal twice a day or go hop on an elliptical machine!

What's even worse is I know all about nutrition and effective ways to lose weight and all that, but THIS is how I chose to live! I know I shouldn't be eating meals past 8 o'clock. I know I should never skip breakfast. I know I should drink water and certainly NOT drink three or four sodas a day. I KNOW that eating a limited diet is not the healthiest way to lose weight (and especially not to keep it off)... but here I am.

Alas, I'm going to eat 2 bowls of cereal, 2 snacks, and a salad with chicken and sticks of carrots and celery today if it KILLLLSSS me. I've had enough.

Exclamation Day 4: 121lbs

Oh dear, mcdonalds. There's times when you just crave it even though it's not that nice lol.
I'm doing well so far. I've just had a bagel with turkey and salad it was really nice and I want more lol. I've been to the gym today as well, and spent an hour and a bit there as well as the 15 min walk each way. I've made a list of healthy stuff to eat for this week as well, so I can keep track of it.

My weight at this point is 66kg/145.5lbs

I'm a little late, but yes when i was on it, I gained 30 pounds in a year and half (that's also marriage weight as I got married about the time I started the shot) and most of it was stomach weight (looked about 5months along). I stopped it in Oct of 2003 and by January of 04 I had lost 20 of it (Switched to Yasmine) and Was 5 lbs away from my orginal weight when we deciede to get preggers. I miss the not having to take a pill a day, so if the group works out, let me know I might want to switch back to it if I can control the flux of weight.
Good luck you guys!

Well I'd been doing great all week and lost 2 kgs (3lbs or something) and I've had a fat day today and I've gone right back up to my original weight Sad all because I had an italian meal last night for my friends birthday, even though I ate nothing all day and didn't really have that much at the meal anyway, as I didn't eat even half my meal.
I'm surprised though. I've found that my appetite has gone down quite a lot and I don't feel hungry as much anymore. I can eat tea at 4pm and not be hungry for the rest of the night, which never happened before.

How are you all doing then?

Wait... you're only eating one bowl of cereal a day? That's diagnosable as anorexic hun, be careful and eat more!!

Oh Eiri, haha... no no. We're supposed to eat TWO bowls of cereal, two snacks, and a regular meal. However, I have only been eating one bowl in the morning and then slacking off the rest of the day and filling myself with whatever I happen to have cravings for. Too much corn flakes! Laughing

Thanks for being concerned though. I definitely do not have that problem Very
Happy

Hey all. I'm 5'5, about 8 months ago I was 103 lbs (which on my body frame looked horrible, plus I still didn't have a flat stomach). I was underweight and unhealthy.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about, at that weight I was a 3 or a 4. I am now nearly 120 lbs, and I am a size 5. When I was 12 and 13 I was like a size 3, never been overweight. Never been above average.

Mrs, you just look more of a normal weight now. It doesn't look bad.

Wow.

I think different body frames hold weight differently, though. I've never looked that skinny, even when I weighed ten pounds less than that. I wish I had the balls to post picture that revealing for you girls to see, but I can't bring myself to do it. My arms, legs, and thigs are flabby now, but my stomach is particularly bad. I really do need to lose a few pounds and get myself toned up. I'm embarrassed to even let my husband see/touch me when I'm naked lately. That was the point at which I knew I needed to fix some things.

I'm glad you've put on weight. I'm sure you look healthy now.

I should really stop eating fast food! I have a really good streak and then BAM, I'm getting some curly fries.

Sad

I really am motivated, but this is HARD!

Mayyyyybe if you do I will... but it will really depress me! Laughing Then again, I think depression is probably a pretty decent form of motivation.

That's a little skinnier than I look guys, and depending on her height that could be anywhere from 90-100 lbs. I'm only 100 but then again, I'm 5'3" XD So at 5'5", I'd say those pics are probably around my weight right now.

I was 103. Weighed at the doctors. I always look thinner than I am. I struggle off and on with anorexia.
But yeah I am bony or something. I'm 120 lbs now and look how small my wrists an fingers are:
