Weigh in!!

**QJackson85** · February 23rd, 2010, 11:34 AM

So I just came back from my first weigh in with the doctors... So its four weeks later and I am down 28 pounds according to the doctors scale. Not bad!!! My scale here at home has a 1 lb difference w. my clothes on LOL. Because every morning I weigh with my clothes off my total is 30 because I'm 287lbs in my birthday suit. But I'm still happy with the doctors number

). I'm doing completely awesome I'd say. She said she expects a 9lb loss for next time. Its pretty cool she was the same weigh as me when she started losing weight 317 and now she is very tiny. Only difference is shes 5'5" and I'm 5'11".

She also just told me to continue drinking my water and walking. To move my arms and shake my booty when I walk. GOOO MEEEEE. Well talk to you all soon. Love ya and STAY STRONG we can and will do this!!

So here's to losing 9 by March 23rd...

I basically eat whatever I feel like... Just watch my proportions. I kinda use weight watchers. But lately my new best friend has be myfitnesspal.com. Its awesome I just let it count my calories and I work out also. Like I purchased a treadmill and I have been walking for 60 mins going 4 1/2 miles.

lol@ your TMI - I hate that dreaded TOM! I'm dealing with her visit this week, and I have vowed to stay away from a scale (and do my best to stay away from bad food) until the end of the week!

BTW - 28lbs lost is a fabulous accomplishment! You and I are around the same weight/goal. Girl you made my day!

**lcarter01** · February 24th, 2010, 02:36 PM

@ qJackson and amber alicia__Yea me too you guys are kicking my butt though.... I think my problem is that I am not eating enough. I just dont know how to eat just anything in moderation (I guess thats why Im aso big) I was doing that mayo diet which is basicly no carbs but thats hard cause I love bread. I am so discouraged I dont know what the hell to eat....

I know it ****s so much... I am really thinking about not going to work today. But I feel bad... I just got off the treadmill for an hour... So I'm thinking like if I'm in so much pain how could I go on the treadmill and not to work lol. But when I was on the treadmill I felt GREAT... NO PAIN. Now... GRRR. Havent seen this since October now o so conveniently here she is and I have my yearly on Monday (that I waited three months for) and now this...

But thats girl... And yes our weight and goals are so close. Were in this together. Stay away from those sweet and the scale lol. I got on this morning and it said 285 so we'll see lol.

Don't worry I'll help you out!!! You have to eat or your body will go into starvation mode. Go to myfitnesspal.com and make a profile... It'll tell you how many calories you should eat and burn according to how much you want to lose every week. You need to drink lots of water and exercise at least 30 mins. WALK thats all I have been doing. Eat things you like but proportion it... Bread is to my weakness but I have managed to stay away from it... I only eat double fiber by natures own. Your going to do it... and were not kickinh your butt were kicking this weights butt lol. Just stay strong love don't give up. If you have questions or need someone to talk to when you down just PM me... I'll always been here for all of you. I have to get ready for work now but... Anything you write me will go to my phone so I'll reply

Congrats on the excellent weight loss....28 lbs!!!!

. You are doing it...Keep up the good work and it only gets better from here.

LOL...I know how you feel about that difference in weight between your scale and the dr.'s office. I would just chalk that 1-2 lb diff. to clothes and just natural body weight flux from eating, breathing and etc.

You'll be less than 280 by March 23rd, if you keep up these good practices. I'm putting my vote in for between 268-272 at your next weigh in.

Again...Keep up the excellent work fellow Georgian.

**Mrsace13** · February 26th, 2010, 10:14 AM

I was excited to lose 12 my first month...28 WOW!!!! That is super great!!!

Maybe try Weight Watchers. That way you have the points to kind of keep you knowing where you are at for the day, and how much of something to eat. I know when I was on it my whole mindset changed. I would be like yeah the muffin looks really good but is it worth the 7 points, and I would think of how much more of the healthier lower points stuff I could eat for 7 points of my day. Just a suggestion
