Dinah! That was my exact start weight 4 months ago! 186! Now I'm down to 170, so I'll start from there. My target weight is 120, because I'm only 5'2, so I've got a looong way to go! What a great idea, and thanks for giving us all a boost! Good luck to all!

OK - I'm in. Starting weight is 150, target is 125. (I'm a shortie, too!) Sure doesn' t help seeing all the Atkins-South Diet skinny people at the office.

You can do it! If I can do it, you can too!
I went from 287 pounds to 154 pounds. I am currently at 160 pounds (I gained back some) but plan to get to my goal of 130 sometime!

Not a good week. I wasn't feeling well, so I'd literally forget to eat and drink for most of the day. Then in the evening I'd remember and eat everything in sight.
I guess my body thinks I'm in perilous water conditions too, because it's stockpiling.
Maybe next week will be better.

Im in. Good luck to us all. I've never had to lose weight before, so this will be tough for me.
I'm 6 feet, 178. Wow, that hurts to see written down. I've always been 140 to 150 pounds. I want to mainly lose the weight with hopes that it will improve my stomach reflux problem, or whatever it is I get.

Jaynee, just curious. For someone as tall as you are, 178 doesn't sound like so much. Of course, it is so different from person to person.
BTW, have you checked out other contributing factors to the reflux problem?
Anyway, good luck. I saw your previous post (with (nm))about getting motivated to work on goals. You're in a better place than I am because I'm avoiding even thinking directly about my goals!
:-)

Wow. That is great.
How did you accomplish that? And over how long a time period?

I have had a lot of days like thatlately. Really busy, no time for lunch, etc. and then the hunger would pass....until night time.

I am tall, but I have a small frame. My sister is 5"10 and she looks amazing at 180. She also has a bigger frame than me. I on the other hand don't look or feel as good at the weight I am at. I feel best at 150, even at 6 feet tall.
I seem to be getting better, but I am just trying to take one day at a time and not get so down on myself.

I am on the Atkins diet and trying to loose weight. I work out everyday for about 3/4th of an hour. I am loosing size but really it takes such devotion to loose the weight. I have lost 7 lbs. since I started but I guess that's where I am because I haven't lost anymore. I want to be down to 150lbs. I would love to hit the 150's.
Every year I gain about 10 pounds.EVERY YEAR!
So I would like to go down in weight with all this giving up and concentration.
I love food and energy...so I feed both.
I get REAL hungry....
So I am working at the same goal too.I wish us both a lot of luck and I encourage us all in continuing the struggle of the bulge.

Zee, I am trying to cut way down of portion size and I am trying to lift weights every other day. I will try and walk when it gets warmer, but that is about as far as I am willing to take it so far. I may get more motivated come spring time, but I figure that is a start.
I have not lost any weight yet, but I will keep trying.

Okay, I think I am going to start a journal where I write down everything I eat. I have started reading packages for calories and it is not pretty. Once I get an idea of my intake (ugh, I'm scared) I may think twice before eating some of it. I also will have a better idea of when I eat what and where I can cut.
Hopefully,

It takes me at least that long to know whether I am going down or not. I can go up and down 5 pounds a day, so I have to wait a bit longer. Also I have been lifting weights, so I am not going to get to upset if I've put on weight. I am also measuring the size of my hips and waist, etc, so I don't only go by weight alone.

>Ooh! that is a great thing to do. I tried it today and ran out of calories by 4pm.... So I came home and ate tomorrowès allowance!
Kidding aside, it is a smart thing to keep a food diary. It made me realize how many stupid calories I was expending on foods I just wolf down without a thought. At least it will make me a thoughtful eater.

thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. Of course right now I am working on getting all of the junk food out of the house. And I don't mean by throwing it away. :(
