I have been on a weight loss programme since January this year. I am just wanting to share that at my weigh-in last night, I celebrated a 33lb loss to date. Losing weight has changed my life completely. (even though I was only overweight for 3 years). I have another 11 or so pounds to go to reach goal weight though I would like to lose another 11 or so after that to get to the size I always was.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my achievement. I am feeling so happy about it!

Congratulations,

I know how hard weight issues are....in either direction. I know I went from unhealthy too low to unhealthy too high. I was so sick, & in pain, I wasn't moving, so the weight finally came back too much. When they finally found a med that worked on the pain, I could finally ride my horses again & just get out of bed. That was when I started to loose all the extra weight that I had gained. I went from that back to too much weight loss however.....stress is my trigger since I don't eat shen I am stressed because I feel so sick to my stomach all the time.

Having gained that too much weight, then going down to too little again, all my skin just sagged all over my body & my arms. At 55, I looked like someone at an unhealthy 100....looked like I was dying.

It's wonderful that you have a weigt you are aiming for & doing the weight loss slowly......attacking your issue the way you have is wonderful & you deserve much congratulations.

Take care & keep up the good work,
Debbie

Really glad to hear that.
The real positive effect not only happens physically but also psychologically,right?

Awesome! Congrats to you!

I want to loose weight and I've been trying (not trying very hard). I'm 14 lbs heavier then i was last year. (I was in a car accident and had a health issue that kept me working out.) I really want to get this weight off by the end of next year, which is when i would like to start trying for a baby.

I'm REALLY concerned about loosing baby weight. It seems a lot of women have a hard time getting the weight off. Can anyone offer advice? Also, do your pre-pregnant clothes fit you the same way once you loose the baby weight?

Thank you Behindthemoon and Katy

Katy, why don't you start your own thread for advice? I am sure you will receive a lot more responses to your questions than here on my thread where some folk might not visit as they think you're replying to my original post, which of course you kindly did. Good luck!
