I've got about 15-20 lbs I'd like to lose. Anyone want to join me in a challenge to do the same. Let's give ourselves 60 days from today - say April 15, 2008 to do it. We'll share our progress on this site.

If you could share things that make it tough for you to lose weight (stay on a diet) it would be appreciated.

For me boredom is why I tend to over eat.

Thanks

dude, some people say i dont need to loose weight at all, but i feel i do. I want that nice thick, toned, body.

for me, i eat out boredom lol i should try and nap instead or get into a sport or something.

Dude...I'd love too, but I'm already 5'6" and weigh 155lbs. a stiff wind knocks me over.

However I have noticed now that I don't get to workout like I use to, and I'm on a computer all day, drinking massive ammounts of energy drinks keeps the weight off.

I have no idea why I posted that.

me 2 i limit my soda to one a day and i stay true to that.i eat healthy choice its good.on sandwiches i dont do cheese.i do eat a sweet once in a while but only if i like it alot i pass over things that r just there i have to really like it to eat it

hey derek havent seen you for ages..where have you been??? you look fine to me..but i suppose its how you feel eh? im always on a diet i lost 4lb this month, but last month i lost 12lb...but its coming off slowly

way to go - keep it up
took some time off - productivity level was low - too many late nights etc

girl your crazy. according to your pics you are already there, unless they have been photoshopped.....

sounds good to me...just started a diet yesterday and it would be really nice to have a support group of sorts. i guess i overeat out of boredom as well...

I'd be willing started my diet yesterday but I have more weight to lose than you but least I wont feel like I'm alone.

I need to get on a diet too. We should start a group

already then - keep note of this thread - is where we can post support messages etc - perhaps even a log of what we eat - good luck

I lost 2 lbs so far this month. Tho I have lots to lose, I set my goal small. 10 lbs. If I can do that, then I can work on the next goal. Baby steps, I say!

So far today I've had two eggs with salt; two bowls of puff wheat cereal (with sugar and 2% milk) ; a tim horton's coffee (double double) ; a tea (sugar and milk); all that is left for today is supper and a "snack"

ya know, in all seriousness....

I have never felt that over eating is the issue, its what your eating. when I needed to loose weight I pounded energy drinks all day long and ate mainly fruits. but I snacked on fruits all day long.

now that the weight is gone, I am addicted to energy drinks, but I eat 5 to 7 times a day, (Full meals) and I don't gain any weight. and it dosent seem to matter what I eat.

I'm not saying this to brag or anything, I'm just trying to share what I did, maybe it will help, maybe it won't. everyone is diffrent.

I think I'm gonna start the best life diet again. I was doing good for awhile.

The first step is to eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner can be whatever, a snack, drink lots of water and get exercising. Thats it for the first step

When I grow up I wanna be just like Drifters13 (j/k).

But he is right - one should eat a minimum of 5 meals a day or more.

bkfast - had coffee black (no sugar/milk/creamer) and a banana
snack - raisins; small glass of OJ
lunch - tuna fish on a salad; water
snack - popcorn; water
dinner - fish and veggies

I'm not going to list what I eat. Then ya'll would be pissed at me.

Ive already lost 10 pounds this week from being sick...but i "ll join ya..

Thanks

No Problem....
