I am a new amother.
Pre baby 149
Now 170
I don't know what my goal weight should be. I am 5'4 and have weighed around 150 for as long as I can remember. I guess my goal should be 140.
I gained 8 pounds over pesach. How crazy is that!!!

I started spark people and so far so good.

Sorry I don't have the guts to reveal who I am. Maybe I lose all the extra weight.

It's me again. I keep fluctuating between 166-68. It's so hard to eat right and not big proportions. I can't really stick to sparkpeople.com. If I could I know it would help me.
I wish the weight could just come right off. I think I look good until I see myself in a mirror, so I try to avoid them.

Imhappy!

hey its me - to go from from 206 to 185 in 6weeks is good. It took ur body 9m to put that weight on so give ur body time to lose it. it took me alot longer than I wanted to lose the baby weight, different factors contributed to it, but BH now im only a couple of punds heavier but my son is already 16m old. These last 2 pounds seem the hardest tho.

amother - I use sparkpeople as a guide, I dont think its easy 2 stick to an who has time to keep inputting all they ate into the computer? but it is a good tool an has good advice. Instead of counting calories try an eat a few filling healthy foods that u like evry 3-4 hours which is the eating plan im using at the moment an the change might kick-start the weight loss again cos it sounds like u have reached a plateau (sorry sp?)

life's great -welcome to the board, I hope u meet s/1 with similar goals but even if not we r all here 2 support each other. good luck:)

For all of you struggling with weight loss and can't seem to lose effectively without a struggle, I can wholeheartedly recommend Weight Watchers. It is not a diet. Diets where you must cut out certain foods or whole categories of food are doomed to fail because once you start feeling deprived you get angry and "cheat" and gain weight etc etc. With WW there is no "cheating" or off limits foods. Thus, no guilt. I have been on it since February and as of today have lost 38.8 lb. It is a healthy way to go, a lifestyle change, not a fad diet. My family is eating healthier too. It is worth it. You are worth it.

how's e/1 doing this week?
I didnt lose but didnt gain which is fine by me cos I really wasnt careful with what I ate the last 2 weeks. I was in a dance performance 2day an spent quite alot of time practicing lately so that prob burned a few calories.

Well done cl your doing great!!!
So I've packed in the diet that I was doing it was killing me. She kept changing it and at one stage had me on 600 calories for one day. I was ment to loose 10lbs in 10 days. After that or should we say a day into it I got totally fed up and never went back. Well I know feel better put on 4lbs of it and my bank balance is £76 better off.
I'am now doing the slimmers World Diet with a friend we go for our weigh in on Wednesday mornings. So wish me luck with this one. I desperately need to lose the weight about 6- 8lbs will be great before mid August as I've got two Black Tie weddings.

slimmers world is supposed to be really good. is it similar to weight watchers? I think u could lose 5ibs for sure by the wedding, maybe even more!

hey weight loss buddies. I'm only on imamother for aabout a month so hadnt seen everything thats available, but I love this thread I just finished reading all 5 pages.

anyway abuot myself. I am on startfresh for 8.5 months now and lost 45 pounds B"H. my goal is to loose 70 pound. so another 25 to go...

now the past 6 weeks I am on a serious platau. this whole time I was loosing really nicely, between 1/2 lb. to 3 lb. a week (not including the first week, then I lost 6 lb.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but anyway, so the last 6 weeks I'm up and down between two numbers one week a lb. up the next week down..... it's driving me crazy. its hard to stay strict when this happens. and now that my brother is engaged I want to reach my goal. I have another 3 months to reach it.

anyone had that and passed it... please share advice

esther01- thats amazing, congrats on ur weight loss. I never heard of startfresh. is it a calorie controled diet?
re: plateau - do u excercise? if u dont then taking up some cud push u off the plateau, if u already do then change the excercise / routine an u might see some results. b/c I dont have loads to lose im often in this postion of going up an down between 2ibs for about a month an then suddenly they'll drop off. Good luck n good shabbos.

hey its me - wow! ur nearly there, its been a struggle but when u look in the mirror I bet u think its worth it:)

BG- cant wait 2 see u at the wedding, im sure ur gonna look fantastic!

Has anyone heard of or been on the Fat Flush plan?
I just read the book and it seems very interesting - focusing on the liver and keeping it healthy - as it is the driving force between losing fat...
