end of month one...down 15 lbs

[jajajaja]

Congrats Leigh. We all know how hard weight loss is and 15lbs is wonderful! Wish I could say I have been that successful. I have worked out hard, but I think I could really watch what I eat better. Especially if the 60% 30% 10% ratio is true that your trainer gave you.

COngrats! I am down 11 pounds! YAY!

I got a book that people might find helpful it is called calorie king and it is amazing. It lists the calories in tons of food. Arthur Treacher's seafood sampler has ..... are you sure you are ready for this? 3380 CALORIES in it! Can you believe it?!?!?!

 

ANyway, great little book that will fit in your purse!

 

Keep up the good work!

Amen to the being too skinny after 40! I looked at my 'suggested' weight recently on a website and if I actually weighed that little I'm sure I'd look much older than I really am. I see a lady at my gym who was on WW and is maybe 10 years older than I am and she's lost too much weight, she looks gaunt and ...um.... saggy? I want to lose weight but I fully accept that I am over 40, have had 2 children, and will never be the shape I was at 18 years old.

wow Leigh 15 lbs in one month - that is AMAZING!

i lost 6lbs last month and i now i feel like a total loser

[boscobel]

6 lbs is still great, Alyssa!!! I am only down 3 and still happy about it!

You guys are such an inspiration!!! I need to lose about 7 more to get to where I want to be.

 

But it's those last few pounds that I always struggle with.

 

I would kill for something totally not-healthy right now.
