I wanted to start this thread because I know there are several of us trying to lose a few extra pounds. I thought we could all work to motivate each other, share some success stories, and share some secrets. What do you think??
My goal is to weight 125. I am currently at 145. So 20 lbs for me would be GREAT!!!! I lose a pound here and there...I was at 155 so I have lost 10 lbs in the last 8 months LOL well...that is without really trying. so I know if I actually put some effort into it, I can reach my goal. I still weigh more than I did 9 months pregnant. so that's not cool
I am not looking to get to my "pre-pregnancy" weight of 115, but would like to at least be in the range of the "height and weight chart" right now, I am 10 lbs out of it LOL
ok...so what I am doing...I am walking a lot. drinking a LOT of water. I am trying to drink at least half of my body weight in ounces. example: i weigh 145, half of my body weight is approx 72, so I need to drink at least 72 ounces of water per day. They say this will help you lose weight faster. I am also cutting out a lot of my sugars. not all of them...but most of them. I am not eating sweets, not drinking soft drinks or sweet tea, etc. I think just cutting out the soft drinks and sweet tea will help me lose a good amount. I am a sucker for some "ghetto tea". LOL
so...if you are trying to lose weight...or if you know of some tips or ideas that might help some of us other "losers" out there
(said in a funny way, because we are "losing" weight LOL) PLEASE share!!
The goal here is to inspire each other and keep each other going in the right direction. So please join in
