Unepuce said:Good for you ChrisK! I know, the new WW program is so easy to follow - and you must love that "all fruit and veggie for 0 points" thing! I think that's what actually kept me motivated - even if my point count is over in the evening, I still have the option for a fruit if I feel like having dessert.
For my part, I also hit my 10% body weight loss, and am closing on 50% of my goal. I'm a bit stalled though, as I am tired (what else is new) and follow the plan on radar. I started training 4 times a week instead of 3 in for the past 4 weeks, so it helps in getting some brownie points (litterally!). I was aiming to hit my 50% end of June, I think I'll revise to mid-July. No too bad, don't you think?
EDK said:I know i'm poorly over weight, I lost my father recently 2yrs ago to a massive heartattack, alot of it was prone to him being over weight. I'm not obesse, but i am a chunk and my goal is to lose 50lbs or more. However it's hard for me to break habits, i hate to exercise but I strongly believe its my diet that's the cause for my size. Reason why I think this way is because I did once loose weight when i was 18yrs, but for several factors i was stressed, and it wasn't weight loss in a good way. I drank 3liters or more of water a day, and would eat one meal, small one. Oh yes I shed the pounds alright, but I wasn't getting nutrition, and my hair suffered for that. So I got over my stress, went back to eating, however apparently my diet isn't that good it appears. I dn't eat alot of junk food, ya I do eat meat, mostly chicken, white rice, carbs mash potatoes, but i eat plenty of veggies. I'm a sugar fanatic, i love soda and coffee, i know sugar is a big issue for me. But i've given up soda before I believe I can do it again with the right motivation.
Motivation here...and I have plenty of it, but it never seems to be enough, I'm engaged and I want to look good on my wedding day, and I lost my dad from being over weight. What more motivation do i need? But it's not easy, and honestly I wish I knew where to start for myself on proper guidelines to losing weight. I do know me and my future hubby made a promise to each other, to watch our weight together, and take a walk every evening for 30mins a day to stay healthy. He's very horrible with eating his veggies, I have no idea how im going to address that. And I figured if we're buying our own groceries, it will be easier to monitor myself because I know the fruits and veggies I love, and I tend to avoid steak unless on special occassions, and keep to light meats such as chicken or fish. Still though, where do I start when im currently am over weight...

And don't forget that you already are beautiful. Just the way you are..
