Wow - everyone is doing really good! Keep it up!!
Starting March 30 of this year, my doctor wrote an order for me to have nutrition education with Registered Dietician. She has helped me so much! I weigh-in once a month with her. The scale used in a clinic at the hospital there is the same one always used, and is the one I officially go by.
Below is my progress:
Jan 2011 260 lbs (118.18 kg) - Before Dietican and highest weight EVER!
Mar 30, 11 253 lbs (115 kg)
May 3, 11 241.8 lbs (109.45 kg)
June 7, 11 228.6 lbs (103.90 kg)
July 8, 11 220.3 lbs (100.13 kg)
Aug 16, 11 211.8 lbs (96.27 kg)
Sept 3, 11 ??? lbs (???kg)
Since Jan of this year, I have lost 48.2 lbs (21.90 kg).
Since I started seeing dietician, I have lost 41.2 lbs (18.72 kg)
I have arranged my goals such as:
First goal weight is 200 pounds (90 kg) Almost here!!!
Second goal weight is 175 (79 kg)
Third goal weight is 150 (68 kg)
After that, I will evaluate how my body is doing with maintaining and if doing well, I want to shoot for 135 (61 kg) to 125 (56 kg) to 120 (54 kg)
I am 5'4" 1/2 (64.5 cm) in height

My goal this month is to get a BMI = 25 (meaning 150 lb)
August 1: .........158 lb (BMI= 26.3)
August 8: ......... 157.2 lb
August 15: .......156.5 lb (BMI= 25.8) Not a very good week, I suspect I had some kink of water retention.
August 22: ....... 153.4 (BMI= 25.5) 3.4lb to lose in one week to reach my goal seems a lot , but I will be very close
August 29: .......
I started my diet journey on June 25th at 169 lb. My final goal is 128lb and a BMI of 21.3 by March 2012.

Cool - we are the same height and have similar goals! What are you doing to lose the weight?
Hi ijustwannabefit!
Thanks for reading and responding to my post.
As I said in post, I do see a registerd dietician and she designed a eating plan for me.
I have had alot of success with eating no more that 3, (at most 4) carbohydrate choices a meal. 9-12 carb choices a day. I stay on the low end (try too)
15 grams of carbohydrate= 1 carbohydrate choice.
Sometimes I switch it up:
2 choices for breakfat
3 for lunch
4 for dinner
Remember, the more carbsohydrates you eat at a meal (especially the bad ones without fiber), the more insulin your body will produce and occurs as a fast surge!
The high surge in insulin, not only lowers that blood suger so you feel hungry again soon, it also helps store all those excess carbohydraytes as fat!
High fiber foods works in our favor to help with this. Fiber slows the digestion process, and the rapid, large surge of insulin does not occur as severe! This is just one of the benefits of fiber!!
Carbs are vital to the human body. It is the fuel that the cental nervous system uses for energy! We need them, but they must also be consumed responsibly!
This is what works for me.
Please keep in mind, I will share what works for me, but I am not telling anyone they should do the same as me. Individuals need to talk to a professional who have the proper education in nutririon and human body physiology (doctors, registered dieticians). Remember, there are health conditions that must be considered too when weight-loss counceling is sought!
I do understand the purpose of this forum is to recieve and give support. Weight control and exercise are challanging areas. More so for some people than others.
Thanks and take care

Hi everyone
I'm new here and I was wondering if it was possible to join the challenge. I know August is almost over but I´ve been trying to lose weight for quite a long time and I'm finding it excessively hard! I could really use some help, especially from people who understand what it is like...
I weigh 129.6 kilos, I would calculate that in pounds but it's more than twice that number... I feel so ashamed about my weight and the way I look that every time I think about it I feel like crying.
I have no support whatsoever at home so I´m on my own. The moment my family noticies I´m eating healthy food lots of unhealthy food appear (chocolate, pastery, bread and so on). So, It's quite hard for me to rely on my will power, if I could do that, I would already be slim.. :/
So, I mainly need support. Is it alright if I join you?
