Club 200 Plus

(edited) ThankYOU!

There we go...

Thanks again, I would have not found that alone!
Clearly not as computer savy as I once believed I was...

Tick away ticker!
 
hey everyone
it's been almost two months since I started to lose weight
I was 280 and now I'm 266!
I can't "weight" until I get to 249, then I'll officially be in the "lower" 200s :)

Same here, I was 285 in January and 263 today. I'm stoked that I'm gonna be in the 50s in the next couple of days.

Tonight, at 29:30 into my 30 minutes on the treadmill, the treadmill stopped working. I'm officially stronger than a machine. This was also the easiest half hour I've ever done. I didn't struggle or have to take a break, although I did stop for a minute to take my shirt off because I felt extra-manly. :willy_nilly:

I also found out last night that I can touch my fingers around my wrists which I haven't been able to do in ages.

Why does weight sneak up on us?! It's like I stepped on the scale and an extra 80 lbs were added!

Yesterday I went to the gym, used the eliptical for 60 min. I will do this again tomorrow, and sunday. Weighing in on Monday.. let's hope there's some improvement.

I have been monitoring my portion size, cutting out fast food, and drinking lots of water and getting cardio in 3 times a week. So far I have lost 17 lbs... but I cant see/feel a difference. It has been about 4 weeks since this lifestyle change.

Any advice or tips? Meal ideas, exercise routine, magic potion.. anything?
Anyone around my weight that can tell me when I should start to notice a change?

I've lost...whatever the heck it says down there, 23 pounds, 75% of that is through diet alone, and I don't feel or look any different, either. It's just so incredibly gradual that it's almost impossible to tell just by looking. But what you're doing is obviously working, just keep at that. I'm pretty sure that's way farther than I got in a month.
 
thanks Survivalism...

How tall are you? I'm 5'9 so it's also hard to notice gainning ( i guess losing too). Thanks for the ecouragement.. I will post my results from this week on Monday, although I have not been following my diet so well this week... I made my son some cupcakes, although vegan and only half the oil they werent part of my original meal plan! What's done is done, tomorrow is a new (healthy eating) day!

Take care all,

H.

I'm 5'9. *a lot of help*

But, at any rate, I think I'm about to enter the 250s any time now, I'm pretty psyched. I only got in half of my normal treadmill time, but I did have full-on guitar practice, which is one hell of a work out in and of itself. I also thought I'd do something nice for the dog and take her for a walk, but she was just completely unappreciative of my efforts. We made it about halfway around the block when she decided she just wasn't going to go any further and entered some sort of lockdown mode in the middle of the street, so I had to turn around. It was nowhere near the intensity of walking I'm used to, but I'm also not fighting an unruly animal when I work out, so the two balanced each other out pretty well. I'm thinking that I should get a pair of rollerblades and just let her pull me around. Some sort of urban dog-skiing.

Yes! Urban dog-skiing and guitar playing would make you a total catch! It's the perfect balance between artistic-sexy-band-guy meets wild -animal-loving-adventure-seeker.

Yeah, I'm pretty great. Except I f-ing somehow gained two pounds yesterday. :cuss:

Without fail, I'll get to a really exciting and then it'll shoot up 2-5 pounds and I have to re-lose that just to get back where I was. Meh, maybe it's muscle.

But, in any event, I'm HIITing tonight. I'll probably be reduced to tears by the time I'm done.
 
Dang, I've been out for awhile here haha.

Welcome to the new thread member! Also, goodjob on all the weight loss guys! :party:

I myself have lost a couple of lbs, I'm almost out of 200 this time hehe.

Goodluck everyone~!
 
I would like to join!

I just started 2 weeks ago at 298. I was almost at the 300lb mark (which scared the living *beep* out of me!).

Here's to a healthier me!
 
Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to the 200 plus club :) I started my life change 2 weeks ago and have lost 7lbs so far, got a long way to go but happy I've started. I'm enjoying eating healthy and working out. At the moment I don't exercise enough I average 30 - 40mins on the treadmill (fast walking/jogging) and 25mins low intensity workout. Hopefully over time I will work my way up to exercising 2+ hrs a day.
 
Hello everyone,
My name is Natalie, but some call me Natsky, and thats the nic I used on my diary.

But I weigh 277.4...

lost to about 269.0, but ended up stopping the walking, because my fiance didn't like to walk, or didnt like me walking ahead of him... lol ...well not funny.. I kind of sacrificed my health, but I am back. He told me it was time I started walking ahead of him. lol Because I explained how the weight gain happened, but not only that. I had just moved to a new city, flat city, which I am living in now, and I was called "fat ass" on the sidewalk and streets. So I started staying inside. So now I have decided to join Curves and start next week. My intro day is next week. Its all women. I am so looking forward to it. Time away from the man and he will enjoy going to karate again. Becoming more independent and enjoying a social atmosphere. I am really proud I have decided to kick myself up into gear. I didn't think I would. I have been so depressed, but I am bound and determined to do this. I want to weigh 165 pounds. I look forward to getting to know everyone on the boards...

Natsky:cheers2:
 
Hello all! I'm back and stuck on a plateau. I'm hoping its just muscle mass building. My DH did comment last night that he could see the muscle around my shoulders now. Yeah! I've been fluctuating between 231 and 229 for 3 weeks now...ugh!! I've been doing the same as far as food goes, and I've stepped up my exercise a little. I just want to be below 200 by June. :banghead:
Welcome all newbies!
 
Been away for a bit, but back now - still well above 200 :( but getting there, I hope! Fantastic, Kevi12, on being so close to leaving us all behind!!!

Know what you mean about flat streets being so good for walking, Natsky -- I'm in a flat city at the moment, and it's so good for walking -- and strength builds up almost without noticing -- last week I walked several miles on hills -- it was an effort, but I kept up with the group -- and no way could I have done that before I got on all the flat city walking! Good luck to you with the kick-into-gear plan!
