Weight Loss, Shaping Up, etc.

Post here if you're currently in the process of shaping your body one way or another.

I'm constantly trying to lose weight, have done so since I was a teenager. In the past year or so, however, I've been quite successful and have lost over 30kg which I'm pretty proud of.

I'm also trying to get into a schedule of regular workout but it doesn't seem to be happening. Now I lost my membership card for the gym and am afraid of the costs. Another excuse. Le sigh.

I share your pain, Kathy....I've lost about 20 pounds since I joined the gym back in January but I'd like to lose at least 25-30 more....its a never ending battle it seems....carbs are evil....that is all

Haha, yeah. Luckily, I'm not doing a special diet that involves avoiding carbs or certain kinds of food. But it's still hard to cut down on the 'bad' stuff.

Once again, I'm thinking about going veggie but it's so hard!

I am veggie but I think that's part of the problem. SInce I don't eat meat I substitute a lot of bready carby stuff...*sigh*...

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't think that'd happen to me. It's mainly candy that kills me. Candy and fast food. And since I'm in Germany and we get exactly ONE veggie 'choice' at every fast food place, the latter problem could be solved by going veggie...

Soda is a biggie for me too...and chad eats exactly one vegetable...potatoes so if I want something else I have to cook extra or waste so much....

Wow, that is...wow! Haha. How can he not love broccoli???

idk but he wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole....

Haha, crazyyyy. God, I'd sell my soul for some broccoli right now!

I love it too

That's because Broccoli is the King of all veggies.

It should be crowned, yessss

Wow Kathy, over 30kg is amazing! Happy for you!
About a year ago I lost around 21kg but when I moved here and closer to everything and I gained about half of it back (like I said on chit chat, I tend to eat for mood swings, which sucks). I've been trying to move a lot more this summer and I've already lost 7kg but I need to lose some more, like at least 10kg. Sigh. I'm just too lazy.

^ Thank you! I'm sure you can do it.

Hopefully I can, cause I've made a decision to wear a short dress when I graduate I haven't worn a dress for idk.. maybe 14 years?

^ Ooohhh, don't I know that feeling?! I only started wearing skirts and dresses again in the past year or so. But it's an awesome feeling.

I lost another 3kg and I'm a liiiittle miffed now because the ring I used to wear on my thumb won't fit there anymore so I have to put it on my ring finger now.

I need to lose some weight by October so that I can fit into a dress for my cousins wedding :/ wish me luck.

^ Good luck <3

Thanks, I also just decided that I'm going to become a surfer chick so I now have a better goal to keep me focused on getting healthy and I'm going to research and find out what muscle groups I should focus on toning and exercises that will help me once I finally get to the ocean to learn to surf. (for those of you that don't already know I live in Kansas which is smack in the middle of the USA)

Yeah, I was kind of wondering where on earth you want to surf...

In the wheat fields of course. With the poison ivy. O.o lol I have a long way to go before I'm fit enough to handle it anyway.

So apparently, I lost 2 more kg even though I've sinned like a mofo lately. Which means my mom's even more on my tail about getting a diabetes check. I can't say I'm exactly bothered by the hella easy weight loss though her horror stories are starting to freak me out...

I'll take some of that magical weight loss please. With all the stress and not having time to grocery shop I gained 30 lbs this summer

Oh no! Poor you!

Yeah, I just need to start eating regularly at certain times again, that way I'm not just eating whatever I can find. I also need to workout regularly. Hopefully this week I'll get better at that.
