can i join???

i have about 120lbs to lose, and would like to to do within 2 years (slow and steady wins the race, and has less saggy skin at the end!!! ha!)

I've been doing well and lost 9lbs over the last 6 weeks, but this is when i need the most motivation to keep going (my diet's typically fizzle out after 2 months!)

Hello, and good luck to both of you!!!!

Welcome, Alyson,  to our inclusive group. Of course you can join. Hopefully we can help keep you motivated way past that 2 month period.

Sarah, in answer to your question, my day physically has not been a good one, but I thank my Father that He gives me the strength to continue.

I'm at 227 (started at 320), looking to get to 140 at some point. 

motivateme, you are doing awesome. Maybe you can motivate us.

Aww, thank you!!

But it's easy to stay motivated here.  There's alot of support and alot of success stories and people struggling with the same issues I am.  

And positive feedback like that always helps tons!!   =)

Hi I'd like to join too please. I'm 5'7"ish and right now am 317 (down from 334) my long term goal right now is to lose like 80lbs by next May. my short term goal is to be 290 by the end of august. eventually I want to get down to like 160- 170 (I know that according to my height and stuff I should be 140-145 but I would be nothing but skin and bones lol) are we supposed to "weigh in" or "check in" every week or is this more casual than that? because there are weeks when I just dont have the time to check in especially in the summer.  

well good luck to all

You did good Sarah. Keep it up. We're all rootin' for ya'.

I would love to join :)

I'm very new to this. I'm still not sure how to go about all this. I've been logging everything the best I can, but I don't know how many calories  I'm supposed to have or not have ... and just what to do.

I'm probably making this more difficult than it needs to be.
Can someone explain a little maybe?


Thanks. :)

Welcome Rach! I would suggest that you go to the calorie-count.com home page, and find the link for calorie-count.com diet. That is a very good place to start. It gives you all kinds of very useful information.

Hi Rach, I agree with pam just keep reading on c-c and youll find the answers for you. I was looking yesterday to see how many calories I should be taking in and found it on c-c you just have to keep looking, if I come across it I will send it your way ok.

Sarah~

Ok, thanks guys. :)

I'll just keep looking around.

Hello everyone. Can I join?? I am 5'3" and currently weigh 287 pounds and according to cc i should be 124 pounds. I WISH! I would be awesome to be that weight. I am also still confused on the calories that i need to burn along with my calories i eat.

Congrats on all you losses!!

Welcome cheeks 18 ,sure ya can join. glad to have ya here! =)

Sarah~

Hello everyone. I hope you have room for one more :)

I started my healthy choices last year with putting down cigs. That was great.. down side was i gained about 50 lbs and i was allready over weight. I joined CC about 3 months ago and was doing great. I fell off the wagon for the last 2 weeks but I am here and ready to get my weighloss grove back on!

So i weighed 263 when i started, 237 when i fell off the wagon.. and this morning the scale read 244.. I might be at a 5lb water gain ate tons of salty things but no matter its still not 263 which is where i started.

I hope everyone found out where the tools are. If not plz post and ill be happy to guide you to them.

Hey guys,
There's another 200+ thread that's very popular already, but I never bother reading it because it's so insanely long! So I'm glad to see a new one that I can post in.

I'm at 252 lbs this morning, down from 275. I've been getting a bunch of compliments lately from my family noticing, and that makes me happy. C-C is the first thing that's every worked for me, so I am definitely sticking with it! I've been on here for just over 3 months as well.

I was on a plateau for nearly a month, but I think I'm getting back on track; I've taken up bike riding after not touching a bike for 8 years or so! It definitely seems to be helping, and I'm enjoying the challenge each day. Congrats to everyone with your losses so far, and keep it up! What are everyone's goals? My current goal is 170.

Hello and welcome josette congrats on putting down the cigs! thats a feet in of itself !!! and congrats on all your weight loss so far, that is awesome!!. I think just about everyone falls of the wagon sometimes and thats what we are here for, to help you get back on track and continue towards your goal and you will, cuz you have us to suppot you!  :)
