One step at a time....

So first, I apologize to any of you that I have on facebook. This is all I talk about lately. lol But it's the only way to make myself stick with it.  

On January 18th I dropped pop completely. I was having the WORST caffeine headaches ever. Yesterday I drank 2 small cups of coffee and a tea. Today I've just had water. So I'm not doing too bad. At least I haven't went back to drinking pop.

Yesterday, I started watching my calorie intake and looking at the nutritional facts on my food. I know, I should have started way before now. But I didn't...which is why I'm in this position.

In a few days (when I get my DVD) I'm going to start the 30 Day Shred. I've done it before and it worked for me....so I'm hoping it will help again.

My weight right now is 195. I'm 4'11".....I'm so fat. My ultimate goal is to lose 70lbs. But I'm giving myself small goals. My first is to get down to the 180's. 10lbs at a time. My goal weight is 125. I would honestly feel comfortable at 140, but I want to get down to 125.

Now I'm rambling. I need a friend.  
If anyone would like to be my "weight loss buddy"....that would be awesome. I have DH for motivation, but he loses weight so quickly. I need someone who has AROUND the same goals as me. lol

My Fitness Pal: Ashley0709 if you want to add me!

What exactly is the 30 day shred? I want and need to lose weight sooo bad. Ideally would like to get rid of 60-70lbs but have no idea how to go about it. Ever since my first son I lost all sense of self control blah. Maybe a buddy would help lol

I *think* I added you haha. As soon as I have this baby I'm back on the mfp train. I lost 20 lbs before i got preg and now I've gained it all back   I know I'm preg and I'm opposed to gain weight. But it's a real blow to my self esteem to see #s I was before I did so awesome. But I am like you. I work in small goals. Idk what my startig weight will be. But I'm having a csection so I won't be working out for awhile. But I'm going back on my strict diet and calorie counting. It might take me awhile to figure out what I need for Bfing.

Im Ashley, I'm 5'1 and 175lbs, and Im trying to lose 60lbs, so Id say around the same goals. =] My DH loses weight mega fast too. I am trying protion control and stuff though, because I tried using My Fitness Pal, and when Id go over I realized I was having anxiety. Ive done the 30DS once before but now Im doing Insanity, and so far Ive lost 2lbs, in 2wks.
I'll be your buddy!

It's a 30 day challenge that Jillian Michaels (from the Biggest Loser) does. There's 3 levels of workouts and you just go about it for the 30 days...beyond if you feel like it. There's a chart floating around the internet somewhere that keeps you on track with it....if you google it, you can see videos of it.

I need a weight loss buddy! I have totally plataeud (sp?) with my weight loss. I want to be down to about 120 so I have about 32lbs left to lose.

That's awesome!
We tried insanity, but we live in a trailer and DH is soooo tall...so he can't do the jumps like he should. lol It's awful. Plus it feels like our floor is gonna fall through when we do it. So we decided to put that off until we move out of this place.  

Ugh I need to be here too. I have had so many emotional things which isn't helping my already solid issues with controlling eating.
Im 195 5'6" and goal is 160 for now. I looked awesome at 163. Ultimately 140-150 is what I want. I have the 30ds somewhere....

I plateaued too! I was at 200 and got down to 190. Stayed there forever and then gained the 5 lbs back in the last month because I've been sick and lazy.

We live in an upstairs apartment, and weve already talked about it with our downstairs neighbors and as long as it isnt too late and theyre kids are up or gone they dont mind. which gives me anywhere from 5a-7p to find a time to do it.
