I'm new here. I was on another site, but it was a bit overwhelming and just didn't quite fit me - I'm hoping this site will be better (thus far it is!) :)

I've lost 50lbs since mid-May and am looking to lose another 40 by the end of February. I've definitely learned to eat healthier, which is a huge part of what helped me lose the 50, and now I need to learn to stick to a regular exercise plan. I'm ready for it, though, and can't wait to be in incredible shape! :D ]]> Welcome all Newbies Amber http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5740-hi-all.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5728-hello.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:04:15 GMT Hello! I'm really excited to be starting to lose weight! I have been actively using internet resources for tips, counting calories, and great supportive communities! I've been using bodybugg for 10 days and I love it!

Im really enthusiastic and hopeful! Looking forward to meeting other ppl like me! ]]> Welcome all Newbies Rachael http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5728-hello.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5698-changing-calorie-goals-site.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:17:18 GMT Didn't see a technical support board, so hopefully I can post this here....

Is there any way to change the number of calories you want as your goal? When I am in my food journal, it's telling me "Aim for -250 to -750 calories per day". What does that mean? My BMR looks right...around 1400 calories...and that's what I want my calorie consumption per day to be. It looks like it's giving me an extra 300 calories though for my lifestyle activity, and I don't really want that. I ONLY want to do 1400 calories per day. Is that possible to change?

Thanks!! ]]> Welcome all Newbies Jo http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5698-changing-calorie-goals-site.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5697-yet-another-newbie.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 04:11:15 GMT Hi guys. I came across this site semi-accidentally. I had been looking at other forums and hadn't really liked many of the layouts but this one seems to be good. Hopefully it'll help. I'm just looking for some support and encouragement on yet another weight loss adventure. This time I'm hoping to stick to it! I have 4 kids that I need to keep up with and want to give them a good example and being 50 lbs overweight is not a good start. Looking for any ideas to keep going with this... ]]> Welcome all Newbies Jennifer http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5697-yet-another-newbie.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5695-hi-texas.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:35:10 GMT Hi I'm Veronica! just wanted to say hello and i found this place while googling "food journal". i hope this will help me somehow! :) ]]> Welcome all Newbies Veronica http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5695-hi-texas.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5693-little-hello.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:05:42 GMT Well...I'm here...that's a step, right?! Anyone have any leftover motivation laying around? I seem to have lost mine. Thanks in advance! I just joined and I'm not even kidding...I need some serious help. My butt just will not cooperate when it comes to getting off the couch and moving. My mouth is just as bad and will not cooperate either...it just wants the "fun" stuff (chocolate, ice cream, etc)...who does he think he IS? And they have been a horrible influence on my thighs because they're not cooperating anymore either...thinking they can look like a jiggly mess whenever they want. Geez!
Can't wait to get these brats walking the straight and narrow! ]]> Welcome all Newbies Jo http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5693-little-hello.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5686-newbie.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 06:14:52 GMT Hi, I just joined this site and am looking for some buddies to help keep me motivated, and for me to help get some others motivated.

I'm ready and motivated to start losing weight again. I'll be blogging and living and dying and running my ass off, literally. I love people and could use some people to help me stay motivated. Thanks in advance :) ]]> Welcome all Newbies Sky http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5672-hey-cowpokes.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5671-just-me.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:19:13 GMT First of all, I'm realistic about my weight loss nowadays. I used to kill myself drinking about a gallon or two of water a day and only eating an apple. With that diet I would walk 1 mile, run 2 miles, and bike about 10miles on a typical day. Still --I remained at about 180. I've grown up since those days though and have new challenges other than I want to feel like I look good.

I'm in college full time and work about 30-35 hrs a week. I know other people have a lot more going on, but all of this plus trying to keep a 4.0 is a daunting task that is beginning to ware on me. Overall I eat pretty healthily my problem is that I don't make time to eat 'till I'm home around 2 or so and then I eat breakfast/lunch in one as well as dinner a few hours later. ...Basically I over-indulge. I have a hard time motivating myself to go out and exercise b/c I don't like others to see me working out. I feel disgusted that I've let myself get this way and that I just can't seem to get a hold on it. I'm great at setting my mind to things & accomplishing them, but for some reason I just can't seem to overcome this huge hurdle in my life.

I would greatly appreciate any help in stopping my over-indulgence as well as some exercises that aren't too difficult to do in a small area. --I still run around quite a bit and my legs are pretty toned, but my stomach is horrible in contrast. I feel like I look like a beach ball on stilts. If I could just get everything to be more proportional and maintain a healthier weight for my height I'd be a happy camper.

Again, suggestions/comments are greatly welcomed! =D
Thanks!

I am Bella, I am 19 years old and I live in Norfolk, UK.
I currently weigh between 146lbs and 141lbs depending what time of the day I weigh myself. I am 5ft4in.

Ok this is why I want to lose weight.
I am not happy with the way I look, none of my old clothes fit me and I have no energy. I know my BMI says I am not overweight but I am not happy and I really want to change that.

My ideal weight is between 108lbs and 115lbs. I know some of you will say that's quite small but it's still within the healthy limit and last time I was truely happy with the way I looked I was about 108lbs. Basically I just want my BMI to be below 20 and I will be happy.

I don't really have a set diet at the moment. I am a vegetarian, however I eat fish as I think it is very good for, esp as I am trying to lose weight. So I am just going to try to not eat fast food, bread, pasta and stuff like that.

My main change will be my activity level. I currently don't do an awful lot. I hate being cold so I don't like going out walking but I guess I am going to have to suck it up and get out there, because I can't afford a gym membership. I do have a Wii with Wii Fit and Wii active, well it's my boyfriends but it lives around here, so I am going to try to use this as much as possible.

My goal is to burn at least 600 calories a day and limit how much I eat to between 1200 and 1400.

I am looking to meet some people who can possibly help to motivate me as I am very lazy and I am willing to admit that. Also people who can swap recipes with me because I love cooking new things =D ]]> Welcome all Newbies Jos http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5666-hi.html http://www.weight-loss-forums.buddyslim.com/welcome-all-newbies/5661-newbie-here-too.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:33:08 GMT Hello all, I am looking forward to making some new friends that are going through the same struggles as I am.
