Ya'll need to try this: When you are having your height measured, stand up as straight and tall as you can- I mean really stretch! Maybe you do this already--but for some reason, I didn't think to do this before. Anyway, it gives me another full inch! This makes a great impact on your BMI. And, the walking twice a day has really made a change for me. I was stuck for three weeks at the same weight, even though I was being very careful about what I ate. Now, I am breaking out of that plateau. Two pounds lighter yesterday, another pound this morning...
Sorry so long, but thought I would share this little tip, I hope it helps someone! Have a great losing day! Make it count!

Good morning! Well, I weighed in this morning, and I'm 2 pounds down! Nice to see a different number, it's been stuck for about 3 or 4 weeks.
Welcome to our thread brenda0704!! Linda, they go purely by your BMI, which could be unfortunate if you happen to be very muscular...I've heard that Arnold Schwartzenegger would be considered "obese" according to his BMI because of muscle mass. Having said that, I can't say that muscle mass is my problem...
Is everyone drinking their water? It is essential!!! Have a great losing day! Let's make it count!

Hi ladies, I would like to join your group if I may. I'm not scheduled yet, due to financial situation, but I'm hoping for about a year from now (I wish sooner). I really need to lose weight, not only for TR but for my health. I haven't really started anything yet, but I think if my info was posted it would give me more reason to work at it. I joined a Prism weight loss group a few years ago and I lost 50 pounds in 5 months. The weekly meetings and weigh-ins every 6 weeks really kept me on track. Then I had to quit because I couldn't afford it any more. I just don't have much success trying to do it on my own.
I know that when I get weighed at the doctor's office it always is at least 5 pounds more than my scale says at home, but for now I will give you my weight from home. I weigh 203 and my BMI is 35.7. I would like to lose at least 20 pounds, hopefully more.
OK, so I have to tell you ladies, this walking is kicking my rump! I have been faithful to walk my 2 miles in the mornings, and have gotten 1 and 1/2 or more each evening. I have not weighed in yet, because I want to give my body a chance to really respond to this...but I can tell you this (((drum roll)))......I am wearing pants today that I have not been able to wear in a while! Yay!!!
If any of you are also walking, wouldn't it be cool if we kept track of the total number of miles we all walk? For example, since I started, I have walked 14.5 miles, and if any of you keep track, you can add that to mine... just an idea.
Keep up the good work girls, we can do this!!

Glad to see the support here. I'll like to be added please. My weight is 222lbs and my BMI is 40.6. I'll post my weight lost next Friday. My weight goal is to loss 37lbs or more. I haven't schedule yet. My DH and I are planning for Aug this year. My DH is my trainer in the gym. lol I think he forget that I'm his wife and one of the guys. Boy am I sore. I told him that I rather take on labor than the workout plan he have me on anyday. LOL!! He does workout with me. To see him workout make me think about the baby dance. LOL!! Sorry, maybe TMI for you. I don't think I could do this without having support in the gym and out. If you can get someone to help push you at the gym and remind you why we are doing this when it gets ruff. I think we'll make it. This is just my opinion. Good luck everyone. I know you can do it.

Hey ladies, I just read in this months issue of Men's Health that drinking 16oz of chilled water when you get up helps a lot in losing fat. It replenishes cells after a night of no water and this also speeds up metabolism. Matt Murphy,ST

I'm stuck, I think it may have something to do with my dr taking me off my metformin to do all my PCOS testing. Now that it's completely out of my system my weight is creeping upwards even though I'm eat healthy etc. I'm still waiting for my results from my glucose tolerance test to find out if I need to go back on the meds. I don't have any weightloss to report right now, but hopefully I'm just in a funk and it will pass.

Shannon!!! It's almost here for you! How exciting! I have 79 days, and still have GOT to lose those 14 pounds...so I made a firm decision that I will walk 2 miles every morning, and try to get in another 2 miles every eveniing. I hate to put the treadmill in the living room, but, that's where we all hang out, so this way I can still be with everyone AND get my exercise in! I got my 2 miles done this morning-so if you have a second to send good thoughts my way, I sure would apprecite it!
I have an appointment with an OB on May 23, and will have the Dr. fill out the weight and height verification form and order my bloodwork...so I really have 2 and a half weeks to try to get my BMI down to pretty close to where it needs to be.
I have friends in a health promotion office, and used their machine last week to check my weight, height and BMI, and it told me my BMI was 34--but I think it measured from where my hair was fluffed up, instead of the top of my head lol...
But it seems like Dr. office scales always weigh you heavier!!! Anyway- this is do or die time for me...wish me luck!
