I've lost 13 pounds!

[curse10]

Woo hoo! 12 more to go!

And I didn't use the stinky Atkins diet! :P

[sus]

1. good for you! how did you do it?

[curse10]

3. switched to diet soda, started making my own lunches instead of

eating out, when I did eat out no desserts or appetizers, smaller portions, and walking to school more :-)

[liberalnurse]

6. School can really put pounds on us.....

No time to prepare meals with any thought......starved by the time we break to eat and it usually is a fat-filled choice.......munching at the computer while conducting endless research.....time seems to fly at warp speed when writing a paper......


You have a great plan outlined! It really just takes a positive attitude and a conscious effort.


Good for you!

8. You must be young? I've been walking 10,000 steps for day and eating

less and healthy. I've gained 2 pounds. :P

[Trajan]

9. I've opened a women-only gym ....

like Curves, but better ...

You need to break through the plateau ...

Start both : 1) South Beach diet 2) strength training

OUR gym costs less than a mcdonalds double cheeseburger ($1) per day ...

11. I'm 25

It took awhile to lose the weight- I was at 150+ in December- so it took me quite a while to lose the 13 pounds. I would fluctuate, have relapses, and never be able to knock it down permanently.

I swear, I thought I'd never be able to do it

2. How did you do it?

and congratulations!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. And you're happy? That's US$ 23.54! I'd be pissed! (nt)

16. Look in the sofa cushions.

Usually you can find it there.

5. Excellent!

I lost about 15 so far in the last 4 weeks. For me, I started walking, went on Weight Watchers, and cut out carbonated beverages. Good work! :toast:

7. Soda is extremely corrosive ...

with a PH from 4 to 3: .. neutral (water) = 7 ... Battery acid = 1

The sugar content of soda ranges from 9.3 (coke classic) to 11.0 tsps (Mountain Dew) ...

Think for a moment about this: ..

Fill your cereal bowl with cereal and milk ...

THEN put: 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 .. 6 .. 7 .. 8 .. 9 .. 10 .....

TEN TEASPOONS OPF SUGAR into your cereal ...

THAT is the average sugar content of ONE 12 ounce soda ....

Drink two sodas ? ...

Three ? ...

Big gulp ? .... 44 ouncer (34.1 tsps of sugar)??? ... two of them (68.2 tsps of sugar)? ... three ? (ONE HUNDRED AND TWO tsps of sugar) ???

geeeez .... we have been poisoning ourselves for YEARS and YEARS with soda ...

Imagine what the insulin spike looks like as that sugar hits our bloodstream ....

No wonder diabetes and obesity is on such a tear through the population as a whole ...

People ? .. DUMP THE SODAS ! ...

Drink club soda with a twisted lemon wedge instead ... Its cool, refreshing .. and HEALTHY ......

[Mr.Green93]

10. and it is not even real sugar

but that vile poisonous corn syrup.

[pagerbear]

12. So say nothing of

...the ill effects of artificial sweeteners!

(I confess--I drink Diet Coke!)

15. You can clean your car batteries with cola

the guy who came to charge my dead battery cleaned the corrosion off it with a can of cola. He said a baking soda and water mix works well too.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Congratulations!

It's a great feeling to drop some tonnage! I know!

[Melsky]

14. That's great

I have lost 10 pounds since april just from walking more and eating less. I have moved to a new city and will not be driving anymore at all, so I'll be getting a lot more exersize that way.

Good luck with the rest of your loss.

[Susang]

17. Congratulations!

I've lost 35 lbs since January, so I know how great it can feel. And I ain't as young as you neither! :P
