Stats:
CW - 180

Height- 5'7"

I've had weight problems since I was little, so any tips from you guys would be lovely. (Besides diet and exercise, which I'm doing)

Thanks!

I'm the moderator for this community. I've taken a few members out who I don't feel should be here. I haven't been around the past few months because I'm 5 months pregnant and can't lose weight at the moment!

If you see anyone who you feel shouldn't be in this community please bring it to my attention.

Thanks!

Newbie!

Well just joined a couple hours ago and figured I'd jump in and introduce myself.

Name: Jesmina/Jessa/Jess
Age: 19
CH: 5'3"
CW: 165 lbs
HW: 172 lbs
LW: 110 lbs
GW1: 140 lbs
GW2: 125 lbs
GW3: 110 lbs

I can't remember the last time I was even under 150 so this is going to be a challenge!!! But I know I need to do it to get healthy again. I'm so tired of putting on my clothes and finding that they don't fit, being afraid of going anywhere that requires skimpy clothing, like clubs, even though I LOVE dancing!!! I want to feel sexy for my boyfriend and pretty when I look in the mirror. I want to be able to take a jog when I'm stressed instead of just eating more!!

So drop me a line and I hope to talk to you all soon!

Hello all u beautiful ppl.....

i am a new member here.. i orginally joined the proana group, but havent yet been accepted ( probably because i am such a FATASS!) and i decided not to live in denail and join this group whcih is actually were i am supposed to be. here are my sad sad sad stats!

Height: 5'7"
CW: 240 ( ish)
GW: 99 --> they damn sexiest weight on the face of the earth!!!

hola

2008-02-12T03:09:27Z

I'm brand new, just joined.
This is the perfect community for me, and to find it tonight was pretty excellent as tonight is the night I have decided to make my Big Change.
I've been maintaining a weight in the 180's for the most part for a very long time, and I am done with that. I'm sick of it.
Today I went out and bought a planner and filled out the foods I'm not allowed, the foods I am allowed, and listed each weigh-in day and my goal for that day. I'm starting this off with a four day cleansing fast, during which I'll be taking a pretty huge amount of vitamins and drinking lots of water and white/green tea with splenda (heaven in a cup).
Next week will begin the healthy regime. I'm cutting out things like soda, fast food, sugars, baked goods, all those awful little demons. In the back of my planner I have a list of bad foods and good foods, snacks that are below 100 calories, negative calorie foods, healthy snack combinations so I can have a little fun with meal-planning, and tips and tricks to keep myself distracted from the enticing call of the kitchen.
My stats are as follows:
CW: 185
HW: 198
LW: 175
STGW1: March 7th--171
STGW2: April 4th--160
STGW3: May 2nd--145
LTGW: May 26--135
May 26 is my birthday, and I'd like to lose 50 pounds by then.
I don't want to get into any of my old bad habits like binging and purging or severly restricting. My best friend is a (mostly) recovered anorexic and she's basically my guru on this weight-loss journey, because she knows all the good stuff and the bad stuff and she's one hundred percent behind me. I'm purging my house of all the junk food that I can and giving it to my boyfriend, who just recently got a new apartment and is quite lacking in groceries.
I'm going shopping with my grandmother next week, after the fast, to get the healthiest food possible.
All the support I can get I will greatly appreciate, and anyone that might want to join me, the more the merrier. I'll be happy to send you a more detailed idea of the diet plan, and it would be great to have someone to check in with.
I'm very excited to be a part of this group.
:)

This is Goodbye...

Hello everyone,
I am leaving the community. No, I haven't reached my goal weight, but this community has become something it wasn't when it started.
I was under the impression that I had joined a HEALTHY weight loss group. Now the only posts are concerning starving yourselves or finding some unhealthy way to purge what you have eaten. The reason I joined 50lbstogo was because it wasnt the same as every other weight loss group on LJ. But sadly, I was mistaken.
The straw that broke the camels back was the last post by glory_bones676. I thought to myself, this cant be real. 14 years old, a perfectly healthy weight, and wanting to get to 87 pounds?! Sweetheart, I'm sure you are perfect the way you are! All of you readers and members are beautiful people, and you are killing yourselves!
I'm sure I'll be attacked for this post, but it wont matter. I just wish you all the best, and urge you to reconsider your unhealthy choices.

Hi, I'm Jess =D

GW:87 but i'll be taking smaller steps to get there.
1st GW: 130.

I'm 14, I've been suffering with anorexia for about 4 years now. I came out of recovery and finally got my internet connection back, and I plan on getting back down to my LW =) As you can see I have a long way to go, I'm not "excited" or anything. I will be when I see the weight loss though :].

Hope everybody's doing well =]

Hi all

2008-02-04T10:33:56Z

Newbie here, so i suppose first my stats,
CW 196
TW 100
HW 265
LW 152
Height 5.2

Im 18 and i use herbal laxatives. i know they are bad for you but when i first started, i lost a stone in 4 days and now im addicted.
I take two every morning then one each time i eat, two depending on the calorie content of the food. i drink so much water each day!

I blame my mum for how im like, starving myself. I bought a new top a while back and put it on to show her and my newly dyed hair and the only thing she said was 'you need to cover your fat gut up' i constantly got comment like that from her, she always said i shouldnt wear heels because i was too fat and they would break. She weighs 270 and thinks im fatter than her?? she messed me up so badly.

luckily though, my parents split up and im living with my dad (whos awesome) but he makes it very difficult to lose weight as he likes to cook gorgeous but fattening food and likes us to eat together so i cant not eat. the bathroom is next to his bedroom so he would hear me throwing up! hence the reason for laxatives as he never has to know!

So anyway, i'll be on here a lot so leave me a comment. good luck everyone!

Hi I am pretty new to LJ. I have friends that use daily and love it, but I am still getting used to everything on here. I wanted to join this community because I am always struggling with my weight. I need to loose 55lbs to get to my goal weight of 165. My highest weight I have ever been was 230 and I am getting close to that again.. and I don't want to be that again!

I have tried to loose weight in the past, done pretty well. Once on WeightWatchers I lost 20lbs and I stopped and fell of the band wagon. I have struggled with depression for several years now and I really feel the different antidepression meds I have been on have contributed to my weight gain and inability to loose weight very easily. Since then I have gotten on Wellbutrin, which I have been told by many people it doesn't make the pounds fly on like most other antidepressants and it has a speed like quality as well. Another hurdle I have over come is realizing that different forms of birthcontrol also add to weight gain, depsite what the drug companies say. So I have since become hormone free and I am anticipating it will help my metabolism become some what normal again.
What is everyone else doing to try to loose weight? What diet and exercise plans?

I will set small goals till i reach the full 65. I have the worst time trying to diet ever! I fell like I'm addicted to food like people are addicted to crack. If i don't eat after a long while i get shaky sweaty dizzy its horrible no one should feel like that! Does that only happen to me or what?

Yeah so lets hope this small goal weight thing works for me cause I'm excited now. I have been working out everynight and subsiting one meal a day with something healthier then i would normally eat.. I'm feeling positive like this actually may work this time

2008-01-05T19:55:43Z

one of those new members of course
I'm about to graduate in about 5 months and I'm 180 lbs. this is also the highest I've ever weighed. I've tried dieting before but i also have never been this hard core about it. Yes yesterday was my first day but its the farthest i've ever gotten. My first goal is to get back down to my weight before the holidays which would be 175. once I get there, I'm going to continue on to trying for 130lbs. I've posted how i plan to do this on my journal and anyone is welcome to read and/or post if you wish. I like many others am focusing on a decreased calorie intake and increased exercise. I hope to find some encouragement on LJ and some friends as well. so stop on by and leave me some love!

Why Do I Eat SOOOO Much?!?!?

2007-12-23T22:57:35Z

I've been overweight my whole life and have tried numerous diets.

August 2005 I got to my heaviest weight. I was 19 and 260lbs. Finally I buckled down and counted every single calorie I put in my mouth...down to the last grape! I'd always try to aim for 1200 calories or less each day and I walked a ton everyday on campus and to the bus for work.

By August 2006 I was at 190lbs and so happy with myself and kept trying to lose more, but I couldn't. Over the next year I really stopped thinking about it so much and wound up gaining weight.

By September 2007 I was back up to 212lbs. Now it's December 2007, I'm 22 and back down to 190lbs, but I just can't seem to lose anymore. I've been at 190lbs for the past few weeks and it sucks because I've really been trying to eat really well and I'm doing the same things now as I was a month ago.

Typically I eat 800 calories or less a day, but sometimes I eat more. I definitely don't work out as much as I should though. I know everyone's going to say you're not eating enough, but I've seen firsthand, MANY people lose weight while not eating many calories and just working out a lot (kinda like me back in 2005-2006). Plus, my stomach has shrunk so much that a lot of times I'm just not hungry anyway or when I do eat, I just can't eat that much without feeling so full that I'm nauseous.

My ultimate goal is to get down to 150lbs. I can't even comprehend getting to that weight, but I remember back at 260lbs, I couldn't imagine being under 200lbs. I get depressed and annoyed about my weight, but the truth of the matter is, I really do feel a lot better about myself. I went to this holiday party just recently and wore this amazingly sexy (and tight) dress and caught every single person's eye. For the first time in my life, I felt like the hot girl of the night. I got a ton of compliments and my date for the night kept telling me how beautiful I was. I can't believe that I used to wear a size 24 in pants and now I'm wearing size 14. I know I have so much more to go...40 more lbs!!!, but I do have to remember that I've done something amazing already and I just have to stay motivated!

I hate it though, cuz I'm back home for the holidays and eating everything in sight. I need motivation and encouragement!
