Losing weight in 2003?????

“Wow, excellent, katibug!! My wife had great success w/WW, too - she was very happy with that program.”

“okay, I made up my mind. Dang bowflex isn't cutting it. I am going to join the gym today. Got to do it today or I won't do it at all. I realize that I need some sort of place I can go to. Home exercise just doesn't work for me. Walking in the park for 6 miles maybe good, but it didnt' do anything for me. Am surprised about it, but hey.... no time to cry...

hoping that building up the muscle will increase calorie burn by...I forgot, but it was alot.

on a good note: I still don't smoke!”

“gem--
i was thinking of you the other day (when I was walking--my how the mind wanders) and how all your walking was going. good luck at the gym!!”

“I have hit a brick wall as far as losing weight. I am stuck at 200 lbs. which is better than the 250 I weighed in May. I have missed quite a bit of time going to the gym and it is hard to get myself back in there.”

“you've lost 50 pounds since may. that'd be all the motivation i need. it took me over a year to lose 50 pounds. i was replacing 2 pounds of fat with 1 pound of muscle for a while though. but still, get in there.”

“...lost about 15lbs since May...down to 153....it feels great to put pants on and be able to go to the last notch on the belt...”

“I am still wearing the same clothes I wore before I lost my weight. I am not buying new clothes until I get down to
180 lbs. I did buy a new belt and I have already added a new hole to it.

Not only will I have to buy new clothes for work and play but all new hiking clothes, I don't have that much money, thrift store here come...lol”

“That is EXTRAORDINARY, Ewker!!!!!!

I've been patting myself on the back for dropping 20 pounds over the past 9 months but I gotta tip my hat to you!”

“ewker--
your weight loss still amazes me. you are doing such a great job!”

“okay, I signed up for one year. Golds gym here I come! I don't like the gym, but I'll do it... have to. Going to be in top shape in one to two month. Yeah!!! No buts or ifs about it.”

“Woohoo! I have lost 40 lbs since July :)”

“Your secret, missy?”

“hikin with mike :)


Actually i havent really done much...its just going away on its own :O”

“Great job!”

“40 lbs! Good job. Love can do amazing things.

I have lost 10 lbs this year. I've got 20 more to go at the beginning of next year.”

“Guess that will bring another name change!

Little Coop

”

“I've lost 4 lbs - not much, but it's better than gaining”

“On Jan 13, 2003 I posted that I was looking to lose 8-10 lbs and be in the 152 range.


My low weight point for the year was around 150/151 (after running on a hot day and losing 2 lbs of water wieght!).


Am now between 153 (yesterday after running) and 158 (monday after thanksgiving.


So . . . .I have been moderately successful. Down from about 162 or so.”

“Need to drop 35 here!!!
Been at 230lbs for 3 years now....most ever....
SUCKS!”

“i put on 19 pounds this year!!!!!
bout 15-16 is muscle though. it's very hard to gain muscle without gaining fat, unless you wanna get all scientific with your diet.
next year's goal: 210 pounds with 10% body fat.
i love setting goals like this. it keeps me going.”

“"Not So Big Coop" maybe. I'm not sure I'll ever beome Little Coop. Unless it's Little as in Little John from Robin Hood.”

“snafu29, you can lose it. I was at 250 for many yrs and in May 2003 I decided to lose it and now weigh 200 with 20 more to go. I will be happy at 180 lbs.”
