Topic : Join the 100 Pound Club

I was glad to see another 24 year old on here.  I am right where you are.  We are too young and have spend too much of our lives not being healthy.  I know that you can do it.  I will be praying for you.  God is my strength and I know that I need to turn to HIM and not to food for comfort.

 

As far as eating healthy, that is what I need to learn, but I can tell you to eat throughout the day.  Stock your fridge with fruits and grill LOTS of chicken.  Drink lots of water and concentrate on only a few habits to start incorporating.  DON'T BURN YOURSELF OUT!  Make lasting changes and spend time developing healthy habits that will stay with you for your lifetime.  We don't need to lose this weight only to gain it back and have to battle it when we are 34, 44, 54, 64, etc......... 

 

(A little about me and singing:  I hate making my own food so much that I even made up a song that I sing when I have to make a sandwhich!)

I'm going to try this. I am 35 years old and am SO sick and tired of my weight. I am so embarrassed. And just need a LOT of support and motivation. So here I am and I hope this helps!!!
Best of luck to all of you. I hope we all are very, VERY successful and make Dr. Phil and Robyn proud!!

Hello,

 

I am just starting out I watched Dr.Phil's show today and It made me realize what I needed to do. I already

have his book but I never read it so I instantly started to read it.

I'm 40 years old and  I have about 100 pounds to lose. I'm married to a great guy and I have a wonderful 8 year old son. I'm looking forward to being in the club and having others to keep in touch with.

Hi Christina, my name is Natasha and I'm 35 yrs old. I, too, have to loose over 100lbs. I, too, am starting today. I don't have a lot of health problems, as of yet, however there are some things that have started. One very important one right now is my lower back and hips. They are, as we speak, completely out of whack and I'm in a lot of pain. However, I'm on the right track to fix it and also my weight.
I am very interested in finding someone to email and share this journey with. I don't know if you would be interested in that. Just let me know.
I know we can do this and be successful at it. Best of luck to you and your journey! :)

Hi my name is Susanne.  I am 48 years old, I'll be 49 in December.  I am the divorced mother of 2 grown children. I have a job I sometimes love and sometimes hate.  I am on my feet 8 hours a day and my job is pretty physical. My weight fluctuates between 300-305 pounds.  I want to be a much healthier person by the time I'm 50 next year.

I haven't always had weight issues.  I used to be at a healthy weight, although I thought I was fat.  I had 5 sisters who made it their mission in life to convince me of that.  After I got married my husband continuously told me I needed to lose weight to make me happier.  At the time I was 142 pounds at 5'6".  How I would like to see that now!

I gained a lot of weight with my first pregnancy, not a lot with my 2nd, and  lost most of it.  Then the marital problems started and I gained up to 320 pounds.  Well the marriage ended, but the weight problems didn't.  I don't see why now that I don't have to deal with any of that anymore, I can't seem to get the weight off.  Yes, I've lost 20 pounds and I am so thankful to God that I have.  I am determined to get myself back into my "fighting" shape.

Last August, one of my daughters blessed me with a beautiful grandson.  I want to be able to see him grow up and right now in my shape I am scared that won't happen unless I do what I know I've needed  to do for a while now.  Get off my butt and get going.

I bought Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Solution a while back and read it, but didn't put it into practice.  I watched his show , choosing his teams--wish it could be me, but I am going to do it with them.  I am here for support and to give it when I can.  My 2 daughters support me and I know this time I can be successful. 

I know I am worth it and I will take the time for myself.  Positive affirmations because I haven't always believed it.  ;-)

Hello!

My name is Sarah.  I need to lose at least 75 pounds and have been seriously trying to lose weight for the past 7 years...but have gone up and down a lot...always getting off track along the way.  I have Dr. Phil's book and am going to get started reading it.  I am excited to change my life and lose the weight...once and for all!  I look forward to checking in with everyone and finding the support & tips we all need to keep moving forward toward our goals.  Good luck to everyone and any advice along the way will be appreciated!

Hello,  I am a 38-year old mom and I am tired of being fat. I have five children from ages 7 to 18 and I am earning a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Sciences. I have been married for almost 20 years. I should feel fulfilled because I am proud of these accomplishments. I know that my negative feelings revolve around my weight. I feel like a real failure. In addition, I have had Multiple Sclerosis for about 10 years and have real issues with energy levels and muscle loss. I really feel trapped. I hope and pray that this program can kickstart me into a positive change. I sat and cried during the show that introduced the weight-loss race teams today. I do think that I am ready to take these important steps.

Anyone who may have some encouraging words or advice that might help me stay motivated--please--I need some real support in this. Thanks!

Hello again,

This is your time, kiddo. One step at a time, one little tiny chnage at a time. Be kind to yourself, treat yourself with love and encouragement like you would treat your children.  You are a precious child of God and you are doing this for yourself, your children, and to make a better healthier life for you all.  Forgive your mistakes and missteps and persevere.  You can do it!
