Ok, I'll jump in I have gone organic in the last few weeks and started water exercises and walking. I had gained 7 lbs in 7 days and managed to get it off but I got on the scale yesterday (Monday) and weighted the most ever, 170! I know I have an issue here with some allergies to food as well as the pollen allergy I just developed (big time). I have not exercised since Friday as my pollen allergies are so bad right now. I'll try again today. I would like to be at least down to 145. I wish you all luck.
Find your joy and live it. |

| Opps, I don't know how I managed that little boo-boo! Anyway, as I was saying...You will get all kinds of help from all us gals here and we WILL get to our goal weight! I want to be at 145 too and with summer and nice weather here, we will all be able to get out and move around and shed these extra pounds quickly! |

I'd love to join all of you! I currently weigh 146 and would like to be 135-140 lbs. I walk for exercise and do workout dvd's at home for strength training. But I also like desserts so it's been a little tough to see the scale move in the right direction!

Kim, you and I are very near each other...I'm 5 foot 4 and weigh 139...I'd like to get down to 120 or so, but at 34 I don't know if that's a possibility or not! I'm not 25 anymore...
I weighed in again this am (138...still) and have been drinking my water (Blech!) and eating lowfat/high fiber lunches. Seems like dinner's have been good for me, too, but I'd like to see more of a difference on the scale each week.

We are very close in size! I'm 5'4 too and if I could get back to 135 I'd be very happy. I'm 51 and I'm amazed at how much longer it takes to lose weight and get more muscle.
I've been doing the water/fiber thing too but the weight doesn't seem to be budging!

When I first met my husband, Kim, I was at 111, that was 8 years ago, but then I got on bc pills after we married and I think that's where everything went a-rye...well, that and I love to cook. I joined a gym last year and ended up losing a little weight, but mostly just getting better "chest" muscles, arms and legs. It's not bad to have those things, but I seemed to maintain a similar weight, even with all the exercising and lower fat eating. So, dunno....maybe it's that whole metabolism thing they talk about! I use my mom as an example that it's possible, though, Kim.
When I was a senior in high school, at 5 foot 2, she weighed 148 and wore a size 10/12. The year I graduated, she joined weight watchers and lost 44 lbs and has kept it off all these years. She might weigh 108 now, but she's like a little bird and eats healthily, to boot.

Bumping this up!
I'd gained back 5 of the 30 pounds I lost but I just stepped on the scale after awhile of not checking and found out I've lost that 5 and another 5 so I'm feeling good! It's been a rough summer with the good ice cream shops opening, there's a tasty custard shop near my sister's which is where I stay when I'm off from work. (I stay at my sister's, not the custard shop...lol) I have been trying to get the frozen yougurt when they've got a flavor I like, ordering smalls and really savoring the flavor instead of just gobbling it down. Can you tell, ice cream is a weakness for me...lol
How are all you ladies doing?

Glad you bumped this Elizabeth! I found out the scale I had been using all spring had been uhm...very kind by shaving off 10lbs!
So my starting weight was 178 and I am down t 174.2. Not a great loss but at least I am losing again. This week I am going to really focus on water. I am feeling like my body really needs to flush itself and I know I have been drinking more lemonade and soda than I should!

Ok ladies, I could hardly wait to get on here and tell you that I finally got to my goal weight at W.W.!! Yep, it took me a whole year but I did it. I lost 70 lbs. and I don't mind telling you that I feel amazing! I do think I would like to lose another pound or two but I don't care if that takes me the rest of the summer to accomplish that.
Do you guys think that 70 lbs makes me the "Farmgirl biggest loser"? I don't know for sure but I bet it's a pretty safe bet!
For anyone needing a diet buddy, let me know, I'd love to help you out. If I can do it, you KNOW you can do it!!!! Keep up the good work and thanks for letting me brag a little, I did work pretty hard to get where I am! |

Cindy- You are awesome and such an inspiration! Keep up the great work and tell us how you did it!
This morning I was still at 174, but I think I am dehydrated and so am holding on to some water weight. I am going to concentrate on drinking water today. I'll weigh in again tomorrow and see if that helps. Plus I am going to start doing some sort of work out. Even if it is just doing crunches and push ups!

Hi, farm ladies, I too have been struggling with my weight these last two years, as I am 'semi retired'. That 'semi retired' my muscles! So I want to unretire them and I have been working on eating organically and with my 'new allergies' in mind. I am down 8 lbs to 159. I flucuate up and down a few lbs every other day and can't stay below 160. I am currently working on the Suzanne Somers diet as it is really close to how I eat anyway, however, no meat allowed as I am allergic to all types of meat. I am ready to be healthy and fit!!! I'll keep checking in as it will motivate me more! Good health to everyone!
Find your joy and live it. |

Sandy:
Good luck to you. I lost 50 pounds 8 years ago by just cutting out sugar. I walked 40 minutes 5 times a week.
Keep us posted.
