I'm twenty one, have a goal of losing twenty four kgs, and will probably find twenty thousand excuses over the next few months. Looking for people around my age that are trying beat their bellies into submission or just some gentle encouragement and not so gentle words when needed <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Hanny.

Since descovering your site a year ago I have lost more than 30KG. My original goal was to get down to about 80KG (from 103) - once I achieved that weight, I took another look at my goals and decided to try for 75KG. And so on... I've maintained 67KG for about 3months now happily. And I've been completely smokefree for 15 months. Thank you all, I'm very grateful for sharing your inspiration.

Im also a chef, which everyone thinks is great when your dieting but it is the worst thing ever as you know how you like food, and to love to cook, bake etc is always hard as its always with the bad things .. I have recently been told I am very close to being a type 2 diabetic, and have changed myeating habits by loads, probably about 50 % there, sometimes it is still very hard but it is just being aware if what goes into my mouth.. i do have a problem with eating for the sake of it cause I love food, so its more about portions than the type I think.. as for exercise, none existent, i have all the excuses you can think of and some are reasonable like problems with legs ankles etc, but they are just excuses.. I have motivation when it comes to everything in my life except losing weight, I dont know why.. probably hide behind it for some reason.. i need people who are in the same boat.. motivation is key to me.. otherwise I will just do nothing and get bigger and bigger.. i know i need to do this and i know how to do it.. I just cant motivate myself to do it. minumz on "has anybody tried the Dukan Diet? is it a fad?" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/has-anybody-tried-the-dukan-diet-is-it-a-fad#post-873 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:53:16 +0000 minumz 873@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ was seeing lots of information on the dukan diet and was wondering if anybody has tried and if it was just another fad..

I currently weigh 118kgs and am ready to burn it off. I was diagnosed with an over sensitive left knee meaning that a lot of exercise and activities are out of the question. But how do I loose weight when I can't exercise as much as I want to??? I've done weight watchers and been to gyms in the past but as soon as you stop the weight just piles back on, also gyms are never open the hours that suite me. My partner brought me an Exercycle and a road bike and I use them all the time <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> :) I am now ready though to kick it all up a notch and seriously loose this extra weight!! Jade on "Ready for a new start" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/ready-for-a-new-start-1#post-844 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 18:54:28 +0000 Jade 844@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ So I'm into my second week, and i have to say the first week went really well. I made it up a huge hill on my bike without stopping for the first time, ate healthy and didn't stop and by crap on the way home from work, I was feeling soooo great. BUT this week, I don't know whats happened, It's like my subconsciously I'm trying to get fatter. I don't understand it. Normally I'm an emotional eater, but this week I have been fine, work has been fantastic, home is great, everything's fine, but I still find that every day this week I have stopped on the way home and brought crap food, and I haven't exercised once this week. WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!

At 16 I weighed in at 120kgs and stayed there even through 4 kids. Now I'm 42 and at 145kgs (just weighed today at the docs. My BP was 191/110, the poor nurse looked as though she was going to have a heart attack at seeing that number. I have a long journey ahead of me but its one that I need to take if I plan to stick it out and see my granddaughter grow up and be happy. I haven't succeeded yet.. I say 'yet' with some hope and well just a tiny bit of belief that I will succeed. I've tried a few times before and slacked off, and here I am giving it another go. My only plan is to eat less than I exert, loose a bit of weight through food/diet management, include more exercise the better I feel and keep going from there. The only point of difference I have now is that I've given myself a year to do it in. Not even thought about a weight goal. Just a year to make changes in my lifestyle that will reflect in my body changes/health and well being. I can only try and try again.. and one day I hope to succeed. I'm kinda scared but kinda excited as well. Cheers.

Would love to be 50 kg lighter, I know it is a big ask but I reckon if I can motivate myself I should be fine. Im 39, 115.3 kgs..long way to go. Im a chef as well which doesnt help.. love my food.. hate exercise..lol, well thats not true, I l;ove exercise and the buzz it gives you but my body hates it, i am sore for days and sometimes cant walk afterwards, have buggered ankles and legs.. Tried swimming, not the best but might be all i can do for awhile. Any other ideas out there. I have a loving hubby to be, who supports me in all this.. its just motivation, believe me I can get motivated, it is staying up there that i have probs with. Ive done all the diets, Jenny Craig, weight watchers, citrus diet, Aitkins etc etc.. even sure slim which was great but I did it at the wrong time of my life.. starting a business at the same time. Anyway... time for a new me. Today.. weigth myself at 115.3kg, I yo yo anything from1 - 3 kg in a week, must really start just weighing in once a week.. Saturday mornings I think is best, then I can come down here and fill this in. I always eat breakfast at work.. trying to have an egg adn toast each day. Lunch.. this can be anything, but as it is in a kitchen soemtimes easiest and lowest calories is soup.. Dinner is at home and we eat alot of thai foods... dont think food is my main prob, its the amount of food and the lack of exercise. Might go for a swim tomorrow morning.. See ya tomorrow. <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> becca on "sahm of 4.." http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/sahm-of-4#post-834 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 17:05:30 +0000 becca 834@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ well its time to kick this baby weight.. 13mth is miss number 4! 96kgs 5ft4in grr so id like some suport.. any one keen to be a fat to thin buddy??

I'd like to give it up to you Liz for achieving the goals you have and for putting this site together for other to draw inspiration from. Bigg Ups 2U Girl! Yee'aaahh! Alright, now that's out of the way <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> My Name is Justyn, aka "Bigg Poppa" or "Big Show" lol So ya'll who read this can refer to me as either or. At this point in time right now, I weigh in about 190kgs and the goal is to lose 80kgs (like yourself there Liz) <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";)" class="bb_smilies" /> So this is the first of many 'write ups' that I'll be placing up on this site to help track how I'm doing etc.. plus I feel if I do this and share my experiance it'll help inspire others (and me in the process) to stick to the goals I lay out for myself. I've read through the majority of the information on this site and found it all helpful, alot of the stuff I already knew but it's about time to put all the things that I've learnt into practise. As always we have our own stories about how we gained weight blah blah blah.. lol So I'm not gonna go into all that, what I will say is that it's all on me why I got so big. I don't blame anyone for the size & wieght that I am now... and I know that I'll reach my goal <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> So... here I go, wish me luck people and I'll try and update all you guys as much as I can but I don't have my own internet but I'll do my best <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";)" class="bb_smilies" /> Kia Ora :p Mellie on "Hello, American here. :)" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/hello-american-here#post-836 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:19:17 +0000 Mellie 836@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ My name is Mellie, good to meet you all. My story is I've tried everything to lose weight but I just can't seem to stick it out. I even paid 150 bucks to a hypnotherapist to no avail (In all fairness to her, I couldn't afford to go back another two or three times like I was supposed to). I know how to lose weight it and how to do it right, I just keep falling off the wagon which is why I'm here. I'm hoping to get some moral support, have a place to b*tch or obsess or not obsess or what ever it is I need to do to stay on track. Anyway, looking forward to getting to know people around here and thanks for this great site Liz, it's amazing! <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> ivycat on "Diary of Ivycat - target 60 kg" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/diary-of-ivycat-target-60-kg#post-288 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:02:33 +0000 ivycat 288@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Well doing the soup diet this week to kick-start - and it is going well!

I am a breastfeeding mum of four and have lost a lot of weight in the past but after my last baby I see it starting to creep back on. At my heaviest I was a size 22 and 120kgs, currently I am close to 80kgs and my goal is 70kgs. So 10kgs to go. My hubby and I have decided to do it together, and its going to be a bit of a competition to see who can lose the weight first, nothing like a bit of competition. Its also nice to have the support and encouragment and knowing that we both feed each others problem I am hoping by working together we will also be more affective. Today I went to the local markets and got our fruit and vege fresh, I also went and got some chicken breasts and fish and shrimp. Yesterday I went for a long run along the beach, today for a good walk along the river. So I am trying to stay active and eat less. I have a lot of extra baggy skin and finding this website was good for me because I almost used that as an excuse to not loose any more weight, like the more weight I lost the worse I would look with extra baggy skin, and I think in my head I had that the only way I would look any good was with surgery (which we cannot afford) and reading the stuff about being your ideal body weight/body fat composition made me feel much better, there is something I can do in all this! Anyways I need support and encouragement so thought I would join the online community <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> We have four kids ranging in age from almost 5 months to 13 years, so I am a very busy mum! Its a lot of fun though <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> cherrydaisy on "Just Started" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/just-started#post-751 Sat, 21 May 2011 10:18:08 +0000 cherrydaisy 751@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Hi There, I just found this website lastnight. I have never counted calories before and just being attentive this morning and taking note i realise how many calories i throw away on junky food and how easy it is to use up the daily allowance on stuff that is no good for me. This morning i woke up, it's saturday, i have this idea that meh it's the weekend.....I ate food and prepared my childrens breakfast, then out of curiosity i thought i'd add up all the calories i just ate. I pigged out on various things.... coming to a total of 1096.9Cal!!!!! Woah, and most of the calories come from the biscuits i munched back on. The calories i don't really pay attention to like buttering toast, sugar in my coffee etc... It has really opened up my eyes to what i am putting in. I have decided to make a food diary, and have also done my list of 25 'Reason's i want to be fat' and working on figuring this all out. Soooo, The food diary begins, and not making so many excuses for myself. i am pretty busy being a single mum of two, work full time and study (which seems to be my excuse to not exercise) But really, there is time there somewhere <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" /> I find myself extrememly tired and go through bursts of eating. I get stressed and emotional eat etc. So here goes. I am 110kg, 166cm tall and totally over weight. Time to take control.!!

When I started I was 127kg and am now down to 123kg in the 6 weeks but to be honest I thought I would have lost more. With so much to loose I guess I was expecting it to drop off. This week I have went to the gym 5 times for about an hour and worked really bloody hard but didnt loose anything this week!!! My eating was still good and cant work out where Im going wrong. How do you get past it and make sure that next week you loose weight? And how can we step it up a notch to loose more weight? sarahnz on "Hi" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/hi-4#post-823 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:59:42 +0000 sarahnz 823@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Hi, I'm starting my weight loss journey yet again.. What do you do for exercise that's fun ? I've been going to Kick boxing and will hopefully start Aqua jogging 2x a week starting this week. How do you keep yourself motivated in losing weight I do well for a week or so and then give up. Help!

I am feeling very motivated to do this weight loss thing properly AT LAST!!! i have given up smoking for over a year, i have also given up eating meat ( i kinda like animals and don't feel the need), I have also given up alcohol, since january...net result is that i am feeling pretty healthy BUT I am still 24kg over weight with a shameful BMI of 32....sooooo I am very ready to get going with the exercise and eating less. Eat less, move more....sounds so simple...just gotta DO IT. Vanessa on "The gym" http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/topic/the-gym#post-32 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:36:48 +0000 Vanessa 32@http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/ Earlier this year, I made the decision to go back to the gym. I love the gym, but my motivation is -10. I was doing really well and averaging about 5-6 visits per week. Then I got sick. Which is usually when I stop going. I was determined that history would not repeat itself...but it has. I am finding it really hard to get back into exercising again. I really miss the gym, but by the end of the day I can't find the motivation to go out again to the gym. It's also a bit of a pain having only one car, otherwise, I could just go straightaway. <img src="http://weight-loss.co.nz/forum/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_cry.gif" title=":cry:" class="bb_smilies" />
