Posts Tagged ‘goal weight’

I am 100 pounds overweight, but I’ve just recently started a very big life overhaul……..I’m eating healthy, taking health classes, hired a personal trainer, spending 2-3 hours per day at the gym. I am 100% committed to lose weight, but I want to know how I can get healthy and not end up with all this hanging skin afterwards??

Is the secret in slowing down the weight loss?

Am I destined to have this hanging skin no matter how I do it?

By the way, I am 5’4" and 240 pounds. My goal weight is 140. I’m totally committed and I’m in a hospital supervised program……..and they have suggested a weight loss of 2-3 pounds per week……..but no one will answer me about this hanging skin potential problem.

Is there something I can do while I’m losing the weight to prevent it?

I have a chart to track my progress,
starting weight/BMI/amount lost/date weighed in
goal weight and BMI
anything im missing?
I am a vegetarian, and only drink water.
I lost 16lbs just from not eating meat and only drinking water.

I lost 7 lbs and now I’m at my goal weight. It feels so good now I want to lose 5 more, even though I look thin and have been told to stop where I’m at. Anyone else find weight loss kind of addictive??

Also, I’m not sure how to maintain my weight now. I know I’d need to increase my calories a little bit so I don’t keep losing, but I don’t know by how much. I’m really scared of gaining weight again. Any advice? Thanks!

I acheived the goal weight that I had set but now I just want to tone my hips and thighs. I do not want to lose anymore weight.

I have wanted a tattoo for over six years. I have never been able to decide what I wanted to get, which is why I still don’t have one. My first (and probably only) tattoo has to mean something. I am currently in the process of losing a lot of excess weight to get healthy. I have already lost almost 40 pounds, but still have a ways to go. When I hit my goal weight, I’d like to finally get a tattoo, to remind myself of the weight I have lost also as an incentive to not gain it back. I still have a good several months before I hit goal, so this will not be a rush decision. The location of the tattoo will be near my left hipbone, and it should probably be no larger than the diameter of a soda can. I need suggestions of something that would help commemorate a large weight loss (over 100 pounds). Help!
I’m just looking for ideas and suggestions. I was hoping others out there were in a similar weight loss situation might answer. Like I said, I’m not going out and getting it tomorrow, this is something I’ll think about for months.
