Thanks Turk! The only problem is that cholesterol level that was as of last month. Uncle Google's going to help me out on lower it and if anyone has any advice other than seeing a doctor I'll try it. I don't want to go to a doctor because I don't have medical insurance coverage.
This is a thread I can get behind! So allow me to tell you all my story.
So I am a chick, and obviously most women are cautious of their weight. However, I never used to be. I am a Portuguese/American woman who LOVES sweets and food. I had always been active, doing cheerleading and dancing as well as running but once I got to college all of that stopped. In college I went from about 135 to close to 190 lbs. I stayed that way till almost the end of my junior year of college in 2008. By 2009 I had gone down to 144 lbs because I started dieting and exercising like a mad woman. By the end of 2009 I was down to 130 lbs and by the middle of 2010 I finally got down to 123 lbs. In 2011 I had fluctuated between 123 and 135 lbs. Right now I am 122 lbs and I plan to keep it this way, its a lot of hard work but I know if any of you have determination you can do it! It takes a lot of will power but it definitely feels great to lose weight and keep it off. Good luck to all of you!

Good for you Seiren that you were able to lose that weight. It takes time and determination, there are no shortcuts.

My fiance is pregnant, so for the past 8 months I've gained about 35 pounds. So, I'm at 190 pounds now.
I plan to lose this ungodly amount after my baby is here. Hopefully.

Well this is a kind of weird place to first-post on SK.net, especially considering I'm responding to a month-old post, but here I go!
For improving your cholesterol levels and overall health, I'd suggest looking up the Engine2Diet book. It's written by Rip Esselstyn, who's a texas firefighter and the son of a very esteemed heart surgeon (Caldwell Esselstyn). Basically, to get in shape and loose your high uric acid levels and cholesterol levels, you'll have to cut out all animal products. Check out the success stories of other people on Rip's site, it's pretty motivating stuff to read.
Good luck with getting into shape!

That's pretty good Rhombaad. As for me I'm just trying to lose at least 5 to 7 lbs to go back to 160 at least. I feel ok where I"m at, but if I can just improve it a bit then I"m doing it. But losing this little is even harder than when you first start to shed plenty of pounds. Good work!
Congrats man! And good luck on the 175 goal.Rhombaad said:I've now lost 22 lbs. I'm down to 204.8, and I ain't stopping 'til I hit 175.

Thanks, Branded! Some weeks have been tougher than others, but I usually lose about 1-2 lbs. every week, with a few 4-5 lbs. losses every once in a while.

Good luck, man! I can't recommend Weight Watchers enough. It truly does work. I think it could help you lose those 5 to 7 lbs. really quick, which means you wouldn't have to subscribe for very long.

Set realistic goals guys, try to cut food that make you fat little by little, so you don't feel like you are going cold turkey suddendly. Start walking, then jogging and finally some running. Lift the light weights, and keep on adding. It takes time for your body to adjust, don't change gears abruptly. Now get to work!The Good Reverend Skeleton said:Good job, bro! Keep up the great work!
Now if I could only get my fat ass in gear...

I'm on it!
I'm going to start biking tonight. There's a beautiful lake near where I live that has a 9.1-something mile track around it. I want to be able to bike (and then eventually walk, jog, run) it. I understand that biking ~9 miles isn't the hardest thing on earth. But hey, it gives me a goal that I can achieve. And hopefully once I reach that goal it'll help motivate me to set and reach new, harder goals.
