Ok, I'm going to weigh in now.
I'm 26 years old, and I am trying like crazy to lose weight so I can get into the Coast Guard. When I went for my MEPS physical, I was 230 pounds. The Coast Guard wants me to be at 213, I am currently at 220. I would really like to reach that benchmark by the end of this month. I don't actually plan on stopping till I reach 200, but right now I am just concentrating on the Coast Guard.
I have been stuck at 220 for a long time now. My main problem is weekends. I can do really well watching and losing weight over the course of the week, but when the weekend comes I tend to put back what I have lost. At the start of last weekend, I was down to 215 (2 pounds to go!) but by the end I was back to 220.
I've decided to eat only at certain times this weekend. I figure During the week, I eat at 7:00 am, 10:00am, 12:00pm, 5:00pm, and 8:00pm (small meals). So I'm just going to set my watch and not eat unless it is one of those times.
