Woooo you go girl, I can tell by your ticker you've been doing an amazing job, You can definitely drop the 20 by your birthday. My birthday is coming up Feb 2nd and my goal is to lose 10 pounds by then (get down to 260) . What have you been finding helpful so far with your weight loss? 26 lbs since oct is awesome!
How about tracking our daily activities and diet here that will help us in achieving our mini March goal and also stay accountable? This should also include times we cheated on the diet. Also the weigh ins?? How often do you weigh?? Right now I do it everyday.
Seeing no progress so far even after working out and watching food portions..........
I also weigh every day!
I worked out today, day four in my new regime. But sadly my weight has been up the last four days as well. I'm at 220 lbs this morning :-(
Actually was too embarrassed to state the increase in weight even after working out like crazy
Its not a major increase, just had reached 204.2 when this thread was started. Today I am 205.3....Have been exercising regularly (more than an hr. at the gym) since the 4th of Jan. (Not yesterday as the gym is closed every Monday)
Lets see.......... maybe tomorrow will be a new day
I bought a green and white Banana Republic shirt today at the Goodwill Store for a whopping $2.50 (still had the $34.95 original tag on it!) that I want to wear for St. Patrick's Day. I'll probably have to be as close to 200 as I can to pull it off (I mean put it on lol). Can I join your birthday challenge and just skip the cake??
Great, thanks!! And good luck to all of you!! I love having something to work towards with all of you.
I did great there today. It was half off yellow tags so if it didn't have a yellow tag, I wouldn't buy it lol.
I got a Ralph Lauren Chaps shirt, a size 18 Old Navy pair of Jeans, the Banana Republic shirt and a Susan Graver sparkly purple tanktop all for $2.50 each. I was so excited!! None of it fits of course but they will soon!
Mozzy - Wow. WTG. Mine hasn't budged at all. Went to the gym again. Did cardio for half an hour. And later weight training. This was the first time ever for me. My limbs are practically useless. I can not raise my arm at all and can't feel my legs. In all, slogged off for 1.5 hours in the gym. I am even eating right since yesterday and drinking lots and lots of water but weight loss..NADA!!
elvislover324 - Welcome. What cool bargains!! My closet is full with "smaller size clothing" which I have purchased hoping to fit me in the very near future. Well, they have accumulated over the past so many years. So no more shopping for me. I need to buy new clothes though which fit me right now. Hope to get a good deal.
Mozzy - Just think that you have no other option. You know what is currently working for me!! I think "I will go today and take a break tomorrow instead" Think of this every time. That tomorrow will never come. Or else, just think that it is better to get it done with or feel guilty the entire day. And the scales are not helping either. Come on, Mozzy!! You can do it
Imagine yourself wearing your birthday dress being 20lbs lighter. March is fast approaching. Let's go for it!! You will feel so much better once you just finish today's work out
