I'd like to join if I could... I've been gone a long time and love these challenges! soooo.... Vday...almost a month away.. I'd say being at 255 would be nice, that's 8lbs...we'll see
okay stratch the 163.50 lol. Although I weighed that at the gym yesterday morning, I didn't eat as many calories leading up to that morning. This morning I was 165.25 lbs so I'm going to go with that (I ate 1450 calories yesterday and only 978 calories the day before the gym assessment).
good evening! not much happening on this thread tonight.... hello out there!
dcapulet...wow, whatchu doin? I want in on it!
angieand2girls-sounds like you got a system, I'm not there yet...doing good!
Myself....eh nothing...course it's been a day since I joined.... but eating was naughty i am making a point to exercise and drink my flavored water though which is better than what I've done to get here in the last year or so. Wish me luck, and any tips appreciated! see yall tomorrow! (oops today)
Hi night - for me, it's about eating very low carb (only a 1/2 serving of actual starch per day) and at least 6 cups of veggies per day, along with some protein. I feel better, want to do more, and am less hungry.
Also, I exercise regularly now (for the first time in my life) - I ran a 5k on Saturday, and am studying to be a yoga teacher.
I started out exactly where you were (at 270) and if I can do it, so can you!
I'm back!
I got on the scale this am and I am 151.6.
So after two weeks of bad eating I am up 5 pounds but better than the 8 pounds I saw previously. Does this mean I gained 8 pounds in a week and lost three the next week, or did I gain 5 the first plus 3 was bloating and the second week I maintained? No idea.
Looking forward to dropping the 5 to get back to 146!
HappyHoliday- Hey I'm sure you'll be able to regain some ground, it happens...I've been doing it for a year....falling off I mean...you're still here and that's what counts!
dcapulet- 5k, wow....have never been able to think running even though I know it's good for you...I feel though like I've seen you before in my previous 3fc life...when I as smaller lol.... been on a while? I'm still working toward better eating, minor improvement. Trying to make a habit out of exercise again. Ahhh Veggies
NightAngel - I'm with you. I never thought about running until I got to grad school in 2008. I was at my highest, and ALL of my classmates were fit. One I became really close to was into running, and I ended up doing my first 5k at about 263 lbs. It was so hard to train - but I finished. It was the best feeling.
After that I stopped running until August 2012 -I just didn't have the desire. But then I realized it was a way my daughter and I could bond in a healthly way (she's 8) and we've been on ever since. Last week was my second 5k, and in April my husband, my two kids and I are running our first family 5k. It took a while, but I'm hooked!
Night Angel - I missed this the first time - I've been on and off from 3fc since 2006- about 7 years now! I've struggled with weight for a long time, but I think I might have found somewhat of a balance now.
dcapulet- yes I thought I had seen you before. Your story is inspiring... yes my daughter is 8 also and she could use some fitness according to the doctors so we try to do more. Also, looks like you're getting close on your goal, nice job!
As for me, nothing good I'm afraid. We've had a lot of people lately and I'm compelled to serve noddle type dishes and lots of starch to feed everyone.... and starch is a weakness...I don't think I've made any progress. To another day I suppose...
I hate January.
I did so much better during the nov-dec holidays than I did this month.
The good news is it will soon be February.
This week and next week I'm going to stay away from coffee, breads, and sweets. And need to do better lunch planning so I can spend less money and calories.
i am making a point to exercise and drink my flavored water though which is better than what I've done to get here in the last year or so. Wish me luck, and any tips appreciated! see yall tomorrow! (oops today)
