So in theory, my goal is to try and treat myself well nutritionally and physically every day and enjoy things like chocolate, fried potatoes occasionally (once or twice a week) and in small portions. This has worked pretty well, until recently. Recently I've been faltering and that's why I'm wondering if a more concrete goal- 500g a week, or something- might be the kick in the pants that I apparently need?

Whatever goal you set helps you. Sorry for my late delay. I have been away for awhile. Spending personal time away. I look forward to seeing your results.

Ok I am at 226 now and not where I wanted to be right now but I know there are fall backs in all projects. I am goingot push harder for the 215 goal in 2 weeks from today.

Ok I didn't make my first goal. So that means i have to lose 25 pounds by Samhain to keep on track. That is just under 4 pounds a week. Might be hard to do, but I will try.

Ok Lost 3 more pounds this week!! So I am now 223. :D I have another goal of 3 pounds this week by next weigh in. really trying to eat better and need to work out.

Make one of your goals a work out 3 times a week - find something that works... what toning type exercise are you doing...
have you seen the you tube walk videos with Leslie Sampson I think it is a little cardio based but good for the legs..
and light weights are cool...

Davisag 09-16-2016 08:06 PM

No Kat I haven't I'll have to look. I need to start walking around the neighborhood.

Karencat 09-18-2016 05:55 AM

good luck with the walk around the neighbour hood - you tube search walk workouts gets some interesting workouts.. some easy and basic others a bit more intense

I am still 223 this week. I maintained but... I LOST 2 INCHES SINCE I STARTED!! I lost an inch on my belly and 1 on my waist. My problem areas. I am so excited. :carrot::carrot: Now... That is a major encouragement. I need more. It's like an addiction now. lol :dizzy: Stay Tuned. Who knows what will follow.

Ok so I have been fighting a locking back for a month now. Getting worse and worse every week. I have an appointment with the primary care manager in the morning for my High Blood Pressure. So making sure they check on my back too.

Magicsusan 11-02-2016 01:12 AM

Yikes! That's awful, Davisag! Hope you get it sorted soon...

Davisag 02-07-2017 01:37 AM

43 now
 
Ok my back is feeling better. It locks some times but it was how I was sitting at work.

My blood pressure is always an obstacle for me. But sine the gaon of over 10 pounds in the last 2 months I need to really do something.

Davisag Welcome back! Glad your back is feeling better. There are some great challenges that started 02/01/17 on the chicks up for a challenge board. It's not too late to jump in on one of those for some added motivation.

Davisag 02-07-2017 02:48 PM

Glad your back is better. That must have been miserable.

You can have a brand new start and be much happier by your next birthday. :broc:
