Default Blue Team Frozen Fiesta 2013 Chat Thread Week 8 (Feb 25/13 - Mar 03/13)

Welcome to week 8

Posting a little early as I have a lot to do today and don't want to forget:-)

I hope you all had a great week seven and bigger and better for the coming week as well

I'm getting terrified I leave in less than a week now for an all inclusive week in Jamaica although I should be looking forward to this I'm so scared as my moods are really taking a toll on me...that's when I make my own food.....now stick me in a Buffett setting for all meals and within the first day I won't fit in a bathing suit and ill be *****y and depressed. Why must I still love food so much. They say 28 days makes a new habit.....how long have I been doing these challenges...lol

Well anyway here's to another week of staying on program.

Hi everyone

Well, our team has certainly dwindled down to just a handful of us, but I guess we can just continue to focus on the positive and that we are still here LOL

Congrats to the winners.

LOL well I disagree that it is a bad habit to weigh yourself in the morning but to each her own LOL. But 18young, glad you got good results.

It seems like i always struggle after having a good week. This week the scale went down to 206 yesterday and not today it says 209!!! WHAT! I didnt even cheat yesterday or anything. Im really hoping its because I had a little more salt than usual and so im retaining. Im still trying to figure out how my body likes to lose, do i need more food? I cant eat less my calories have been under 1000 for the past week. and i havnt been eating even close to my weight watchers points. Maybe thats the key.

18young - under 1000 calories does not sound like enough. I think you really need more calories per day. Healthy calories of course!

18young- I agree with bethbeth... 1000 calories isn't enough to fuel your body. I know I try to aim for around 1500.. with a total range from 1200-1900 depending on my exercise for the day. I'm sure the gain is only temporary due to retaining water. But I know how frustrating it can be to see.

I sometimes drive myself crazy with the scale... I weigh every day... but it is interesting to look back at the overall pattern from a couple of months. Sometimes I will stay the same weight most of the week... and then I'll have a quick drop. I also always seem to have a small gain right before losing a larger amount. Seeing the trends have helped me to deal a little better with all the fluctuations.

Bigmid- Hope you are getting ready to have a wonderful time on your vacation! Enjoy yourself.. but maybe you can also make time each day to get some exercise. Walk the beach... head to the spa for a workout ... swim/hike. It might make you feel more relaxed about all the eating options.

I am SO hoping that this next weigh in I might finally see 199 on the scale! Its going to be close... i've had a couple more days where I went off plan with my eating... but I have been getting my exercise every day.

I'm so happy....I managed to lose a pound this week! It was a bad week. I was sick, so not able to exercise. My goal for February was to lose 5 pounds, and I lost 7! Wahoo!
