everyone is probably doing holiday stuff today--have fun--it is really hot here so we are just taking it easy. Makes it easy to drink lotsa water!
I love week one for the fast weight loss--I am down 5 lbs over the last two days. Of course the best week is the last week when I am right next to my goal.
I want to join. This is my goal to stay on plan and eat healthy for 100 days. I am starting today. I am motivated, and I know that if I can stay on plan I will reach my goal.
July 3, 2011 is Day 1
I live in a fire area so no bbq--one of my faves--and on my current plan I could have as much grilled protein and veggies as I want. I love how bbq grills add that extra flavor with no cals!!
Another pound today making six in 3 days--I know it is all water weight but I will take any kinda weight loss I can get!
Envelope: wow--jogging five miles that is amazing! I have never been a runner and now I have bad knees so I cant do all that impact stuff but I bet it really helps with weight loss. congrats on all your weight loss so far--you are doing fantastic!
bumblebee: welcome--I am just starting too so we will be ending about the same time--lets visualize that 100% time and the effects it will have!
Snowbrocade: You are doing great. congratulations on your weight loss.
Today is day 2 of 100 days. It was TOM and I was craving everything possible. I gave into my craving for one day, and got back in control as quickly as possible.
I am determined to stay on track for the next 98 days.
Hello everyone. Glad to see you again, Sno. You're a great cheerleader for Team 100%. I'm glad to see new joiners and the long time haulin' 100%'ers. My goal is to lose 6 pounds by August 15 (final goal to lose approx 20 pounds more).
I was off grid camping with the family over the 4th. It was so great. I just caught up with my e-log (I've been doing CalorieCount and also tracking in a little paper notebook). According to my monthly review, I've stayed on track at 1550 calories on average but I also know that I generally did well at about 1250 cals. One of the camping days, I consumed over 3,000 calories (with about 2400 calories burned in backpacking and such).
We did have such an amazing family experience that we're planning a long bike and picnic day later this month (after husband's summer courses end).
Yesterday and today, I biked for my Me Time Holiday (we got back on Sunday and I had days off until today). I actually biked 35 miles on Tuesday (talk about "saddle sore"). Today I biked 15 miles. Whew.
I'm biking instead of my knee destroying in-house jog-in-place. I'm still note able to do my home dvd's. I'm looking in to joining a lap swim account at the community pool so I can swim on bad weather days or maybe from the Fall onwards.
Hello Folkies. It's a rainy day which takes me off my bike. I've been so lovin' the bike that I was a bit bummed to think, "What, rain? Arghhhhh!" But I'm quite cheerful now. Mostly because I know I've put in lots of exercise time for my week (I try to look at my totals over a week instead of focus solely on daily amounts), already. Saturday and Sunday look sunny, too.
Strategizing: I need to make sure I have alternative exercise (no dvd at home still to continue resting that darn shoulder issue). Thinking of swimming (but I can never get my ears wet so I have to be creative) or maybe joining my husband's gym.
Looking back over the past couple months, I think it's taken me four weeks to get used to the 1250 cal daily amounts. It's now pretty comfortable. I do have an overage sometimes but I almost never go over my maximum of 1500. It's good. I think I've hit my stride. I putzed (sp?) around for a few months with low results. Now, I am seeing more consistent results. Being 44, I also have to find sustainable and healthy ways to lose because I tend to over-exercise and hurt my joints.
How are each of you combining your exercise options: in-door/out-door, relaxing/vigorous, specific workout verus commute or active lifestyle? I'm trying to have bits of each. How do you add them up?
sno - congrats on the loss and beating the cravings.
Jolina - Sometimes when my weightloss slows down I get a bit fustrated with it, but I keep reminding myself that a loss is much better than a gain.
Iaradajnos - I need to make some plans to go camping, it is so much fun. I am going to pack up a bunch of vegis, some I will eat raw, but I will also cook some up in tinfoil packets on the fire.
I decided to sign up for a 1/2 marathon, so training for it has been my main source of exercise besides playing with my kids.
littlebumblebee - You can do it!
I have a question for you all. The idea of 100 days on plan, it is our individual idea of op right? What I mean is that I consider myself op if I eat btwn 1200 - 1800 cals and average out at about 1500 cals per day and I follow my exercise plan for the week. Is this ok?

Reason: added question
Good Morning everyone!
I have stayed on my plan for the last week, and have dropped one more pound.
Yesterday, one more person noticed I have been losing weight.
After losing more than 30 pounds, it's about time!
Enjoy the nice weather and get outside for some exercize this coming week...
Day 2
