I am just finding this site and signing up this evening. I am trying to do WW online, but am having a having a really hard time staying on track. I would love to share this weightloss journey with others and share my support for everyone that is tackling this along with me. This challenge looks great and everyone here seems very supportive. Looking forward to losing 9 pounds!!

tlbrwn - Welcome!

There is also a WW area on here with lots of tips! When I first started WW I was hungry all the time but my appetite adjusted. Try to bulk up your meals with lots of veggies!

I'm checking in late here tonight. I kept super busy to burn calories and get my mind off food. :D It worked because it's not even 9 p.m. and I'm ready for bed.

Glad to see more people have joined. Good luck you us all!

I'm off to a good start; down 0.4 pounds this morning. Gotta get off the weight I recently gained during the Valentine challenge.

See you all tomorrow!

Welcome to all the new joiners. Nice to have you here with us.

It's kind of funny that I had my final weigh in yesterday for the VD challenge (that just sounds wrong) and of course this morning I was down 1.2 pounds from yesterday. lol Oh well, it gets me off to a great start in this challenge.

Hope everyone has a great OP day.

Hello to all! Just 'hopping' by to say HI! I've had a mostly OP week so far, offsetting any extra cals consumed by EXERCISING (blech). I really need to find a way to like this thing called exercise, and just do it every day and let it be. Anywho, heading out of town this wknd for some much needed quality time with the hubs, I'm really gonna be trying hard to stay OP. Wish me luck! I'll be checking in for Mondays weigh-in, hopefully there'll be no damage done :crossed: Happy Thursday everyone!

redautumn 02-16-2012 10:52 AM

I just saw this today and would really like to join. This will be a good way to make sure I stay OP and exercise. I have Zumba tonight and that is something I always look forward to (twice a week). :carrot:

CW:148.0
GW for Easter: 138.0

Hello everyone! Having trouble getting off my booty today to do my work out lol :snail:. I usually work out Mon through Friday. Saturday Im usually out all day, and Sunday is my lazy day. Started Slim-in-6 this week. I was doing p90x with my DH but its a bit too advanced for me and it started to feel more like a struggle then an actual work out. I really need to buy a heart rate monitor so if anyone can give a suggestion on brands Im all ears.

Ok Im gonna get up and go do my workout now :woops:

Hi everyone, hope you all had great valentines days!

I'm aiming for 8 pounds, judging by how slowly the weight has been coming off recently that might be pushing it but we'll see...

CW: 134
GW: 126

I'm away this weekend so I'm not sure how well I'll be eating over the next few days. Fingers crossed I don't go too off track.
Good luck to you all for the weekend!

tlbrwn 02-16-2012 09:56 PM

Hi everybody, just checking in to report that I have had my first OP day for over two weeks. Complete with 10 glasses of water and 40 minutes on the elliptical and some situps. Feeling pretty good about myself this evening, so I think I will continue my successful day by actually going to bed before 11:00 and getting a good nights sleep. Everybody keep up the hard work:)

kandd416 02-17-2012 01:44 PM

Angie, I'm with you. I really dislike formal exercise. I don't mind walking, riding a bike or yard work, but formal exercise. Yuck! Of course being in Michigan it's a little too cold outside for those activities.

About the only thing I've discovered that I'm successful doing on a regular basis is the step thing on my WI Fit. I make myself do that while I watch any of my shows. It's kind of cool how you can set it for 30 minutes, watch TV as you step, and when it's done find out how many steps you've done.

It's almost like step aerobics. LOL

I need to get my Wii Fit back out and start exercising some everyday. Tonight I am taking my daughter downhill skiing. I think I am getting a cold so I hope I can make it through tonight. It is great exercise and I love it!

I did have one cheat today and that was 1/2 a yeast doughnut. There is no good excuse for that loss of willpower but am back OP. I will work it off tonight.

I don't really care for the exercise DVDs. I really like dancing and Yoga so I have been trying to find DVDs that have those things in them. I love to go on a walk in the evening but it has been too cold lately.

Good afternoon everybunny! :bunny:

Not much new to report. Diet is going well, as is exercise, but I've been the same weight 4 days in a row. Bummer! I thought that since I put a good chunk on rather quickly that it would come off just as quickly once I got back to my diet. That does not seem to be happening, unlike it used to in the past. Yet another good reason not to binge. What took me a week or two to gain (and I can easily gain 10 or more pounds in that time...I kid you not), now takes me a couple of months or more to lose. So unfair! :(

I've decided to go back to my once-a-week weigh ins because the daily ones are only bumming me out. But I'll weigh in on Saturdays because Monday through Friday I get up at 5:30 a.m., and I don't feel as though that is my true weight. For example, I've weighed in at 5:30 on Monday before and, without drinking or eating anything, will weigh again 2-3 hours later and will usually be about a half pound lighter. I need all the encouragement/weight loss I can get, so I'll go with the lighter weight on Saturday mornings when I can sleep in a little longer. ;) Boy, that really took way too long to explain. :p

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend free of temptations! :smug:
