Okay, I updated my weight, it was a lot higher yesterday. I guess this liquid diet has helped me a little anyway, other than prepping me for the operation, lol!

I am going to Miami in on Feb 13th, so I would like to get back down to 130 by the time I leave for vacation. I just finished take off today and I am going to use Tuesdays as my official weigh-in day! The batteries in my scale are dead, so I had to use my old scale this morning. I got on 3 different times and I got three different weights, so I will see tomorrow!

Welcome Heather!!

I just posted a 2lb loss for the week. I was shooting for 3, but a loss is a loss! I know I Sun/Mon I could have made much better choices, so I'm glad the loss showed.

Mini goal for today: walk 3 miles w/Leslie and get 4 full servings of veggies today.

Anyone else have a goal for today?

I have a goal to not eat like a maniac during my recovery! I hope to be back at the challenge by the 22nd or 23rd!

I am in. I am looking for 7 lbs before V-Day and B-Day (17th). What a gift that would be for me huh? I will weigh in on Fridays. Hate WI on Mondays. Weekends are ****. LOL

Yay Liz!! You are going to have a happy bday 7lbs lighter!

Kimphin-you are on FIRE!!

KimR-speedy recovery--come back to us!!

Ok-I only did 2miles with Les this morning, I'm shooting for 2 more after TBL. So far only 2.5 veggies in....I was on the road most of the day. Back to the kitchen for some bell peppers!

I started the challenge weighing in at 197.8....today my weight was 193.8, so thats a 4lbs loss for me. Off to a fine start. My original goal of 170lb looks much more acheivable now. I started at LAWL in May 2008 weighing in at 238.

Start
1/5/09 134 goal this week is to workout 4 times - 1 down already - and to make it through take off without dying or cheating
1/12/09 Goal 132 Actual 134...*sigh* - all I can say is, I will do better next week...

Hello everyone! I'm just popping in for some inspiration. My arthritis and the cold weather is killing me. I skipped Monday's work out but made it up yesterday. Now I have to work out again today to get back on schedule. Just reading the posts here is making me feel better already (although it could be the Vicodin, ;) LOL!).

Edited to add:

I just finished Leslie Sansone's "Walk Slim Fast & Firm! 4 Really Big Miles" so now I'm back on track with my exercise schedule. Unfortunately, I felt sick all the way through it :(. My warning is not to exercise while on pain medication (i.e. narcotics like Vicodin anyway!)

My daily goal is to stay on plan and try to get some exercise in! My schedule is crazy, so when I get home in the evenings I don't want to do anything except relax. I just can't pull myself out of bed in the morning to fit it in! I am going to try tomorrow to get in at least 30 minutes.

Green Plan -- Food for today:
Breakfast: yogurt & 3/4 c fiber 1
Snack: Luna Bar & tangerine
Lunch: Lean Pocket
Snack: Luna Bar & tangerine
Dinner: some sort of protein and my veggies

Heather - is the green plan the same as plan1?
Plan One:
2 Proteins
2 Veggie
2 Fruit
2 Starch
1 dairy
1 fat
2 LA Lite

If so - do you have a hard time with that one? I was supposed to switch down a plan, but just eliminated the lites and stayed on plan 2 and that has helped with the feeling hungry part...

Julie-- From a post on another thread the exchanges are the same, but I think the serving sizes are different. On the green plan protien is 6oz and a starch is only 1 piece of light bread. I think, from what I have read, plan 1 protien is 4oz and a starch is 2 pieces of light bread. My center never switched to the new plans before they closed.

I find that I have to eat every 2-3 hours and when I do my stomach is growling. Sometimes at night can be tough. I have found that saving my veggies for dinner and drinking a lot of water helps keep me full. I can't wait to get to my goal and start adding food back in!

Green Plan -- Food for today:
Breakfast: yogurt (1/2)
Snack: Luna Bar & tangerine
Lunch: celery, peanut butter & yogurt (1/2)
Snack: Luna Bar & tangerine
Dinner: chicken, salad, and skinny cow choc. fudge bar

I know that I shouldn't have two starches at one meal, but I have been craving ice cream all week long. I usually end up eating too much, so I set aside 2 starches.

Hi all. I actually gained a pound back this week. The good news is I have not missed 1 day since the start of the New Year when it comes to excercise. I have hit at least 30 minutes every single day which I am proud of. My eating on the other hand - not so good. I can never seem to get both things going at the same time. I either eat really well, or I excercise. I am going to keep going with the excercise and just try to reign the eating in a little better as I go. Here are my stats:
1/2/09 = 153
1/9/09 = 152.2
1/16/09 = 153.2

RRmom - I have a hard time with both also, I tend to get really hungry when I work out and feel like I 'deserve' to eat more! I'm trying to add an extra 1/2 protein or a protein bar closer to my workouts to curb this, it seems to help.
