    I feel like I am drowning in water. I forgot how much 8 16 oz glasses of water really is. Potty all the time! LOL
  • Monday WI: 262.0 my first weight...off we go!!!
    I wanted to go for my walk today, but up here in Northern California, it just rains, and rains on a daily basis.
    Okay, I can get out the "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD...
  • First WI: 244.5

    Got in 60 minutes of treadmill, a 15 minute Core Power class and a 15 minute Ab class. Logged all my food for my calorie count so far today. 6 glasses of fluid so far as well.
  • Great job susan ! WTG
  • Jeeze, my challenge and I couldn't get on to WI yesterday...

    Well, I was 230 yesterday! Was soooo tired from the time change...did anyone else have a problem with it? Today, I plan to do my treadmill...30 minutes at least!

    Have a great day!
  • joining in...
    Okay ya'll I don't know for sure how I'm going to do this, I'm just gonna stick to it.

    The three hour thing is killing me. Why? Three hours isn't a long time... Today I'm going to drink MORE water, as yesterday I kept a food journal (first time for me) and was shocked to see that I only drank ONE glass of water. Maybe that's the exact reason I can't go three hours lol!!

    I ate about 2200 calories yesterday and my goal is 1600-2000, so not too bad for the first day. I'm counting calories now just to get an idea of what I'm eating, but don't plan to continue to count calories. I find it a chore. But I do need to know what exactly I'm putting into my body. So for now, it's cool.

    Today I'm really going for the water

    As I posted in another thread, I don't have a scale, I am trying to get to my dr.'s office to weigh myself, last time I checked: I was 260 about a month ago, and that's pretty much where I hang in at. So I'll go with that and measuring my arms, as they pretty much inflate and deflate right along with the rest of me: today my arms measured approx 21 inches ....isn't that the size of a skinny woman's waist

    So I am changing my April Challenge Goal - my original was to stick to the diet and the every three hours. I'm adding to drink lots more water to that.
  • Ok, this is going to be my second post for this week since I won't have internet access until I return Saturday.

    I weighed in at 182 this morning, which is 2 lbs down from Sunday. I am not going to count it though, since food, eating times and water intake will be out of my control for the next 3 days. I do feel very positive though that next week can be very successful since I am doing so well this week! Just wait until I add in that exercise next week!

    My only goal for Wed - Fri will be to make the best choices possible. In other words, I can't pick the restaurant, but I don't need to go for the fried everything plate with a double portion of dessert. Moderation and balance will be the key for this trip. (As will aspirin and alcohol! Just kidding! )

    So take up my slack and drink extra water for me ladies!! See you Saturday!

  • ok,
    I'm in my goals are to drink more water, I want to be up to 8 glasses a day come May 1st, and do my 8 minute moves at least 3 times a week.
  • Day 2 check-in
    I am down 4.5 this morning! I know I was way up last week, but still happy with that. The challenge will be to keep going now. I am also increasing water, decreasing diet soda. Finally tried those sprinkle in packets - love the raspberry lemonade. Not good on the exercise yet - what a busy week It is supposed to be 60 here in Minnesota today so I am planning a walk after school.

  • I am down 3 this morning but I have lots of trouble pushing that durn water!
  • You ladies are all doing great, I did go weigh and I am up 2 lbs. so the rest of this week I will be very very good. I had catfish last night (yes fried) but I took off all the coating and just ate the fish inside, had a bit of cole slaw and a handfull of french fries. It was just that kind of resturant and we rarely go there but my hubby loves it so much, I gave in. Yes had two glasses of wine as it was happy hour!!!

    That is how not to eat and lose weight. lol Don't try it!!!

    This will be an OP day with turkey breast tonight, rice and green beans.....my stomach feels better already thinking about it!!!!
