  • I haven't been great with food the first couple days this month, but it's been acceptable. I have a food plan for the next 2 days, so it's just a matter of sticking to the plan. DS and I started C25K to get him ready for his first 5K. It'll be fun to run with him and do some races this summer. Plus, it's almost like interval training this first few weeks. That should help with weight loss.

    OhMyDogs: Nice loss!!

    candy love: I feel your pain; I frequently have a very hard time falling asleep at night. I hope you get some better rest tonight.

    MsP: Hope things are going well so far this week for you.

  • Ugh. Today was craptastic. Binge central.

    It will not continue tomorrow.
  • DS and I did day 2 of C25K yesterday and it's still a hit with him. Food was good until late night. Had a couple pices of chocolate and a few chips. The scale didn't show any negative effects, but I can't get into a bad habit of doing that.
    We leave tonight for IL once again for my other grandma's service. 2 days out of town is usually pretty bad for my weight, but I'm going to try to be more mindful and make more careful choices!
    Feeling good otherwise....
  • I'm jumping in a little late.

    My goal for April is to lose 5lbs-SW: 134-and get into the 120's (for good!).

    I'm going to a benefit in LA for a long weekend mid-month which is going to challenging to say the least, so I'm hoping to get 3-4lbs out of the way before then...
  • My SW: 223 GW: 215 So I hope to lose 8 LBS this month.
  • Alright- just found the trhead can I jump in? Even if I can't make the official list

    Starting weight was: 196 GW: 187

    Goals:
    1. 187
    2. Stick to my plan daily (1200 calories, 30-60 mins exercise)
  • Weighed in at 214 today (started at 216). So, that's good news! Staying within my 1600, too. Although my weekly cheat day is Thursday (home opener!) and I have every intention of focusing exclusively on the beer and encased meats food groups-- hopefully, this won't set me too far back.

    1. Stay within 1600 cals-- yes!
    2. Lose 8lbs-- 2 down, 6 to go!
  • ohmydogs - congrats on the niiiiice loss! I hope I can do the same this week

    Candylove - I hate not being able to sleep, it seems to mess with me for up to two days after. Hope you have many zzzzzz's over the weekend

    Chickadee - awesome woosh!!

    Jasonslea - Hope things are going better for you

    Scout - great loss!!! You'll get to 8lbs in no time



    Okay so weigh in day isn't till Saturday, I'm hoping for a 2lbs loss, fingers crossed. On the other front I've been staying perfectly on plan so far (yay) One of my goals is to get through April with 100% compliance (inc. over Easter)
  • JuliaTN, VickieLou and risephoenixrise, you've been added to the list below!

    JasonsLea: I hope today was a better day for you

    MsP: Glad the C25K is going so well, and don't beat yourself up too much over a few chips and chocolate. I know you won't let it derail you. Travel safely, and stay strong!

    scout83: Great loss! Have fun at the game

    Lani: Thank you! And awesome job staying on plan... I will keep my fingers crossed for your weigh-in!


    The scale has been up the past two days for me, for no apparent reason . I have been completely on plan, so I can only figure sodium? I drank a ton of water today, and so hoping to see it back down tomorrow.

    4/5/11 195 (194 on 4/1)

    I'm trying to find a pattern in my weight loss to find the key to consistency. Think I'll start adding on exercise average for the week to see if there is a correlation. Is there anyone who has consistently lost up to 2 lbs a week? If so, PLEASE tell me how to do it!
