Just a place to record your weekly progress...whether it's weight, inches, body fat percentage or all of the above...your choice.
Keep track of your numbers here and see how well you're doing each week.

Like getting on the scale at Weight Watchers...without having to pony up the dough!

I guess I'm first...okay here goes...what the heck was I thinking?

6/28/04
Weight: 271.5 ouch!
Body Fat: 45.2%

I'm keeping it simple...I may get bold one day and add measurements, but for now I'm reeling from these numbers!

~deep breath~

Okay, it's a starting point...looking forward to making those numbers go DOWN!

Who's next?

I guess I'm next
195 and holding
I started at 260 and have been stuck here since about Dec.

Monday June 28 2004
This morning it is 320 lbs. In the last week I have lost 5 lbs

I don't tend to weigh except when I'm at the doctor, so for now I'll do one measurement and calorie and exercise goals.

Hip measurement: 55 1/2 in.
Exercise goal for this week: 10 min. stationary bike daily
Calorie goal for this week: average 2000/day or less

I'm starting this out at 251.4. I have a bit of PMS yo-yo'ing going on so hope that is the high end!

Hey, whatever you want to keep track of...do it here! Use this thread for tracking weight or daily goals, whether it's exercise, calories, meals, points...whatever. Set your goals each day, come back and check off what you've accomplished...

I just wanted a place to come and be accountable to...to see it spelled out in front of me. I need a LOT of reinforcement! So that's ME, you can use this place however you need to, to track YOUR progress.

Lots of luck to everyone!

Tuesday 6/29 WI 293 (yes that's up about 5 pounds from Spring Fling)
Exercise 1 hour Waterwalking class, 1 hour water core strengthing class
3rd hypnosis/accupuncture session

This thread is a great idea!

I started in April at about 291 yikes! And as of Sunday 6/27/2004 I'm down to 264. My mini goal is to lose 50lbs by November 1st, so I'm more than halfway there!

Food this week has been okay - could be better. Not counting calories, just trying to eat smaller portions and watch my carb intake.

Exercise is basically chasing kids around outside and gardening. Not enough, but all I have time for right now, unless I want to get up at 4:30 am - NOT!

Anyway - like I said, this is a good idea - I hope to have more time (yah, right) to post and reply.

Have an awsome day and keep up the good work everyone!

Friday 7/204 292 down 1 pound.

Hello All!

I registered back in April, but lost my password.
I finally figured out how to retrieve it via email.

Well, I started this whole thing (SugarBusters) in mid-Feb at around 380 (a rough estimate; didn't have a scale that could weigh me back then).

Last Sunday, was 335.8, but then went to Memphis for a workshop. This morning, weighed in at 339. Too much BBQ and baked beans (sugar, sugar, sugar!). I only allowed myself to have a carbfest for the first two days, and even then, I tried to control myself. I usually do my "official" weigh-ins on Mondays, so I'm hoping I'll be closer to 336 again by then. I've been really strong and "on program" since Wednesday.

I am blessed that I have an apartmentmate who is doing it with me. We don't keep temptation-type foods in the house.

Have a great day!

Well, I made my calorie target for the week: averaged 1862.
But I only exercised 4 days out of 7.
Hard to even set goals for next week--I'll travel to my mother's mid-week, and everything goes topsy-turvy, especially exercise. I'll say this, though: I'll keep counting calories and my goal is to average less than 1975. If I don't check in it'll be because I don't have good internet access for... OMG... 3 weeks.

I'll fess up. The scale screamed this morning when I got on it. But I'm being accountable and will get my butt in gear as of today!

My goal for the week:
South Beach phase 1-1/2. (fruit but no bread, potatoes, rice or pasta this week).
General Conditioning workouts - 3 x
Bike riding - 40 miles for the week
Horseback riding - 1 hour for the week
Walking the dog - 2 hours for the week

Start a Dr Phil journal.

Here we go....

6/28/04
Weight: 271.5 ouch!
Body Fat: 45.2%

7/5/04
Weight: 266.5
Body Fat: 44.2

Progress!!

Goals this week:
I like Terri's SBD Phase 1 1/2! I can do "no bread" but "no fruit!" is HARD!! Especially in the summer! Especially since there's a huge bowl of ripe, lovely watermelon sitting in my frig. Soooooooooooo:

SBD Phase 1.5
Exercise: 7 hours. There. That doesn't look like much, when you consider that there are 168 hours in a week! Definitely do-able.
Water: 1 gallon/day
Continure with Dr Phil and post on the book threads.

that's it for me...Have a great week all!

Ooops, nearly forgot: hip measurement is 55 in., down 1/2 in. from last week. I'll keep doing that until I can actually weigh myself reliably
