Starting the new week for Jeni!!

Still trying to recommit myself to myself!

W 100, used to do this like nothing, need to get it down
E Just did "Shred" off to crucnh before I hop in the shower
E OP, POP today!
D Love thyself!

Mothermavis... Thanks for starting the new thread. Great workout... I KNOW you can stay OP today

W: 96 oz
E: treadmill intervals #1
E: on plan
D: get some cleaning done tonight

Off to shower for work.....

I am not sure why I am losing so slowly. I am getting in at least 30 minutes worth of exercise 6 days a week. I am beginning to think I am not eating enough calories and/or I am having too many carbs. Over the weekend I set up a new account with FitDay and am going to start tracking calories and carbs. I am getting frustrated. I realize losing 9 1/2 lbs in 19 days is pretty good - but I lost the first 7 lbs in the first 6-7 days.

Week 1: N/A (started on Thursday of Week 2)
Week 2 SW: 256.5
Week 3: 252.6
Week 4: 250.5
CW: 247

W: 48 oz
E: Minimum of 30 minutes - six days a week
E: NO CANDY from the candy dishes at work (they have all kinds of chocolate and M&Ms and a breakroom full of free unhealthy snacks - chips, cookies, pop, etc.)
D: Getting things ready for my trip to see my daughter and her family - finish up baby gifts for her shower, etc.

Kris
Dancing away the pounds
One for every 5 lbs lost

Today was weigh in - I lost 2 lbs from previous week!

Kris - tracking what you eat is a great idea. I track everything I eat.

Mothermavis - You can do it!

Have a great week everyone - Jeanette

W: 64 oz.
E: -- (I have a cold and very low energy today)
E: 1200-1400
D: Get better!

I have been tracking what I eat - just not the calories. I was just trying to eat healthy and be careful on portion control. According to fit day and what I have been eating it looks like I need to add about 400-500 calories to my daily intake. I have only been averaging about 1200 calories. Now to find 400 calories that I want to add - that isn't mostly carbs.

Kris... It looks like you're doing all the right things... and at least losing consistently

Jeannette.... Another loss!!!!!! Awesome!!!!! You're rockin this!

I'm going to have a hard week.... lots of stress!!!! DH's grandmother passed away, and we already had a legal hearing to go to tomorrow, and the added work of getting ready for a substitute at work. I'm going to try my very best not to use food for comfort

W: 80 oz
E: weights
E: on plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No emotional eating!!!!!!!
D: get everything ready to make it through the next few days

Dawn,
Sorry to hear about your DH's grandmother. Consider allowing yourself good or at least not bad comfort food. Here's a couple things I put in the good or not/bad category: 1) Panera Chicken Noodle Soup (it's thick, filling and very healthy) 2) Weight Watchers Chocolate Desserts - I like the chocolate cake that gets gooey when microwaved slightly or the chocolate sundae dessert that takes decadent but is really not too bad. And, if you allow yourself a meal without counting, enjoy it and don't sweat it! Just try to cut out one or two things from the meal like the buttered bread or dessert.

Kris - makes sense that you need to add some healthy calories. I've heard that one's body will shift into "low-calorie burn" mode if calories are not sufficent. Good luck!

Jeni - if you can read these posts, we miss u! Hope you are having a great time! Jeanette

I have been averaging about 1200 calories a day and according to Fit Day I should be having between 1800-2000. I added about 500 calories to my day yesterday, which caused a 1 lb weight gain this morning. I figured it would do that. I have decided not to weigh again until as least on Friday because I am sure it will take a few days for my body to adjust to the extra calories and not hang onto them. I'm hoping this works. I really wanted to be at 20 lbs lost by the time I went on my trip to see my daughter, but I now know that's not going to happen. I leave in 11 days and don't think I will lose 10.5 more lbs between now and then.

On the positive side: just for fun, last night I tried on a dress I bought over two years ago and couldn't wear. It fit well enough that I put it in my suitcase for my trip. Size 16w- still had the tags on it. I don't know if I will actually wear it, but I could if I wanted to.

Week 1: 177.7
Week 2 177.8
Week 3: 176.4
Week 4: didnt weigh
Week 5: 175.4
Week 6:
Week 7:

so i havent lost a whole lot but at least i'm moving in the right direction... i just started using fit day yesterday. i got curious about it hearing someone mention it on here. i love it. it really puts things into perspective for me. i can consume about 1.672 but i am trying to stay under that. i consumed 1203 and burned 2742 so i think i'm doing good.

okay so this first one will just be my goals

W: 4.4 l a day
E: >3 hours + 30 day shred everday
E: NO EXTRAS. stick to the calorie plan!
D: 22 days left, but today is just one. one day

i will update with my actual erm.. weed info tomorrow night!
