Well I am back again. I think I am finally mentally ready to lose this weight that I have been carrying around for years....I always wanted it gone in a week and when I didn't lose it, I gave up.
Well this time I am giving myself alot more time, slow and steady is how I am going to do it, big loses once and a while would be nice but I am going to be real about this. As the saying goes, I didn't gain it over night it won't go away that soon.
DH, and I are going to buy a stationary bike tonight and that will be my start.
I will not follow any eatting plan except the Canadian Food Guide. The minute I tell myself I can't have something then I want it that much more.
Any body with me. I promise, this is a full committment, I have tried and failed before but not this time, mentally I am prepared and want to do this.
I am SO with you. I need to lose 50 as well, and i'll be right there with you.
I have a bit of a time crunch, but I have set attainable goals.
Working out, eating better, and trying my hardest to get some mental support.
I know it's tough when you know you can lose the weight, but just seem to lose the interest/desire... I know what it's like to make excuses for why it's okay to eat junk that one day. I know what it's like to think up anything, any one thing to not have to exercise.
It sounds like you're in the same, or close to the same, boat I am in.
I can definatley help you out with the mental part of weight loss. I will be here for you.
What are your goals??
My short term are 180 by Xmas
I would like to have a better BMI by my 40th b-day which is Feb 25. Which is I believe is just over 15 weeks away. If I could be 165 by then I would be happy. I don't want to be a fat 40 year old.
How are you all doing???? So far so good for me. The store I went to last night didn't have my bike in stock so I will go checking elsewhere tonight. I am really excited about adding in exercise other then walking so I really anxious to get my bike.
Good morning, ladies!
My first official weigh in is on Friday.. I'm feeling myself sweat!
I've been walking 3 miles every night, and crushing 2.2L of water a day.
Steaming veggies, eating my oatmeal, and walking right passed the 5 pound bag of Peanut M&Ms that are next to my desk.
Whew!
I'll be out shopping all day Friday, so maybe I'll get more than 3 miles in!
By the way, I reccomment everyone stopping by a Sporting Goods store, and grabbing a pedometer.
The one I just bought, has steps/miles/calories burned/and a clock.
I love it! Well worth 20 bucks…
Bigbooty89 - Cool, where in Houston? I live in the northwest area.
Today is going well. I get weighed 3 times a week (rough I know). It's close to my TOM so I'm not expecting to lose any weight. The diet I'm on is kinda rough. I can't have any pasta, and can only have 2 starches per day (that's like 2 slices of 40 calorie bread). It all goes downhill from there. It seems to be working though, so I'm going to keep at it. I tried to do yoga from a video, but it is SO not for beginners. My hubby and I are going to find a beginner yoga class around here to go to. I'll check in later (after my weigh in ) Take care ladies, and keep at it!
Blah...I didn't make my weigh in, because I am just feeling...blah...I KNOW I've gained weight because of the "wonderful" TOM and just couldn't face the scale. I'm tried/depressed/sore/frustrated and just generally in a bad mood. *sigh* Maybe Friday will be a better weigh in day for me.
I need to lose 50 pds..any buddies
) Take care ladies, and keep at it!
