Hi everyone - Andrea, I weigh in on Tuesdays. I don't have a scale so I borrow my friend's. If I had a scale, I'd be on it every day and then it would become an obsession with the numbers.
Hi to all the new comers. Glad that we have a good support group growing.
Hey Molly - CONGRATS on quitting smoking. You just increased your life span - feel good about that. I am working on quitting also... but I'm waiting to really truly quit until after anatomy and physiology class this semester because I am afraid that the withdrawals will divert my attention from my studies so I am only smoking about a pack every 3 or 4 days.
Have a good Sunday and enjoy the rest of the weekend....
Sunday already. Sheesh, can't the weekend slow down a little bit? LOL I swear, the week drags on and the weekend zips by in a flash. Not fair!
So are ya gals ready to make this week one of the best? Ready to start reaching those beach babe goals? We can do this! We deserve to feel good in bathing suits (won't catch me wearing one, yikes!), shorts, tank tops..whatever it may be. Whatever makes us feel like a babe! Rev your engines ladies the journey has begun.
Welcome to all the new comers, this is going to be a blast! The more girls we've got the funner it'll be!
Andrea, I weigh in on Fridays. Old old old habit, tried doing it Mondays but I always forgot! LOL So I just stick with Fridays
Hi Everyone,
I had my son's and husband's birthday party today and I ate cake and ice cream so bad I know it was just to hard not too. I stayed up till 4 am decorating so that it would be a surprise party turned out very well. We played pin the tail on the donkey and it was so funny!But I am very tired.
I weighed this morning I always weigh in on Sundays and I lost 3 pounds for the week . So that is good. I hope I didn't gain any back after the cake .
I am off to clean up the party mess now.
Have a good Sunday!
The weekend sure zooms by fast! It's beautiful out today. Not too cold. Spend yesterday cleaning everything. It was my "day off" but I think I burned more calories vacuuming every little corner of the house than I usually do on the treadmill. lol
Had half a piece of chocolate cake last night. It was my "treat" day, but it's more like a treat item than a whole day. I don't think I could ever bring myself to have a whole day of treats after working so hard all week! I have to work on letting myself have treats! I enjoy them but at the same time, I can't kick the "ohhh I shouldn't eat that" mentality. Last thing I want is to start obsessing ya know?
Weighed in this morning and was 212 on the dot. Woot! The scale had been teasing me all week with that number. Looks like it's here for good now.
A new week is here, which means it's back to working out for the next 6 days. It's weird to say but I actually look forward to it now! Tonight will be weights and cardio.
I just found this post and hope it is not too late to join! I have a plan but just need help sticking to it. I used to use my sister as my support but not ever having a problem with weight she was not the best help. I have about 20 lbs I would like to lose by summer and I know I can do it!! (think positive, right?)
Plan -
1200-1500 calories a day
More water
Walk 3-5 days a week - 30-45 min.
Not be so down on myself when I fall.
I do pretty good on the weekdays, it is the weekends that are my major downfall.
I can usually drop weight naturally in the summer, due to swimming and being outside "doing things" all the time. In the winter, I pretty much stagnate and wiat for Spring! I stopped smoking 7 weeks ago, and now i am at my all time high weight!!! I need to lose NOW, and also need to come up with a "plan of attack" for next fall. You see, when the pool is closed, and I no longer swim, i start gaining fast. Mid September to early April is my "DANGER ZONE". I love to lift weights, so may devote more time to that next year. ANy other ideas will be welcome!
oooh, I love the beach and would love to join ya'll. I'm starting back to WW meetings tonight and will be counting points. I walked the dogs 2 miles this morning and plan to get another 2 miles in later today. My goal is to be below 200 by the end of May (will get my official weight tonight but I think that will be about 20 -25 lbs.).
Hi everyone, I just joined today and would love to be part of your group. I actually started my "lifestyle" change back in January and have lost 12 lbs so far.
This year will be my 40th birthday (in May) and my 20th anniversary (in July) and my daughter will be going to university in the fall so it's definitely a milestone year for me. I want it to just get prepared for all these changes as well as make it the best decade of my life. (my 30's really sucked with a lot of health problems)
Howdy!!!! Getting a late start on the boards today. Too many errands too run and not enough time to mess around and play.
I see there are some new girls along for the ride. Welcome!!! Our number is growing, strength in numbers and all that jazz!
Many congrat's to all the "losers" here. It's awesome to hear such motivation and excitement from you all. Keep up the fabulous job ladies!
To those that are struggling keep the faith. I am right there with you, having a real tough time losing and this weekend I got real discouraged about it. But we must keep on, we're worth the work that it takes to get healthy! We can do this!
I am hoping that the visit with my dr this a.m. is what I've been waiting for. I've gotten a reduction in meds(which I think are causing me to hold my weight) so hoping that will be all it takes to get the ball rolling. I'm crossing my fingers real hard, cause I plan on working hard this week and see what my outcome is on Friday. Hoping for the best!
