My Weigh in results! yippee!!!!!!!
 

I ate the same this week maybe even a few calories extra on certain days! I added an additional 30 min to my walk in the morning. I'm so excited to report a 3lb loss for this week!!!! Iwas hoping to be at least 162 By Mother's Day tomorrow and instead I'm at 160!!!! I know probably next week there will be a 1/2 lb loss , usually there is a low loss after a big loss! but I am further along than I expected to be so I cant ask for anything more. Please PM me your results for this week. I havent recieved any yet :(

My results for this week.
 

I am not sure if you have this Gen but I have lost 2.6 this week. (I weighed in Monday the 6th).

I am so psyched. I just got back from the gym where I have started strength training. I have marked on my day planner to lift three days a week.

I have also mapped out a three mile walk and have done it twice this week with plans to walk it this evening and tomorrow.

Do you have record of my goal? I can't remember what it was. I am at 203.4 now. I have lost 43.8. I should got my 45 lb award and maybe go under 200 on Monday. Wish me luck.

GREAT JOB LADIES. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!:D

I would like to join this 4 week program!!!
 

I'm new & want to join the 4 wk loss!!!
:^: Hi Gen, I've read all you guys posts and I would very much like to join in on this 4wk loss. I'm new and in need of some much needed support. I happen upon this thread and thought wow, this is exactly what I need to get me back on track with my weight loss.

Anyway, I started my weight lostt back in Jan, 2002. My beginning weight was at 261 lbs. and today I'm at 236lbs. I'm must say, I'm very happy with my loss so far. I haven't really been on any special diet plan, I just cut back (a little) and started walked 30-45 min. daily on my treadmill. So far so good, but for the last 2 or 3 weeks, I'v slacked off tramendously.

Now even though I've been slacking a lot, to my surprise I have not really gained back any of my weight. I think because I was walking every day 30 min in the a.m. before I go to work and 30-45 min every evening when I came home from work for 2 months straight. I really did build a lot of muscle in my legs, thighs and arms (from using my hand weights while walking the treadmill).

Anyway, I'm ready to start back on my weight loss journey and fill your program is just what I need for my newest motivation. I'm just have a few questions. Are you beginning a new 4 wk plan or just continuing on every week. I like to start this week on Monday 5/13, but not sure if I'm coming in to a new month or later part of this month. Please let me know in a new post from you Gen.

If I can start now, my goal weight for 1 month would be 10 lbs. My current weight is 236 lbs.

261/237/140:lol:

woo hoo!!
 

:D I'm so happy. My weigh ins are usually on Sundays and Thursdays and this morning I was down 2 pounds- woo hoo! That scale just really didn't want to move lately. My faith is renewed!:angel: I hope everyone is doing well and has a wonderful Mothers Day. Hi Pat- Welcome to the group. Take care everyone.

good job
 

Good Job everyone on their success this week! I will start my week on Monday....and even step on the scale! I usually just go by my clothes fitting because in the past those numbers use to defeat my motivation! But all of you have really shown how brave you all are! I just seem to fluxuate between a 16 to my best is a trim 14. I just can never seem to get beyond that point. I know I just posted a 5lb loss but I have more over the long run I want to lose and keep off! Thanks for being here and keep up the good work!
Roseblush;) ;)

hi everyone

Congradulations on your weight loss roseblush. And congradulations to everyone else also. Happy mother's day everyone. talk to ya all later.

Congrats Grizzlyshick and Roseblush!
 

Hey Grizzly you are almost at your goal for the week challenge! I'm sure you will pass your goal by the 20th of this month!

Hey Roseblush is that a 5 lb loss for this week? Please let me know if it is so I can update the weigh in chart!
Keep it up everyone " You Will Make This Happen!"

I have a funny story which wasnt funny when it first happened! Well my husband was going to buy me one of those cute 2 piece stretch tennis outfits? Thats the only way I know of describing them lol. Anyway the guy who sells them knows us for a few yrs now. The guy hasnt seen me in the last few months so he thought I was still at my big weight. My husband asked him for a size 11/12 for me and the guy kept arguing noway "she is like my wife at least a 16-18! lol Well my hubby insisted.... I wasnt home at the time so the guy had not seen me . When all of a sudden I bring my car into our driveway and step out of the car. The guy looked startled to see me and now I know why lol. He was just speechless for a few seconds lol. After he left my husband told me why lol. I was like me a 16 ?!!!! I took it personal lol and that was the joke for the rest of that day for me lol. IT was mother's day and I had a new cute short jean outfit size 12! Which the waist was almost 2 inches too big so I took it in with my machine. My husband asked what I was doing to my new pair of jeanshorts? I told him " Oh I'm just taking in these size 16 shorts a bit . lol Well I still have a pair of shorts that I used to wear when I was at 194 lbs , yes a size 16 ! I even got to wear bigger than that too. But I saved them and they are hanging in my closet as a reminder of where I dont want to get in again. Everyone's asking me for my special food list or what is the miracle solution that is working for me. And I dont have an answer for them! I love food , because I love it so much I have found ways to cut out the fat in alot of myfavorite meals and lower calories too. If you arent willing to give up a certain food , then find a way to get the same taste as close as possible but lower fat ingredients. Where there's a will there's a way!!!

Weigh in
 

:p Well.... I'm refusing to weigh in this week! As I had a chocolate attack this morning, I realized that the reason my jeans are so tight is it's the begining of the bloat.... I hate being bloated for a whole week before TOM. So, I hope no one minds... I'm trying to avoid the "down in the dumps, so I stuff my face because I'm retaining water and my weight went up" frame of mind this month.
WTG on the losses though!!!!!
Oh, and Gennel, you're only an inch taller than I am.... I think I need to get walking more!
Erin

Confused
 

Gennel,

You got me thinking here. How are you figuring the goal? Are you figuring even if you gained the one week as long as you lost the total you said you were shooting for you made goal? I thought I had 2 more lbs to go since I had a 2 lb gain the one week.

1st week - 4 lbs
2nd week - 0 lbs
3rd week - gained 2 lbs
4th week - 4 lbs

Let me know how you if that is how you figured it I am confused, it so I am pumped but I figured I missed it by the 2 lbs I gained the 3rd week.

Just confused and thinking here....sorry if I am having one of those blonde moments my hubby says I am famous for (yes i am blonde)!!!:?:

And to everyone else AWESOME together we can do this!!!!!:cool:

oopps Sassy!
 

Hey Sassy! I just went back and checked your goal and it was 8 pounds, so far you've lost 6 lbs you are correct. I totally didnt realize about the 2 lb gain! I'll correct this ASAP! :)

history
 

Dear Gen,
I loved the story of the Mother's Day gift. You are doing great!
I will tell you a little of my history so you will know more about my weight loss journey. I am 5'3" and sort of a solid form even when I bear alot of weight. My top weight even after childbearing was 225lbs. When a Dr. discovered I had a severe thyroid problem. So with medication I am now at 192lbs. I would love to be 140 again someday but am not sure if that is attainable. I too believe that exercise is crucial to losing and maintaining weight loss and good health. I was doing better last summer jogging and working hard on losing and probably dropped 15lbs. which is back :mad: now. I ended up with plantar fascitis in my left foot.... so finally that is better now. Our battle of weight issues are so personal but yet we can all share in them and find help and hope in the story of others. So at first I just wanted to say I want to lose 5lbs. because that is the beginning of my steps to recovery....... trying to get 5lbs at a time gone off lost forever!
Thanks for the post that each of you share. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your helpful ideas, your achievements and even your disappointments.
Thanks Gennel for your thoughtfulness and help!

Hello ALL
 

Dropping a line to say that so far so good on the challenge. I have added more time w/the weight lifting and toning. I did only 2 miles outside walking today, but it was freezing and drizzle mixed with snow out there, so that was all i could take. I kept busy once i got back...lots of cleaning got done.


I had a beautiful baltimore oriole in my yard for 2 days running. I put out juicy orange slices for it. I should buy one of those nectar feeders now that i know i have them here. They are just gorgeous birds. :love:

~~~GRIZZ~~~ WTG on the 2# weight loss! You rock! Now keep up the good work and more will soon follow! :jig: Doin' the happy dance for ya!

~~~Roseblush~~~SweetPea~~~PAT~~~what is up with you guys? I need to hear from you on your programs.....are you out there journaling and doing the best you can? Well, we wanna hear about it all! so post soon.:^:

~~All the other goal-getters~~~Be strong and stay OP! You all can do this. Together it's much easier.

Wow, tomorrow is Friday already...weigh in Sat. I'll let ya know soon ~~~Gen~~~ what is happening there!

bye for now,

Thoughts?
 

OK so, I am trying to do it the smart way. 1500 Cal per day and daily walk on the treadmill. I'm 2 days into it and I already had a bad day. Just had a tif with my significant other and had a piece of cake. Ok, so far today I ate a bagel, coffee, and 2 pieces of cake. What the **** is wrong with me? Anyone?

Hi there JustMe...you are just emotional-eating...you will have those moments when things go rotten at home or whatever, and our first thing is to go feed out face...you just gotta replace that bad behavior with something that will actually help you w/the stress.. Like go out and walk around the block, or get on the phone w/a pal, or draw a nice bath and light some candles(i really like doing that one when i want to eat cause i'm tired or whatever...but not really hungry) I've been married awhile(over 25yrs) so we don't really do the big blow ups anymore. You learn that what you're steamed about is not something that is going to be remembered a year from now! So you must make your plan and get it in your head that this is what you are gonna do FOR YOU! Find a Way Of Life( WOL) that suits you, whether you need to cut back on sugars/carbs or just cut calories....and stick with it. Journaling it all is good too, jot down all the foods and emotions that go with it in a notebook. And post on here alot...it helps!

I hope you find some help in what i've just written! Be good to yourself! :angel:

Tragic news, sorry I havent been here in a few days
 

Hi Everyone,
I really havent been on to check the new posts and I feel really bad about that. My best friend in NJ called me yesterday telling me her mother crashed her car head on to a bus and died instantly. HEr mom was still pretty young at 56 yrs old. My head has been fuzzy since yesterday afternoon. ,I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still thinking about them.
This saturday is weigh in again. The challenge officially ends May 20th. That will mark 30 days so you can all weigh in on Monday. Im weighing in onSaturday to see if I lost anything this week and Iwill also weigh in on Monday which is the last day. I'm curious to see how much Ive lost in 4 wks.I hope everyone pushes themselves a little harder this week! We still have 3-4 days! We can lose at least 1 lb by then!

Hope everyone is well,
Gen

Gennel
 

Gennel- I am so sorry to hear about your best friends mom. I'm sure it must be very hard to take it all in right now. My thoughts are with you. I have been sick all week and have lost a good deal this week due to the fact that I can barely eat! Fill you in on my numbers after final weigh in tomorrow. I hope your friend is able to find some peace in this difficult time. I will keep her in my prayers. Take care.

so sorry
 

Dear Gennel,
I am so sorry to hear about your news. Please know you are in my prayers and your friend also. Just let her know any emotion she carries is alright. Take Care.
Roseblush

Ugh! I have not posted because I am not doing well. I have stayed the same (214) and I am not happy with that at all! I have been exercising alot this week, drinking tons of water and not overeating. I don't know why this has to be so hard!

How is Everyone doing? Weigh In
 

Hi Everyone,
Well tomorrow ,or should I say today is weigh in. You can give me your official losses for this month on Monday. Since that is the last day of the challenge. If we dont all get to our mini goals , PLEASE dont be very upset. The whole point to this is to lose it period. I will start a new thread again on Monday afternoon Called ( Support Continues, Another 4 Wk Challenge!)
Iwanted to thank everyone for their prayers. My friend needs them.

HeyDustcatcher, dont let yourself be blue. No one said this would be easy. But most of the time its "us" who make this so difficult on ourselves. Only we can choose to grab that creamy smooth icecream or a yogurt cup. It is that simple . IT may sound impossible . How bad do you want this? Ask yourself that question. Or do you wish this could happen. You CAN make this happen. ;) Be good to yourself ,feed yourself with love. May sound silly to read that lol. But I can tell you about me. I ate Mcdonald's at least 3 times a week. I love the stuff , but it was awful for my body. Ididnt have cheeseburger and fries! I had the BigMac, large fries, apple pie and coke. And that was lunch, and I used to eat every bit of it too! This can be as difficult as you make it , or as easy as you make it. I'm so glad that you came back. IT took alot of guts for you to come back . Now dont beat yourself up about this anymore and please say you'll join us for the next challenge that starts Monday!
Everyone please PM me your weigh in results tomorrow. Iwill also Write the final goal chart on Monday , so if you can weigh in again on Monday . Ya never know! You could lose 1/2 lb or 1 lb by then!

Night everyone,

Hi everyone
 

I was so excited I just had to tell you all I just hit my first inches goal for my waist. If you don't know my story, my start weight was 330 and my waist started at 58 in. These numbers may have been even higher because I dieted a little before allowing myself to check. My first weight goal was 300 and I hit that a couple weeks ago. Lost one more pound yesterday so now I'm at 287- 7 more pounds and I'll have 50 off!:D WOO HOO!! You don't know how much it means to me to have all of you for support and to be able to read your posts and not feel like I'm the only one when I hit plateaus. I hope everyone is joining next months support challenge to. If you are I'll see you there. Thank you everyone for helping me along. This is gonna be a long hard ride and it's good to know I have people there with me. Take care. :jig:

hi everyone sorry it's been awhile but i have been suffering from a really bad headache. Gen i'm so sorry to hear about your friends mom. Well this week i didn't lose any weight but i'll hope for the best next week. talk to ya all later.

hi Gennel
i'm new to this, but i think your 4 week challenge is a great idea, when do u think the date will be for the next one, i should be able to work it out but just in case i'm wrong.
thanks:dizzy:

Good Morning All:D
I stayed EXACTLY the same wt for this week, but when i'm so close to goal i expect it to go slow...but the challenges do help me. I watch things alot more closely. As i am not in any ww class anymore i need some structure somewhere, so count me in for the next 4 wk. challenge.

Everyone stay strong and focused! You will do it!:strong:
bye for now,

Hey!@
 

Hi Onedayatatime! Yes of course you can join the next challenge! It starts today! And ends June 20. Let me know what small goal you will set for this 4 week challenge. I think I'm going to try for 9 again!
Thinlizzie, I weighed in this morning and it said 157 even, then got on again and up to 157.5! Then back down again lol. Well I am not going to force 1/2 lb lol .Besides lastnight..ugh lastnight the much dreaded T.O.M arrived! After being a whole month late! So I know that might have something to do with it!
I'm gonna go for another 9 lb goal !

I'm just waiting for everyone who weighs in today to let me know this week's weigh in results so I can post the final weight chart for this challenge, also I will paste the link to the new 4week challenge

hi Gennel
i think i will be a bit conservative and aim for 7Ibs weight loss for the 4 weeks, it's so good to have mini-goals. I am on the WW points program but i'm doing it myself as i am sick of spending money for nothing!
Anyway hi to everyone and WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT
lots of love:)
