Re: Weight Loss Group

Just a quick check-in! I've been doing pretty well but I think I'm coming down with a cold so I haven't really been able to exercise as much as I'd like to. I've kept my sweet intake to 1-2 days per week though which is really good for me!

Re: Weight Loss Group

OK, I'm completely starting over. Again.

I can do this. I will check in more regularly as well. Not going to do any "diet" persay, just going to make the lifestyle changes I have made in the past and have taken the weight off before. I just need to get in a new groove and get those good habits ingrained again.

Totally about mindset, isn't it!! It can be so hard to get into that place mentally.

Exactly. I've been trying to get back into that mindset for the last couple of months, I have done it before very successfully, so I thought I could just "switch it on" again. Not that simple at all.

I'm determined though - I will just pick myself back up when I falter. I am so unhappy inside my skin, I really need this.

Here's to all of us on this journey.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hey guys. My diet's been decent, and I've been doing tons of power walking. My bf moved to the city a couple of weeks ago and the last bus I have to take to get there is very unreliable so I usually walk the last 15 blocks. It's been great for my calves.

I haven't been doing what I would call "real" exercise. I'm a little annoyed with myself about that, but I haven't been feeling myself for a few weeks. It's been weird, lots of headaches, always tired, and I've been kind of feverish. So while I wish I'd been working out, because I've been doing so much walking I'm not too upset.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Meg - with all that walking, you are getting tons of exercise. I hope you are feeling more like yourself soon, feel better!

We are having tons of rain this weekend (we need it) but I am not going to let it stop me from getting out and moving my fat bum.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hi all! It's been a while since I've checked in, but I've been doing pretty good with exercise and stuff.
I joined a weight loss webgroup that sort of works like WW, but they don't have points, it's based on calories. It's very sensible, where nothing is forbidden, you just need to stay within your daily cals. Every kind of exercise counts - the important thing is that you move, not how you move! I joined this site two days ago after having been to try on underwear and I realize I am sick of having 10-15 extra pounds to drag around. I need to check my portions as I have the feeling I am underestimating them.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hi there! I'd love to join you all if I can?!

I'm currently 5'2" and 232lbs, so I can't ignore the issues any longer! I turned 30 last week, and now all my parties and celebratory meals are out the way, I feel ready to go for it. I didn't want to be a fat 30, but I was and so instead of being miserable about it, I'm just gonna take one day at a time and be a heathier 31 instead!

My downfalls are lack of exercise and wine, so I really need to tackle those areas as well as food.

You all seem to have loads of positivity and I'd love to share it as I know I could use some!

For breakfast I had scrambled eggs (3) with mushroom, cheese, orange pepper, onion, and garlic. Yum.

It went pretty well. I had an avocado sandwich, greeklies for a snack, and something else which I can't remember. I've been sick, so I'm a little out of it.

How about you?

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hi everyone!!!

I hope it's ok if I join this thread. I guess I'll brief you all on my goals and such. I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant and I've gained about 33 pounds so far. I'm 5 ft 3 and my prepregnancy weight is up and down from 95 pounds to about 118. I've been one of those yoyo dieters. My goal after I have the baby is to get down and stay between 105 and 110. Right now I'm going to limit my calorie intake to 1800 since I'm pregnant and I'll be brestfeeding that way my baby will still be healthy. I'm currently walking everyday and after I recover from childbirth I plan on running/swimming and strength trainning. I really want to work on firming my body and staying healthy. Since I'll be starting the 1800 cal meal plan tommorow, I guess thats when I'll start posting daily. Wish me luck and good luck to you with your goals!

Re: Weight Loss Group

A weight group, how exciting! This is a great idea to motivate each other to achieve our goal.

After reading many posts here, I decided to start a daily plan for myself.

What I've done so far over the past 3 days:

- no pop (not that pop was ever a problem for me, I never liked pop)
-drink LOTS of water (I've discovered my love for plain water recently even though I used to hate water cause it was so plain)
-at least 30 minute exercise everyday
-make sure I eat breakfast every morning, usually just fruits

I am 5"2.5 weighing 104lbs. I'm not really trying to lose weight, but instead, I'm trying become more healthy since I have bad habits such as waking up way too late to eat breakfast, eating right before I go to bed and not never exercising. But I guess we all have one goal in common, and that's to make a change in our lifestyle.


*hops on the bandwagon*

Good luck everyone!

Re: Weight Loss Group

"Hi, I'm SMMY and I'm a chocoholic."
Actually, I just saw this thread and thought it was a really great idea. I've been working on making something less of myself for the last several months. I'm just shy of my half way point and have stalled out a bit. I need someone to metaphorically kick my arse and get me going again.

I started back to working out at least four days a week again. I'm also back on my proper eating after a weekend of pizza and birthday cake.

So, um, hi everyone.

We're going to Nice next september
No need to say that I don't wanna look like hell over there on the beach?

My bf convinced me that if we take a walk after diner, he will massage my legs as a reward. The fact is : my legs hurt and are ''bloated'' because of water retention. It will help me a lot )

Re: Weight Loss Group

I just want to say Hi & I hope all you ladies are doing well with your diets/workouts...I have been really doing good...I still run/walk or workout at least 5 days a week and my weight is finally on track. I have my occassional slip days where I eat crazy but I try to get right back on track the day after. I am basically concentrating on toning at this time and just trying to be healthy and make wiser food choices.

I hope you all continue to do well...Good job Willa on the 5 lbs!!!

Re: Weight Loss Group

I'd like to join this thread. Im back to trying to get healthy and toning. i am 25 yrs old, i am 5'6 and i weigh about 148lbs. I would like ot bring down the pounds just a bit, but honesltly it would be great if it just came off from my belly and by lifting my ass back up.

Ive invested in this new dvd by Kim Kardashian, which is a ultimate butt sculpting workout, that im hoping will work out. I also have been going to the gym and doing ab workouts. and the difference btwn my past workouts and this one is my diet. I love to eat, but i dont want to feel i must give into everything to look like a barbie. i think barbies eat bad sometimes too. so Im trying to have 1-2 bad days, which consist of one bad meal that day. and workout 5-6 days a week for about an hour. i want to slow it down a bit after having worked out for 2 months. so far ive been trying my routine for two weeks now and ive noticed ive become a little stronger.

I'm 5'3 as well....118 is really not big or overweight at all for this height..but pretty ideal by most standards...I try to stay around 115-120...However if I was 95lbs I would look like I was sick. But I guess it depends on your frame...

My eating has been fine, but my exercise needs to be kicked up. I've got the craziest week, so you might not hear back from me until Sunday. Love you all, and congrats Willa!

Re: Weight Loss Group

I had brought food to work. A grilled piece of chicken with a very small portion of white rice and i put it in the frig at work in the break room.the maintenance guy decided to clean out the frig and single my lunch out and throw it out withouth asking or anything. hes supposed to clean out the frig friday!!! its WED!!. so he felt bad and will be buying my lunch tomorrow!

Anyway, I had to find lunch for today so instead of the boring salad i usually eat, i got a small clam chowder soup. thats it. didnt really have breakfast unless you count the strawberry yogart and tea i had this morning....so im hoping the calories i had in the small soup wont be that bad....

off to work out today again, only today im focusing on abs..ive been so focused on my gluts...i totally forgot to keep up on the abs and arms..

Re: Weight Loss Group

Today, two mini bagels with cream cheese. For lunch and dinner I have no idea, I have an exam in three and a half hours, another tomorrow morning, and another Friday afternoon, and I'm moving on Saturday so I don't want to stock up on groceries until after I move... So I have almost no food in the house. Lunch will probably be some frozen beef and barley soup I have in the freezer, and supper? I may go study at an all night cafe that has a kitchen and get something there.

Exercise.. Hah! I think not.

Re: Weight Loss Group

Hey guys, I'm trying to lose a bit of weight for the summer, prob about 20lbs. Mainly, because I want to wear daisy dukes.

I'm currently 5'2 and the last time I weighed myself I was about 130 odd lbs, I'm still wearing the same clothes (about a size 6-8) but I'm guessing I'm closer to 140lbs now, if not actually 140. My middle portion is pretty good, my main problem is chunky legs and booty lol.

Woohoo! I finished all my exams and I'm moving today. I've been running around packing all morning, so I've had a decent workout. My diet still hasn't been great, but once I'm moved into my new place I can focus on eating well again.
