I'm on Day 4 of the detox and am down 6 lbs.!!! Today is nothing but bananas (up to 8) and skim milk.. gonna be a rough one! But tomorrow I get to have chicken. I can't believe how much energy I have. I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to stand up after 3 days of nothing but fruits & veggies.
Sounds great. I'm sure you told us previously, but what detox are you doing?
I am officially down 18.2 pounds since I started, 8.2 pounds since I started posting here last Monday. Yay! I hope the scale keeps moving that direction.
Woohoo! Keep it up. That's amazing progress!
Argh I think my scale is crazy! This morning when I first got on it, it said I had dropped 2 pounds from yesterday. I didn't think that was right so I got back on it, and it was up 5 pounds! That is a HUGE range! I recorded the higher number (which means a gain for me of 2.4 pounds, that is a lot!). But I'm not sure what is accurate?? It is a new scale, too.
I think scales are sometimes psycho. My daughter got on the WiiFit the other day and it told her she'd gained like 25 pounds in 2 days, and this is my 12 year old, skinny as a rail daughter. We just rolled our eyes and let it go. The next time she got on, it was really freaked out about her losing 25 pounds so quickly.
Today was the beginning of my 2nd week doing Turbo Fire/Shakeology. Im down 4.5 lbs and 1.5" off my waist from just 1 week!
That's great. I wish I was good about doing measurements. I'd like to know how my body is changing, but I never think to do them.
So I really need to get my cabose in gear now. We received a wedding invitation for some friends and there will be alot of people there I haven't seen since high school when I was oh 70lbs lighter
We are leaving for the beach on Tuesday, so part of me says it isn't worth trying to start anything until we get back. What would ya'll do?
I say start now! The sooner you start, the sooner you'll see results. It doesn't have to be dramatic. Just make a pledge to eat healthier, smaller portions and limit the desserts. That's a great way to get started, and then you can up the intensity when you return.
Newcomer here. I have been following the myfitness program too but I am not making progress like others are reporting. I started on June 23rd and have only lost 6 1/2 pounds. I thought for sure with all the exercise and watching my calories, carbs, etc, that I would have experienced a greater loss. I am a bit discouraged. I was 146 and my goal is 120. It was sure a lot easier putting these pounds on!
Good luck! I was so worried about not losing enough and then this morning I weighed in and lost another pound!
It sounds like we are having similar results. I have found that looking at any decrease as a great move. I started June 17 and I've lost about 9 pounds at last weigh in. I looked back and that 9 pounds is about what I put on since last fall so I think losing months worth of weight in less than a month is exciting. Try to find a way to put a positive spin on it.
Another thing I'm doing is recording my results in Microsoft Excel and I created a chart. Just watching that little line angling down makes me super happy! I watch the one on the Wii Fit as well. It might be small weight loss compared to some, but it is going steadily downhill and as long as I can keep that up, I'm motivated to keep on keeping on.
With that said, I've now lost my weight gain from the last school year and my ticker is actually recording weight loss.
I'm still doing the Body by Vi shakes and LOVING them. I actually was scared to step on the scale this morning as I had not exercised in the last 3 days.....I still lost 1.5 pounds! I am finding that the loss and those charts I mentioned above are my main motivator. I still don't feel like my clothes fit different or I look almost 10 pounds lighter, but jumping on that scale every few days and seeing it go down makes me want to keep on and do even better.
I ordered 4 new Leslie Sansone walking dvds. Tried the first one this morning and it was pretty good. I'm actually thinking that I'm about to get off the computer and try a second one tonight. We are going to spend a few days with a friend of mine this week, and I've already warned her that I'll have to put in my video and workout at least once while we're there. So glad that I have this group and the few of you that are using MyFitnessPal who have friended me to keep me motivated and going.
