Losing weight for Mickey

[wynntx]

I have sadly put on 7.5 lbs over the past 4 weeks since I stopped my diet and quit exercising. (I got plantar fascitiis, so that stopped the walking). I had lost 44lbs over a year, but I went on vacation and got lazy and indulged and then fell completely off the diet wagon. I was feeling discouraged, but y'all have given me the push I need to get back on my diet and try to stay within my acceptable weight range. I'm going to try and get back on the acceptable things to eat plan today! Thanks everyone.

I tried Food Lovers Diet and gained 4 pounds, so I know how you feel. Talked to a friend who gained on it too so I don't feel as bad. My DH and I are putting together my new treadmill tonight. I plan to use it daily, at least 5 days per week. I have 3 months and hope to lose 20 pounds at least. Good luck!

I hit another mini goal of 5 % from my first 10 loss, my next mini goal is 20 lbs which is just one away (I lose SOOOOO slowly I celebrate all my mini goals!). After that, pre first baby weight!

goal: 148 (sept 30th trip to WDW) / 138 (nov 30th)

the last couple of weeks i have been much more relaxed.
still staying within my calorie range (1200-1550), cut back on cardio (was doing 40min 6x/week!) and am still losing!!!
and i feel awesome....which is so much more important to me that the numbers on the scale.

Hello, I want to try and join in on the weight loss. I want to not look like a "very fluffy" person on the tower of terror in the pictures for my next trip.

Age: 30
Starting Weight: hahaha I'm afraid of the scale, lets just say too much
Goal Weight: any loss in my book is good (It'd be nice to be a size 18 again, my pre two kids size I'm now in size 22s)
Height: 5'8
Exercise: All I can do is walking exercises (heart doctors orders)

I think since my oldest started kindergarten I am going to take advantage of that and go walking in the day time even if it's just up the road and back again every day. I also might try the Weight Watchers program again because I was doing great on that last year. I was losing close to 7 pounds each week without even trying too hard. (probably water weight)

How did you do it? I'm happy for you =)

I keep losing my motivation to lose the weight that I need to. Its hard when my husband won't cooperate and can eat anything he wants =/

How did you do it? I'm happy for you =)

I keep losing my motivation to lose the weight that I need to. Its hard when my husband won't cooperate and can eat anything he wants =/

i stayed between 1200 - 1550 calories each day (with an odd "cheat " day thrown in...but by that i mean 1700-1800 calories, not going crazy)
most meals i ended up preparing 3 different things....something for the girls, something for husband and something for myself. soooo frustrating.
it is extra hard not to give in to temptation when you are surrounded by it
to make matters worse...i work in a pizza shop!!!!! talk about temptation.
i learned quickly how to make "healthy" versions of stuff so i didn't feel deprived

i started out doing 3xstationary bike(20 min) and 3xstrength
within 6 weeks i was doing 6xcardio(40 min) and 3xstrength
i went a little nuts for awhile...hubby and the kids talked me down from the edge though.
so now i try to work out 3x week...about 30 min cardio/20 min strength.
experimenting with long walks (60 min)....looking forward to entering a "weight maintenance" phase and i think walking is a more sustainable activity long term for me.

i track on SparkPeople.com
as for motivation? i stole a line from my little sister (she lost 40lbs a few years back and has kept most of it off since)
"i hate running but i hate being fat more"
(i don't run...unless someone is chasing me with a weapon! but the meaning still applies!)

Checking in....this is always a tough time of year for me. I am back at work and the kids are in school- back to the routine of homework, football practices, and late evenings with curriculum nights at my kids' school and my job. So I often get sidetracked from my exercise routine and don't have sit-down dinners. But I am happy to say I have lost a pound since school started (about two weeks ago). I have tried to get back on the treadmill and walk the dog more. Also taking more fresh fruit and salads in my lunches (love them both).

SW: 183 (Dec 2011)
CW: 175
GW: 160 (Dec 2012) but really just happy as long as I am losing

Keep up the good work, everyone

my goal weights keep sliding downwards as i continue to lose...
i figure my body will tell me when i am close to a "final" weight by slowing down the rate at which i lose.
at that point i will switch to a maintenance plan and see if i can keep it off!

Only a 1 pound loss but a loss is a loss, I worked a lot this week and didn't exercise as much as I should have so I will take pound loss!!!

Checking in!!

I am down 7lbs in 4 weeks--i count calories and exercise (walking, zumba, a jillian dvd or pilates dvd 4times a week)

I have 29 more lbs to lose to reach my goal. I am actually finding myself to be happy with the change in my diet and exercise. I feel better and sleep better at night on workout days.

Now we are getting into the food months (football tailgates, halloween, thanksgiving-new years) but I am not going to give in. Today I made low fat/low calorie buffalo and taco dips for football tomorrow.

went to chic fila today and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a fruit cup with a water, my mom asked me how i do it and i said its easy..I'm done being fat! Keep going ladies!

Hi all. I'm headed down in one month exactly. I want to lose a few pounds before my 40th birthday weekend. I have about ten pounds of 'baby weight' left. |Not sure I can still call it baby weight after three years. Anyway, we'll be staying at Animal Kingdom and going to Mickey's not so scary halloween party. Hoping to have almost the entire ten off in the month. Doing Weight Watchers Points Plus. I became a lifetime member after the birth of my first daughter eight year ago and I find it works. Don't like the tracking, but what can you do. Looking forward to being part of this thread.

 

[alizesmom]

Took awhile to get started but down 4 pounds!
