Canadian DISer's Weight Loss Get In Shape Thread

Hi All ~ I've been so bad lately. But today, I'm back! I have to continue flooring my hall and plan to eat only veggies and fruits as a motivation! S

Sandra...make sure you eat a protein in their (like yoguart, a glass of skim milk, or cottage cheese (if you like this stuff) with your veggies and fruit....it will help to keep you fuller faster, and will also curb your cravings....
 
I had been really good Monday and Tuesday...until Tues eve. when I went to an Epicure party:sad2: She told me not to eat because it was going to be a full meal. Well I tried to have a snack before going but I was starving and went overboard...Can you say cheese dip :rolleyes1 Antway it has been a fall off "the wagon" ever since. I am pms-ing in a bad way but no excuse. I couldn't believe how out of control I felt. I guess I just need to put it behind me and tomorrow is another day:goodvibes

Just heading into PMS time and it is so hard to not snack during that time. And for some reason an apple doesn't cut it- I need chocolate:lmao: .
 
I'm at work....and once again, there is chips, popcorn, and cookies in the break room! AAARGGGHHH! It is becoming frustrating, but as I have been doing, I managed to just say no! It is getting really hard as it is ALWAYS in front of me.
 

I weigh in at WW tomorrow. I get off at 8am so will just go from work. Fingers crossed.
 
Doing better today, so far. Had cereal for bfast and minestrone soup and one of those granola bars for lunch. Going out tonight where there will be dips and dainties:sad2: I got on the scale for a pre weekend check-in because a friend and I are heading to the States for the weekend:cool1: I am actually down, so far, so that made me feel more motivated to keep off what I've accomplished this week. I'd hate to see a gain on Monday. :mad: Good luck to everyone for the rest of the week and I'll check-in on Monday:thumbsup2
 
I WANT TO PLAY! :yay: just found this thread and only glimpsed at the first page. i am now going to go back and read it from the begining but i want to get on this so BuMP. move over, i'm comming in.:cool1:

Yesterday was a BAD day for me. My DD was performing at Hamilton Place last night with her children's choir so we took her out for supper in between the rehearsal and performance. Now I know a plate of nachos was not the best choice for supper but heading on PMS it was the most appealing. I didn't finish it all if that counts for anything;) . Than when we got home my DS had baked a congrats cake for her. So we had to have a piece right before bed. So although half the cake is still in thr fridge I am going to ignore it as it calls my name. Maybe I'll feed it to the kids after breakfast and get it gone:rotfl: .

Everybody has their bad days and it does not sound like you went too overboard. You will probably be better at eating the good stuff for the rest of the week because you allowed yourself to indulge that one day. I find that if I allow myself a guilty pleasure like pizza or chocolate once a week I am much better at making healthy choices the rest of the time as I will not be constantly craving my favourites.
 
Weighed in at WW this am when I got off work. Lost .0.2....a little disappointed as I thought it might be more, but I always find when I've done nights (51 hrs) in the last week that I don't loose as much. Oh well better than putting it on. Gotta try harder this week!!!!
 
I'm down 1lb this week. I'm pleased with that since I stopped being good by about Wed. Back on track for a brand new week though.
 
Well after just reading the last 13 pages I think that I am gonna join this wonderful thread :thumbsup2 Here's my story:

My name is Jen and I am 26 years old from Sydney, NS. I have been trying to lose weight since 2002 and did lose 30lbs in 5 months on WW and then thought I could do it on my own and gained it all back!! Now I am stuck at 150lbs, which for my small framed 5'3" body is not good. :confused3

My main goal is to get fit & in shape and get my weight down to about 110-120lbs. My goal by Christmas is to lose 20lbs (bringing me to 130lbs). My BIG goal is by July 2008 for my 27th birthday and DH & my 3rd trip to WDW in August, so that'll be 20lbs more down. Bringing me to my main oal of weighing 110lbs :banana:

Now mind you I have been saying "I'll be 110 Jen by July 15th.." for the past 4 years...let's hope I can do it this time. DH & I want to start tryin to start a family soon and I want to be at my goal weight before we start so it will be easier to lose baby weight!

I will do my official WI's on Monday. I will post my "official" start weight in the am :)

I am so glad that I found this thread :woohoo:

BTW...everyone y'all are doing an amazing job and keep up the great work!!:woohoo: We are all beautiful no matter what we weigh..:cheer2:

Hugs & Smiles all around :hug: :dance3:

Way to go.:yay: Considering you're PMSing I think you did great. Did the kids have cake for bfast?:woohoo:
 
Welcome, Ice Princess...and best of luck!! OK everyone, it's been awhile since I checked in. I haven't been keeping up with the weigh-ins since we left for DW. Not sure if you are all weighing in on Suns. or Mons., but I will post tomorrow...and then we'll see how it goes this week. I am continuing to exercise 3-4x/week, and for the past 3 weeks I've been walking just about every day; so that has helped to offset the extra EATING I've also been doing!! Nothing terrible, but not at all as dedicated as before June. I've been status quo with the weight for awhile now, so I want to see some movement! This is my last week of summer vacation coming up, so after this I have absolutely NO excuse. Will check in tomorrow.
 
I'm back from my trip to States. We had such an awesome time. We didn't have our kids with us. It's amazing how relaxing shopping can be when you are only looking with another adult. My Dd(2) will be 3 tomorrow and she broke her wrist 3 days ago. :sad2: Poor little monkey:love: She's fine and adapting well as children do. I will be weighing in tomorrow. I did not bad considering we were away. Had fries and no desserts but a bit of chocolate and full fat microwave popcorn. I could have done better but fairly pleased with the choices I made in my PMS mode. We'll see tomorrow.

I think PMS has got to be the biggest obstacle for weight loss.

I'm sorry about your DD's wrist. It's amazing how adaptable kids are. I hope she has an easy, speedy recovery.
 
I'm down 1lb this week.

Congratulations!:cheer2:

Awww, sorry about your DD, hopefully she will heal quickly!

You did pretty well while on vacation. I find that is when it is the hardest to be good about what you eat.



I will weigh-in on Monday. Did not have time to do it today.
 
Hey everyone...glad to see so many are doing so well. I haven't checked in for a couple of days. To be perfectly honest, my last few days have stunk. I am not really feeling the greatest, to the point where I just want to curl up and cry. I don't know why I feel so down, but I get like this every now and then. I do blame it on PMS, except it doesn't happen every month, so I don't know why it happens. I take one day off a week from working out, and it usually is Wednesday. So, I took that day off....and it just blew the rest of the week for me. On Thursday, I literally had to PUSH myself just to do the minimum of my workout....and usually, when I start, I realize I can do it, and do it well, but on Thursday, it just wasn't there....again, was feeling really down:guilty: . And I knew Friday would be busy from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, and I was out and about all day and didn't eat great (not terribly, but not great). Saturday, I had to host a get together, and again, there was so much food, and again, I wasn't feeling the energy to try. I personally wanted a big bowl of chocolate ice cream just to feel better, but I couldn't even do that. I ended up eating TERRIBLY last night, despite the fact that I had tons of healthy food as options at the party.
I reserve Sundays for cheat days, as long as I go to the Wilderness center and run...but today, I couldn't do it....my tummy wasn't feeling great from all the yucky food I ate yesterday, and now I feel terribly. I know set backs happen, but I feel like I completely blew it....And today, I again didn't eat very well.
I didn't want to weigh myself because I fear of what the scale will say. I know I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but I literally feel like garbage. My race that I am so desperate to complete is in 4 weeks, and I will be so proud of myself if I can finish it, but right now I am so down on myself for not giving the training my 100%...I fear that I won't be able to finish it, and I have wanted to get into this race for 2 years! And I am not even CLOSE to being even half way ready for it...
Sorry for the rant....I literally am reading this again, and feel the tears building up....I hope I do better this week. I am just SO disappointed in myself and don't know why I'm so down on myself! Hope everyone is keeping up....Joline
