DIS Ladies Only Meet 2006 Weight Loss Challenge - Starts March 28

[AdventurerKat]

All right ladies, here's a question for you. What is one non food reward you can give yourself for trying to lose weight this week and be healthier this week? Mine is going to be instead of cleaning the house when I get home tonight, I am going to pamper myself...shave and moisturize legs, face mask, toenail polish...the works. I want to feel good about how I look and I know that will help me have more confidence in myself!
Sarah

I like this idea Sarah.

I think I am going to take time out of my evening for a nice long hot bubble bath. DH can watch the boys.

 

[sahbushka]

That sounds like a great plan! Ok, so who else is going to treat themselves, and in what way?
Sarah

Okay I figured it out. I exercised last night and my body went into shock and that is why I have a migraine today.

I guess I must take this healthy stuff slowly, oh so slowly.

better slowly than not at all.

So does everyone else have a beautiful day where they are as well? It is gorgeous out! Speaking of taking it slowly...I think I might go outside on my lunch break...not to do any excersize, but just to be outside...I guess that's a step in the right direction!

Yes it is a beautiful day here too and I would go out but the sun hurts my eyes and not in the

way. It's supposed to be in the low 80's by Friday, I can't wait.

 

[AdventurerKat]

If the bus is running on time today, i will get off a stop or two early for a little bit of extra walking. Of course its a nice day here too!

 

[sahbushka]

80's?!?! Oh my gosh, I live in NW washington state and here we just hope it gets up to 60 before july!

By July we will be like this.

The humidity gets really bad and we will spend all our time wishing it was like this again.

Just checking in.
Gained 6 pounds in one week.
I went from 286 to 284 to 290.
Hey if I keep going maybe I'll break 300.
Off to PM Kat and jump off my roof.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

 

[sahbushka]

Beth I am so sorry about your gain! Keep trying, though, you can do this!

I gave you my thoughts on that in my PM. Its o.k. Beth. Keep trying.

I tell you I am starving right now but I am just going to go suck down some more water. I can make it through this until dinner dang it!

Way to go! I know, I feel the same way today...I have had 5 bottles of water so far trying not to eat! We are doing Taco Del Mar for dinner, though, so that will be worth it!

[AdventurerKat]

I just want to thank everyone for PM ing their weights today. I got you all down. I know a couple of you have had a disappointing week but its going to get better.

 

[AdventurerKat]

Oh yeah. I was curious on ways that people get their sweets fix. I like fruit but its not a treat to me. So I usually have a fat free jello pudding or a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich. I know the Skinny Cow's were 2 pts on WW, I can't remember on the pudding but I think it was the same.

What do you have??

 

[JennaTX]

Okay ladies, I have not been posting much over here. I have not really been trying that hard. I have changed my eating habits, but I am still not exercising, at all. And exercise is the key for me to loose weight. I am going to try and kick it into gear. I have nothing planned for tomorrow, so I have no excuse for not going to the Y.

Ladies who have lost weight this week, way to go, I am very proud of you and I know how hard it is!

Ladies who like me either did not loose any or gained, we just have to keep trying. Don't let this weigh in be our excuse to just say "forget it"!

I am going to try and post over here more often, that way the guilt factor will kick in if I am not doing well!

 

[2BigKIdz]

Mac, I am so sorry you are leaving us! We'll catch up on the other thread. I had a....are you ready for this...4 lb loss this week! That means 6 in the past 2 weeks and 24 in the past month and a half to 2 months! I feel pretty good about that! And now I feel like I have a chance to make it to my personal goal of under 200 by my class reunion in July! I currently weigh 226...a heck of a lot better than 250! Good work ladies! I know this next week will be even better for a lot of you. I really feel like we are finding our groove, ya know?
Sarah

That's awesome Sarah! You must be so proud! Keep up the good work!!!!

 

[2BigKIdz]

2BigKidz, what are you going to school for? I'm working on my masters in secondary ed, and I've got a ton of work to do by the end of the month too. Let's try not to stress eat!

Business, right now I'm just working on getting enough credits to transfer to UVA. I have been slacking since Spring Break now have to bust my you know what to get caught up. Just finished a paper so I'm taking a break before I start back in. Good luck to you on school work and losing weight!!!

 

[2BigKIdz]

Before I tell about my weigh in I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for your encouragement and support. You just have no idea how much it helps me and motivates me to keep getting up every morning. Thanks for being there!

Okay, so who wants to sing the Hallelujah chorus with me? I lost 2lbs. this week! I'm so happy.

It seems like every day at work someone new is asking me if I've lost weight so it's nice that now I can tell them, why yes, I sure have!

Congratulations to 2BigKIdz and Kat on your losses!

Mac, why are you leaving? I don't want you to go.

Everyone have a great day, I've got a busy one ahead of me, first stop gym!

Great job! I knew it was just a matter of time before the scales show what everyone else is noticing. Keep up the good work!
