hey Utm!!

Goals this week... plan... fail to plan, plan to fail...PLAN

Eat Less, Move more!!
Drink Water
Take vitamins, including calcium.
100 situps each day. (modified crunches hope to do this 3x a day!)
walk 3x this week for 20 min (reached my 15 min goal - I literally stand in front of the tv and move... much like walk away the pounds. I'm asking others that hate exercise to join me. As you watch a program, and feel guilty (or not Dr Phil, Biggest Loser) stand up and move - just gently walk while you watch. Or, during a commercial, that's less than 5 min - walk around the living room in and out the kitchen up to the bedroom... walk with me...

Anyone willing to take my challenge?

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. I had a high fiber sweet potato/oatmeal muffin that I make for breakfast. They're easy, filling and good. I know most of you have kids at home, so this won't work for you, but we (DH and I) try to eat our main meal around 2, and then a lighter snack or dinner. My downfall is snacking later on sweets! Going to try to not eat anything after 7 this week. Tomorrow is Christmas party lunch with our church group. It's at a BUFFET restaurant! Not an easy thing for me. Hope everyone has a good week.

I finally got on to post today after a very hectic weekend!

I have no loss to report for last week, but that is because I was only here 3 days!

This week I found a site someone else had recommended www.sparkspeople.com It is great because I can track my food and it counts the calories, protein, fat and carbs. It also tells me how many I should have for me to lose the 30lbs I eventually want to get off. Checkl it out if you need a "kick in the pants!" It's helped me!

lexmelinda....I found the avatar on the site you gave me! Thanks!

Nice losing everyone!!! Keep it up! I am determined to be a "loser" by Friday!

Hey everybody! Checking in after a good and bad weekend. Went a little over my points Friday when I went to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra with my dad . . . I did manage to avoid the burger and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich instead, but also had a light beer and 2 potato skins. Saturday I made a great veggie and fat free cheese omelet with egg beaters . . . And then for dinner had maybe too much of my whole wheat rigatoni with my special spaghetti meat sauce (2 different jars of Ragu with chopped onions, mushrooms, ground turkey, turkey italian sausage and meatballs). But I did make a loaf of lowfat pillsbury bread to dip in olive oil instead of my DH's preferred 4 cheese texas toast. Sunday was a little bit more cheating too, when I added macaroni and cheese and macaroni salad to my salad bar and grilled chicken sandwich at Eat 'n Park.

So I've started to make better choices, but the weekends and eating out are definitely a challenge !!

Goals for this week:
1.) Stay within weight watcher points every day!!
2.) Make it to kickboxing Mon. & Wed. and workout at home on Tues.
3.) Not give in to the stress of this week: one paper due by tonight, two more papers due Thursday, a group project due by Thursday, the holiday party for my work on Friday which I'm on the committee for, and one great aunt who's likely to pass this week (when I can't miss class this Thursday or work on Friday )!! Why does everything in life have to happen all at once?
4.) Not over celebrate at my extended family's Christmas gathering this weekend.
a.) Because this week from h-e-double hockey sticks is finally over!!
b.) Because we're Polish & Slovak: translation = honey baked ham, all kinds of unhealthy kielbasa, pierogis fried in butter and lots and lots of Christmas cookies and alcohol!!!

UM: I also have the amazing fluctuating weight! I woke up Saturday morning and had lost another pound and a half, but this morning it was all back !!

Hi Daisy!! How do you like WW online? You'll have to let me know how you enjoy the meetings as well. I only follow points, but don't attend the meetings or use the online tools . . . Not enough time or money !! That's why I joined here, for accountability. If I get stuck in a rut I might try the online WW, spending money is good motivation for me!!

Hi!

I like WW online but it really is not worth the money if you already have the tools to do it on your own. The meetings are a lot like this thread-a lot of support and chatting with other women (and men) who are going through the same battle to lose weight and get healthy. I like the weigh-in part the most at the meetings. I like the accountability of having to step on a scale in front of someone. 10 a week is a lot of money, but I look at it as me time.

Welcome zoegirl, i have a whole lot of weight to loose after 4 c-sections so join the group don't be too hard on yourself you are only 1 month out it took me a yr to recover from my 1st c-section so you are ahead whoo hoo.

Thanks for the encouragement Spongemommie. I went from being very active before my pregnancy to being flat on my back with morning sickness for several months during. After I felt better I went on what I refer to as the "root beer/french fry diet" yummy, but not very forgiving on the backside I don't want to get crazy with exercising too soon, but I am itching to get back out there soon since I feel good.

You have 5 children? WOW!! I have so much respect for you. And your family is beautiful.

I have also done WW online and had some success with it. Could I do that again if I am nursing??

 

[monymony3471]

My goals are: (like putting them out here, helps to stick too them)

Exercise daily-already done

keep the food journal-keeps me honest with myself

read this thread daily-love and need the inspiration

post positive things about others successes and encourage others when needed

Only weigh myself in the morning. (Baby steps)

Hi, I am not spongemommie but I thought I could answer your question for you. You can do WW if you are nursing. You have your alotted daily points PLUS 10 more if you are a nursing momma! I love WW!

 

[Kay1]

I'm interested in WW but I really don't have much more to lose. Maintaining has always been a killer for me and I wonder if WW could help there? I'm not sure about the Zero points for vegetables, though. I can plow through the veggies like you wouldn't believe!
