Ariel, I guess I am an exercise addict!

If I could only exercise, and eat whatever I wanted, I would be in heaven. I really don't mind the exercise part.

Also, I have gotten an incredible sense of accomplishment from taking up distance running. I never ever in a million years thought I could do this, but I am doing it and it feels great.

Then again, I would love to bounce between 140 and 150!


L, I had a pretty good weekend actually. Weekends so derail me but I managed to stay on plan both days. It helped that hubby worked all weekend. Sorry you had a bad Sunday but it sounds like you are on the right track today!!


I weighed this morning at 174.6, so I made my "be 175 before my Chicago trip" goal (I leave Wed)! Total loss of 43.2 so far, and I am in size 12s today and they fit.

I was wondering if this thread was still going?

Thank God it is!

Hi, remember me?

I have been running on the tread mill for the last 3 weeks and I've managed to lose 6 pounds. I was so happy to see some results from my efforts. I am not dieting, just trying to make the best choices out of what I have.

Actually tired of dieting to see that I only lose a few pounds to just gain it all back.

I just have to keep my mind in the game of exercising. I know I can get the support here! Again, thank goodness you all are still here.

Hi Monica, I came back to this thread too


Well I will say I lost 5 lbs (I forgot to post last Friday) but I hope I didn't gain it back. Yesterday was my birthday (turned the big 4-0 and at work they had all kinds of goodies and of course a cupcake cake in the shape of an ice cream cone. Then I went to Outback for my dinner and had a Blooming Onion and a margarita. Today back on track but I'm afraid to get on the scale.

Hey Laura!

Happy Birthday!!!

Don't worry about what you ate on your bday. first it was your bday ENJOY and second consistency is what counts so as long as you are back on the plan today no worries. Also wait 2 to 3 days to weigh yourself. those kind of foods have alot of sodium in them...drink alot of water with lemon too

 

[monymony3471]

So happy! I got on the scale after my 2.25 miles on the tread mill and it said I lost a total of 8 pounds in less than 3 weeks.

So so happy and encouraged.

Carry on!

Yeah Monica is back too! Looks like we are all getting back in for tuneups. Well Firstly....Happy Birthday Laura hope it was wonderful!

Well today it is officially 3 months to our vacation and yes I am motivated! I wrote out my shopping list of some good choices and reserached some great recipes. I will be joining our local WW tomorow evening.

DH has stress test with his cardioliogist and I am certain he may sway him over to my side of eatting habits. I will be going with him. I also figure at night which is my toughest time when all is quiet I will just type into my trip report. I never did one so heres hoping it is motivational for my night stirrings!

Went walking this am 2 miles. It was nice out very low humidity and will see if I can get Dh to join me downstairs with the universal and exercise bike heres to hope!

HAppy Thursday everyone BTW to anyone hoping my typing improved .......still cross fingered lefty typing!

 

[the Fidge]

OK so this week is off to a good start, counting caloires sucking down that water and some exercise! Made a commitment with a friend to go walking with me during the week! DS will start evening football practice so while he is doing that I figure I will go walk. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Whoo hoo!! You are doing so well! I have just been so-so the last week. Worked out a few days and then passed on it a few days. It is hard b/c I'm usually by myself most of the time in the summer, but this summer my 16 yr old stepson has been here and then my husband just got laid off a few weeks ago so he's around, so I see them eating all these chips and snacks and it tempts me and I give in. Also, its hard to go do my work out when we are all hanging out. Pretty much, bc they are around I have more excuses not to do the right thing! Stepson leaves Tuesday and I go back to work Wednesday. It will be crazy b/c the beginning of the school year always is, but I am hoping it will help me get back on track!

I have been "peeping" in and out of this thread since 2006 but just lurking since I had my son in 2008! But then I had my daughter 11 months ago and just started trying to lost the baby weight about 4 months ago! I threw out my scale awhile back b/c the top sticker layer was peeling off...it was all grimy underneath and super gross. So...that puts me at a disadvantage. I need to get a new one.

I do take the kids for a least 1, 30m walk a day...if not two. Even if it's 90 degrees out..that's the most exercise I will do. At least I am honest about it!! I think I have about 20pds to lost to get back to where I was before baby #1. I try to eat semi-decent but there is room for improvement. With two kids so close in age most of my "diet" consists of skimpy meals or missed meals b/c mom didn't get a chance to eat..you all know how that goes.

I'm glad to see so many familiar names but sad to also see so many gone.

Just got back from a nice weekend up north at the cottage. I did get to go running on Friday, on the road up and down hills. I did my usuall 35 minutes, but man did I feel the work out. I felt good. Very different running on the road than on the tread mill. I need lots of training if I'm gonna run a 5K. I walked more this time than ran, but it wears on you different.

Saturday it rained most of the day. I did sit in a tube and paddle with my arms, and today to took the girls all over the lake in the canoe.

I didn't pig out, but I know I over did it here and there. I acknowledged it and now back home and back to my exercise.

 

[HockeyKat]

Hi everyone!

Really nice to see some old names back!!


Chicago RnR went well. I finished in 2:49, which is much better than my Princess half time of 3:11.

Tomorrow I have a last minute change of plans and instead of heading home, I am going to San Antonio for the week for work. Whee.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Hi Peeps,

Like many other peeps have been doing, I have also been lurking on this thread, not posting. I think since I've been pretty much maintaining for so long and not making a solid effort, even after saying that I was going to, makes it pointless and annoying to keep posting about how I made a plan, bought healthy food for the week, etc. So I'm not going to post any of my weight loss plans, thoughts, ideas at the moment...I'll wait until I've had some success. But I think I will be posting and hanging out a little more. School will be starting and I'm also still working privately after school with even more hours and I think I will be very busy and stressed out. In other non-peep and diet news, I bought a new car this weekend! I said a sad good bye to my saturn ion, the first car I bought with my own money 7 years ago, bought a Honda CR-V. So far, after a day and a half, I love it.

Glad to see so many familiar names that I feel like I haven't read in years! Maybe the thread will really come back to life...to the days when if I didn't log on for a day or so, I'd have 10+ pages to read through!

Happy Monday Peepers! Off to a good start this am, walked 2 miles at school track with a walking buddy. Most folks don't follow through so it was great we did go together also got 2 c of water down and out of my way, I hate drinking water. Was good over the weekend lots of planning my food and keeping to it! Last night I did get up sadly and had a bowl of rice krispy cereal. Cutting down on my tea intake and making better food choices. Just have to keep motiviated the rest of the day!

 

[LMO429]

Good Morning Peeps!!!!

Such a nice surprise to see everyone posted and is back!!!! Dont be a stranger anymore. I hope everyone had a nice weekend

I leave for disney in 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so it's time to get serious about processed foods..I am pretty good during the week but on the weekend I let these foods slip in I think for the next two months I have to try to eliminate processed foods on the weekend if I want to see some serious results. I want to lose 8 pounds in 2 months..totally doable.

 

[monymony3471]

Getting on the tread mill right after this post!!!!!!!

I was the same way this weekend. I def did not pig out..but i did eat a cupcake yesterday and 2 small chocolate chip cookies..back to the grind today..i think you have to let yourself indulge a little bit otherwise you will go nuts lol

I don't want to feel like I am dieting. I want to be able to feel human. I just know I have to make up for my choices when I exercise.

So, thanks for the post above, I followed through and did 36 minutes. 2.45 miles. More running (24 minutes) than walking (12 minutes). Plus my endurance is getting better. I started with 7 minutes of straight running with a minute break followed by 3 sets of 3 minutes runs. with 30-60 second breaks inbetween. I did some two minutes runs in there as well. I was told its good to raise and rest the heart rate in bursts like that. Does that make sense?

I did not drink half as much water as Ii should have over the weekend, I have to get that back on track.

Otherwise, its normal again! Have a blessed day!

Hi everyone!

It's really good to "see" everyone that's made it back to this thread.

I'm going to Disney in less than 2 months and need to lose 10 lbs so that I don't have to buy all new clothes. I did walk 3 miles yesterday and I'm aiming to walk/run 6 miles a day at least 3 x's a week just like I use too and just as soon as school starts back Thursday.

Hope everyone has a great and healthy day.
