Does anyone else feel guilty about taking rest days from working out. I really enjoy working out. I work out 6 days a week. (I WISH I was that dedicated to eating right!) I always feel guilty the day I do not work out. I know rest days are essential just feel guilty about not doing some form of challenging workouts today.

ummm, no.

I also hate working out though. But it does definitely make sense to take a rest or do something relatively less strenuous, like yoga or a leisurely walk or nothing at all to let your body rest. I also think it must be good for your body because the next time you work out, it will shock your system in a good way. If you are getting in a good work out 6 days a week, there is no way I would feel guilty for taking a day off.

Popping and and saying Hello to you ladies!!! and gents...

Hope everyone is doing well... I'm got my hands full with Dexton who's 7 months already and Aniella is starting Kindergarten in a few weeks. I dropped 27 lbs right after the baby was born and managed to keep it all off so far. True test will be once he stops breastfeeding.

Lots of Love and think Skinny!!!

Thank you so very much! I'm listening to it now. Thanks!!!

Hi all! Glad to see everyone here doing so well! I'm doing all right myself. The past month and a half I've gotten into a good groove with eating right and exercising. I weighed in last Friday at 156.4, which is quite possibly my lowest ever adult weight, but I'll have to check my charts to make sure of that.

After starting this journey five years ago around the 240 mark, I've lost almost 85 pounds total. My original goal weight was 155, but I'm really nowhere near being satisfied with how I look. I'm happy, but not satisfied, if that makes any sense. So I'm shooting for another 10-15, and I'll reevaluate the situation then. 140 is the "ideal" weight for a 5'6" male, so that's my goal for now. I figure even if I don't reach it, having that number in mind should keep me honest and keep my weight in check. (Funny side story. I've been going through my adult life thinking I was 5'8". I went to the doctor to have my knees looked at, and the nurse asked how tall I am. I said, I really don't know but I think I'm about 5'8". When we got home, I had my wife measure me. Turns out I'm two inches shorter than I thought I was! Which does explain why 156 is so much farther from a good looking weight on me than I thought it would be when I started this five years ago.)

P.S. - Welcome to the Peeps Angie! I know you'll do great! I know this is completely cliché, but I honestly believe that if I can lose weight and keep it off, then anybody can. It's just a matter of having the right mindset and attitude. Just remember that if you only manage to lose 1/2 pound a week, you'll be down 26 pounds in a year. Baby steps are the key...

WOW!!! Congrats on the long race that you are winning. Way to go!!! And thanks for the encouragement. I really do appreciate it.

Yes, I do feel bad when I don't do something everyday. The bad thing about that is that I get a little down on myself about it and then it makes me not want to do anything for the next couple of days, so it is a bad spiral. I am trying to remind myself that it's the little steps and if I miss one day, it's not the end of the world. We can do this folks!!!!!

Hello there, I've spent most of the morning reading through all of your posts. It's so nice to find a place that will build eachother up. I'm glad to have found yall.

Haha, good thing I join on a weigh date...huh? I weighed this morning and will be starting at 208.4. I am happy at the moment because my heaviest is 215. So, I'm down right now.

I am trying to not eat out as much and am doing pretty good with that. If I do eat out, I try to plan my meal before going (by looking on the restaurant's website). I'm doing pretty good with that right now. I now need to get more excercise into my routine. I try to walk each work day for 15 minutes. A co-worker and I walk in the basement. We call it our smoke break. On good days, we'lll do this twice, but most days we only get to do it in the morning. I am also trying to remember to wear my pedometer. I'm working on getting 10k steps a day. Right now, I'm only averaging about 5k a day, so I have some room for growth there. Well, I can't think of anything else to say at the moment. So, I hope yall can help me stay accountable.

Thanks so much!

Angie

Despite the fact that I really, really, really dislike working out, if skip more than one day in a row I do feel really guilty. I normally take Friday's off. I'll relax my diet a little bit and won't do any sort of exercise. But if I'm not back on that treadmill or doing strength training first thing Saturday morning, I'll get really upset with myself.

Hey team! I have a loss....Woooo Whooooo!!!! I'm down to -3.4 pounds to 205.

That is AWESOME! Congratulations!

First weigh day in quite a while. I lost 0.4 pounds this week, to put me at my lowest ever adult weight of 156 even. I have now lost ~84 pounds since 2005, and am 16 pounds away from my goal weight of 140. It was actually a very pleasant surprise to lose anything at all since I had a friend's bachelor party on Saturday (local wing place - had a dozen boneless wings and a couple beers), and I've been staring at a 2+ pound gain all week. So while I'm happy about the loss, I'm sort of approaching this one with a little trepidation since I find it hard to believe that I can lose almost three pounds in the two days since I last stepped on the scale. But I'll take it!

Have a great weekend everybody!

WTG Aaron!
I am proud to report, I weighed in at WW today, and overall I was up only .2 since my weigh-in before the cruise. I know I had been up more than that, but I've been trying to track my food and exercise daily and it has paid off. Glad to know the melting chocolate cake didn't do me in.

that is quite a success considering you were on a cruise. I always gain weight on cruises...so many midnight buffets so little time

Congrats to you too



I did not weigh in because I forgot. I went to work and was rushed out but last night I weighed myself and I stayed the same this week. Which I'm ok with because it was that time of the month (sorry Aaron)

 

[ArielSRL]

Hello! Well I've been MIA for a few weeks b/c school started back - I teach first grade and we had to be back Aug 4, kids came back Aug 9. Been working 12 hour days, which is fairly normal for the first few weeks back. Hoping it slows down soon. B/c I have been working so much, I haven't had any time to work out, but I have been doing pretty well with my eating. The last two Fridays, I lost. -1.2 lbs, then -.2lbs. I am the type that will maintain if I follow the eating, but need to work out to lose...so again, I just hope work chills out so I can. And also so I can get back more often to The Dis.

Congrats to all on your weight losses!

 

[Wonders10]

Hi everyone!

School started for me as well, last week for staff only and tomorrow the kiddos return. I somehow lost 1 lb last week without really trying just because I was busier and snacked less, since I was at work and not home. I am ready to go full swing now though. I bought a cute notebook to write what I've eaten and their WW points values. I also made a chart to hang on my fridge. Every square stands for 1 lb and there are 75 squares on it - my ultimate goal, as of right now anyway. Every time I lose 1 lb, I get to put a start sticker on it and since it is on my fridge, I will be constantly reminded of how much I've gained and what I'm trying to achieve. Aside from how my clothes fit and wanting to look better, I'm noticeing things about how my actual body feels that I don't like and I know its because I've gained weight. So this is it. I really hope this thread starts coming back to life, because I don't like to vent to much to people I know at work about it - they turn into the food and diet police which I hate.

Good luck to everyone this week!

Wonders~ I love the chart idea! I might try that too!

Thanks...I also have my starting and goal weights on there and I date each square, write that weight as I go so I won't get confused if I gain or stay the same or whatever.

Okay so I thought it would be fun to ask each other questions and get their opinions on things. Maybe every week or every couple of days we could have a new question. Mine this week is about breakfast. I eat breakfast every day but I am up at 5:30 to get to work and usually rushing to get out of the house, especially if it is a daycare day for my dog (yes, you read that correctly )

So what do you all eat for breakfast? And what are your suggestions for quick, on the go breakfasts since sometimes I take it with me and eat it when I get to work, while checking my morning emails, etc.

I hate eggs so I have been eating Shakeology. It really is amazing. expensive but super healthy, low calories and keeps me full for about 3 to 4 hours. google it the reviews are excellent.

 

[Wonders10]

Duh, I didn't post what I eat.

On a really rushed morning, I usually grab a fiber one poptart (just 1) and bring along a cheese stick, fruit or 100 cal yogurt depending on my mood and what I have.

If I have time to fix something, I often make whole grain english muffins and WW cream cheese or AlternaBagels, which are low carb and only 1 WW point. Really good. Occasionally I will make a toasted waffle with peanut butter.

I like cereal but even the high fiber kinds don't stick with me long enough on a work day - need something more substantial.

Things change on the weekend where I have more time. One of my new favorite breakfasts is to toast 2 nutri grain waffles and fry up an egg and 1 egg white (in pam). Then I use the waffles as my bread to make an egg sandwich. It grosses my mom out but its good!
