I had a reeses fastbreak tonight

 

[wirki]

Morning everyone. I hope you had a good night. It is nice to see that we are all in the same boat this week.

I threw away some of the candy and part of a cake. I figure I can get rid of it slowly and my kids will not notice.

Welcome Nichole. Glad to have you with us.

Hopefully we will all have better days today!!

Hi everyone -
I checked in a couple of pages back and said Hi ! I haven't been back ! LOL ! This week already hasn't been great for me. First Easter then my Mom's birthday on Monday. The weather has been nice here in Colorado so both Monday and Tuesday I was able to get out and walk. This afternoon I plan on taking the kids to the zoo as well.
Don't forget to drink your water !!

Hi everyone!

I just read the entire thread (after eating two mini cadbury creme eggs and a handful of jelly beans) and I'm signing up! You all seem to be so supportive and that's just what i need!

I am training for a half marathon right now (as you can see in my signature). So I'm exercising quite a bit right now. My problem with exercising is that I eat like a PIG when I'm exercising. I'm ALWAYS hungry!!!! Last week, I was sick and wasn't able to exercise and I lost several pounds. Go figure!

Food is my downfall. Sweets and fast food in particular. I have such a hard time passing it all up. My hope is that if I am accountable to this group, I will be more successful in passing up all the yummy food!

My ultimate goal is to lose 10 pounds. But more importantly to feel better!

And it starts with stopping eating Easter candy!!!!

Hi I'm Becky. I currently weigh about 191 and my goal weight is 125. (WW told me my goal weight is between 116 and 134.) I actually don't care how much I weigh as long as I'm fit, lean, and toned. I don't want any fat rolls!

I've been trying to lose weight since my ex was in college. So that was 3 years ago this summer. I topped off at 205 sometime last year and have watched what I ate since then. I pretty much stayed between 195 and 200 since then.

My obvious New Years resolution was to lose weight. I weighed in at 201.8. My first weigh in for Feb I weighed in at 196, March was 190. I have yet to lose any weight for March. I have always had a problem getting past 190. I guess its a plataue or however you spell it. I don't know if one can plataue after only 10 pounds, but I have no other way of explaining it.

I'm joining because I need support in the work out arena. I know how important it is and I think I'd lose a lot of weight if I did work out... I just get so bored with it. I even change it up... and I'm still bored with it.

I do a good job at staying within a calorie range of 1200 - 1500 a day, and I do tend to eat healthy, fruits, veggies, lean protein, etc. I do once in a while have a lil treat or something like on Easter.

Here are some pics of me from our trip in 2006. I know they are a bit old... but I look pretty much the same.

Edit:
I went back and read through most of the posts and saw people putting up their mini-goals. Mine from the beginning of the year was to lose 10% of my weight... so 20 pounds.

Hi Becky !! Welcome to the group. I hope we will all have a great time supporting each other !

I am going to take the kids for a walk this afternoon to the park. I am sure we will both enjoy getting out.

My mini goal is to lost 10 lbs by the end of April ! I know I can do it if i set my mind to it and follow through with my exercise and eating right !

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey guys, hope you are all having a good and healthy day. I tried going out for a walk this afternoon but it was just too cold for me with the wind. Good thing though is that it was so cold that I jogged home and I was not dying upon arrival. I was outside for about 15 minutes, 5 of those were spent jogging. I know it was not a lot of exercise but it is better than nothing.

Welcome SwansloveDisney and Becky!!
This is a very supportive board - through both the good and the bad!

This has been a hard week. I've been eating pretty good the last two days but no exercise once again.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome Welcome to SwansLoveDisney and Becky! You are going to love this group! I know I do

So today I had to work at the zoo and I was in charge of the carousel...woot woot..lol...So needless to say I have sunburn on my face and one of my arms. But I love the kids so it makes it worth it! They are all so cute picking out which animal they want to ride on! I love it! I guess this comes along with the being a Disney fanatic and having fun just seeing how much fun kids are having!

So there is a thread on here floating around where people are posting their myspace links so I just wanted to put mine on here if anyone wants to add me if they have one.... www.myspace.com/holbol

I hope everyone is doing good! Today I got a grilled chicken breast for work and it was so tough I could of broke a tooth, so I ate some of it but most went in the trash. I don't feel like I am losing more weight this week, and I guess I might be slacking on the fruits and veggies so I have to pick those back up in my routine! If I could of skipped Easter dinner I would of been fine and probably not feel like a piece of chocolate here and there is ok..lol..last week I wouldn't let myself have any and this week I keep saying 1 or 2 here and there is ok!

Well I hope everyone is having a good week! Talk to ya guys soon!

I forgot to say a couple things in my first post...

My name is Julie and I'm 28 years old.

Here's 2 pics of me from August in Hawaii.

Hawaii is when I first really felt like I had started to let things go. When I saw pics from the trip, I was so depressed. It doesn't help that DH and his family (that's my MIL and SIL in the second pic) are all thin as rails!

I look at my Hawaii pics now and then to remind myself of my mission!

And to make myself feel better, here's a pic that I'm not embarrased of! It's from my October trip to Disney World. For Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party, my friends and I dressed up as the characters from the board game "Clue." Here we are on the Winnie the Pooh ride at MK. I'm the one in the back left.

Does anyone know when you're supposed to stop eating for the evening?

How many hours before you go to bed?

I read somewhere don't eat 3 hours before bed... or was the exercise? I just try not to eat after 7 pm... though the past couple weeks that hasn't worked out since I've been working short shifts and not having time to eat dinner.

Anyways... since vroom is talking about getting sunburned (there isn't even any sun here!) I'm gonna talk about my accident today also. I work in a clothing store and I was walking around straightening everything up and putting clothes back and I walk dead on to a T rack with my ELBOW... I practically spun it around.. I fell to the floor and yelped. Everyone came to my aid... It's quite funny actually. Its really sore and there's a bump there now.

Who knew working in clothing was so dangerous!

Edit:
Julie I know how you feel with your DH's family. My ex is a freakin tooth pick (as you can see in the pics), his sister wears clothes from the kid section, and his mom is pretty skinny too...

I always heard you should never eat past 8pm, that is probably based on a person who goes to bed between 10 and 11pm so I would say don't eat anything 2-3 hours before bed.

Ouch! I am accident prone and am always falling down stairs. It is amazing I have not suffered a concussion or broken a bone yet.

I've been sick since Monday, so that is the last day that I worked out. I met w/my personal trainer and he went over some good routines and stretches, which helps my PF. I use a workout journal and find that it really helps me remember all my sets and keeps me inline. I meet w/the p.t. every week and that is the first thing he looks at to see how many times I've worked out for the week and if I've been slacking he'll say, "you need a bigger water bottle today".

Thanks for the eating info. I am always so tempted to eat everything at night. I really need to stick with the not eating 2-3 hours before bed.

Ouch! Your elbow accident sounds painful! Totally sounds like something I would do. I'm such a klutz!

Thanks for the info. I really need to try to make that a goal for me.

PF = plantar fascitis???

It's great that you meet with a personal trainer every week.

I know what you mean about being sick...I've been sick to and it's been so hard to get back into my routine!

I hate having to drink a bunch of water!!!!

I found out once I stopped eating after 7 pm that I stopped putting on weight. That was a huge motivator for me.

I started a new job and I have to figure out how to work on making sure I take my dinner break before 7 pm... I know that sounds bad right? Its hard sometimes because I'm a manager and you get so busy and you lose track of time. And lots of times when you are that busy you don't even get hungry.
