Disneyland Divas: Working out, getting healthy and thin in 2010!!

[wendylady36]

I'm not too happy with the choices I made with food today. It seems like I ate a lot, but I think it's just because I had two extra small snacks today.

Did a walk/slow jog for 30 minutes, the elliptical for 5 minutes (not use to that one at all) and I used the Wii Fit for 16 minutes.

I don't mind so much when the Wii board says, "OH!" but when it says, "THAT'S OBESE!" that's when the problems start. It informed me that it had been 126 days since I last used it. Good news is that I lost 6.6 lbs in those 4 months.

I hope everyone had a great day!

OMG - O-M-G!!! The scale was really ugly this morning! I had not weighed in months and wow! I have gained 35lbs. since I met Bob...geez! He's probably wondering what he's gotten himself into! My goal is to weigh what's on my drivers license again! (When I got my newest license I could actually tell the truth and feel good about it!)

I did ok today. I had oatmeal for breakfast and then we had left over Panda Express in the fridge that was just calling my name so I ate it for lunch...3 pieces of Orange Chicken and half a serving of fried rice, then for a snack I had grapes and an apple. I put it all in the WW tracking website which is what I really need.

I didn't get any exercise in today. Work was just crazy which I know is not an excuse and now I am honestly just too lazy to go out and walk. But for tomorrow I just marked out an hour for lunch in my Outlook and I am going to go walk!! Keep me to it, y'all!

It's because you're in love. Being in love = weight gain.

Yay for 6.6 pounds!

I don't like the Wii fit anymore. . . ever since it told my 9 year old son that he's OBESE, it has sat in the corner. Bad Wii Fit!!!

Aw, he loves you and I doubt he even notices. Through all my weight gains, Ruben never once stopped telling me how good I look and ummmm, wanting to watch tv. Even when I was down on myself, he never was. I'm sure Bob is the same.


But as we all know this is something we must do for ourselves. And we will!!

My choices today weren't the best. I did stay at 1200 calories, but they were crappy ones. Junk food.

Tomorrow is a new day, new choices. We can do it!!!

 

[sahbushka]

So far so good today....of course it is only 706am! It's going to be a good one except the part where I have to go to my weigh in. I have worked hard to undo the damage from nye but I don't think I got all the way there what with a visit from aunt flo and all. Hope everyone has an op day and don't forget to drink your water!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Good job to everyone who is doing their best to try and eat right and doing some exercise. Every little bit helps! Look at it this way, if you are are conscious of what you are eating then it is MUCH better than just eating away and NOT paying attention. BELIEVE me. You would be AMAZED at how quickly the calories add up when you are not paying attention.

I have always journaled my food when I am "dieting" although I NEVER say I am on a diet but rather call it a lifestyle choice and I don't ever actually eat "diet" foods. I just watch how many calories I take in in a day. Obviously you can eat a LOT more healthy foods than NON healthy so it certainly makes much more sense to eat a lot of good healthy fruits and veggies and lean meats than junk food but I also don't believe in deprivation diets because they NEVER work. They almost ALWAYS lead to binges. I think everything in moderation is the key!

I have managed to lose weight many times simply by cutting back and I have never had to give up anything. The only reason I EVER gain anything back is when I get lazy and don't stick to my plan but that is my own fault and usually a result of stress or underlying factors in my life that keep me from staying on track.

Anywho I plan to do a light workout today. Yesterday I did my 2 mile walk tape and today I will probably do my strength training but take it easy so as not to hurt myself.

Good luck to everyone. You are all doing awesome!!

3 POUND LOSS TODAY!!

Whew, that's more like it! Yeah, yeah, I know it's mostly water, but I'll take it! I looked back at my previous notebook where we kept track of our daily weigh-ins, and I have never, ever started the diet this high in weight. I am 10 lbs heavier than when I started this weight loss program the last 2 times. Just gives me incentive to keep on goin!

I want to be down to 155, and I started at 178.5. Ouch, that was hard to write. I hope to be in the 160's come Maui time.

Gotta find some time to do inside aerobics today since it's another typical Pacific Northwest day out there.

Have a great one, ladies!

 

[4fosterkids]

whew...I finally made it over here! Way to go girls...it is very motivating to read the first 5 pages already! YAY for any kind of weight loss!
I do not own a scale, but last time I weighed at a doctors appt I was 159. I really would love to lose 20 lbs. I have hovered around the 150-160's for 10 years easy! I'm not so much focused on the number as how I look and feel. I hate my stomach, butt and floppy arms and when I see a picture from the back and it shows back fat rolls...ugh!! I hate that alot too!
My main focus is on eating better and moving more...period! I find it really hard to eat enough fruits & veggies, so that is my main push right now. I grocery shop twice a month (big load), but will need to do a fruit & veggie run weekly now to keep it stocked & fresh. I love fruits & veggies, but if they aren't around, I'll reach for something else. I rarely drink soda anymore..once in a while if we go out to eat, a coke sounds good, but its usually water w/ lemon. I used to be a slim fast addict. I drank slim fast twice a day and had a snack bar and then ate dinner. I lost a few lbs here and there, but after 5+ years, I had a really hard time returning to eating food again....it was crazy. I still think I would reach for one if I had them in my fridge.
Last year I found out I was hypothyroid and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease which is an autoimmune thyroid disorder. I also have severe iron defieciency and now have to take iron 3 times a day...this is different then anemia (which I did not know) I have genetic heart disease and take Vytorin and aspirin daily for that. Luckily my cardiologist says my heart is doing fine and my numbers are really good. Last year was a sucky year for me medically with all of the above. So I have really tried to focus on good health since then. It is hard at times and can be hard to fit in, with busy schedules...but we must take care of ourselves girls!!!
I went from taking a multi vitamin daily to taking 6-9 pills daily

So now I'm off to work out with my pilates tape and drink some water!
Thanks for this thread!! I feel like you are all watching me now....just don't yell at me like Jillian from the biggest loser...she scares the hell out of me!! LOL

So far, so good for me. I took a 20 minute walk yesterday, and then went shopping at Safeway, Costco and Restaurant Depot, so lots of walking/lifting there. Drank 72 oz of water, had a pb&j on whole wheat toast for lunch and 2 yummy grilled fish tacos for dinner. I did, however, start my day with a breakfast of a piece of fudge. Oops! Today I had a bowl of Special K Blueberry cereal. Pretty tastey!

 

[mommaU4]

Kelly, I don't believe in deprivation either. Most anything you are craving can be modified to be more healthy. Nothing is really off limits for me. I just need to watch how much I eat and how I prepare it.


Callie, whoo hoo! 3 pounds gone!!!


Jill, good to see you! Sorry for all the health issues you've had. It's no fun at all, but it sounds like you've got things under control, are seeing your doctors and making good choices for you now.


Tina, good for you on walking and drinking all that water.


Sarah, good luck with the weigh in. I'm suree it'll be fine.




Everyone else, have a good healthy day!!!

Great job! I lost 1.4 pounds in 1 day!! Yeah, water weight, I know, but same as you, I'll take it!! Did my Wii Fit for 30 minutes today, only did aerobic exercises. Tomorrow it's back to the elliptical machine and soloflex.

Looks like a good start for everyone!

I feel like I'm accountable to someone now, with all you ladies on here. Before, it didn't really matter if I did or didn't lose what I wanted to. Now it does! Especially since I'll be seeing most of you next month!

 

[mommaU4]

I just tried on some clothes to see what I'm gonna wear this weekend out with Amy, Jane and Theresa. Uhhhh, yeah. Nothing fits!!!!!!

Think I can lose 20 pounds by Friday??


Oh well. So far today, so good.

 

[sahbushka]

Good luck with that Beth.

I am doing ok today but the lunch I brought was not fun. It was a tomato vegetable soup and I ended up throwing all the broth away...it was icky. Hope everyone is doing well and drinking their water! I have my meeting tonight so will not be working out but will be going to the gym tomorrow barring any last minute overtime at work.

IS IT DINNER TIME YET????

I'm STARVING!!!

So far today I have had eggs w/shredded brussell sprouts (was delicious, btw), a banana, and for lunch a pinto bean bowl with taco meat, cabbage, avocado and salsa.

I'm running out of veggies and did I mention I'M STARVING???!!!!! Guess I'll make a cupa tea. . .

 

[sahbushka]

Sounds yummy! I have had a chewy granola bar, a cheese stick and part of a can of tomato vegetable soup that was awful. I am getting pizza after I weigh it! I love it when I have a bunch of extra points at the end of the day and can get something tasty without feeling guilty! In case anyone is wondering. 1 Little Ceasars hot and ready pepperoni pizza is about 50 points total. Divide those amongst the number of slices and it comes out to 5 to 7 points a slice! Very doable!

Ladies- I am new to this thread and I am looking forward to being a part of it. My goal is to lose 10 lbs before our March 5th drip (March 7th cruise on Wonder) - I managed to lose about 6 of those pounds before the holidays to get into a rather small black dress but then I enjoyed myself over the holidays. I only began yesterday as I continued to "enjoy" the weekend. So far so good though - I have gotten up and out to the gym both days at 5 am and the eating is going okay. I am not counting calories but I am giving up diet soda and chips (my fav are salt and vinegar). i am also trying really hard to eat more fruit. So good luck to us all.....and thanks.
Jackie

 

[mommaU4]

Callie, I'm hungry too!! And it's only 4:00. Worst part is, I over ate at lunch, and now have to really cut back tonight to stay within my calorie count.


Jackie, welcome to the thread!! Congrats on hitting the gym. That's impressive. And good luck on giving up the soda. I'm addicted to diet Pepsi and it's so hard to go without!

 

[kelmac284]

Afternoon all! Sounds like everyone is doing great!

Beth I SO know how you feel. I haven't even ATTEMPTED to put on some of my jeans and some of the others are pretty tight. EEK! I HATE that uncomfortable feeling. BLEH! But we are going to be feeling great soon! I know it!

Yesterday mom and I went to the salad bar which I LOVE cuz I can actually eat healthy and it tastes good!! Then last night I had my pasta and even though I don't do my OFFICIAL weigh ins till Mondays I always weigh myself daily just to make sure I am not going nuts and I KNOW that you can go up or down on a daily basis and it doesn't really mean much but at least for now I was still the same which at least made me "mentally" feel good I will take the same over going up!

This morning I was good and had a small bowl of low sugar oatmeal. And as always have been drinking my water all day. I had a very small serving (about 1 cup) of leftover spaghetti for lunch and I am making a carne asada, some type of veggie and probably rice for dinner. I did my belly butt and thigh strength training tape and it kicked my butt! WHEW! Man I have gotten out of shape! When Shane gets back to working full time I want to get a wii fit. I have all my tapes but I want something different.

Anyway keep up the good work everyone!

 

[grizbuzz]

OMG! We have had more posts on this thread in the last few days than we had on our last thread in like three months. Woohoo ladies!!

After two weeks of eating and not exercising, I made it to a gym this morning. Gyms are so busy in January! Anyway, I felt pretty pathetic -- couldn't do cardio for more than 25 minutes, couldn't do a push up and kept noticing that tire around my belly. How come it takes so long to get fit, but my body turns to jello so quickly. Anyway, good news is that the exercise at least was a mental pick up and I feel so much better energy wise.

I have not stepped on a scale since September and have no intention of stepping on one. Not yet. Just trying to get back into the swing of things for healthy living right now and I'll worry about the scale a little later.

Good luck everyone!!! You can do it!!!

 

[BillyFan]

I think my problem is that I wait too long to eat, so then I over-eat. I tried to start the day off right with some cereal, but then I started working and just picked as I was cooking. I think I had 2 meatballs, and that was it until I was doing my deliveries this evening. I have some of those mini candy canes in my car, so I had one. Then I did some shopping at Trader Joes, and it was about 5:00, so I just had to get those Peppermint Joe Joes (pretty much oreos with crushed candy canes mixed in the filling). I hope you are all pround of me when I say that I stopped myself at about FIVE COOKIES!!!!!! Well, I came home, made dinner (pork chops, rice and green salad).
Now back to work!
