EASTER WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - week 2

[kg66]

Hey OhMom, just checking in! I had a great day, no cheating! I worked later than I hoped so I got to the gym when the high school kids were there fooling around. But I did my 20min on the bike and some ab work, all in all 35 min. Made a lite supper, and then out shopping, no snacking. Though it's 9:40 I'm still going to have my grapefruit, and that's it. Same thing tomorrow, gym after the kids are on the bus, work, and I'll check back on the mini challenge tomorrow night. Great job everyone, tomorrow is a new day! Kathy

I am "in" with those saying one day at a time - I made it yesterday and going to today too! Just tm'd 2 miles and did some stretching, tonight is H20 aerobics and I will work "hard" there! DH already has dinner planned - pork chop with brown rice, carrot and celery - so I will plan for that today to have for dinner.

I AM SO READY FOR THIS EXTRA TO BE GONE - and even with just trying to get back on track - I have more energy and feel better - can't wait to see just what I can accomplish on my to-do list when I really have energy!!

to EVERYONE for another OP day and cyber high-five to those who have lost - you are an inspiration

I'll be back tonight to say I have had a successful day #2 - see you then

Okay, I did my weigh in this morning and....I'm down another 4 lbs!!! Hope you don't mind me throwing a little party for myself...here goes....



Okay...I feel better now!!!!

So my total is 5.6 so far for the challenge!!!!


Keep going all you LOSERS!!!!! We're going to meet the challenge!!!

Well, I'm down another .5 this week. I guess slow and steady wins the race. That puts me at 1/15.
Thanks!

I'm down two pounds as of my weigh-in this morning, so that puts me at 2/9 for the challenge.

Had a small gain today, only .2, which I was thrilled with. I thought it was going to be way more. I went out to lunch today and used 17 points, but I still have 7 points left for tonight, so I should be fine. I really want to stay on track and lose this weight. My goal for next week is to lose 1.2 pounds and get my 15 pound clippie. I think I got the 10 pound one last september. I'm definitely on the very slow weight loss plan, but it works for me. I was I'm planning a trip for june to sesame place in PA and we had gone 2 years ago, so we were looking at the pics and I'm 20 pounds lighter now than I was then. If I can lose 10-15 pounds a year and keep it off, I'm happy. But I'm pushing for the 12 by easter!!

Congratulations to all who have lost this week!! Keep up the great work!!

Good luck everyone!! We can do it!!!! Here's to healthier and lighter days ahead!!

I have been doing la since December 30, and Have lost just over 10 lbs. The first 6 care off very easy, the next 4 was easy and now I seem to be slowing way down. I don't vary from plan and I'm down .4 or .2, I'm hoping my diligences will pay off soon. I try not to let it get me down.

 

[shellynn24]

Yesterday was my weigh in day and I forgot to post, oops! I'm sorry to report that I have not lost anything At least I haven't gained. Maybe it'll be better next week.

 

[Miandrea]

I am down 5 for a total of 5/20! It has been a hard two weeks but I did it!

 

[ohMom]

updated post #1 here please let me know if i missed your WI

good thing i just forced myself to sit down and update this b/c i was really really thinking about a snack it's been a hard two days -- i'm making it but it's been a bit hard i will admit. i.e., i didn't get home from some evening errands until 7:30 and hadn't eaten dinner! i had to break my 7 p.m. goal for stopping but then i was STARVING! i'm ok, i'm done now. after posting all the loses and changing you big LOSERS name from bleak black to a beautiful shade of ORANGE .........well that gets me to just make my hot tea, finish my episode of 24 and call it a night!

i did get my workout done today, and water in. i'm not real hopeful for my WI tomorrow, but i'm going keep on keeping on and look ahead for a lose next week!!! hopefully i won't see a gain

and for all those who are LOSING this week! you so totally from .2 lb and up a loss is cause for celebrating!!!!!

i'll start my day tomorrow with our focus quotes -- thanks njcarita! i need to read wisdom such as that!

 

[tiggerlover]

WOW, some of you are doing fantastic with this challenge....congrats to all of our losers it is so wonderful to read about your progress.

I have taken a weigh in pass tonight, so I am not weighing in this week. I have struggled through the weekend and today I darn near fell off the entire wagon! I guess I was soooo good during the holidays it just all caught up with me. It seems like every time I get within reach of goal I derail myself. I am hoping that it is all out of my system tonight and tomorrow starts a new week.

Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Hey everyone,

I want to join! Put me down for 10 by Easter.

I've been hiding under a rock - Well the WPASADI rock anyway. We've been so busy with our challenges that I haven't been doing too well weight wise. I've gained a few pounds the past week or two.

But, today is a new day and I'm ready to get busy and do this!!

 

[kaysmommie]

I'm only down 1 lb. so 1/12 for me. Last week I lost 0 so I didn't even check in. I should lose more after TOM this weekend .

there is no ONLY about it! you lost a pound!! if you did ONLY that for four more weeks you'd be down 5 lbs!! slow and steady WINS just like jayna said!

updated post #1 here

ok i'm soooooo bummed out -- i'm up THREE pounds! i knew/thought i'd be up a little but not three pounds! i had to change my name to shameful green

i have to talk to myself just like i'd talk to anyone here who posted a gain, it's just a number -- WORK THE PLAN!! i have been saying i'm working my way back into it after WDW but truth is 3 weeks have gone by. instead of recovering back to my pre-holiday weight i know have 3 more pounds to lose! i don't like this at all!!

my plan is to go to my strength training class tonight, i haven't been to it in over a month, probably 6 weeks. i'm not really excited about it but i gotta do what I gotta do

 

[kamgen]

Hey everyone! I weighed in yesterday and I am down 2lbs this week! I am pretty happy since I had some set backs this week and was sick and didnt work out as much as I wanted to.

Good job to all of you! It is nice to have this weekly check in!

OhMom- don't worry....we all go back and forth! You sound like you have it all together! Good luck and dont get discouraged!!!

 

[cmsnyder77]

I'm going to take an average of yesterday and today's weight and count a 1 lb. loss for this week. Brings my total to 4 lbs. lost.

 

[mikamah]

i had to change my name to shameful green

Ohmom- Hey you, nothing shameful about it. Just life getting in the way of our weight loss plans. Don't beat yourself up. You can get back on track and you will. It's so hard with holidays, vacations, and such to get back in the swing. You are such a great inspiration to all of us here, and always cheering us on. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a new day. You can do it!!!!!
(and by the way, I should be in the green with you, as I had a gain this week.)

Tiggerlover- hope you had a great day today, and your noweigh pass was motivating for you. Those last few pounds are so hard to lose, but hang in there. You can do it!!!!

Congratulations to all who are losing here. You are very inspirational to all of us.

Morning~

I have been reading about some great weight losses - me - the same - but I was fearing I was up - so.....................

I have to confess - last night just did not have enough dinner and when we got home from church - I had 2 rice cakes - I HAVE TO STOP THAT - yes - I know rice cakes "aren't all that bad" BUT it's the HABIT (my stomach was doing the Bob G rumble and I probably would have lost some fat last night ) but instead I went the, I really think I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING route................ all I can say is I am working on it..............

Exercise today is my H20 class - AND - I will come home - have dinner and be done with food for the night

Have a good OP day today fellow WISH buddies and keep up the good work!

 

[Machta]

What a fabulous thread! I would love to join--please put me down for 15! Thanks for all the support, ladies! I suspect there are many "lurkers" who are interested in this thread, as I was--we CAN do this!

 

[ohMom]

good morning and Machta!

thanks for the kind words, i needed those yesterday was good - i went to my Wed night strength class and i really didn't want to go! i kept thinking of everyone here and their success and i know if i want that too i have to step it up! anyhoo -- this class I do with my co-workers, and no body came! there was a baby shower for another co-worker (which i blew off, took a gift but truly i had to taxi my DDs) and i was the only one there. so i did 30 mins cardio and 30 mins strength/abs/stretching. whew......it wasn't so bad once i just got going. then i came home hungry too and had my planned cottage cheese; but like AEG i slipped a bit of the journal and had a few pretzel rods too. not the worst food, i didn't have the thin mint GS cookies, or the ice cream sandwiches

so here i sit, eating my egg beaters and trying to pump myself up to go back to FC for intervals on the TM. not in the mood! too much sleep i think, i could not get up this morning! but i'm dressed so i'll go here in an hour or so after my breakfast settles

TMI? sorry!

everyone have a GREAT DAY OP!!!!!!!
