congratulations to everyone with your weight loss. I go in to see my doctor and weigh in. I weighed at home yesterday so we will see how close the scales are to each other.

I walk 3-4 miles with a dvd leslie sansone. It takes 45-55 min to complete. And to tell the truth, lately I have been 2-3 miles because my knees hurt terribly. (Did walking in just socks....lots of strain to the knees because she does "side steps" etc) then I use the bean for ab work for 7 min. YOU CAN DO IT!! Build yourself up to it so you don't get hurt!

Does just plain ol walking help to lose weight? I mean I feel like I', making no progress but refuses to give up. I know that if I intend on meeting my goal I can't stop even when I get discouraged. What's everyone else doing for excercise and eating plans. I know about WW but don't plan on joong up again.

Weigh in!

Starting Weight:165
Last Weeks Weight: 154.5
This Week's Weight: 156.5


I gained this week! I knew I probably would. I totally slipped up three times (Daughter's Birthday, Husband's Birthday, and Husband getting a new job) I feel bad but I am also newly motivated to get this weight gone. I stocked up on healthy snacks and food and purged the house of tempting goodies. I normally do really well but all the eating out just killed it for me. Luckily we don't do it that often. Okay. Regroup-set backs are one thing, stopping is another.

I use Sparkpeople.com to keep track of what I eat. I like it.

Hey! I feel your pain. Good food- so yummy. I can live for a year with no need to go McDonalds but a nice resturant has me done for. I guess it is all about portion control

[PrincessKell]

sooo true!! I love to cook too, and baking! DD's sixth birthday is on Thursday! YIKES!!! We are making muffins for her class, a cake for her actual birthday for home, and a heart shaped skull and cross bones cake for her party on sunday. which I might add is at Round Table Pizza....mmmmmmm I am so done for the weekend as we are taking her up to the snow friday! So this week I will be trying my hardest to be great and work out like a mad woman , because I know I will be having some goodies..

portion control! I must have this tattoo'd on my forehead backwards so I can see it when I look in the mirror. haha

Well I only lost .7 lbs this week, but hey it's still a loss. I did miss 2 days of excercise last week. I'm gonna shoot for 5 days of exercise this week! Hope to lose 2lbs by next Monday.

Good Luck everyone!!

BTW: I am not losing weight for Mickey, just losing for ME!

40 pounds min. is what I need to lose. I think 10 more would really be a good weight for me, but it is hard to maintain~! I remember Oprah talked about how much more effort it took to maintain the lower weight. That is how I am too. I can comfortably be at a certain weight, but to maintain "hot" I really have to work HARD daily at it, even after I lose!

Anyway, I am really focusing on losing the first 10% of my body weight. That will make a big difference for me.....and then going from there.

Weighing in!
No movement on the scale this week - aaah! (no gain either so can't complain too much!)
Tough week this week - shin splints really bad so I can't go full force on the treadmill. I ended up only working out 3x instead of my usual 5. Also its TOM so I'm really bloated and had to give in to my craving for chocolate.

One more week until Disney - so I'm still aiming and working towards another 3 pound loss to meet my 10 pound goal. Wish me luck!

I just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words from everyone. I just spoke to my SIL, and she says that my brother is holding up extreemly well.

I went to that Sparkpeople.com place, and I tried to put in what I ate for breakfast, etc., but they hardly have anything in there. They have soup, but only veggie, and beef or something like that. I eat Chicarena... They also didn't have the cereal that I eat either. Whatever, its just as easy for me to write it down myself with my WW points.
Also, SIL suggested giving my girls Dimatapp before we board the plane to help them sleep. I have a DD3 & DD16months... has anyone ever done this, and how much would I give them? Is it really safe?

We use Benedryl. On the advice of our doc... before it started being not OK our give little one anything.
I can't remember how much for a little one like you have.

The dvds that I do are "power walking" Basically it is cardio that I can do without making a total fool of myself. I did just start adding "the bean" to work out my abs. I wish I could join the gym but not in the cards! I find that if I am good one week w/ exercise and eating I usally don't see the results at that week's weigh in but the next. Give it some more time!

 

[PrincessKell]

Well tonight Georgia (dd 5 soon to be 6) and I cleaned her room, and took a 20 minute break to ROCK OUT and dance to Hannah Montana. hehe that was a work out. I tell you what I was sweating after that.

 

[Omma]

I went to Tae Kwon Do (TKD) with my oldest daughter tonight. WOW. I haven't done push-ups since Jr. High. Whew am I exhausted. But she was thrilled I was there and it is a fun way for me to get some exercise. I'm sticking with it.

I weighed at home this morning and am down to 149lbs. That is a total loss of 6.8lbs now. I just keep imagining our family picture in front of the castle and how I want to look. I'm sticking with it this time!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

We are leaving today for Florida - leaving for the airport at 2pm. I'm trying to get everything together, the suitcase, carryon, all the kids stuff, etc. I have to make one last run to Target to get Snow Buddies, because the kids LOVE dogs, and it will keep them very happy on the plane - so I get ready, get the kids ready, go to start the car, AND I HAVE NO KEYS!!! DH took them to work with him!!!! He took his keys, and mine - I could kill him!!! Now I have to sit here and wait for one of his drivers to bring the keys back to me, so I can get going. Its just so frustrating since I'm on limited time, and I still have a lot to do and a lot to get! Aaah, the driving just came and dropped them off to me - gotta get going to Target!

Good for you! I am not even going to attempt a push up- It would be humilating. Its amazing how strong kids are. Well keep up the good work!

I would truly love to join this board if it isn’t too late.

Name: Laurie
Age: 46
Location: Northern New Jersey
Reasons I can’t lose weight: Potato Chips and my Boyfriend
Next trip to Disney: Nothing planned – Told my BF we weren’t going back until I lose weight but in reality we might be going down in early April for the Flower & Garden Festival
Last trip: November 2007 10 days Pop
Weight: Honestly don’t know – No scale but I weigh too much
New diet start date: Next week I have a wicked upper respiratory infection, which is dragging me down. I know everyone is thinking that it is an excuse but I can’t get rid of this thing, I’m tired of being sick and miserable it’s going on a month plus.
Exercise: None at the moment but I have a treadmill already for me to start but I’m wheezing too much to get on the thing.
Diet Plan: Tried weight watchers but boyfriend sabotaged that one. (He loves to take me out to dinner) He claims to love me as I am. To bad I don’t love me in this size.
I have all the books I’m going to try to follow it on my own, and cut way back.
Meal that gives me the most problem: Breakfast – I don’t like hot cereals. I usually waste a bunch of calories eating breakfast

I’ve enjoyed reading all that was written, the only good thing about being sick is that I have a few days off (thanks Dr.) to rest up and between naps I get to read this board so I’m almost up to date. As soon as I can I’m going to run out and make the WW vegetable soup recipe. That one sounds yummy.

Thank you for all the good tips I have a few pages full of them. I can’t wait until I can fully participate with you.

Welcome gordon24!!!
Have you ever tried Go Lean Crunch for breakfast? I believe it's 3 points for a cup and (I don't think that includes milk). I love hot cereal and cold. Also there was some talk about a smoothie that someone liked on this thread.
Best of Luck!!

I did my biggest workout yet! It was 2 hours (actually a little less cuz there was some downtime in the weightroom)! Did a warmup on the stairmaster,then weights, then 28 min cardio on the stairmaster and situps.
I am determined to lose 2 lbs this week!!!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!
