When I started dieting a few years ago I weghed about 225, and I was 5'7. I took a break for a while, and started again this October. I weighed 191 and am now down to 168. I used to be bulemic, so I dont push my dieting hard, for fear of relapse. What works for me is calorie cutting, no regular soda, and a lot of walking. I dieted from Oct to Feb and lost 23 pounds. Nothing works the same for everyone, you have to do what feels right. I am starting again AFTER I get home from Disney, cause I have a feeling after I eat all the "mouse food" Ill need to! As far as food I LOVE Lean Cuisine, and when we do go out to eat I drink tea or water, or diet soda. The taste was NASTY at first, but now regular soda is too sweet for me.

Happy Friday everyone!

This week, (Mon-Thurs) I walked/ran the treadmill twice a day for 35-40 minutes each time. Today I work from 9.30 to 7pm, so I won't be able to get on, but thats OK with me - my pinkie toes a full of painfull blisters! So far this week, I have lost a whopping 4 pounds and the week isn't even over yet!! I wish everyone good luck in this upcoming weekend - don't forget to get your excersizing in!!!

Wow, 4lbs is awesome, you're inspiring me to stick with this. I get discouraged when I watch the Biggest Loser and they lose 10lbs in a week, it's nice to see real people with real schedules dropping a good amount of weight in a week. HOORAY FOR YOU SHARPMOMOFTWO!!!!

too funny!
sooo true



I am stuck at -12 pounds but at least I'm not gaining!

Hey all... I haven't been to check-in in awhile, so here I am! My loss has slowed down to about a pound a week, but I know I haven't been drinking as much water as I should and I haven't been exercising much. I think I broke my toe about two weeks ago (stubbed it on the wall, it hurt like you wouldn't believe!!) so I haven't been wanting to walk. Went out and took a walk last night and my toe seemed OK though. Good luck to all this weekend!

Awesome!

Don't get discouraged by Biggest Loser. Our aim should be to make real changes to our ways of eating, not just lose weight. Any changes you make should be changes you'll be able to sustain for the rest of your life. The weight loss is the gravy

YEA!!!

I have walked on my treadmill for 30 minutes everyday this week. I also started jumping rope with my two daughters. They think it was pretty cool that Mom actually knew how to jump rope.

Anyway my DH challenged me to do 500 jumps today. I am always up for a challenge, so I did it. It took a while but I did it. Very tiring, I hope it helps!


Only 21 days to the Mouse!!!

Tiff

Life isn't TV... If all I had to do all day was work out and eat tiny meals (and not have to work, do laundry, feed kids, etc.) I'd lose 10 pounds a week too!

So I worked yesterday - I had my cereal in the morning, went to work, and never got a lunch break, but managed to get a cereal bar and 100 calorie pack of oreos into myself. So I get home, and I'm up a pound! I was so annoyed! But at least its gone (and then some) this morning. What does that happen though??
Whatever, I'm at my lowest weight yet!!!

I've always heard to only weigh yourself first thing in the morning and I've heard conflicting reports about how often you should weigh yourself (everyday, once per week, etc). I try to weigh myself 3x per week and I've also started measuring 3x per week also. Sometimes when you exercise the weight is slow to drop but you lose inches. Don't get annoyed, you're doing awesome. Look at you with you're lowest weight yet. YAY!!!!

Great job! 137.5 is incredible, I would be soo happy at that weight and hopefully soon I will be. Keep up the good work you skinnie minnie!!!

Hi this is my very first post. My husband & I went to WDW in November for our 10 Wedding Anniversary. After I returned and saw the pictures I knew I had to change! I started Jan 2, 2008. I have changed my lifestyle in many ways. I eat 5-6 times a day, between 1500-1700 calories, no soda, and nothing after 7 PM. So far so good!

Start Date: 1/2/08
Begining Weight: 210
Current Weight: 190
Pounds down: 20 and still dropping!
Goal Weight: 135-140



Next time my husband & I go to WDW will be with our three kiddos and I will be thin!

Hi - I'm down 3.4 today - well, really only 1.4 'cause I was up 2 last Monday - I'm in a new decade of #'s - the 160's - at the top, but I started 1/2/08 at 187, so I'm psyched!
QUOTE]

Congrats on the new decade! I'm doing the happy dance here today too! Got on the scale and FINALLY hit the 170's!! I weighed in at 179 this morning, down 9.5 lbs from January . . . ooohhh, my 10 lb milestone is within reach!

What do you think???? Can I lose 20 pounds in two weeks???? Darn this weight! I really wanted to be thinner for vaca but doesn't look like it! Guess I will try for summer!?!?!

Well I'm sure you're still in much better shape than you were and all that walking at WDW may even bring you back a little lighter too! I see you live at the Shore . . . you can always shoot to lose for the beach this summer!

Happy Friday everyone!

Sounds like the two workouts are really working for you! I'd love to give it a try but I'm lucky if I get 2 - 4 in per week . . . didn't get on it at all this week! But I think I was so busy everyday that it helped keep the snacking down and was the secret to this week's success!

Have a great week to all our new members and the rest of the gang!

Hey!
Just turned on the TV (TLC was on from last night) and there was an ad for a show tonight at 9:00 on TLC called "I can make you skinny!" w/ Paul McKenna. Have no idea what it entails but I'm curious to check it out!

 

[MouseFan71]

I saw the previews on TLC as well. It looks like he uses some sort of hand signals or something. Not sure if I buy it but I'll watch it and see.

Today is DH's birthday and we are going to his parents house for the same birthday dinner that he has had for his entire life - Corned Beef and Cabbage. Its pretty funny, they have been making that for his birthday every year, thinking he loves it, and he HATES IT - he just doesn't have the heart to tell his mom that after all these years! I'm sure they will have cake for him as well. I'm not to worried about slipping on that, they will probally get him an ice cream cake, and that doesn't interest me. (It was the slew of decorated cupcakes we had at work yesterday that started at me all day that gave me a bit of an issue, but I got out of there without tasting one!) I just hope I can keep my corned beef intake to a minimum. After now losing almost five pounds this week, I don't want to ruin it for one salty fatty meal! Maybe I'll bring my own Smart Ones meal, eat that, and then see how I feel - maybe just have a little piece if I'm still hungry. I know its strict, but I've gotta be if I'm going to be down to 180 by my Baltimore trip! Thats 17 pounds in 13 weeks - totally do-able!
