A few little tricks that are helping me:

At work, I have a free period 2nd period, but don't eat lunch until 7th. The faculty room is always stocked with bagels and rolls. I take a mini-bagel, scoop out all the breading I can, and toast it. I still feel like I'm having a real NY-style bagel, but I'm throwing out at least half the calories.

And diet (sugar free) hot chocolate is a treat I can look forward to in the evenings without much guilt.

Weigh In!

Starting Weight: 165
Last Weeks Weight: 154
Current Weight: 153


So I only lost a pound but I think a lot of that is due to strength training. Hoping for a bigger loss next week (and running out to buy a measuring tape to help)

Here it is, my 300th post! OMG, I need to get out of the house more often! So I dieted all week, worked out on the treadmill (not as much as I wanted though), and I didn't loose anything more than ounces, if even that. I just want to get below 200 so badly I can taste it! I'm so close, I have just about 3 pounds to go, but it seems to be taking forever!! Thank goodness I haven't been keeping a weekly chart of my weightloss, because I think with my lack of it, I would be discouraged to look at it. The only positive I can say, is that I do look thinner, as well as DH. I have just under 15 weeks till the no-kids-allowed Baltimore trip, and I really wanted to be down to at the very least 190.... I know I can do it... I just have to work out more, watch what I eat (I'm GREAT durring the week, and most of the weekend, but DH and I seem to go out for either one lunch or dinner on the weekend... maybe thats whats really messing me up??) and it will happen for me. Why is it, that its so darn easy to put weight on, but so darn hard to take it off. You would think that if you do the opposite of what you did before to put on the weight (eating to much, not excercising, etc.), then it would come off just as fast as it went on, but its just not the way it is. Oh well, no one said life was easy!!!

Good Morning my Mickey losing friends!

I'm so very out of the loop.... Can't remember the last time I came or posted here. Record breaking snows in central NH have me praying for summer.

I took the past 2 weeks off from dieting. I'm happy to say I didn't gain anything. The flu took our house out with each persons sickness ranging rom 6 to 10 day to be done with it. Needless to say we had a very exciting winter break from school.

Our school district has missed so many day due to snow, ice, or floods that we are in jeopardy of losing our Spring break. We have plans of pulling the kids out of school the week after the break also as we are going to be in FL for 2 week. (week one beach and wedding and week 2 Disney.) The school is OK with 1 week but 2 they could flunk them... My oldest cant make up that much work over a vacation. If this happens I thnk the kids wiill only get one week in FL and have to only get to do the one day for the wedding and a week at Disney. (Gotta have the priorities straight ya know) (ramble over )

Anyway I'm happy to say I looked forward to getting back on track today. I'm hoping for 10 pound down for vacation....


Hang in there everyoone.

At my WW meeting we call this "chipping". The weeks you "only" lose ounces you are "chipping away" at the pounds. Chipping is better than gaining! And every week you chip you are a little closer to your goal. So I say WAY TO GO!

I "chipped" this week too. I weighed in today and lost .8lbs last week. Pretty normal for me since I lost 2.2 the week before. It averages to 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Oh if I can only keep this up until WDW!

Well I did not lose anything this week again, for 3-4 weeks in a row now...
I do ok during the week.. and even this week I did 40 min of Tae Bo, 25 min of weight and 30 min of walking, I know not very much... but I'm getting into a work out routine.. that I hope will be good...
My weekness is at night.. but some nights I'm great and my weekends are terrible... forget about it ha! ha!

Ok I hope to be back on track this week. It's so hard to get motivated after you have fallen out of your routine. At least I finally made it to the gym even if I did get there an hour later than I usually do. I did forget to weigh in though so I'll have to do that tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't go up. Hopefully now our house is flu free and injury free.

Monday weigh in!

I am sooo excited. I worked extra hard on the treadmill last week (90 minutes instead of 60). I lost 4 pounds and 1/2" each in my chest and waist. I have started lifting weights to tone my arms. I will probably start crunches this week too. I don't expect to lose anything this week because it is "that" week. Last month I hit a plateau for 3 weeks so I think I finally pushed past it.

Way to go Rumrunnergirl!

We've had influenza this week. Sounds like others have had this fun stuff too. Thought it just me and not being diligent enough with the hand washing. It is hard to make it to the gym when the little ones are sick. Now I've come down with it too. Hopefully I can get a good long walk in tomorrow. Still needing to reduce the amount going in. I just love to eat too much.

We had my DH company party Friday night. Prime Rib and Creme Brule. Those were major downfalls. I dread seeing where I end up after a long weekend. Not too bad, didn't loose any but didn't gain either.

Since the start it has been only 4 lbs but several inches. 66 days until WDW. I will make my shorts fit. Fingers crossed!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

So I complained yesterday that I only lost ounces (as pointed out by Omma ) and I was a little discouraged, but this morning, 1.7 pounds were off. Apparently, my body doesn't realize that my weight in days are Mondays
As we speak I have a chicken roasting in the oven, so we actually wont have to eat a frozen meal for dinner tonight!! Truthfully, I don't mind them, I actually can't wait to try the meat lovers pizza, but it will be nice to have a piece of chicken that hasn't been processed!!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good news and very motivating!!!! Hard work pays off!

Congrats Sarah, Omma, and Melanie, and you too Laura for losing those inches!



I finally weighed in at 150 even so I need to change my counter

I just saw this thread. Can I join too?

Name: Lori
Age: 28
Weight: 142
Goal Weight: 130 (Hopfully by end of April, but not looking like it)
Exercise Plan: stationary bike, eliptical, and weights.
Weight lost so far: 2 lbs after two months of doing this (ARG!!!!!)
Downfall: SWEETS!!!

I'm trying to loose all the post baby weight! My youngest is now almost 7 months, and I'm just trying to get the weight off that I put on with having both kids.

Oh, and as an edit: I work out about four times a week for 45 minutes each time.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Though I'm sure you all know about them, I just wanted to say that I just tried the 100 calorie pop corn (forget who its by) and it was really good. A good amount of the corn didn't pop, but in my way of thinking, that just means that I saved some calories! FYI - They are only 1 point in WW!

Are you still nursing? If you are that may be why you aren't losing any weight - your body will naturally hang on to everything to feed that beautiful baby. You need more calories to feed a baby when breastfeeding than you do pregnant when you are making that baby

If you aren't nursing - hang in there!! Your body is still adjusting and I am sure that your hard work will pay off soon!

Glad to have you join us on this journy and I am cheering for you

Are you nursing? When I nursed with my oldest I didn't lose an ounce til I finished nursing. If not, then just hang in there. Remember 9 months up 9 months down, unless your a super star and have a full time nanny, chef and personal trainer. oh to have a nanny some days.

 

[mamaLori05]

Thanks for the support Albumlady and maidenfairy!!! I did stop nursing at around 3 months because I just wasn't making enough to keep up. (probably wasn't drinking enough water.) I'm hoping with this support group I will loose more weight. Maybe I'll learn some tricks and loose more. I have had a few people ask if I've been working out, so maybe I am loosing inches and just not weight (or their just being nice). I dunno. It's just frustrating sometimes!!!!!! Thanks for the support!!!!
