Losing weight for Mickey

[bunkkinsmom]

I am a total backslider. Total backslider. I got under 200, and it's like I wanted to fail! I get so down because this happens all the time. I have got to just make the decision to do this! I think about it all the time! Ya'll pray for me......it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Well over the weekend I ended up gaining 3 lbs, but I think just one of those was water weight. I'm only up 2 lbs today from my lowest last week. But my monthly visitor is here, and I'm having some issues so I'm waiting to change my ticker, lol.

I'm totally back on track and hoping I can still get down to 150 by the time my WDW trip comes up in like 8 weeks.

No loss - no gain.

I think I have been eating too much at dinner. This week I am going to start a food diary - does anyone have one - what do you use - what do you write in yours -

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!!!


Cheers!!

I tried a food diary not too long ago, and I got completely frustrated with myself looking at what I was eating... and stopped. It IS such a bumpy ride. I have been at this since March. I have lost 30lbs. Which I know is okay. It just seems soooo long, and I am getting impatient. The monthly visitor definetly doesnt help. ughh...
I have decided to not step on the scale everyday though. That seems to help my mood. I step on it once a week now.
The hardest thing I am finding is that my husband eats so badly, and I am just so tempted to eat like him. Trying to get him to eat healthy. Not diet, just eat healthy. ughh... men
When he goes to Dunkin Donuts I want to rip his head off

Oh I am so with you on this. DH will do well at times and then he just binges - I figure if I just keep doing what I am doing he will jump on the bandwagon........................................OH I CAN DREAM CAN'T I!!!!

Well, week #1 is behind me. Had some rough food days. On the 4th of July I ended up taking my son to ER to get stitches under his eyebrow...followed up by a reward lunch at Red Robin for doing so good at the ER. I did avoid my favorite Bonzai burger but had a few fries dipped in tooo much ranch.

Results Week #1:

Starting Weight: 188.7
Today's Weight: 186.4

Total Weight Loss: 2.3 lbs

I guess it's a start...this weeks goal is to MOVE more and NOT eat at 3:00 AM when I get up to pee!

Good luck everyone.

Gina that is awesome!!!!!!!!! You did great.

 

[HALEYSMOMMOM]

Wow that is neato. Did you notice our travel tickers? We'll be there at the same time!

I went to college at USI so I'm very familiar with E-ville and the entire area. But I haven't been down that way in several years, minus our two trips to Holiday World last week! We have season passes for HW and love it.

Wow! We will be there the same time, won't we? I too graduated from USI I have a BA in business admin. Graduated in '98.
We haven't been to HW yet this year, but it is definitely in the works, that place is great! I'm jealous of your season passes:0)

As far as this week for me, I stayed the same, but I didn't hardly work out. I got sick with a headache, and when i get like that, its kind of like having the flu. Anyway, I hope to do better this week, and get moving!!

Gina that is awesome!!!!!!!!! You did great.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the encouragement!!! I did GREAT today at work. Had a nice 6 point (WW) Healthy Choice meal and a bowl of strawberries and blueberries for lunch, some pretzels for break and a bunch of water and only 1/2 a diet soda, which is HUGE for me! Plus our A/C broke so I am pretty sure I sweated off at least a pound !

Have a great week everyone. I will be back next Tuesday.

I'm happy to report I'm almost down to where I was last Friday morning before my bad weekend. And I know the reason I'm not. I've always had issues going (tmi) and I haven't since at least Sunday. Drives me crazy.

I'm up early this morning getting ready to do my ball, ab exercises. Then I'm sure I'll sweat off at least 1/2 a lb today. (I'm a city carrier for the postal service and it's supposed to be HOT and humid.) Now they are saying I'm gonna get drenched today, LOVELY. Ok gotta get to exercising.

 

[Julylady]

Here is my report for last week.
I lost 2.8 lbs. I exercised 5 times on the treadmill, 2 times at Curves, and golfed 18 holes on Saturday. I stayed under 1300 calories all seven days. Today I reached a total of 60 lbs lost. All in all, a great week!

I have kept a food journal since February. I write down every single thing that I eat. When I get to 1200 calories, I stop eating for the day. It really helps me stay honest. I have learned that I can't have ANY chips, crackers, pretzels, etc. I just can't limit myself to a reasonable serving. I even tried the 100 calorie bags, but they leave me just craving more. I am better off just eating some fruit. I am telling myself that I am "allergic" to chips like some people are allergic to nuts or shellfish. So far, its working.

Have a great week everyone and I will check in next week.

I can't imagine a better support group- people losing weight AND loving Disney.
Here's hoping for some magic...

Age: 28
Beginning weight: 182
Goal weight (realistically): 140
Goal weight (ideally): 120
Current weight: 173
Next Disney trip: Sept. 27

I too have the baby weight that there really is no excuse to call it that, since DD is 2. I used to be in the Navy, working out four days a week, now I'm a stay at home mom fidning it impossible to work out. Can't leave the kids alone to go run, tried a gym membership fpr a couple months, but every time we went I would be called back to child care after 15 minutes because my kids wouldn't stop crying because I left them.
I've tried South Beach and currently am on Weight Watchers- the whole no food is forbidden thing is really working well for me, but the weight loss is slow. Still, I'll take slow over not losing weight, and definately over gaining!
Some days I look in the mirror and can't believe how I look. I was preganat with my first at 24 and get depressed thinking that that was the end of my thin, beautiful body. When my first was one, I found out I was pregant with number two and have been trying to lose the weight ever since. I just feel too young to be stuck in the role of fat desperate housewife, yet that is where I'm at.
I just tell myself that I want to be thin more than I want that brownie, and how good I will feel looking at a healthy me in the mirror far outweighs whatever emotional staisfaction I will get from eating those fries.

OK, so after the backsliding, I ran 1.5 miles yesterday and am eating better at lunch. Dinner is tough - with the kids and all, but I will only weigh once a week, and we will see how it goes. I feel good about it.

 

[Lorra]

I am just 5 pounds from my goal. I've been using Jenny Craig. I was totally worth it. I've lost 35 pounds and my goal was 40 pounds.

After hearing the report about a food diary I started mine yesterday. It is amazing when you look at it what kind of stuff you eat. I see I really need more veggies and fruits in my diet. Going to farmers market tomorrow and picking them up. All day I would want to eat something and then I think," If i eat that candy bar I'll have to write it down."

another part of me thinks if I keep writing stuff down I'm just going to be obsessed about food. Some pple get to write juicy things in their diaries, I write about juicy burgers.

 

[FunkyDuck]

Haven't posted in a while...but have lost 9lbs. so far. Would of liked more at this point...but now back on it with a vengeance. Have lost 4lbs. since this past Monday...1lb a day! Whewhoo!!! My body is in shock...walking???...what's that???...water???...huh??? LOL Disney is a great motivator! I don't want to be slowing down my family. I will be turning 40 in November and have a one year old...not only do I want to lose weight for this trip...but I want to lose weight for her and be ACTIVE in her life.

Sending my support to all those who are trying! We are all on the same road and am hopeful that we will reach our goals!!!

 

[LovinPooh]

Nice job on the weight loss! 1lb a day.... .

I just threw on a shirt that has been tight forever, and it fits! I am on top of the world right now. I cant wait until I can go buy the cutsie clothes. Not the drab baggy things I have been wearing.

to everyone!
