Losing weight for Mickey

[ladyfoundhertramp]

On day 3 of eating better and its not so bad. I was a coke junkie and I am only drinking water and diet green tea and have noticed a HUGE amount of bloat gone just from taking away the soda. I am using the spark people app and its really great--I'm not obsessed with calorie counting but it was helpful last night when I had to eat out and didn't know what I wanted. I pick up a treadmill tomorrow and I have started step 1 of 30 day shred (i was sure i was dead after that workout monday!)

I'm not getting on a scale everyday that's torture but I will check it once a month.

That would be cool It seems like the holidays are so far away- it is a beautiful summer day here- but it really is only four months

Funny you say the 4 month part, it is EXACTLY 4 months until our trip from today!

name: sonia
age: 35
starting weight (may 1st): 190
current weight: 154

i do 40 minutes of cardio 5x/week and strength 3x/week

i had originally set a "disney" goal of 165 (by sept 30th)
i worked my butt off and was at 164 by the 1st of july!
reset my goals....145 by the end of september and 130 by the end of the year.

after a lot of thought, some research and a mini intervention from DH and the kids (i had apparently become totally unfun and cranky)
i have revised my goals. but more importantly i have revised my thinking.
so yes i still have some weight i want to lose.
and yes, i am continuing with my diet and exercise plan
but i am not going to be the food nazi....and i am not going to stress if i skip a work out....and i am going to enjoy my life, my kids, my husband.

so here is my new "real world", acheivable, maintainable, enjoyable and healthy goal!!!

sept 30th: 148lbs
dec 1st: 140lbs

Congratulations on such an amazing weight loss already! Wow, that is an intense schedule but looks like it has totally paid off.

Just checking in and feeling a little discouraged. I haven't weighed myself in a couple weeks because I can feel like I haven't lost anything. If anything, I feel a bit heavier I know my eating habits still aren't the greatest but I have been working out 6 mornings a week to the Biggest Loser Power walk DVD. I'm really enjoying it but I just wish my brain could tell me to stop wandering into the kitchen.

I really wanted to lose 10 lbs by Halloween and the other 10 by January. I know it is doable but I'm just having such a hard time.

Congratulations to all those who are losing weight! I know it's an amazing feeling.

Hang in there! We all have times like that. The important thing is to accept the fact that someones almost everyone wanders into the kitchen. Instead of beating yourself up try to move on. Focus on another walk, a hobby or activity. I have a store about a mile from my house and I tell myself if I really want it I will walk up to the store and get. Sometimes I do walk up there but 99% of the time I make it there it ends ups that the craving has passed and I added in an extra walk. Win/Win in my book.

I have sadly put on 7.5 lbs over the past 4 weeks since I stopped my diet and quit exercising. (I got plantar fascitiis, so that stopped the walking). I had lost 44lbs over a year, but I went on vacation and got lazy and indulged and then fell completely off the diet wagon. I was feeling discouraged, but y'all have given me the push I need to get back on my diet and try to stay within my acceptable weight range. I'm going to try and get back on the acceptable things to eat plan today! Thanks everyone.
