@~Losing Weight for Mickey~@

[PebblesMK]

I just got back from my first session with my personal trainer. Let me just say this...she is brutal and I have a feeling that I'll be looking good in no time. I should still set a goal but it was something she told me to think about before we meet up again. Does anybody think that 20 pounds is too high of an expectation for the first month?

Everyone seems to be doing so well! I wish I could claim the same! I fell off the wagon and stress ate this weekend. Once, I started I couldn't stop. I had been doing so well and all of sudden I just craved cheetos, nuts, candy and all the stuff that I had been resisting. I'm back on track and yesterday and today, I really watched my calories and did some major exercise. I'm bummed that I keep doing this to myself--it's like sabotage! I take three steps forward and then two back. I'm so frustrated!

Happy to hear about all the lbs. y'all are loosing. I'm not going to stop coming and posting because I feel that it helps me stay on track. I'd love a personal trainer, Pebbles MK. I just don't know if I could budget it in. I'm a teacher and end of the year is so hectic--keep me in your prayers!

The Wii told me I have lost a LB this week! So official weigh in is 151. I'm so excited to see the numbers go down. A lady at work said she can tell I've lost weight. How cool is that?

Good luck to all of you out there.

Soda is the hardest thing to kick and something I did because I use to drink 3 to 4 or even more a day was instead of trying to cut back I switch first to caffeine free root beer and took 2 Tylenol ever 4 hrs to defend any withdraw headaches. I then slowly switch my root beer with sprite or ginger ale and then I just replace everything with just plan water or my Special K Protein water and noticed I am so much fuller drinking just water I don't munch or eat too much at meals.

Dunno if it help but figured I would share

Worry none about those binges. I do the same thing. I had been doing really well a few months ago and was hungry so I ate a tootsie roll. That seriously made me posessed or something because I was eating every piece of candy that I could get my hands on. It was bad. However, now I have realized that if I try to cut myself off from that stuff, I want it even more and that's when I will go really crazy and eat tons. I really think that losing weight is more mind over matter and for whatever reason, that is really hard.

As far as a trainer, they are expensive but my dad is going to pay for it as long as I hit my goal. If I had somebody to work out with or at least somebody to keep my accountable, I wouldn't need her. But really....you can do it. Let's get rid of all discouragement because although it's tough....we can all do it!!!!

Now....if anybody can give me any snack ideas for high protein/low carb snacks, I would be eternally grateful!

Well, I think I am back on track. I am backing to counting the WW points and I am determined. I am drinking more water and I think that definately helps me with the bloating. So, I got weighed Monday and even after bd cake and dinner on Saturday, the final for my Disney gain plus bd weekend was 3 pounds. I think the extra was more from salty foods etc. I can deal with the 3. After all, I drank a ton of Orange Fanta and they really did get me at the confectionary with the "deal" on the fudge! It was buy 4 blocks and get 2 free. The vanilla fudge was really creamy and delicious! Everybody keep your spirits up. We are all gonna binge sometimes, eat junk food, have fast food. The problem is, at least for me, that all of the time spent mad at myself or hating on myself for wanting a peice of pizza, leads to more eating. (remember..thats why i have my treat day! i will not allow myself to feel guilty that day and it makes me have a better week) Such a viscious circle! But we are gonna succeed!

Hi everyone, hope your weight loss is going well.

To put even more pressure on myself, I booked a 6 night stay at the beach in 6 weeks I know this will get me even more motivated to work out & stay on track. I just hope I can fit into my swimsuit by then, as long as I weigh <170, I'll be ok. I just wish there was some magic that could make us all look like swimsuit models right now!

Hi everyone -

I seem to have lost this mysterious 2 lbs that attacked me on Sunday - I think I was retaining water , I felt so bloated.

This week is a challenge because my DH is away and it is so difficult to get on the treadmill in the evenings. When he is home, he can manage the bedtime routine so I can exercise. I am eating very well however and I am still committed. Tonight I think I will do a little arm weights and a PM yoga video.

This may seem stupid but I want to be comfortable wearing tank tops in WDW. Last summer a certain tank top looked SO bad in the pictures that I couldn't put those pictures in the scrapboook. Anyone know any good arm toning exercises? - I know the basics.

Anyway sorry to ramble but I do thank all of you who write because this board is very helpful to me

Thanks

Michelle Obama should release to the public her arm work out. I would love to have arms like that.

So I haven't been very good today I need to get up and exercise but I just don't have any energy I didn't sleep last night kept having bad dreams ....

Plus I drank some coke today .... mostly cause it was there I usually have more control but I am sooo soo TIRED ... I need a drill sergeant to get me off my butt today

 

[KidaniMom]

It is 9:09 pm we just came home from my 10 yo son's baseball game.Went to Dairy Queen to celebrate his first game of pitching and I did NOT order anything. Ate two licks of my son's cone and a few fries. I am proud of myself. I am hungry now - we ate dinner so early today but I decided that I am done eating for the night and I think I will get the kids to bed (they are talking showers/baths now) and go to bed early - That would be something new. DH is still away and I can not wait for him to get home! I need a little out of the house without the kids time.

I have read that adequate sleep is important for weight loss. I know none of us get enough sleep. Hang in there everyone - every day is a new day.

This trainer of mine is seriously kicking my butt. I'm so outrageously sore. Ice is my best friend....yesterday I did squats galore. The good news is that someday I may actually have a butt (doubtful...but here's hoping). Tomorrow we're working on abs. If you don't hear from me ever again...it's because she killed me with all these crazy exercises!

On a slightly less painful note, I've been eating really well lately. I was tempted to eat sixlets last night (there are only 5 in the package) but I assumed it has about 200 calories because candy is INSANE! Anyways, because the machines count calories as you lose them, I see how hard it is to get rid of something that I could have simply not put in my mouth. Not quite sure why I didn't understand that concept before? Hahha

I hope everybody else is doing really well too!!!! Also, there is a sugar free, fat free ice cream that I had bought a while ago that is only 60 calories and no fat for 1/2 cup. It's quite yummy too. The brand is Kemps and they have quite a few flavors. I buy vanilla and put fresh bananas and strawberries in it. YUMMO.....

Do you have the just he Wii Fit or do you have the new one? I think it's called Active. It's the "game" that creates a workout for each individual and you specify what you want to work on I believe. If that's what you used, let me know how it was.

Yeah the active is what I just got and it is good. Real good. It had me doing lunges and running and leg lifts. I think it is worth the price. It tracks your workouts on a calendar, with every 3rd or 4th day marked off for rest. It's pretty sweet. The more comfortable you get with it, you can customize your workout. Oh, you can do it with or without the balance board.

You still need Wii Fit right? We have a Wii but not the Wii Fit. Can't decide if i should spend that much money - course DH would not hesitate to buy something he wants so maybe I should

If you need Wii Fit, you should check on craigslist. You can usually get them at a decent price....even though new they're only 80 or 90 dollars. I got one for my birthday in April. I used it once. I got discouraged with my fat little Mii

 

[tink1957]

I'm so discouraged, I've had a stomach bug for the past few days & was running a low grade fever & having stomach cramps every time I ate. I only drank chicken & beef broth for 2 days. I thought "great at least I'll lose a little weight"I got on the scale & weighed 181.5 lbsI gained 3.5 lbs & didn't eat anything, what's up with that? Maybe it's because I didn't exercise because I felt so bad, go figure.

Hope everyone else is doing better than I am.
