I'm sure you'll be back on track!
I am ready to join all who are on the "right track".
I seem to have derailed myself from the "mindfull eating track" and I need to get back on!
I'm sure you'll be back on track!
Is anyone on here weight training to help with their weight loss? If not, you should consider it. It is a major component to fat loss. Just sayin'![]()
So cool! I am going to keep doing them.
(hhmmm... I don't suppose that means I can eat something yummy while I am at rest? No, I guess not!)
well I've started insanity and started my diet. Today is day 4! I'm following the diet plan pretty closely. I only slipped a little bit by getting a drink at the club last night, but I was also dancing all night(and it was only 1 drink). I know it takes a while to stimulate ur metabolism, so I'm just remaining patient. The key with this program is you might not lose weight, but you gain definition by converting the fat to muscle. I'll keep everyone updated.
I received a Wii Fit for Christmas and started doing it on Christmas night. After the first week, I was down 4 pounds.
from this point on, I am going to be, "Ann... the runner and fit chick who just happens to have Lupus."
Hi!
I saw Shanan this weekend and she mentioned this thread so here I am! (Hi Shanan... love ya!)
I received a Wii Fit for Christmas and started doing it on Christmas night. After the first week, I was down 4 pounds. 10 days later, I joined Weight Watchers. Since Christmas, I've lost just over 13 pounds. I work out every day for at least an hour and I haven't skipped a day since New years Day.I am mad crazy about the points I eat every day and I recently learned that I need to eat more to lose weight (crazy, I know!).
I'm also part of Biggest Loser 9 on the W.I.S.H boards! Great group of peeps over there!
I have a doctors appointment with my Lupus doctor at the end of the month (ooooh, I think it's this week. Better check my calendar)... if he gives me the, I am going to start C25k training on February 1st. I was a long distance runner in the past and I have missed running since being diagnosed with Lupus.... but, I am tired of telling people I am "chubby" because I have Lupus... and I am tired of Lupus defining who I am. I am done being "Ann, the girl with Lupus so she is chubby and can't exercise"... from this point on, I am going to be, "Ann... the runner and fit chick who just happens to have Lupus."
My first goal is running a 5k with my dad at the end of July.
Thanks for listening! I am really excited about my new way of life!
.
I really need to tone up my core muscles though, they are extremely weak!
Anyone know any great workouts to do for core? Pilates is pretty good right?
Do you credit the Wii Fit for the weight loss or a change of eating habits? How much time do you spend Wii-ing?
I love your new way to describe yourself. You are doing great!
I'm coming to the unfortunate realization that I may just be too old to be in really good shape anymore without dedicating unrealistic time and effort into it. I'm in decent shape for a 42 year old, but maintaining it is getting harder and harder.![]()
Wow! So since I finally purchased a scale I have lost 15 lbs! I guess just hopping on it every day to check is making me more aware of my snack habits. I hope this keeps up! I would like to lose another 50 by December, but to get there I know I will have to start really working hard! Hope everyone is staying on track!

sounds like a good plan. i love your positivity and enthusiasm!I credit both (the Wii and my change of eating habits) for my weight loss. I gave up sugar (I used to have coffee WITH my sugar and creamer.... now just coffee and a splash of cream) and I also gave up ALL carbonated drinks. Including my beloved Mountain Dew (sobbing a little). I also gave up fried foods (chips, french fries, etc).
I do an hour to an hour and a half on the Wii every day. I do a mixture of Wii Fit, Biggest Loser, Golds Gym (boxing), AE Sports Active and now Just Dance. As soon as I get my doctors okay, I will drop my Wii workouts to an hour a day and do the C25k too.![]()
