I love the idea of bumping it up to $10.00.
I also like the fact that everyone can win something along the way. It is better motivation I think to have the chance of winning something each month! So even if you don't win the big daddy at the end, there is still a chance for a "reward" along the way!
I am up for anything! (well within reason! )

Hi everyone!

I had a drop on the scale, but that is just how it always is for me... a gigantic (to me) drop the first week or two, and then NOTHING... so, that's when I usually give up. So, keep me on track PLEASE! My ticker shows total weight loss since March....FYI...again, if everyone is going to do the ticker from the day we started this Mojito Madness, I can make another one for the DIS, but I really need to see the improvement to keep motivated! Ticker Factory has this thing where you can see a graph of your progress. it is so motivational, and I need to see the total loss to really see any drop on the graph....

Oh, and I also changed my ticker to show what I REALLY would LOVE to lose. Before, I had my goal at 160...because I wouldn't be sad with that result... but you know what, since I am on this ride with you all, I am going to put in 125 for a goal...hey, why the heck not? You guys are SO MOTIVATIONAL!!! Especially my cheerleader and coach!

How tall are you? 125 was my goal too, but I changed it to 130 to be more realistic. Maybe I should change mine too... I think if I easily hit it though I'd keep going. I'm curious about this size 0 thing.

Lannah--I don't know what kind of weight loss plan you are on, but I found some easy and quick healthy things that help me. For breakfast I usually have a light yogurt (the kind sweetened with splenda). I usually eat this actually while walking between classrooms (I direct a daycare center). A good snack is a protein bar, or this trail mix I made with 5 whole unsalted almonds, sliced, 2tbsp of raisins, and 1/2 bananas worth of dried banana. I top it with a little Morton's light salt and shake it all together in a ziplock bag. Its quick and easy when I'm hungry. Lunch--Healthy choice frozen meals or a lean pocket. Other quick ideas are those little fruit cups you pack in lunches, so you don't have to worry about cutting up fruit, and if dinner is a dud, have a lean pocket again. Another quick snack is half a whole wheat tortilla, with 1 slice of 2% kraft cheese, in the microwave for 10 seconds and poof, its a quesadilla. I eat these with salsa.


I'm all for upping the anty...

I am only 5'3 and 3/4ish. I think you are much taller than me aren't you? That 125 weight would only put me in a size 5/6. (I only know that because that's about what I was when I met DH)

What is it you are curious about a size 0? I think it is WAY too SKINNY! Did you see that gross pic of me? I know I could find more, it was just GROSS! I looked like a BOY! I didn't realize it at the time of course. I would be ultra-happy in an 8/10 (about 140 as I recall ) at this point.... my girlfriend is an 8 at the Gap, and a 6 at Old Navy, (so she just told me), I think that looks like a healthy thin.... but that's just my opinion.

Thank you so much for the advice. Right now I'm trying the "Lannah's Diet". I'm trying to cut out everything that I know is bad. I might still have a tiny bit of the stuff I like but I have stopped eatted the huge portions. I'm going to try stocking the freezer with quick WW meals and lean pockets.

Yeah, I'm 5'1 and 3/4" ish. I was a 5 at 125 and I still thought I was fat! I don't really think I could ever be a 0, but a 5 would be nice. My hips just aren't 0 hips. I'm 155 now and I wear an 8/10 dress, and between 10-12 pants. I think it really depends on the cut. About the 0 thing, I always say I'm a born anorexic with no will power. I'd really love to be a 0 (which is probably unhealthy) but food is just too good!

[ANTSS2001]

[WDW1st-timers]

it must be the same as the "Lannah's Diet". I never lost anything this week either....BUT I realized that the reason that I didn't lose is because it's that time of the month so I actually put on weight during that time.
Right now I'm hoping that next week for weight in I lose at least a pound or I'll be crying.

 

[WDW1st-timers]

Guess what everyone....I'm going to go bike riding with my girls this weekend. I may look like an elephant on a peanut but oh well, I'll feel better when I do my weigh in next Friday.

have fun Lannah!!! I just got back from my 3 5 minute walk... I am trying to trick my brain... only 5 minutes thats all...

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

Hey, I love bike riding- of course, haven't went for years (this city isn't the nicest place to ride a bike!).

I did BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD yesterday. Let's just say- it involved German food and an unhealthy dinner too!

But that's okay! I'm giving myself one free day a week just to indulge- today, I'm back and have done my exercise and had my coffee! I know I shouldn't have a day to indulge- but that's how I get through the evenings without snacking- I think 'on THIS day, I'll have something GOOD'! Only problem is- I tried to cram EVERYTHING GOOD into one day .

Sigh!

My brother did that when he was younger and was very successful at staying thin even though he'd eat like a whole pizza on Saturday. He was on a VERY low calorie diet the rest of the week (maybe 1000 calories?) and it was mostly just protein shakes. I could never do that, because when I cheat on Monday, I end up cheating on Tuesday, and then on Thursday, and it takes a while to break the cycle.


I think I never answered the QOTD's.

I'm Rebecca, 27, mother of a 2-year-old. I successfully lost 35 pounds on LA weightloss and was 5 pounds from goal when we discovered I was pregnant with DD. So since I was dieting, I started on the un-diet and gianed 50 pounds! Of coures like 20 of that was baby, but I still managed to reach exactly my pre-diet pre-DD weight. Now I'd like to lose it again before we concieve DC #2, and this time I won't gain 50 pounds!!!

My goals for this week are to go for a walk 2 times. I don't exercise at all...I have an injured foot currently, but I think I can handle that. I'm not talking about a high speed super walk, just a walk with DD around the neighborhood.

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

Ah, the week goals... You know- I think my goal this week will be to cut out junk carbs in the evening. If I want an evening snack this week, it will have to be FRUIT. No more crackers or candy/sweets. Fruit is much better for ya!

 

[dreamergirl78]

Hi everyone!
I started doing Yoga in the mornings and at night! And so far I LOVE it!
I am going to a BBQ tonight, so it should be interesting to see how much I overeat! He is SUCH a good cook, its hard to say no when he is in the kitchen or at the grill.

STAY WITH IT LADIES!!!!!!!!!!! We can do this. We all have already made huge steps in changing the way we live! This stilly weight didn't appear overnight and it won't come off overnight. But if we stick with it, I KNOW we will all be alot healthier by the time September rolls around!

QOTD:
What is your weekend strategy?? If you stick with it, HOW do you stay motivated? OR do you slack off??

I TRY to keep going even through the weekends. That way if I slip up during the week, it isn't so bad because I know I will continue to exercise during the weekends too! But Saturday night Pizza is REALLy hard to resist!

I am incredibly behind on this thread! I had no clue it was moving so fast!

My name is Jana and I am 36 years old. I'm not married, but if anyone knows any single men in Illinois, I'l looking! I don't have any children. I do have a cat named Dawson Bailey and a fish named Captain Jack.

I was born and raised in central Illinois. I currently work as a counselor for parents and children involved with DCFS. I am also researching and pondering starting my PhD.

I have been doing a "modified" weight watchers for two years and three months. I had lost 110 pounds at one point! Last Spring I injured the peroneus tendon in my foot. I was in walking boot in April, May, August and September then finally placed in a cast/wheelchair in November and December. This really stalled my weight loss. In fact, I have gained thirteen pounds since September. I really want to get back on track! My foot is supposedly healed, although I don't think it will ever be the same, so I am back at the gym, praying that will help.

My goals for this week:
1. Stay in my points everyday.
2. Drink my water.
3. Excercise some everyday.

I don't stay on track on the weekends. I would love to, but sitting around the house certainly lends itself to snacking.

To answer the final question, I would be more than willing to contribute 10 dollars. I also love the idea of monthly challenges! I need the motivation.

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sorry this was so long--I'l have to do better at keeping up!
Thanks!
Jana
