Hi, WDW1st-timers. I wish I could remember my secrets. While I was in the wheelchair, I lost them all. Seriously though, I just stayed in my points. I had one free day where I could eat chocolate, or pizza or chips, whatever I was craving, other than that I was strict.

Sorry I'm not much help. These last 40 pounds or so are killing me.

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.

Good for you Lannah !! It will be good to get out and get some exercise !!

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...

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.

Hi Rebecca !! You will be able to get the rest of the weight off - you have been doing great so far !!

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!

Evening snacking is my hardest !! I really have the hardest time at night wanting to snack !! Maybe I need to make that one of my goals too !

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 apparently don't have a weekend strategy because so far today I have NOT been following my plan. I didn't exercise yesterday OR today, went out to lunch at Fatburger ( I did have a grilled chicken sandwich with nothing on it - but I think the Fat fries killed that) and tonight we are having pizza

Tomorrow I will make sure I get out for a walk at least and make better choices

Weekends and evenings are when I really need to buckle down and be hard on myself !!

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

Jana - What an ispiration you are !! That is amazing and now I want to go get a fish just so I can name him Captain Jack - that is too cute !!

Oh I had kind of a bad day yesterday...for breakfast I had a waffle with lt. cream cheese (on plan), lunch was a grilled chicken salad with lt. dressing (on plan), PM snack was a ferrio roche truffle (small, but off plan) and some pineapple, dinner was chicken and tortellinis (latter, off plan a little), PM snack was my healthy trail mix (on plan) and a soft serve ice cream cone (totally off plan). But what I'm really upset about is that I drank like 3 glasses of water all day!!!! I think I need to start spiking it with lemon or something, I just couldn't stomach it yesterday.

Don't worry....you'll be right back on track today and make up for the little set back you had. I've had moments of weekness too. It makes me work even hard next time around.

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

It's okay- I've had two bad days in a row. Friday was my free day- no problem. I was 'on track' yesterday until my Mom asked us to go to the Olive Garden for dinner. Now, I go with the thought "I'll eat good- I'll stay away from the breadsticks, etc".

DO I?

UH, heck no!

Sooo... I got home and guilt just jumped all over me- I did FORTY extra minutes on the elliptical- with 25 of those minutes on the highest setting! I felt like I was going to fall over when I was done!

Today, I'm back on track! I don't want to feel THAT guilty again

Mmmmm soup, salad, and bread sticks. I also would have to given in to that also. Last time I had the Olive Garden was on our way home from Disney in 2005.

See now the guilt is starting to set in. So that means that your diet should not fail you. Keep up the good work...Your doing great.

Well, I just got done getting in a good work out ! My parents took my kiddos today ( they usually do on Sundays) and I went with Dan to the gym then for a long walk.

I did the elliptical, bike, and then a long 30 minute walk.

Later this afternoon/evening I have a photo session at the park and it's a pretty large park so most likely afterwards I will go for another walk.

I am going to try hard to make it to my goal of exercising 500 minutes this moth - I might make it close.

Either way I am proud of myself because any month before this I was probably in a negative number for my exercise so I think 500 is GREAT !!

I had gone to my primary to have it check and she said that I do have to do it gradually since I had vegiated for so long but she is happy I had a wake up call since my heart my not make it till next year if I keep on doing what I have been doing.. work and eat... I also stop working doubles.. so I work 1 shift everyday now unless someone calls out at nite.. which is a good thing .. less stress for this obese heart!

Take it one day at a time. You don't need to be going into this full force. Take your time and gradualy work up to higher levels. Please don't push yourself too hard cause I don't feel like flying across the states to go to your funeral. So take it easy chicki-poo!!!!

Here are a few weight loss motivation lines I found... there are lots of them, so can post a few a day! My personal favorite is the last one... but right now, I am the old fat one!


Mark Twain: Quotes for Weight Loss Motivation
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.

Julius Erving: Quotes for Weight Loss Motivation
If you don't do what's best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end.

Jim Eason.: Quotes for Weight Loss Motivation
If you want to look young and thin, hang around old fat people.
