    Weekly Check In

    10/6- 198 lbs
    10/13- 197.5 lbs
    10/20- 197 lbs
    10/28- 198 lbs

    11/3- 196.5

    Glad to be moving in the right direction again!

    It's been a tough couple weeks for me. First I hurt my back and then as soon as that got better, I got a nasty chest cold. I haven't been able/up to exercising, so I've been focusing on my calorie intake. Hoping to feel better soon and get moving again!

    I was feeling down on myself for really not losing anything this month, but I looked back at my reports and saw that I'm still down 12 lbs for 90 days and 49 lbs since March 1. It was a great reminder for me and got me motivated to keep going. Next week I plan on officially hitting the 50 pounds lost mark.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Ok... I am going to join as of tomorrow (It's 1am here in London and I have done my fair share of snacking unfortunately) Its disguising the number of calories I consume lare at night whilst watching tv. So I THINK I understand it... Setting myself a goal of not eating/snacking after 9pm (only water is allowed) Will weigh in once a week reporting on progress using the following format:
    Me:
    LNS:
    Strike:

    OR

    Should I just list week 1..week 2... etc with how much I weigh?

    Help... really need support to shift the weight and think this method + you guys could really help me. Any advice will be much appreciated # desperate times! :)

    I feel stuck. Help!

    It's an unfortunate law of weight loss: The last 10 pounds are harder to shed than the first 30. That's because the slimmer you become, the fewer calories you burn just going about your day. For every pound you lose, your metabolism slows by up to 20 calories a day.
    The solution is to stop traditional dieting and extreme exercise approaches altogether, and find a way to eat and exercise you can do forever.

    I recommend starting with nutritional changes only. Increase dietary protein and up your fibrous veggies (all veggies except starchy varieties like potatoes, corn, peas, etc.) Kick the sugar and booze.

    And then keep doing these things.

    Consistency with a tight nutrition plan is the most tried-and-true approach to resetting your weight. Consistency means not days or weeks, but months and years. The leanest people are the most consistent. They are not constantly trying new "diets" and meal plans—they find what works for them and stay 90% consistent 100% of the time with it. (PRVT)

    What did I do today to help me lose weight? I did an extra 45 minutes of cardio (dancercise) I am really hoping that I get off my weight plateau at weigh-in on Saturday.

    What I did to loose today: almost 18,000 steps! Stayed under my calorie goal but I'm yet to do my workout. With a sick baba in the house I'm not sure it will happen tonight.

    Wonderful Water


    One of the best home remedies for weight loss is limiting how many calories you intake at each meal, by drinking a full glass of water prior. This will help fill you up and take away part of the hunger pang. It will also help you identify if you truly are hungry, as many people tend to think they are hungry when truly they are dehydrated.

    Yesterday I gave myself a sharp kick in the pants. I have been prevaricating for weeks, and not losing weight. I am taking this on board pronto. The only thing I don't do is blame others.

    I have a total personal responsibility attitude to life, but complacency has crept in over the last month. I am kicking it to the kerb, starting NOW! Treats will be non-food except on rare occasions. I have rewritten the 6 points as positive affirmations as I think that will work for me.

    New Health Affirmations

    :star: make healthy choices about every bite I eat
    :star: be prepared to make sacrifices
    :star: non-food treats only, except for out of the ordinary events
    :star: practice my new habits daily
    :star: kick complacency into touch
    :star: reaffirm my commitment to total personal responsibility for my health choices
