Just realized I didn't introduce myself in my first post in the January thread on Sunday. Oops! lol
My name is also Shannon. I work as a substitute teacher in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and am looking to either (or possibly both) find a full-time position or get into a grad school program at Pitt.
This isn't the first time I've been at my current weight. During the beginning of 2009, I got down to around 145-150 by limiting portions, (Honestly, partially because of not really having a lot of food due to financial reasons. :ohwell:) but then I started overeating again and gained it all back in about the last year and a half. When I realized that I had done that, and just how overweight I was, I knew I had to get back into the habit of limiting how much I ate.
Even more important than my weight, though, is that I've been out of shape pretty much all my life. I can get slightly winded just by walking up two flights of stairs and I can't run more than MAYBE 50 yards, if that. So, as much as losing weight would be terrific, my main goal right now is to be in better general physical shape!1-31 goals:
1. Stay within nutritional goals - Missed on salt and sugar. :ohwell: Beginning to wonder if I just shouldn't bother with them yet....
2. Get to the gym - YES!! :happy:
3. Do "initial test" for "200 sit-up challenge" - Turns out I actually did this Sunday night, thought I hadn't, lol.
4. Write letter of interest/career goals essay for grad school application - No....
5. Do those finances! - Yep!
2-1 goals:
1. Stay within calorie, carb and fat goals
2. Drink 6-10 cups of water, depending on if I go over on salt
3. Do first day of "200 sit-up challenge"
4. Do a cardio work-out of AT LEAST 30 minutes, not counting cool down
5. Write that letter and essay!!0 -
Ravyn glad you're back!! I know I should call you Beth since that's your name but I've called you Ravyn from the start so I guess it's sticking!!
Nam, calling me Ravyn is ok too:) Its a nickname I've had since I was 15!0 -

Hello!
Thanks Jess for starting the new thread! Welcome to the newbies and hello again to all the regulars :flowerforyou:
I'm Kim, I tend to ramble but I'll try and keep it down. I'm also in the UK. I started trying to lose weight back in June last year but it only really started coming together when I joined MFP in October. I couldn't manage with out this thread and the lovely people on it. Its been a bit of a struggle since Christmas as I wasn't able to exercise after a bad chest infection, but have returned to the gentler stuff in the last week and I'm feeling fabulous for it.
Its almost 7pm here but here's what I've been working on today:
1. Water - Only two glass left to go!
2. Under on the calories - Its looking good
3. Laundry! Yes er I haven't started yet so I'd better get on that!
Hope you're all doing brilliantly!

Hello Kim!!! so glad you found us!!!0

It's already mid afternoon here but I'll still post goals for today...
1. Combat and Tri class tonight. Carry a bit of a muscle strain in my shoulder but really want to go to class so will have to make sure I don't overdo it. *DID TRI CLASS BUT THE MUSIC SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING AT COMBAT SO WE DID CIRCUITS INSTEAD. *
2. Log off from MFP and get on with some work!! *I DID EVENTUALLY BUT NOW I'M BACK!!!*
3. At least 10 cups of water today. *8 CUPS SO FAR*
4. Stop stressing about the annoying man trouble I'm having. Honestly. Men. Why do they have to be such arses (excuse my bad language)?!! *BIG FAIL. HE CAME OVER. *
Shoulder is bad after my workout so going to need to take it easy for a couple of days.
Wednesday's goals:
1. Lots of water.
2. Take lunch from home.
3. Only one glass of wine after work.
4. Will be going over cals because no training but try to limit the damage by making healthy choices.
Kathy how's your job going? Are you enjoying being back?0 -

Tuesday
1. Water - Yes
2. Under on the calories -Yes
3. Laundry! A bit bust still have loads to do.
Morning Everyone!
I had a great moment this morning. I was rushing through to the bathroom in a towel (I normally shamble about in a very large dressing gown in the mornings) and caught sight of myself in the mirror. I have legs again! Even when I was at a healthy weight my legs have always looked more like supporting columns. I learned to be cool with that, I scuff about in jeans and trainers to most things while dresses and skirts largely happen to other people. Any way what I'm trying to say is ankles people! I now have ankles! I should have done this years ago.
Wednesdays Goals:
1. Water
2. Calories
3. Walk
4. More laundry
Good luck everyone!

I am so glad that we have the oldies and the newbies here. I am stoked that I am up and running again. I really need to show my tastebuds whose boss and I am working on that. I need to buy tons of that dessert gum. I think that will help because I love that stuff. Well I better hop to it while I have all this energy. My keyboard is about to spontaneously combust because I am typing so fast!!!! It's like I'm on speed and that doesn't happen very often!!!0 -

LOL! Always nice to see improvement like that, isn't it? I'm very hopeful that part of what I get out of this is decent legs, but we shall see....

5. Write that letter and essay!! - See above.... Of course, the "something" that came up had to do with some of the things I also need for my application, so I don't feel quite as bad about it.

Hi! My name is Roberta. I am married to my high shool sweetie (been together for 22 yrs, married for 16). I have a wonderful 10 yr old son who is hearing impaired and he keeps me on the go constantly. I have tried several weight loss attempts, only to fail and gain everything (plus some) back. I have decided that this is not a "diet" because that sounds so temporary...This is my new lifestyle of healthy eating. Since the end of September I have lost 30 pounds (with lots more to lose) but with the help of all MFP buddies I CAN DO THIS!!!
My goals for Feb 1, 2011:
1) At least 10 cups of water----Yes I did it!!
2) Get in some type of excerice today---Not as much as I wanted, but yes I got a little walking in

Nam--I am SO glad to be back at work. I LOVE my job--even though it's not a very fancy one. I work part-time in a garden center and get dirty and sweaty. The store employees are all glad I'm back, too.
I'll have 5 racks of primroses and pansies, etc. waiting for me when I get there today. Going to be busy!
Kim--Ankles! Nice!
Everyone with snow and ice--be careful!0 -
Yesterday's Goals:
1) Do some laundry (it's been piling up)
2) Drink 5 bottles of water - at least 2 without flavor packets in them
3)No Fast Food!
Results:
I didn't get around to doing the laundry, and I only drank 2 1/2 bottles of water, all of which had flavor packets in them... Although I did manage to get through the day without eating fast food which put me under for my calorie count yesterday.
Although I didn't do everything on my list, I did manage to walk on the tredmil and I managed to walk 2.25 miles (not all at once, but that's still better than the nothing I've been doing). I've laid out a sort of schedule that works in walking and my wii fit game into my already planned afternoon schedule... I had to work in some extra time and shorten some things to work in time for my online class, so the walks during the week will be short. Again... It's better than not walking at all, and it's a start to work me toward being able to finish (without collapsing) the 8k for H2O and the LifePoint Gift of Life 5K/2K this month.
Today's Goals (2/2):
1) Do the Laundry! (I have to get to it sometime this week...)
2) Devote an entire hour to playing with my son (probably teach him a new word if he'll let me)
3) Hydrate - Drink 5 bottles of water!0
