Hmm I just posted a blank quote post, so sorry. Still learning how to use the forums. Thank you for your words of encouragement. ziesergirl. I usually do pretty well with eating and logging during the day but then it kind of goes downhill when I get home at night and that is probably why the scale isn't moving. Does anyone else have this issue? I try to eat healthy but I think I am eating too much at night.

have not read ahead to see if anyone responded to this. just some ideas here...
1~ are you eating at nite because you are hungry OR just habit?? try to figure out why. and remember we eat for so many, many reasons. don't even have to be hungry. bored, happy, sad, heck I even eat for no dang reason at all!! the food just goes in!!

If you are hungry...maybe you need to eat more during the day and then lighter meals at nite. how bout spacing your meals so you eat every 2-3 hours, or what works best for you. trying to find what works for you will take some time.

looking for some filler foods? AVOID sugar!! read the labels...become addicted to nutrition info. nuts are healthy fats, as long as they are natural and nothing is on them...yup, plain old nuts! I buy in bulk...almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds and walnuts. how bout 100% whole grain? oatmeal...not from the little pkgs. make your own. add some fresh fruit..lately I have been adding some pure pumpkin! lil cinnamon and YUM!!

make sure you are getting enough fluids too. sometimes when we are hungry, we are actually thirsty! try it sometime!

if it's habit, just try to find healthier foods to eat...and make them quick to grab...and get out of the kitchen. air popped popcorn?? sounds kinda nasty....but after a while, no prob! and, good fiber filling for you.

realizing evening is a struggle for you is *positive*...just be more aware of it and make small changes along the way. Each day you make positive choices will get you closer to your goals!! :flowerforyou:

Thank you for the tips and words of encouragement. I really love this group! I am going to try your suggestions. I think a lot of the eating is out of habit and having a boyfriend with a big sweet tooth. It's hard to resist when he's eating sweets in front of me! I think I just need to remember my goals and the way I'll feel when I achieve them, which is much better than the guilt and regret I feel after overeating and/or indulging. Thanks again for your advice and support!

Thanks Ziesergirl for doing the chart! Enjoy your weekend!

lambeas

awesome chart.... now let's make ziesergirl_66 efforts with the chart and the starting of the group worth it!! Keep track of our foods, move our bodies and when we have a treat over the weekend, make it something worth it.
Why waste calories on a hand full of chips or a treat from the dreaded Halloween candy bowl, save the "treat" for something great like a piece of homemade pie(less preservatives), or a nice piece of steak etc... indulge on good "whole foods" not processed!

Thanks ziesergirl_66 for all the work on this group! I worked out yesterday, and almost forgot the push-ups. If it weren't for this group, I'd continue to forget them! It's great to have the extra motivation, and to the have accountability.

cmon288

Did my 30 push-ups last night and 6sets of 10 on the shoulder press. Yeah, I'll be hurting tomorrow. One thing though. I did the shoulder press first and the first 15 push-ups were almost a breeze (<--I said ALMOST!) Thank you guys for this support system. The emails and the individual comments on profiles are awesome. Thanks. Remember to keep the water flowing.

Christie23

Ok...here it is!! Now, just so ya all know...I did this very quickly and it is very basic. When I have more time, I will add some color...and dates to the weeks.

Please let me know either on the thread or a message if I have your name wrong or weights wrong. I will get them changed...but probably not til Monday (going on a 3 day getaway w/sis to MOA)

Also, if you have not posted a weight for this week, it is not there (or I forgot..oops :ohwell: ) and if you recently joined this group, just remember to post your weight next Wednesday and you WILL be on the next chart.

And hey, welcome all you folks who have just joined..we are thrilled to have you along with us on this journey. Currently, it is thru Christmas with weekly challenges...and possibly it will move on into 2012!!

Keep up the great work everyone!! Plan your meals and exercise!! Get goin on your pushups and fill that water bottle!

Again, let me know if I need to change anything....and I am so sorry if I messed it up or forgot you. :ohwell:

Thanks so much!! Amazing!

And my GW is 190.

ktjones3

Thank you for the chart! You're amazing

mmbarnes1973

i know I'm eating to much at night. i've looked at my last two days, did awesome during the day, but when I get home, instead of going to bed, I feel like I need the comfort and overdo!! I'm so mad at myself!!!

mmbarnes1973

Please add me to your chart. You've answered a couple of my questions and maybe i just haven't posted correctly.
My starting weight was 190 and then I'll weigh in on Wednesday. I like the thought of the chart. It will help hold me accountable. Thank you for all your work... and your care!!

Hi just checking in .. just done my 100 girly pressups... is anyone adding them into your days exercise .

raqufern

Ok girls, I managed to drink my 8 glasses of water yesterday but didn't get to the push ups. I am fighting a cold and feel so drained at night! I will try and do some here at work and some at night to make up for yesterday! Good Luck to all!

archers

Looks like a great group.

saphfireangel

I ended up going way past my goal for the day. Instead of 20 girly push ups I got in 40 and I'm really striving to make it to where I can do 10 regular push ups by the end of the challenge. I can do 1 so far lol

carriel1976

Whoops I must've posted too late yesterday to get on the chart. It looks great and I can't wait to be added.
