Hi Patty,

I will join you. I went to the doctor today and have put on 11 pounds since April. I am so frustrated, however am willing to keep trying. Count me in, however I am going to need some motivation.

Thanks

Hi

Preparations for monday.

I think I have to buy a new food-scale. I have such an old one and I think that my thinking of what the weight of everything is is way out. So that will be on my shopping list as-well with
- celery and peanut-butter
- brown rice
- tomatoes/ fruits
- lots of vegetables
- mushrooms ( Oh I love them)

But as of today, I start with rule no 1
NO more eating after 8 pm

Can you help me with the list for monday???

Good luck to all of you!

patty09

Hi
I am new to this so what do you mean by daily and monthly challanges.
I record my daily food intake and exersize is that it or what we place on this site?
Well done that you are working out every day.
I am not so into sports so I have to make a big effort.
I did yesterday 30 min on my cross-trainer 200 cal. That was a good start for me!

aholly70

well for daily challenges,you come on tell us a challenge like tomorrow we all should try to do 20 sit-ups,tricep kick backs, bicep cruls,and pusch ups.and then it gets to more and more.like today i did 50 of each,plus 45 mins on the treadmill runningand some walking.

patty09

sounds good but i am a biginner and cant do any push ups.
maybe you can help me with that
A great idea by the way

aholly70

Hi

Tomorrow is the day.
hunibun, sandif1, rsabey, La Donna are we all in!!!
Anyone else please join.
I have been trying to work out a little but have to build up my stamina it/s very low. After 2o min on the cross trainer I am tired.
My Old pair of jeans is hanging in my bedroom. This is the first time I get my kids involved, I told them what i want to achieve. My second son (8) says he wants to be my coach, so sweet.
I asked my hubby's support to do the measuring for me, ha ha. Yes he really thought that was funny.
I have changed my weight to lbs since all of you are using that.

GOOD LUCk to all of you and don't forget to weigh in tomorrow morning.

Hi (8.30 am lokal time in the office )

A very good morning to all of you.
Today is the beginning of a new me (ha ha)
I feel lots of new energy to give me a good start.
My weight as of today is 169.3 lb
My goal is 145 lb
So I would like to lose 24 lb

How?
Eating right
Exersize
Talking to all of you

I took all measuraments over the weekend.
Bought carrots, mushrooms, celery, whole grain rice, lots of fruits
Bought a digital kitchen scale

Started this morning with my ab roller (after I cleaned it with lots of dust and covered with clothes).
I did 50. For a girl with no stamina its a good start, I think .
I will do 50 again tonight and do it every other day.
My cross trainer stands in my kids studyroom.
When they do their homework i will go on it for 30 min./40 if possible.

I had a apple/carrot/celery juice for breakfast and have crackers for coffee time.
That's it for now.

Who is joining me!

Hello All,

I am ready to get started and went grocery shopping last night to make sure that I stay on track.

My weigh in this morning was 328 pounds.

My first goal is to gett under 300 and then I will know my next goal.

Good luck to all. By the way, I need to see what is wrong with my ticker.

sandif1

I also started today and I feel very motivated. My first goal is 196lbs. I weighed in this morning at 224lbs. I need to lose 28lbs. With the help of the lovely members of MFP I figure that to be a piece of cake no problem at all!!!!!!!!

Eava57

I had signed up on Friday so I showed a loss of 1 lb. today! :happy:
My numbers:
SW-192
GW-155

I have been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs. for months...I need to break this pattern and be more consistent . In May 2008, I was at 200 lbs. I feel good about that but need to step it up.

Have a great day everyone. :flowerforyou:

Good morning! I started working out a week ago, but just started this site over the weekend. Last week I worked out 30 -45 minutes a day Monday - Thursday, worked on portion control and lost 1.6 pounds. I started at 173.2 and am at 171.6 - I do my weigh ins on Sundays though. I have a friend here in my apartments who works out with me in the mornings, but she isn't trying to lose weight really so once I get my breathing back under control (my vocal cords spazm shut when my breathing rate increases instead of them opening like they should) and a little bit of stamina built up I'll start going 30 minutes in the morning and then 30 - 60 minutes at night as well.

I don't do the whole purging my house of junk food - not only because my hubby needs snacks that won't spoil to take to work (he doesn't always get to eat lunch), but because if I crave something (i.e. oreos) and put that craving off for too long I'll eat a at least 10-12 in one sitting instead of one or two if I eat them when I have the craving (I have been known to go to the store specifically to get oreos and come back with multiple kinds of cookies and ice cream both then binge on them). So we keep small amounts of junk food in the house, but the sweets are mostly kept in a box from copy paper out in the garage. Our garage is attached to our apartment & I don't go out there very often since my hubby parks his car there & mine is outside. (My choice, I have to walk farther to get to my car this way - every little bit helps right?).

Anyway, my overall goal is to be down to 140 by the new year. Depending on my progress I may make that 130, I just don't want to set a goal that's unrealistic and I don't know how I lose weight yet since I've never really tried to lose weight before. My weekly goal is to lose 2 pounds a week, and my daily goal right now is to drink 4 glasses of water. That will go up as I get into the routine of drinking water every day. I don't hardly drink anything right now, and try to avoid soda pop copletely. I usually do pretty good staying away from pop for the most part by telling myself the cans are for hubby to take to work. It works pretty good.

I think that's it for me. Good luck to all of you!!

Hi Everyone! Is it too late to join? I am just starting my diet today and was looking for support when I saw this thread. As of today I weigh the most I've ever weighed - 210 pounds. My first goal is to lose 11 pounds and get below 200. My ultimate goal is to reach 130 pounds (I'm 5'3).

I'd love to be a part of the motivation we all need on this journey! :flowerforyou:

spiralgirl71

Hi- I'd like to join your group. I'm starting today.

My weigh in this morning was at 204.6. My ultimate goal is to be in the "ideal weight" range for my height and that range is 118-132 pounds (I'm 5'2").

First mini-goal is to get below 200.
