    Thank you Lord! I made it through day one and it wasn't too bad. I stayed within my calories, exercised and didn't eat the calories that were earned. I feel great and am looking forward to another great day tomorrow. I WILL get this weight off.

    By the way, I logged everything that I ate today. My goal is to log in the food diary daily, including weekends.

    I hope that everyone else is doing well. Good night.

    Thanks so much Patty.

    patty09....dont forget me...I guess I didnt give you my numbers yet....Im 172 with a goal weight of 160 and I would be happy to maintain that 160. I will need all of your support to stay at 160. For me that is the ultimate challenge (to keep it off)
    My goals this week are to work out three times a week.
    And to log in all my food in the food diary.
    Stay within my calories allotted.
    A suggestion for those who need something sweet every so often. Try a south beach bar...they are low in sugar, with a little protein, and really help with that sweet craving.
    Stay true to yourself. YES WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!

    Morning everyone! I was so psyched about this group yesterday. It is the first thing I told my husband when I got home from work.

    I did well Monday. I logged in all of my food. I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3 DVD and then 10 minutes of ab work. I made my daily calories but didn't eat most of my exercise calories. I got in all of my water. I'm going to try to eventually switch my workout to the morning so I have a better idea of how many extra calories I have. But as long as I get a workout in...I'm not going to be too picky about what time of day it is.

    My mini-goal for August 3rd is continue logging in my food and getting my workouts and water in each day.

    Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!

    Good morning everyone

    It's nearly bed time for me. I did my cross trainer yesterday and gave it a rest today. I can still fell it in my legs. Every other-day looks better for me
    Watched my call. and calling it an early night so I won't start pigging out on snacks
    Hunibun please don't over do it in the beginning that can turn you off. 2 hours is a lot!! Make sure you check your hartbeat.
    Spiralgirl, please check some other topics, they all tell you to eat your exersise calories to see the best result. good luck. Good to have you here
    Enjoy

    Hello,

    I just started on Sunday and would like to join your group if I am not to late. I am currently at 216 and my first mini goal would be to get under 200. I take a zumba class (latin dance aerobics) a few days a week and just ordered the Chelean express dvd's that I read about in these boards. Exercise I can handle, for me the biggest struggle is making better food choices. My days start out good and then someone wants to go out for lunch and it always sounds better then the Lean Cuisine I have in the freezer. Anyway, that's my story, I hope to join this journey with you all.

    Angela

    I'm excited about this group! I already feel more motivated. I was kind of bad last night, I had a piece of cake, it was my son's birthday, but I scraped off the icing and ate cake only. For some reason, this made me feel less guilty. lol

    Anyway, my mini-goals for this week are to eat more fruits and veggies and to get my 8 glasses of water in every day!:drinker:

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hello everyone! I'm new to this site, just joined today. I'd love to be a part of your group. I just had a baby 9 weeks ago. I am at my highest weight ever - 280lbs. My first weight loss goal would be to get down to 200lbs. But, my long term goal would be to weigh around 150. I can't wait to get started!!!

    Welcome everyone,
    We have quite a list of people joining this thread. Good for us.
    angelae39....eating out is a tough challenge but I have to tell you there are good choices. I always bring my own salad dressing in a tupperware. So , a salad is alway a option. Ask for no cheese, just veggies.Usually when I so no cheese I get more tomatoes. Grilled meats is also a good choice.
    Look over the menu most times there is something that is lower calorie.
    tyjenn1....good job scraping off the frosting. Your did consume fewer calories.:wink:
    dawnndamen....Welcome....you have the most beautiful baby. I can just smell the wonderful baby smell from here.:flowerforyou: Is this your 1st baby? What is his/her? name?
    globes24......riding a bike to work is a great workout. Good for you. Welcome

    I got in my workout....20 min stationary bike...and 15 min. treadmill. I have exceeded my goal of 30min.
    My food choice have been good so far. Now Im on the way to the show with my husband and must avoid the popcorn. I guess I can just inhale the smell. That wont make me fat ....will it?
    Good Luck on your food choice for the day.

    angl...this is actually number 4 for me. I have two daughters, 12 and 9, and my two boys, 7 and 9 weeks. Their names are Makayla, Bailey, Ben, and DJ. They keep me extremely busy. On top of that, I work 12 hour days at my job. It makes it hard for me to find time for anything. But, I'm determined to lose this weight, so I'm going to make time somewhere!

    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
    Then just make your goal to be to get in 5 pushups a day. Soon enough you will be able to do 10. It is a slow process, but if you keep using the word "can't", then you won't. Always try a challenge and put in what you can do. Even if it is just 1, it is better than none at all. You can do this and we will all be here to cheer you on. :bigsmile:

    Patty that is great that you got in your exercise and logged in your food. Believe it or not, you really need to eat the extra calories you earned for your exericise. That will keep your metabolism going, so you will lose weight. I know it is confusing, but you need to eat in order to lose weight. It is highly recommended that you eat 5 mini-meals a day. I know it is hard at first, but you can do it. Just make sure to plan ahead and anything is possible.
    Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:
