At least you didn't gain sollygirl so no worries!!! I can't wait til finals are over too Ash, I need a break! I'm so stressed out... I did spin class this morning, it was GREAT! I'm going to go to the gym again, cause I told my friend I would go with her, I need to go again anyways! ... then finally off to the grocery store!

Hey girls )

I see your chewing up to 30 thing per bite and thought I'd throw in another option for those who are not making it up to 30
hope you don't mind me poking in....I think i responded to this post the very first day and haven't been around on this thread since...

anyhow moving on to the other option.... take smaller bites (or mouth/fork/spoonfuls) and put your utensil down between EVERY bite to slow down your eating )

happy chewing! lol

Great Idea Thanks!!! Hopefully I will do better with this one!

MShay we are glad to have you! Fridays are weigh in days, whenever you get around to it. And we are trying this challenge of chewing 30 times each mouthful, but as you can see above we got some great new ideas because the chewing thing just wasn't working haha.

Thank you!! I did try the 30 bites and that can be real difficult with yogurt! haha:laugh: But I really like the idea of smaller bites!

Polliesgirl- Good call, I try and eat with small forks and spoons especially if its dessert cause then it lasts longer!

Mshay- Welcome!!!!

I finally went to the grocery store, I got some turkey burgers, never tried them but they looked good at trader joes... wow they have a lot of tempting sweet stuff out right now!

I'm 25. I want to get back to the size 5 i was when i was 21. Its so hard. I look at my size 5 jeans and its hard to believe that i actually fit in them at one point. i want to wear them again!

Nicole039

I'm 24- I would love to join! Need all the support I can get. I've lost about 20-25lbs. since I initially started changing my lifestyle. I am aiming to lose about 80lbs. all together. It has been hard and challenging, but it is important to stick with it and become healthier! I feel great!! Anyone live around Harrisburg, PA?

Lindsay25

I want to lose 35 lbs. Its so hard to eat well and diet when you live at home w/ your parents still. I cant afford to buy my own food right now and all my mom gets is unhealthy stuff. She wont listen when i tell her to get certain things, even tho my whole family could benefit.

Ah, i Feel your pain. I go home and my mom only has crap in the house. Like really mom you eat chocolate chips for what? dinner? She has sooo many of them haha. My biggest feat has been exercising. I haven't stuck great to my diet plan yet, mostly its been waking up and doing yoga then an excercise video or weight training later and I've lost 8 pounds in the last two weeks. And i've been eatting like a pig. So. There is a place to start. Try going to the store with your mom? maybe.

We are glad to have you new girls in here! Welcome!

I'm a 20 year old college student. I eat under stress, and I get stressed A LOT. I'm at my heaviest and I HATE it! Right now, I weigh 159, down one pound from my start weight, but it's better than nothing, right?

Yup sure is! You didn't gain and now your on your way, 1 pound down and how ever many to go... welcome to the group!

Girl, A few of us on here are College students. And we all know college is about stress! Once you start working out more and eating right, The stress level will go down, I promise! Good Luck and Welcome to the group!

ashmarie8722

So... usually by now I have quit working out and eating right. I'm not very good at self control. But I have found that weighing myself every day and taking measurements every few days is keeping me going. Seeing my progress is really helping me to stay on track, and Seeing how much it goes back up when I get off track is actually great too.

I have also decided that studying burns like 8000 calories an hour. Because I had Mcdonalds yesterday, multiple cups of lattes and other flavored coffee, quite a few snacks and even pizza for lunch. I did not even work out and yet I stayed even. Spending 9 1/2 hours in the library is really good for something haha!

So I have NOT being doing good this week. I dont remember the chew thing until I'm almost done with my meal, I have been eating bad, and have only exercised once this week. Usually once I start to blow it I just give up on the whole week but I really dont want to do that. I have eaten unhealthy food, but havent been eating that often. My calories havent been way over (well they were on monday). Its only Wednesday though and I do not want to blow this whole week. Today I had yogurt and coffee for breakfast and when I feel a little hungry again I will have 2 clementines. I need to get back to eating small meals and go to the gym for real. The weather out is awful, it snowed all night but its been raining for a few hours so its all slushy. I am going to do a yoga/pilates video when I get home and run up and down the stairs in my apartment complex (inside stairs) for 15 minutes. That way the weather CANNOT be my excuse. Ok I will post back once I have done this.

Great job to everyone on trying to stick with the challenge from the group and their own personal challenges.

I have my first law school exam in 2 hours..wish my luck!!

learning2fly4

Hope you did well on your tests Meg!

One reason I am glad to be done with school, but someone forgot to tell me that studying for the CPA was just as crappy. I am starting to study for my next part this weekend, so I am taking that test on 1/5/2010.
This is my second time through taking these exams and they are very hard.

Ah! I feel ya girl! I have been in the library soo much this week. Most likely the most i've ever spent here. 9 hours yesterday and i'm working on my 7th for tonight even through i'll prolly make it to 8.
The worst part isn't not getting to work out it is that McDonalds is the only convenient thing on campus.

Break will be so nice for working out and sleeping in. haha.

I have finals next week, SO not looking forward to them! I went to the gym today, too cold to run outside, I just finished eating dinner though and its 9:30!... had to go to my friends for a homework thing and it took longer than expected. Oh well, I had a very yummy healthy dinner. I hope you guys have a great day tomorrow!

Ah week one is almost over! How is everyone? I'm ready for weigh in tomorrow, actually kind of excited to see how myself and everyone else did.

Have a wonderful day.

VballLeash

I forgot about weigh in! I'm not really trying to lose, although I wouldn't mind losing a few and I've been eating a little less so we'll see! I did spin class again this morning and the row machine and crunches... good workout, was done at 7:30, I love being done with my workout that early, I think I'll do spin again tomorrow, its too darn cold to run outside and the treadmill is just not fun! I'm sure you did great ash marie you'll just have to wait and see! I hope everyone else is doing great!
