Lost 1 lb this week. How about you guys?

HealthyKt78

About half a pound. Not as much as I hoped but I've been sick all week and haven't exercised.

I'm gonna copy and paste the link to this forum into the old one. That way people can find it easily.

TheGoblinRoad

Half a pound at a time would eventually get you to where we want to go, so that's nothing to sneeze at. Good job!

up a pound, but I feel like I have been getting my eating under control. I had about a two week freak out where I ate a lot of chocolate and ice cream and candy. Hopefully I am past that. I think that I lost motivation because I reached one of my target weights (pre-pregnancy weight). Now that I see how my bad habits are causing me to gain, I will get back into the rhythm that took off the weight. I just need some sort of strategy to deal with holiday-related temptation. Does anyone have any tactics that work?

I stayed the same this week, thanks to that b***h Mother Nature. :laugh: It's all right, that just means I've have an extra good week next week.

So...what are you guys doing to exercise today?

I'm gonna go to the gym and do a stationary bike for a bit. I've had a cold all week so I don't want to push myself too hard but I feel as if I'm ready to get back into it.

toots99

I went to the gym today and did 30 minutes on the elliptical...I am beat today and that was my version of taking it easy. :laugh:

I lost two pounds. I walked once today and I plan to either walk again later or do pilates. Stay strong through the holidays everyone!

Going to the gym made me feel 10x worse. Guess I'm definitely not at my best yet.

I'm gonna try and take the focus off food for either thanksgiving or christmas by seeing if there's somewhere I can volunteer. It's a thought.

What is this "exercise" you speak of?

:happy:

Kidding--but today is lazy due to work. I will probably try to get in a walk later.

get your mind out of the gutter, goblin...

poeticjustice_2001

up 1.5 lbs this week :explode:
It's ok, I know what I did wrong.
Starting Y-change at the YMCA tonight! :bigsmile:

TheGoblinRoad

get your mind out of the gutter, goblin...

who's in the gutter?

I was feigning ignorance as to what exercise actually is. Oh yeah, it's where we put one foot in front of the other for a few thousand steps until the treadmill says get off.

toots99

I haven;t been to the gym in a few days and I actually can't wait to get back in there in the morning! :happy:

toots99

How's everyone doing this week?

TheGoblinRoad

Not so great, I was at work last night and the original plan was to go out on a break and get subway, but then we got stuck working a bit longer and had to resort to eating the only thing available in the fridge: pizza.
Was up til 3am with heartburn.

toots99

Oh that's too bad.

You know, I've never had heartburn. I don't even know how to imagine what it feels like. But from what everyone says, it's awful.

I did well today, worked out and ate well. :happy:

TheGoblinRoad

Didn't do well at all this week! Got to get back on track tomorrow.

toots99

Weekends are tough...

TheGoblinRoad

So far better today. I just need to learn how to do the right thing when I leave town for a few days. We were off in Sacramento so we ate out several times, plus the car trips tend to lead to car snacks, and so on. Just bad habits I haven't broken yet.

toots99

I'm putting myself on house arrest...twice this week I went out with friends and drank too much which then meant Taco Bell at 3AM! Ugh, I feel like crap!

I'm headed out to food shopping later to stock up on lots of fruits and veggies for the week.

poeticjustice_2001

Checkin 11/16 : lost a pound this week. not as much as a I wanted, but at least no gain...
hope everyone else is doing good with their weightloss goals this week! :drinker:

toots99

How's it going everyone? So far I've been on track all week, hopefully the rest of the week will be just as good! I'm off to the gym...hope evryone's doing well!

poeticjustice_2001

are we not doing check-ins anymore?

:ohwell:

ToeTapN

So sorry everyone. I went AWOL the whole time that my husband was traveling. I think I still did pretty well with my eating and exercise but I did not log on or track my food. I hope to get back on track now. Who is still in?

poeticjustice_2001

I'm here! going out of town in the morning for the Holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving and good luck to everyone with your diet!:drinker:

toots99

Where did everyone go? I hope everyone's keeping at it!

poeticjustice_2001

I guess they all meant they're goal weight and left! :laugh:

Well lucky them! :laugh:

I gained a few myself, but I've been back on track eating right and working out. I'm confident those pounds (and then some) will come back off.
