2 bad days in 5 isn't a great start!
I need to start exercising again, but have found I probably did too much yesterday (just general cleaning and cooking) and hurt last night and this am (had emergency gallbladder surgery 16 days ago)
My husband has flu and can't be bothered walking with me round town and I don't usually go out lone :-/
Fingers crossed weigh-in isn't too demoralising tomorrow

Can't believe it but I managed to stay on target with my calorie intake over the weekend. Tracked everything in our picnic before we left so couldn't eat anything extra. Did avoid all alcohol over the weekend, not just for my calorie intake but am off the cigs nearly 2 months now and don't want to jeopardize that either.
Only managed to exercise twice this week but definitely think tracking is a big help to me. Have even started tracking my spending at the same time to get the finances under control too!! :-P
Looking forward to the scales tomorrow morning. Hoping they give me a good result and if not as much as I hoped onwards and upwards. This is hopefully the start of a long term change all round for me!
Keep up the great work everyone!! (",)0 -
I am really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow! I've had a good week. Even the weekend! Super for me. It's been a long time since I've been able to string together this many good days. I think I'm finally on the right track to stay. It gets very frustrating to have 4 or 5 good days and then messing it all up. I do believe knowing that the weigh in was just around the corner has kept me motivated.
I've even been increasing my water intake. Another thing that has been hard for me.
Thanks for the motivation! Don't know if I could have done it without you all.
See you tomorrow at weigh in. Good luck!0 -
I thought I was plateauing and then I weighed myself this morning and lost 1.6 lbs! YAY! Can't wait to see if I hit my 2lb. goal for the week tomorrow! (:0

Hi everyone... just checking in along with the rest of you.
A little nervous about weigh in tomorrow honestly.. My daughter was in town this weekend, so ended up eating out a couple times.
nothing too major calorie wise, but I guess a lot of sodium.. Chinese food will do that to you
I gained a ton of water weight.. at least I'm assuming it's water weight, because no way scale would jump 6 lbs overnight. LOL
Been drinking extra water, etc and it's all dropping off.. Thinking I will just break even tomorrow.. but hey.. watch out.. that means next week it will just all melt away !0 -
They have the original Zumba creator DVD's out, but most people these days take it as a class in a gym/studio. The interaction with others just makes it fun and half the time I'm laughing with my friends that we kinda forget it's a workout..kinda
I definitely agree. Zumba is incredibly fun and a totally different experience in class form than with a DVD. I'm actually a Zumba instructor so I do a lot of Zumba, lol. It's a great calorie burn.
As for my weight loss this week I'm not expecting much of anything
Yesterday began my TOM and the scale shot up 2 lbs. I know this is normal but it is still disheartening. Also didn't eat very well yesterday post weigh in. Grrrr. I am very determined to make today a great day nutritionally. Hope everyone is doing well! 0 -

Thanks for the tips girls I'll have to see if a Zumba class won't interfere with my martial arts classes. Ironically a local Zumba class is held by the wife of my master instructor for my martial arts classes. I guess I'll check it out and give it a try.
On a note today, I was getting a little worried about not losing much of anything. It doesn't really matter to me though. I know I'm doing the right thing which is encouraging.
Also I've noticed a big difference in my mood and overall energy. Although I'm soar from the workouts, I feel energized through the day. I hope this continues.
See you all tomorrow on the scale 0 -
This week has been going good so far with the workouts and eating. My clothes are fitting better, but I guess we will see what the scale says tomorrow. Good Luck everyone!0

Going to go on a long jog after work to try to burn some extra cals. Did good over the weekend but did bad yesterday oh well. I have to treat myslef once in awhile. Hopefully this run will work off that ice cream. Excited for weigh in tmw!!0
