    here_to_lose

    Welcome! :flowerforyou: I am also 29, trying to lose weight before my 30th in May! We can do this, sister!

    TaraJ16

    Sounds like you had a full day! I went to a holiday party last night and ate bad -- though I kept my portion sizes small. I did end up having most of a can of Sierra Mist soda, as I didn't think to bring water and soda was the only provided drink. It was actually kind of gross! I'm a little mad at myself for spending 140 (or was it 170?) precious calories on that! :laugh: But I DID manage to avoid the desert table completely (which is good, seeing as the soda was was too much sugar anyway).

    I can't even begin to guess at the calories in what I ate last night, but the scale is showing the same number as yesterday, so I suppose it can't be too bad. Just getting right back into my healthy eating today -- nothing drastic, no cutting back my calories or going crazy with extra exercise -- just moving on!

    Happy Sunday, all!

    Mornin' all!

    Weighing in today at 197.8 -- a loss of 2 lbs for the week!

    Now my challenge is to continue losing while on vacation this week. I don't think exercise will be a problem, but proper diet may be. My plan is to drink lots of water, eat lots of veggies and lean protein when available, and have really small portions of holiday fare (avoiding deserts at all cost! :laugh: )

    If I don't check back in before I leave -- Happy Holiday's, everyone!

    Weighed in this morning. 218. Up one pound from the holidays, I guess I should be thankful it was only one! It could have and should have been a lot worse. Hang in there everyone. The holidays are over, and now we can really focus on our goals, stick together, and accomplish what we want!

    well i started at 234, and weighed in at the same this morning :( but thats ok, just the kick in the *kitten* i need to get back into gear and take on this weight loss full force!!

    tke - couch to 5k is a program that says it can get you from never running, to running a 5k during their program. you can google it and you'll find the program, theres also different podcasts you can get to go along with the program - they tell you when you walk/run ect

    Happy Monday, all!

    I almost forgot to check in today. Down to 196 even. Blasted through that holiday gain!

    I've been keeping my calories in check (right between 1200-1400, depending on exercise, not always eating all my exercise cals... too much food!!) trying to keep my water between 12-16 cups per day... last couple of days have only gotten 10 per day. Exercise wise: finishing level 3 of Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred, started adding Walk Away the Pounds (2 miles) and a little yoga for some extra cardio/stretching.

    Going to be starting the Power 90 workout on Jan. 18th!

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Hello all!

    Weighing in at 194.0 -- exactly 2 lbs down from last week -- down 10.8 from my December 4th starting weight of 204.8 -- and down 15.9 from my highest weight of 209.9 last April -- woohoo!

    Finished the 30 day shred today, which was kinda awesome. I'll post my beginning and ending measurements once I take my ending measurements tomorrow. :laugh:

    Going to take a "rest" week this week -- no strength training, just planning on doing Walk Away the Pounds for some good cardio to keep the fat loss going. Next Monday I'm starting the Power90 workout.

    It's been an amazing month -- can't wait to see what the next one brings. :happy:

    Happy Monday!
