    Just checking in. I've been doing my exercise four times a week. I jogged on the treadmill today for 35 minutes and as far as food goes, this weekend wasn't nearly as bad as last weekend, so I'll count that as a win. But I still need to drink more water. I'll be weighing tomorrow for the first time since starting and I'm hoping that I've lost some weight... Good luck to everyone this week.

    New Beginning: Do not get discouraged. I was where you are right now last year and guess what! I lost a lot of weight. 66 lbs. I am now at 159. Don't give up - you can do it and I am living proof. I have two kids and had just had a baby before losing all of this weight... I am looking to lose another 25-30. I start the Biggest Loser Contest at a local gym near where I work on Tuesday and am very excited to make this year as successful as last. Goal is to where that damned bikini or something close to it by June... Good luck and don't give up!

    Hi Folks,

    My first week's done and I met my goal - I lost 3 & a quarter pounds !! :smile:

    This despite the fact that I pretty much let go over the weekend :drinker: and never felt the slightest pang of deprivation. Maybe thanks to the fact that I walked more than I had planned. Anyhow, seems to be a good start. I am hoping that I can continue to lose at the same steady pace.

    Best Regards,

    - n

    startfromscratch--good luck on your weighin tomorrow. i'm also psyched for the salad challenge this week. i like that it's realistic but not lazy.

    i've noticed since i've started caring more about what i eat, i feel more confident with myself. it doesn't really even have to do with the weight, because with 4 pounds there's not really much of a noticable difference. however, i went to a party on saturday and didn't feel anxious about myself, or if i was eating too much, or if people were thinking i was 'fat' or anything. i love the self-confidence i'm gaining :)

    good luck for the next week ahead everyone :heart:

    Im on some medicine that cuts my appetite......I had a real busy day yesterday and noticed that i was trying to eat 1000 calories at 8 at night ( although im up until 1 am) it was alot....

    My calories are 1240 a day. If I didnt eat the 800 I would have been under by alot. What do others do in this situation?

    You would think eating less would be better for weight loss but i know they say anything under 1200 is starvation......im stuck.....

    Hi NewBeginning

    If its really late and you have lots of calories to eat through don't feel that you have to cram in an extra 1000 calories. If your under by alot one night - if its only once in a while that this happens its not bad on the body. Sometimes changing your calorie intake like that (but not doing it often) is good - it keeps the body guessing - which is good for your metabolism - sort of like zig zag dieting.

    I personally don't know how anyone can only put in 1200 calories a day. I struggle with 1600 and I have to exercise just to be able to eat more.

    Darn I need to control my eating!

    Hi Myth

    I can't do your mindless drinking tonight!!! I have to have a blood test done tomorrow and it requires no food no water for 12hours.

    I wonder if I heard the doctor wrong... I can understand no food before certain blood test..

    BUT NO WATER????? hmmmmm.... thats tough!!! maybe I need to check this again.

    Im doing 24hr urine test.

    ITs TOUGH!

    Hello Myth,

    I bought several shades of letuce leaves in the produce section of a super store. They had Romaine, spinich, red leaf, and 2 other leves that looked edible. Should make for a great salad. I like lots of different greens to make the salad look pleasant. Will use a little salsa as dressing.

    Thanks Myth, made it thru yesterday without doing much damage!! Darn if my son and grandaugter didn't stop in last night with Dairy Queen, but I shared mine with Aubrey and didn't each much of it at all, so that in itself is an accomplishment! Ate my salad last night for dinner and will have one for lunch tomorrow and may even be daring and have a third one some time this week!! My mother brougt over half of a cake I love called "Dr. Bird" cake, and I asked her to please take it back home with her......she did. So I made it thru yesterday without going over my calorie limit. Of course the scale didn't show any weight loss for this week but I feel thinner!

    chipgal-- "other kinds that looked edible" -- haha :)

    Had a salad last night with dinner :) . And another success today--at McDonald's. We had a block off and everyone decided to walk to the nearby McDonald's for lunch. Unfortunately, I had money in my pocket. Usually I try not to bring money to school so I don't spend it on fast food... but anyways. I also had a perfectly good packed lunch in my bag, but I didn't bring it to the McDonald's!

    My success was that I limited myself to buying a hot chocolate, AND resisted the tempation to eat people's fries when they got full. I call that a win! I returned to school and ate my packed lunch instead :) Hooray :)

    Chipgal,

I could not use slasa for dressing atleast I dont htink so. I use wishbone vinegerette. I also use hard boiled egg, turkey, and 2% cheese. I can not eat iceburg lettuce I eat like earthbound mixture of a bunch of leaves! lol I did have a salad today when I was not expecting to, but hubby dragged me to Panera so I got salad! lol
