Eat Healthy; Get Fit; Lose 100+ New Group 1st Weigh in Jan.

hey all hows everyone doing? iv been tryin to up my excercise (which was pretty much zero! so shudnt be too hard lol) iv taken my dog on extra walks, which he is lovin and iv been going swimming,did about ten lengths, was lots of fun forgot how much i enjoyed swimming - i was always too embarressed before but i know i was bein silly n if i want to shift this weight i need to get a grip and be more active! x

Can't wait for tomorrow's weigh in. I've been weighing in on my Wii Fit every day, and the numbers keep going down and down. My home scale is only 1 lb difference, so I'm very excited. Provided I don't gain anything today, I'm looking at a 3 lb loss! It's a first. Hoping that 3 lbs will stay tomorrow.
See y'all at weigh in!

Well morning has arrived! And the reading on the magic scale was..........239.9.......... that is a 3.9 loss for the week!

I'm so happy I'm under 240. Yeah me!!! I have reach my first goal 24 days early!!!! Can't waiting to see how everyone else did this week! The only thing I have changed this week is I started drinking a gallon of water a day.

I hope everyone had a great week! Hugs!

Wow thats almost 13 pounds lost so far good for you keep up the good work!!!!

I had a BAD week or well not bad I am trying to shock my body from a Plateau, I started in the middle of November and I was dropping 3-4 sometimes 5 pounds a week and last week I had a 6.2 pound week so I thought still eat healthy but give your body a rest this week and then kick it into over drive next week "for some bigger numbers"

So last week I was 245.4 to 244 so 1.4 pounds still good but hoping to see the 230's next week

Excited to see how well everyone else did !!!!

Just weighed in at 221.8, I think my weight last Friday was 225.8
That's a 4 lb loss. MY VERY FIRST 4 LB LOSS!!
Holy toledo, Batman!

Looks like I'll be hitting 30 lbs by the time I see my doctor on Feb 3rd afterall!

Ok so when I first started I was pretty much starving myself with only eating about 1000 calories and had lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I have read more about eating my calories and have been pretty good. I always make sure to eat at least 1200 calories and this week when I weighed I weighed 297. The first couple days I didn't lose anything then bam 3 pounds.

On another note, when I first started the first week I worked out 6 x second week 4x third week 3x. I just am not motivated to work out. Dont get me wrong after I am done I have more energy and feel great. Its putting the workout clothes on, knowing I am going to feel like a drenched rat, and just not having the energy to get started.

What I work out too, Biggest loser Wii Gold's Gym Wii and Fit Plus Wii. The first 2 are get me just a sweating and fit plus I dont feel like its a big enough challenge, but the others are almost to hard. I need something inbetween so I dont get frustrated. Anyone have suggestions.

i had trouble with my computer yesterday morning, dinner over at friends place last night and very busy today. It just left me no time to check in with all of you.:frown:

i did weigh yesterday morning and was 231. :happy: So this week's loss was 4.2, i certainly can tell i got more exercise time in and the weight training that i haven't done the last 3 weeks.

i will work at updating our chart and try to get it up by tomorrow evening. thank you to those who've helped make corrections for me.
we have a few folks that didn't get checked in yet, hopefully we will hear from them before i post the new chart.

congratulations to everyone that dropped weight this week. :bigsmile: it feels good to be moving in the right direction.-katie

Just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing..its good to see everyone is so successful this week!

welcome pgmorgan and brendar-:flowerforyou:

we have been weighing in on Fridays. We have started a chart to help us track this great life changing effort.
Please post your starting weights and we'll put you in the group.:bigsmile:

last week's chart is on the last page on thicansxy's post ...i will be posting this week tomorrow and would be glad to add you. -katie

well- here is this week's chart.:happy: hope i got all the corrections included. we still are missing a couple of folks, but hopefully they will get checked in soon. Congratulations on all the great work.:drinker: It looks impressive all added up. Just 3 weeks into this we've really put away the pounds already. Keep up the good work.
(and once again, feel free to let me know what corrections are needed. :flowerforyou: -katie

sorry tearose:embarassed: - i had you on last week, but you've never given us any weight in your posts.
i have to have a number to subtract 6 from.:frown: the first chart i made is on page 8 and you are one of the ones on it without information entered, because i didn't have any numbers (or missed them).

when you came back this weekend and said you just wanted to say hi, without sharing your weigh-in; i (wrongly) assumed you wanted to chat here, not weigh-in with us.

my bad, and i apologize. :embarassed: I will add you back in. Do you know your starting weight, the 8th, 15th, & 22nd? i will plug the numbers into the chart & correct it.

Please forgive me:ohwell: i mean well, but sure can make some big mistakes. -katie

I was up 2 lbs for the week...up even more today. I am so puffy and bloated I'm not sure how much is actual weight gain and how much is water. I did eat like food was going out of style though. I took my little guy to his first movie for his birthday and I ate handful after handful of cherry nibs...I kept saying "they're fat free" as I was shoveling them in. Sigh...that was just the tip of the iceberg too.

Fresh start today, I'm going to try to get re-motivated and excited about this again but I'm afraid it will be hard. I'm a stress eater...and I have a lot of stress lately. Wish me luck!

wow Katie I am loving your chart make me really see the weight loss!!!!!!

Christine - I went to the movies this weekend and ate a hole bag of popcorn (no butter) and was thinking about those cherry nibs as well, and was probably up this morning from it but instead of feeling bad about it I said "I enjoyed it" now its a new week BACK ON TRACK Everyone has to teat them selve every now and then as long as you get right back at it you'll be fine

Good luck this week ladies, I'm hoping for a 5-6 pound drop this week!!!

Hey does anyone no what the gum that Bob from the biggest loser always tells the contestants to eat?!?!?

extra is good, but orbit gum has xylitol for sweetener. it is better for tooth & mouth health.

xylitol is an interesting sweetener, because the germs in your mouth that eat sugar (then keep eating at your tooth enamel & make cavities); they think xylitol is sugar & eat it. But, because it is not sugar they cannot process it. So, they die.

I had a dentist tell me i should try to use xylitol 3 times a day in gum, mints or mouth wash.

:bigsmile: ha- science lesson for the day :laugh: - katie
