A NEW ME - 2010 Weight Loss Challenge!

Ursula, 6lbs!?? Thats AWESOME! Congrats!:flowerforyou: :laugh:

Hi everyone,

August 2009 - 272
Jan.1, 2010 - 268
Jan. 16, 2010 - 268
Jan. 23, 2010 - 264.5

Total Weight Lost: 7.5

is anyone else having a terrible weekend foodwise?

i am just so hungry all the time, and feeling a little down too, i seriously need to get back on track tomorrow, going to bed now, at least there is no food there!

any helpful advice or maybe a stern word to get me back on track, feel like ive ruined the whole weeks weigh in for next week :brokenheart:

:sad:

I'm having a terrible time too. Low fat ice cream Friday night, a glass of wine last night, and heart healthy waffles this morning. I'm not over my calories, but only because I've been exercising. I just really miss DH this weekend...
Don't worry about ruining this week. Every day is a chance to start over. We just learn from our mistakes and use the way we feel after binging as a reminder of what not to do. **hugs**, it will be ok!

I'm not having a bad weekend (food wise) at all but I would like to say that everyday can be a struggle :grumble: ... you have to remember that this is a life style change so there will be days that it is not perfect :flowerforyou: .. all you have to do is make your next meal healthy and move on... you can't do anything to something that has been done all ready... This is a learning curve that you will learn to overcome and conquer! Drink your water, exercise a little more then usual and eat healthy meals...

I think your not eating enough protein and complex carbs in every meal.. this could be why your always hungry.. try having this in almost every meal and see how you feel at the end of the day, I bet you won't be hungry all the time.

Examples:

M1 - Egg whites with veggies
M2 - Protein shake
M3 - Chicken with green beans and a piece of fruit, grapefruit maybe (only 1/2)
M4 - Fish with a salad
M5 - Steak, sweet potatoe and veggie
M6 - Protein shake or some source of protein to keep you full before bed.

These are just example's of meals during a course of the day.. Remember protein keeps you full and the complex carb give you energy.. Hope this helps! :drinker:

Lost 2 pounds from last week. OK going in the right direction again.
Ahha moment this week. As I chatted with my neighbor and she, as others have exclaimed, you will look awful if you lose 15 pounds... I of course have been there heard that before. I am not a stupid girl I wear so many layers of spandex my husband says "oh you have your armour on today.." it is all about redistributing haha. Anyway my ahha moment was realizing I have become a master at maintaining my current weight. I have been very strict, at least I thought, and I have completely changed my eating and exercise from 18 months ago, Down about 40 pounds. Yet I have bounced around the same 5 pounds for a year. I need to up the anty! I am tweeking my goals decreasing calorie intake. The thing with my calorie intake is I remember 2 days later oh yeah I also ate... I know I do this so I need to factor in the fudge factor . SO the reality is I innocently enough report I eat fewer calories than I do. Today and going forward I accept this, but I will set my limit lower to actually be at my goal. I have my blow out days too, that is OK on maintainance, I can accept that, but I am scrounging to find 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. I am going to quit allowing myself a blow out day here and there until I am back to a stabilizing, maintainance phase. Oh and while I am on a roll and outing my poor habits I will say I am an inconsitant exerciser. I cannot count on myself to exercise, I hate it so, so I am comitting to actually a smaller exercise goal. I think if I set myself a smaller goal I will actually do it. The previous goal seems so looming I would discount the whole idea instead as impossible instead of doing 30 percent of my goal. Alright then that is my rant for the week. I am so happy to be down this week. I think after a rough week for some of us last week it is good to have a decent week. Good Luck and stay focused this week! Christy

Here's my stats for the week:
12/31- 190 lbs
1/7- 187 lbs
1/21- 183 lbs
1/28- 182 lbs

1 lb loss. I hope to do better next week. I have 7# before my first goal weight when DH comes home on leave...I'd better get working!!

8 lbs lost total in 2010.

You are all doing so well! I'm seeing some good numbers this week! Do we have a challenge for next week yet?

i seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth. I weighed last week but didnt log and weighed today as well. Its been busy...trying to get back to work from this back injury isnt working as well as i would have hoped.
Anyway...sounds like everyone had a great couple weeks. I the new challenge of making and sticking to goals!

good luck this week and have fun

SW: 158
1/21: 157
CW: 155

Congrats to all the loses this week! For those who didn't lose, just stick with it and stay positive.

Goals for this week:
FAITHFULLY record everything I eat (I tend to falter around dinner time)
At least 30 min. of exercise every day (except Sunday)
Stay away from the cheese! Cheese is my weakness

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Goingto loseit- I noticed you mentioned cheese as a weakness and along with PB, cheese was definatly a favorite of mine but both are LOADED with fat! My natropath suggested cutting out dairy and wheat as they are common allergens and can slow weight loss if your body is already having trouble digesting them.So I have pretty much cut out all dairy for the last couple of weeks and I noticed this morning I had some cereal with milk and instantly had a belly ache. Interestesting now I don't want the cheese so much either!
I also have trouble logging around supper but that has been my focus this week too.
