Just like on the show

Good luck everyone!

    I am not looking forward to this week's weigh in...I had a major binge one night plus I strained a muscle in my leg and haven't been able to workout as hard. Hopefully I will have lost at least a pound though (fingers crossed).

    Weigh in tomorrow could be interesting. I weigh myself each morning and it seems I've gone up a smidge and I haven't moved from there! But...now that I'm back to work on Monday morning...things will be "normal" with my eating habits again! Let's hope just 2 days of eating healthy again will get my back on track :)

    Ran my 2nd 5k yesterday...took 1:38 off my time from last weekend! YEAH :) I hope to do 2 races each month...getting ready for a 1/2 marathon in September! YIKES!!!

    Well, It was a fun weekend. lots of snow and not enough exercise. Defintely binged a little over the weekend.

    But it is Monday, and I am back on track.

    Starting Weight - 215
    Current Weight - 203.5
    Mini Goal - 190 lbs on March 1
    Final Goal - 125 lbs by Dec 1 Maintained.

    Monday,
    Did 20 minutes of ea active on Low
    Did 2 miles of 5 mile fat burning walking away the pounds with 2 minutes boosts
    Did 1 mile of walking away the pounds dvd for abs.

    Had a very sensible breakfast: 1 cup of special k, 1 small banana, and 1/2 cup of whole milk.

    Most people way in on Tuesday, the same night as the show. But the only important thing is to weigh in on the same day each week. All you have to do is post your starting weight (this week's weight or last week's if you know it) and then post your current weight each week here. I calculate and post the % lost. Here's how I calculate it.

    Last week's weight - this week's weight divided by last week's weight * 100.

    Example:
    last week 150
    this week 148
    150-148= 2lbs lost divided by 150 =.0133 x 100= 1.33% lost

    Happy Tuesday everyone!

    This week I am down exactly 1 pound. From 179.6 last week to 178.6 this week.

    Exercised 5/7 days
    Under Calories: 6/7 days
    Water: Needs improvement. Drank 4 glass 3 days out of 7. Even less water the other days. :-(

    This weekend, I was unusually NOT hungry. Usually weekends are the hardest. But this weekend I struggled to eat enough calories. On Saturday, I ate less than 700 calories, and on Sunday, I ate less than 800 calories. I my target is between 900-1000 calories (as prescribed by my weight loss doctors, nurses, and dietitians).

    Yesterday, I brought some microwavable Campbell's light soup to work for lunch. It tasted awful. I couldn't finish even half of it. So I had few calories for lunch. Also yesterday, my coworker returned from a trip to India and brought a ship load of Indian junk food back with him which sits on another coworker's desk. right next to the office door and only 1 foot away from my desk. People were coming in and out all day trying out the goodies. I finally gave in and tried one, because I didn't want to be rude. I tried to figure out the calories by searching for it online, but ended up just finding recipes and then entering the recipe into the calorie counter site, but I had no clue how many servings were made with one recipe. So I just guestimated. I wrote this in my food diary and did a great job of passing up those treats all day and sticking to my own snacks... until about 5:30 pm. I ate about 5 more pieces of those sugar packed treats. I honestly haven't given into any cravings like that in over a month. I have passed up everything from tres leche cake to fried plantains and all sorts of treats from coworkers' travels. But those Indian treats really got to me yesterday. Maybe because of my very unappetizing lunch and because the person who brought the Indian candies is my closest working partner, so I felt a bit guilty to skip them.

    I lost 2 lbs this week. i was 225 lbs today. Hang in there Saraketner, I'm sure it is just water. Don't give up. If you are anything like me that is when I throw in the towel. Don't do it. Keep coming here for support. I go to weight watchers multiple meetings in a week but I love coming here and logging in. CC you are doing great . . . keep it up.

    aimee, welcome


    Soooo sore from my workout yesterday (you can read about it at my blog if you like http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cc_campbell81/view/week-1-day-2-summary-17674) I was really tired but I pushed myself to do some exercise, mostly walking.

    Thanks! I'm trying to keep a positive attitude.. maybe shoveling 14 inches of snow tonight will be just the kick in the butt I need to get back on track!

    Where is everybody? I feel like we're down to just a small number compared to when we started! I have to confess...
    Yesterday after work I was SO unmotivated! I had to stop at the store before heading home and I was really hungry. SO...I bought some unhealthy snacks. I ended up not working out last night and eating a piece of a Reese's pie that I made and a WW sundae dessert while watching BL. I felt SO guilty but not guilty enough to do anything about it! UNTIL...this morning...I have a Snow Day today (oh, the perks of being a teacher) I have completed 30 day Shred Level 1 and Level 2 so far and hope to do Level 3 tonight (b/c Volleyball is cancelled).

    Alright everyone..I just had to confess to someone who would understand and also encourage me to get back on track :)

    OH...and I ate pizza and "pop chips" for dinner! YIKES!
