June Weight Loss Team

I am so mad... I'm not sure if it's more at myself or my husband. I really wanted to workout last night but he came home early and took over the tv. I wanted to tell him to turn it off so I could do my video but I didn't. AND somehow I gained a pound this week. :explode:

I have been beating myself up about this all morning so when I went to check in, I figured I would measure myself. I lost 3 inches from my waist and 1 inch from my neck, nothing from my hips (oh well). I think I ate too much fast food even though I staying in my calorie range all week. I probably need to workout MORE!!

YAY for inches lost...its not always about a "scale victory" Congrats.

Don't be mad at yourself or your hubby! That's called life and we have to push on. Don't make excusses about getting our workouts in. If you can't use that TV use another one in the house or workout before he gets home. Go into another room turn on the music and dance for 30 mins. that a great workout. I'm so glad you lost inches it still counts. I have learned don't wait until later or tomorrow because I'll just find another excuss not to do it then also. I want you to push yourself and push me too, thats why we are here. So today GET IT DONE GIRL!!!!

well, looks like a lot of people are writing little blurbs about themselves, so i decided to write one as well!

so i guess to start, i'm a 19 year old student trying to lose weight and get in shape. my image has always been an issue of mine, ever since about 8th grade i've been uncomfortable with my weight, even though i wasn't overweight at all lol. my junior year was when i first working and was working a lot, and i guess i decided to turn to food to deal with the extra stress and whatnot that i had, and gained about 15-20 pounds. so senior year rolls around and i say enough! and over the course of that year i manage to lose 15 pounds, was feeling great, looking good. and then summer comes along and something just snapped in me and i stopped caring. so very, VERY quickly i packed back on those 15 pounds PLUS an extra 12, bringing me to my heaviest weight to date. it wasn't until about the end of this april that i had any real motivation to work towards weight loss again, so i started eating a lot cleaner, and a lot healthier than i ever have in my life, and lost 5 pounds in about 3 weeks. i thought, great! well. then all my friends came home from school and i was done with classes, so going out increased and boredom eating became more and more frequent, and cheat days became cheat weeks. i was still eating my healthy foods, just with milkshakes, fries, and pie on top of it.

SO, that brings me to here and now, june and this wonderful thread of people. i want to make up for the time i lost in may by really trying hard this month, so i can get a nice confidence boost before i go away for school in the fall (which, i am really nervous in relation to this. i have no idea how easy/hard it will be to keep up my good eating habits when i won't have my own kitchen!).

to reach my goal my plan is to up my strength training and really try and stick with it, since that is what i always get super lazy with, so i'll be doing some strength training 3 days a week, and the rest of the days will be various forms of cardio. i am ready to do this, and i know we can all reach our goals :]

Good that you are taking control again. When you get to school in the fall, you will just have to take it one day at a time, and hopefully you will be able to stay on track. Will you be sharing a kitchen, or just no kitchen AT ALL? Because that would REALLY suck.

You CAN reach your goals...perseverance is the key. Good luck to you

thank you! and there is a kitchen, but it's just like a community kitchen, not one to store food in and such. and i'll just be living in a dorm so i won't really be able to keep too much food in the room either (only so much will fit!). but i was searching, and on the school's website, they have nutrition information on everything they serve in their cafeterias, so that is definitely helpful! i can at least see what's best and avoid what is really bad :]

nadine2unfit2bqueen - good for you! I totally agree with the feeling gross part. I'm an emotional eater. Something happens to complicate my day and all I can think of is gee what can I eat to make myself feel better? But it never really makes me feel better. I still have the same stress but now it's worse.

That's awesome that you ran home after a workout. You are very inspirational. Keep up the good work and congrats on your loss! :flowerforyou:

It has been a rough week! I didn;t lose anything on weigh-in on Tuesday. I actually gained a pound despite sticking strictly to my diet and excercising every day...then I realized that I had such a large calorie deficit that my body was in starvation mode. I have since started to eat some of my excercies calories, which I was not eting before, and though I have changed my weigh in days to Wednesdays to accomodate my new P90X schedule, I feel very optimistic!

Usually, if I slip up I have them mentality of "oh well I might as well enjoy everything now that I have cheated. I will start again tomorrow". This time I caught myself. It is embarassing, but I literally had something half way into my mouth, and was just about to let go, when I thought "why am I doing this...everytime I start losing weight on a diet I self sabotage. I am not even hungry"..still my hand lingered there but I was able to get back control and toss the food in the garbage. It may seem small but that was a good thing for me...it signaled that this time is going to be the last time. No going back. no binging. no excuses.

I'm sooo tired of constantly feeling like I need to lose weight, and constantly looking in the mirror and wishing this looked like this and that this bit was a tad thinner. I sooo sick of going to beach and wishing I had the body I always wanted. Yes, I have lost 50 pounds and kept it off, but it is time for those last 30 to go. They have been hanging around here for nearly 4 years and they have totally worn out their welcome! I am starting South Beach diet officially on Monday, though I am easing myself into it now. I know this is going to work, because I am finally at the place where I refuse for it not to work. Your support has really helped! I know that I can do this. I will kick 8 of those pounds by Jul 1st, and 15-20 of those pesky pounds by August 21st because I have done it before and I am going to do it again..and I deserve this! I am doing this for myself, for my peace of mind, and my happiness!

Congrats on your loss Nadine and welcome Nikkie. I just ate Wendy's but I feel ok. I'm within my cals and I'm not stuffed. I walked for 30 minutes before that and plan to do my video for 30 more. I also plan to make some great meals that will last all week so I don't go out to eat. Right now I'm outside enjoying the warm weather with the cool breeze.

arghh well i hope everyone is doing well! i went crazy with calories today and kind of yesterday. not the greatest start, eh? i think i'm going to start making weekly goals in order to achieve my larger goals. i think it might work better for me to think more short term than long term. i think it's easier for me to say i have to exercise hard and eat good for a week than thinking of having to do that for a whole month. less overwhelming on the mind i also think i'm going to think of incentives, like little rewards for making my weekly goals. hopefully this works! my goal for this week is to lose 2 pounds by next friday (6/11) :]

You must have read my mind! I would love for this group to roll over! Everyone is so supportive! Good for you for getting right back on track JoJo...that is what really counts! You Go Girl!

Good morning kids, just wanted to check in and say that I did not do so well yesterday. I totally gave into my own pity party and ate whatever I wanted, plus I worked until almost 7 p.m. again so all I was able to do was walk my dogs. I hate when I do that. I know better, I can certainly do better, but when I do one thing wrong I seem to just let everything else slide too.

I am going to town today to buy all my groceries for the Elite Nutrition Plan for the Insanity Program. I too am done making excuses and letting myself slide deeper into depression. Just like nikkieliivey, I have lost weight before and I will do it again, and I've come to that point that I can't not get serious. I'm tired of backsliding. This was supposed to be my best year yet, 39 years old, wanting to turn 40 in the best shape ever. I still have time but I need to get cracking.

I certainly hope you all have a great weekend and keep up the great work. I am very inspired by all of your posts. Everyone is doing so well. I too would love to roll over each month. It's a great place to come for support and inspiration. Happy Weekend Everyone!

Nikki I hear you on "this time is the last time!" this time it's not just a diet or an exercise program, it's a complete life changing plan, a total overhaul of the way I think about eating and fitness. I'm trying to change my eating habits to eating what my body needs to feel good and perform at it's best, instead of eating what looks the most decadent. Slowly as my bodies starting to adapt I find now what is healthy to eat is also starting to look the yummiest. Like my brain is finally connecting what it needs with what it wants

I feel I'm killing it this week! Yesterday I did some indoor climbing, jogged the hilly 4.5k home and the went mtn biking on a trail that is a 30min uphill peddle before going down. This morning I woke up anxious to do something at 6am so I did a quick arm workout followed by a 30 min run with 3 kick in the tush hills.

I weighed myself prior to excersizing and Im down another lb; 125

Also managed to say no to going out for beers last night! Was feeling to good to sabotage myself with $5 pints I can't really afford. I definitly feel as though right now I'm winning at life, and since I'm pretty competitive I sure hope I can keep it up!

my name is kizzy...just turned 30 on may 26....i was born in california, but raised in oklahoma...now i live in arizona...i've been living there since january 25...i moved there to help out my best friend whom i haven't been in contact with since 2000 and we just started talking again back in october....for the weekend i'm in oklahoma visiting mom, she is dying of lung cancer :-( so i thought i'd come here sooner than planned just in case she won't make it in october...she looks OLD!!!! from the last time i seen her back in january...

I would like to join. I singed on here a few months back, then lost track. Yesterday my 18 yr old was given some lab results and an 1800 calorie day eating plan to follow. Not really given-just told by doc to find one and follow it. So I decided to come back and get started myself and be her support system here at home.

I think my last weigh in was 214 and am shooting to lose 20 before my 30 yr class reunion in July.
Please add me, Stacey-to lose 14lbs by June 30
