Don't be discouraged!! Keep at it, we can do this!!0 -
Glad to see everyone checking in. I had a great weekend. Exercised and stayed under my calorie goal. For me to get through a weekend without messing up the diet is GREAT!!!! Can't wait to Wednesday to weigh in, but even if I haven't lost, I know I will if I just keep at it.
Hope more of the 4-Week Challenge group checks in during the day. It would be nice to know everyone is still with us.

Hard to believe it's been 5 days already!!
Things are good on my end. Weekend was not great - but the good news to that is I did way better then before I was tracking my food. In other words I would have completely totally blown it out of the sky with caloric intake etc.
I know I'm down 1 lb from last week so it'll be fun to see if I maintain that for Wednesday's WI or if maybe I'll have more!!!
Either way it's been a big achievement for me and had some aha moments this weekend so I'll be happy no matter what!
Keep it up everybody! If losing weight wasn't hard, everybody would be successful and at goal. :flowerforyou:

Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. We can do this. It is a little easier for me knowing that others out there have the same struggles. Cheers,0

Wright there with you, I'am also down from last week, doing my very best to make sure I to can maintain.0 -
I am working out a lot, although I must say this past holiday did "force" me to drink a few beers:/ Hope I didn't blow it!0
-
Checking in! Did fairly well over the weekend, been struggling with binge eating and trying to understand triggers and how to conquer them. Feeling very motivated and ready close old doors and break through new ones!
This weeks personal goal: Drink 120oz of water EVERYDAY and eat 1 serving of green vegitable before every meal!
Weekly weight loss goal : 2 lbs!
Weekly Exersize goal: Make it to all 3 Zumba classes this week. Mon, Thurs, and Sun.0 -

Who's idea was it to start the week of St. Paddy's anyway??!! Haha, I must say I didn't have my usual consumption. I did restrain somewhat. Also, not sure of the calories for green food colouring. Hopefully not too much!!

Even though I didn't get the chance to do a proper cardio workout - I also didn't blow my weekend by eating a lot of junk. I was able to stay on track for once!0

I'm feeling very motivated this week! I'm focused on the Wednesday Weigh In and its enough to keep me away from the Easter candy!!0
-
Glad to see everyone is well.
My weight has been up and down, probably because I have also adjusted the way I eat. My body is still adjusting. On a positive note I have lost just about 1 lb.
I also set up a mini-gym in our front room for exercising. It cost me about $40 to do and when I walk by it every day I feel like I should use it more lol.
Anyway Legs are really soar from some cardio workouts so I'll have to make sure to stretch a little more.
I wish you all good health!~0 -
Egads, St Patty's Day and Easter...almost like Thanksgiving and Christmas! I did pretty good over the weekend with the calories, even if it wasn't the healthiest choices. In the past I would have gorged more on beer and corned beef
Good to see everyone is still checking in, even if a bit discouraged. Just being active and aware is a good start, now it's just about following through. Hoping I can make up for damage done over the weekend in the next few days for WW in 0 -

Aww, man!! I hadn't even thought about the Easter candy! Oh, well, who needs it? Losing the weight will be much more satisfying! Right?0 -
good so far except I didn't get my 8 glasses of water in yesterday. Going to burn some calories tonight doing Zumba. :bigsmile:0
-
As much as I've heard about Zumba I've never tried it.. Any video suggestions?0
-
They have the original Zumba creator DVD's out, but most people these days take it as a class in a gym/studio. The interaction with others just makes it fun and half the time I'm laughing with my friends that we kinda forget it's a workout..kinda 0

2 bad days in 5 isn't a great start!
I need to start exercising again, but have found I probably did too much yesterday (just general cleaning and cooking) and hurt last night and this am (had emergency gallbladder surgery 16 days ago)
My husband has flu and can't be bothered walking with me round town and I don't usually go out lone :-/
Fingers crossed weigh-in isn't too demoralising tomorrow

Can't believe it but I managed to stay on target with my calorie intake over the weekend. Tracked everything in our picnic before we left so couldn't eat anything extra. Did avoid all alcohol over the weekend, not just for my calorie intake but am off the cigs nearly 2 months now and don't want to jeopardize that either.
Only managed to exercise twice this week but definitely think tracking is a big help to me. Have even started tracking my spending at the same time to get the finances under control too!! :-P
Looking forward to the scales tomorrow morning. Hoping they give me a good result and if not as much as I hoped onwards and upwards. This is hopefully the start of a long term change all round for me!
Keep up the great work everyone!! (",)0 -
I am really looking forward to weigh in tomorrow! I've had a good week. Even the weekend! Super for me. It's been a long time since I've been able to string together this many good days. I think I'm finally on the right track to stay. It gets very frustrating to have 4 or 5 good days and then messing it all up. I do believe knowing that the weigh in was just around the corner has kept me motivated.
I've even been increasing my water intake. Another thing that has been hard for me.
Thanks for the motivation! Don't know if I could have done it without you all.
See you tomorrow at weigh in. Good luck!0 -
I thought I was plateauing and then I weighed myself this morning and lost 1.6 lbs! YAY! Can't wait to see if I hit my 2lb. goal for the week tomorrow! (:0

Hi everyone... just checking in along with the rest of you.
A little nervous about weigh in tomorrow honestly.. My daughter was in town this weekend, so ended up eating out a couple times.
nothing too major calorie wise, but I guess a lot of sodium.. Chinese food will do that to you
I gained a ton of water weight.. at least I'm assuming it's water weight, because no way scale would jump 6 lbs overnight. LOL
Been drinking extra water, etc and it's all dropping off.. Thinking I will just break even tomorrow.. but hey.. watch out.. that means next week it will just all melt away !0 -

I definitely agree. Zumba is incredibly fun and a totally different experience in class form than with a DVD. I'm actually a Zumba instructor so I do a lot of Zumba, lol. It's a great calorie burn.
As for my weight loss this week I'm not expecting much of anything
Yesterday began my TOM and the scale shot up 2 lbs. I know this is normal but it is still disheartening. Also didn't eat very well yesterday post weigh in. Grrrr. I am very determined to make today a great day nutritionally. Hope everyone is doing well! 0 -

Thanks for the tips girls I'll have to see if a Zumba class won't interfere with my martial arts classes. Ironically a local Zumba class is held by the wife of my master instructor for my martial arts classes. I guess I'll check it out and give it a try.
On a note today, I was getting a little worried about not losing much of anything. It doesn't really matter to me though. I know I'm doing the right thing which is encouraging.
Also I've noticed a big difference in my mood and overall energy. Although I'm soar from the workouts, I feel energized through the day. I hope this continues.
See you all tomorrow on the scale 0 -
This week has been going good so far with the workouts and eating. My clothes are fitting better, but I guess we will see what the scale says tomorrow. Good Luck everyone!0

Going to go on a long jog after work to try to burn some extra cals. Did good over the weekend but did bad yesterday oh well. I have to treat myslef once in awhile. Hopefully this run will work off that ice cream. Excited for weigh in tmw!!0

My daughter and I have really been exercising and eating well. My weight is coming off fine.0
