Littlest Losers (week 7)

I'm throwing out a challenge this week! NO LATE NIGHT SNACKING! This a HUGE hurdle for me. I can do so well all day and then dinner hits, and i eat it, and then eat everything else in sight until i've eaten all my calories. So this week, no snacking after dinner. NONE. who's with me?

STORY OF MY LIFE!!!!!
i can max like a 1000 cals all day without feeling hungry... then its dinner time ... and then i want every fruit in the house, with yogurt, and nuts, and popcorn.. with some dark chocolate... and some cookies and milk lol

im in with this challenge. ill try having my dinner a bit later... maybe 7 and then thats IT! maybe ill drink some tea or something after.

im with the no late night snacking well snacking full stop in my case i tend toeat im full but then isee something and i nibble then i eat the whole thing feel ill afterwards but still keep doing it very bad for me
plan today involve loads walking again so plenty calories burned if only i can stay away from the chip shop for easy meals

What about dessert? Can we still have one healthy little dessert after dinner? Just asking...I can do without...maybe that is why I didn't have a loss. LOL

Ok - I will do it this week. I am trying to switch things up anyway. I am going to stick to 1200 calories this week - not eat back my exercise calories - but only for this week. See if that can jump start my weight loss again. I have 3 (make that 3.2 pounds) left to lose but it is taking forever!!!! If this is maintance then I am in trouble!!!!!!

Completed power 90 master series sculpt 5/6 this morning.
I will do a short power walk tonight.
I will drink 80 ounces of plain water
I will only have one fruit and one good carb (South Beach)
I will not snack after dinner!!!


Lets see if I can get a loss this friday!!!

Good luck everyone!!!

i found eating dinner a bit later helped me, tho i did have some papaya after dinner last night.. it was still totally not sinful!
i think if anything... ill have a few baby carrots or something like that but I AM IN on this 100%

=] good luck ladies

Alright I am going to do the 30 day shred tonight and maybe before bed some yoga to relax. I have had a good day with fruits and veggies. Went shopping so I have a ton of fresh produce! :bigsmile: makes you feel so good!

Its a hot one today so I am for sure getting in all my water! :drinker:

I am having a lot of difficulty losing the dreaded 10 pounds. Last year, as I approached 40, my metabolism crashed and my eating habits went out the window after I married for the second time and began cooking large, family meals. I was able to lose the first 5 pounds I gained immediately but I have not been able to lose the last 10 pounds. I have been exercising pretty consistently and have stepped up my routine in the last month. My husband and I also began tracking our meals on myfitnesspal a week and a half ago. I see now why tracking calories is important. Before tracking my calories, the splurge meal or day I allowed myself was probably double the calories I thought I was taking in.

Now, I'm tracking my calories (averaging 1200 cal./day over the last 1 1/2 weeks). I am also running/walking 2 miles 2-3/week and doing 1 hour of hot yoga each week. Why is the scale exactly the same?!! It's hard not to get discouraged. Any words of advice??

I am looking forward to the start of school, love the routine of the fall and the change in the weather to cooler nights!

I totally agree! Fall is my favorite season!

Just checking in... hungry today... not sure what is up with that. I eat a healthy breakfast, good snack and lunch. Maybe the chocolate was a trigger... I eat a little piece from the work kitchen. I will make a note of that.

Keeping up with my goals.


Note to fitmama,

I totally hear you. These last 10 pounds have been the hardest ever. I started on June 1st with Power 90 and June 6th with South beach because since Febuary I could lose a pound and keep it off. But since June 1st I have managed to lose and keep off 7 pounds. ( Gain and losing one more.) I am stuck again.. I was doing everything I could think of and nothing worked. I ordered Power 90 and started that and then revamped my eating (which by the way has always pretty healthy. It is very frustrating...especialy when other people eat whatever they want and don't gain weight!!!!

I don't have any helpful advice -except maybe switch things up. That help me for a little bit but I am still struggling. You are in the right place for support and motivation . Don't give up...keep at it...You are healthy for it, even if the numbers on the scale don't say what we think or want.

Have a happy healthy day!!!!

I count my dessert (a pot of Calciyum yoghurt) as part of my dinner

been doing better with keep within calories. Took the kids out tonight to kick off school year so went over by about 80 today but other than that doing better and keeping to one small snack in the evening for me.

Keep it up all.

And fall is my favorite season as well although going back to school when the temp here is 98 just does not seem right!!

down 0.4 to 135.4.......

So far so good today, did not get to exercise but did mow the law and got plenty of water in. Staying within calories, hoping for a loss.
Good luck tomorrow all!
