Join me...100 pounds to lose!

Hey, John. I too have over 100 to lose. I work a day job 14hrs sitting at a desk.... For me Im just going to try and change my eating habits. I so dead tired when I get home it is hard to think of cooking anything.... There lies the problem . Fast foods and sweets have got me into a terrible mess. Hopefully we can find ideas to make the journey enjoyable. I found I cant use portion control when it come to some things just cant have them. Thats ok I want to feel better.... Thats no. 1 for me... PJ

Count me in! I need all the motivation I can get!

Question for you guys? When i go walking I ususally walk 5 miles in 1 hour and 5-10 minutes. What mph do I log that as. I think i walk fast but not sure. I have been putting it as 3.5mph. But if i walk 5 in an hour should it actually go as 5mph instead?

We all slip here and there girl. But with this group we are learning from each other and with the support we will start slipping less and less, until we just don't even miss those things. You are doing great and a Big CONGRATS on your weight loss this week that is AWESOME!!!

Well from last week I've lost 4 lbs to make a total of 6 lbs.. I've never lost that much weight in a week or 2 weeks before but with all the motivation I've done pretty well so I must say thank you to you all.

I have slipped and eaten a few days over my cals up to 100 cals over, even eaten some fried food. I'm refusing to feel guilty over it. I did it, what's done is done and just move on. I've seen a lot of that and actually its helped me not stress over it and gain weight from the stressing and beating myself up because I just get right back on track. I'm learning so much from all of you and thank you for that too. Everyone is doing a great job regardless. Giving it our all, and thats the best thing we can do!

Congrats to all on the weigh in this week.

Hi! I'm new here - just joined today and like everyone else, I too, have over 100 lbs to lose; it's probably closer to 150 lbs, however, I haven't stepped on the scale yet I'm just guessing because I'm afraid that once I do, I'll be so thoroughly depressed that it'll throw me into an eating binge, so I really, truly, absolutely will need all of the friends that I can get!! Add me as a friend and I will do the same because as it's been said . . ."that's what friends are for!" Good luck everyone!!!

Yes dear I know how you feel. For years I would cry if I saw a scale and when I would go to the doc. I would close my eyes and ask them not to tell me. But we are all here for each other and I will add you I love making new friends on here it really has helped keep me on track. You will see it will you too, remember we are all worth it and we will all get our goals!!!!:flowerforyou:

If you walk 5 miles in 1 hr 5 min, that's 4.6 mph, if you walk it in 5 hr 10 min that's 4.3 mph. If you use a HRM it doesn't really matter since you'd be putting those calories, bt if you're using the mfp amounts I'd probably round down to 4.5 or 4 mph so you aren't over-estimating the calories - especially if you eat your exercise calories. Hope this helps!

I Can't Wait Until Monday When I Can Go Grocery Shopping And Get Back To Eating How I'm Used Too. LOL Not The Old, Old Bad Way But Since Poor College Student Status Hit Hard This Month I Relied On My Meal Plan At The School And Just Made Careful Choices [And They Paid Off I Still Lost The Weight] But I've Become Completely Obsessed With Knowing Exactly What Went Into My Food And How Many Calories It Was. it Bothers Me Not Having An Exact Calorie Count Even Though I've Gotten Pretty Good At Reading When My Body Needs A Little More And When I'm Done For The Day. I've Also Become Accustomed To Cooking My Own Meals And Trying To Stay Far Away From Processed Foods. I'm Also Noticing More And More That Starchy Foods [Potatoes, White Rice, White Breads] Cause Serious Bloating To The Point Of Discomfort. These Lifestyle Changes Really Have Caused Me To Get To Know Myself A Lot Better.

The Only Habit I Can't Seem To Kick Is My Love For Diet Pepsi And/Or Coke Zero. But Just Between Us I'm Not Really Freaking About It. [The Aspartame Police Will Probably Come For Me With Pitch Forks Now]

I would like to join your group as well

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

I spent a nice day with hubby, going to flea markets, and EATING way to much, but tomorrow is a new day!!! :happy:

Makes me thankful weigh ins are FRIDAY!!! :bigsmile:

Tomorrow I post the new challenges for the week, so be on the lookout!! :huh:

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

That's why you had such a long leisurely walk for your exercise. Your day yesterday was similar to mine. We went to our State fair which is not that big (the western washington state fair is bigger). I saw my niece ride and then we walked around the fair. I did an OK time staying away from food temptations there but we had a family party later:ohwell: . I just squeezed under my goal thanks to the extra exercise calories but then it is hard to post every little bite (I'll have to look up pickled okra):embarassed: I would wish you happy Sunday but being on the west coast I am always behind most everyone else on here. So happy whatever!

Sign me up.....I am Jessica, mother of 4 ages 6,4,2,and 6mos. Was 200 lbs when I got PG with my first and now am 270lbs. My goal is 170lbs @ a size 14-16. I have been at this for a week and I am not seeing any results. I am truthful about what I eat and the exersize I am doing and nothing. This happened to me about 18 months ago. I tried to get healthy started working out 5 days a week spent 6 months losing and gaining the same 3 lbs. I got frustrated and quit. I am scared the same thing is going to happen. I have upped my exersize everyday but any tips would helpful.
