Less Than Him

Hello Ladies!
Sorry I wasn't able to post anything on weigh in day. My family went on vacation Thursday, and got back yesterday. It was a great weekend, and the town we stayed in was really lovely.

We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast that had an amazing breakfast selection, so I knew I was up against serious temptation. Since I couldn't record foods on MFP from my phone, I just googled everything and recorded in a memo, to make sure I didn't go over. I also Woke up at 7:15 each day to go for a 45 minute walk before breakfast. What a great way to motivate yourself to eat well while on vacation! And one day I did my T-Tapp DVD in the afternoon so I got in a little extra

Overall I am very happy with how the weekend went. I ate french fries twice, which isn't the best, but it was within my calories. I generally try to avoid them though. Also, I wasn't able to weight while I was gone, so I weighed on Thursday and...I weighed in at 223! Which is a 2.2 pound loss from last week! So I've lost 7 pounds so far, which I'm really happy with!

The main thing I'm thinking about right now is buying a HRM because I'm really not sure if I burn all the calories that MFP says I am...and I don't want to eat more exercise calories than I should.

Well, I'm gonna go off to the gym now! Have a great week!

sooo I'm siitting here at work extermely bored :yawn: .these are the times I wish I had a exercise machine so I could work my butt off in the back but I don't o well!! How is everyones week going?? Don't forget friday is weigh in!

Had a pretty good day today, I am somewhat frustrated tho. I have a bad habit of weighing myself every morning when I wake up. I have worked my *kitten* off the last 2 days and did not lose an ounce. I have a digital that weights lbs and ounces and did not lose a thing. But I on the positive my "incentive" shorts that are hanging in plain site came closer to fitting, so I don't know weather to be discouraged with the scale or excited with the shorts?

How often do you all weigh?

i will occaisionally will weight my self everyday but not to often bc u can get discourage also when u weigh urself do it the same time everytime..but thats what happened to me last week so this week i have been down in the dirt but not going crazy with food i just havent been motivated to work out...so i kjnow this week i know i prob wont be losing ne thing...but i can be hopeful!

I do flavored seltzer water a lot. I can do about 1/2 of the water as plain water. But yeah, if you're not used to it ~ getting the 8 in is hard.

i weigh myself everyday too but i only record about once a week (or when i lose and get really excited about it lol).

i used to HATE water.... then i started forcing myself to drink it. now i can't live without it! start out slow, maybe drink a glass or two a day and then keep upping it. or do what i did and chug um down, especially when you think you're hungry. it helps!

dont forget today is weigh-in!! so yet another week is down and still didnt lose ne thing not even an ounce..am i at a plaeatu?? its almost 3 weeks at the same weight..im not eating bad i eat healthy foods dinner is usually chicken or fish occaisonally steak but lean meat...VEGETABLES!!!!!! a small amount of a starch not huge like i use to breakfast i eat granola bar, lunch a sandwich...and at the end of the day im usually under my calories not by much but maybe 110 the most.. i exercise at least 3 times a week if not more..hmmm i guess we will see what next week brings me...

I am at ... 215!!!! So I lost one lb this week. YAY! I was hoping for a bigger loss I've worked out almost every day and got two HUGE calorie burn days, but maybe next week it will show. Yesterday the scale said 214, so I guess I had too much sugar and salt yesterday. I broke down and hunted down, I mean HUNTED down, went to three locations, to buy strawberry sweet and sour belts, like the ones from the movies, and ate a whole bag of pop chips. I felt guilty of course, so I walked on the treadmill for an hour. I have to figure out a way to deal with these crazy food habits. Blah.

SO I will focus on keeping my sodium intake below the goals, I go over everyday. I will also work on eating to stay full so that I don't go crazy hunting down sweets like I did yesterday!!

thinmint 23 - Maybe you should up your calorie intake? If it's too low the scale does not budge. Is your diet setting on two lbs a weeks or one? I moved mine to one lb a week and I feel like I see a constant move down.

corena - I totally know about cutting carbs. I've been doing low carb lately and the weight has slowly been coming off, but it's coming. Just watch out for the crazy cravings you'll get. Stay full on veggies and proteins. That's where I went wrong yesterday. Had a super light breakfast, no snack, and super super light lunch. You have to stay full on veggies and proteins in order to make it through the carb cravings. You can do it!!

Hey Ladies! Weigh in day! I was so afraid I wasn't going to lose any this week. But! I lost 7 ounces, so I'm down to 222.3!

You know this has been a really interesting week for me, so I'm not surprised that I only lost half of my goal (trying for 1 and a half per week). I am not upset though, any weight loss is appreciated It has been a good week of exercise, but I've been really bad about breakfast though, and I think that definitely influences my metabolism, as well as my overall emotions.

Anyway, ready for another week!

Hi all,
Weighed in this morning at 223.8 so lost 1.4lbs this week. Was hoping for 2 but I'm happy with what I got considering Aunt Flow just left town. I will be shooting for 2lbs again nxt week. I'm in for the 15lbs by Halloween, starting from now so 208 by Halloween or lower. I hope everyone has a good weekend and a great week!

hey everyone! my weekend was good. i went shopping for my trip this week- i am going to san diego from wednesday til monday- soooooo excited! i'm going to try to do my best to track my calories and be reasonable with eating while i'm there. i'm also gonna do a lot of walking on the beach! hopefully it will all balance out with any bad meals i have out there but if not, i'm not gonna sweat it. i've been looking forward to this vacation for months and i want to enjoy it without feeling too guilty :laugh:

my weight loss has kind of stalled from a combination of lack of exercise last week + a few bad meals, but i'm not gonna fret... once i'm back from vacation next monday, i'm going to kick my weight loss back into gear!

Hey! I had a great weekend! Pretty reasonable eating, and good exercise on Friday and Saturday. Saturday I did some running during my walk for the first time, and I felt more sore than usual so I decided I would take a rest on Sunday. Oh! And for a little over a week I experimented with lowering my calorie intake, to see if it would speed up weight loss or what have you...it definitely slowed down. Well I brought calorie intake back up to around my BMR, and my weight loss has seemed to speed up accordingly.

So that is awesome! Eat more and lose more weight? GREAT!

so I had a rough weekend..o well who doesnt ..saturday we went out to a sports pub with friends I had a huge cheeseburger and fries and man o man I paid for it later! I guess my body changed already and wasn't use to the grease and stuff..sunday I think is officially my bad day lol I had my nephews 11th bday pool party so I had 2 hot dogs with the buns and raw veggies and dip..and of course a sliver of cake..lol I hope everyones week goes well!

SW 215.2 (from beginning of thread)
CW 208.4 (last week 210.5)

I gave away 2.1 pounds this week (lost implies they are missing and i dont really want to find them again). Current Mini goal has been moved by 1 pound (8 weeks to halloween so goal is to give away 8 more pounds).

Hi guys...I did weigh yesterday, no loss for me...picked up 1.2 lbs in fact. Weighed in at 225. I'm not happy with it, but I'm just gonna keep plugging away...because I am happy with how I can't stop myself from going to the gym or walking or doing some kind of activity everyday. I feel really in tune with my body and feel like I'm on the right track, so no quitting here!! I will check in with you guys next week and have a great weekend!!!
