Ummm...Aren't we suppose to hold each other accountable daily on here? I've done cardio and a workout and burned 774 calories! Still under my goal calories mainly cause I only eat twice a day. How is everyone else doing today so far?

    Today is my rest day, so I've got to keep a strict watch on how much I eat. I'm trying to eat breakfast each day, so I did that today! Little victories! haha

    Hi, i am new to the group, I am starting again with my weight loss goals. 1 thing I know about myself is that i am a good starter but i lose steam and that's why I would like to be a part of this group. This is day 2 for me and I am stoked to be involved with others who are looking for accountability. I am getting ready to go for my walk and some gym time, ttly!:smile:

    I'll be going to the gym in a few hours to work out for an hour in the pool. So far this has been working for me. Now that cold weather is moving in I plan on adding some different exercises and lifting weights. I seriously need some muscle. The pool is great for cardio and getting back some flexibility. I'm averaging about a pound a week weight loss by going to the pool five days a week for an hour and tracking everything I eat. So far so good. What does everyone else do? I love mixing it up.

    Hi, I am new here. Have been doing WW but got too costly, so I am going forward on my own. I had lapband weight loss surgery 5 years ago, but have gained 10-12 pounds back. I am in the process of losing that, plus 10 more pounds to get to my goal. Exercise is hard for me to do. I have never exercised much and really don't like to exercise, so I have to be pushed to do it. I am starting to walk 3-4 days a week. I sure wish I had the motivation now that I did 6 years ago when I started the journey of preparing for my lapband surgery! Even though I have had the lapband, it is very hard to keep the weight off and stay motivated. It sure was not an easy fix, but a tool to get me this far. I lost 70 pounds within the first 18-months following surgery.

    I have a workout planned for tomorrow. Today I plan on doing some walking because my hamstrings are killing me from yesterday!

    Good job everyone! It's ok even if you had a rest day everyone needs it a few times a week... I just played two volleyball games and burned 263 calories.

    Hi all,

    Today is my day 1 trying to get back into healthy habits and weight loss. Started with a fitness assessment that included a 5k, 800m run/walk, plus some strength activities.

    My pitfall has always been falling off the wagon so definitely looking for some accountability here!

    I just joined this group today. Yesterday was a good day for me. I am just getting started with losing weight again. I started 09/16/13. I am doing well so far. I have gone to the gym everyday this week. I plan to tighten up on my eating more. I hope everyone has a good day today.

    I had a good workout at the pool. Trying to make a plan for tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll do some walking since the weather has been so nice and look for new soup recipes to try out this fall and winter. We had chicken and barley last night but I haven't decided what to have tonight yet. I hope everyone else is having a great day :happy:

    I have eaten well today although I haven't exercised for the day. I almost went back to my old habits because I was feeling weak and discouraged for a minute. I do realize that I need to do my exercises in the a.m. As the day wears on I am less inclined to do what i need to do! Glad to have people to share my struggles with, I can't wait to weigh myself on Sunday! I am in it for the long haul and I appreciate any and all help! have a great new way of life everyone!

    Today is my day off from the gym and running hopefully be able to control dinner tonight so I don't bust my calorie intake. But if I do its ok cause I'm under it most of the time anyways so a few times a month breaking it won't hurt me as long as its not a habbit.

    Did 5k training this morning, but way slower than I hoped. Gotta push forward!

    I've managed to stay at or under my daily calorie goal 4 out of 7 days this last week. I'm slowly improving... the week before I only managed 3 days.

    I got an extra 30 minutes in today at the pool. I'm always at or under my calorie goal. As long as I eat at home I'm pretty safe. Eating out is my downfall but I'm getting better.

    It's an old pic from before I gained weight :/
    I'm getting close to that weight again but I'm finding it harder to fit in workouts now that I'm back at school.

    Ah don't worry about it too much...Maybe try and workout right after classes are done for the day or maybe depending on how early your first class is maybe try getting to the gym before you classes start. I find that while I'm deployed and working night shift I just go and workout after work before I go to bed in the morning. I run first to wake me up a bit and then workout afterwards been working pretty good for me lately.
