"H20" 12 Pounds of Christmas Challenge - Week 2

I havent been on much lately and just saw Bru's post. Im sorry about your lose and sending prayers your way.

Ive been having problems with everything in life it seems to stay on track. But I guess I had a big wake up call after this weekend when my friend posted pics of me. I had planned to start monday but my daughter has been so sick it hasnt been possible to start. My new plan is that today is a new day and she seems to be much better today so tonight I will, no matter what get my workout in. I also planned most of my meal for today and have stuck to most of it with a little moving around lunch though. So Im hoping for a lose this week.

Have a good day everyone.

That is a good idea - don't wait until "monday" or "tomorrow". Start right now. You can do this hun!

I'm down 2.8 lbs over the past two days! I so needed that! lol

The Couch to 5K program is a huge help and I've also started weight training this week (from home). The Sweetie found some of his old dumbbells and is letting me use them. Yay! I'm glad about that since I don't have a gym membership.

I've been super tired the past couple of days and am not sure what the reasons are. I feel like I just want to sleep and sleep. It's very odd for me. I just have no energy. I hope I'm getting enough calories. I really DON'T want to start eating more as the scale is FINALLY moving again.

@ kattungen - Thank you, hun! Weighing in on Fridays does sound like a good idea. I'm thinking about maybe doing that too. Or at least weighing myself only one day a week and stop getting on the scale every day. I don't know if I CAN only weigh myself once a week - and that kind of scares me. I shouldn't feel like I have to get on the scale every day. Oh well, it's something I'm going to have to give some serious thought to.

Anyway, it sounds like most of you are doing good - I'm very glad about that! Stay strong, guys! *hugs*

Congratulations honey! I'm so proud of you! 2.8 lbs is REALLY good!!

I've sort of settled for checking the scale whenever I feel like it, but only the Friday-weigh ins count, so they're the ones that get recorded

Today is my weigh-in... Its usually on Sunday but I've got a lot going on this weekend and don't want to miss it.

SW: 186
W1: 183.8
CW: 182

Lost 1.8 pounds this week! And an inch in my waist and an inch in my hips! I'm super happy with that!!

So, I weigh in on Fridays too, is it ok that I post it today or should I wait and post it tomorrow? I weigh in at WW so I like to use that number...although this week it isn't the case :laugh:

So, I did really good this past week until I left on Tuesday to go visit my sister. I did make some changes this trip, I knew it was going to be hard to stay on track so I stayed on track every day until I left and most of the day that I left, which is new for me, I would normally blow the whole week. It's a 4 hour drive and 2 hours in we stopped to go the bathroom and I bought chips and my daughter those mini oreos (sp). Of course they put too many in the bag and I didn't want my 3 year old to eat the whole bag, so I dumped more then half the bag in my bag of sun chips (rather then in the trash) and ate them. I had told my sister when we made plans that I wanted to buy food while I was there, take a walk and only eat 1 meal out. I guess she didn't have the guts to tell me she had a different plan. If I would have known she wanted to eat every meal out and not take a walk I could have shown up prepared mentally, but as you can tell from my cookie/chip story, I wasn't mentally prepared to do the right thing. That being said, here is my weigh in:

SW 190.2
CW 190.4
Gain .2

Not bad of a gain, but I had lost 4 lbs last week so I actually gained 4.2 this week :grumble: I didn't drink much water (didn't want to stop 10 times to pee on the way there or back and didn't want to wake my sister up 3 times peeing at night so i didn't drink much the whole trip) so I'm sure some of it will come off rather quickly. I'm back on track today and will see that fall off and I'm done dropping the same 5 lbs to just gain it back the next week. This is going to be tough to stick to, since with a loss next week means I need a loss the day after turkey day and two days after my birthday, but I will make it happen. I lost the day after thanksgiving last year, and I will again this year.

I'm trying to find the time to be more active in this group, I don't want to be one of those people who just pop in and talk about themselves, so that's a goal for this week for me. My only problem is that my lap top battery only lasts an hour before it dies so I need to come here first, catch up and become an actual member of this group, not just weight in!

I hope everyone is doing well!!!

i weighed in today as the same 133 oh well better luck next week i can't wait to see the next challenge. Good job everyone.

SW 193
CW 194

During the week I was down to 190 but I think my kids being sick and me not eating is why I lost the weight and then actually be able to eat caused me to gain. Hoping for a better week this week. Im going to attempt the workout insanity. I must be insane lol. But I figure I can just do what I can and go from there.

Just FYI to those still posting in here, we've moved on to Week 3...http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/134238--h20-12-pounds-of-christmas-challenge-week-3
