    GW: 218.6

    My Fitbit registered, for this week, 14 workouts for a total of 534 active minutes (nearly 9 hours!)

    So far so good. I was aiming for -1.5 a week, so this is a bonus. Be interesting to see what happens next week.

    Best day this week was yesterday, when I got out for a winter hike with my friend and his daughter. I chalked up 8 miles (in 2.75 hours) altogether for the activity.

    A lot of the other activity for the week was based around a few 1.5 - 2 hour walks with a friend who's trying to get back into shape after her baby arrived. Lesson takeaway: exercise goes by in a snap if you've got someone to talk to while you do it...

    Can't wait to see what next week brings!

    I also lost no weight this week. But I will appreciate the NSV (4 good workouts in the week, no cheating, stayed below my calorie intake, generally feeling better) and just work towards next week. Also, I am inspired to take some "before" pictures so weeks like this I can see some result.

    OK I was able to use the "good" scale at the Y yesterday after my workout so I'm calling this my "official" weighin for last week. Down 3! I've now dropped my first 20 pounds :bigsmile:

    SW when I joined MFP: 264
    CW: 244
    GW for the 90 days: 235
    FGW: 150 (*or* 160-170 if it's muscular/toned...I'll revisit this when I get a lot closer to goal...)

    I took the liberty of peeking at your food diary.

    First off the good: You are pretty consistent at staying under on total calories. You only had two days where you exceeded out of the 7 from Monday through yesterday. :flowerforyou:

    Now what I see as the bad: You skip quite a few meals. I think in the long run this will tempt you more to overeat when you are eating because you're starving. Out of the 7 days, you ate all 3 meals 4 out of the 7. Since you have your tracker set up to show the meals and a morning/afternoon/evening snack, I'm assuming your plan is to try and "graze" with 6 small meals rather than 3 big ones and a snack here and there. If that's the case, Wed. was the only day where you did eat 5 times. (4 times on Mon/Thur/Sat/.)

    I wasn't able to see your exercise diary so I have no idea what you did in terms of workouts. I also have a sedentary job (cubicle dweller) and I have been able to get in my 30 minutes daily just about every day of the week by doing 10 minutes in the office gym for my first break, 10 at lunch (I get 1/2 hour) and 10 on 2nd break. Sometimes I don't get in ALL thirty but most days I do. If you have an office gym, I encourage you to take advantage of it! :smile:

    Another good small change I've made that really does seem to have made a difference is: Whenever I can I take the stairs. I was getting winded climbing 4 flights of stairs in October. I no longer am.

    I also park farther away from the front door so I walk farther to get into the office.

    I'm happy I didn't gain this week. Its my TOM so I'm pretty sure that next weigh in I will show a loss.

    I didn't make my exercise or water goals last week. It was my fault as I was tired and kept telling myself that "I will do it tomorrow" and well tomorrow came and went with me not exercising or drinking enough water. It's a new week and I'm going to meet my goals no matter what!!!

    Second Week Goals:
    Exercise: Pilates 3x
    Water: 8 cups a day
    Food: eat less sugar
    Water is the pain in my neck too. You had a nice weight loss despite not being right on target. Keep it up!

    I woke up a bit lighter today! yay me...

    sw for challenge :178
    CW: 176.4
    GW for challenge: 166

    My actual goal is to get my body bad to 20% or less and then work from them. Everyone in this group helps keep me focused, and I THANK YOU ALL.

    for those that are working out and coming out under their daily calorie intake, keep in mind that not eating enough can be problematic just as eating too much is a problem.

    UNTIL THEN...KEEP WORKING HARD!

    Hello all. I joined the group late, so this is my first weigh in. Four lbs lighter. Refrained from sweets and tried eating better. Goal this week is to add exercise. Any tips on the best ways to fit working out in with an extremely busy schedule?


    If you can, park far from the entrance to your building. Take stairs instead of elevator. Stand at your desk when on the phone. Do leg lifts, crunches while sitting. Walk during lunch. Do an exercise video after work at home (on the tv). Hope this helps!

    Great job everyone!
    Forgot to post my week's goals!

    SW 178
    CW 174

    Very happy with my loss as I really stuck to consciously eating right and preparing foods that are good for me (and the family). Biggest thing I stopped: alcohol. Not even a glass of wine.

    This week: plan on continuing on eating healthy, portion control and stopping the non-thinking eating. Walking up to 2.5-3 miles a day, if my back doesn't give out on me!

    Challenge this week: going out to dinners twice this week. I know I'll have a glass of wine.
    How to overcome challenge: eat less during the day to enjoy dinner out. Go dancing one of those nights to burn it all off! :wink:

    Hello All,

    Here's my 1st week measurement :

    Following are my details :
    Start weight : 66.7Kg (147.048 lbs)
    Goal weight : 60 Kg (132 lbs)


    1st week weight : 66.4 Kg (146.3)

    Total Loss : Not even a pound.
    Exercise : I hardly exercised this week, Just regular housework and daily 20-30 minutes of walk. Having non-co-operative family sucks. My in-laws have been tempting me with fried snacks, high fat sweets. My ghee intake has increased substantially. Their theory is ghee/butter/oil is required for better functioning of body. If only I could exercise well to burn it off.

    Glad I did not gain but the scale also has not moved. I did have a few rough days where I know I just was eating too much. I will check my inches later to see if there is any progress there.
  • I am excited to see the progress everyone will make this week!

    Well, I only lost 0.6 pounds. So that's a bit disappointing. But it was a rough week. This week is going to be better. I have started biking to school and work, which is uphill part of the way, so that should get me in pretty good shape. I'm also hitting the gym 3 times a week. It's possible I'm going to start going more. I just have to get motivated to get up. I did go 5 days without sodas, until I made a rum and coke this weekend. This week, my goal is to go 6 days without soft drinks and possibly go without drinking. I only drink on the weekends, but I tend to drink high-calorie drinks. Good Luck everyone!
