  • Back from a four day holiday and what can I say...eating healthily abroad in a group of 14 students is difficult, especially when on a tight budget.

    So, DAMAGE LIMITATION starts Tuesday! I will try to get myself down to the gym, healthy eating is definitely back on the agenda and hoping to maintain this week.

    We did A LOT of walking these past four days with sightseeing and whatnot, so I hope this has helped somewhat. Also it showed me that my fitness levels are better than I thought, which has motivated me to move more, no more excuses!

    Also, well done to everyone for those incredible losses!! Hope to see more like it!

    Thought I might share my journey a little ... with pictures ... this makes it more real ...

    This was my 27th wedding anniversary. June 20, 2008 ... I weighed 230 lbs.
    226553_6529.jpg

    Joined MFP in June of 2009 at about 208.5 lbs and the yo yo went down to ... This ... September 29, 2009 ... I weighed 180 lbs.

    226553_7100.jpg

    Then this past year I let other things take over and I yo yo'ed back up to about 206 lbs ... then I got back on track and then ... This was today ... January 24, 2011 ... I weighed 198 lbs this morning. I'm heading down in weight again.
    226553_2893.jpg

    It's good to be back to living a healthy lifestyle ... here's hoping there will be more and more lighter and healthier looking pictures in my future. Just want to thank you all for your support. All through my yo yo'ing my MFP family has always been there.

    How's everyone been going?
    I'm hoping for at least a 1 pound loss this week, and then i'll be happy. Been pretty good with the exercising (just started 30 day shred) But not too well with resisting the cookies...
    Anyways wishing you all the best!

    I had a bad weekend and I made some poor food and drink choices but Monday was the start of a new week and I hit the gym even though I DID NOT want to! My boyfriend kind of encouraged me in a good way ("think about how good you will feel after! you're always so happy after!") so I ended up doing some dvd's in my living room while he went to the gym.. I think it was a good compromise! I think today (Tuesday) i've forgiven myself for the weekend! Best of luck to everyone.. just a few days left til the weigh in! I hope everyone stays after it! It'll all be worth it IN THE END!!

    Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well today. I'm off of work on another sick day ... what a waste of my time. They don't want my germy self near them. Oh well. As for me ... my lower abdomen is a bit sore from all the sneezing I've been doing ... I may have to count it on my exercise diary. How many carories do you burn sneezing? Things that make you go hmmmm.

    I'd be happy if I get a pound off myself this week. It was Australia Day yesterday and we pigged out. I laid off the beer but still had champagne.. sigh.

    and it's weigh in for me tomorrow!! One last go at the gym before tomorrow!

    I feel you there, I've been stuck in bed the last 2 days myself with strep. Not much sneezing there so you're atleast getting more exercise than me :laugh: But i can only manage to eat liquids so maybe that'll help me process foods quicker lol!

    DIana, add everyone as your friend, its a great support system. Then on Fridays personal message Kerri with your weight and she'll add it to the spreadsheet :smile:
  • Finally broke through 2.5 weeks of the same 1lb up and down! 187.6lbs!!
    Exactly 40lbs gone!

    I'm weighing in this fine morning at 146.7 :D so i've lost a total of 1.8 pounds this week. Which i'm happy about, especially because last week i lost nothing! So i'm glad that i pushed through despite such a stressful week.
    I'm going to step it up for the next weigh in, and i'm hoping i'll keep losing and keep up with my mini goal weights for each week.

    Week 1 (1/7) - (current weight)- 154.3
    Week 2 (1/14) - Goal- 152.1/ 148.8!!!
    Week 3 (1/21) - goal- 149.9/ 148.8
    Week 4 (1/28) - goal- 147.7 Current 146.7 (66.7kgs)
    Week 5 (2/4) - goal-145.5
    Week 6 (2/11) - goal-143.3
    Week 7 (2/18) - goal-141.1
    Week 8 (2/25) - goal-138.9
    Week 9 (3/4) - goal-136.7
    Week 10 (3/11 )- goal-134.5
    Week 11 (3/18) - goal-133.5
    Week 12 and the END (3/25) 132 (60kgs)
    Oh and i just wanted to say, that i have not had the best week at all. For the past 3 days i've been getting back from work at about 8pm and i've been so exhausted. I've worked out a lot less and given into a bit of temptation. Yesterday i was 400 calories over. But, you have just got to keep going, and remember ONE day will no ruin a week of effort.
    Wishing you all the best for this week 4 weigh in!
    Can't believe next time we weigh in it'll be week 5!

  • Hey guys,

    1lb off for me! I'm so pleased, I can't believe that I ate so badly for FOUR DAYS and yet still lost! It's probably due to the fact that I didn't give up and all the walking I did! I don't think I'll make it to my goal, though I knew from the start that it was a long shot.

    Good luck to everyone else! I'm sure we will do fine!

    I'm back on track! I was out of the country during my weight gain. But I lost that and more! I'm so excited. I forgot how it felt to have such a great loss after being really strict with diet and exercise. (I have been cheating here and there - haven't been 100% into the goal until this week). Hard work does pay off. 5.5 pounds down from last week and 3 down from my first weigh-in!
  • 189.2lbs

    I switched scales so this is 1.6lbs heavier than my old scale, which weighed me at 187.6lbs. But I want to use the higher weight.
  • hmmm... not much of a weight loss for me. But I lost 2.2 lbs last week, so I guess it's to be expected!
