Another pound gone!! 159 lbs this morning. So that's a total of 91 lbs off since I started dieting a few years ago. 10 gone since I joined MFP last month.
Everybody have a great weekend!!!0 -
Okay I weighed in today and it was not a happy day for me. I did however lose but it was not enough for me. I have been losing 3 to 4 pounds every 2 weeks and today it was only a 4 oz loss. I know it is still a loss but I can't help but feel really bad. I have vowed only rabbit food for me for the next two weeks. I had an omlett for breakfast and now for lunch it is penut butter and crackers and there will be no dinner. I don't want to fall backwards here.0

I weighed in today and there was no change, I'm not disapointed, really. I just need to do better on my workouts. NEXT WEEK MY GOAL IS TO GET MY WORKOUTS DONE EVERYDAY!!!!
Good Job everyone!!!! It looks like a pretty good week for most!:flowerforyou:0 -

I didn't weigh in this past week as i was on the road to Montreal to do an Olympic distance triathlon. I'm happy to say that I did it - it was painful- but worth it. The swim was 1500m and took me a little over 30 minutes, the bike was 40km and took about one hours and forty minutes, the run was 10km and took me about an hour and five minutes - for three hours and one minute total time. My goal was under three hours and fifteen minutes so I'm happy
I'll get on the scales next Friday once my body has returned to normal - feeling pretty stiff and sore today.
Well done to everyone else this week .. looks like we're on the right track.
One point to make: skipping meals is never a good idea (someone mentioned that previously). Your body goes into 'starvation' mode and no matter how well or little you eat, your body will grab and hold onto those calories making it impossible to lose weight. Stick to your daily calories and you'll likely have way more success - it might take longer but it will be healthier for you and it will stay off. I will now step down from the soapbox:blushing:0 -

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!! :drinker: Way to go! I've always wanted to try doing one, but I am just not a distance runner... I can handle the swimming and the biking, but the running is a different story... way to go!
And, I agree with your assessment on the skipping meals.. NOT a good thing to do...
Good luck this week!0 -

For the new ones - we just finished our first month last week, and this friday are starting a new month, beginning Friday.
Every Friday morning we post our weight (and measurement - if you want) changes for the past week.
It's pretty motivating - and glad to have everyone on board for round 2!!!0 -
I'm in....but didn't weigh myself at the gym this morning....I'll do that first thing in the morning and post then, from then on...it'll be on Fridays with the rest of you:drinker:

Me too. I thought the competition would give me the kick i needed. I have made bad food choices since last week. I was mostly good, but then blow it at dinner. I have exercised, but not like i should. I'm trying to work on that more.
Anyway...here goes...
Starting weight: 219
Current weight: 2180 -
okay people here is some friendly motivation :happy: always when you are looking at food and really wanting it, think to yourself "who am i cheating?" "it is me thats who!!!"(meaning yourself) that is what i do then I turn around get some water and put LOTS of distance between me and the bad food choice. It does not always work but most of the time it does. Just look at yourself and say I want better!!!!! you can do it!!!!!!0
-
OKAY SO A NEW GOAL FOR NEXT WEEK(if you want to) Since it is the last week of our competition. I SAY we should rub in all the excersise that we are doing!!!
WHY you ask????
1: It will force slackers like me to actually excersise
2: It will give eachother new ideas
3: It will let you see what other people are doing and maybe give you the kick in the pants you need to get out there yourself (aimed also at myself:laugh: )
So this week
Saturday go for a walk with my kids-1 mile and clentching my buns for extra muscle tone:blushing:
Sunday i'm going to do an activity with my whole family
Monday go to the park and play with my kids
Tuesday 30 min workout video and 50 situps
Wed go for a walk with my kids
Thursday 30 min work out video and 50 situps
Friday NOTHING:bigsmile:
So when all of you guys check back in feel free to add what you're going to do this week
so that I can steal some of your amazing ideas 0 -
