I will finally be able to weigh in next week. On Tuesday it will be a whole month that I haven't been on the scale. I hope it says something good. I lost 4 inches in my waist this month thanks to Zumba. Thats the only exercise I did this month and it did my body good.

I am so ready today. I love seeing signs of spring on the way. New beginnings and time to get ride of those coats so it is time to step it up for me. I need to get some more weight off so I can wear summer clothes hanging in my closet for 2 years now. Yes I am losing weight to get healthy but I am also losing weight to feel good about myself and to LOOK :smooched: better also. And I will do it, one day at a time.
My March plan is: To focus on eating healthy and under my calories most days of the month. I am taking a page from WW with their bonus points system. On weekends I will give myself an extra 1000 starting Saturday to be divided however I want to eat them between Sat and Sun.
This will not include exercise either. If I exercise this is additional food I can eat and probably will.
This should work well. This will give me wiggle room without going overboard and not feeling deprived for special occasions or events over the weekend. My goal on weekends is to maintain. Eating 500 to 1000 extra calories over the weekend for me will not be a gain with or without exercise.
I will lose more than one pound in March as I get one year older this month. Have a good week everyone and let's do our best to stick to our plans and goals whatever they may be!:flowerforyou: TTYL!0 -
Hoping to lose 40lbs by the summer....am doing a diet from diets2go as well as working out 7 days a week! Anyone got any tips?0

I could not read all the post but will try to catch up later on this weekend for sure.
I gained 2 pounds this week.
SW 364
CW 354
10 pounds lost! 40 pounds to go!
I know why I gained and I am good with it as long as I know why. It has been a roller coaster ride for me this week, but the plan is to get back on the track. I started getting back on track Thursday and today going to stock up on veggies snacks and pre bag for next week. By next Saturday I plan on being down, down, down. I am going cold turkey on FAST FOODS this month. So far that is going well. I even went to Micky D's last night and got my 2 side salads and nothing else. Came home threw some grilled chicken on it and it was a great dinner. If I can make it through the weekend with my new plan I am good M thru F.
Congrats to losers!!:flowerforyou: Whooohoooo!!!! :bigsmile:
Good job maintainers!! You did something right!:bigsmile:
If you gained like me, that is OK 2. Just work harder this week and the key is not to give up! You can do it!!:drinker: Consistency not perfection! If we were perfect we would not be here. Next week I am going to be in the loser column. I am tired of gaining. I think this is week 3 for me. I have to make up for lost ground this month. It is early so I have to get with it. You can too! Let's do it. Got to run, off to gym to get a killer workout in!
Have a good weekend everyone!:bigsmile:0 -

Not sure on this. We have not seen a chart in over a month. I was wondering the same thing myself. Everyone is sort of MIA. Anyhoos, I just figured I would keep checking in anyways since I committed to the challenge. It is important to me to finish what I start.0 -

Hey Everyone- Checking in with maintaining this week to last.
I also went back through the last 5 pages or so and created a spreadsheet of who I think is still at least attempting this. If you are still logging in and checking in and I just missed you please let me know and I will add you- also I did my best to put your weekly information, but I had a hard time going back so for some of you it might just be the same weight for multiple weeks in a row. I shouldn't have a problem with keeping this updated and you can use the link I am providing below to take a look. I figured we should at least have something!
Keep up the great work!!

Daily Inspiration for March 5, 2011

Identify and avoid your trigger foods.
Do you tell yourself one bite won't hurt? Sometimes one bite is just fine, but sometimes it isn't. You are the only person who can make that determination. The key is to find the balance between deprivation and indulgence. If you take a bite or two, walk away, and don't think about the food again for days, you're probably okay.
If, however, you have a bite and spend all of your free time thinking about the next bite, it's probably a trigger food that you should consider avoiding. If you don't avoid the trigger foods, one bite leads to another and another. Is it worth it? The new you says, "No, I want to live a full, healthy life. I will not go back to the old pain and suffering. I have a choice today."
Action for the day: List your trigger foods in your journal. Be brutally honest. Try to avoid your trigger foods just for today.0 -
Daily Inspiration for March 6, 2011
Katie Jay, MSW
Feel your fear and do it anyway.
Sometimes your perception of how a situation will unfold keeps you from attempting the activity. You imagine how uncomfortable it's going to be and you don't want to take the risk. Yet, sometimes you just need to take a deep breath and accept the invitation to try. Most of the time it's not as bad as you think. You may find you actually have a good time, make a few new friends, and learn some new things. Accepting the challenge enables you to rise to the occasion and profit from the experience.
Even when the situation does not work out, you have learned something, and you have established a new pattern of risk taking. The new you will not let fear be the only reason for not taking a risk. You are becoming more capable every day, and you are living your life accordingly.
Action for the day: Think about what holds you back from fully participating in life. Give yourself permission to take the risk to be a part of something exciting today.0 -
