    How to lose those pounds

    1.Reclaim power over your own life. Take an honest look at your current situation and own it. Acknowledge the choices you’ve made that haven’t served you and start making choices that do.

    2. Take before-and-after photos. That “before” picture will help you stay motivated throughout your weight-loss journey, and the “after” will be a thrill to take and share!

    3. Announce your plans. Tell your family and friends about your weight-loss goals. Sharing your goals and plan will enable you to recruit support and be held accountable. EH

    Thing I did to lose weight today: hurt my back pretty bad yesterday so no exercising today for me. But instead of ordering something out for dinner (since I really didn't feel like cooking) - I cooked anyway- paleo meatloaf with vegetable medley for a side.

    Congrats on everyone who loss weight this week.
    For those who seem to have a little set back or just can't seem to get motivated. Stop look back on how far you have come and imagine how great it will feel when you reach your goal. We all have those days when we are less motivated and feel like giving up. But thank God you did give in to self doubt and have stuck with it.
    Try changing things up like a different exercise or a new meal plan. Then seek out a buddy or friend that will help keep you on track and motivated. The holidays will soon be here and you want to feel great and look smoking hot.
    We can do this!

    You’re choosing healthy foods, you’re exercising, you’ve cut out your late-night cookie habit… But the number on the scale isn't budging. Sound familiar? This diet head-scratcher happens to the best of us. Weight loss is primarily a numbers game: calories in versus calories out. So choose nutritious foods, but count those calories!
    And remember, if you reward yourself with a treat equal in calories to the calories you burned, it's as if you never burned any calories at all.

    Also, your gym may promise that you’ll burn 500 calories with an hour of spinning, but every person is different -- you might burn just 300 calories. For the most accurate info, wear an activity monitor that tracks calorie burn.
    Even if you’re being super careful about your choices, it’s easy to forget about the little extras. These items aren’t off-limits, but they definitely "count," and the numbers add up. So keep track of everything you eat and sip... Ignorance is not bliss!

    What I did to lose today: 16,000 steps, I'm not sure what three hours of vigorous house cleaning burns but I can tell you I worked up a sweat! (MIL is staying for the weekend) and I'm way under my calorie goal.
    I'm also breastfeeding which burns between 200-500 calories a day!!

    New 12 week weight loss challenge

    28th September until 17th December 2015

    Age: 69
    Start weight: 168lbs
    Week 4 weight goal: 164lbs
    Week 8 weight goal: 160 lbs
    Week 12 weight goal: 156lbs
    Weigh in on Monday each week

    Start: 28/09: 168
    Week 1: 03/09: 167
    Week 2: 10/10: 167

    I am plateauing again. Weight loss is so unpredictable.

    The thing I did yesterday was to exceed my daily steps by 2732, that was an extra mile. Also stayed within my Basic calorie allowance.

    The things I did to lose today: I really didn't want to leave the house to go walking today because I had spent the day working very hard and hadn't sat down but somehow I mustered up the motivation and went anyway and when I had done my walk and got back to the entrance to my house I decided it wasn't long enough so I did the route a second time!!! Did those killer squats too

    Do not give yourself any outs

    There are a few classics, like “If I don’t exercise at lunchtime, I’ll do it tonight” or “I’ll have ice cream today and get my diet back on track tomorrow.” Any sort of procrastination and deviation runs the risk of bumping you off course. Don’t give yourself an out, and stick to the path that leads to your goal.

    Yesterday was pretty much the same for me aside from being under my calorie goal and exceeding my step goal by the steps it took me to walk around the house before bed I did nothing!! I'm normally up around 15,000 to 20,000 steps and do a workout in the evenings but yesterday I found excuses "MIL is staying so need to do x,y and z around the house... And its lightly misting now I can't go walking" I'm disappointed in myself I'm normally so good.

    Got to goal weight 4 years ago, maintained for 2 years but have been putting weight on slowly over the last 2 years which I need to stop now before I put back the whole 3.5 stone that I worked hard to lose. I run regularly and do pilates once a week.

    Got down to 61kg a little while ago, but the last 3kgs just seemed too hard to lose. Now, summer is coming in Oz & I'm ready to get back to 61kg - and beyond. Xmas might throw a spanner in the works, but I want to meet it in the best shape possible!

    Tomorrow is a brand new day, no point beating yourself up. What are you going to do tomorrow to help you reach your goal? I'm going to stick within my calorie goal, run a minimum of 4 miles and treat myself to something nice, ( non food related ) not sure what yet.
    Have a great day all.

    What I did to lose today: had a really really bad day today! Did no exercise at all and I ate a slice of cake!! Didn't reach my step goal for the day... I stayed within my calorie goal despite eating a slice of cake! It was my son and partners birthday today and I'm smothered with a cold so I don't feel overly down on myself but certainly tomorrow will be a better day!

    I was diagnosed in the last 3 months with hypothyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis. While neither is caused by my weight, the extra weight isn't helping at all so I really need to start losing now.

    All Newbies, great to have you joining in. We can use all the members we can get.

    Congratulations to all who lost this past week. I have some making up to do and I just need to take the time to plan my meals. Ok, have a great week.

    The thing I did today to help reach my goals, I drank more water.
