Christmas ONEderland (CLOSED)

Weighing in today. 1/2 pound loss since last week. Will work on better numbers for next week.

I learned this week how much salty foods effect me - I ate out once and OUCH!

I also learned how much emotions play in my eating even when you don't think they would. My 15 year old daughter lost a friend last weekend. He was walking across the street and was hit and killed by a drunk driver. He was 16 years old and a great kid. But I did turn to food to console and comfort and it was a little but I think when you have nervous energy, you want to keep busy and keeping your hands busy can mean putting something in your mouth.

The best thing to do is to learn from situations and improve - right?? Still on that train to ONEderland and looking forward to a great weigh-in next week!!!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about this! I have no idea what his parents (and everyone close to him) must be going through.

Hello everyone! I am feeling very discouraged. I haven't been able to work out like I want to due to knee pain and I've gained weight. I weighed in this morning at 253lbs. I feel like I have to burn over 600 cals a day to loose weight, which is how I was seeing results. I just don't know what I'm going to do, I was planning on purchasing a Gazelle workout thingy....ya know the Tony Little thing? And I was also going to get a calorie monitor. It monitors heart rate, calorie burn and a few other things and I hope it will help. So for now I am going to try my best not to go over on calories while I wait for the 21st to get here so I can order my Gazelle and get my calorie monitor. Hopefully walk three times a week with Leslie Sansone.

I used to have the Gazelle... I got bored with it, but I did use it for a LONG time! It is definitely a "different" workout. Now I am all about DVDs, but ask me next month and I may be using something else.

I don't workout often anymore... I did in the beginning, but since then I have been super busy... I have a 2 year old AND I babysit another 2 year old over 40 hours per week. I get plenty of activity in with them!

Which Leslie Sansone do you do and how do you log it in the exercise thing? I do the 2-mile brisk walk sometimes (which takes about 30 minutes I think) and I log it as a 4mph walk for 30 minutes (because that'd be 2 miles in 30 minutes)... I wonder how accurate that is.

I have a heart rate monitor (Polar FT1) but it doesn't tell the calories burned. I'm going to go get one that tells the calories burned soon!
