Lost 2lb this week, so I'm on track to my goal. I managed to try my 'something new', which I quite enjoyed, and a crisp has not passed my lips for a whole week.
For week two I plan to try Acai berry supplements, which I have been reading up on and think it is worth a punt.
I will be giving up drinking pop (soda)
how is everyone else doing, and what are your pledges for the week?
Whoooo! Congrats on being on track for your goal! I'm glad you tried your fish and that you liked it. I must also commend you on your will power to abstain from crisps even after accidentally buying some earlier in the week.0 -

Hi Everyone!!
So sorry I've not yet chimed in...but I've been on quite the adventure the last week. I moved from Wilmington, DE and landed in Okla City to a house I rented long distance. Once I got here (Friday - after three days on the road with two cats) I had a major melt down...as the house was a dump and filthy and the landlord not very helpful. So after moving my stuff in and trying to clean it for two days...I decided enough was enough and moved out today into a great place much closer to my grandkids! Unfortunately the first landlord is being a total jerk about this and is refusing to give me back the deposit. I could probably take him to small claims court and get it...but not sure I want the drama.
Whew...okay..now that I got that out...
I'm a 52 year old woman in process of taking charge of my health and life in a new and exciting way. I'm needing to refocus and this group is just the thing to help!!!
I did weigh last Monday, but today the scale is in one of the many packed boxes in my garage! Hopefully I'll find it in a day or two!!
So here are my numbers:
SW 203.5
CW to come this week
Mini Goal 1: to make Onederland by Holloween

Mini Goal 3: 190 by Christmas!0 -
Hey Everyone!!! Sorry for being MIA so far this week but I had no computer access. Weight Watchers has been going great..I have been to two meetings now, and the support is just fantastic. So far I'm down 2.4 lbs....yay me!!
This week I decided that I was going to aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity per day, and I'm giving up drinking pop for the week. Success so far.
Here are my numbers:
Week 1 - 200.0 lbs
Week 2 - 197.6 lbs0 -
Hi
This week i was supposed to give up my glass of wine but failed miserably so far but have run x3 so far and had a little nsv as had to try a pair of jeans on have been in skirts all summer and they almost fit were far far to tight!
good luck all0 -
Not been able to row for a couple of days as bad back and sciatica have flared up. I must say I think that by using MFP, it helps me get back on track so much faster on the exercise and food front. I am hopeful that I will be able to do a little later, not the 50mins that my schedule requires - I think that might be too much.
I am off to Cornwall for a week in mid October. It will be a pretty active holiday with dog and fit husband, but I find myself already worried about not getting a signal to log in my food! Mind you, having checked out scones and clotted cream I am surprised they are not quite as bad as I thought!
This week I plan to get back to exercise, continue making good food choices, make a different type of soup and post some stuff on this forum!
Good luck for the weigh in tomorrow everyone.

Hi Everyone!
I fell out of the loop for a while. This is of course the reason why I am fat. I just can't pull myself away from binging which then makes me depressed.....
Anyhow, I"m here. What are everyone's goals for the week? I think I have to use the KISS moto this week: Keep It Simple Stupid! and make my goal to check in here everyday and to RECORD what I eat no matter what.
Hopefully if i eat bad stuff and write it down then I'll have you guys getting on me!0 -
Hey all,
Week two completed and I managed another two pound loss.
You all seem to be doing well with your giving things up and trying new things.
This week I am giving up...chocolate and will try drinking a cup of green tea every day.0 -
Not a good week for me...I gained 0.4 pounds...so sad!!!

The old demon sneaked back this morning, before I knew it I was surrounded by the debris of a mini blow out! It is a little like waking up the next morning with a blood covered knife in your hand and a corpse at your feet wondering - how the hell did that happen!
I lost 1.5 lbs in the weigh in this morning, so should be elated, but just felt it was going to be one of those days when I got up. It seems that everyone has loads of stress at the moment, I have Parent worries and the emotion of todays visit to Nursing home was particularly bad and just pushed me over the edge.
I have thrown a whole bag of frozen casserole vegs, with a stock cube and two chicken thighs into a pot and will feast on soup for my supper tonight - need some serious water drinking too to flush out all the crap and chemicals. Believe it or not, if I get my *kitten* on the rowing machine for those lovely exercise calories - I could - no should come in under my days allowance!
I cant track exactly what I have eaten, as I genuinely cant remember everything - all happened a bit too fast!
Hope everyone has had a good weigh day, and to those who haven't - dont beat yourself up, just focus on one day at a time and we will all get there in the end

Forgot to say that I have made my diary visable to friends - cant believe it - but I have been quite good recently and I also think it adds another level of accountability.

Checking in here!! So far so good with me. I am logging my food. Got up super early Monday to walk 3 miles. Will hopefully get 3 more in this evening. Hope you're all having a good week so far!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Back on track here, thank goodness. 60 min row has left me with serious blisters on my hands and some really bad chaffing and bruises on my bum! Surprising enough I still feel really good. I have a couple of Clients shortly, so it will be interesting to see how I will cope with them.
Must admit I could do with a serious nap, but no chance as I need to hoover before anyone arrives.
Hope everyone is doing well and keeping that focus. Just think how slender we are all going to be a t Christmas.

Happy Wednesday everyone!!
I am being good about logging my food. And since I had fallen off the wagon a while back I was afraid to get on the scale. but I did and thank goodness I didn't GAIN. I'll take it!
Did 3 miles of walking this morning. I'm going to get my 40 miles of exercise in before the month is over!!!!0 -
Okay, confession time.
Yesterday I fell off the wagon, today I tried to get back on and stumbled. :blushing:
I have a calorie deficeit of 950 in order to loose weight, allowing me 1200 calories a day to eat.
So far today I am about 800Kcal over my 1200, so should not really put on any weight, but not lose any either. :sad:
If I get on the treadmill tonight and burn a minimum of 800kcal I should break even on my calories for today and get back on track.
I still however have to make up for the blowout on Monday :ohwell:
On the plus side I haven't eaten chocolate, and am sticking to the green tea.
Everyone seems to be doing well, and I'm determined not to let the side down. I can do this. Have to go now, serious calories to burn.0 -
With you on the falling off the wagon Mormas, also going to make up on the calories etc., but will take me till the end of the week to do this.
Fingers crossed for both of us

Hey all.
I've had three bad diet days this week....and I mean real bad!!!
I thought I would have a sneaky peek at the scales to prepare myself for a gain, and I've only gone and broken them. They are battery powered, and I've tried changing the batteries, but no joy, they will just not switch on :sad:
Shame on all of you who thought I had broken them due to my weight, I'm not expecting that big a gain!!!!
Anyhow, my dear husband is going to try and fix them before I buy a new pair, apparently 'it can't be anything serious!!!' but it's unlikely to be before tomorrows weigh in.
Maybe this is a blessing in disguise as it gives me another week to loose the pounds I think I may have gained. Good luck to everyone who's weighing in tomorrow, let us know your results.
This week I am going to aim to drink 80oz of water a day and give up my evening glass of red wine.0 -

***Last week I did pretty good with my goals, but didn't get to walk around the neighborhood too much..but did get some walking done.

hi all, I have had a disasterous week. with no scale to keep track of my progress, I went off the rails big style. I have new scales now and weighed in this morning...not good!
this week I'm going to do all my c25k sessions, and plan all my meals. I am giving up soda again this week. I still endeavour to lose as much weight as possible by the end of this challenge. take care all xx0 -
I had a bad week last week too and I'm not on track for my 15 lbs by christmas. Time to step it up. I am going to wake up early (before the kiddies get up) and work out at least 2 more time this week and once on the weekend. I'm giving up eating in front of the tv...this is going to be a hard one. Hope everyone else is doing well.0

Okay here are my stats so far...
12/09/11 (Start): 217lb
19/10/11 (WK 2): 215lb
26/10/11 (WK 3): 213lb
03/11/11 (WK 4): Didn’t weigh
10/11/11 (WK 5): 213lb
My aim was 2lb a week in order to loose two stone by christmas. I should have lost 8lb by now to be on target, but am only four down following a few bad weeks. I think I can reign it back though,
Having a good week so far and a sneaky peak at the scales shows good things. I have been drinking plenty of water this week, as last weeks disaster involved a lot of sodium, and I think I may have been retaining water.
Fingers crossed for a good loss for everyone this week.0 -

I think I can reign it back though, I have 10 weeks left, and 2lb a week will get me (near enough) to 1 and a half stone loss from the start. I'll be happy with that :happy:
