    I think the new challenge is making mindful food choices to curb emotional or boredom eating...am i right ziesergirl? So instead of just grabbing some food, we ask "Why am I eating this? Is it a good choice?"
    Maybe I'm making this up but that's what I remember and I'm too lazy to go find the other thread and reread :ohwell:

    SW 180
    Wk 1 179
    CW 178.5
    Xmas 170

    Not where I thought I would be but know what I have to do to keep going. Still trying to get in the water and will admit the pushup challenge was not for me. Next week's challenge is forefront on my mind. I had a difficult day today but refrained from eating anything that would separate me from my goal.

    I would love to be able to lose 4 - 5 pounds in a week! I get so frustrated trying to fnd time to work out because I am a single mom and work full time. It is usually 9:00 before I finally take a break from the day. I rely so much on just watching my calories that it is taking me so so long to lose weight. I was thinking about getting a treadmill for the house or maybe a workout video. Any suggestions? I don't mind a treadmill but I like aerobic type workouts. Which would burn more calories?

    we all want to lose this weight, but doing so healthy is important. The more weight you have to lose, the more weight you will lose initially. I typically lose anywhere from 4-9 in the first week, and it is mostly water. then it tapers off to a pound or two..IF I continue to do well. YES, keeping track of what you eat can be very time consuming. I tend to weigh everything with a scale, so that takes time as well. The only thing I can suggest is to plan and prepare your meals as much ahead of time as possible. I sometimes will cook a lot of food on Sunday or any day, and then freeze portion sizes. It is so much easier that way. Another thing I *try* to do is plan my meals the day ahead of time. then if something is different, I can change it that day, but hopefully have most of it correct. It's almost an addiction with this place!

    I have a treadmill and use it part of the time. One thing that will increase your calorie burn if you're walking is do walking and jogging intervals. *wogging*. just go at your own pace...eventually you will see improvements! I have a lot of dvd's....the Biggest Loser Cardio Max, Biggest Loser Strength and Sculpt, Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I think these are all around $10 each. I also have Billy Blanks TaeBo tapes...haven't done them for a few years. Jump roping gets the heart rate up fast and even just sitting doing boxing. You'd be surprised what you can do in your own home without having to purchase anything.
