If you don't see your name, it's because I didn't get your weight! You're NOT off the team, just weigh-in and I'll put you right back on. There are a lot of people I didn't get Week 1 weights for and a few who never sent in their start weight.

:flowerforyou:

Each week I'll highlight the people with the highest pounds and percentage lost for the week and overall. Great job guys!!

    Did we decide on a challenge for week 2 or did we decide to challenge ourselves? Either way, I'm game.

    I think we decided to make a fitness goal for ourselves to workout x times a week for x minutes, or something similar.

    I'm up for that challenge. My goal is to walk for 40 minutes all 7 days this week, and exercise as well. Looks like we're off to a good start, keep it up everyone!:smile:

    I"m trying to increase my exercise. I'm trying to walk 110 minutes a day. 25 minutes a lunch. 20 minutes with the dogs (they don't like it when it gets hot) and then 20-25 minutes myself after dinner up and down the hill we live on. Unforunately I gained back a lb this week. :cry: :sad:

    So i had to go to the dr today because what i thought was just normal stuffiness because of seasonal allergies turned out to be a sinus and ear infections.:sad:

    I won't be able to work out for a couple of days because my ears are killing me right now, not too mention the pressure in my head.

    On the positive side, i haven't been to the dr since i started loosing weight and they were shocked and very supportive. He said i am right on track with the amount i am loosing in the time frame, and i no longer have high blood pressure it is well within the normal range. He said when i get closer to my goal weight or in 6 months, he would like me to come back for an overall physical. Can't wait to show him i can do this.

    Doing better today - actually got my food logged and I have more calories left to eat. Weight stayed the same. My workout goal for the week is 5 out of 7 days - and to keep logging my food. I love hearing how much everyone is working out - it motivates me to get off my butt.

    Woohooo! Good job, Blues!!! Keep it up and to anyone who maintained/gained, get in gear this week! Thank you for your honesty, too. I know it can be hard to be honest with yourself! I didn't want to weigh in, thinking I had gained 3 pounds or something but it pays to own up to your actions and move on. Refer to the quote in my signature! :flowerforyou:

    OMG!! That's a big baby! I'm sure once he/she gets more mobile it'll come right off! :wink:

    Come to think of it, my 1 year old was just under 20lbs at 9 months, but at her 12 month check up she was just barely over. Her gain had slowed down a whole lot! I love the chubba bubba's!! Nice, healthy, chubby babies!! How come chubby thighs & rolls aren't cute once we become adults?? LOL! :laugh:

    She was born nearly 10 pounds so she's on target but I hope you're right about her leveling off!!! My back is killing me! :smile: She's crawling and oh-so-close to walking!!! I wouldn't trade her little chubby knees and cheeks for the world, though!

    Whoops - I don't know why I was thinking I was supposed to post my weight on Thursday, not Wednesday. I will post it tomorrow! As far as a fitness goal...my goal this week is to do horseback riding for 2 hours for 2 of the days, jog 3-4 miles 3 of the other days, and to try to complete week three of the hundred pushups challenge!

    What can I do to stop eating of a night, like 30 minutes or so before I go to bed? How can I conquer that?

    What can I do to stop eating of a night, like 30 minutes or so before I go to bed? How can I conquer that?

    1) Brush your teeth right after dinner or an hour before bedtime. I'm entirely too lazy to brush them again and thus I won't eat anything.

    2) Drink lots of water when you finish dinner. Sip on it until about an hour or two before bedtime.

    3) And this is the most important one, ask yourself precisely why you are wanting to eat. Are you hungry? If you are truly, honestly hungry you need to look at what you're filling up on. Do you need more protein throughout the day? If you are just wanting to eat to eat, keep yourself from getting bored. If it's sitting in front of the TV, get up and clean something up or go for a quick 10 minute walk before bed. Meditate. Relax. Take a bubble bath. Whatever suits your fancy...

    I appreciate the encouraging posts!

    I logged in thinking I would enter my intake for the day and then go to bed. However, now that I am reading the posts, I think a walk is in order as I have not exercised at all today.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences. You motivate me to do more to improve my health.

    This week has been a hard week for me. But I know it will get better next week for sure. My husband and I are going to celibrate our anniversary this weekend. I was very proud of myself lastnight however I had a strong craving and I was going to cabinet to get it and I said no and put everything away and drank some water instead. :drinker: WTG on the weight loss blue team
