SW 242
Wk 1 237.5
DWN 4.5 LBS

Long ways to go but getting there by BABY STEPS.... ONE DAY AT A TIME
:smooched: :flowerforyou:
You did awesome!! That is excellent, and you are right about Baby Steps. Take it one day at a time, or even one minute at a time. Whatever works at that moment. Great job on the water!!0 -
starting: 240
week 1: 236.4
Loss = 3.6lbs!
I think my loss this week is more due to REALLY poor choices the past few weeks more than getting back on track this week. I certainly wasn't perfect and hope to improve for this coming week.
I am sure you will improve, but that is still an excellent loss. I have heard that sometimes your body needs a little shock. I am not sure how long you have been eating more healthy, so not sure if that is a factor. Just keep it up, and the weight will come off steadily.0 -
Starting weigt: 237
Today: 235.5
Total loss: 1.5
I have really tried to focus on drinking lots of water this week. I need to incorporate more exercise each day, but I will get there! Everyone's great losses this week has really motivated me!
Losses are motivating, as well as seeing accomplishments. Like the ones on this week's challenge thread - it's amazing and making me realize where I need to set my goals.
You did really good this week - great job. Keep up the water - it's so important!0 -
Hi all!
SW: 221lb
CW: 215lb
Loss= 6lb
Woohoo!! I'm so pleased
This week has been fairly easy, the only things I've found challenging is my fluid intake and I have gradually improved that over the week and my exercise bit again I have made changes to that already.
Today has been my first really hard day. I am amoungst other reasons and emotional eater and today has been a very hard day
I worked one of my long shifts yesterday/today which was 8am-3pm then a sleep-in night where I work 8pm-10:30pm then sleep at work on call and then started work again at 6:30am-2:30pm. When I woke up at work this morning I felt like I has the start of a head cold so I took some paracetamol and plodded on. By 8am I was feeling sick but again I just got on with it (I'm the deputy manager so it's not like I can just go off shift) at 9am my Mum called me to say my man had had a fall from bed during thenight (this is the crux of the story near with me and I'll get there!!) then after that one of the families called to let me know that their Mum's husband has died overnight on another home. I spent some time with this lady comforting her but it's so hard to comfort someone through a loss, it's quite draining. Then another one of out ladies had a fall so overall my work morning was very stressful!!
The sicky feeling stayed all day too.
Then I Left work to go visit my nan. She has Chronic Leukaemia which was diagnosed recently. She will not have any investigation or treatment so although we know she has cancer which is so extensive it has developed into Leukaemia we don't know where or what exactly the cancer is. Today was a bad day. She's declined so rapidly it's heartbreaking to watch. My man brought me up for many many years as a child and I really admire and look up to her. My Mum, Step-Dad, Brother and Sister live with her but they may as well not be there for all the attention they give her! I was the one to call the Dr today to discuss her condition, I was the one attending her hosp apt, I was the one calling the district Nutses today to ask for a hosp style bed. Etc etc. it's so frustrating and tiring trying to keep a tight lip so to not cause any family arguments but the friction is there already :-/
I left there at 5 and got home with 2 very hungry boys closely followed by a hungry husband with no tea prepared. My plan of a homemade Chilli and JP went out the window as I caves and ordered a Pizza Hut. As I ate it I felt so guilty but the idea of cooking was so unappealing!! My plan was to try and do 30 day shred twice this evening.......I ended up fast asleep on the sofa within 5 mins of the boys being in bed!!!!
I'm really sorry for the essay but sometimes it's easier if people see the whole story rather than just see that food & exercise wise it's been a crappy day.
I'm back to it tomorrow, hoping for another good weight loss.
Good Luck Everyone and WELL DONE!!
Love Kath xxxx
I am so sorry for all you are going through. My mother went through a long year of stomach cancer, as she chose to have surgery and chemo. It was very hard to watch her deteriorate. I also had a lot of responsibility. She managed to get cancer-free last June, but she couldn't quite adjust to the new eating plan (it's very odd, but you can eat without a stomach). She had a heart attack this past October just after my birthday, and we lost her 11/2. It was very stressful, and I ended up gaining almost 50 pounds over that year.
I am so proud of you for sticking with your health plan. That is so hard, but your health is essential right now. Take care, and we are here to support you. :flowerforyou:0 -
SW: 236
Today: 233.4

Finally got back into excercising the last couple of days. I have really struggled to get back into healthy eating and working out since Xmas.
This group has definitely helped me focus more!
Nice loss!!! I am just back into exercising too, so some of the accomplishments on our team amaze me. i am not nearly that fit, but it gives me some great goals. And it shows what commitment can accomplish and that helps me!0 -
Starting Weight: 230.5
Current Weight: 227.5
-3 lbs......really happy with this since I fell off the wagon really bad all weekend!!! :sad: Now, I just think how much better I could have done if I would have stayed ON the wagon!!! :blushing: Something to work for this coming weekend. Weekends are my most difficult time. I did really good with my water intake and my excersing (except for Sat & Sun).
GOOOOO GREEN TEAM!!!!! :bigsmile:
Very nice job! I know how it is to second guess, but at least you are focusing ahead on how to improve it rather than living in the past regretting it.

So I count the 241
I even ate out some this week and found you can eat out and still loose.. I try to make healthier choices and I am up off the sofa moving now.. I would go out and eat at least 2000 or more calories and not even know it or care after i started this less then 20 days ago I have lost 10 lbs.. that is unreal to me, how bad I was eating... I was just dragging and feeling really bad I know feel human again and ever week is better.. I know the weight loss will slow but I am just going to stick to it.0 -
