    This week started out with a bang and I was in the gym every morning before work and eating under my calories each day. Then I got hit with some bad news and responded with some emotional eating; however recognized it early on and changed by behavior.

    This week's plan is to:

    1. Drink all my water
    2. Pack lunch everyday (i'm not at a place where I can "wing it")
    3. Gym everymorning (Tues - Fri) and possibly a dance class on Saturday
    4. Check out the black team challenge and incorporate it into my day.
    First of all, sorry you had bad news. I for one, know about emotional eating. It is sooo hard, because food is the first thing we turn to. I am happy you have your plan all set out for the week! You lost a pound, and you must give yourself a pat in the back for that!!! EVERY POUND COUNTS!! CONGRATS!

    Thanks for the support! It's greatly appreciated. I'm glad I joined this group - it is supportive and keeps me on track and accountable. Go Black Team!!!

    1 pound loss

    I didn't lose this much that week and honestly i don't feel like I lost a thing I think that my scale is just trying to be nice to me haha I don't know what I did wrong this week I drank my 8 cups of water a day faithfully, I didn't eat back my exercise calories either well maybe once, but that shouldn't have messed me up. I did mess up horribly on the weekend- i mean I didn't hold back because my sister came to visit and we love to cook and eat, but some of it was healthy. I also worked out 5 days of the week and most of the time it was for an hour at a time plus I didn't some strength training. So I don't know what I am doing wrong. I guess that it would have to be the weekend...
    1lb is great! You are in the right path! Do not get discouraged, just keep up the great work. I see how motivated you are, lets focus on next week! BTW I am loving that everone is drinking their water

    This week I ate just about anything I wanted, but in moderation. I definitely, limit my carbs but if I want bread I will have a piece. (instead of 2 or 3 servings) I drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. My problem area is my physical activity... or lack thereof....I have bad knees and even though the discomfort is so much better now that I've lost 100lbs, I still am hesitant about exercise because of my former knee problems.
    WTG!!! You are absolutely right, everything in moderation! Regarding your physical activity, how about slow walks? Keep up the great work and congrats again on losing over 100lbs!!!

    I'm not sure if this is an option for you, but I know when my knees get sore I move my workout to the pool. It takes the pressure off the joints. Even if you just walk laps it helps. Also if you feel like your knees are truly the barrier to increasing physical activity you might want to talk it over with your doctor - they may be able to help you get physical therapy - or get a couple sessions with a personal trainer to help you develop a work out routine that is sensitive to your knees.

    Good Luck and congrats on your continues weight loss :)

    I did not exercise this week, I did keep track of the food. I need to up my water intake also.

    The week I prior I was on vacation and did really well at home, back at work with all the lovely stressors has thrown me for a funk. Got to get myself a routine down to get my exercise in.

    I lost 2 lbs and that is on track with my weight loss plan, I consider last week a success !
    YES! Exactly, this week was a success for you! You are following your food plan and tracking it, that is great. I am sure you will get an exercise routine this week and keep up the great work!

    This week started out badly as the first week back to work after our christmas break but we still had bad things (chocolate etc) around the house and office. I got back on track but to late to make a difference on the scales. I am determined to make difference next week and motivated by this challenge - I am going to put myself first from now on!

    a pound is better than nothing, staying the same is better than a gain, a gain is not the end of the world:happy:
    Very true "a gain is not the end of the world". You are right, it is very hard to eat healthy when you have goodies around. Sounds like you are in the right path, to putting yourself first! Have an amazing week!!!

    I'm fortunate enough to have my personal trainer right next door and put in 3-4 intense workouts a week. Unfortunately my meal choices hinder my progress. I enjoy food way too much, especially my MIL mexican cooking. Making healthy choices and meal planning are two goals I want to work for. I'm going to try harder this following week.

    Good luck to all on WEEK 2!

    -2.8 pounds

    First let me start off saying from the posts so far everyone is doing AMAZING!! A lot of high numbers in there! I didn't lose as much but it's my TOM so I didn't even expect to lose this much! So I am only .6 of a pound away from being at where I was before Christmas, so I'm happy about that!

    In all honesty I didn't do everything I could to lose weight this week. I told you all last week about my issue with not having enough bottled water to last the week if I drink what I should, I normally drink 2-3 20 oz bottles of water a day, so I'm short on the 64 oz, and way short on half my weight in oz! But I need to figure something out with water, cuz it seems that has helped a lot of people this last week! Great job everyone! And also because of my monthly, I was a bit lazy in my workouts, and have been craving chocolate everyday :/ But with that time of month passing in a couple days, I am optimistic that this week will be much better in terms of exercise and not craving sweets.

    So this week, I WILL log ALL my food AND exercise, and get as much as water as I can in!
    Congrats on your loss! I love that everyone already has a plan for Week 2! That shows how much optimism there is in our team! About craving sweets and chocolates, I totally understand that one! LOL One of our teammates gave us a great idea that she does. She has Hershey Kisses in the fridge and she grabs I think 1 or 2 a night. Honestly that is not bad, I have to check out the sugar and calories in that. But they are so small, I can't see it being an issue. About the water, yes try to have your 64 oz. a day it does help. Well good luck with Week 2!

    Absolutely it's an option!!! I'm really excited that we are just finishing up installation of brand new gunite pool!!!! Won't be really be able to use it until Spring though.

    I too didn't have a good week but managed to get back on track with the help of this challenge.
    Take one day at a time - trying to do complete some new each day - if you don't manage it, tomorrow is another day!
    Basically take the pressure off. Hope next week is a great week!!
