    Id like to join in as well

    Im in a different time zone being in the southern hemisphere. but still need some support..

    Im feeling aweful at the moment as I have had a HUGE dinner today and no exercise. Work was long and tired.. the last thing I could think of was exercise let alone cooking anything decent. So I ate out (had a heavy creamy indian curry) and im really paying for it now.. Oh am I feeling FULL!!!

    boy am I kicking myself.. why do we do this to ourselves

    :sad:


    welcome :flowerforyou:

    Morning all. Today I have not started all that great as I didn't get to the gym but there is always later on today. I ate a smaller breakfast as a result. My 16 month old kept us up last night so I stayed in and slept. Yesterday finished off, I ate a bit more to get in my cals but it was popcorn..100 calorie and like a tbs of PB. I wonder if eating carbs like popcorn at 10pm is bad no matter how many cals one has eaten. Anyhoo, I wish yall the best today!

    Morning team!! Sorry I've been MIA for a few days!

    I spent Saturday at a local Marching Band Competition (I was a HUGE bandnerd back in HS). It was a blast. Sunday, hubs and I were both sunburnt and lazy, so we did NOTHING. lol But it's okay. I knew the weekend would be off track, because of all the junk food at the competition.

    Yesterday, we walked 2.5 miles in the rain. I loved it. I was able to walk it all without getting completely breathless, and was able to talk and walk at the same time, instead of huffing and puffing.

    All of you guys keep going... Look a week ahead and say, "I can do this by then". You are all wonderful.

    It's cold and rainy, and the last thing I want to do is get out and go to the gym.
    But I have to. It's that, or something here at home, and nothing is appealing at the moment.

    I got the Wii fit plus, and it's a lot of fun. The games are silly, and fun, and I would love to be able to just play those games, but I don't think the Wii fit is really meant to take the place of all other forms of exercise.
    Best case scenario -- I go the the gym and do a good 30 - 45 minutes or cardio. Do some upper body, then come home and play the Wii fit for a half hour or so.

    Water is not good so far. I've been drinking diet soda instead. So I'd better get on it, or I'll be in the bathroom all night if I wait to long to chug-a-lug.

    Everyone is doing great. We all hit snags and bumps in the road, but we have to figure out our way around them.

    This is the first day I got in my calories before 10pm. So Maybe I can go to bed at a decent hour.

    Good Morning everyone. I am pumped and ready to go this morning. I ate too much sodium yesterday but I will not today. That is my goal today, to not eat too much sodium. I want to drink my water, do my exercise, I am hoping that I a can get on my bike today, not sure if I will or not yet.

    Challenge today: 40 minutes of exercise, 64 oz of water.

    well today did not go as well as I thought it would, I ended up eating too many calories today, I am glad that tomorrow is a new day. I hope you all had a great day and did great.

    Good evening,

    I got in 45 minutes earlier but will do 25 more to compensate for the chips I ate. ( really gonna have to stop doing that.) Not so good with the water but I never seem to be able to drink that much.


    Beware of Aldi chicken breast... they have a lot of sodium. I guess cheaper is not always best.

    Anyway have a good night.

    Hi, Guys.
    I have been doing well with the calories, and trying to work in the exercise.
    I didnt do so well with water today, but tomorrow I will.
    Walked at a decent pace for 45 mins today. I did a mile and half.

    Have a great night, and a better tomorrow.

    Good Morning Everyone, I am up, pumped and ready to go today. I messed up yesterday for the first time in almost 2 weeks, but that is okay, I am right back to it today. I am going to drink my water and try to do my exercise, have not been feeling the best today so far. Not sure what is going on here.

    Ready for the Day. Did pretty good yesterday but could have eaten less SUGAR. ALthough I did do my shred so that is a plus. Goals for today are eat good calories and do my shred and perhaps take a walk with the baby and the dogs. Happy Friday evreryone

    Hi Team! You're all doing so great! I'm really proud of all of you.

    I am about to finish my third bottle of water today, that'll put me at 50.7 oz. Gonna keep drinking.
    Got to work and realized I'm out of everything but popcorn! So all I've had today was a 100 calorie pack of popcorn. Gonna eat a big dinner then walk if the weather holds out. (We're due for tornados and hail this afternoon).

    Keep on keepin' on!

    I did about 45 minutes, playing Wii fit plus, and mowed lawn for another half hour today.
    I know doing the Wii fit, is not the same as a workout dvd, or going to the gym, but I did such a variety of activities, I think it was really good for me. Not a huge calorie burner, but still effective. And it was fun. :happy:

    I still have to log my food, and I'm behind on water for the day, but I still have time to fix that.

    Keep up the great work everyone! I'm so happy this thread is still alive. I was posting in a couple of other ones, but everyone else seems to have dropped out. Let's all hang in there!

    Newattitude2009. moving is the most important part especially for your body systems

    I did okay today not enough water. I am hungry even though I just ate but I will probably drink some water eat the 31 cals I have left :laugh: and go to bed.

    Wow!! I Haven't posted for a few days now. Everyone's doing great! Congratulations to you all!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Well, my week was just a disaster. Overeating and indulging myself with chips and sweets without exercising it off. :noway: I'm really down right now because I feel that I'm going back to my old habits and gaining back the weight I lost :grumble: I really have to quit cold turkey on junk food. Moderation, for me, was not the key. Portion control was not a problem back then, but now??! i don't know.. :frown:

    But I'm really glad to hear everyone's doing great! :wink:

    Everyone beware. It is the start of the most dangerous season, and it will go on through Easter. Fun size candy! They are the devil.
    Don't fall for the pretty colors and seasonal wrappings. Don't buy a bunch 'just in case' for Halloween, if you don't get many trick or treaters. Ok -- maybe you can buy one bag, 'just in case'. But that will do. Or you if you don't trust yourself to have it in the house, and don't have little kids that will be disappointed, just keep your light off, on Halloween night. The kids will get plenty of goodies, irregardless.

    I'm saying this because I ate a bunch of fun sized milky ways. They sneak up on you. They are VICIOUS! Resist! Be strong!

    I didn't do bad at all calorie wise. I had planned an overage day. It was actually yesterday but I ended up exercising so I moved it to today. It took everything I had not to exercise the cals off but I did it and maybe it will help my frequent stalls.

    I've been getting a lot of compliments and it's starting to make me think well maybe I don't need to lose so much or maybe I can take it slower. But I am committed to stay on this track and lose the next 25 by Feb.

    Hope everyone had a great week but we'll all have a better week this week. I can feel it. :drinker:
