No More Excuses - Week One

Hey everyone and welcome to all the new people that joined since I last posted :flowerforyou:

It's Sunday afternoon for me here and I am so pleased as it is the second weekend in a row I have managed to stay on track. Usually come the weekend I undo all my hard work but not anymore! No More Excuses hehe.

I finished Week One of Couch 2 5km yesterday and starting Week 2 tommorrow. Going to do Pilates this afternoon and maybe even a walk if it is not too cold.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend :bigsmile:

PS. Good work Amanda on giving up pop! I'm on week 2 of giving up coffee and feeling much better for it. I know you can do it!

It is 7am here and I've already weighed in as we are out at hockey and my soccer today, plus lots of errands.

My current weight is 155.8

I'll check back in later to see if any challenges have been set!

Have a great day everyone!

I am Laura, I am 29 years old. I am a wife and a mom of a 4 year old little girl named Anna Grace, and a 2 year old little boy named Jacob. I weighed in this morning at 251.4, but I had lost 52 pounds now it is only 41, due to some things that have come up, including all of my family being sick, but I love the title of this post, and I believe no more excuses is what is going to get me to my goal. I started MFP on January 1, 2009 weighing in at 292 pounds, the heaviest I have ever weighed in my whole life. My goal is to weigh 120, I am only 5'2" so this is a reasonable goal for me, I have never been skinny in all of my adult life and I have been overweight since middle school. If you want you can read the rest of my story on my profile. Thanks for creating this post.

Good morning everyone. It is 10:00 a.m. here and going to be a beautiful day. I would love to go kayaking if my husband is willing. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Off to church now but will check in later for any challenges.

Starting weight: 184 pounds

Current weight: 183 pounds

Goal weight: 150

Thanks Amanda for logging our numbers!

Okay here is the weight but I figured I'd put out there what I measure so I can always see where I am succeeding (Okay or faulting!). Thank you Amanda!

SW : 170.0
CW: 162.0
GW: 148.0

Hips 41
Natural Waist 31
Military Waist 33.5
Left Leg 22.0
Right Leg 22.5

Arms sometimes but not today.

Anyway, I find if you track measurements on the week of no weight movement you can generally see tape movement (much healthier anyway!)

Good Luck Team:happy:

:explode: Challenge alert!! :explode:
:bigsmile: 20 pushups (wall, knee, military, etc) 3-4X this week:bigsmile:
:bigsmile: 30-45 min of cardio (3-4 min) this week:bigsmile:

Any others???

Amanda - thanks for doing this and let's not worry about the time differences It's just after 4pm over here so the weekend is drawing to a close Never mind - I feel so much more positive about keeping on track during the week ahead now that I know I've got this lovely group to come back to in the evenings. Thank you all.

Still trying to figure this out!

Here are my numbers :-)

SW: 235

CW: 222

GW: 150

I don't have my measurements at the moment, but I'll take those down soon.

P.S. Thank you Amanda for recording everyone's weigh-ins.

By the way, I ate a hamburger yesterday!!!!!!!! :noway: I felt terrible, because my fat calories went over but at least I didn't use all of my calories for the day. I only had some oatmeal in the morning and then a hamburger at night with a weight watcher's desert. Oh well, today is a new day :-)
