Week 13 October 14 – 280.0 .4 lost. Not all that impressive. Going to have to try harder. 23 pounds total
Week 14 October 21 – 274  6.0 LOST!!! I don’t know what happened but I’m absolutely THRILLED with it. Let’s just hope it sticks.
Week 15 October 28 – 274.6 ;-P .6 gained but that’s alright. After such a big loss last week I didn’t expect a loss this week. I’m still working at it though.

Week 16 November 4 – 273.8 down .8 since last week. At least I’m headed in the right direction now.
Week 17 November 11 – 271.4 down 2.4 since last week. Woo Hoo! 31.6 lost since we began in July.

WOW... You are kicking butt!!!! :flowerforyou: What is your secret?

Awwww.... thanks. :blushing:

I made a pact with myself that I was going to have no junk food, sweets, pop, caffeine etc for 1 year and so far I have stuck with it (since June 27). I mostly eat raw fruits and veggies, whole grain/wheat bread/bagels, lean meats, etc... I try to stick to the principle of Clean Eating although very occassionally I do have a white flour product. I only drink water and skim milk and sometimes 100% orange juice.

I also just finished the Couch to 5K running program. Of course I will have to keep exercising...lol.

I am just incredilby strict with myself but I am not feeling miserable about it. If I found it made me miserable or depressed I wouldn't have been able to stick to it this long. I actually am doing well with being that strict and don't really have any strong cravings.

I think the major thing that has helped though is my family is on board this time and they are trying to eat healthier too. Not perfect but much better than they were before.

A typical day for me would be 2 cups of skim milk, raw veggies, a hard boiled egg, and half a whole wheat pita for breakfast. Lunch would be a fruit salad. Dinner would be a lean turkey sandwich on whole wheat with swiss cheese and 3 cups of skim milk. Or maybe chicken breast and rice for dinner. I almost always drink 2 litres of water a day and exercise about three times a week for an hour.

I make sure I get at least 1200 calories a day and stick pretty close to my allowances without going over except I usually go over on protein and very occassionally on carbs but not by much. My goal is set at 1.5 lbs per week which gives me 1260 calories a day allowance at this point.

Take care,
T
:drinker:

Your amazing! I wish I had your dedication and will power. I look forward to seeing your progression throughout the whole year.

4.4 lbs in 1 week! WOW!!

Well ... I lifted something wrong at work today, on top of everything else that was going on ... So no Zumba for me tonight ... ouch! I really did work up a sweat today in the Print Shop so I don't feel any guilt ... but Zumba would have been way fun. Oh well, I'll take it as my higher power's way of telling me to take a rest.

*sigh* Maggie, Maggie, Maggie... you are turning into me, hurting yourself at work.

Well I hope it isn't serious and you'll be back at Zumba in no time. :flowerforyou:
