in Motivation and Support
Hi
Anyone interested in joining me for motivational support to lose ten pounds by Jan 31, 2010? I"m a 38yo mom of a 3yo and 18 month old. Hoping to get very near to my pre-pregnancy weight.

I'm 5ft2

Starting weight 143 lb (Jan this year - May)
Current weight 125 lb
Goal weight 115 lb

Eating lot's of lean protein, vege, salad meals. Keeping carbs mostly for the morning. Working out 6 x per week. 2 x weights, 4 x cardio.

Hardest hurdle - going out for meals and the drinks that go with it.

    I have diastasis from my two pregnancies so I started the Tupler technique today too. Basically sucking in the stomach whenever I think of it and at times sitting and concentrating on sucking it back into the spine x 100 and wearing a stretchy belt around the stomach. If you want to know more about it, you can google it and find lot's of info.

    Worked out really well today. I wear a gadget on my arm called an epulse and it tells me how many calories I burned. I burned 1,000 today, which is a lot more than normal! Now I'm debating on whether I eat all those exercise calories or not.... I think I might not and do a zig zag to try and bust out of my plateau.

    Came in at 124lb yesterday, giving me a 1 pound loss for the week. I thought I'd do better considering the amount of exercising I did. I'm becoming suspicious of my HRM, I think it might be overstating the calories. I've decided to buy a Body Bugg so I can get a more accurate reading and sort out the food/burn ratio.

    Hubby made a delicious Turkey Bolognese tonight, just went back for 2nds, so way over today's allowance. Hopefully if I increase the deficit tomorrow I won't gain!

    How'd did you all do?
