Checking in: CW 190 GW 175 Still looking forward to reading everyone's plans for holiday survival.

Thanks everyone for this valuable info! I will try this week with taking some "slowing down" breaks. Question about do I finish the distance...yes, just fatigued. I will update everyone end of the week. Best wishes for Thanksgiving. :)

Congrats! Keep up the work!

I'm battling the same thing. At work, I've just started walking around or flat out not bringing any "bad" stuff to munch on. At home, harder, but try to drink tea.

Love the cheese too, but it hates me and I don't like what it does :(

checking in CW 190 GW 178 SW 198 How is everyone planning to survive the goodies coming during Thanksgiving?

I've been running for awhile, yet to experience any afterburn. I don't see much change but know all to well what happens if I stop!:smile:

Delay due to no internet... CW 195 GW 175 really struggling this week because I am sick, 3 small ones and a full time job :(

I hear this alot. I recommend speaking with your provider (doc or nurse practioner). Given your history you might want to inquire about depo or implanon. If you've never been pregnant, a provider may not want to place an IUD, still you can inquire. The issue with weight gain and depo is very variable. Some women tolerate…

Me too....we have to have a plan to get through the holidays and make our goal weight!!!! What will yours be?

I'm 5"9 and some change.... CW 195 GW 165 but I'd get happy at 175. I'm over 40 and really determined to get down for health purposes. good luck everyone

Checking in. Today 195, gw still 175. Hope everyone is doing well. What is everyone's biggest challenge with weight loss and how have you overcome/overcoming it?

Congrats on your 30 pound loss. How old are you? I've crossed the 40 yard line and believe me the weight is hard to loose. Your asthma meds do have steroid components, however these meds are helping you to complete your exercise goals and stay healthy. If your health care covers it, I would sit down with a registered…

So good that everyone is doing this! Cheers. How does everyone stay motivated?

Thanks for the encouragement. Sure is tough.

Here's to week #2, Oct 22: Today 198 GW=178

41 and really trying to stay positive. What are your goals?

Thanks for this. I don't eat fast food, or go to resturaunts. My biggest problem is eating late and my love affair with bread. Had a rough patch where I ate candy, but generally I don't do it. I'm seeing the sad effects of that stupid candy-vacation. Back on the good foot now!

I'm in. SW 198, CW 198, NYGW=178.

That's cool....I'm an endomorph trying to survive in a ectomorph world. Any words of encouragement sure would be appreciated.

I too have been battling depression and frustration. I've just returned and am determined to move forward. Let's do it together. Add me as a friend.

I just saw this. I would like to join. SW: 194 May 2012 Aug 1: 185 Goal: to be in the 160s. Ht=5'9" Got a little discouraged by how slow I am trynta run these days.

Just saw this and did 20. Count me in for the next challenge.

This is perfect. Thank you!

Thanks for this input. It's made me feel a little better.

Gathering from context clues what a Tom is. I too felt like crying all last week and today because of the weight I gained last month. I've been so horribly stressd out and discouraged: totally fell off the wagon. :( Hope someone has some bit of encouragement here.

Was it a good movie?

That's pretty impressive.

Yeah me too. I've been out of town on business: exercise, diet all very hard while traveling. Back home now and ready to get to it! Operation Skinny B*tch activated!

Exercise goal for this week AM yoga/zumba. Still aiming to keep calories in line. Weight this week starting at 181.
