I am joining this group because I am sick of complaining about my weight, either I do something about it or I accept it. I don't want to be the fat girl when I'm out. I am a yo-yo dieter always have been. I would like to build a healthy lifestyle and be done dieting! I love to run and at the beginning of the summer I was…

I would love to do this!

I am so ready to get started and stay started! I was in a group about 5 months ago and I was doing great, until my life took a turn that was not at all positive. I'm still struggling with some things but I know now that I am important and I deserve to take care of myself and make my weight loss a priority. Here's to the…

I have not been around for awhile, I have not weighed in as I have not been following any kind of diet! I completely fell off the wagon and I am having a hard time getting it back hitched! A few problems at home and I am taking a summer class, so it has derailed all my progress. I still check in even if I am not posting.…

I could not agree more about being addicted, I also read the posts and I tell myself that when I weigh in I want it to be good, as if I am accountable to all of you. This has been great for me so far and I hope to keep my progress going!

I have enjoyed the beautiful weather today. I walked and jogged this morning and I have spent the afternoon gardening and raking the lawn. I must say I am getting a great tan :smile:

could you be off with your calories, meaning are they more than you are logging? Not sure what the problem could be?

After this post I will be hitting the trail with the dog and doing my 3 mile run! I have been shaving time off and that feels great, can now do it in 27 minutes! Next I will have to increase the distance.

I'm here, just waiting for the post so I can add my commitment! TEAM ADAM :love:

I spent the afternoon in the sunshine gardening and decided to have family over for a cookout, no walk with the dog too lazy now.

I've already jogged my 3 miles and I plan on doing some yard work and taking the dog for a 3 mile walk later. Have a good Sunday everyone :flowerforyou:

Weigh in today 5/5--159.6 Last week 161.8 Weight lost this week 2.2 Down 4.8 since we started, so happy with that, lets keep it going!!!!!

Friday is upon us again and with our weigh in a few days I want to eat sensibly this weekend, try to stay within my calories. Its like when the weekend comes all sanity goes too, it's hard to not splurge! I will go to the gym and get on a treadmill, possibly add some biking in there again. Have a good weekend everyone!

Got to the gym and there wasn't a treadmill open so I biked for 20 minutes and then got on a treadmill for 25 minutes. I feel like that was a good day.

Since the rain has returned I will be visiting the gym tonight. I am hoping to put in a 4 mile jog and some weights. I say that now but when the time comes it may change! I am not looking forward to the weigh in, not confident like I was last week at all!!!

This is such a debate, I have had trouble with this ever since I started counting calories. I do not usually eat any of my exercise calories back. I have my plan set for losing 1 lb/week. So I think I will try to maintain a 500 calorie deficit from exercise that way I should lose 2 lbs/week....who knows!

I spent the morning cleaning and then I decided to get outside and hit the trails. I am SO FRUSTRATED with my workouts outside. Before the weather warmed up I was a gym rat and 4 miles jogging on the treadmill was very doable, now jogging 3 miles outside is HELL. Its warm, windy, and hilly all the things the gym is not!…

I'm having blueberry pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I love blueberry pancakes :love:

Ok I did it I jogged and did a very short walk, I have to say I feel good that I got off the couch! I am planning on taking the dog for a walk tonight, so I will end up doing even more than I wanted to!

Honestly I really don't want to do anything today, so I guess my challenge will be finding the energy and motivation to get up and get some sort of exercise in.

I was going to make this a rest day, but I decided to go rake the lawn and move some bricks. I think I will be done for the day have to go to work in a few hours. Feels good to get outside.

I feel good about week 1, I think that any weight lost is a good thing. I was shocked and excited about the 2.6 I did lose. I worked hard getting in my exercise everyday and staying within my calories. For week 2 I want to start snacking more on veggies and fruit. I will stay the same with the exercise, maybe try to get to…

Weight- 161.8 (lost 2.6 lbs...YAY) Arm-12 Bust-37.5 Waist-33 Hip-40 Thigh-23.5 Lost inches too, I worked hard last week and with my results it is encouraging to keep going!

Walked the dog for 2 miles and jogged the other 2, all in all a good day. Grilling chicken now can't wait to eat!

Didn't make it to the gym but I did everything else!

Happy Birthday, you deserve to enjoy that day and splurge! Have a great day and enjoy some cake.

I love your posts! Hills are stupid....

I have put in a lot of exercise time the last 3 days so I am hoping that the scale will reflect that. I have to work saturday and sunday so I will only be able to do a short workout those days. I am excited to see my progress!!

I agree, breaks are very important to let the body rest and repair! I always take a day off a week, sometimes two.

I will either jog/walk with the dog, and since it is going to be so nice I want to get outside and clean out my flower beds! I am thinking about going to the gym later today to do some weights. Happy Friday :wink:
