I've started adding some foods and since I'll make something and eat it for 4-5 days, this may be easier/less annoying than I thought. Yeah, I know all about going overboard when I'm bored/stressed/lazy whatever I'm using that day as a reason to eat all the "bad" food! I do like that using the diary will definitely keep us…

I haven't posted here in quite awhile. I need to go back and read through see what I've missed. I think the last time I posted I had lost about 6 lbs, but then I basically gained it all back. I get down to low 140's and then just seem to screw it up over and over again. So, I started over-again-and am down to 142/143. I…

I think I'm out. Something is screwed up in my shoulder and I'm going to blame it on the pushups because I haven't worked out since last Wednesday's boot camp class. I was doing all the pushups on my toes up until day 7 and then something didn't feel right, so I did them on my knees yesterday and today (should have just…

avskk/Sara, thanks for the support/encouragement. You're right I do have 3 more days so I should make the best of them and get over the 3 days that I "screwed up". Like many other people have said, it's the all or nothing mentality and idk why it's so hard to not be like that. I should have come here and posted on Wed when…

The last few days have really sucked. I haven't been working out (except for the 30 day challenge) and have been eating all kinds of crap. Fast food/junk food since Wed. And now my gym is closed until Tues so there's no chance that I'm going to have a good weigh in Tues morning. I think I'm going to skip it because I know…

Day 2 done. I considered skipping it because I do body pump on Tuesdays. Just hoping that there are no pushups in this afternoon's class, but there probably will be. I'm feeling the pushups from yesterday and today a lot more than I thought I would be. But, that's a good thing!

Thanks eraweir. It sounds as if you're really busy and it really is hard to always make the best food choices or get in the exercise in those situations. That's great though to bring your weights w/ you and workout in your hotel room. I think I have an "advantage" in that I don't work right now and therefore have much more…

Week 2 Weigh In: SW: 150.6 (13 Aug) CW: 144 GW:130 I lost 1.2 lbs this week. I guess I have to be happy with that, but in my mind it's not enough. This is why I haven't been under 140 in years bc I just give up and go back to eating all the food and maintaining (around 145ish) through a lot of exercise. But, I'm not going…

Day 1 done. That was a little harder than I thought it would be !

So, I said I would only weigh in on Tuesdays, but I'm starting to obsess over the scale. I broke down and weighed myself this morning. The # was down, but only by .4 lbs. ugh...official weigh in will be Tues. I really want to lose at least 1 lb this wk. Honestly, I'd rather lose more, but I just don't know if it's…

Finally weighed myself today and am pretty happy with the results. SW: 150.6 (13 Aug) CW: 145.2 GW:130 *About 3 lbs of that was water weight (my period started on the 13th and I retain a lot of water)* But, the other 2 lbs I really worked for. My scale does the body fat and muscle % so I'm keeping track of those also. BF…

When's the start date? I'll do it with you. I always say I need to do things like this at home when I don't go to the gym, but I never get around to it. I would like to work on my push ups (even more) so this would definitely help. I've come from not being able to do 1 push up to now can usually do about 25 in a row - on…

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning bc that's when my week started. I did really good with eating -especially over the weekend when it rained and the power went out every day for several hrs each time. Normally, I would have said let's go eat or do something bc I'm bored, but I resisted. Well, I did eat my 1 cheat…

I drink only water. Maybe lemonade if I get really bored with water, but I make it myself with fresh lemons and honey. I've never drank coffee and very rarely drink alcohol so I'm lucky that I don't have to cut those calories out. I don't eat dairy. No allergies. It's more for ethical reasons, but I do eat meat/eggs which…

I'm trying to focus on the small 5 lb goals also. I started at 150 so I want to be close to 145 by 1 Sep and then lose another 5 and then it will just seem easier and more likely to get to the final goal.

I don't remember Monday. Tuesday was the day I posted my stats on GOMI so I'm starting my week with that. I didn't weigh myself today (I'm going to wait until next Tues). I was on the first day of my period last Tues so my next weigh in should show a pretty good loss (if I don't blow it) because I retain like 3 lbs of…

Basically what she said. The second one anyway. I do like to eat late at night though, but I can control it w/out too much effort. Other than food issues, honestly, I'm just lazy. I don't like to work out. I want to get the results, but hate to actually have to do the work. I think this is because until I was about 25 I…

Height 5'6" Current weight: 150.6 (as of 13 Aug) Goal: 130 (but am more concerned w/ lowering body fat%) Fitness goal: consistently continue to work out. I'm great at working out 4 or 5 days/wk, but then get lazy, take a week or two off and have to keep starting over. Non Fitness goal: eat 3 meals/day. I've got to learn to…

Naomi on GOMI. I forgot I had a mfp account until I tried to join this group -obviously didn't do much with it, but I changed my username today to be somewhat more like my GOMI name. (Naomi is actually my middle name. I had never heard of Naomi/love taza until I found GOMI.) Anyway, I'm here.
