Offices are really bad for this (at least the ones where I have worked). I'd say 90% of my co-workers are overweight (including myself), so we definitely don't need cheesecake. I find it hard sometimes to resist all of the goodies that are left in the lunch room, but I'm getting better! I've got a reputation around the…

Thanks everyone. It's nice to know that I'm not alone :) SandyBVTN - your veggie plate is a good idea. I usually feed my bunnies before I make myself dinner, so they would like that too!

Exactly right romachel1978, you gotta do what works for you! I find an hour long workout to be too daunting so most times I wouldn't even attempt it. I'll tell myself that I'm just going to exercise for ten minutes (which usually turns into 20-30 minutes because once I get going I'm good). A little is still better than…

*Update* (To be honest, I forgot that I wrote this haha) 1) Quit snacking while making dinner. This is still a bad habit of mine, but I am getting better! I have been trying to have an apple (or whatever fruit is in season) around 4:30-5ish before I leave work, so that I'm not totally "starving" when I get home. It…

Oh goodness - that sounds intense! Thanks for letting me know. I hope I can get in!

How fast does the DPHM sell out? Is it hard to register for? I'd like to sign up next year (and plan a Disney trip around it), so I'm just wondering. Thanks :smile:

I've lost a pound this week! Finally going in the right direction. I was stuck for all of March and even gained a couple of pounds. The snow is almost all melted and I'm feelin' good!

Great job everyone! I gained a pound this week, so now I'm at 163. It's a little frustrating, but I'm still very optomistic. :) I think losing around 15 lbs by the END of the summer may be more realistic for me.

Yes, this group is still active. I, personally, haven't been very active (here or in real life), so I haven't had updates to post. I work in Human Resources and I've been helping with the Health & Wellness initiatives. We just annouced today that we will start a walking group next Monday. Employees will have more…

I wasn't going to post on here until I lost weight...but what the heck. I've been stuck at 162 since February and I know it's because of my laziness/snacking. Prior to that, I had been losing about a pound a week which was nice (started the year at 170). On the bright side, I'd rather get "stuck" than to gain the weight…

Name: Amanda Age: 27 Height: 5'4'' Your current weight: 162 lbs Your goal weight: 135 lbs Reasons why you want to lose weight: To feel comfortable/confident in my own skin again and to be healthy and fit. Also, I have a closet full of cute, too small for me dresses that I would LOVE to wear! Reasons why you don't want to…

That's a great one! It's very easy to be our own worst critic and to get down on ourselves. I also like: "Transformation is not a future event - it is a present activity" Jillian Michaels saying do something about it now! Don't wait until tomorrow

First, I suggest logging the chocolate that you eat - you might be surprised how many calories from chocolate you actually consume! I know I was when I first started here and it really gave me a reality check - I could eat as healthy as I wanted and exercise, but if I was still consuming so much high-calorie chocolate,…

I'm jumping in! I did 30DS in November and really liked it and saw improvements. December/January kind of just flew by with the holidays and OT at both jobs. Now it's mid February and I keep wanting to start the RI30, but it seems so daunting. I really want to tone up and get stronger/better in shape and I know Jillian's…

I just plan on enjoying myself and eat what I want. 1 high calorie meal/dessert isn't going to ruin my heathy lifestyle that I've been working on.

SW 170 CW 162 GW 135 (159 for the end of February) 2/1: 163 2/8: 162 2/15: 2/22: 2/28: Total loss: I'm hoping to get to 159 by the end of February - I haven't been in the 150s since university, so I'm excited! I've been losing about 1 pound a week, so I think 159 is definitely possible. Trying to lose more than a pound a…

Height: 5'4'' Age: 26 Weight: 170 lbs Goal : 135 lbs Measurements: 36-32-42 (bust-waist-hips) It's interesting reading others' goal weights at my height. I was worried that 135 lbs may be too low (haven't been that weight since grade 8). I would like to continue building muscle and lose fat while keeping some curves (I…

Thanks for your input Phoenix_Warri! I also want to think about adding more positive foods/activities to my life rather than focusing on restricting things. :)
-
Exactly. January is the one month that I try NOT to go to the gym. At home and outside exercising until the crowds die down. Years ago for Lent, I gave up chips and pop and since then I have had no desire to drink pop again. Chips, however, I still (try to)eat in moderation. Some "treats" you just don't miss after you've…

I just started on Monday and it's been a real eye-opener for me! Who knew there were so many calories in chocolate? :) I'm on during the day Monday-Friday, so anyone please feel free to add me!
