  • 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…
  • "Harvey's makes your hamburger....a beautiful thing" :laugh: This thread is making me hungry (AND I'm working late tonight)!
  • 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!
