Re: Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Okay so the results are in for me for WEEK 1 and I lost ...................................................................................a measly HALF a pound!!!

Trying not to get too pizzed off as its week 1 and I have only started working out regularly this week and hope that now I am on some sort of workout schedule that I will stick to it and the scales will start to move down, down, down.

At least the scales didnt go up and it did move....even if it was only a little.

So hop on those scales ladies and give me your good news

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

lost .07!!

I wish it was more, but i blame it on AF...should be here any second

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

I am on day 6 of 30 Day Shred. I started at 183 last week. I weighed in this morning and .............181.5. So I am down 1.5lbs for the week I read breastfeeding moms shouldn't lose more then 1-2lbs a week so I am on the right track I just hope I can keep this up.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Okay, I started on Monday (3 days ago) at 146. Today I am...

145.5.

So 0.5 lbs lost. Normally that would be good but I was so baddd yesterday. I know it should have been more. Long story short, our program at UMD was supposed to host lab tours and have this coctail hour style reception before. There was a mishap with the bus and no one showed! And we had $1000 worth of food! Mini egg rolls, chicken fingers, quesadillas, mini quiche, decadent brownies, spanikopita... and they were soooo good! But I ate wayyy too much.

Back on track today!

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Me too!! I want to join! :D
My overall goal is to lose 15 lbs, and think 10lbs by july 4th would be fantastic!

I was a member of weight watchers off and on. Last time I joined was last year. I lost some weight and then stopped doing it and gained it back. A few mos. ago I lost 10 lbs, going from 148 to 138 and then gained 5 back. but I've pretty much held steady at my "new" weight of 143 (-5lbs since february).

what made a huge difference for me was a) going to bed at a reasonable time (by midnight). since i'm not working I find I stay up till all hours and ended up midnight snacking a lot. and when i midnight snack i kind of just munched and munched without thinking much about it. now if i'm not asleep by midnight, i will have a glass of water and no snacks. b) working out 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. i did the elliptical and ran on the treadmill, building up my mileage from zero to 3 miles.

I really need to work on consistently working out. I find I slack off once I start seeing results. Kind of opposite of what you might think the impact would be. You'd think I'd be MORE motivated once I saw results, but no.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Can I do my "official" weigh in tomorrow?

I'm used to doing mine on Fridays... then I use Friday night as my sort of indulgent night (not going overboard though!) since we go out for dinner every Friday.

I did weigh myself today and was only down .2 from last week... but I think it's because I completely PIGGED OUT yesterday! We had a doctor's appointment and got home hours later than usual, so I was STARVING and basically ate everything in sight! But I did refrain from eating the chocolate mousse cake that my BIL brought... so you win some, you lose some - right?

Anyhoo I guess I'm down .2 for now... but I'll weigh in again tomorrow and hopefully be down a little bit more since I won't have pigged out the night before!

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

-1lb

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

I would love to join in on this too...I was doing well for a while and then started slacking off.
I really need to lose about 20 pounds, but would be thrilled with 10 by July 4th...
Right now, I'm 178
I'd be happy at 160 at this point.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Add me in too...the more motivation the better!! I just joined WW on Monday...my weigh in day is monday so i'll just put that weight on here.

I have 34lbs to lose to get back to my pre baby weight. I was 118 when I got pegnant in 07...went up to 164. Started my 2nd pregnancy in 09 at 137 and am now 3 months pp and weighed in at 152.

I don't really have the time to excersize so i'll just be mainly walking with the boys. I am completely changing my eating habits though so i'm hoping that's enough to help me lose. I was the type that ate junk food all day and night...wouldn't think twice about eating an entire bag of cookies in one sitting...lol.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Didn't want to post yesterday hoped the scale was wrong, but it wasn't. +1 pound for me.

They say the last ten are the hardest. I have been at this for a year now, down about 60 pounds definately unmotivated this week!

oh well on to next week

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Welcome Gertyrae and DMarieK

Onwards and downwards 3girls1dog - the last 10 are definitely the worse to lose. I have had two kids but these last 10 lbs are not pregnancy related they are the pounds I gained by being lazy after having DD #1 and before getting pregnant with DS.

I am really hoping that exercise will help.

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

down .6

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Do we give both the weight lost this week, and the total loss?

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!

Re: UPDATE Lose 10 lbs by July 4th Weekend!!!!
