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

i'm weighing in today...

week 1 - down .6
week 2 - up .6
week 3 - down .6

total = down .6

I wish it was more though since I did the 30 day shred 3x this week!!

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

Well done - you are back on the board isn't it weird when you start working out sometimes the scales does not move as fast as you would expect - maybe our bodies are in shock and start holding on for dear life to our fat stores

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

SO funny I was thinking of doing that too - rearranging it so the one who has lost the most will be at the top etc...the only thing that stopped me was I didnt want to make anyone feel bad....BUt it could be a big motivator to climb up that list...of course that would mean I would have to move down the leader board and I dont know if I could handle that

Anyone else want to "weigh in" on this and let me know what you think about rearranging the names?

TIA

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

First, Janice-that is awesome! I am about where you are too, so don't feel alone! We will get where we need to be!

I haven't weighed myself again, but I swam for 30 minutes today, walked 2 miles Sunday, 1.5 Monday and Tuesday. DH and I will also be walking 2 miles tonight.

And I've been eating healthy so lets hope that scale budges!

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

Had a TERRIBLE eating weekend! I'm having a really hard time staying on track over the weekends!

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

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

Maybeamommy - I too had a TERRIBLE weekend - lots of treats - well it was mothers day / weekend after all . Felt awful this morning but will work out later and try to be good - its such a pain this losing weight business but I know I will feel so much better about myself if I could just shift these last 8 pounds......so onwards on upwards and the weekends are a killer for most people I would imagine

Diamondgirl -welcome - I will add you to the list and awesome weight loss so far

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

I had a terrible week and weekend so I am not going to say my weight status.

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

Not weighing myself until the end of the week. Terrible weekend-not diet wise, but I couldn't exercise because my arthritis flared and my knees, legs, feet and hands are swollen. I have about 5lbs of swelling so I will refrain from making myself depressed.

Hopefully the new no dairy diet will make me lose weight.

I am going to try to do the 30 day shred tomorrow. Or swim. Something.

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

Hey girls! Okay, I've made a decision: I'm going back on South Beach diet at least for the 2 weeks before my graduation to kick start my weight loss.

I did really well the first time and lost 40 lbs and have kept it off for 6 years. I do think my weight has crept up lately because I've been more lenient in my eating. So here it goes...wish me luck!

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

Good luck glinda Keep us posted. Some times its just the kick start we need to get us motivated

Munckinfacemama - I hope you feel better- maybe swimming would be the easiest on your body? I had a terrible weekend too and know I am going to pay the price when I weigh in on thursday.

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

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I'm trying to bring healthy lunches/snacks to work! What's everyone eating?

This week it's...

-nature's valley fruit & nut trail mix bar
-salad with grilled chicken
-2 tbsp hummus with baby carrots

I bought about 2 lbs of chicken over the weekend, seasoned it with a little oil, chopped garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, cumin, salt & pepper and then grilled it all on Sunday night. Then I sliced all of the chicken into thin strips to eat over my salads! I hope this helps me this week.

I also had MAJOR WILLPOWER and said "no thanks" to the chocolate cake and carrot cake that my BIL brought over last night!!!


***Also, did anyone have thoughts about making the front page in order from most to least total weight loss???

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

Maybeamommy - check out the first page!! I hope I have not missed out on anyones update - please let me know if you have.....now lets try to get UP that board and not down!

I am walking 3 miles in the morning with my DS in the stroller and aiming for another 30 mins on the treadmill in the evening.

Pre Walk Snack - Banana and bottle of water
Breakfast - Decaf black coffee and two slices of WW toast

Lunch - hummus wrap ( going to stir fry some veggies this evening so I can have them for lunch tomorrow in a wrap)

Dinner - probably a stir fry today.
Dessert- skinny cow ice cream.

Snacks- Fiber one 90 calorie bars, fruit etc.

Thats the good side of my day...BUT I have been sneaking in a cookie here and there as DD and I made some M&M cookies over the weekend - I know they are bad but they are SO good.

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

Down another 1.2lbs for a total of 4.8 in 3 weeks.

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

Good luck Glinda

Munchkinfacemama, stick with swimming until you are feeling better. 30 day is hard on the body. You don't want to make things worse

I was very naughty this weekend. I have a feeling I am going down on that list But it will make me work harder next week

Nursing moms, how is your supply doing? I took a major hit last week. I guess I wasn't eating enough. I can't find a happy medium. I drink an insane amount of water so its not dehydration. I just feel like my lo is always eating. Anyone else's lo seem to be nursing more since you started losing weight?

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

Down another pound! So that is 5.6

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

Well done pookie

Imyself - I am nursing too but my DS is 9 months so probably not nursing as much as your little one - how old is your DC? I do feel that my body is refusing to budge on its weight because I am nursing but I Could be wrong...I am working out, watching what I eat mostly and the scales still wont move or if they do its a half a pound or one pound at the most.

My body seems to be comfortable at a certain weight but I am not comfortable at that weight....I wish I could jump start my weight loss but I am pretty limited with what I can do because I am nursing.

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

Thanks ladies-I am on prednisone for swelling and I was advised to do swimming. Yesterday I was in too much pain, but today I am going when DH gets home to watch DD. I will start 30 day once i am better.

Hayley-proud of you with the snacks! I made a really great chicken salad and used little mayo-I used chicken, walnuts, celery, red grapes and a green apple-yum!

I am only up 1lb with swelling in both knees, hands and feet, so that is not too bad.
