Re: Weight loss challange

Ok so lets start tommorow! For those who can do and arent cycling....Lets say what we will do differently startign tommorow.


For me- I NEED to excercise.
I eat pretty well during the week, but Im going to try to count some calroies or at least keep a food journal to make sure.

And Im gonna walk starting tommorow for at least 40 minutes.

Re: Weight loss challange

i exercise 5 days a week, but i need to eat better. i am going to cut out the snacks and drink more water. i also need to cut back on my portion size.
good luck!!!!!!

Re: Weight loss challange

I need to stop eating C rap!!!!!
I will start low carb again...that is the best for me b/c I have a gluten allergy and shouldn't be eating bread products anyway.

I will be doing work around the house, so I will count that as exercise , and I will TRY to get my pilates tape in a few times this week.

Re: Weight loss challange

Girls, I found this new website called sparkpeople. It is awesome!!! It is free and it helps you track your weight, journal, and gives you a program. It gives you the # of calories you burn for each exercise and it gives you a list of foods including store bought food with all the nutritional value. Also, if you go out to eat, you will also find restaurants listed.

I had begun early this month but then of course, I broke down. My problem is that I need motivation. My G-F and I were suppose to be there for each other. But, I found myself doing all the motivation for her and not the other way around.

So, I am so happy that you mentioned it for this Board! Yes, I know we have another board but it is not the same without you girls!

Here is the webpage: Sparkpeople.com It may take awhile to learn how to navigate but it is well worth it after you do. Also, there is a section called Sparkpages. It is almost like myspace but it is more like myfatspace They have tickers too....but, I am not sure if I am brave enough to post it. Maybe, that would add to my motivation. I have a page and if you create one let me know so that I can add you as a friend. I have 0 friends right now.

Re: Weight loss challange

I am so into this!!! And Juju - I joined the Sparkpeople thing. Maybe logging in and recording everything will help. Plus, they give you a diet plan to follow which may make my life easier.
Thanks for the idea guys!!

Re: Weight loss challange

Donna, I also struggle with my weight and I have two new theories that have been working for me. 1. Right before I met my husband I had lost about 50 lbc. I remember going to get new clothes-I bought reg jeans(no stretch) in a smaller size I was when I was 14. I remembered how great I felt. I have been reliving that memory and it's been helping. 2. SHOP! Every Sunday or Monday to fill your cabinets and fridge with ONLY healthy options. 3(I know I said 2, sorry) Allow yourself to eat anything you want as long as it is healthy and portion controlled(put your food on a small plate, measure, eyc-give yourself 20 mins after you eat your original portion and if you still want 2nds help yourself) I would like to join your challenge!

Re: Weight loss challange

Yes, i need to lose some also. I think if a person stops eating at a certain time at night helps. I have a good dinner and then i don't eat anything after 7:00 p.m. Just water. My sister-in-law lost weight this way.

Re: Weight loss challange

I am in. I have been doing weight watchers half azzed for months now. Last week I got serious, I am going to join you all too.

I will cotinue tracking my food and I really need to get more water in.

Thanks Donna for the motivation

Re: Weight loss challange

I'm in. I want to lose 10-15lbs before we start anything with a new RE. But, in total I want to lose 30-40.

I started drinking water and eating a healthy breakfast, which used to be a buttered roll or muffin.

As for excercise, I am going to start walking my dogs to start every other night, then Ill work up to every night.

Re: Weight loss challange

I am NOT doing well

somone call me a fat cow or something, PLEASE.

I need motivation. You would think ending the childless battle would be motivation enough...nope...it just makes me wanna sit home and eat good food.
