Re: Azoodie's Holiday Weight Loss Thread!!!

Can I join this thread? Its not too late I hope. I've been doing nothing but eating my troubles away and with Turkey Day on top of that....


I need to lose 12 pounds!!! I am (sigh) currently 167 pounds and I want to be down to at least 155 by Christmas/New Year's. I think I can do it

Gym every day....at least 1 hour.

Smaller portions and more fruit

Re: Azoodie's Holiday Weight Loss Thread!!!

HI JEN!!!!!!!

Of course you're welcome

Good luck with your goal

Re: Azoodie's Holiday Weight Loss Thread!!!

Hi, if it's not too late, I'd like to post also. I'm exercising regularly, but I'm still gaining weight, so I really need to watch what I'm eating.

Right now, I weight 160. Ideally, I would like to weight 148, which I think is a very reasonable goal for me. However, I know I won't lose that by Christmas. So, by Christmas I would like to lose 3 pounds. With all the holiday goodies and special events happening, I know I won't be able to resist everything, so I think this is a reasonable goal.

I would like to get to 148 by the end of February.

Re: Azoodie's Holiday Weight Loss Thread!!!

I hope you don't mind if I join this thread too. I really need motivation and support to lose weight. I know it is going to be tough on the holiday's but if I can get through the daily day-to-day eating I am hoping to be OK.
I had success last Jan-Mar on Weight Watchers ... losing 12 pounds in 12 weeks. I rejoined and hope to shed about 25 pounds in the next 6-months or so.


With that, here is what my menu looks like today

Breakfast (3 points):
3 oz Raspberries
1 All Bran Breakfast Bar
1 20oz Coffee
1/4 cup Whole Milk

Lunch (4 points):
Sandwich: WW Rye, Honey Glazed Ham, Pepper Turker, Low Fat Swiss, Romain Lettuce & Mustard
1/2 cup Spaghetti Squash


Dinner (9 points I would think):
Blackfish
Spinach
Corn
Salad

Snacks: (3 points)
1 fun size baby ruth bar
1 wholegrain brown sugar rice cake

19 points

TGIF!! 12/1

B: omlette (3 egg whites n veggies) , 1 slice toast, coffee

L: 1.5 cups WW chili

S: ?

D: ?? going out ??

Re: Azoodie's Holiday Weight Loss Thread!!!

Congratulations AZAD! That's a great accomplishment.

Okay, I haven't posted in a few days. Today I have had the following:

Breakfast: 2 packets instant oatmeal
Soy Milk
Pinch Brown Sugar
Raisins
1 oz. cheddar cheese
Black Coffee

Snack: Clementine orange

Lunch: Grilled Chicken and Red Peppers on Sourdough Bread

Snack: Baked Lays (1 serving bag)

Dinner: Poached Flounder
Rice
Spinach Salad

Probably some dessert. I've been good this week for the most part! Thanks for starting this post. I find I'm thinking more about what I eat--have the feeling a lot of my problem was too big servings or too many little snacks, bites, etc.

As of week 1, I've lost 4 pounds which meets my goal, though I lost 3 lbs. very quickly, like in 2 days and I didn't cut back that much. Iit was probably water weight from Thanksgiving food. I may have lost 1 lb. this week.

I would like to lose 20-30 lbs by Christmas. This is my short term goal. It's written here and I can't take it back.

I'm quoting my original post...just wanted to say I'VE REACHED MY GOAL!!! Down 20.5 lbs today since this post

It wasn't so bad after all. I have been doing ww's faithfully online and have been on plan since day one (including weekends - GASP!).

I'm still going but I need to think of something new for the new year
