Weigh in Time Ladies

[RNIAM]

Hi everyone. I think it is best to keep this on our bb. As it may get lost on the off topic bb. things fly by so fast over there

So I had a cheat day yesterday. I am back on track again today. My cheat wasn't too serious but it still was. Sometimes it is just so hard. Anyways I have 10 pounds off so far. My goal weight is 150lbs. I try to exercise every day. I haven't done anything yet but today isn't over yet. How is everyone else doing?

Hi, everyone:

I'm new here and starting nursing school in about 2 weeks. How can I manage not to "find" all the weight I lost several months ago? I'll have a drive of 45 minutes (one-way to school) and be sitting in a classroom for 6-8 hours. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Proposal:

We should share "planning". For example. Someone doesn't know what to do food or exercise-wise, so another person comes up with a plan for them for like a week or so. That way, we are challenged outside of ourselves. It works for most people. Sort of the equivalent of having a walking buddy waiting on a street corner for you to start.

Just a thought.

I have an email buddy and that might be a better idea. Buddy up with someone on the board to be accountable to, other than yourself. then every week you can let everyone know how it is going. You can either give each other your email addresses or pm each other.

Just an idea.

Weight control,,,,, been problem all my life,,,,,, esp,,, trying to do it the fast track,,,,, always lost the weight and ended up gaining back that and more,,,,,,,

Two years ago,,,,, at 204lbs,,,,, all time high,,,,, got serious,,,,, Changed my eating habits,,,,, eat well balanced meal,,,,, snack,,,, No red meat,,,,, a personal choice,,,,

in year,,, had gotten to 175,,,, reach a plateau,,,,, didn't stress on it,,,,,, just watched the scale and stayed there,,,,,,,

This January,,,,, wieght started coming off again,,,,, Needed other excersise than the miles I walk everyday at work,,,,, Joined a gym,,,,

Work out with wieghts,,,,,,machines,,,, and swim,,,,,Three days week,,,,,, Mondays,,, Wednesdays,,,, Fridays,,,,,

Tuesdays/ Thursdays,,, some Saturdays,,, I may go and do laps,,,, but don't use wieghts,,,,

Weight this am,,,,,, 152,,,,,, No goal wieght at this time,,,,, If I can tone up skin,,,, to fit body,,,, lol that is goal now,,,,,

Physically feel better than I have in ages,,,,, at 45,,,, happy with myself,,,, my body,,,,,,

This is now life time,,,, pattern,,,, One I intend not to stop,,,, I can really tell if I have missed day of workouts,,,,

If I tone up,,,,, decide what to do with breasts,,,,, ( see my other thread,,),,,,, goal weight would be,,,, 140,,,,, I'm 5'7" but also have large bones,,,,,

Want to look,,,,, healthy,,,, and proportioned!!!!

good luck everyone with thier own goals,,,,,,, Nikita~~~

Good Morning Everyone!

Well...I'm still not sure how much weight I've lost...DH is still holding out on me with the scale! But anyway...I've been working out 3x/week with my Bowflex and I haven't faltered yet with my eating plan! I think i am starting to see a little bit of definition in my arms! Woo Woo! And I can now slide my pants off over my hips without unbuttoning or unzipping them! Granted...this is the second wearing of them...but I honestly don't think I could have done this before! I'm so excited and I'm finally beginning to feel I have my control back! It is still very challenging for me...especially when DH cheats on his eating plan...oh well! Anyway, I've been eating a lot of salad lately and I'm so sick of it! Needless to say I haven't been consuming all the veggies I need...so my goal is to up my veggie intake in other forms. So far so good...Jewel had asparagus on sale for $2.99/lb so I stocked up yesterday!

Well...good luck ladies! Let's all continue going strong!!!

Blah. I did great this weekend...I've not been doing good yesterday or today...Need to work out tonight & quit snacking.

It feels so depressing to cheat...although at the time it tastes good :chuckle

Come on, ladies!!! quit beating yourselves up!! you are bright articulate people. Please, try not to should on yourselves so much. It's great to want to change, but don't feel so defeated when you have something other the carrotsticks. I just want to cry when i read some of these posts.

Uh oh...there's ice cream in the freezer, and I ate some....

I'll just coordinate it around my points today and tomorrow....no biggie....

C'mon! Quit whining and DO something! The hardest step is one NOT taken!

We can do this!

I challenge all of you to a 30 minute walk this evening. (No...work doesn't count.) Who's up to it?

Hang in there!

Julie:)

I'm up to it Julie...that sounds good, I've been sitting all day!

But I guarantee it will become a "run" with a toddler :chuckle

True, we shouldn't be too hard...but if I don't scold myself a little-no one else will...& I'm the one who has to button the jeans :chuckle
