Although, It says for students Everyone is welcome.
A few years ago I lost a significant amount of weight and increased my health by walking/running. I was involved with a support thread on another board. We shared our stats each week, our ups, and our downs. It was so helpful for me to be accountable for my actiions and numbers. Well, I was doing good, but had a surprise pregnancy now he is 2, and I am back where I was and then some.
With the unique considerations that come from fitting excercise and a healthy diet in during NS/and pre- reqs, I thought it might be nice to be able to share and support each other because we know better than anyone else the stress of time management and pressure of keeping our grades up.
I know that NS can be strenuous physically and I want to get in shape or at least a head start for this fall
One week down and...how many more to go? Congrats to everyone who lost and keep up the good work.
I have something for you guys to ponder, I've heard that you need to reduce 'X' amount of calories a day to lose weight and I've heard that you can do it by the week too. Like if you had a 'naughty' day you could make up for it the next day? Anyway hear anything like this?
Anyway, today is another day, right? I hope everyone has a great week and keep up the good work and support. I'm loving it. :heartbeat
yeah i believe that it is if you reduce your calorie intake by 3500 cals per week or 500 per day you will lose a lb so if you want to lose more just dbl it and the more exercise the more you can eat....
I like Monday weigh-ins. It keeps me on the straight and narrow all weekend. If I thought I didn't have to pay for my sins until Wednesday or Thursday, who knows how much trouble I could get into?!?
I'll get the stats posted a little later tonight. I have got to spend at least a little time today cleaning this house! With the 3 tests last week and the head cold, I didn't do anything around the house and it shows! Yuck!!
FABULOUS results WishN! That is just too awesome. Four pounds is a bunch.
I hope that the weather clears up for you so you can get out and about. I kind of like the treadmill though as I can watch TV and not think about how long I have been on it!
Fuuchan it is 3500 to lose a pound so if you were shooting for two pounds a week you would need to reduce the weekly calories by 7000 or basically cut 1000 out a day of which you already eat. Also, exercise counts cause the more you exercise the more you burn!
Good luck everyone!
Maine Good luck with your test I am glad you are feeling better!

3500 calories =1lb
I have been told by many sources and also in biggest looser books there are 2 ways to do this.
my scales are saying 3 lbs for the week so thats a good start but i have to drink more water...being gone all day makes it hard...b/c i like ice cold water...so that is something i am goin to set a goal for this week...and im goin to cut out all soft drinks for this week including diet which i drink all the time so that is a goal for this week...i know it will help so much...anyone else want to make that pledge with me??? its a big one but i know i can do it for one week.
EXCELLENT! Tullosrn! That is fantastic three pounds is a lot in a week! The water thing is hard even though I am a water drinker. I started a few months ago putting the flavor packs in the bottled water and now I am addicted. WW says you need at least three real 8 oz glasses of just water. I am going to shoot for that goal too!
I am a water drinker, too. But, fot some reason it has been tough getting what I am suppose to have. I bought a great big water bottle from walmart. But, that really hasn't helped either. i prefer it ice cold tool
I'm making chicken chilli for dinner, I'll let yo know how it was:)
yeah i love the pour in things too...i fav is fruit punch...it gives you a little something different... im shooting for 3 more lbs this week..or maybe 4 since no coke...ive heard that it does alot

Excellent work! We lost 2 and a half bags of sugar! Our hearts are happier! (We just had a seminar yesterday about why weightloss is so important in treating and preventing HTN and cardiac issues)
PM me with your info if you want to be added to the list!!
Okay... weigh in shows 5lbs lost this past week. I will continue to weigh in on Thursdays and I will post on Monday what the weight loss is.
I usually keep my points to the minimum number of points and use my bonus points for that 1 day I take off. Didn't work out yesterday. I was sore from the weekend workouts and decided to give my body a rest. I will workout today though.
:yeah:
