It's Weigh Day 1~7~2008

Hello all, I hope that you had a great weekend. Happy New Year once again to all of you I've decided to give my self a 90 challenge (79 days left) at the gym to kick it up a notch. I really want to get to 135, I am not sure if that is possible. But ... I am going to give it a try and see where I wind up after 90 days. My Body seems comfortable at 140 - It does go up during the week sometimes (I weigh daily) but I *MAKE SURE* by Monday it says 140 ( I am a bit psycho with it! ) I did weigh 139 for 1 week and really loved seeing 1"3"9 on my scale ... since then its been on my mind and I am on a mission!!! Enough of me blabbering - here we go ... here are my stats ... (I FEEL LIKE A BROKEN RECORD ... LOL) Starting weight 250.5 Last week = 140 This week = 140 Loss this week = 0 Total loss = 110.5 Current BMI = 22.6 Be Determined!

Well after a couple weeks from hell I am feeling so much better yesterday was the first day I have'nt had a headache in 2 weeks. The scale was not my friend this week but since yesterday was the only day I worked out this week I am not to surprised. So I'm back swimming this week 3 times and am determined to do a toning DVD 3 other days this week. My challenge this week is a all day meeting tomorrow so food is unknown. I'm bringing extra water and some snacks just in case. Starting weight 298.5 Last week = 156.5 This week = 158.5 Gain this week = 2.0 Total loss = 140.0 Current BMI = 29.0 I'm going to track my food on fitday for the week just to see where I'm at I don't typically count calories. Everyone have a fabulous week. Deb

Hi Deb, Fitday is great - You can really SEE "where you are at" It keeps me 'on track' when I log my intake I eat much better - plus I am *aware* - It sounds like you have a good plan for your UNKNOWN meeting! I hate when you don't know. I do bad in those situations. I AM SURE YOUR 2 POUNDS WILL BE GONE soon enough with fitday and your exercise plan, have a great week Deb! Britt

Hey Britt - Good luck with your challenge. I am not back into my normal exercise routine yet just walking right now. I'm ready to get back but I don't want to do any damage to my new tummy! True confession time. I have maintained weight wise but I do not feel comfortable about some of the things I have been eating. Little nibbles and grazing are not healthy habits. So this week I am focused on eating purposefully. Plan my food and eat my plan. Start: 358 Current: 174 Total loss: 184

Hey Trudy~ Congrats on that new FLAT tummy!!! I was horrible with eating / grazing during the holidays!!! I love that you are "focused on eating purposefully!" A TRUE STATEMENT - FOOD = FUEL period! have a great week, Britt

Good Luck on your challenge Britt... I am sure you will do just fine... If your body is where it needs to be then you will stay there, but if you can lose more, then I am sure you will.. You are one of the strongest women I know.... You go girl.. if anyone can do it, you can!!! Me??? I am still sick... going on 10 days now... I did go to the ER because I have blood in my stool now (sorry if TMI), Turns out I have a bacterial infection and need antibiotics... They called in a script on Sat., but the pharmacy didn't have it it, so I have to wait until this evening to get it... I have been so miserable with this... but on the up side of it, I have lost weight... LOL... Here are my stats..... Starting weight = 309 Last week = 182 This week = 176 This wees loss = 6 Total loss = 133 Hope everyone had a great New Years and they have a wonderful start to 2008!!!! HUGS, Shawn M.

SHAWN - 6 POUNDS! WOW We know that isn't the BEST way to lose it (but take it and run girl - run!) I hope you get that medication into your system soon. Thanks for the encouragment - I really *HOPE* to get there! We'll see .... Keep us posted - I hope you are feeling better VERY Soon! hugs, Britt 6 pounds wow!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been mia but an out of commission computer at home along with an extended vacation/holiday from work has left me on my own. I have missed you guys and really have some posts to catch up on. My extended holiday took their toll on my weight loss. Being on my own with none of my Nov 06 buddies for support didn't help matters any either. The good news is that my scale hasn't moved. I am still showing the same number as before the holidays. The bad news is that the scale hasn't moved. LOL 214 lbs My doctor has finally released me to exercise! That darn accident in October robbed me of 2 full months of gym time. I am going to set my goal for 3 days of gym time and 3 days of walking/cardio at home. I have 2 personal training sessions scheduled for this week, thurs and Sat. Yall wish me luck. I have a feeling my pt is going to KILL me! Oh well, no pain no gain? Right?!! Have a great week! I will only be able to steal moments with you from work when not busy. HA! Valorie

Glad to see your back I've missed you. You'll get back on track again. We all had some issues during the holidays, I know I'm having a really hard time getting back into the swing of things having worked 3 days in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Deb

Valorie, We missed you! Glad you are back!!! Good news that you didn't gain - I am glad the holidays are over - all the temptations killed me! That is wondeful that you have been released to exercise! Your trainer will probably make you feel EVERY muscle that has been RELAXING! GOOD LUCK! hugs, Britt
