Monday Weigh in
I was a bit worried that by not doing accountability I would fall off the wagon. Posting a weigh in every Monday is my way of being accountable now.
The week went really well, today is my day 107, starting weight was 240, today's weight 199.1. I keep waiting to hit another stall since I hit so many the first 3 months but in the last month I have lost over 12 pounds. I was averaging 8-10 before. Seeing a 1 in front of my weight was wonderful! My BMI is 33.99 (I think) according to the Wii Fit.
For those reading this that want to lose weight, it isn't as hard to start as you think. Set a small goal to exercise and the weight will come off. At 240 I was seriously considering a revision since I was again 100 pounds overweight (5'4"
. I really think this way of eating and exercise is something I can do until I hit goal. After that I am going to still count calories. With an active lifestyle and if I get to 130 pounds I will be able to eat 2200 calories a day and maintain. That sounds like Heaven LOL!
Good luck, I hope someone joins me on this thread or I won't post next Monday....

Even if no one joins you...please continue to post...you may inspire someone (me maybe) to join you one day....and seeing you doing it and making it seem possible is fantastic. You need to post some pre-100 day challeng pictures and some current pictures!

I will join you! Great job on hitting 199! I am so happy and proud!
Unfortunately this is not a good week for me weight-wise. AF is here for a visit, and I feel like a big old water balloon. Also, I have had 2 bad days calorie-wise. I suppose I can blame my hubby, though, since he did give me permission to order the pizza - LOL. I had just been debating it for weeks - literally, so I went for it to get it out of my system. So in the course of two days, I ate a large cheese pizza and an order of breadtsicks. Well, now I am done and back on the wagon.
My weight this morning is 166.8; I am hoping that goes down several pounds by the end of this week since it is about a 4 pound increase from last week. My goal is still to get to 155 by July 3rd, but I'll take any loss I can get, I guess.
Until next week....

I ate pizza this week too! It was the first time in months and I realized after that the lean pocket whole wheat supreme pizza is just as good....well maybe not just as good but good enough.
I am glad you are back on the wagon, time is going by so fast and I am sure you will get to your goal by the time he comes home.

Wow. Where you started is exactly where I am. I am at 240 and want to get down to at least 193 before I think about getting pregnant. Really, my ultimate goal is to get to 150 but it seems so impossible that I don't even let myself go there. Anyway, what exercise are you doing and how are you eating? Can you give me more info? I recently bought Beck's diet solution workbook-6 weeks to think like a thin person or something like that. I know my problem is mental. Like after I ate breakfast I was physically satisfied, but I wanted something chocolate. I tried to ignore it, distract myself, everything, but before long I had a cookie in my hand. One cookie is not the end of the world, but I know this will not be the only empty calorie item of the day. How do you handle cravings? I'm so glad you posted this. I want to be accountable but have no desire to post my food intake for the world to see. I would post my weight though.
Edited to add: I am probably going to join a gym soon. The heat makes exercise impossible here in the summer. And there is a gym that is only $9/month, so I can afford that. I will probably start with treadmill and stuff. Is most of your exercise on the Wii?

It is not impossible! I started this on February 9th and it has not even been 4 months yet. If you start tomorrow by Sophies 1st birthday you can be down 60 or 70 pounds.
If you read my posting history you will see exactly what I have eaten and what exercise I did. I walk 2.25 miles a day. It takes about 32 minutes and I walk 4mph now.
I eat a lot of chocolate things. Fiber bars, Fiber One pop tarts. I don't deny myself anything but I count my calories and I don't go over.
The other day my blood sugar tanked and I ate a cookie (this ties in to you mentioning cookies). So I ate this really good cookie came home and discoverd it had 220 calories in it and I was starving. That is how I control things. I don't waste my calories on foods that are not going to make me feel full. For the same calories I could have eaten a turkey sandwich loaded with tomato and lettuce with dijon on lite bread. Or I could have eaten a lean pocket pizza or something filling. I am not saying I will never eat a cookie again but I get satisfied with other foods now. I do take a bite of the kids cookies once in awhile.
Good luck!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!
