Healthy Weight Loss

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Rocking,

Here is a link to the OA meetings in your area. I am going to see if they have any in my area and I am going to check one out. The good thing about this program, is that there are no membership dues; which helps me since I cannot afford Weight Watchers. They do have meetings in my area and I will find one that I can attend!!!! Thank you AtLast for mentioning this!

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend! I have no sweets in my house and there won't be any; unless my roommate picks up some then I won't have any.

I cannot believe the reunion is in two weeks! I am super excited and cannot wait to walk around Little Rock and sight see!

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Good Morning. Just popping in today to say I am back on the self-discipline track, starting today. Let the progress resume.

Hello Everyone!

Well done for every healthy step taken.

I've not checked in - in awhile; but I come in and have a read/catch up when I can; each of you has helped to keep me motivated and inspired by sharing your journey. Thank you very much.

I've lost about 15lbs in the past 2 and a half months. I'm averaging a little more than 5lbs a month; it is slow progress but it is progress none the less and I'm proud.

I haven't been fabulous about keeping up with WW-online. I was meticulous in recording everything for the first 6weeks and then over the course of the last month I've grown lazy with it.

I do want to get back on track with WW, because I know it is a very helpful tool for me...when I make myself accountable for everything I eat and I drink - I definitely make better choices.

I have, however, persisted with my couch25k running program. (out of sheer stubbornness and pride)
I've been taking it slowly and repeating runs when I feel I haven't "gotten it" yet. Last week I was absolutely dreading the last run of the week (W5, D3) - 20minutes straight through, no walking interval.
I ran D1 and D2 each two times over because I was procrastinating the 20minute run. And then... I DID IT!
I couldn't believe it. And it wasn't even as difficult as I had anticipated. It was very challenging and I did it. That is an amazing feeling.

Now I need to be more consistent with the running (I'm running every 3 days on average right now); I'd like to be running every other day and doing some other gentler exercise on the off days. Soon, I will transition to a gym membership for the winter months, I'm looking forward to working out in a climate controlled environment, off the pavement and I'm really looking forward to taking some classes (I do well in a structured environment).

So, I've come in here to state my short term goals for the next few months:
Track food/drink on WW more consistently, run more frequently and try to do some gentle strength-building exercise on non-running days.
