5 miles is amazing! My goal is to make it to 2. I know I can do 1 but pushing myself to walk 2 without stopping feels scary. Gonna give it a go with all of this good inspiration!

Tiger - You need to give yourself a hug and a huge pat on the back for getting back into the routine of walking and taking better care of you! Good progress!

Good Morning Folks,

Well it was my weigh-in day and I lost 1.6 lbs....Woo hoo!

Total so far 36.4 weight loss....

I still have about 30 more to go!

Weighed in this morning, and I have 1 pound to go until I reach my 1st personal goal.
Im having my oatmeal now, and my pre workout drink, and it off to the gym in a bit.

I have not lost one ounce this week but nor have I gained.

Given my current state of mind; I'll take it.

Congrats to all on your own journey through the minefield of healthy eating.

Regards,

My weigh-in is tomorrow and I'm kinda excited because I know I lost the 2 pounds I gained last week and might have lost another 1/2 -1 lb or so.

Just got back from the Farmer's Market and some yard sales. The yard sales sucked - It has rained off and on for several days so the only folks out were people that wanted $8 for used sweatshirts.

Farmers market yielded peppers and onions, yellow squash, jalapenos, plums, and a few peaches.

Congratulations on the accomplishments this week. And thank you for sharing the good news on today's weigh-ins and your ability to maintain. As I was reminded in this thread, not gaining is also good thing!

And thank you for the encouragement and support.

Someone mentioned those Quaker Oats rice snacks in here, didn't they? I finally tried them and they are SO good. I'm not a sweets-person, I can easily do without dessert or chocolate or ice cream or sweet drinks; but salty & crunchy is my weakness. These snacks are really good substitutes for chips or pretzels etc.

I was feeling pretty guilty at the beginning of the week because I had a 2oz gain. I know 2oz is tiny, and under normal circumstances I'd not have batted an eyelash.......but I had exercised really hard last week and the reason I didn't have a loss was that I went to a party with copious amounts of champagne (my achilles heel

) and I undid all of my hard work the week before. Guilt really motivated my choices this week. I've been attempting to be very self-disciplined (a major task in and of itself). I've made good food choices all week and prepared most of my meals.

And I completed Week2-Day3 of the "couch to 5k" program! I had to do a bit of remedial run/walking at the beginning of the week after my hiatus last weekend. I feel great about what I've accomplished -- but I'm really worried about the next step - next week the running intervals leap from 90sec to 3min.

I'm trying really hard not to be self-defeatist, and think positively. But my god, this is hard!

I'm starting to look forward to the mid-to-late Autumn when I switch to exercising at the YMCA again; and I can get back in to a few classes. I feel like, if nothing else, this interval training is improving my endurance and lung capacity.
