I start back at work on the 1st of Feb and I am nervous my duty belt will not fit. I know since the surgery and rehab I have put on 30 pounds. I need to take it off my knees are yelling at me and yes cortozone shots take the edge off but for me I need to be in shape for my job and my family I want to be sure I am around to see Abby grow and I want to spend many years with Desd so now is the time before the wedding to be the best I can be for them and yes for me. Started the Biggest loser challenge game for the Wii and so far so good I guess the first step is the hardest

Good Morning healthies.. Last few days ive been easy on myself exercisewise.. When i over exercised the other day, my ankle has been bothering me & my lower back.. Always stretch, stretch, stretch & always listen to cues when your body says ENOUGH already.. Isn't worth it when you are out of commission for a few days healing.. Today, back on track for me ♥ Going to have a super healthy breakfast, then get out for my walk by the lake.. shredded wheat 1/2 c. skim milk 1/2 cup blueberries half a banana raspberry yogurt.. YUM! Day off today, & got some deep cleaning to do around this house - & then i've a list of things i need to do for myself today... which will benefit me on my journey here, it's all about motivation today for me.. Just some fun little things to encourage me on!! Happy Friday! SO happy to see new faces in here committing, & all the shares in here as well.. i'll be in here later to bug ya's all some more, hehe..

When i got my iPhone in October one of the first Apps i added (after Starbucks...lol) was "Calorie Counter" by Arawella Corp. It was free and has some awesome features especially the Food Search where you can search the basic food base, set up your favourites, search by categories, brands, supermarkets and even restaurants and chains. You can even create your own custom food list.
The other features include Activities where you can calculate calories burned; a Diary with Body Tracker - enter your weight and measurements to monitor your journey; and "My Plan" where you can enter your target weight & date and it will calculate how many pounds you will need to lose per week to reach that goal...if you uprade to the purchased subscription (i have not done this yet) you can get a detailed nutrition plan, among other things. It's a whole lot easier than carrying around one of those calorie/carb/fat books and a whole lot easier to use especially since their database is always being updated. |

WW
Joined weight watchers for the I don't know how many time
 BUT I am determined to do this. I think that my fat feeds a negativity that I want to let go of. This protective shield is not protecting me from anything. I made it through the first day despite some stress that would have sent me to a binge-- So on to day 2! Would love to hear from anyone who does WW. Thamca

I have found for me to lose weight - I react well to praise / constructive criticism. The program that works the best for me is http://www.myfooddiary.com. It costs 9 or 10 bucks a month but to me it's very worth it.
over 75,000 foods in their database.. they track sat and trans fats, calcium, a, c,... etc. and at the end of the day you get smiley faces or frowns depending on your levels of that particular nutrient. This encourages you to not only aim for the calorie count - but to do it in a healthy manner so as to reach the smilies for sat fats, sodium, iron, water... etc. Works for me - but we're all built differently. This morning - 12 pounds down total. |

So nice to have new people join the thread....welcome!
 Minor victory this morning....Rooster had no school, so it would have been easy to set the alarm for 7:30 and just get up for work. Instead, I set it for 6:45 and headed off to Curves. I'm finding that if I get it done first thing in the morning, it doesn't get swallowed up by the activities of the day....I don't make excuses....and I feel good about that one thing even if the rest of the day goes to hell in the proverbial handbasket. Official weigh in tomorrow, but today's sneak peek showed that more movement has nudged me off that plateau.

Hello everybody!
Moxie, I did the same weight loss challenge at a previous job and won like $200. I like a good challenge and its even better when you meet that challenge. I loved pizza, tortillas, bread, soda and knew if I was gonna win I had to cut all that out. So I did, also sweets and carbs. That challenge right there was what started me on a healthy journey seeing results and knowing it worked to just eat healthy and make wise choices. Thanks Miss Scarlett, starry, And others who have posted great recipes for us to try! I appreciate that. I stepped on the scale and lost 3 lbs since last week. I have a few lbs I still want to shed. I had lost quite a bit before I moved across country and gained some back over the months but i'm ready to get back on track. I'll be moving in with roomies this weekend and look forward to cooking healthy together and using the complex fitness center. Weekend challenge: Everytime you walk, step it up and make it a brisk walk! Share a healthy snack with us? While grocery shopping the other day I bought some snack bars. One is a strawberry cereal bar that is 90 calories, the other oats & chocolate high fiber bar. I also love apples! These are great for on the run, quick snack or breakfast. Great choices everybody and inspiration. THANKS and keep it up! |

Hey all!
I hit the elliptical again last night. 15 minutes at high intensity. I was sweating hard! I'm doing short bursts of exercise right now because I am trying to get into the habit of it rather than feeling like it's a chore. I have noticed that last night I started to feel kinda jittery around 8pm which is my normal workout time so I'm hoping that means my body is getting into the routine. Feeling good! Today's Menu: Breakfast: spicy v8 Fiber 1 bar cheese wedge Midmorning snack: grapefruit Lunch: Lunch with the girls at a place known for gourmet salads. I'm going to do a salad loaded with greens and grilled chicken and all the veggies. Planning for a vinaigrette dressing. Late afternoon snack: 5 reduced fat Triscuits 1 Laughing Cow wedge Dinner: steamed veggies 1/2 c mashed sweet potato 1 hard boiled egg Next week, Im going to shop and purposely get some different stuff at the supermarket. I've been eating several of the same foods over and over for the last month and know that I'll get food boredom. Planning on doing some tuna salad next week and maybe makng some breakfast sandwiches at home to bring to work.

I have been on track for the rest of the week! It feels good :-) Hoping I can make it through the weekend and lose on my weigh in on Sunday. I haven't been feeling well, so I might skip out on being social this weekend which will help!! (no drinking, haha). I am going to a work meeting at Sizzler tomorrow. I have never been to a Sizzler, but I know I can find something!
Here's to a good weekend!! :-)

Happy Friday all you healthy peeps! It's awesome to see new faces joining us... WELCOME!
Like Medusa, I'm starting to get food menu boredom, so I've been making notes of stuff y'all have been eating, so I can make a grocery shopping list. I've also been going through the WW online recipes, looking for stuff that is quick & easy... and can be saved for lunches, too. Weigh in yesterday... another 2 pounds lost! Yesterday was the first day in awhile, that I kept myself so busy that I never noticed hunger (let's be truthful ~ boredom) pains. I managed to stay 10 points below my daily target, so I am very happy today! Celebrate the small victories, right?! Eeeeeeeeeek, I signed up for belly dancing classes, too! My first class begins February 7th! I have a couple local friends that said they might wanna try it out, too... but is it wrong that this is something I wanna do by myself? I don't know, it's kinda like I feel this my time to branch out from my comfort zones (of the daily grind of family & friends) & try something JUST FOR ME. No matter what, I'm gonna enjoy every minute of learning something I've always admired and get my body moving even more! Well, today for breakfast I had: a fruit & walnut salad from McDonalds (6 ww points, 210 calories) a small sugar free iced vanilla coffee (2 ww points) Lunch: I'm craving a big ol' spinach salad with grilled chicken Dinner: Tilapia broiled in the oven brown rice asparagus and/or corn on the cob Snacks: yogurt Have a great day y'all! |

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Since my appetite has gone whacky, I have been keeping Kind bars in my purse. Today is my bro's wedding, so my diet is off today! Have a great day and keep up the good work! Zimmeh

I was looking up guidelines on body fat percentage (for myself....cuz mine is pretty shocking) and found this article. Not sure how scientific or correct it is....but it's saying that a level of 12% is pretty much essential for health for females. It just sounds really low....

I think it is essential to 'get out of the box' by yourself. I find more freedom when I am doing new things alone, than if I am trying with friends. It is important that we have things "just for me". It has been proven to me, repeatedly, in my life, that I am strongest when I am at my most vulnerable. Belly Dance is fun and a fabulous workout. But more than that, it helped me get into my "beautiful" place. As an overweight woman I could not always see beauty in my movements. And bellydance is truly an amazingly beautiful, graceful and sensual art. Anyway... just ma

I personally appreciate everyone that works so hard to that healthy end and provide such support and feedback to all of us on that path. Kudos to all! Btw, I gained a pound this AM. Have no idea why but tomorrow AM is another day to weigh What matters to me, is that sustained weight loss and that I maintain lean muscle tissue while doing so.
