It is great that we are all here.

I hope that everyone is doing well.

Well I actually had good days on both Saturday and Sunday. I am not sure how much Saturday counts but I will itemise Saturday as we are going away next weekend and I anticipate having some less good days later in the week.

2.5 litres of water is more than sufficient water for my weight. Rounding up from my start weight we get 142 pounds which translates to 71 fluid ounces.
71 * 29.5735 = 2099.72ml this is 2.1 litres. I cannot be bothered to measure so I have 2.5 litres of water every day.

Just noticed that when I lose some more weight and get down to 135 pounds - I can cut my water consumption down to 2 litres and still be healthy :hurray: That is not going to happen this week - but hopefully will be quite soon!


Saturday: 24/05/08

At least 3 hours exercise out walking.
Pedometer readings at end of day:
---Steps = 30,761
---Distance = 11.89 miles
My Food / Drink:
2.5 litres of cold water
some diet cola
3 weetabix, sweetener, 350 ml skimmed milk
1 large handful honey Shreddies
Chicken breast, fry light to stir fry, 1 courgette, 1.5 small onions, ½ red pepper, ½ green pepper, ½ yellow pepper, pasta sauce
1 banana
1 pear
1 pear
1 apple
1 peach
4 plums

Woohoo, we're all here! I wanna start training today for a 10km race I want to do in October. Got a few training programs I'm deciding between, then I'll post it over here, is that alright??

Hi everyone... my name's Anke, I'm 20, I'm a technical writer and I live in South Africa.
 
Hi Anke

I'm Margaret and I am 48 years old and live in England. I worked for many years in computing but am currently theoretically a housewife. For the past 15 months I have done comparitively little housework as I have turned my weight loss project into effectively a full time job. After over twenty years of extreme morbid obesity I suddenly decided to do whatever it took to sort it out.

Hope you had a great birthday.
 
I think I'm going to go on a mission to read up on everyone here's diary. I've also got one by the way... if ur interested! I'm supposed to drink:

195.8/2= 97.9 ounces

multiply by 30 for mls = 2.9 litres of water to drink

Think I can manage that!
 
Morning team! How was everyone's first day?

I did good with the 30 min of exercise, but my food intake was too little.

I got my water in, all 102 oz. - peed all day! :ack2: And then as far as the food for the day (it will sound strange..lol)...

3 slices of American Cheese
3 Hard Sourdough Pretzels
6 Baby Gerkins (no sugar added)

Went to a friend's house for dinner - had:

Bruschetta Appetizer (3 pieces) - consists of tomato, onion, garlic and provolone cheese, all piled on a little slice of bruschetta - they are about 3 inches in size.

Veggie Sandwich (don't know the technical term for it - but it was AWESOME!)

The vegetables on it were eggplant, red peppers, zucchini, onion, tomato. Then there was homemade pesto all piled on Frescatta bread. It was delish!

Now, the part where I didn't do well was the drinking. I'm not usually a beer drinker. Hate it actually. But, last night - my girlfriend had Corona w/Lime and I thought "well, that does sound nice after a hectic week". Well, one turned into 8 and let's just say I was loopy! :beerchug:

I don't even want to think of how many calories I consumed - so I'm very disappointed in that aspect. However, its not an every day thing - and won't be happening again any time soon!


 
Dont worry Lori - little slip-ups like that happen to us all. I normally exercise firm control over my food - but I know that next weekend I will have a couple of days when I will eat things that I would never normally eat.

When you are invited to eat at someone else's house you have the choice of eating whatever you are given and looking happy or turning into the guest from Hell.

If you enjoy it - count it as a bonus. We may want to lose weight - but we dont want to lose our friends. It is not like we do it all the time.

It certainly sounds like you had an enjoyable night out.
 
Yeah, I try to relax about having drinks on occasions. And when I do want to drink, I don't limit it, I go according to how I feel. It has been fine thus far!

I have drank 3 750ml bottles, so that's 2 litres. Busy on my fourth and then I'll drink a few more glasses at home this evening.

Brought a tuna, lettuce, onion, cucumber and tomato salad for lunch... plus 2 apples (I forgot the crackers, so gonna eat some cereal I have at work too... like one portion).

Today I am staring to train for my 10km race in October.

I am doing the Couch to 5k plan first, so today will be walking/ jogging and tomorrow strength training.

I am going to aim for 3x 20-30min walk/jog/runs per week, and 2x full body toning and resistance training.

On top of this I have 2 hour long belly dance classes a week (those are the days I will strength train).

I feel a bit ambitious in attempting this new routine, but I am giving it my all and waiting eagerly for results.

I am part of a weight loss club in South Africa called Weigh-Less. I have a weekly weigh-in on Tuesday nights. I have listed my current weight as what it was last Tuesday. For this Friday's weigh-in for this challenge, I'll use Tuesday's numbers.

Here's hoping my birthday weekend was not too rough on the waistline. If I remain the same I will be satisfied. A loss would be a bonus, and a gain would be a motivator!
 
My yesterday was nothing to write home about. I told myself going into this weekend that I would not be too worried about food &/or exercise since it is a holiday.

Played golf yesterday...that count as exercise?:)
Did yard work and was stripping an old dresser to refinish for my unborn child.:D

Really did not write down food or water intake but trust me- yesterday was not one of my best.
Today this begins...

WTG with the running Anke. I have committed to a half marathon in September.. Unfortunately I am recoveing from a lingering groin injury and have not been able to run in a week or so.
All I can say is take it slow!.
 
So I'm going to post one reply each day with all my food in. I will edit it as the day goes on. This is it.

BREAKFAST - 8:00am

2 portions healthy muesli
1 cup 2% low fat milk

SNACK - 11:00am

1 apple

LUNCH - 14:00

2 portions tuna (shredded)

Hi Guys - here to post my progress for the day! (Ankebuzz - I may steal your idea and put a post up here at the beginning of the day and then just come back and edit it with what I ate. - I was sitting here trying to remember what I've eaten all day and it makes it easier if I keep track as I go along)

Anyways...

2 slices 100% whole wheat toast w/peanut butter
Rice Krispie Treat - 100 calories
3 harddough Pretzels
2 slices American Cheese
3 baby gherkins sweetened w/Splenda
1 small piece of Angel Food Cake

Chicken Parmigan w/Spaghetti (didn't like this so much)

Finishing the last of my water now - got 50 min of walking with the dogs in today! :)

Hope you're all doing well! Is anyone floating yet from all the water?

 
Hehehe, yep the water's a lot! Well, today I officially go for my weigh in with my group. Hopefully I lost over my birthday weekend, so I'll let you know how it went!

Tuesday

BREAKFAST

Muesli and low fat milk

SNACK

1 apple

Tomatoes (salad)

SNACK

1 apple
