My progress so far
Hi everyone!!
Fluff I did my tricker but I can't paste it. I copy the image but I can paste it. What I'm doing wrong?
Well, I went to my sister's birthday yesterday. I did not eat cake. I ate a piece of meat and salad.
I did not went to the gym because I had to go to the party. Today I'm going to the gym and start the new routine (28 days routine). I had a coffee and a cheese sandwich (fat free cheese without butter in the george forman) for breakfast. I have grapes for my snack at 10am and a HChoice for lunch. I will have a yougurt for second snack at 2:30pm. This is a hard week for me because I have to prove to myself that I can loose at least 1 pound.
As I wrote before I can't paste my weight tricker. So I will write it down.
Dec. 23 - 199 pounds
January 1st - 196 pounds
January 7 - 192 pounds
January 15 - 190 pounds
January 22 - 190 pounds
This is my progress so far. I can't wait to see the Biggest Losser Tomorrow!!!

Hmmmm.....did you copy the image or the code? At the bottom of the screen after you finish making the ticker there are these codes (look like a bunch of gobblygunk to me tho). One is a bb code....try copying that code and then pasting it into your signature. Hope that helps. I am a bit of a computer dummy, so I am not sure I am explaining well enough.
This may sound dumb, but how do you make a cheese sandwich on the Foreman grill? I just got one for Christmas, but so far all I have done is cook hamburger patties and a few chicken breasts.
Your eating sounds great. Good luck at the gym! Keep up the good work!

Hi, Chimi you are doing great! Keep up the good work!
you are doing great! Keep up the good work! A little bit of everything
Hi everyone!!! I was lost for a couple of days. Lost from the forum not from the diet . I was busy at work and dealing with a lot of stuff at the same time but, who does'nt???
At the present I'm in a high point of my commitment. My healthy eating habbits are getting stronger everyday. I ate HC for luch and dinner and very low fat and calories breakfast. I'm having like 3 snacks during the day that can be fruits or yougurt. I'm still fighting to remember to drink water. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget to drink for 3 or 4 hours. My goal is to remember to drink a glass of 7oz every hour. Sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't.
I did not ate cake on a friends birthday yesterday and I am drinking one glass of Diet Coke per day ( I used to have 4 or 5 glasses of Diet Coke daily ).
Regarding my workout I did cardio and streght routine on tuesday and wednesday. I force myself to do it but I did it. I learned that when you are not in the mood to workout once you start it you feel good. So everytime I am not in the mood I will force myself. You have to rest when you are tired not when you are not in the mood!!!
You see, loosing weight is a learning experience. You keep learning through the process and trying new things that works better for your body. The best thing is that the first month is over. I started the second month on January 24.
The best thing of all is that I have this space where I can write what ever I feel like. Even if I feel ridiculous or that I'm boring all the members of the forum. But at least I am writing to myself and later I will remember all the things done to succeed. That will help me to not going back never.

Hi, I am kind of new here so I hope you dont mind me poping in your diary. I started reading and couldnt beleive how similar your situation with your hubby was to mine. It was like you were describing me. My husband also offers no supports and either laughs when i talk of me sticking to the diet or adds unhelpful comments about me failing anyway. Any way isnt it great that a place like this exsist. And you are doing so well despite the lack of support at home. You should be very proud, it really help motivates me.
Not geting caught up in any slips but to keep going no mater what. My new saying is tomorow in a new day (lol not exactly original). But as long as we keep getting up with the attitude to keep at it we will get there in the end. And wont our husbands have some yolk on their faces, when we parade past them all slim and wonderful lol. (the thought of that helps me keep going as well)

Chimi, you have the most awesome attitude.! Reading your last journal entry was just what I needed to keep me movitvated today.
I am also a big Diet Coke drinker, only I was drinking more than you. I was probably drinking like 8 or 9 a day! I dont drink coffee, so that was my excuse. I needed my caffine! These past few days I have been on a mission to drink more water. I have been doing pretty well which is the reason I m constantly heading to the ladies room. lol. I was surprised to find that now that I am drinking all this water, I am not drinking nearly as many Diet Cokes. Yesterday I only had 3. Thats a big deal for me.
I think you are exactly right about trying new things until you find the diet that works best for your body. It has taken me three weeks to figure out what foods I can eat and be satisfied with, and which ones just leave me hungry again in an hour. Cravings has been my greatest obstacle. Or maybe its willpower to resist cravings. At any rate, I am hanging in there. And your right, this is an awesome place to come to!
Keep up the good work and great attitude, Chimi!!!

Yyyeeeeaaaahhhh Chimi!!!! You are doing so awesome!! You are absolutely amazing!
You are so right on about how we have to make ourselves get up and excercise. And how we feel so great afterwards. I so didn't want to get up and go for a bike ride this morning, being chilly and Sunday and all. But I did. I just started to get dressed and the rest (including the Hubby) just sort of followed. We ended up going for the longest bike ride of our lives so far (75 min!) And felt great and motivated the rest of the day.
Keep up the good work! You are going to do this!!! I am so happy for you
Maew

Weekends are the hardest part !!!!
Hi everyone!!!
It's been a couple of days without writting in my journal. Thanks for your replies. I am doing great!!! The only thing I might confess is that I mantain a routine all week and I cheat on weekends. I mean that I stick to my diet and workout on the week and on weekends if I go to a party I have 2 or 3 beers and I had a regular coke and rice and pasta. I don't think the portions were big but I think it will affect this week progress.
The good thing is that here I am again this week. I had not weight myself since last week. I am not planning to weight myself this week. I will continue doing my efforts and writting in my journal and maybe I will weight myself next week. I don't want to dissapoint myself again.
The best thing is that I am in the mood and I already started buying new clothes. I was X-Large and on Friday I had a Large black top. It was so cute!!!! So I will go step by step and keep doing everything I can (at least in week days) to continue my progress. I will try to stay in track this weekend. If I do it I will dropp the pounds faster. It is the only thing missing !!!
Well , keep writting. At least I am very honest about what I thing is holding me to progress more. Write your comments, I always love to receive your replies!!!
hugs, chimi

Hi Chimi I wouldn't beat yourself up over your weekends. Yes, if you stuck to your routine you would lose faster, but if you don't have a day to cheat you may just go insane! LOL Maybe pick one day of the weekend to "cheat" instead of both... That way, you can still let loose on the weekends and you stick to your routine, too You don't always have to weigh yourself to discover your progress. Congrats on a smaller size Isn't that fun!?!?!! I love it when that happens! Keep up the good work, you're doing great!

Hi there, Thanks for the post in my journal it was great to hear from you. I also find the weekend extreamly hard. My husband is at work all week (he works from 3.00-12pm) so I dont normaly have to worry about his meals for dinner which means i can eat healthy but he doest like any of those foods so it does create a chalenge. I also think there is a bit of a mind set about weekends how they are our time to relax and unwind treat our selves a bit, which quite often translates into food. I have allowed my self one day of the weekend to be a bit looser with my foods, then try to be on track for the rest. Try and treat my self in other ways. An outing with the kids or better yet one with out lol. "Me time" Whats that you may say, but it works great for focusing your self and keeping your self on track.
You sound like your doing great work and doing well. Even if you only maintain on week days thats better then nothing at all and you will still lose weight. Its all about what works best for you and what give you the best out come. Keep it up your doing great.

Hey Chimi! Congrats on the smaller clothing size. I know how good that feels to wear something smaller. I cannot wait until I get to the next size smaller in jeans. I wear a 16 now, and they are finally starting to feel a bit looser. But I am not a 14 yet either. I cant wait though until I can buy a size 14 pair of jeans because mine have become too big!
Weekends are so so hard. I am like you. I can be sooo good during the week. Its the weeknds that I really struggle with. I have had that disappointment of watching the progress I made during the week completely vanish come Monday morning. It sucks.
I now let myself cheat on Saturday night for dinner. We usually go out to eat, somewhere cheap. I try to stay reasonable, but I dont limit myself to just a salad or something. I try to order something I have just been craving. I find it really helps me the rest of the week. It gives me something to look forward to as well.
Keep up the great work! Keep writing in your journal. It is great to hear how you are doing!!

I was loosing my focus, but I'm back with more power!
Hi everyone!!!! I'ts been a while!!! I was busy all these days at work. Here is my new status. Well , we had like 3 birthdays this week at the office and a 3 day meeting with food (a lot ) all day for the guests and off course for the office staff. This week was the hardest for me. I did not excersise not even one day, I ate more than usual even desserst (like 4 this week) and had regular Pepsi!!!! So this week is officially the desaster week in chimi's weight loss Journal. I was so embarassed that I did not wrote this week.
Now that the confession is there for my personal humiliation I have to celebrate that:
I realized that I still have the desire to continue with the weight loss activities. So, this week I have a new challenge. I'm traveling to New York for a Valentines romantic weekend. That means I will go to restaurants and I will have again the food temptation. I'm leaving on thursday and we will stay there until Sunday. My plan is to workout today, sunday, monday and tuesday and mantain the Healthy Choices meals and water. By thursday I know that we will go to some restaurants but I will walk a lot. So I will drink a lot of water, Diet Coke and try to make better choices in restaurants. Also I know there is a lot of delis where I can find low fat yougurts and fruits. My goal is to loose 2 pounds this week and in the worst case don't gain not even one pound. After my travel I promise to come back with more power!!!!
I will keep writting to keep my motivation. Thanks to everyone for the replys. I swear if I open my journal and did not find not even a reply my hopes and motivation end automatically. Your writtings mantain me focus and thinking that I will loose weight!!!! Remember 30 of March is the date !!! I have to start my summer with 20 or 30 pounds less. I can do this!!!!
Cyber hugs to everyone, chimi

- I did not gain weight, not even a pound!!
- I ate Healthy Choices meals for dinner the days that I cheat at luch.
- I drank lots of water
- I bought a 13 jean, wohoooo!!!
- The gym at my neighborhood (it's free for residents) have a new bike and a new weight machine.
- I was thinking all week that I was eating. That means I create a habbit and now it is difficult to eat without feeling guilty. It never happend to me before. I used to eat and keep going.
- And the most important thing, when I open the forum page today and read all your replies I knew I am going to keep my effort thru my goal. I ate but, this is me again trying harder to do it better this week.

You are definitely going to do this!! I have no doubt!
Dont fret last week too much. We all have weeks like that. And it sounds like you tried to compensate for the deserts with good dinner choices, so it wasn't really that disasterous. Besides, you didnt even gain a pound! Woohoo!
Your trip to New York sounds like sooo much fun! I hope you have a wonderful time. I think its great you have already thought ahead to how you are going to plan staying on your diet. I think it will really help you stick with it when you get there. I have heard great things about those NY deli's too. Yum.
Keep up the great work! Summer is coming. It will be here before we know it. I am hoping to lose another 10 - 15 pounds before summer. We will encourage each other until we both reach our goals!! Congrats on the 13 jeans! Have a great weekend!
