Weight-Loss N.Years-VDay Challenge

Weight-Loss
Wulsk : I was around your weight when I hit a plateu earlier last year. It took me 3-4 weeks to break through, I hope it will take you a lot less!!!! Just keep on doing what you are doing and it will start coming off again.

Hajni, that's very good and interesting to know. We all read about those plateaus as a normal part of slimming proces but then freak out when we actually experience one. It's always comforting to know you are not the only one.

I hope that everyone is having a slim week! :seeya:

Sorry this was late guys. I was outta town thursday and then yesterday but my laptop died on me again so i am only on the computer we i get a small chance. Anyways. school starts tuesday so I'm hoping that doesn't stop me too much in my weightloss efforts. as I will be in school for 6 hours a night. ugh... :biggrinjester: the things we do to get better jobs.. haha
 
ok so your saying that even though i may gain here next week that i'm still doing good on the Percent? I'm confused.. haha sorry its 10am here and i only got about 4-5 hours of sleep since we got in about 1am and then got up at 3:50 to do our stupid paper route and then i got woke up by my little boy who's currently playing on the other computer until my laptop gets working again..
 
ok so your saying that even though i may gain here next week that i'm still doing good on the Percent?

Yep! And I think you gained your TOM weight the prior week, and then lost it this week - so you may not gain any back next week. And if you do, odds are you'll lose all of it and then some the following week. (Doncha love being a girl :rolleyes: )
 
haha ally.. the only thing i love about being a girl besides all the cute clothes that i will be able to fit into one of these days is the fact that i have a cute little boy that i can show off.. guys can produce kids but they can't say they carried them for 9 months and had them and all you know.. lol my hubby hates that i use that.. lol anyways.. gotta go eat something before i get sick. talk to you soon. hope your day goes well.

Whoa Heather!! Incredible weight loss this week. Way to go!! :party:

Hope everyone does well this week!! :D And I really hope I do better than this past week...GeEz.
 
Bad weekend food-wise. But I'm going to make it up for it today, I'm determined to lose at least 1 lb this week, even if it is THAT week.
 
I was bad this weekend also India :( I have an idea....can those who find the weekends easier than the week tell us what makes it easier for you? Include everything....what occupies your time, exercise, meal preparation....whatever you can think of. Those of us who find the weekdays easier should also share what makes it easier for us in detail. Who knows maybe it will help. I'll be back later to post my "Easy Weekdays" story :D
 
I am right with you girls. I had a terriable weekend. It was my son's birthday. He turned 3 years old. So you know we had tons of Hamburgers and hotdogs plus candy and cake. All in all, I am back on track today and determined to lose two pounds by thursady.. I so can do it..

I dump my kid on her grandparents on the weekend, and go walk by myself (3-6 miles), then I go over to their house and walk again with them (usually another 2 miles). MIL works Saturdays and goes to church all day long on Sundays, so I have plenty of time and kitchen space to cook what I want, which is usually a big piece of lean protein. I'm not a drinker or a partier, so weekends are time I get to spend on myself, doing healthy things.

During the week, I work. If I want to walk, I need to squeeze it in between other things. I tend to go too long between meals, and there's rarely something high-protein and yummy handy for a long-lasting snack. There are tons of junk food at the office, including M&Ms stored in the fruit bin. ;) I can bring my own food, or eat what's there, but we do vegetarian lunches more often than not, and that leaves me long on carbs and short on protein. I often find myself at business meals where I have limited control over my food. I work a lot of hours this time of year, so I get home late - just in time to tuck my kid into bed. MIL has invariably made dinner, which is something high-fat and high-carb, with little or no lean protein. I can either eat that, or wait until everyone else is done eating to make myself something substantial (we eat in the kitchen, and the layout makes it really hard to move around when everyone else is at the table), or wait until later and snack - but if I'm not super careful, I come home ravenous and grouchy, and need food right then.

This part was hillarious :rotflmao:

Thank you so much Allyphoe, your post is actually letting me see some things I can improve.:)

As promised I will write what I do in the week.

First off my foods are really simple. I am doing that eat a zillion small meals a day thing. In the morning I nuke some oatmeal, fry (with cooking spray) some egg whites with tomatoes/mushroom/green peppers and grab a banana. I also pack enough food for the day and eat my last "at work" meal one hour before I leave so that I do not get any fast food on the way home. I buy pre-cooked frozen chicken breasts from a brand called "Eat Well Stay Healthy" I buy whatever variety is lower in sodium. I pack that along with some boiled potatoes or rice and fresh or frozen vegetables. I also drink a heck of a lot of water. When I am home I have some more chicken breast and potatoes and maybe some grapes to avoid chocolate if i am craving sweets.

It is particularly easy for me to do this all week because I can eat as many times as I want to at work. Some people literally eat all day lol. During the week I am in a routine pretty much, so I stay focused. When the weekend comes around however, I feel like :party: and I want to do whatever I see fit and enjoy it to the fullest. This includes eating whatever I feel like eating. BUT now that I read Allyphoe's post, I think that I will cook on the weekends. And maybe try new recipes from different cultures which fit into my new way of eating. That would be an exciting start for me :D

Jellybelly I am with you on the 2 pounds by Thursday bit....WE CAN DO IT!!!
 
Okay, So I went to the Gym this morning. I did the elliptical for 30 min. and the stair stepper for 20 min. It really kicked my butt. Tonight I am going to do my pilates. I am focused..

PinK Clouds~ Thanks for the motivation.. We are sooooo going to lose these two pounds and if not then one :)
 
Yes JellyBelly even if i lose one I will be happy!! I went on the scale to see the damage of the salty foods this weekend :leaving: I am up 2 pounds ufff....I hope that by weigh in I can be at least 273! I really need to focus on the right thing here...and those wild foods on the weekend are not going to improve my quality of life OR get me beneath 200lbs by the end of the year.

:grouphug: Have a good day tomorrow everyone!!
 
My Weekends: Well they are easy for me mostly because I don't have children or alot of commitments on the weekend. Since I started dieting I haven't been drinking or going out. (that really throws me off)

If the weather is nice I make time to take a nice long walk outside. I try to also hit the gym.

I have plenty of time to plan out my meals on the weekend. During the work week I eat more if I'm stressed or pressed for time.

I try to keep busy also. I run alot of errands, go to the movies, clean the house, do laundry, cook.

I also mentally coach myself alot ("ok.. todays my day to really kick butt! No excuses!!...") I make a goal list for the day related to my diet (walk 3 miles, list foods to eat..).

I see weekends as a chance to fix any blunders I had during the week.
