I'd like to start posting here. Thursday is my official weigh-in day (I don't know how that really started but that's how I've been doing it) but I can still post with all you fine people on Friday.

I lost exactly 1.0 pound this week, and that's enough to make me happy. :)

I usually weigh-in on Wednesday's but I'll start posting on Fridays. My weight loss is usually slow and easy but that's ok. I lost 1lb this week.

I work out at home using Jillian M.'s DVDs I have various ones that I use for each day of the week. I've stretched out 30-day Shred to 3-months by doing that and I see the results in my inches.

I would love to start Insanity but I know I have a little ways to go before I even try popping that DVD in. I've broken my weight-loss goals into quarters (10lbs each quarter) so I can concentrate on a smaller number while keeping the bigger number in the back of my head.

bad news that it turns out to be a cold for me, urg i woke up this morning feeling blah.

i have to work on an assignment due tomorrow and i have my tai chi, but i don't think i'll get in my other excerize colds kill motivation

Welcome to the new folks - the more the merrier. :)

Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, Yunalee. :( Don't be afraid to take a day off from exercise if you're feeling stuffed up and it's tough to breathe. Sometimes we just need to rest, even if we don't especially want to.

I saw your other thread about asking for a good diet, and I've been mulling it over and thinking if there's any way that I can help. I wonder - are you looking to see how others eat, or are you specifically looking for a regimented diet plan that just tells you what to eat? Either way, I'd advise you to do something that works with how you eat. Others will undoubtedly disagree with this, but I think that, no matter what you're eating, it's better to have your diet work with your appetite and hunger levels as opposed to trying to fit your natural cues into a diet. I don't really eat much during the day because I'm not super hungry, but I eat more at dinner because that's when I'm really hungry. Nope, it's not the way that "they" recommend, but it works for me. Just my 2 cents, though. Let me know if there's anything specific that I can help with. You'll get there.

well i think i did well yesterday, but the only thing i didn't like is i needed an after supper snack, it was only a 100cal mini bag of popcorn and it was enough for me.

i find after doing an evening workout from my tai chi or zumba i get hungry.

i'm just starting to think i'm not gonna hit my 200lb mark by the end of the year, mostly cause i haven't lost any real weight yet.

it says i need to cut back to only eat less than 1200 cals a day, i don't think i can do that, so i bumped it to 210 lbs by the end of the year, which says i can eat around 1700 which i can do hmm...

it's mostly been my eatting thats been setting me back but i'm planing on fixing it this week!

Yunalee: awesome! I'm glad to hear you had a good day the other day. Not sure why, but your post didn't come up as a new one until today, hence my late response. I'm all about the post-workout snack - especially with something like Zumba, where you're burning a ton of calories, you'll need to eat something afterwards. Seems counterintuitive, but it's definitely a good idea. The mini-bag of popcorn sounds perfect - I'll have to check it out. I'm getting a bit burned out on yogurt. ;) I'll post with you tomorrow - here's to good results!

Edgan - glad to hear that your diet is working for you.

Hi,
Gonna jump in and join this weigh in group.I started Fitday on a Monday so that has been the day I was weighing in until now . (Come to think of it Monday weigh ins sucked !! Ha.) I'm 5 weeks into this new life style.
I like yunalee's idea of posting the weight loss/gain at the end.

Hello,
Did you intend on starting a new post with the same name ?
Thought the intent was just to respond to the original started on
Sept 23 rd ?

yes well always start a new thread every friday, and the person who starts just copies the last chart from the last thread

Hey, y'all! Yunalee, congrats on the loss, sticking to it, and eating mindfully. That's what's up! Maybe there's something in the air; I lost about a pound for the first time in... roughly a month, holy moly. Woot!

Welcome to sjd01 & snafuken, and congrats to you 2 as well. :)

Have a great week, everyone.

I'd like to join the Friday weigh in. I'm back to Fit day and trying to focus on a healthy, sustainable weight loss. I think it will help to be accountable to someone other than just me & the scale!

Hey guys. I wish I had a better number to report, I only lost 0.2 pounds :mad:
grrrrr!
I've had other bad weeks, but usually I know when its gonna happen because I know that I was bad/cheating that week. But not this time, that's what makes it so frustrating!
in this case the frustration is making me want to eat everything in sight :eek:
Hopefully I can push thru and next week will be better. This site is definitely a help to me! Thanks guys!

Hi every one. I am new to this site. How do I join the group and post with you on Fridays?

Hi Joyce, and welcome. To join in, just copy the most current list and add your name and weight. That's all there be to it. ;)

Between traveling, birthday dinners and being sick, I'm up 4 pounds today to 113.4 from my low of 109.4 on Sept 19th. I've been trying to get back on track but keep giving up midday and eating everything I can get my hands on. It's so hard to put a stop to the bad eating habits once they come back. I know from past experience that I can easily gain 10 pounds in a month when I stop tracking. I'm disappointed that my natural tendency to binge hasn't gone away after 4 months of vigilant calorie counting. I keep hoping I will reset my brain, but it hasn't happened yet.

Hopefully I'll have it under control again by the time I weigh in on Friday. Congrats to all who are losing!

Hey Binatangmerah, sorry to hear that you're having a rough time of it. The good news is that even when it feels like it's not in your control, you are absolutely in control of your choices and what goes in your mouth. Take lots of deep breaths, and take every decision bite-by-bite if you must. Sometimes just slowing down (mentally & literally) the eating process can help. I wish you much encouragement.
