Here we go.. again :)

Hey guys.. remember me? Well it’s taken me a few weeks to be able to get back in the swing of things, but I am totally motivated (as of right now) I’m not going to post a weight loss/gain because I just started for real last Monday and I won’t be weighing myself till Monday. I too gained like 6 pounds over the holidays and I can feel it!.. With being able to eat desserts and stuff I went way overboard.. I finally figured out my problem I can’t eat in moderation.. if there is like 5 brownies in front of me I will eat 4.. it sucks.. but since Monday I’ve been doing really great.. eating healthy and I have even gone to the gym everyday so far!.. I can totally notice a difference in how I feel and I like it SO much better.. I hope everyone is doing great!.. My new motto is “One day at a time!” When I look at it that way instead of how much weight I have to go I get overwhelmed and it never lasts!.. So everyone just remember.. One day at a time.. and if you slip up (which you will do sometime) just start fresh right after or even the next day.. Good Luck this week! -Kristi

Weigh-in #1??

Should we start over?

So over the holidays I gained a few cupcakes:( My cousin, my sister and I went off our no candy/dessert bet because it was too hard. I had too many neighbors bring me treats and I couldn't even try them, so we took a break. I have to admit it was kind of nice being able to eat some of that stuff again, but I did get sick of it pretty quickly! Well too my surprise those few pounds that I gained over the holidays came off pretty quick after we went back on our bet on January 1st. So I was very excited! Good Luck everyone!

A favor...

Hi everyone! Well I weighed in on Tuesday, and have gained 6.4 cupcakes over the holidays. Blah! But the good news is that I'm feeling good, and today is my third day back on plan. I'm excited to weigh in next week, and hoping my lbs just fall off again. Thanks for all the motivating posts! It would be great however, if I knew who posted them. :) Since we all post from the same sign in, it doesn't tell you who posted. Please sign your name when you post, so I can get to know you better. Thanks so much!

Resolutions...

I don't know about you but I'm having a hard time motivating myself to start being disciplined again. I know I need to or I will just add more weight to take off. I really don't want to have a fat summer again. In the winter we can hide behind our layers of clothing but in the summer it is a different story. So, right now this is my plan... My old tired treadmill broke and I have ordered a new one. I have been dying without one because I use it a lot (the only area I am disciplined in). So I am in waiting mode... My plan is to eat whatever I want, within reason, until my new treadmill is delivered and then I will have all the unhealthy eating (and all my cravings) out of my system and I WILL BE MOTIVATED TO BEGIN MY NEW HEALTHY EATING AND WORKING OUT PLAN. I love the Weight Watcher notebook Mindy made me and I'm going to use that to keep track of everything I eat and what I do for exercise. I'm going to do WW but I'm going to allow myself more points per day so I won't be so hungry for the first few weeks. I won't lose as fast but that's okay. If I start soon I will still have 5 months to lose weight before summer. My goal will be 10 lbs for now. Is anyone else with me??

Hello, is anyone out there?

It's time for a fresh start! I know I am a little late of January first, but it's been busy! Although I did weigh myself on January first. I am going to wipe out everyone's goals. So if you want to start back up with me, then leave a comment, or send an email, or go ahead and add your new goal (if you have the login info)! I am going to start with a smaller goal this time and hopefully add to it later! I will start with 10 cupcakes! I hope to see the rest of you on here and hopefully some new people!

So, What's the skinny?

Hi everyone! Well the end of the year is upon us, and I wanted to find out if we are going to continue in the new year? I don't know about you girls,but the last 4-5 weeks have been rough for me and I have fallen off the wagon. In fact, I think the wagon has run me over a couple of times! Anyway... my plan is to crawl out from underneath the wagon, and get going again in January. What about the rest of you? None of us have really been posting much lately, but I'm really hoping that we can all start again fresh in January and continue to be a support to each other. This battle of loosing weight is such a... well a battle. Haha! What makes it just a little more bearable is knowing that your not alone. What do you say girls? Are we going to renew our dedication, desire, and efforts in the new year? Let me know!

Weigh-In #12

Well I did go walking a few times last week, knowing that I would have a free day on Halloween and eat a TON of candy! It was yummy, but I ate too much and it shows. I didn't lose anything, I guess I'm glad I didn't gain anything either! Well here goes another week! Don't forget to post your results ladies!

Here we go.. again...

Okay I haven’t posted for a while because I have been doing HORRIBLE! I didn’t want to post how much I’ve gained.. but now you all know J So I gained 4 lbs, which I’m actually okay with because I haven’t gained back ALL that I have lost I’m still down 9 from when I started. I just hate how I feel when I’m not working out or eating healty so I’m gonna give it a try yet again!.. This time it HAS to be for real.. 5 of the girls I work with are doing a contest.. we are going to do it a little at a time so the first increment is 2 months so Dec. 30 is the final day… We had to buy in with a dollar and we have a jar, so if you lose you don’t have to put anything in, if you stay the same you have to put a dollar in and if you gain anything you have to put 2.00$ per pound (ouch!) So we have that going for us and since we have tried contests before and failed, we also are doing another little catch. We all took before pictures and we sealed them up in an envelope. We each have a personal goal.. if we meet the goal we are safe, however if we don’t meet the goal.. the confidential before pictures are going to be passed around. To make sure that there is a follow through we gave the pictures to another person that is not participating. So therefore I HAVE to make it this time because I don’t want my nasty bod being passed around! Anyway enough of a novel.. good job everyone! I’m glad everyone else has been doing so great! Have a good week!

New Goal!!

So I have set a new goal for myself. I have officially lost 16 cupcakes since starting weight watchers. My goal is to loose 24 more cupcakes by Jan 3rd. That only gives me 10 weeks and is a bit of a stretch, but I'm excited and up for the challenge. Thanks to every one for posting on here and being such a support!

Weigh-In #11

Here we are again, another weigh-in. I didn't loose anything this week, which to tell you the truth I'm just glad I didn't gain anything. Last week was my birthday we, so between going out to dinner and having dessert didn't help much. And this week with Halloween doesn't help much either, but I am still going to try! I hope all is going well!

Weigh-In #10

Well I'm glad that I am still losing weight but it's coming off very slowly which isn't that bad, but if I'm only losing 1 cupcake a week it's going to be another 2 months before I meet my goal! That's just too long, I need to start adding some exercise, I just have a hard time getting motivated. Does anyone have any ideas? Or what do you do to get motivated?

Weigh-in #9

How is everyone doing? Sorry I'm posting late, I kept forgetting. (You girls can post too if I forget)! Well the cold weather is coming along with the holidays. This is always the hardest time of year because I love to have comfort food! I bought some weight watcher soups and most of them are only 1 point, some 0 points! I've only tried one so far, and it's not too bad. I just had 1 piece of wheat bread toasted, a little bit of butter and garlic salt with the soup and it was way good! I hope all is well!

GET RE-MOTIVATED!

I haven't done very good lately, especially with going on a cruise. I ate so much on the cruise, desserts and all and our dinners on the ship were at 8:15! So I was very worried and could tell I had gained some. At least I gained only 2 pounds, I guess it could have been worse. So now we're back and I am ready to get with it again. I'm happy to be home now so I can back to my exercise routine and not have all those tempting breads and desserts tempting me.

For me, it helps to think positive thoughts about eating healthy and visualizing how good it will feel when I get to go out and buy some smaller sized clothing or fit into things I haven't been able to wear for a while. I try to look at high calorie or high fat food as poison and evil and bad for my body. I wish everyone good luck this week! Peggy

Weigh-in #8

Hi Everyone! I'm back from my cruise! I was so scared to weigh myself this morning! I did enjoy myself on the cruise and ate a lot of food (but probably not as much as I normally would have). The food was delicious! I was more active than I normally am and Mexico was HOT! Just standing out in the shade made you sweaty! But I had a blast and I'm glad to be home. So I was surprised and very happy this morning when I weighed myself and only gained 1 cupcake! Now it's time to get back in gear and lose those cupcakes!!
