JillyBeanz Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I can honestly say for one week I have stuck to my lifestyle modification exercise and not eat too much programme and STAYED THE SAME!!!! Bummer! I'm not discouraged - I'll try for another week on the same "programme" and then if it is showing no effect then I'll change! Welcome Ashley - and well done for that weight loss!! Well done Lyn!!!! Wish it were me!!! :laugh:
pearllyn Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Oh same here Jill - I didn't lose anything at all the first week! I was disheartened, but not discouraged and managed to lose some the second week! Welcome Ashley!
Luvparrots Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 You are all great encouragement for me!!! Good going everyone!!!
Janfromboone Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Wow! How timely. I've put on almost 20 pounds since I quit smoking a year ago. I had lost 30lbs about three years ago and gained back 10 over the two years before I quit smoking but it had stabilized. Now I've reached my old all time high. It is soooo hard to get started on a diet. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one on this forum. I'm going to try again.
pearllyn Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Good for you Jan! It does help to have like minded folk to bounce off! I've been naughty tonight though and missed my excersises - ate properly though!:unsure:
kittykittykitty Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I azm sooo proud of all of you!!! You all deserve hugs and rah, rah, rahs. {Feel-good-000200BB}
Janfromboone Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Now it is the day after my post and - well, I really didn't get started very well. I went to visit my mother who is 99yo. She was blue and I invited her out to lunch to cheer her up. The rest is just another excuse. I'm going to work for the next three days and that will keep me busy and maybe it would be best to start in the morning. I'll let you know how it goes.
Talon Posted January 28, 2010 Author Posted January 28, 2010 Great job everyone. Taking a day off is okay, in fact it is recommended, just don't let it turn into 2 or 3....:angry:
pearllyn Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Penny is right Jan - a day off is fine, and it was for a good reason! I didn't feel like it at all today, so I only did 15 mins on the bike, some crunches and had a glass of wine instead - it was one of those needs must days.:blink:
JillyBeanz Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Hey Jan - I hope I'm still fit enough to be out and about in my 100th year! Good on your mother!! That's a fab excuse for missing a day!!! I've been thinking about this thread and laughing to myself - you lot are a bunch of people I've never met and I find more support for this than paying a fiver a week at Slimming World or Weight Watchers!!! Keep up the good work everyone xxx
Luvparrots Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 The sun was out this AM so I took a walk around the block. It was great to be out in the sun!
pearllyn Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 The sun does wonders doesn't it? Well done for getting out and about. We didn't get any today, but it was quite mild! :)<br><br>Post edited by: pearllyn, at: 2010/01/28 00:17
JillyBeanz Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 How proud am I!!! Today is my colleague's 60th Birthday. I bought the present, I decorated the room and I BOUGHT THE CAKES! I sat, drank my coffee - BUT HAD NO CAKE!!! I've just had a plum!! As for the sun Janet - here in the UK I think we've forgotten what that is - could you catch a ray or two and post them over?
Talon Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 YAY!!! Jill!!!!!!! I am SO VERY PROUD of you!!! That is one tough choice, but you made it!! Great job! Karma for you instead of cake! :woohoo: :woohoo:
Luvparrots Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Good job, Jill!!! I sent a message skyward Jill to send you a sunray or two!!! :)
pearllyn Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Very well done indeed Jill! I would have succumbed to the cake! I was back to my full schedule of excercises today! And a nice healthy tea.
Janfromboone Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Everyone sound like they are really committed. I had a good day today at work. Ate a salad for lunch. We are expecting 10 -14 inches of snow tomorrow and the next day so I won't be going out to exercise. Someone walk an extra mile for me. Ugh - I guess that wont work will it.
JillyBeanz Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I am so pleased everyone is still in the spirit nearly a two whole weeks since we really dug our heels in! Now - this is the testing time - the weekend. Luckily during the week at work food isn't readily available, but come Friday night and Saturday night it's usually my little "picnic" night - bottle of wine, nuts, crisps and M & Ms are the usual accompaniment to bad British TV! But no - I've had a late dinner (7pm) and I am now full and therefore I think this will banish the munchies (I still have enough "syns" for a bottle of wine too)!! Keep going all of you (and keep warm Jan)!! I hope when I report back on Monday I may have some good news!! :laugh:
Talon Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 Go Jill!! Nuts are good, drink water and eat some nuts to fill you up when the munchies hit....or just log on here, and we will entertain you so you forget about the munchies!!:woohoo: :woohoo:
Tucker5590 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Lost 1 lb. last week- but have not had a great eating weekend.....so I have to work hard this week.
pearllyn Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Woohoo - another pound off!!:woohoo: Janfromboone wrote: Someone walk an extra mile for me. Ugh - I guess that wont work will it. Lol Jan - I don't think it will, but if willingness counts for anything, you'll lose a pound or two!! Jill, munching is my problem too! I've managed not to be too bad this week though, only slipped once with a glass of wine midweek! And what are the syns you keep mentioning?
Luvparrots Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Well I started 01/21/10 and today is 1/31/10 and I weighed myself, after my walk. I lost 2 lbs.!! I am stoked! Thanks to this awesome group I might finally get in shape!!
pearllyn Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Wow Janet! 2 pounds in 10 days!! Well done! What a fantastic start! Doesn't it make you feel great that the effort is paying off!!
Talon Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 WOW! The pounds are starting to fall like the leaves on a tree!! WOO HOO! I'm so excited!! It's Monday soon, let's all try to go one day being good, and then we'll reward ourselves with by haring our accomplishment Tuesday morning!!! Remember to keep drinking lots of water through out the day....:cheer:
JillyBeanz Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Well done all of you! I have been sitting here green with envy reading of your successes - and today's the day! I've weighed myself this morning and lost 2 pounds!!! I am now feeling like maybe this "modification" is working - and will keep it up! Keep going everyone and thanks for the cheerleading Penny :kiss:
