Rep Power: 0 | | Well...it's September 1st. My weight today is 6lbs up due to that time of the month. But, that's okay because I know this is not my true weight. Nevertheless, I will change my ticker.
Weight 275lbs.
Today, I will have healthy low fat small meals, exercise on the treadmill, drink plenty of water, and take my vitamins.

| AMEN! Isn't that the ultimate philosophy of life
My weight loss approach: hmm... do I really have one? Just trying to avoid binges because my diet is naturally healthy otherwise. Also, keep up with my exercise. After my half-marathon on the 16th I'll have a few days rest and then get back on track as soon as possible. Yeah, that's my plan
Good luck everyone! |

Good luck everyone! | Hi there...
How is going for you this week?
Things went well yesterday, Labor Day. I had one big meal that I split into 3 meals. I also exercise for 30+ minutes on the treadmill. Today, I exercise for32.31 minutes on the treadmill. I had watermelon for breakfast. And, will have salad, garlic bread, and Salmon sauted in a little olive oil, lemon, and onion seasoned with a blend of herbs.  That's for lunch and am not sure what I will have for dinner. Snacks with be fruit, or celery sticks. I am drinking plenty of water as well. I don't know if I will lose weight this week but that is fine. I will just keep focus and see what happens in the long run. |

I thought I would drop you line and see how things are going your first week of the challenge?
So far so good inspite of everything. I am focusing on eating less starchy foods and more fruit, veggies, and lean meats. I love my treadmill so that is a plus..  I am working on drinking more water and remembering to take my vitamins..
Keep your spirit up. You can do it.

Rep Power: 0 | | | Well, I have a had a good but also irritating weekend. My fridge is on the boom. The freezer freezes food but the fridge part keeps everything hot. So of course all of my produce and diary spoiled. I had to get rid of everything.
I fail off track with my eating. And, I did not weigh in on Satuday. I will weigh in tomorrow morning for things. I hope that I lost some weight but I am not sure. I hope that everyone is doing fine. I haven't heard from anyone this pass week.
The guy is suppose to come and fix the fridge tomorrow. I hope everything goes as planned. Well, on to the second week of the challenge.

Rep Power: 0 | | | Well, it looks like I have been abandoned and have to go this journey alone. It's been two weeks almost since anyone has posted to encourage each others. So, I will end the challenge online and continue on with my own personal challenge offline. In which, I am doing quite well. :-)
If anyone comes and read this... LOL!!! If you are reading this I wish everyone well on their journey. I know it is hard to stay motivated but you all can do it. I still say Follow One Course Until Successful.

Rep Power: 6 | | 2 pounds down so far. I've been running every weekday. I'm trying to keep it anywhere between 3 and 4 miles a day.
Hopefully I get another loss this week! |

That's a lot of running, jpass. Good job! You're bound to continue progress if you keep this up  | Hey there,
I didn't know if everyone had given up already. I have had that to happen before. I know how hard it is to get started less alone stay consistent. I am fighting to keep myself on the right path. I haven't lost anything, mostly because I keep eating salty foods. But, I have continued my exercises.
I have had a hard day today, so I logged on to check the thread one last time, and.... waaaa...laahhhh.. You guys were here.... That was encouraging. I went to visit my lawyer regarding my mother's wrongful death. I cried my eyes out this evening. Then thought, I must get my weight off and continue working on my life. I didn't not follow my plan at all today or yesterday after the phone call from my lawyer. Between yesterday and today I ate 3 candy bars, JJ fried catfish with french fries, sunflower southwestern chips, sugar free low fat popsicles, 4 fried mozzeralla cheese sticks, 1 small veggie sandwich, and sugar free orange soda. Boy o Boy did I binge.
I know that I have to write out what I am trying to accomplish and stay FOCUS or I will never make it. I am glad that you guys have not thrown in the towel. You will make it and I will too, I must believe that. I just have to push past some of the pain that I am feeling in my heart so that I might gone on with life.
Vicky

You can get through this, without jeopardising your diet too.
My week's been ok. As usual, it started well, but I started to run out of steam by the end. Overate a lot yesterday and the day before, but my weight has pleasantly surprised me by going up only 1 lb. I'm getting back on track today, though.
Good luck everyone. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
