So this morrning I woke up and I didn't gain any weght over the weekenI
as so excited I just recently started to exercise but when the weekends came along I would gain weight so I'm glad it didn't happen this weekend so I can lose more weight though out the week so this morrning I ate three hardboiled eggs(whites only) and 12oz green tea, lunch I had a salad with lettuce,cucumber, jicama, and lenon juice, for snack I had a half bag of popcorn don't know what I an going to have for dinner yet? can't wait to go home and exercise...

by the way yesterday I went walking to the store with my 8 yearold and we did a couple of sprints and i didn't get tired or passout i was really excited maybe in a few months I'll be able to play soccer with her....can't wait

so today I weighed my self and lost 2lbs now @216 yeah meeh!

good job! keep it up

So I finally get to post again so well diary it's been a couple of days and well i have been a little under the wheather so of course no exercise so I am now @213lbs. and but only 1lb.was yesterday with my doing much of nothing including eatting i was just to sick, and well I still am today but at least I went to work and have an appetite today.I'm still really excited about losing weight. talk to you soon.13 lbs to get to 200 my pants are stating to feel a little loose yeah!!!

dear diary so I had a perrrty good weekend didn't over eat so that was great and well i use size 18 pants and this weekend I went shopping and was able to buy a size 16 I am so excited but I have been here before so I want to get to a size 14 then I'll really know this is working I decided not to weigh in everyday this week and for some reason it's kind of hard so I took out the batteries from my sacle (this self control thing is really hard) any ways so today i didn't pack my lunch so I'm going to try really hard not to over eat

still doing good on my eatting but today some one came to my office with a basket os treats i'm tring to avoid the kichen cuz that is where they are at aaahhh! I love chocolate, jolly ranchers, laffy taffy all the good stuff any way I still haven't weighed my self but my pants are feeling loose so I'm not complaining but i think i like weighing in every day better I do'nt know maybe because it's an instant gratification thing (hope that is how you spell it?)anyway Does any one have foods that they buy religiously to help them lose weght? just thougt I'd ask

Mina,
Congratulations on your loss so far! I just started almost 2 weeks ago, and I'm not sure if I've lost anything or not because I bought a new scale and it doesn't agree with my old one.

What kind of exercising are you doing? Whatever you are doing seems to be working because you've lost weight.

Congrats and keep up the good work!

Hi Mina

Well done on losing weight.

I dont know about buying the same food religeously to help me lose weight - but I do eat very similar food each day. I list everything that I eat in my diary.

I do walk a lot religeously to help me lose weight. I wear a pedometer and have built up my walking.

Good luck with your continued weight loss project.

Take care
Best wishes
Margaret

I weigh daily to track what I am doing. Don't know about the instant gratification since there are certainly days that I go up or stop at the same weight instead of losing. Can't lose a pound everyday healthily anyway! I have a calendar where I write the weight everyday (weighed at the same time in the same way - naked 1st thing in the morning for me!) then I can look at the grand scheme of things overall rather than just comparing today's weight with yesterdays. Seems to help me better that way to see overall on average I'm weighing less than last week or whatever.

As for foods, I don't have anything I get religously but I do try to read the labels on everything & make sure the calorie counts, fat, fiber, sodium & all that are within realistic levels. I track my food intake on Sparkpeople.com to watch how many calories I am actually consuming daily. You will learn that some days you can afford to eat two slices of your favorite pizza & some days you better stick with the salad!

Good luck.

right now i am just doing basic exercises walking (can't run yet) lol one day and well push ups, squats, crunches, and when I'm feeling good i'll try to jump rope it makes me sweat more than walking.even if it is like 10 jumps. thanks for all the imput

Still haven't weighted my self yet but am feeling really good and I took a picture over the weekend and i could see a difference in my face yeah baby!!! Some day I will figure out how to post pictures too share...

Thanks for posting to my before and after pics!

It looks like you're doing a great job so far on your weight loss.

I like to keep chicken breast, frozen veggies, whole grain bread, eggs, peanut butter, granola bars, string cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, instant oatmeal, and lots of different fruit handy in my fridge and even at work. The 100 cal packs are great too!

I began my exercise with walking as well and slowly moved to jazzercize which I love!

Keep up the great work!

so i started tracking my food intake lately @fitday.com and i think i am not eatting enough which is kind of scarry i thought i was eatting good

its amazing when you actually start seeing what you are eating. For me it was the opposite issue. I can easily eat way too much.

Glad you are more aware.

Hope all is wonderful.
