Just checking In

I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. The nice warm temps have arrived here so I am outside as much as possible. Its a great time to get that little extra exercise just working in the yard. Just make sure to drink enough water to go with the warmth.
I have now lost 20 lbs. Im not really doing anything to loose anymore but I am still watching what I eat. I dont want to fall back into my bad habits.
Im sure I will be busy the next few months as my daugher is getting married in October. I havent gotten a dress yet, not knowing what size to buy and if I will loose more weight. Right now my daughter has hers and that is all that matters.
Check in and let everyone know how you are doing. If you feel you have fallen off the wagon, just pick it up and get back on. Today is a new day!
Have a great week!

Hello!!

Well, I got a little discouraged when I gained back all the weight I lost so I haven't been on here. Now, with swimsuit season coming up I have to do something. I tried a couple suits on on Saturday and I was mortified!! I am exercising but nothing really seems to help me. Anyone have any advice??

Today is the day

Hi Everyone.

I have been on this blog link since the beginning but I have not been following and type of diet or exercise program. Well today is the first day for me. Something was different for me when I woke up this morning. I just decided to do it. I really, really need to do it too. I am very sure that I will feel better once the weight starts to come off and I am sure I will have more energy. Reading all of your posts is really an inspiration to me. Continued Good luck and success to all of you.

Back Again LOL

Okay this time I havebeen out of town....

I really behaved my self and made good food choices, except I didnt drink as much water and
I definately didnt get enough sleep...I am refusing to weigh myself right now becasue my ankles and feet are still puffy so next week I'll see if I lost any weight....LOL

Joyce I am glad you checked in if you hadn't I might have just deleted my link to the blog....

Come on everyone dont let a bad day or month keep you from succeeding its the results by the end of the year that matter....

Im happy with my weight loss

Since I have started I have lost a total of 19 lbs. I am very happy even if I dont loose anymore. I have lost a size in my clothing and I have so much more energy now.
Keep it up girls!

I'm Back

I guess everyone burned out like I did when life got a little crazy... the last few weeks though I have gotten back ont he wagon and am losing the pounds I already lost I can tell you I lost 5 lbs last week and another 5 lbs this week....So I am posting again incase anyone is out there lurking hoping for company...

Where are all the posts?

Hey, where is everyone? I've been here a few times and don't want to be the only one that puts a post up. So, here's my progress-in the last month I lost another pound! Woo Hoo! lol At least I didn't gain any back that I lost the month of January. Now I need to get serious again and really work on myself. I hope everyone else is holding their own. Can't wait til spring when I can get outside and start putting in the garden and taking walks without freezing! I don't like to exercise inside and always seem to exercise more in the warmer months. In the winter I just want to bundle up in a blanket on the sofa. Come on Spring!

Been away for a while

I havent been here for a while. My mother hurt her back so I have been busy with her.

I am still hanging in there with the weight loss. 11 lbs. and 12 overall inches. It has gotten to be pretty much routine for me now. I do 8 classes of Jazzercise a week and I really make sure I have 6 servings of fruits and veggies & 8 servings of grain per day. This has really added a boost to my energy too.

I have 5 more lbs to go hopefully in time for Spring.

Have a great week!

Hey all!

So I have not been so good on the diet part, I did start working out at the YMCA yesterday. I was sore this morning when I woke up at 5:30am but went ahead and got up and did it! I can't explain it but even though I feel very sore, it is a good feeling. I did 25 minutes of cardio yesterday and today and then I did upper body weightlifting yesterday and lower body today. We'll see if I can keep this up. :)

Sick of being sick!

I've had a bad cold for the last 3 weeks and have been very tired. Haven't lost any weight in that time, but I haven't gained any either. I have been sleeping 10 to 12 hours a day most days. That ususally includes a nap in the day if I don't work or falling asleep on the sofa after dinner if I do work! Went to the doctor even though I thought it was just a bad cold because it was lasting so long. And sure enough, just a virus although the nurse practioner did say it looked like a "new" cold and that was after 2 1/2 weeks! 2 of my DD's have been sick too, so I guess we are just passing it back and forth! I hope to get back on track soon and start losing again! I hope all of you are staying well!

So they backed up and asked a few different questions...no...I don't do breakfast...no I don't always do lunch....hmmmmmmmmm...they say.... They are thinking that I need to eat small meals...to keep my metoblism..spelling sorry...going... So tomorrow I start eating something for breakfast...a small lunch...and a fruit snack. Guess I will see how this works...lol...I'll let you know how I do.

How did you do last week?

Happy Weekend

Well I am doing great I actually feel fine, butthats only becasue I forgive myself for not dieting the last few weeks.. I just cant seem to focus enough on it right now. I am still exercising when I dont have a sick kid or 2 hr late start....I am glad I have the exercise going, I have cut way back on Chocloate and sweets, but I am not dieting really... But I am eating a lot less and that has to be good enough right now.. I havent had a sodapop since we started..so that is good, Right

I've been avoiding you girls!

I feel so guilty because I completely fell off the wagon. I don't know if I can pick myself back up yet. My kids were sick last week and over the weekend so things have definitely been not normal. I really want to lose the weight so the desire is there but I just like food too much, I guess.

Eating well

At dinner yesterday 13 yo DD said she was glad we eat healthy at our house. At school they had been talking about fast food and being overweight. I eat healthy, but I was eating too much of everything. After the first week or two of feeling hungry a lot, now I think my stomach has gotten used to less food. I feel good about taking better care of myself.

recipes

Oh yesterday I wentand scoped out the sparks site...there are some great recipes over there. Yesterday went well, still having a bit of a problem drinking all that water.. drank alot but probably not enough. I did pretty good yesterday no complaints. Loving the grape nuts this week needed a change from oatmeal...Have a great day

I am so not going to weighmyself right now, becasue my ring wont even spin on my finger...can anyone say waer weight so I am not going to disappoint my self and just skip the weight this week...I think it will do better for me...But I feel great and that is why I am trying to take the weight off any ways....
Have agood week everyone.

I Lost a Size

I'm so excited...When I started all this back in October, I could barely get into my largest pants...I have 4 different sizes...you never know, I might get back in them (that is what I keep telling DH.) DH's answer was for me to go buy bigger pants. I would have none of that. So, yesterday I tried on the next size down and they fit!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!! I have lost 12 lbs since October, and 5 since I switched to Spark People at the beginning of this month.
