Biggest Loser Challenge! => Lets Do It Together!

[DianeBrandt]

I know I've been MIA, but had a tragedy in the family... but life moves on and I'm back. I don't want to let anyone down, so I press through!

I know my weight will be off, but I promise you... I'm getting back on track.

 

[DianeBrandt]

It took me to get reaaaaaaaally fed up with myself too do to anything about it, I just kept trying to ignore it before but it got to the point that I did not want to live trapped in a fat suit any longer still a huge long way to go though! I weighed alot more than 250lbs

Yeah... it really does take some of us hitting rock bottom before we can commit. Keep pushing!

 

[DianeBrandt]

Ill join Im 186. 5 at the moment.... I want to be 168!!

xx

Wow! This is great... I'm glad you're joining. With all of us pushing together, I know we can do this. Keep pushing and I'm here if you ever need a little encouragement.

 

[DianeBrandt]

I'd love to join. I'm now down to 133 but I am losing motivation and struggling, I'm starting to re-gain. I started at 163. I think I'm going to take up running. I'm a weightlifter by hobby but with LO being so young, I can't leave him in a gym daycare and our home equipment is packed away to sell our house. Jogging outside with LO is a great alternative.

Welcome! I'm glad you're joining!

 

[DianeBrandt]

had my first weigh in and lost 4.5lbs ...

I think i might try Zumba as excerise this week!! .. theres a class on wed! woop

Great job! Keep up the great work!

 

[DianeBrandt]

Can I join, I'm starting my diet again tomorrow. I used to be 175lbs but managed to diet earlier on in the year and got down to 155lbs but now I am back up to 163lbs! I am trying to get down to 130lbs.

What kind of exercise is required? Does it have to be full on or does going for a walk count lol

Of course you can join!!! Find an exercise routine that works for you.

 

[DianeBrandt]

Can I join you & clh_x3? I love BL although I am in uk so a season or 2 behind you. Will get on the scales tomorrow...

Welcome! Thanks for joining the team! We can do this together, and I'll be here for you and everyone else every step of the way.

 

[DianeBrandt]

Okay everyone... I got on the scale this morning, and not to my surprise, I lost 0 pounds.

I'm not going to make any excuses for myself because I feel excuses have held the majority of us back from reaching most of our goals and dreams.

I will promise you that you will see results from he in the near future. Not only am I doing this for myself and children, but I'm also doing this challenge, to give you encouragement.

I will not let you down. Today is a new day and going strong.

Also I though about starting a blog for us... what do you think about it? If you girls would like me to create something for us let me know. What would you want me to include in the blog.... nutrition? exercises? diet plans? inspirational quotes?

Just send me a message and let me know.
Have a great one everyone!


Your friend,

Diane

 

[DianeBrandt]

How's everyone doing?

I hope that you all are doing your best to reach your goal. Today is a new day!

Happy Birthday!!! I'm glad you're going to be starting your journey on weight loss.

I'm doing well, and I hope that you are to.

I'm very happy to read that this thready is motivation for you... it's something we all need.

I'm at 231, but I'm not for long.

 

[curlykate]

Well, I supposed I might as well join up!

I'm currently 179lbs (but already lost 2, so down to 177!), and my goal weight is 130. I haven't weighed that little in a LONG time! The last couple of years, the weight has just crept on slowly, and then I packed on 50lbs during pregnancy! (But lost 30lbs of water weight shortly after bringing LO home.)
I usually do my weigh-ins on Monday mornings, but some times I forget, and do them on Tuesday.
I've tried eating healthy and working out before, but never really had a support system. Now that I'm on BnB, I'm hoping to find that support system here.

Hi Kate & Welcome, your baby is just so cute.

Great for you. Stay positive!

 

[curlykate]

Well, I didn't lose any weight this week. Probably has something to do with all the Halloween candy I pigged out on in the last few days. At least I didn't GAIN any weight!!

 

[Jane1972]

Well only 2 pounds off this week for me which isn't great for a first week but it is a start. How is everyone else doing?
Kate how was your first week?

Hi Kate

[SisterRose]

I'll join with you all! I'm currently something like 210 and so I really need to work on losing the weight. I've actually been eating better this last few weeks and cut out most bad things apart from the alcohol I've had the last few weeks. Oh, ok...and the sneaky muffin I had earlier... (uh oh) so I could have lost a bit but not much.

I don't own any scales at the moment as I find it too depressing but I'm going to buy some this week, I will re-weigh myself then and post how much I lose, if any each week. I think I'll be exercising via wii fit. I think if I have people to tell how much I've lost it might be more of a motivator for me! I might start a food diary somewhere on this site too, if it's possible to record how much I eat each day. Also a bit of a motivator!

You're lucky! We only had 23 kids, but bought 120 pieces of candy! (We were giving out 2 pieces to each child, so enough for 60 kids.)
I'm trying to convince OH to take the rest of it to work, so I don't pig out again tomorrow.

There are many reasons for not dropping a few pounds. Stress is one cause, but when you're building muscle... it may seem that you're making progress but you actually are.

Keep going and stay positive!
