[MommyCandice]

Well here I am. I refused to weigh in on saturday as the scales had just been going up. Finally weighed myself this morning 251.4. Not very happy since I was 243 xmas eve but tomorrow I start walking again and I am feeling optimistic. I can do this. Time to kick this weight to the curb for good. Hope you all are doing good!!!

 

[Eve]

Exactly. Christmas was a hard one but that's gone by, and now you can really focus on walking and eating healthy

 

[MommyCandice]

So i am starting off well. I am down 1.8lbs since yesterday and the plan was to start walking today but unfortunately because I have to the take the little man with my it is to cold to take him out so we will try for tomorrow or atleast by next week after the rain it will be more mild out and hopefully it wont be as icy then

Have you ever done workout videos? I'm going to check some out on youtube, and thought about buying the beachbody workout thing so I can try cize! I don't get out much in the winter as I babysit toddlers but inside stuff while they/he/she naps would be okay

 

[hello_kitty]

My husband also mentioned work out vids this morning, why didnt i think of that?

I refuse to let another year slip by, I really wanna lose all the weight by the end of this year.

 

[MommyCandice]

Ya i didnt think of videos. Which ones would you suggest???

 

[Eve]

Same here HK!

I would love to be around 170-180 by the end of the school year at least. I know I could get to 160 if I stuck to something like atkins but I want to be able to sustain the weight loss without too much worry and realistically I can't stick to something strict like atkins for that long lol I like bread and pasta too much!

It's probably been asked before but what are you ladies following to help with weight loss on the food end of it?

For me, the workout videos I want to try out so far is just dance/cardio and maybe some pilates or yoga But I'd like to do them daily (both) like cardio during the day while the tots nap and pilates/yoga in the evening before shower time. I used to love doing Windsor Pilates at home, the 100 was brutal but man, did it ever work!

Hi girls... I am back and refocused have a lot to loose xxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Welcome back topsy! Hope this will be the year for us!

I am doing zumba. Husband also gifted me with a fitbit today. We are going to maui in march, so trying my best to lose as much as i can.

I try to limit anything that is starchy or bad carbs in general. no white rice or pasta, unless its wheat then i can have a little.

I just went grocery shopping for my weekly meal planning which consists of salads, mixed veggies, beef, eggs, chicken, and turkey sausages. so lots of protein and barely any carbs.

 

[MommyCandice]

I am trying really hard to eat better by eating more fruits and veggies and limiting my starches of potatoes and rice and pasta and bread to a very small ammount and to eat very slow so i can tell if i am full instead of eating quick and over eating

 

[hello_kitty]

I've been logging my food since last night. I plan ahead, so log my future meals the night before to get a sense of total cal. Realized how easy it is to overeat! No wonder my weight loss came to a stop. Today I'm eating mostly proteins and veggies with only 1 serving of brown rice and its just 5 cal away from 1200. So im aiming at eating 1200 cal.

 

[hello_kitty]

222.8 today so 2.8 lbs lost overall this week. Next goal is between 220.8 - 221.8, aiming at 2-3 lb weight loss per week.

I did low carb once (Atkins) and lost a good amount in two weeks but didn't stick to it. My parents did great on it until they started back on old habits.

Well done on the weight loss HK!

what kind of diet are you on right now? low fat/cal? I'm doing low carb and staying under 1200. I'm always hungry but gotta hang in there if i wanna lose weight. My cheat day will be monday or whenever dh's day off.

 

[Eve]

I'm going to just keep it healthy and lean and less carbs I think, maybe more towards weight watchers. The last while I've been working on just cutting out the level of junk and increasing my activity levels. I worry about anything too strict.

Thats awesome! What I noticed is that if I eat healthy, the amount of cal automatically decreases as well. I finished off the day with a home made hamburger and still ate less than 1800.

I didn't end up wi last saturday (oops) but in 5 days i have lost 2.4lbs

Awesome MC! We can do it!

 

[Eve]

MC!

Yep, I don't want to be too harsh but making healthier choices and being more active is a great start. I did buy some WW meals today and some WW treats for cravings
