Okay, I gotta backtrack here so bear with me.
Noodles- Well done losing your first lb!!
Kelly29- The 30 day shred is definitely difficult!! I did it for 3 days straight and quit because I was gaining weight and getting discouraged. I know if I would've stuck with it it probably would've been worth losing a bunch of inches but in my head I want the scale to go down instead IYKWIM. I might give the shred another go after I lose 10 more lbs.
Venusrockstar- 2 lbs in a day is AMAZING!! How's it going now for you? Sounds like you found what it takes to lose.
ElmoBumpToBe- Good lord lady! 4.5 lbs!!!
Well done!!!! I don't think I've lost that much EVER in one week. My max was 4 lbs. And that only happened twice in the 6 months I've been losing weight.
jms- Halfway point!!!
I bet that feels great!
zoe- Welcome hun!! :wave:
I started out at 240 so very close to your start weight! I highly recommend myfitnesspal.com. It's a free website and you put in everything you eat and it will subtract from a calorie/fat/protein/carb chart and tell you how much you have left in the day. You shouldn't feel hungry if you follow this. But the thing of it is, you have to be completely accountable for everything that you eat. If your LO sneaks a bite of food into your mouth, than you have to write it down. That was the thing that really made me think because Emma is always sharing her food and I never put any thought into that but all of those little bites throughout a day add up. I also have been walking and I ride an exercise bike but lately I've given up on that and have just been walking about an hour and a half a day instead. The bike is boring and Emma doesn't let me ride it while she's awake. She just stands and throws a fit so I always have to wait until naps or late at night to ride and most nights I just want to sleep instead.
You can totally do this though! It might not be quick and fast but if you stick with it, it will be totally worth it.
Amelie- Well done with 2 lbs!!
You have been losing really steadily! Jealous here.
And for myself, I've been getting back into it now. DH has been back for a week so we've got a new routine going where we walk for 1.5-2 hours every evening after dinner. I live in a small mountain area so it's a constant up and down hill situation which is kicking my ass at some points but it seems to be working because my weight is finally moving again. Tomorrow is my official weigh in so we'll see what I managed tomorrow!! Although we are super active, it's a bit harder on the food side of things with DH home. Something about him makes me want to sit back and snack. I don't know why but probably because we used to always snack together while watching TV in the late evenings. But I've been really good and have beat the urges the past 4 days. He is really supportive so that helps me. Although he has been requesting ice cream.
He's really fit and muscular from his deployment which on one hand, is SO lickable, but on the other hand I'm angry because I have worked SO hard and he still ate crap while he was away but he looks like he belongs in a fitness magazine.
I kind of want to fatten him up so he weighs more than me.
so far I love weight watchers! Just praying it wont affect my supply! X
