Diet and Fitness Buddies Community Group
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
Happy New Year's!
Let's try our best to stay focused and keep motivated. We can do this. We've already done it.... and then life happens and we gain some back.
Let's post daily so that we are held accountable for our actions and will hopefully get the scolding and/or encouragement from eachother to keep going.
Good luck.

Happy New Year and let's hope this year is a better one for all -- both for our weightloss journey and for all the other aspects in our busy lives!
I'm finally back home. I got in at 12:30am last night after another last minute get together at the end of my holidays! Hey... at least i was making my way back to my home (distance wise)! lol
It was a fun-filled and very busy winter break. Even both DD's said the same thing about it being fun but at the same time it was too busy that they were not home to do the things that they had hoped to do during their break. Right now they are doing their homework that never got done and they are scrambling and racing against the clock!
My new weight to report is 159.0 lbs. Not bad considering all the get togethers I had to attend and all that yummy food I HAD to consume. lol
I only gained 2 lbs and that is astounding when I think about all those calories I consumed... I don't get it, but I'll take it.
In the past, I've come back with gaining at least 5 lbs. Strange.
So here's to a new year and new resolutions. However, I'll be starting tomorrow with the journey as I'm having pizza for supper. It's been a while and it's my favourite food. I'm going to be making it so maybe the calories won't be so bad.
Zee:
I wish you luck in selling your MIL's apartment. I hope it sells fast. Try to keep in touch as best as you can and I'll post daily as usual. I need to be held accountable.
This is the first day back to reality for me. My kids are back in school and, hopefully, back into routine. I feel bad for them as they did not get a chance to get their bodies back into back-to-school mode.
It is freezing here. It looks like it will be this cold for the remainder of the week!
It also looks like winter decided to make itself known. We also have the missing element of winter making a visit.... yes.... there is snow! And lots of it. It is basically cold, windy and snowy. Typical January weather!
However, we didn't get typical December weather.
I dropped 0.5 lbs... not bad for not really trying.
Current weight: 158.5
Goal: 140.0
Yikes.... 18.5 lbs to go.
I hope your DD's are back in the routine and not to exhausted tonight :). Enjoy your Pizza.. I love pizza too. Do you put a lot of veggies on yours? I like to make it myself too. Not as often as I would like it is a bit time consuming.
We've been lucky here had some rainy not to cold weather. .expecting it to drop tomorrow and snow 2".. I hope that's all otherwise, the flight might be delayed. :(.
I do hope MIL's apt sells fast. I still have so many things to get rid of.. Hopefully it can all be done in this trip.. I'm going to try to do what I can and not over do it. Don't want to throw my back out LOL.
My weight is staying the same... Hopefully on this trip I'll do very well with my daughter as we try to exercise every day.
You are so close to your goal. you can do this.
The temperature is dropping and so is my weight! lol
I'm surprised that my weight is showing my pre-Xmas gorging weight..... i'm back to 157.0 lbs. That would mean a droop in 1.5 lbs overnight.
I guess that my body wanted to get rid of those extra pounds quickly. And it's not usually this quickly.... but never look a gift horse in the mouth.
DD's and DS were okay yesterday but they can barely function this morning! Day 2 is usually the hardest... it means that the routine is starting to set in and their bodies have not adjusted. Hey... neither has mine. I could barely wake up and when I did, I realized that DD1 should have been up for at least half and hour. Luckily DD2 was up.
Unfortunately, their lunches were not made and DH had to drop DD2 to school and then come home and drop DD1 to school. I hope he makes it back in time to drop DS to his busstop.... or else I will have to fend off the freezing temperatures and venture out myself.
Ouch.
I hope that you made it to your destination and that the flights were not delayed. That has to be the worst part of travelling.
Have fun exercising with your daughter. It's great when there is someone with us to motivate us.
**17.0 lbs to go
What an interesting day already!!! The kids have a snow day!!!! Where did all this snow come from? It didn't even look that bad this morning but it hasn't stopped snowing yet! There are major snow squalls that are causing white out conditions. Apparently, the major highway (that goes through Canada) is so bad at our end that motorists are just stopping in the middle of the lanes due to the poor visibility or the white outs! Unheard of!!!! Imagine just stopping in the middle of the highway....
Also, the temperature is very cold. Very cold. Very cold...
Anyways... I dropped 0.5 lbs overnight! I'm really excited. I was this weight a few weeks ago but only for one day. lol
Who knows, I may have dropped more if i hadn't had that popcorn binge late last night. I was watching my new favourite show and just had a craving for the stuff. And it was really late.
I hope i can continue to lose this weight. My journey has started again.
Current weight: 156.5
** 16.5 lbs to go
How is everything on your end? I hope that you have managed to squeeze in some exercise with your daughter.
Totally my fault. I know what I did wrong and only realized it after I weighed myself this morning.
We were out driving in that hectic snowfall.. we had to go out.
DH thought that we should go and see Exodus as it is going to leave the theatre in two days. Why not? There is a snow storm outside and traffic is crawling but, hey!
We were at Costco and there were TONS of samples. There was hardly anyone shopping due to the weather and the sample girls were pushing their product and giving generous amounts. There was a lot of stuff that I wanted to try and I did.
However, I forgot all about Costco when I ate three slices of pizza and rushed out the door to get to the movie in time, AND, I also ate a fair share of the popcorn that DH and I shared!
I was in a rush all day. Actually the driving took so much of my time that I was barely making it to my destinations.
There was so much on my mind that I didn't allow for my costco indulgence when I was taking my food into consideration.
Oh well. What can I do about it?
Today is another day. Kids are back in school and I have a mountain of things to do... stuff that is still lingering around since last year! lol
Yay.. 156.0 lbs down 0.5 lbs
I went down 2lbs!!! I guess that my body wanted to get rid of the pounds and then some!
This is the lowest I've been so far this round.
Today, Jan 10
156.5 lbs oops... up 0.5 lbs
I know what I did wrong and I will correct it!
I couldn't help myself. The dinner i made was so delicious that I ended up eating more than I was supposed to. But it was so good. I knew that it would show today and I was hating myself for eating more... I didn't want to ruin my progress.
Like I always say... today is a different day.
Snow again. I'm already sick of it and we really didn't get any in December! Does it have to snow t his much everytime? And that Arctic chill has to go... enough of the frigid temps.
Agh... maybe i wouldn't mind the snow so much if the cold wasn't here as well.
Anyways, today I have no clue as to what my weight is. My scale needs new batteries.
This may be a blessing in disguise since we had company all weekend and I was trying really hard but lost it last night and overate a few items. I couldn't help myself... it was so good. Besides the item I really liked was right in front of me.
lol
That's it as far as the family gatherings are concerned! Thank goodness.... I'm getting a litttle tired and I need to rest and catch up on other things I've been wanting to do.
I didn't get around to do some shopping yesterday so, I still don't have any batteries.
All's well and I'm trying to hold down the ship! I'm doing the best I can with my eating.
I doubt I'm going out today either so I won't know my weight tomorrow either. It will have to wait.
It's too cold to go out.
Still no scale so no weight to announce. I know that some people don't like to weigh everyday but I have to. The plan I'm on requires me to weight in every morning after ... ahem... using the bathroom. That is your true weight. It motivates you and keeps you in track because you can figure where you went wrong or right the day before. It's that precise... what you ate yesterday makes a big difference today.
How are you doing?
I hope that you have finished going through the stuff at MIL's apartment and that it is up for sale now. Hopefully it will sell asap.
Are you getting in your walks? How about the exercise you were hoping to do with your daughter?
I hope all is well and that you are headed back home soon.
Take care.
and the scale shows.... drumroll please.... 154.0 lbs !!!!!!!!
That would mean that I dropped 2.5 lbs during the time of 'no batteries'. Wow. Just wow. I'm very impressed. I had been really trying my best to get back and not let the scale climb up. I've still been eating whatever i want but I've been aware of what and how much I'm putting in my mouth.
I'm so proud of myself... I did this with company over for the weekend and I made lots of yummy things!
So...
current weight: 154
goal weight: 140 ... why not? I think I can do it...
**14 pounds to go
***goal date: mid April.... my birthday
That's good considering I had a rough day and needed some serious comfort food.
155.0. Then again, I'm not quite regular.. I've been under some great stress lately.
Need to buckle down.
Thank you for keeping the journals going while I was away. I did ok on vacation/clean up. the flight was delayed going. :(. airport was small , cold and uncomfortable. otherwise the plane ride was good. Weight is about the same. gained about 1 lb. problem is just before going away i gained about 6 lbs. i think it was on the last trip.. lol. we'll have to go back to finish things up. seems the realtor isn't doing what she said she would. Yet, a lot of people have been threw the apt while we were there.. I guess it will sell soon. Hopefully. It will make things easier for us. I will miss the place when it's sold. :(.
Take care have a great day.
