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.

Please take care of yourself and be safe.
I will definitely support you with the exercise.... and anything else you might need.
I haven't gone to exercise today yet. ... I had wanted to but then DD1 slept in and couldn't get up and wanted to go for her second class! So, I had to drop her and then decided to do some grocery shopping.
Hopefully I will make it in the next hour or two.
Have a great Valentine's Day and I hope that you and DH can have a nice celebration despite the emergency.
Talk to you soon.
I will keep this site updated.
New weight is 151.0 lbs... yay!!!!
I don't even recall my weight yesterday. maybe I forgot to weigh myself? lol.... THAT seems highly unlikely.
I looked at the last weight I have recorded and I was apparently at 152.0 or 152.5. Either way, I lost some weight somehow.
This is where i was a while ago and then again last week... all just before big celebrations.
So.... I have some company coming over for the weekend. They will be here on Saturday evening and leave Monday afternoon.
I just hope that I don't end up gaining too much weight. This is getting hard. I try to lose the weight only to have something come up that I cannot control what and how much I eat and then I end up gaining weight again. agh.
I suppose I should just look at the bright side.... I'm maintaining the weight I'm at right now and I'm enjoying life... the simple things, like good food.
It's just that I only have two months to reach my goal.
**11.0 lbs to go
It's been a week since I posted. I didn't think it was that long. I was extremely busy but I guess time slipped away from me.
I was busy cleaning up my house (picture spring cleaning) for guests who came over for the weekend. It was a long weekend for us in Canada and we tried to make the best of it.
I could eat very healthy but somehow let all that slide. I did eat healthy but just lots of it. I need to practice CONTROL. lol
It wasn't that bad but I did overeat things that I really liked.
Yesterday was a 'chill' day. I hung out with one cousin who stayed back and left last night.
Today is the first day back at getting myself to where I was.... again.
I've eaten a banana, yogurt and a granola bar so far and I just got back from the gym. I did a 30min walk on the treadmill. Not bad.... I'm quite proud of myself.
Oh... and I also consumed 2 glasses of water so far. I need to increase my water... lol... I just need to drink the stuff first!!!!
So here's to day 1.
New weight is 154.5 lbs. sigh.
At least it's going in the right direction. lol
I've been busy with my kids and making sure homework is caught up on that I only just realized that it's Thursday. When did that happen??? this week has really flown by, especially with it being a long weekend last weekend.
How is everything going for you?? I hope all is well with you. I guess you are still in FL.
Today's weight is 153.5 lbs... so that's down 0.5 lbs.
Yay!!!!!
**13.5 lbs to go
I dropped 2.0 lbs overnight!
I don't know how and I don't care. Just kidding. I think my body was holding on to a lot of water and finally decided to let it go and bring me back to my old self.
151.5 lbs today
**11.5 lbs to go (last week I was at 151.0 lbs... so not bad)
How are you doing? I hope all is well.
Afterwards, in the afternoon, I weighed in at 152.... i had to check after my shower. I'm going down during the days but wake up with more weight in the morning. I've noticed this pattern for a while now. Strange.
I'm weighing everything and measuring everything today. I've got to get it back to 151 and then hopefully get into 150. I've been at this for one month now. I keep getting there and then there is some family gathering and I end up putting the weight on again.
How are you doing? I hope all is well. I should have asked you how long you were going to Fl. But, I think yoiu let me know just when you left and you wouldn't have been around to answer me anyways. lol
It must be the frigid extreme temperatures we are dealing with that has me craving food that I wouldn't normally eat or in amounts that I wouldn't normally eat. yes, I think I'm overdoing it with the amounts. I'm weight most things but not all. I need to fix this.
I was doing well yesterday until DH decided to get Popeye's chicken for supper and then I ate a small bag of hickory stic ks... love those! Agh.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.
I give up....
:(
At least I stayed the same and didn't go up.
I went to the gym with DS last night and ran(ish) around the basketball court and shot hoops! I haven't done that in years and it was fun. I did that for one hour.
Today I'm going for a one hour yoga session! My first... the course started one month ago and I haven't gone yet... too busy/dr appointment/ visitors coming over... but, not today!!!
Let's hope this new found exercise will start the ball rolling.
How are you doing? I hope all is well. You've been gone for quite some time now.
Since I was away for almost 2 weeks, then came home with all that stress and exhaustion I didn't go on the computer til now. My computer has been freezing up on me. Hubby worked on it but it's still acting up. Don't know of it is my cable co. or my laptop. So , now i'm on my daughter's laptop. :(.
It's great that you are exercising. Since, you only have 13.5 lbs to go yo may be in a plateau. Lets hope the exercise boost will help you out.
I've been trying to exercise daily. the problem i'm having now is eating correctly. not sure what's going on. Trying to evaluate. Hopefully things will level off and I'll start losing again. :).
Have a great day.
I don't know what happened to my post yesterday....
Anyways, there's no point in saying the same things again. Basically, I was at 152.5 yesterday so I ended up going down 0.5 lbs! Yay it was a downward spiral starting.
Today..... guess what????
I dropped 2.0lbs overnight!!!! I am 150.5 lbs!!!!! I couldn't believe it... I stepped on the scale a few times to make sure that my scale wasn't playing tricks on me. lol
I think that my body was adjusting to the exercise that I have been doing lately and it needed to find it's place and finally release all the water it has been retaining. I don't know.
I'll take it. I'm so happy. My hard work is finally paying off.
**10.5 lbs to go!!!!
BTW, I did state yesterday that i was glad that you are back safely. I was getting worried. How did things go for you? I hope everything worked out for you.
My weight stayed the same today... 150.5 lbs!!!!!!!!
I sure hope that I don't mess this up. There is only one way to go from here... yup... downhill!!!! lol
How are you doing? Are you all settled back in now? You were gone for some time and it takes a while to get back into the swing of things.
I'm settling in ok. now getting ready to leave tomorrow for Mass. to visit Brandeis Univ with my daughter. Keep your fingers crossed we have some good weather LOL
I've been exercising except the last 2 days. Well friday i did snow shoveling for about 10 mins. so i counted that LOL
weight to me is staying the same. not going to count it yet as i've been going down a few tenths of a lb then all of sudden i go back up. i think my body is trying to find it's way with the exercise i've been doing too. the eating has to improve.. when i start to exercise it seems i eat more for a bit. so time will tell. just have to stay on the exercise routine. :).
Doing the happy dance for you and your weight loss.. whoo hooo. kepp up the great job you are doing.
What exercises are you doing ?
I do the on demand from comcast lately. mostly walking ones. they do have squats and some dance routines in some of them. I've been staying away from the harder ones as not to hurt my back.
Have a great day.
I'm going to try to get on while away but not sure what the schedule will be. tomorrow will be driving all day.
