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.

It's good that you are able to still take care of yourself while away from home! I don't think I could do that... everything would be thrown out the window. lol
Have a safe trip and I hope that the roads are very clear for you. (U won't even get this message before you leave but I still wish for a safe trip and a fun one)
Good luck to your daughter in finding the right university for her.
Guess what Zee? I dropped more weight overnight. I am now 150.0 lbs !!!!!! I can't beleive it.
This is the official last ten pounds to lose.
February has been crazy for me in regards to losing and gaining the same weight every weekend. I would struggle all week to be where I was at before the previous weekend only to gain again that weekend. Sigh it was crazy. I basically only lost 1lb all of February.
**10.0 lbs to go
I hope to make my goal of 140.0 by mid-April. That leaves me with one and a half month to accomplish this.
Today is the day that my eating is going to affect my outcome tomorrow. I'm going to finally break this 150 streak. I NEED to get into the 140's... it will just make me feel better that I'm even that much closer to my goal.
By the way things are going, I don't know if I'll make my goal by mid-April.
February was very hard for me... all the ups and downs.
I already have various plans for my kids March break that I know it will be hard to stick to plan. AND I have a wedding in the beginning of March break to kick off my poor choices to eat. Agh.
How are things with you? Did your daughter like the university?
150.0 lbs.
I don't mind at all. I'm eating what I want and enjoying everything. I'm thankful that I'm at this point. My body needs time to adjust to being at this weight and, once it's comfortable, it will release some more weight and let me get into the 140's.
It's been about 4 days or so that I'm at this weight. So, not long at all but I am so anxious to get it down that I'm not realizing that I only just got to this point.
I'm doing ok. trying to get into the habit of exerciser. after that happens I think (hoping) that I'll be able to work on my eating and that i will start to lose some weight. I've been up/down the same two pounds it's seems for months
how is the family doing? we just got a major storm and have lots of snow .
This is what I'm used to doing exercising most of the week and then I can lose a bit of weight. usually it doesn't average more than 1 -2 lbs a month but i'm happy losing not gaining. this plateau thing was getting to me.
It's great that you are eating what you enjoy that will be helpful to lose more weight.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. look forward to your next entry.
couldn't exercise on Sat. per dr.
Did only 10 mins of a walking dvd on Sunday. Hoping to get into more exercise this week. just have to watch my back again.
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Is the weather improving in your area.. We're expected to go to 51 degrees today.. that will help melt the snow.
Glad to see you back. How was your trip to Boston? Did you daughter decide to go to that university? Has she chosen another one?
It figures that you would return and post just when i got very busy! lol
I was so busy running around getting camping stuff for DS's winter camp. Then I had to get him ready for it.... quite a challenge.
DH and I treated ourselves to a movie that night.... we both were running around like chickens with their heads cut off! It really was crazy.
I overate tons of starches on Saturday and on Sunday, where we decided to make an authentic English high tea. Complete with scones and finger sandwiches.
That was a lot of starches.
I ended up gaining one pound... not bad considering.
so.... today DH and I decided to do the detox i had mentioned to you earlier. He is trying to lose weight as well and is doing things his own way. We are both stuck with ten pounds to lose and just need help getting over that plateau. Let's see how it goes.
Sounds like you were running around getting things organized and did fit in some family time. The High tea sounds lovely. Was it just you and Hubby? Great that you got to a movie with all that was going on. What did you see. 1 lb isn't too bad with all that you were doing. We (as women) fluctuate more than that in one day usually. Keep up the good work
Daughter really loved the school not the town it was in. the only problem is she won't know if she's accepted until around June. it's the school I think she would really like to go to. Problem is they won't accept all her credits as full she's getting her assoc. degree. that would make her a jr. however they would make her a second semester sophomore. they also, don't give out scholarships to transfer students. this is a very expensive college . We still have colleges in Washington, Ct. and NY to check. Time will only tell.
I'm doing ok with the exercise for now so far sunday to today exercised 2x out of 3x. will hope to get more in but taking it easy as i don't want to do anything to my back. today i had a cap put on & it's made me very tired. so after this I'm going to lie down for a bit. Maybe, I can force myself to exercise after . LOL
Hope you and DH get somewhere with the detox.
lost the lb and so far am keeping it off. however last month at this time I'm not quit a lb loss. so time will tell if i'm not sure if it's the same old up/down or i've really started to lose.
Hope you are doing well.
Drum roll please......
After a two day detox I lost 3 (three) lbs (pounds)!!!!!
My weight is now...
Ready for this?
148.5 lbs
**8.5 lbs to go!!!!
Yipee
Weight is back up. I seem to sabotage myself. So, am not going nuts just concentrating on trying to eat right & making exercise a priority.
The detox you did that was just juices and soups right. I know I should go look back I thing you explained it once. Have a great day.
Weight still the same.
Today: I went up 0.5 lbs. I couldn't figure out why. Then it hit me, as I was dropping my daughter off to school... I completely overate one food group (innocent mistake) and didn't eat enough of one food group (might have done that intentionally... nah, I fell asleep!)
So, today I have to buckle down and get back to where I was. I have to write down what I eat than I won't forget. I'm pretty good at mentally doing this but I had such a busy day...
How are you doing? I hope you've managed some more exercise despite your 'issues'. And I certainly hope you've kept that pound off and lost even more!!!
I've been exercising 4 days of dvd's yesterday I counted 4 hours of food shopping and loading /unloading the car as 20 mins of exercise. LOL
I lost the pound I gained. Still I'm up .5 lbs from last month at this time.. I guess its a plateau this up/down. I guess my body is getting used to the exercise. I am trying to eat better too. just not counting cal. Trying to watch out for eating when nervous or bored.
