Hey Guys!!!

I'M BACK and ready to get to work! I had a wonderful time on my vacation this past month, but did gain a few kilos back. But until Christmas I am motivated to have it back off PLUS more :) :) :) But this is step by step again.. month for month!

WHO'S WITH ME!!???

This time the weigh-in days are different.

Every Thursday is weigh in day as well as the 'DAY OFF'-day. Work out throught out the week, eat well etc, but on weigh in days (if you've lost or not) you can eat or drink whatever you please..otherwise we go nuts! :)

Just follow the link to add your weight log, and come back every thursday (weigh-in day!)to update it.

Looking forward to working out with you guys!!! :) :) :) :)

Great idea! OK, I don't really have a goal unless it's just to be a little less each week (or at least not a little more), but I have lost 25 lbs and would love to lose another 20 by December

Hi,

I'm up for this. Currently weigh in at 291 and want to get down to 182 - so a long weigh to go!(sorry for the pun)

Back at the beginning of July was 312 so know I can do it.

I weigh in on a Tuesday, is it ok to keep this day? What i'll do is what I weigh on the Tuesday I'll put into the sheet for that Thursday so I'll just be weighing in 2 days earlier than the rest of you.

There are 3 days per week on which I have to go to University.. the other days I literally JUST sit on my butt and do nothing except work out for an hour (i do those on the univ. days too).. but this is not enough! I need to do more.. can anyone advise me anything? I don't want to sit on my butt all day.. but I also dont want to go and spend money...

help?

Hi Keliya,
Isn't one hour's exercise a day enough...OOPS!!! That is all i am doing... How about volunteering to weed someones garden or take someone's dog for a walk... or just going for a long walk yourself out in the fresh air...just a thought. Looking forward to seeing how we all do next week... keep strong everyone. Lynda

keliya 08/22/2009

Thanks for your advice Lynda.. the only problem is that I live in china and there is no fresh air here :) The weather right now is horrific. Extremely hot and humid. I don't want to step a foot outside unless I really have too! Ugh..

But I'm also excited about next week :) :) :)

Oh yes, I'd like to lose at least 5 lbs. My weight loss seems to have slowed, so that much would make me happy I suppose...:)

Ugh same with me.. it's going sooo slow! I'm already thinking that I'm doing something wrong :( But I think we just need to keep at it and then one day suddenly we will have lost more than was expected! AND I heard to check ones weightloss by the clothes sizes instead of the scale.. but it really just makes me happy in the morning stepping on that scale seeing that I lost a kilo :)

Hey Guys!

Well todya's the day! The weekly weigh-in! How did you guys do? Add yourself in the spreadsheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap3z8zux5Ke_dG5GTE5KV2xxOGRueFFJcFdOSGY1OHc&hl=en

Let us know how this week went for you..any tips for us?

frogerina 08/27/2009

Frustrated! Lost less than a pound this week...but at least I didn't gain, and my doc still won't allow me to do as much exercise as I would like...but still...I'll get there eventually....

deleted_user 08/27/2009

Thanks for reposting the link Keliya - will try and check in tomorrow. Don't know what to do...am starting a bit late.......but, hey sounds good and I'm a fairly quick learner...so Weight loss challenge here I come!...

deleted_user 08/27/2009

I lost 2 lbs this week. I'm eating more fiber and basically cut out snacking. I keep telling myself; "I have the power to choose whether or not I eat". It has helped me begin to get past the emotional eating. 2 lbs, I'm happy.
