New Weight Loss Challenge

[Di bear]

TNGIRL - some of my most successful weight drops were the day after the occasional big meal. Think of it as revving your engine.

I was shocked to find that I weighed 170 this morning, down from 175 last week. Something about tonsillitis, liquid diet . . . I'm feeling a lot better now, but not eating like a pig like I was before I got sick. I'm eating like . . . I'm losing weight. I'm going to try to stay in the habit. No more pizza between classes. That will be hard.

If I get down to 165, I'll be down to my mid-season weight of last year. I was 165 for about a week. lol...story of my life. My body likes 170. That's all changing, though.

Maybe I should get on the no-prize list. What day do you all post your weights by?

I think my scale is broken. I just weighed in at 130 with clothes on. Did it 3 time to make sure. I ate like a pig the last two days and just got done eating lunch and sampling my jerky that is in the smoker. I am sure this won't last for long, but I hope so cuz 129 is my goal.

I won't be weighing in next week. Don't kick me out of the group ok? I'll be back on Easter Sunday. Probably up at least a lb though...

Please do! I think this is great motivation. :-) I guess it's a good thing I weighed in today. I've been 175 for about 6 weeks now.

Great job everyone! I had to catch up on post reading, but glad to see everyone keeping healthy and hopes of a speedy recovery for those of you who are still sick.

I'm one of those 4ft. 11in gals, so yes my weight seems low, but like others said, it's different when you're short.

I'm at 115.5 today, trying to continue to keep going down!

Keep it up everyone!

I am on Spring Break for two weeks! Hubby and I are going on a week long 'honeymoon' to celebrate our first anniversary. I do plan to run while I'm gone. We're taking our mountain bikes too but it'll probably rain the whole time. We will hike in the coastal rainforest, walk on the beach, eat seafood, and snuggle by the fireplace in our lovely B&B. Yeah baby.

Have fun on your vacation, KG!

Just curious, what is everyone doing to try and lose weight? Weight Watchers, portion control, counting calories? I think I have tried them all!

KG: Great fun. When do we leave?
Seriously.. have a really great time. Sounds WONDERFUL. I love the coast of BC.

DiBear: I'll get you on the listing. New "chart" will be out sometime tomorrow to eveyone.

Bambu: I'm not entirely sure what everyone is doing -- seems like everyone has their own thing. I just am working on portion control; smaller more frequent meals, and LESS JUNK! Lots of working out, so huge amounts of dieting aren't good. Besides, I do NOT diet well!!!!

Maybe some others can elaborate on their own plans????

Enjoy the rest of the weekend all. Happy Vacation KG!

Well, I have really been having trouble lately. This morning I signed up for My Food Diary (dot com of course!).

The one thing I have a little trouble with is their estimation of calories burned. But, I think, especially for the cyling activities, that I will just choose a little lower intensity than they say. For instance, I might choose:

Cycling, 12-14 mph if I actually did a faster ride.
or
Cycling, 14-16 mph if I was doing a long, hard, strenuous climb (at 10 actual mph).

I don't know...I'm going to see how it goes. I need something fresh.
