January/February weight loss challenge

[Susan Otcenas]

Hey, if we're getting TE buddy bracelets, I want one, too. Susan, what do you think? It should say something cool and inspirational, something to help keep us on track when we're facing situations like I was today, craving ice cream. I even went to Trader Joe's freezer to see what they might have in single serve something, but I ended up getting bananas instead.

It was not as satisfying. I still want vanilla ice cream. But tomorrow is weigh-in.

I think it's a fabulous idea.

And, good call on the bananas!

When I need an ice cream indulgence, I go for this: http://www.hungry-girl.com/externali...x.cfm?c=14&b=1 It's only 90 calories for a half cup (2 WW points!) and it's really creamy and yummy. And yes, I really do measure out precisely a half cup.

When I was a kid, my older sister used to stick her single-serve yogurt containers in the freezer. The yogurt froze pretty hard and made for good local "ice cream".

My bracelet needs to say "Think before you eat" or "Don't eat that!" as for ice cream I only eat it in the summer time ( I hate to be cold) and when I do I eat this http://dreyers.slowchurned.com/flavo...?b=1430&f=2959 and I eat the whole container, all 160 calories.

Kacie, I am not following a weight loss program. Years ago I did weight watchers and learned lots, now I am just counting calories. I also try to plan meals around what veggies I am going to eat instead of what protein or starch. I try to pig out on veggies and eat smaller portions of other things. Dieting is hard and takes lots of planning- that's the part I don't like. Being smaller and faster is the part I like.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday all said the same darn thing. Got on the scale yesterday and thought it was a fluke, but I'm holding steady today! Yay!
Down over 2 lbs this week!!!!
184.2

236 again. I had a feeling this week would be a bust after last week's 2.5 lb loss. It's ok though. I lost 5 lbs this challenge which is in the right direction

I'm in for the next 2 months!

I just used the BMI calculator. As I expected, my BMI is squarely in the normal range, although most people think I am super skinny and under weight (I am also right in the normal range for weight, too). I would love to lose 2-3 pounds to get the BMI at the very lowest end of the normal range, so I have some leeway here. But every time I lose those 2-3 pounds, they come right back, unless I totally give up all bread (even whole wheat), wine, and anything else remotely fun. I know I eat healthier than most people and there is no junk in my house.
I spent a few years being overweight and many more being underweight. It's getting harder and harder to just maintain...

I've had that. Its GOOOOOOOD.

166. Count me in for next time.

[Catrin]

You can certainly count me in for the next time!

My trainer just told me today that I can expect my weight to go up once I am able to spend some significant time cycling. I am glad that he warned me of that...of course weight from muscle is rather a rather different thing than that from fat.

129.5

[uk elephant]

212.6 this week. Not quite down to my goal, but getting closer every day so put me down for the next challenge!

[bikerHen]

I don't know how it happened, but I'm not complaining. 185! I made my goal
I'm in for next month too. My Goal? 178. It makes me giddy just typing the numbers. bikerHen

[channlluv]

After spending the week at 227, I'm back up to 228.6 this morning. Go figure.

I'm in for next time. New goal: 220.
