November/December weight loss challenge

Catrin, I'm exactly 100 pounds heavier than you.

231.8


I'm trying really hard to visualize myself much thinner and what that's going to take as far as lifestyle changes. More regular exercise for one, and less sugar. I'm all about the holiday baking, but I'm trying to limit it this year.

I cooked for 10 of us and I joked that I felt like our Mum - I really didn't eat very much after all the cooking. If I could have worked out a bit, maybe I would have lost a bit more than 0.4 lbs. But I'll take it.

I started a new job a couple weeks ago and I had the grand intention of turning over a new leaf at that same time, with better eating and exercise. But I also started the new job very sick, so it wasn't really happening.

Now I am telling myself that tomorrow is my new leaf turning. Fingers crossed!

I think visualization does help a lot, at one time I was quite close to your current weight. Hang in there - you are certainly far more fit than I was at that weight!

I have gained 3 pounds back since I had to cut back on all cardio exercise due to the over-use leg injuries. That is quite frustrating, but I try to keep it in perspective. I am finally able to start ramping things up - albeit slowly...

Please mark me 135 for last friday.

Considering the required pie-to-people ratio of 1:1 at our Thanksgiving gathering (it's a tradition), I'm rather pleased with that number.

I made coconut cream. We also had pear-ginger, mock mince, banana cream, pecan, raspberry chiffon and lemon meringue!

Oh my! Can I join your family?

[Susan Otcenas]

Only if you know how to bake pie!

[Jones]

I can bake pie. I made apple, pumpkin, pecan and cheesecake, we were six. I would love to learn to make cream pies, coconut cream, banana cream, chocolate silk...oh wait never mind this is the weight loss thread.

Don't limit the baking, send pie to us

You don't even have to officially join! I got to experience the 1:1 pie ratio last year as a guest! It was AWESOME! (actually, I think we were higher than 1:1 that year, weren't we?)

[Sillz]

I don't bake pie but I do make a mean cheesecake. Can I come?

231

But yesterday it was 235 and had been for several days. I took a prescription diuretic and lost four pounds of water weight. I'd like to not have to rely on pharmaceuticals to do that, though.
