What's MFP?
I have joined your group, I will make all of you look like weight loss nuffins
Good to have you, Spooniest!
I'm dreading weigh-in on Sunday. Had an awful last 7 days. All day drinking on Sunday led to late night pizza and entire packet of chocolate digestives. Also went for food on Wed night followed by lots more alcohol at an open mic night. I went for a run last night though and going again tonight. It's more like damage limitation though. If I have just stayed the same weight then I will be amazed.
id join but i have no way of weighing in i have no scale, cause they are evil things that for me never help in the process of loosing weight, 2) i have a horrible addiction to caffeine, specifically Mt. Dew.. I've tried to give it up I really have and i can't and i know what that means, but it's not smokes (quite over a year ago) or booze (I really don't like to drink much at all) 3 i have trouble working out. I have a shoulder injury that i need surgery for and while i've found a work out program that keeps me off the floor i can't seem to keep at that for more than a week.
but I have taken steps to help! I've really cut back on my mt. dew intake (for 6 to 2 or 3 a day) i've stopped snacking on bad stuff and started in on more veggies and other natural healthily stuff and i've started trying to keep a clean house since house work is a good way to be active when i don't want to or don't feel like doing my other workout. I've also talked with my dr and we agreed that a "diet pill" would be helpful to get things going for me too.
but for the most part since it's cold and that makes things hurt more than they should in nearly 30 year old me, i'm a bump in my chair playing games.
Speaking of games i also play my wii Just dance when i have the room too.
I posted here cause I'm inspired to try to loose the weight. Im healthy according to my dr but i'd like to loose some weight knowing my mom has weight related health issues. thanks guys!!
I've had a big initial weight loss too, it always starts to slow down though the more you lose. Also, you'll get weeks when you've eaten really well and done lots of cardio and for some explicable reason... you gain weight! That sucks. It's points like this that it's easy to get discouraged but the key is to just keep going. Yeah, we may have had a bad week or two but we just get back on it now!
I'm just thinking of this as a lifestyle change as opposed to a diet and it seems to be keeping me relatively focused :)
I suggest before and after pictures. Take like a picture a month. Compare it with where you started. You may have "gained weight" but it could be muscle and you're shaping. Sometimes a picture like that will show you to not worry about the scale.
When I used to do WeightWatchers, the first thing they always said was measure yourself. Because some weeks you'll get on the scales and be like whaattt?!! But your body may have changed in that you've turned fat into muscle or whatever and by doing your measurements you can see exactly where your body is changing and stuff.
I'm certainly not looking forward to having to lose baby weight once baby is born.
Good luck everyone!
I'm not doing le contest because that would make me feel pressured and I don't work well under pressure when it comes to certain things, but I have lost weight by dancing for about 20 minutes twice a day! Going to start adding a jog to it soon. Haven't changed my diet at all yet
WE CAN DO IT!
