Belle Posted January 18, 2007 Author #13 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Doing the LITE Pledge. Glad you joined us. Daniel glad your here with us..will you give us your "quotes" to help us? Good to see you Miriam, glad you joined us for maintaining. Wish we all could say.. just want to maintain! Yes I'm an "oldie" like Miriam..only means we've been on the board a long time. LOL I haven't done as good as her, especially lately, so I pledge to lose 15 lbs. So Dianne, Cruz-on, Donna, Miriam, Beachladiie, Winewander, CruisinKits, Daniel, and sweet Shelia.... If we could all exercise like Shelia..we would be doing good. So hard work and good luck to us ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbkitty Posted January 19, 2007 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey everyone! This is great thread. I started "officially" Jan 1st out to lose 20 lbs (but would settle for 15) by my birthday May 15. I joined EDIETS.COM just for the accountability and kind of guidelines for food, but I've been trying everything for the last 2 years, been incredibly frustrating. But now I'm going to do a few things different: NO BEER WHATSOEVER (that is HUGE for me and the ONLY thing I refused to give up during these last 2 years of dieting, so this has GOT to work right?) NO CHEATING ON WEEKENDS (again, it's SO easy for me during the week to plan, pack food, etc. etc. but weekends are so "unscheduled" and so it's just easy to say, I deserve a breakfast out, it's only 1 day of 7) EXERCISE EVERY WEEKDAY This is actually not a problem. I work at a hospital and we get to use the cardiac patient fitness room. Every day I go do either a treadmill (weight loss interval program) or walk the track for at LEAST 30 min. Every day there is a 15 minute core exercise class that really kicks butt (I could do crunches in my sleep by now) and Monday nites I do yoga class. Mon and Wed I lift weights, Monday the arms and Wed the legs. Anyway, I feel very determined and like I've been working my butt off, but when I weighed myself this tuesday I was only down 1 pound! Whats up with even weight watchers that swear that regular dieting weight loss is usually 2 pds a week!?!? I have had my thyroid checked and asked numerous advice about metabolism etc. etc. AGH! I know someone out there can relate. I'm NOT giving up! My cruise is not until September, but I just can't go thru another summer like this. I'll post tomorrow what I eat every day...this got too long, sorry! Glad I found this though! Have a great weekend everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted January 22, 2007 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'm going to try and join you all ... I seem to be yo-yoing, I lose the weight, then come back from a cruise and go back to my old habits again. I think I've gained about 20 pounds since the middle of November, everything I see I shove in my mouth. I have yet to step on a scale. DH said if it takes planning another cruise to get back on the bandwagon - go for it.... so our next cruise is August 4th and I have a really pretty outfit that I would like to be able to wear. Congratulations Miriam - that is truly amazing. Good luck all. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potterhill Posted January 22, 2007 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am late chiming in, but I would like to lose 10 lbs by April. Actually, I'd like to lose more, but would be happy with 10. That would put me lower than I've been in many years. I'm back at WW since last week, but can't say I really have been following it. So many distractions this week. The last of these is a cooking class tonight, so after that, I'm on program. Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captjaneway Posted January 22, 2007 #18 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Time to get serious! I am a yo-yo dieter who is currently down 10 lbs from my top weight but up 30 to 40 from where I want to be.

WeirdEyes Posted January 26, 2007 #21 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm here! I've been struggling and re-evaluated what I'm doing. I seem to be losing a few inches, but not weight. I'm back to documenting everything I put in my mouth so that should help. How is everyone else doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinKits Posted January 26, 2007 #22 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm here as well. Down 2.5 lbs so far. 7.5 to go. Not sure what will happen this week. I started coming down with a cold yesterday. I have a feeling the worse I get, the less working out I'm gonna do....if any at all. Maybe I'll eat less though being sick.

captjaneway Posted January 29, 2007 #23 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Sorry you are under the weather CrusinKits, hope you feel better soon. Try to eat healthy too, lots of vitamin C. It can't hurt the cold or the waist line. Me? 1 week down and 0 pounds lost:mad: Hope I do better this week. I have got to get out and exercise!
