retiring soon Posted January 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 19, 2017 HI all! Belle ~ I've been doing some thinking about cutting down/out on my snacks but haven't put it into practise yet.:o I am down 0.2 lbs again so at least a step, albeit a baby one, in the right direction! red ~ glad you had a great time on your trip. That was quite the gain but you'll lose it quickly. Aratski ~ nice loss even with eating out.:D Wonder how the others did. ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthomaniac Posted January 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Down five pounds, not sure how since I haven't started my exercise or food changes, but I'll take it! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted January 19, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hello, Good news for me, I lost 3 lbs. this week! Red, sorry you gained but part of the fun of travel is eating! You will get it off soon. Arat, Jo and Antho congrats on the losses, good work. Hope everyone has a good week. Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybelle5010 Posted January 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I've got 81 days until cruise time..I have not been serious about losing weight. It's time to get myself together and just do it. I'll be happy if I can shed 10 pounds before vacation starts. (15 would be better, but I'm being realistic! Lol) Looking for motivation from the inside out!!!! The willpower comes from within and is helped along with the motivation that comes from surrounding yourself with others to cheer you on and hold you accountable. Going to get on the scales and post my weight. That's actually a huge deal for me. Maybe if I put my weight out there for all to see, I will "shame" myself into weight loss. Let me be clear about what I mean by shame...shaming MYSELF for NOT doing the things that I need to do to reach goals that I have set for myself (exercising, making healthy food choices, drinking more water... etc). What good is setting a goal, if you don't follow through? This is something that I need to do for me. Losing weight will improve my overall health mentally and physically. It will increase my physical activity and creativity! I'm ready to be a better me!!!! I hope we can help each other along this weight loss journey!!!![emoji106]🏾 looking forward to great results and sharing success stories and triumphs. I know there will be pitfalls along the way, but that's life! We can learn from those too! Have a great day!!

shootr Posted January 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Another good week, down 2 more to 192 and feeling good. Lots of good action on the thread so far - plenty of victories and positive effects. Congrats everyone on the continuing battle of the bulge!

Belle Posted January 23, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Was it in Rain, Snow, Wind or was it clear? Whatever you did.. did you eat good all the weekend? Red.. Glad you had a good cruise. Did you like Dubai? Hope most of the gain was water weight and comes off fast. Aratski.. A good loss again. Your doing good on the 21 day challenge. Jo.. A loss is a loss-Right! My problem too.. snacking! Needs to be good snacking. Mel.. WOW a great loss! You must of done something. Eating less without knowing? Diana.. What a good loss! Did you do anything special this week? Mybelle.. Welcome. Glad you join us. We're all trying to keep our motivation going everyday and lose weight. Helps coming in here and posting. We all know what we need to do but is hard at times. We can't get up. shootr.. Nice loss again and feeling better is great. Hear you've been getting rain too. Have you been walking in it? Renjrusa.. Are you Bob or Rob? You've used each name. Hope your having a good week. I lost this week, see I didn't post, guess because I'm sure just water weight from holiday snacking. Just trying to only snack at night on FF SF Jello or some nuts. A loss is a loss thro. So I will take it. Well hope to see you here on Thursday or before which would be nice to hear/read how your doing and give tips.

renjrusa Posted January 24, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi Belle, I use both Rob or Bob. Sorry for the confusion. I prefer Rob. I got on the treadmill both days of the weekend. Today going back to work was able to complete my 10,000 steps and then went to the gym and another hour on the treadmill. I usually do abs excercizes while watching tv... drinking so much water half the 10,000 steps is just walking to the bathroom...Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted January 24, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Rob.. Your sure doing good on your exercise. 10,000 steps a day plus other exercises. Good Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aratski Posted January 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 24, 2017 My 21 day no junk food challenge is over!! YAY!! Homemade sinful brownies tonight!! :p Gotta have some chocolate! During the 21 days I lost 6.7 lbs and 12" overall. Cutting out the junk helped the belly fat, where I lost the most inches. So yay for that. I just need to be careful and not let my mind think that I can eat whatever since official weigh day is on Thursday! Plus I gotta be extra careful since I had to go on antibiotics and prednisone for asthma/sinus infection flare up. I know that prednisone makes me gain weight too, however, I love how I feel so much better on it!! Here's to staying strong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieB Posted January 25, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi everyone! Renée here, from Philadelphia. New to this thread, hope I can join in a little late. My sail away is in 80 days! Woot!! Woot!! I have been pushing myself to find the same motivation I had last year before vacation. Since January 2016, I have lost 50#. Slowly but surely getting it done. Am getting to the gym a couple times a week for cardio and a standing strength training appt once a week. Now all I have to do is get my diet back in check. That's a challenge. But I like the group motivation here. Hoping everyone has a good week and we see "less" of each other on the seas!

AggieB Posted January 25, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Aratski, i like the 21 day no junk challenge! Great idea. Seems like a good way to jump start some good eating, and break some junky bad habits. I am stealing challenge. Thanks for the idea. Ciao, Renee Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
