Well, I type mine at work, print it out and put it in a binder...
I have a sit down office job, so YES... I have to be on a strict diet...

I never had problems with gaining weight, because before this job I was constantly walking, moving, bending, etc... So now I watch what makes me gain while NOT moving around so much...

I do go to the gym after work, but I am very strict while AT work, lol

Yeah, I also have a desk job so I know what you mean. When I want to snack out of boredom, I walk down and then back up the stairs since I work on the forth floor. That always gives me a wakeup call.

So I've been doing a lot of strength training and I really feel it and it feels sooooo good. I think I'm beginning to get addicted to the feeling of how it feels once the workout is done, lol. Its been 2 weeks and I already notice that I've loss inches and right now that's want to lose more than weight. My clothes fit differently and this coat I have would alway pop open open but now it stays buttoned up. Yay!!! I'm so excited, I love seeing results.

Congrats, I can't wait until I loose some inches. I am like you, I would rather loose inches instead of weight.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it already, but if you want to journal your food on the computer for free you can join sparkpeople.com. It is a database for counting calories and workouts and has other good information. A good, free site.

Hi ladies. So it's sunday and I see I am the 1st one to post weight loss!!! Very Happy

So when I 1st measured last week --> to today...

waist: 43 3/4" --> 42 3/4ish
weight: 208.5 --> 201.6
LOST 6.9 lbs!!!!! YAY!!!!

I still think I need to eat more protein though. Like yesterday I am pretty sure I didn't eat enough so I will do better with that.

YAY weight loss. I know my Aunt Flow is due to come this week so I know the numbers on the scale will be jumpin all over the place which I HATE!!! I tend to gain a couple during that time of month. Does anyone else gain then and if so is there anything you do to beat it???

Good luck ladies!!!
woot!

by LaToya28 9th January 2011, 11:56 am

Wow, you lost a LOT!! Way to go misskris!

I only worked out twice this week. I've cut back on my portion sizes though. I'm down 1lb, and I can look at my waist and tell that it's definitely smaller. I'm happy...small steps lead to big changes!!

by misskris 9th January 2011, 12:30 pm

HAve you measured your waist?? That will let you know for sure! But Congrats!!!!! Very Happy

by Butterfly125 9th January 2011, 12:48 pm

YAY, Misskris!!!! That's a big loss! Keep it up, girly.

Okay, today's weigh-in...137.5 lbs. Thats a loss of 3.5 lbs!!! dance

.

I didn't include my waist measurement when we started, but misskris right, so I measured this morning and it's exactly 30".

by misskris 9th January 2011, 12:58 pm

That's great Butterfly!! Dang I got a LONG way to go to get that waist size!!! LOL Actually I'm not trying to get that small...I don't think I can nor would I look right!!! LOL I have always been a "big boned" girl so I don't think I was meant to be skinny!!! But I CAN get trimmer and leaner!! Very Happy

by Butterfly125 9th January 2011, 1:07 pm

Hahahaha...yeah, we all come in different shapes and sizes. Thanks! I have always been a small-framed girl so for me I'm thinking I need to get that 30" down to 28"...lol, we'll see. My real goal is to be fit and healthy.

by Mandi'sGoneCurly! 9th January 2011, 6:39 pm

Yay Ladies on your weight loss! I wish my news was as great. I loss .2 lb. Sad

Its my fault though. I slacked off alot this week.

So for next week, here are my goals:
1) NO CANDY! (Dang Valentines hearts)
2) Workout everyday with Sunday being my rest day
3) Log EVERYTHING I eat (and as someone said before, If I can't log it, don't eat it)

Next week WILL be better. My goal is 3lbs.

by LaToya28 9th January 2011, 6:53 pm

Congrats on all the weightloss ladies....that's alright Mandi, there's always next week.

I think I will do a waist measurement today and see if it changes next week.
