Mandy, it's a great idea, actually, to have weekly goals. I want some of that action...LOL...so my goals next week:

1) Work out at least 4 days.
2) Drink 8 glasses of water every day.

We can do it, ladies!!

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.

This is true. And Aunt Flo made her visit this week too. I'm sure that has something to do with it too.

I actually gained weight instead of loosing it. I went from 158 to 164. I am going to have to stop eating when I stress. Well, I am going to try and be on my P's and Q's this week.

by misskris 10th January 2011, 12:24 pm

@ Twisted I know how that is girl. Just pick something you can use as motivation, like a pic of you when you were the size you like, or a pic of an outfit you HAVE to get in, or like me, I have some jeans that I can't get in so I keep them hanging in my closet on the wall like a picture. That way when I go in I see it and I know why it's there. Hang in there. you can do it!!! We all can!! Very Happy

by TwistedKurlzz 10th January 2011, 12:36 pm

@misskris Thanks for the suggestion. Every since my husband has been deployed, I have been stressed and I usually just eat. I am going to try your suggestion to see how it works for me

by misskris 10th January 2011, 12:59 pm

Anytime. I can't imagine what that's like. Well my husband went to Germany for 3 months at a time once and I had 3 kids then (we conceived our 4th when he came back!! LOL) So I kinda got a taste of what that's like. Stay strong. You can use THAT as motivation-- to look hot and sexier than ever for when he comes home!!! When is he due back???

by courtrhapsody 10th January 2011, 2:00 pm

I am a stress eater too, it happens! Don't feel bad, just pick up and try again this week. I am off my workout schedule and I need to get back on track too.

by TwistedKurlzz 10th January 2011, 2:56 pm

@misskris he is suppose to be home soon. He won't tell me, he only says that it will be soon.

@courtrhapsody I am going to try and get back to my normal food and workout regimen

by summerbreeze76 10th January 2011, 3:24 pm

by misskris 10th January 2011, 3:36 pm

You will lose it summerbreeze...just stay at it!!! Mine Aunt Flow should be here anyday now too so I know what you mean and I hate that!!! But what can youdo? LOL

by JaysCheekyBaby 10th January 2011, 5:51 pm

Hey... I'm a day late on here but umm yea went up instead of down... I went from 175 to 177. I didn't push myself hard and didn't work out as much cuz I was sick and aunt flow came in town for me too lol This week I am determined to get back on the wagon. My goal is to lose 2 pounds this week and eat 5 fruits/veggies a day, drink 8 glasses of water everyday and get to the gym!

by misskris 10th January 2011, 6:29 pm

Yes @ BriaBeauty!!! You can do it. As long as you stay determined to get to where you want to be you will. We're all here to help each other out. When you get stuck (it happens) just come here for motivation or where ever else you can. I have struggled with weight all my life too. I was at my best shape in high school because I was on the track team all 4 yrs. But as soon as I got to college.....man forget it!! That freshman 15 was more like freshman 30 or so for me!!!! Not good!! Find something active that you like because it's hard to stick with it if you don't like it or if it's boring. Zumba is awesome, and if you can't get to a class you can get a DVD or Wii game for Zumba or anything else. Jillian Michaels and Jackie Warner have AWESOME DVDs and will whip your butt!! LOL But I love em!!!

You'll be able to do it. We all will!!! run

by summerbreeze76 11th January 2011, 3:03 pm

Also Leslie Sansones, Walk Away the Pounds videos are really good too!

by misskris 11th January 2011, 3:10 pm

Yeah I have one of the walking DVDs too with leslie. Not as high intensity but still a decent workout.

by LuvMeLuvMyFro 11th January 2011, 3:47 pm

I didn't check-in on Sunday because my weigh-in day @ WW is on Wednesdays and I want to just use one scale which will be theirs. So, tomorrow right after I get off their scale I will post.

I however think that I have gained and not lost. I started tracking my meals and I quickly learned that I am an emotional eater and my emotions have been all over the place lately. Yesterday I had a student have a mental break and had to be Baker Acted (2nd grader) and my personal life has pure garbage for a while now.

by Kittabug 11th January 2011, 7:55 pm

Ok, I definitely need to get in on this! Here goes:

Height: 5' 6"
Start Weight: 193
Goal Weight: 160
