I love this! I have been battling weight loss for a long time. I always lose and gain the same 10 lbs! I realize now that it's a mind issue. Instead of focusing purely on weight loss, I'm focusing on creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for life. This focus shift has made my mind so much clearer. I love it! I think I would benefit from accountability. I've done it on my own before and then I fall off the wagon.

With that being said, can I jump in? Here are my goals and stats:

1. Exercise at least 3 times per week for 25-40 minutes.
2. Reach a healthy B.M.I. (I really don't mind how long it takes but I guess I need to be specific so I'll say by June, 2011).
3. Eat well-portioned, balanced and nutritious meals and increase water intake.

Height: 5'4"
Start Weight: 161.5
Current Weight: 159
Goal Weight: 145-140

Welcome mslys! You have the right attitude about this weight loss thing. It's all about creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I have to remind myself of this daily so that I stay on track. Good luck to you!

So I dunno. But I am still pushing thru it. I just hate when you do all that work and literally see NO results!!!!

I hate that too. That's why last week was such a bummer. Darn Aunt Flo, always messing something up! BUT it's only a week. Next week will be better!!!!

Welcome!!! dance
I also have been through the yo-yo dieting (many times). IT SUCKS!!! But it truly is mind over matter and accountability and support makes it that much more easy. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for exercise?

Hi, Mandi
I just started up again... For cardio I do intervals of walking and jogging for 30 min and afterward do abs and push ups. I'm trying to build back up again where I can run a 12 minute mile with no problem. I was there in August. I haven't gotten my strength training routine down yet. I am thinking about a boot camp. I have tried a workout plan called "Body Change" by Montel Williams (lol) and that really does work. That was cardio every other day for 30 min and their strength training plan every other day with a day off for rest. I toned up nicely.

So far, I have lost 3.8 pounds. I hope to reach my goal by April 1, 2011. I am glad that I am on this weight loss journey, because I really need it. I know this is not going to be an easy journey, but I am determined to get to my goal.

Good morning, ladies! Okay, I worked my butt off all week, ate right, and drank all my water. This morning I got on the scale...and there was a gain?! I gained 2 lbs. since last week. I think it's because I'm including weights in my workout, something I've never done before because I don't like this stage your body goes through of showing a gain on the scale because muscle weighs more than fat. I've included it though because muscle also burns fat and that's what I want and it's just very healthy for us women to maintain our muscle mass. Anyway, I've got good news, too. My waist went from 30" to 29.5"...YAY dance. I'll take that for now.

Post by misskris 16th January 2011, 4:52 pm

Boo!!! and YAY!!!! at the same time Butterfly!!!! LOL I know that sucks but you're right. Muscle does of course weight more than fat so that's a good gain if that's the case. I have been using weights all week as well. That may be part of why the scale for me hasn't budged much, plus the fact that I was on my period this week.

BUT....last week I weighed in at 202.4...this morning I weight in at 200.2. So I DID lose a little something. All in all I have lost 8.3lbs! So that's cool. I was hoping that I would have gotten below that stupid 200 mark but that'll happen this week. I forgot to do my measurements this morning so I'll do it tomorrow morning. I usually was doing that on Mondays (a long time ago anyway, when I was working out before) I guess I'll have to remember to start doing that on Sundays.

Good luck ladies!!!!
Oh and welcome @ SoFlyy!!!

Misskris, you are coming up on that 200 mark! It will happen any day now!

Butterfly, I am doing strength training too and the scale is moving slowly, I think I need to start taking measurements. It always seemed like too much trouble to me, but I should try it.

I am down from 147.4 to 146.6, .8 lbs. Slow and steady I guess! Sometimes I do get discouraged because I am now in the range of my pre-pregnancy weight and I am still a clothing size bigger than I was then.

Misskris, you are going to be celebrating getting below that 200 mark next week!

Courtrhapsody, a loss is a loss no matter how small or how slowly. It's the change in measurement that get me through those times that I don't lose that much even though I've been working hard. Is that your first baby? I ask because our body shapes change as we have kids and that could be the reason for your size being bigger but your weight being close to before. Btw - I love your avi. Very cute!

Thanks Court and Butterfly. I WILL get past that mark this week. Maybe I'll slow down on the weights too.

So I guess I'll go take a pic of myself for my before pic. I haven't done that yet. So it won't be accurate because I've already lost 8 lbs but it will be ok. lol I was trying to find a pic of myself that I took around the 1st of the year but there are no full body shots. So I'll go take one now. Toodles!!!! lol

Butterfly, I agree... strength training DOES do that! It can be frustrating but I would do as courtrhapsody said and start taking measurements. You may see more of a difference than the scale and get more of a pay off!

Hi, mslys, I did measure my waist and got a .5 in. loss this week. I think I'll go ahead and measure my arms, thighs, and hips, too, though.

Thanks Mslys09!!!

@ Butterfly, that's what I used to do. I would measure my waist, hips, thighs, upper arms and bust. I will start measuring again tomorrow. Last week all I did was my waist. I'll start doing it all again tomorrow.

Yeah, Misskris, I just measured my bust, left and right upper arms, hips, left and right thighs, and of course my waist. I also did 20 minutes of weight lifting today and an hour of Wii Fit Plus yesterday. I'm going to try to keep that momentum up this week and see what happens next weigh-in day. Here's to a good week!!

Butterfly, yes my first baby. I think things just change! I just had a some junk food during a football game at a friend's house. I need to work out and eat well this week to make up for it.
