Wow, grats all you weight losers!

This may be the motivation I need to lose these last 17lbs I want to.... any tips? I mean, besides the obvious

Current: 137
Goal: 120

I had no trouble losing in the past. After high school I dropped a ton of weight and sat at about 110 for awhile, but was not happy. I prefer having curves. Got up to a good 120 lbs where I remained for years. Then I lost my job. No job + boredom = 30 lbs gained -__- Lost 15 of those so far and this is where I'm at now. I already know all the basics of weight loss.... eat right, exercise, blah blah blah... the reason I ask for tips is because I'm not losing weight as easily or quickly as I was before. And honestly, it's just getting frustrating. I mean, I do have chronic munchies combined with this rare disease where I -have- to follow dinner up with dessert.... but again, I'm not doing anything differently then I was before. My fiancé loves to tell me it's because I'm old now *rolls eyes* I think he's secretly sabotaging me out of spite because I don't help him lose weight....

Make sure you're not under-eating, split meals into smaller chunks over the day, ensure you eat breakfast to kickstart your metabolism, do some extra cardio (possibly HIIT), lift weights.

There, that oughta do it.

Mizel · « **Reply #227 on:** September 23, 2011, 12:14:48 PM »

I pretty much have to do the whole mini-meals-all-day deal due to extremely low blood sugar issues. And I do cardio a few times a week, normally things like hiking, DDR or Pilates. About 2 weeks ago I even started running! That lasted about 3 days though before I quit because I hated it with a passion. Also, cleaning up after/waiting on the boytoy constantly keeps me pretty active -__-

I've decided to get on the weight loss wagon too. I'm a stubborn SOB and once I decide I'm going to do something, I usually stick to it. I wanted a realistic goal which is to loose 15 lbs by x-mas. And then during the holidays, I can eat like a maniac and regain those 15 lbs in a week! (Kidding).

So I started with:

PS3 Zumba. Min 20 mins 5 night a week. Sometimes I do 40 mins.

I joined a running group. So during my lunch break, I will run/walk for about 20 minutes and this will happen 3 days a week.

Eating: I decided to stop drinking pop cold turkey. Same goes for chips. I am making an effort to eat something between meals (like a fruit or some nuts. I know it sounds pretty gay...). The worse is at night after supper. I always want to eat. I don't. I wait till I finish my Zumba, then eat a fruit and fight the urder to over indulge. I am NOT giving up the occasion beer or scotch.

It's only been a week since I started so I have no results to share.We'll see how it goes or how long I'll hang in there, but so far so good.

Mizel · « **Reply #229 on:** September 23, 2011, 12:53:49 PM »

Wow, that's impressive! I didn't have the willpower to make all those changes at once... had to gradually ease myself into things xD I bet you'll notice results almost instantly just based off of the fact that you aren't drinking soda any more. I as well gave it up, and about the only thing I drink now is water. I have discovered that giving up soda and switching to water is much more barable with those water flavor packets they have now. Still drinking something sweet, but with no calories.

I as well refuse to give up my occaisonal beer/liquor, which isn't exactly a bad thing. The more you deny yourself something the more you seem to crave it. To combat these cravings, I treat myself to something "bad" on the weekends and allow myself to drink- within reason of course

Do you like Zumba? I've heard that it's a great workout but never tried it myself.

I didn't see any mention about cutting out the gravy.

Love it. It's more motivating because I'm not just working out, but playing a game at the same time. The downside is that the sensor doesn't always work well, but what ever.

I drank one of those little kfc cups of gravy yesterday. Needless to say, it was delicious.

That's why I like DDR

Is that for the Ps3 Move then? If so, I don't have the move so I'd have to take a Zumba class at the gym.... not sure if it would be as enjoyable that way.

Ugh, all this KFC talk.... now I really want a Double Down sandwich O_O

Probie · « **Reply #236 on:** September 27, 2011, 05:45:48 AM »

A double What?!?!

Another 1.5lb off this week

8lb total in 5 weeks.

Fried chicken
Bacon & cheese
Fried chicken

I want one now.

Mizel · « **Reply #238 on:** September 27, 2011, 08:31:25 AM »

You forgot the special sauce! hah But yes, fried deliciousness

SOOOO guys.... I gained 0.6 lbs :[ It -could- have been the hot dog covered with cheese, bacon, mayo and mushrooms I ate on Sunday..... OR the brownie cake (chocolate choc chip brownies with peanut butter icing in betwen) that followed the hot dog... OR the pumpkin roll that followed that.... But, back on track as of yesterday! And I've now set myself a date by which I want to be at my target weight and be decently toned: November 5th. I just found out that I'll be leaving for Jamaica that day so I now have motivation, no excuses! *grumbles*No more hot dogs and brownies.... that's 17lbs in roughly 6 weeks whichs equals almost 3lbs a week. Hopefully not an unreasonable goal.

Seriously!! Great job!

I gave up.

It's hard to eat well when what I eat is so limited right now. It should get back to normal soon. It's also hard to exercise but I'm going to try to put the kids in the double stroller and take a walk each day.

I'm also reactivating my gym membership that I just canceled. They offered me 3 free months and $20/month after that. It's a great deal for this area. Especially since they have a few yoga classes offered. Every other yoga place around here is a minimum of $10 per class. So once my littler baby normals out, I can start going to the gym.

Wow, tl:dr!!

I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I also injured myself and will probably need to stop running.

178.0 lb Week 7 - 1/2 of 8 : 6.0 lb

Total Loss : 35.8 lb

Update time. OK, five months later I'm at 180.0 lb, so +2 lb. I've been lifting a good deal, however, so I'm still on the wagon. Just wanted to get this in writing before the end of this week. Pumpkin pie is going to ruin me.
