I'm kinda jealous we don't have thanks giving, but also grateful as I'm not going to go off track!

Outstanding.

You can have Thanksgiving whenever you want. You should start a tradition among your friends and/or family. Just don't overdo it.

Back up to 141.5lb ... yoyo'd between 140 and 141.5 for the whole of December!

But ready to get into a routine now! Come on January!!!!

hackess · « **Reply #253 on:** January 03, 2012, 01:13:07 PM »

Okay, if I post here, I make it real.

I started out at 172lbs on April 4, 2011. I ended 2011 at 156.5lbs. I still want to lose another 10lbs, but I'd be happy just getting down to 150. I'm not doing anything that regulated or exerting. I'm just eating better/smarter and in more reasonable portion sizes, and will attend dance classes as the whim strikes me.

Edit: I should add, for reference, that I'm 5'7".

Excellent!!

I have something to post here as well.

Enrique and I have a bet. I have to lose 7.8 and he has to lose 10. If I get there first, he has to bring home or make dinner for a week. If he gets there first, I have to make dinner as usual and I also have to do the dishes for a week. This is VERY motivating for me. He may have an advantage because he really has 15 pounds to lose. But he's too busy working to work out. I can take the kids to the gym now so that's what I hope I'll be doing.

So here we go!

Starting weight: 132.8
Goal: 125

What about his starting weight? Anyway, I weigh myself in January of each year. I'm pretty consistent. The last four years I logged in between 264.2 and 264.9 pounds. This is usually when I'm at my heaviest. Throughout the year I'll get down to the high 250s a few times but basically I'm pretty much around 260-ish. I swim a couple times a week and get in some volleyball when the weather is nice and work cooperates. I also get exercise at shows (and often bruises too) and the kid keeps me pretty active. Unfortunately my day job insures I'm sedentary for the bulk of weekdays. Back when I was a restaurant manager and on my feet for 10-12 hours at a time it was easier to keep the weight off, despite having access to all the food I wanted. Now I eat less but am heavier.

Enrique's starting weight is 180.

I really need to get back in gear too. I was down around 15 pounds last summer, but I put it all back on. I want to start back up on my running program again, but I need to go see the knee doctor next week. My knee still hasn't healed up, and my regular doc was mad at me for waiting so long to tell him. Main goal is to be in the low 270s, and hopefully work in a 5k thanks to the running program. Trying to eat better currently, looking to add in some exercise after the knee gets healthy. Weighed in at 296 pounds (on a 6'5" barrel-chested frame) at the doc before x-mas.

Weighed myself Saturday morning: 154.5.

I just got a Groupon for my favourite dance class studio, so I have 10 sessions between now and April 12 to help me out in this regard.

Just an update: I lost 12 lbs between October and December. I couldn't keep up with my initial routine (runing 3 times a week + zumba 3 times a week). Turns out my body is aging and it's affecting me more than I thought it would.

After Xmas the bad eating habbits partially returned. I had to put the workouts aside for a little bit. Was super busy with work and we moved into a new house at the end of November. I still have work to do in terms of boxes and hanging up picutre frames and curtains, etc. The good things is we're just outside the city on a 1 acre lot so there's a lot of time spend outside with the kids, and that's always good exercise.

I regained 6 lbs since Xmas and it is pissing me off so I'm starting to run again, and my schedule is a bit more reasonable lately. Running in the winter is harder motivation wise however. I HATE the cold. But I still have a good 20 lbs to loose.

Plus you live in the north pole. I wouldn't go outside either.

TheJudge · « **Reply #263 on:** February 20, 2012, 10:03:28 AM »

Temperature is really strange this year. One day it will be 5 degrees. The next day, 45.

Min · « **Reply #264 on:** February 20, 2012, 10:19:55 AM »

5 DEGREES?? FAHRENHEIT??

Min · « **Reply #265 on:** February 20, 2012, 10:21:53 AM »

I am no doing so hot on my weight loss goal. I gained more weight. Enrique isn't at his goal yet but I'll be doing those dishes. I am trying to get into a good gym routine though and eventually will be running and doing yoga. It's hard to get into a routine with two wildcard children.

That's not a good excuse.

damoose · « **Reply #266 on:** February 20, 2012, 12:04:25 PM »

You may say that isn't an excuse, but kids seem to throw more wrenches into stuff then bad mechanics. I used to do karate twice a week and hit the gym regularily before Aubrey was born. I haven't really done either of them in almost four years now. I'll be laid low for a while come May too, as I have to have my ACL reconstructed. Ends up I tore it playing flag football in November. Oops.

TheJudge · « **Reply #267 on:** February 20, 2012, 12:18:10 PM »

It is an excuse Detta. The day starts at 6:30 am and it's 8:30 pm before you can have any time for yourself. By then, sitting on a couch watching TV sounds pretty good. I get it!

pbsaurus · « **Reply #268 on:** February 21, 2012, 02:51:19 PM »

Kids do change everything. My son refused to go to sleep until after 11 last night. Impossible to get anything done.

Min · « **Reply #269 on:** February 21, 2012, 03:26:03 PM »

Well yeah, that's all true. But I'm a stay at home mom and I have a gym membership that includes child care. But I tell you, there's no good time to go. It's always feeding time or nap time for someone. I'll do what I can.

Socrates · « **Reply #270 on:** February 22, 2012, 08:25:47 AM »

For me it was karate three times a week and jogging 5 days a week. Now it's baby burping strolls around the house, so at least I'm lifting a 10lb weight.

Still walk the dogs twice a day but I gotta get back to running them for one of those.
