Wow Aprill , that's a huge commitment! But since you're da man, i know you'll succeed

And if you need more exercising , you can always go play with your kids ! Kids can make you really tired, LOL

[Aprill]

Yeah I plan on taking them to the park or maybe to the track with me once school is out for the summer

[RachaelMarie]

Today is the day I'm recommitting to Weight Watchers. I've eaten well:

Breakfast: 1 whole-wheat waffle, 1 tbsp light syrup, 2 pcs bacon

Lunch: Hamburger (no cheese, mayo), baked chips, grapes

Dinner: Frozen meal of some sort (haven't decided)

I'm hoping to lose 2 pounds this week, which is sensible. I'm going to plan better for the rest of the week. I need to make sure I follow all the good healthy guidelines.

I am going to do this with exercise and diet, reducing my calorie intake to 2000 a day, maybe less. I will also exercise twice a day, walking 1 mile in the morning, and utilizing the exercise channel on demand in the evening for about 30-45 minutes. I threw away all my snacks today, I literally cried. But it was a big step for me. So far today i have eaten:

breakfast- 1 glass of grapefruit juice
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup of special K
lunch- salad (consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, cu***bers, vinegar and a little olive oil and pepper)
dinner- havent ate yet

Wow, awesome plan! I think I'll steal it! I had a family get together today with tonz of food, so I'm gonna get on track tomorrow! I'm right there with you though, girl! I'm not going to take any supplements either, especially because I'm still nursing my baby!

Slow and steady wins the race. Good for you that you recognized the problem and are willing to fix it.

Sounds like a good plan. Make sure you get some protein in your diet. I didn't know about the On Demand exercise channels. Thanks for the heads up.

Good for you! The SmartOnes aren't that bad. I get them at Target for $1.79 and I eat them for lunch every day. You can't beat a $2 lunch.

Did a bad thing and didnt eat dinner yesterday, I got in a small wreck today, airbag deployed and my bottom half of my mouth is busted, so I have consumed today:

breakfast- bowl of cereal
lunch: nothing I was in the ER
dinner: orange juice, some chicken broth with a straw, and got trifling and had some of Pickle's polyvisol vitamin drops

I did get a good find at Walmart: Crystal light thingies you put in the water...the metabolism formula one. I had a sip, it tastes good. I did walk this morning for an hour, wayyy over a mile, but nothing this evening, I dont feel well

[daer0n]

Gosh Aprill, i didnt know that happened to you that sounds bad what up with accidents when you decide to go on a diet lol, boo on it.

Ok, so i lost another two pounds, no 4 pounds, so i have about 4 more kgs to go (8.5 lbs or so) pretty close to my weight goal, -sigh- i can't wait.

[Nick007]

I've had a horrible week! I had my birthday party saturday, so all the week before that was "my birthday week' so snacked horribly! Bday party came consumed alot of alcoholic beverages, come monday, i've gained 1.5 lbs!!!! I have already worked that off, the only that makes me mad is that it could have been a new weight loss, not a stupid i'm back to where i was last week loss

Damn Aprill!! Hope your ok!! Airbag's going off in your face don't look like fun!! I also use those Crystal light packets... Keep a few in my desk, purse, and brief case.. Helps when I get over cafinated!! Lol

Well ice hockey started this week and I've decided to eat better and drop 12 pounds... Before the game Tuesday I was down 6 pounds from Christmas (188) to 182 and I exersized last night on the treadmill, couple miles... So this morning + weighed 180.. Yeah!! 10 pounds to go...

I can typically loose 2 to 3 pounds a game if I don't do something stupid and pig out during the week.. Trying hard to get back into a size 10 dress.... And even some of my 12's were getting tight over the holidays.. When I get below 170 I look good enfemme but I start to look too thin I'm male mode.. And my wife always stops me from losing too much weight.. Lol. Kind of a safety valve!! 5 years ago I was over 220 and having terrible health problems.. And I'm never going there again!!!

[niksaki]

Hey there, i started weight watchers last week have lost a total of 1.7kg's so far and have a about another 10-15 to go til i get to my personal goal

[AprilRayne]

I haven't been doing so well! I had McDonald's today and I'm feeling really depressed about my weight! None of my clothes look good and I just don't feel good! I really need to get motivated! Sorry about the poor picked on me post! LOL I'm going to start doing pilates tomorrow and I still need to order my Herbalife shakes!

I'm so sorry that happened to you Aprill! I hope you get feeling better soon and you can stay on track with your goals!

[SimplyElegant]

I'm doing a 5 pound weight loss before March 31 on another forum. I find that it helps keep me motivated, if that helps anyone.
