Hey all. So I don't think that I did too bad this weekend. I had my last economic development fellowship weekend nad the catering was awful so that made it a bit easier. BUT Saturday night was a killer. dinner was catered in the beautiful penthouse in downtown Denver and the food, I ate like a pig nad the drinks the wine was really flowing! So back to reality. I was not doing to bad until I had the new tomato basil crispini at Panera. I looked at the calories ony 420 cal, 15 g of fat...so I ate the whole thing only to figure out when I recoreded it that that was one serving and the crispini is 2 servings. Well I am still inder fort he dat at 1143, my minimum is 1200 calories, so an apple for dessert it is!
I better get back to my paper, it is finals week, ick!

I joined the team! Hope we get alot of team members.
I stayed within my calorie range. I was up higher on my scale-1500. But, that was fine. It wasall healthy eating. In the beginning the strength exercises really helped me to lose weight, and I am incorporating more into my schedule.
Hello everyone-hope to see all the names on the team!
Out for coffee in awhile! Have a great day!

Hi, I'd like to join in too. I just started. I would like to lose 8 lbs by new years.
My goals:
-Track all of the food I eat everyday.
-Walk on the treadmill or elliptical for 30 minutes at least 3-4 times per week.
-Drink water, NOT POP. Pop is definitely my weakness!

here i am again. sorry for being MIA but my finals are coming up and both me and my DH are pretty busy writing papers.
anyway, my goal for New Year's Eve (Dec 31) is to get down to 132 lbs (i'm at abt 135.8-136 lbs). also some additional goals are:
* stay in my range: 1200-1550 cal
* 15 min stepper time and/or 30 min walk daily or at least 6 out of 7 days
* 5 to 7 servings of fruits and veggies per day
* eat 70% vegetarian!
i do recommend you to start a team. it's easy to keep track of what's happening and u can create a lot of thread wt our daily goals and/or challenges.
that being said, for Dec 2 my stats are:
*1100 cal... i'm ok wt it as long as i go over 1000 cal
*not very good in the working out dpt, unless sex counts as cardio LOL
*225 grams of mix veggies and 1/2 medium apple...i think that should be abt 4-5 servings in total
*i did eat chicken today but i haven't eaten chicken in 2 weeks.

| I'd like to lose 8 pounds. Another goal is to work out 2-3 days a week. I haven't been working out at all, which I know isnt' good for me.
|
|
|
|
Well I just got back from working out at Curves and I feel a little tired, but good. Trying to get all my kids to get done with their school work, so I can work on my own.
Thought about how much I want to lose by Jan 1st and I have decided that it would be great to be down by 10lbs by then. That would put me at 188lbs. That would be great!!

I'm going to follow Matalynn's lead and have weekly goals intead of one overall goal. Hopefully I'll be able to increase things over time.
Goal for 12/3-12/9:
Keep track of calories/fat every day, post on this every day for accountability and support to the rest of you, and to exercise at least 6 days (3 cardio, 3 strength).
Matalynn - good luck with school.
MsLadyShell - I love water aerobics! I've recently moved and haven't tried it here yet, but finding a list is on my to-do list.

| Count me in too. I just joined and 2 lbs a week is actually one of my goals. The other is to do my water aerobics class 4 days a week so. So this is right on time!
|
|
|
|
| Would love to join. Lost 15 pounds, started a new job 3 months ago where I sit at a computer and gained 5 pounds back. The worst part of it all is that we have a gym at my place of work that is free for the asking with all of the treadmills, stationary bikes, nautilus you could ask for, but until 2 days ago I haven't set foot in there. So this is just the thing I've needed. Good luck to all.

Hi,
I'd like to join too - I've got to get some inches of me instead of adding them during the holiday season. New Year's Eve sounds like a great goal - much better than waiting around til Jan 1 to make resultions (and feeling guilty about all the food eaten in December).
I have job interviews in early January too - want to look my best!
