start of this thread: 218

Today: 187

That makes 31 lbs lost, and I should be able to make my goal of 185. Woot!

What happened to the motivation to go to the gym? Wish I could find it too!

 My motivation went downhill after my sons got sick and then my workout partner got sick, then I got sick...and now it has been pretty much a rollercoaster of staying healthy for all of us ever since October :(

Hopefully after the cold/flu season passes we will all be healthier and I will have my energy and motivation to get back again!

8.   littlebytes: 18.6 lbs to go!

  • SW: 150
  • CW: 145 - 144 - 145.5 - 143.6
  • GW: 125

I'm pretty much stuck at the same range...was down to 142.2 last week but went back to the mid 140's again...will I ever get out of the 140's??

I have been lazy about counting calories and working out...so that is probably my problem. I need more time and motivation!

I didn't do too well keeping track of my water intake, but I do try to drink enough water throughout the day since I am nursing my seven month old.

I will try to do this weeks challenge with situps and stretching. I'm not sure how many I will do or how long it will take but hopefully I can spare the time with the kids. 

At least the scale was down to 142.2 this morning!

Original Post by smbeemer:

Weighing in today (late again!) at 147, down 1 pound since last weigh-in day. I've been more lax on my diet, especially in the last week. Been too busy to eat properly and have had to eat lots of fast food on the run. Also have only been to the gym 3-4 times in the last 2 weeks! I know the holidays are right around the corner, and they will be hectic too. Gotta get back on track...wish me motivation, diet buddies!!

 You sound like me smbeemer...I am having the same problem with motivation lately and haven't been to the gym in a month! I have lost interest in counting calories the past week as well :( I hope I can get through the holidays without gaining weight and continue to lose weight...

I'm at 143 right now....so still down, but not feeling as energized as I was...:(

Anyway, I'm down to 144, but still fluctuating so not losing enough yet...

I need to eat less or do more exercise.

This looks like a pretty motivated, supportive and active group. Is there room for a newbie to the group? I'm stuck in the mid 140's lately and haven't had the motivation to workout the last few weeks...maybe some of you can inspire me. I'm trying to lose the baby weight and get back to pre-preg of 130-135 and then pre-marriage weight of 125. Thanks for any support and tips!

Do they have nitrates? I've been trying to find some without nitrates...so far only the frozen hotdogs don't have that preservative in them.

Congratulations! I am dying to get out of the 140's! I've never been in the 140's except during pregnancy and post pregnancy...I just had a baby six months ago...and am now stuck in the 140's...but trying to get back to the 120-130's.

Any tips or motivation for the rest of us? How often did you workout? What was/is your routine? How did you stay motivated?

Weight Loss Oh, the Weekends... Oct 17 2007

Weekends are bad for me too cause my husband is around and he likes to make a nice big breakfast for the family on Saturdays. Then the rest of the weekend I tend to eat more than I normally do during the week, especially if we go out somewhere or to a family function. This past weekend I really over did it and instead of losing a pound I nearly gained a pound back Cry I just hope I can get through the holidays without gaining all my loss back!

I found the calorie info...but it is not recognized in CC so falls under other so I don't know the macronutrient breakdown or have a nutritional grade for it.

Weight Loss Breast feeding and trying to lose weight Oct 13 2007

I'm also nursing and losing weight! I've lost 5 pounds counting calories and watching what I eat. I eat no less than 1800 calories,  which is minimum while nursing, but usually around 1900 sometimes more. Nursing allows for about a 500 calorie burn so you have to manually add that into your daily activities on here. If you need more info check my journal for resources or contact me.

I agree with the checkbox idea...I have requested this before but do not know if they read these suggestions or when they read them if they will be considered. I hope so though! Would make the task of calorie counting a lot easier and less likely for people to quit.
Weight Loss where does the fat go? Oct 12 2007
03:40 (UTC)

Interesting question..here's what I found...

 

Answer

When you consume fewer calories than your body needs, your body turns to fat for energy. Body fat is broken down through a series of complex metabolic processes. Your body uses the energy produced by these processes. The waste products from these processes are water and carbon dioxide. You excrete water primarily through urine and sweat, and carbon dioxide by exhaling.

Weight Loss Why am I so tired? Oct 11 2007

I have a similar problem, but I am 38 and a nursing mom. I try to maintain at least 1900 calories a day since I am nursing (1800 is recommended minimum) but some days I am just not hungry enough to eat that many calories even with the nursing. Even when I was exercising 3-4x per week I would still feel tired. The only time I felt like I had more energy was right after a workout but then I would still go to bed and wake up tired...and am still tired most days now. It sucks cause I have a three year old to keep up with during the day as well as my six mos old nursing son.  I guess it's just my old age??
