Alright...sorry I'm a day late on the weigh in. Yesterday was a bit nuts. SW: 141 CW: 139.5 GW: 120 So, I'm down 1.5 pounds. I guess it's a start. I've been working out about 4 times a week (either Tae Bo or eliptical and a few weights), so I'm happy about that. Trying to up it to 5 times (allow myself 2 days off). Also continuing with situps in the morning and afterwork...they are getting easier to do! I'm finding it tough to calorie count...sometimes it's so time consuming to look it up, but I am trying to be healthier in my choices and control my portions. Small Success: Noticing that my stomach is getting smaller...i.e. don't need as much food to fill me up. It's nice to feel full faster and not over eat. Mess-Ups: Went out for Chinese food, (which is not so bad, b/c I controlled my portions...but I have no idea how to count those calories). BUT after dinner we went to the movies and I had half a big bag of peanut M&M's :o( Perhaps the culprit of not bringing me down the extra .5 pounds?! |

Hi There...I'm in the same boat. Started CC on Monday, have been following my calorie intake of around 1200 a day and started doing Tae Bo (twice) and about 150-200 situps a day and bam...I put on 1.5 pounds?!? This is only the fourth day...so hopefully, it's just a weird fluctuation and I'll see results by the weekend. But if anyone has another explanation, I'd love to hear it. |

Hi weddingmama! Thanks for the advice. Yes, small portions and small snacks are always a good idea. I have found a few sites online that have some more varied calorie counters (thedailyplate.com) to help with this as well. I think I'm going to get some trail mix to keep at my desk at work for those hunger pangs. Also, feeling a bit discouraged today. Since I started on Monday, I went up 1.5 pounds!! I've totally been following my calorie restrictions and have been doing Tae Bo and doing some situps in the morning before work and after my evening work out!! :o( |

Hi All, My name is Mansi and I would love to join a group like this. I'm 26 and would like to lose about 20 pounds as my wedding is July 3rd. I am currently at 141, but am hoping to get down to 120 for the big day. I'm quite the foodie, so I find it very difficult to calculate the calories in Asian/Indian/Arabic etc. food. Does anyone have any advice? I don't really want to eat boiled chicken and salad for the next 6 months, but at the same time I will do what it takes. On Monday I started doing Tae Bo (Cardio Celebrity Fit workout) after work and 100 sit ups right after as well as 70 sit ups in the morning. It's only been 3 days, but I'm trying to keep it up. I have a small gym in my apartment building so I want to start using the eliptical again as well. I have been tracking my calorie intake on the website as well. I was hoping to be about 130 by Feb 6 (as I am also going to Cuba with some friends), but I know that might pushing it. Does anyone have any hunger combating advice!? Thanks! |
