I could have been a lot worse this weekend if it hadn't been for this group! I kept remembering that first thing Monday morning I had to "weigh in". It really helped!
height: 5' 4"
starting weight: 124lbs (142 when I started caloriecounting)
current weight: 124lbs
goal weight: 117lbs
The scale was kind of erratic this week (it said 122.5 the other day, I swear! xD), but my eating wasn't that great either. Here's to the next weigh in though ladies! (...And gentlemen xDD)
height: 5'6"
starting weight: 128
current weight: 128
goal weight: 123
I'm getting married in the spring, so I'm on a budget to save for the wedding. Nothing in my closet fits right now, but if I lost 5lbs, everything would fit. I'm trying not to buy new clothes!
Well, It's Monday - here I go.
I am 5,4
starting weight 149
current weight 149
goal weight 140 (145 for this challenge)
I exercise a LOT so have quite a bit of muscle weight, only a little flab around the middle so I could never weigh as low as the charts suggest as my age, sixty, or I would look gaunt.
I have actually lost several pounds since I first posted on this thread last week in anticipation of having to post today. Love a challenge.
Good luck to all.
Will post again next Monday.

Ugh yesterday was my birthday so im carrying on an extra pound of water weight from brunch AND dinner...

I went home on Sunday and for once did not binge around my family. Prob because we were outside riding horse! :) So anyway how was everyone else's weekend?
Anyone else's plan?
My plan is to try to eat little meals throughout the day and make sure I have at least a 500 calories deficit. I am running a 5k on Saturday, so I will be in the final training stages for that this week which means some working out will take place. Also, I will do arms and legs strength training every other day M-Th. Friday is a rest day and then Saturday is the 5k.
I am super excited b/c it's my first 5k ever!
Hey betsyanne, we have horses too. We raise registered quarterhorses.
My plan is to eat well (not as much as cc recommends but that is because I know my own body's metabolism as I have lived in it for sixty years. ) I am eating NO junk at all, no chips, cookies, candy, cake, ice cream, nothing.
I also have given up diet soda (again) and really see a difference in the bloating of my midsection and my face. I also haven't been drinking any wine this week as an experiment (I usually drink a glass or so (tee hee) of red wine at night. Figured I would use the calories for food and maybe have a glass if we go out or something.
I drink a LOT of water, we live in the country so our well water is good.
I LOVE to exercise and I think that has been my biggest help in restarting my weight loss. I just have to find the time to do it. I have been listening to books on tape while I do the exercise bike (45 minutes a side so it works out well) The time goes fast and I get to "read" at the same time. I am currenly doing an old Danielle Steel one called Malice.
Last night we had pizza, I ate one slice - not four or five as I could have.There is really nothing we can't eat, just the right quantities. I just choose to eat good food right now and save the junk for parties, birthdays, etc.
Stay the course,
Sue.
Good Luck!
I've usually run a couple 5K's durring the summer. Its a fun race! Short and Sweet!
