Even though I did good on my exercise, my dh made his superbowl chili with all the fixin's and tah da, I'm 2 lbs heavier today than I was on Friday. I'm not going to stress about it but I'm getting right back on track.
Am I talking to myself?

Don't fret Denecee..I am up 1.5 lbs from Saturday...of course I think this is my time of the month coming up..so I will blame it on that. I still feel a bit better. I think I will measure myself today so see and start tracking my inches I do lose. I have not exercised like I did last week (not that it was much) but we have snow now so that takes me away from my walk/jog to the corner and back. Will have to find other things to get me going.

Skootz, are you drinking your water? LOL, I know you are. Yeah, I'm not too worried about that dang 2 lbs(I got on the scale today and I only have .1 of the 2 lbs still on). I love that scale so when my dd moves to Georgia, I'm going to have to buy me one.

Denecee, if you are going to buy a new scale you might want to look into one of those that measures body fat% and water% as well.

I found it helpful and encouraging when my weight hadn't changed for a while but the scale showed that the body fat% had either gone down instead or the water% had gone up

Yeah, my dh has been wanting one of those. Should I get it for him for V-day? Just kidding, I am a little more romantic than that, lol.
Thanks for the suggestion Buttercup!

First time for me in this thread but I wanted to share that I've been on a diet/workout regimine for about a month now.

Starting weight: 243
Weight as of today: 221

Not too bad. It's been really tough on me and my body hates me for it, but it was something I really needed to do. My goal right now is to get down under 220. With my height, my ideal weight is about 185 and I haven't weighed that since high school.

Yay! I tried on some capris today that didn't fit 6 months ago and they fit. Another weekend to deal with and it's going to be a hard one since I'm taking my friend out to dinner for her birhtday. I just need to be mindful of how much I eat.

woohoo Denecee, isn't it great trying on clothes that didn't fit and now do fit. I did the same thing yesterday and I now have some more pants that I am able to wear again.

I pigged out last weekend with company etc., and was really worried about this week weighing. I didn't weigh myself until mid week and again yesterday morning when I found out I am 13.5lbs off. On my way to the next size.

How are things going Nick?

WooHoo! Glad ya asked!

I went to the store yesterday to buy some new work out clothes because I'm tired of wearing the same sweat pants over and over...I bought size large which I'm used to and got home, tried them on and they were waaaay to big...I had to take them back and get Mediums! I haven't worn medium anything for several years!

Starting weight: 243lbs
Weight as of this morning: 213lbs

I am desperately in need of some motivation. I have hypothyroidism and take synthroid everyday, I have no thyroid function. I really rely on the meds and thrice weekly workouts to help even maintain my weight(which is too much to begin with). I find any deviation puts the pounds on regardless of what I eat, it's rather depressing. In December I broke my ankle and I have just now graduated to a cane and just feel like lethargic as I have gained some weight and don't know how to get back on track. Does anyone have any advice exercise wise (or diet wise to kick start things) for any exercise that is calorie burning with limited use in one leg?

Jasper- I see from your profile you are in Canada. Brrr... I don't suppose there are any indoor pools at a YMCA, university or highschool that you could swim in or a water-exercise class at a gym? Maybe your doctor might have some suggestions for what is safe for you to do right now without reinjuring your ankle?

Jasper, I have just gotten started on a weight program for the ten millionth time in my life. The hardest part is getting started. I had weight loss surgery 7 years ago, did not lose anywhere near the amount I wanted to or was supposed to, and have started gaining back (put on around 30-35 pounds). I had gone on a diet 2 years ago and then my house burnt down and so I lost control. I have just had knee surgery, was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and have problems with my foot. Soooooo to make a long story short LOL, I understand. First find out what exercise you can do without reinjuring your ankle. Anything is better than nothing. I just started this week and I am psyched. I feel invigorated about eating properly and, believe it or not, I lost 7 pounds in 3 days, (I know it is all water), but it is an incentive for me. Anyway, it is all in your mind, just psyche yourself up and you can do it. Once you feel better about doing something for yourself, the exercise and everything else will come along. Good luck.

I'm slowly but surely making progress. The main thing I am doing is just being very mindful of serving sizes and watching the scale.

Thanks all! Unfortunately there is no local pool (they are actual building a whole complex starting June this year) there is one in nearby Barrie, the issue for me right now would be the condition of the parking lots, I am lacking a lot of self confidence getting around, I am so afraid I'll fall. I have talked to my rehab girl and she said I could actually start on my stationary bike as tolerated, so I'll set my self up for that and see how it goes. Even if the snow was gone I live on a dirt road and it is pretty uneven so no walking here anyways.

Ginger I think I would have binged a little myself after all that, congrats on your 7lbs and who cares where or what it is, it's an incentive and great to see the numbers move.

I sent my dh with a list to shop and made sure he got me fruit and yogurt and lots of salad stuff, I'm going to really cut back on the white carbs and see how things go.

why dont you sign up for an ediets.com trial membership. I think they are for like two weeks, then you can cancel but you can have a daily motivator for two weeks. They have diet plans, exercise plans, other stuff.

After being stuck at 213lbs for what seemed like a month...I know, it's only been about 2 weeks...I weighed in this morning at 210lbs. I mean, wow...I dropped like 30lbs in no time at all, but those 3 pounds from 213lbs to 210lbs seemed like a life time. I never gave up, though. I kept working out and watching what I ate. I'm one happy puppy!

I was so excited that I shouted and scared my wife and the cats. I then celebrated by having a Hot Dog for lunch...not just any old hot dog, but the good ones that you can get at any convenience store/gas station. Man! Those are the best hot dogs and one of my guilty pleasures.

I then had Popcorn chicken for dinner...and took the night off from working out.

So tomorrow its back on the workout wagon and heres to getting down to 200lbs!

Hope everybody else is having good luck with their weight loss. Jasper, I hope you get to where you can work out like you want.

I did a weigh in at home this morning. I wasn't going to as I was in Toronto eating too many sweets on Friday and Sunday I was eating junk food. I figured I better weigh in to see the damage...well its all good. I am now down 14.50lbs. WOOOOOO HOOOOO I was happy to see that. I guess all the walking in Toronto and my new business is keeping me active..so thats a good thing.

To all the other losers....keep at it, you are all doing well...little by little.

Maris - I'll have to check that out, being told what to do for me is often helpful.

Good for you Nick and Skootz(I saw your pics of the TO trip and wondered why and where you planned on losing weight from, you look great!)

I am going to go back to the gym in a week and am going to work on strength and stretching for now, no standing cardio but my therapist says yes to the recumbent bike. I can get out and about by myself now and as long as the parking lots look good, I'm there.
