Congrats, Denecee!

I weighed in Saturday morning at 207lbs. Getting closer to my goal of getting under 200lbs!

Gads, and to think...I thought I carried my weight so well! LOL!

So, I was way more overweight than I ever thought!

Starting weight: 243lbs
Weight as of Saturday March 4th: 207lbs

I have lost 11 pounds in the last 3 weeks. It is hard when I can't do as much exercise as I would like to do, but I am determined to lose weight and take the pressure off my knee, back and heel. LOL, maybe I should just lay down

Everyone here is doing so great. Jasper..thanks for your comments..but trust me there is a lot to lose lol.

Nick, that is awesome you are almost to your goal. It is funny how we think we can carry the weight well until it kinda sneaks up on us and it is too well carried lol

Ginger 11 lbs is awesome too. Nothing wrong with that.

Denecee...don't fret over having some cheesecake..you need to have a few sweets now and again. (all in moderation) because I have had a bit now and again and then I don't feel so deprived of this food. (I am still enjoying a beer or a glass of wine or two on the weekend. Just not eating after supper really helps too.

So for me, well I was at 18.5lbs lost at the beginning of the week, now with being sick yesterday, I weighed myself and I am at 22lbs lost. woohoo. Just have to keep at it.

Thanks Skootz! and Congrats on your loss so far! And Congrats to Ginger and Nick too!

My goal for the weekend is to lose not gain! I know that is the goal for the week too but I tend to get lazy on the weekend.

I actually weigh half a pound more than I did last Friday, so my goal for this weekend is to lose that half a pound!

I can't seem to get under 204lbs. It's getting discouraging...Sure, I've had a couple of bad days with my diet, but nothing to outrageous and it's not like I've gained 10lbs. or anything like that...I'm so close to getting to my goal of 200lbs. and I haven't seen 200lbs in , at least, 10 years. Sometimes I wonder...what more do I have to do. I'm finally getting used to the workouts and the walking...should I step up my workouts a notch? Run, instead of walk? If I eat any less...I fear I may become anorexic (I know its an exageration, but I'm desperate) and I can't seem to get rid of the belly...though it's not near as big as it used to be...sheesh.

Oh well, it's only been 2 months.

Nick, you're doing a great job. It sounds like you've hit a plateau now. The experts tell us to get off the plateau, you do need to step up your workouts. You said you're getting used to the workouts and walking, so it isn't as challenging to your body now. Sometimes just changing up the workout helps to get the pounds moving again. Increasing the amount of time you spend on cardio (walking) is supposed to burn more belly fat.

I know how discouraging it can be when we hit the plateau, but just keep doing the good things you're doing and it'll be okay. (This pep talk is for me right now, too.) Good luck!

eta: I just noticed in the workout thread that you're already doing 40-60 minutes of treadmill, which is the maximum recommended. Can you do bigger incline on the treadmill? That burns calories much faster than walking on a flat surface. Also, you could try interval training, where every so often you run or jog for two minutes (or longer), then return to the walking, alternating that pattern for a while. It keeps your heartrate up to its peak burning power. If you'd rather not run, you can alternate walking with really high inclines for a few minutes at a time.

Thanks Mak1 for the advice and I have been doing the interval thingy. I'll walk a few minutes then run till I can't run anymore...then walk...then run.

Believe it or not...for my cardio workouts...I ordered the Biggest Loser workout DVD and have been doing that every day. It has 4 levels of workout and I do the low and high impact the most. They have a bootcamp workout on there...I need to do more if it. Either that or buy a more intense workout video for use in the home.

But I am feeling a bit sheepish, because after last nights poor-me-pity-party...when I woke up this morning and weighed...I was at 202lbs.

Go figure!

Yay for losing 2 more lbs! Is the bootcamp real intense and painful?

Not really...I mean it wears ya out, especially if you're not used to it. The first few times I tried it...I was worthless afterwards, but I can pretty much get through all of it now.

It gives you the option of using weights or no weights with the boot camp. I use the weights, but I'll admit it is tough. Its fun to watch the Biggest losers (Drea, Matt, Gary, Seth, Suzy and others I can't remember the names) struggle with the workouts, but it's also a motivator because it's real people doing the workouts and not pumped up models.

Thanks for the report on the BL video.

It amazes me to see how quickly the contestants get into the workouts. Most of them come on from sedentary lives, very out of shape, and are doing those killer workouts right off the bat.

Well, I have gained a pound. I had a feeling as I totally pigged out this weekend (2 meals of 2 hambergers (they were the first bbq'd ones of the year) - so back to the grind and a little more portion control.

Well I have now lost 14 pounds, it is coming off very slowly - but better than gaining it.

Well, last Friday I got weighed and measured at my gym. I'm sticking to the bike for now for the cardio. I'm going to stay off the circuit for another couple of weeks until my balance feels good. Today I did the bike for 30 minutes, 5.6 km, not too shabby, I've brought that up in a week and half from 2.2 km.

As well at home we have a Nautilus bike that I am looking to trade in for the recumbent style that I use at the gym, so much easier on the knees, ankles and my butt!

Congratulations to everyone on their success. I hope to have an "I lost" message soon.
