Pamy, you are a real inspiration to me in the Workout thread. Congrats on your weight loss. Nyheat, you're kicking it! Keep up the good work! My loss is 3.5 pounds. It wasn't 4 like I thought (mom's scale weighs me in lighter than mine), but then I didn't really get serious until Monday of this week when I went back to work. It is nice to see the number going down and I've also gotten active again. I'm focusing on a lower carb diet and also counting calories. That seems to work really well for me and the focusing on lower carb, higher protein helps nip in the bud my tendency to binge.

Well, I'm not doing too well. LOL I wanted to give up calorie counting and just try to eat only when I'm hungry, but that's not working at all. I just don't want to have to count calories all my life. I just wish I could eat when I wanted, not eat when I'm not hungry, and know when to stop. LOL Today I started calorie counting again to try and get back on track. Also, I've got to get back into the gym. Funny story, I know that while I haven't gained many of inches around my waist, my boobs have! I tried on a dress last night that I wore in 2006 to a ball, and while it fit everywhere else, my ladies looked like they were trying to claw their way out and escape. hahahaha

Lol, Neko! You know laughing is good for your abs, right? I have the same wishes you do. I get so tired of counting calories. I do good with portion control and exercise most of the time. I have made many positive lifestyle changes. I wish we all could meet at a fat camp, too! Good luck to everyone this week.

Neko, I noticed that after counting calories for awhile, it just becomes 2nd nature. You will get to where you don't even have to look at the package or in a book to see how many calories in your meal.

I've lost 2 more pounds for a total of 5 1/2. Small steps ... I'm okay with counting calories and writing things down, only because it all feels new to me right now since it has been a couple of years since I last did this. I feel hopeful. I have a long way to go, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Today is day 2 of actually going to the gym. I have a membership to a gym, and was able to get a friend of mine in on a free 5 days pass, so we'll be working out (hopefully) for 5 days together. It'd actually been fun. It hasn't made me push myself anymore, at least with respect to cardio (she's a runner, so there's no way I could keep up at any point LOL) but it's been fun. I'm starting to WRITE DOWN my calories now, cause I tried to just keep them in mind instead, but that didn't work. LOL

My girlfriend and I are thinking of signing up for Boxercise this fall... now she's a runner and I'm a sitter so I'm pretty sure I'll be eating her dust...

ROL Neko,Dahli, YAH to all loosers including Nyheat, Pam, Hermi, Neko... Maki, I would love to go to a fat camp! My weigh-in today showed a gain. Less than a lb but I am still up 1 lb 183.2 since 3 weeks ago. Too much eating out in restaurants this weekend and not enough exercise. Plus late yesterday afternoon, I stupidly dashed over to my purse hanging near our front door and banged my upper left foot just around the baby toe. I have soreness when I move my toes but I applied ice right away which helped but it will now be couple days before i get on my eliptical machine again. Anyway, today I signed up with Weight Watchers for their Fall special. I have until January 24th, 2009. I really hope I show some great results by then. I am not making my goal of 175 lbs that I gave myself to reach by August 31st. A good week ahead to all!

sending positive energy out to my loser buddies! I haven't weighed myself for a while, it's that time of the month for me so I think I will wait a couple more days.

Boxercise sounds like fun. I love kickboxing, but I think it would do me in if I tried it now! The best part about kickboxing is it is great for anger management. Just picture the faces of the people who are pissing you off as you do the jabs and uppercuts and kicks! My favorite exercise ever was running, but that was many pounds ago. Maybe later this fall after some weight loss and more strength from exercise I can try running again. I've been weighing myself every day, lol, which really, isn't the best because of water fluctuations in the body, but I think I have gotten obsessed. Gilda, I'm sorry you won't reach your goal, but you will get there soon!

Lol, I just noticed there hadn't been any posts for a few days and don't want everyone to drift away. We had company for nine days, ate out a few times, went to a festival, spent a night in a hotel, and managed to keep up with my exercising. We even did a short cardio workout in the crummy hotel fitness room. My sis-in-law and I went out and picked blueberries one afternoon. That's the good news. The bad news is we ate out a few times, ate festival food, ate blueberry pie and muffins. You get the picture, lol. I had a small gain, a pound or 2. I am back on track today. (The day is young, but my intentions are good. ) Happy Labor Day! I like that, Pamy. Everybody should be able to lose at least 1 lb. this week. Good luck, fellow losers!

Congrats to everyone here who is TRYING to do well, those who are doing well, and those of us who at least pop in here and feel welcome even though we may not be doing so hot (like me). Since I'm sick this weekend and barely eating, MAYBE I'll lose an ounce or two.

Thx Denecee! Hang in there, hon! Keep the faith. (I need to repeat that to myself too about 2 dozen times a day. LOL) This cold/flu/bronchitis/whatever the heck it is, is sticking to me like glue for the time being. Planning to weigh myself at the doctor's today, if I don't forget...

Pamy, I took your prayer as a challenge, and lost 1.4 lb this week. I looked at fitday.com, where I used to record all my food and exercise last year. On one day last fall, I was at 140 lb. It's funny, I hadn't remembered hitting that goal. Now I just need to re-lose this 8 lbs to get back there again. I'm feeling discouraged and hopeful at the same time. A guy I know was at the gym this morning. He hasn't worked out all summer. He looks so much less fit than he was just a few months ago! He said he gained 20 lbs back. He just reinforced my commitment to keep working out, no excuses. (((MameB))), I hope the doctor can help you kick whatever you are suffering from. Good luck to everyone this weekend.

Today I grabbed a takeout salad from a place next to my school and saw all these overweight people eating hot dogs and french fries for lunch and I just thought, "I don't want that to be me anymore." I'm really trying to be more conscious of my choices and tell myself I want to be healthy and in good shape more than I want those french fries. When I eat a lot of greens and protein choices, I'm not as hungry either. Seems like the more junk I eat, the hungrier I am. I've only lost 6 1/2 pounds so far, but I feel better already. Mak, you will get there again! Pamy, no, still haven't joined the "Y" yet. Maybe I will go there tonight and join. At least I am working out, though, which is more than I could say a month ago!
