OK. Here goes.

I've been lurking in this thread ever since it started. I've been silently cheering everyone on, and gaining (bad word to use) alot of strength from everyone.

On December 17 I decided I needed to lose some weight, so I went on a diet. On December 21, we had our Holiday Party at work, and I promptly went off my brand new diet. Today I weighed myself, and found that I had gained 4 pounds since December 17. Yikes!!!!

Lurk no more. I'm now participating in this thread and will lose some weight.

Today I walked 1 mile. Progress will be reported as it occurs.

EXERCISE RESORTGIRL!

Weinermr!! I'm so glad you've joined us. Glad to see you over in the exercise thread, too. We're rapidly closing in on 2000 miles and we'll get there a lot quicker with your help. Pretty amazing, wouldn't you say? :)

oh--too tired for bedtime snack so scratch that off my list for today.

Yesterday: veggie sub, no mayonnaise, light cheese. The bread was a killer though. Maybe ask for an open-faced sub in the future?

Dinner: Yakisoba noodles with broccoli and carrots.

This morning/afternoon: Most likely an apple and a granola bar.

Was sore yesterday from working out. Dropped the kickboxing class. Too stressful to get over there on pre-teaching nights. Morning is better for working out anyway.

Walked for at least 45 minutes all over the OSU campus--very pretty, and if I go back to school, it will become a daily ritual.

Welcome Weinermr--our first male member? Way to go!

Oregon--Lance is a member also---just a low-key, under the radar sort of member. :) Do I want to know what a yakisoba noodle is?

I forgot to mention that yesterday's Dr. appt. showed me down by 11 pounds since we started this!! There was so much else going on at that appt. I completely forgot about that part.

Twigs--you are so right. This is taking eons!! That will be for the best in the end I suppose.

Ok tomorrow! I've had those remodeling blues AND I had to work today unexpectedly... No excuse I know... Tomorrow tomorrow I'll exercise tomorrow...

To be honest I got on the scale today and I had lost a pound so it took away some of my motivation, but I'll pig out tonight and get it back....

Even though I dieted yesterday, I consider yesterday Day 0, and today Day 1, because my official starting weight began today.

I walked about a mile at lunch today. I made the mistake of getting a group of co-workers and we all walked together. The only problem was they were all TOO SLOW! LOL I'm going to have to get independent again, and walk by myself, because I'll walk farther and faster that way.

Food today: I'm not in my "diet groove" yet, so I'm still feeling my way around what I want to eat every day. I know how I have to eat to lose weight, and I just have to get a routine going.

Morning: I had an apple and half an egg bagel plain.

Lunch: I had takeout chinese food, lots of vegetables, steamed rice, a little chicken, and very little oil. I ate about 1/3 of the rice, and probably should have eaten a little more.

Dinner: Some cheese, a banana, and a saute of broccoli and sweet onions, again, with very little oil.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. You've all been doing so well, you really have, and it gives me inspiration.

Today:

Breakfast/Lunch: Slept through breakfast so I had both combined--Slimfast shake and banana

Dinner: Mandarin chicken and white rice, juice Wasn't very hungry so only ate about half of my part. (I share one dinner with my daughter.)

Snack: left-over casserole from last night, juice

Just before bed: glass of milk

Today: Garden salad with vinagrette dressing

Shortly after, *another* salad, this time seafood, with the dreaded so fattening thousand island dressing, which pretty much cancels out the nutritional value of the salad.

Snack: Carmel corn rice cakes, very yummy, with the most amazing strawberry yogurt spread. But the problem with having yummy food in the house is that I always eat *way* more than my share.

No exercise today, but will head to the gym tomorrow. Clothes are getting looser on me, but the weight in pounds isn't much lower. Good luck all! (Lancecrossfire, please come out of the woodwork for a spell--you gotta represent :)!

P.S. Max, what is a frango?

P.P.S. Yakisoba are Japanese noodles, usually found in the vegetable section of the grocery store, near the tofu and such. They're okay, not really much to write home about. (I prefer udon, a much thicker Japanese noodle.)

Frango Information
They are yummy little mint chocolate candies. :) Actually, the ones I like BEST are mint, but there are other options, even coffee. I got hooked on these when I travelled to Chicago once and now it's dangerous 'cause I can buy them online!

I did an hour of Yoga ( a video called Yoga for Weight Loss) but... I am going to count the 3 hours that I have been upstairs scraping 6 layers of wallpaper of the ceiling as cardio and strength training... So I'm good for the rest of the week! LOL!

That sounds like an idea RG. I could do a video of yoga. It would be hard for me to join a class in it.

Twiggy, We live in the middle of nowhere so I have no choice but to exercise with videos. I am pretty motivated so I will do them (well except for this 3 week break) and that way you don't have to drive anywhere or shower or even take of your jammies. I love the yoga video, it's a workout but gentle on the joints. I try to do it twice a week.

I have been interested in trying yoga myself, I will have to check out the videos!

Ohhhh, I loooove Frango mints, we used to buy them at Frederick & Nelson when I was little. Someone gave me some for Christmas this year (Mint and Latte), they didn't last very long!

Yesterday:
Breakfast: latte, cereal
Lunch: 2 veggie dogs, salad
Snack: 5 saltines with a smidge of peanut butter
Dinner: Taco salad

Exercise: Walked/Ran 2 miles

Okay, I have an exercise question....The last three nights I have been on the treadmill I have been getting a really bad side ache on my left side, mostly in my ribs. I run a mile, then fast walk and drink some water, it's right after the first drink of water that it happens. I usually like to run more, but I haven't been able to, it's hard enough just to fast walk. Why is this happening? It used to happen occasionally, but 3 nights in a row seems weird to me. I exercise about 2-2 1/2 hours after I have had dinner. Can anyone help me? It is driving me crazy!

I got it from Target... are Targets all over the country? Anyway, "Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss"
With Suzanne Deason

She has three people doing it with her that are all at different levels so you can follow the person that is at the level you are most comfortable with.
