Jbean, I'm with Tess on this one...save your money and just try to eat healthier. I did NutriSystem for a while in 1987, I lost weight, but once I quit eating their food, it came right back on, just like so many other programs. And it was expensive back then, I can't even imagine what it is like now. IMO, the best program out there right now is Weight Watchers because you can eat whatever you want if you keep it to a limit, you don't have to take pills, or eat freeze dried food, or anything like that. I lost weight on that last year and will definitely use it again once this baby comes. It's all about healthy choices! Good luck to you!

(Tess, yikes! Glad everything turned out okay!)

Nancy, you are doing awesome! Congratulations!

It's Monday, almost forgot to check in.
Weinermr, good job with losing the 6 pounds. I think I found it times 3!
The scale says I lost 1 pound and I think that is mostly due a full Sunday of manual labor and a heat index over 100°F. Between working on a hardwood floor and digging lots of holes for my wife to plant stuff, I think I made up for a so-so week of eating. We'll see what is says next Monday.
I did actually bring my lunch to work 3 times (which is 3 times more than usual :)), so if nothing else I'm saving a little money. The other days were not so good. :(
Overall, I think I'm heading in the right direction, it just takes me a few weeks to ramp up
Congratulations to all the losers.

See you next Monday, or come visit in the Riddles thread.

Hi Nancy - super job! Bob, keep at it - you'll get in a rhythm and start losing a little at a time. Congrats to everyone else for sticking with it.

After 4 weeks I've lost 9 pounds, and I'm in a weight loss groove. I was going for 10, but I'll take the 9 now and make it up later. I haven't been exercising quite as much as I want to - I've been stuck to my desk all day at work every day - but I'm keeping at it.

Hooray everyone, and positive vibes for us all.

Nancy

oh bobbbb or weiner where are you this week?

I'm avoiding buying a new battery for the scale. This could take a while!
I don't think staying up until 3:30 AM the last few nights is helping anything.
I think I need to replace food with sleep, not the other way around. :)

I'll set an attainable goal of getting a new battery by next Monday.
Then I will see what damage BB3 has done!

I think my stomach is The Mole!

Hi!
I just started the SLIM FAST on Monday for the next 2 weeks. I just had a baby and would like to lose 10 pounds. I already lost 18 of the 21 pounds that I gained BUT my body looks very different and when I ocmbine that with the weight I wanted to lose before I got pregnant it adds up to 10 pounds!!!!!

I also started excercising Monday night. I have never done the Slim Fast but figured that it might give me a headstart until I regain my prepregnancy stamina.

How is everyone else doing?

Nancy, congrats on your weight loss!

I wish I could say the same. I have been working out faithfully for almost 3 months now and not one pound dropped. I've gone down a size in clothing, so I don't know what the story is! Very strange

Bob, MY stomach is the Mole! (it tells me so every night and wants to be feed lots of delicious snacks which I have no power over at all)

Nancy

Good Luck dans....I think the slim fast is doable--but obviously not the best way to KEEP it off..(but i'm sure you know that...)

There's lots of woman(i have one in my group) that do Weight watchers while breastfeeding..(i think lisa mentioned she's going to go back to that after she has her baby).....

I'm not "pushing" w.w.(think i'm a walking advertisement for it lately LOL)...but find what works for you and stick to it! :)

HI webkitty--well certainly the clothes are a BIG part of the picture..i've gone done 3 sizes in some things...and 2 in pants..my leader stresses NOT to get hung up on the scale..(i.e. if you gain one week don't so oh well and give up..say "that's ok i'll make it up next week)..

which is exactly what I did..for the last 4 weeks i lost 2 lbs then .8 then i gained .4 last week..and this week i LOST 4.2 .. :-)

Nancy

OH and bob--humm broken battery eh? well, i guess its better than a broken tummy or arm or leg LOL...

Hey i just found out i am officialy no longer Obese i'm just overweight NOW hehe.. :-)

Yes I am only going to do it for 2 weeks and then I will just watch my intake. I don't have a problem staying at a weight it's just those pesky last pounds that always get me!!!!!!!

I am breastfeeding too so it will also depend on how he reacts to it.

I am in really good shape considering that I just a baby 6 weeks ago! It's just easy to get frustrated when my old clothes dont fit me just right just yet and I have not shopped for new clothes in a year!

DAnzdol, congrats on the baby!
I drink Slimfast every morning before I go to work out. It don't like milk, so it has to been the kind you mix with juice, and that paticular type is getting harder to find.
Anyway, it works for me as far as keeping the hungries away until I can eat a salad in the afternoon.
I do good all day with my eating habits, dinner, fine, then after dinner I start to snack I try not to even buy things I shouldn't eat but then hubby starts complaining there is nother for HIM to snack on (he's lean, always will be, I hate him)

I have been working out (like mad) 5 times a week, I think I may addicted to it! Clears my mind and gives me energy for the rest of the day. (I'm also taking vitimens with iron)

I've cut out most carbs, (no more potatoes, pasta, rice and only whole wheat bread sometimes) I think its helping, I can get into a size 10 with room now, so something is happening but no weight loss! If I could just stop the snacking after dinner...................

The Slimfast thing, I have been on it for 2 months, it love it (the juice flavor) and don't want to give it up!
Does anyone know if its harmful to keep on it indefenitley?

Thanks...............

Hmmm I know about the snacking because that is my thing too. I would rather have snacks all day then an actual sit down dinner and of course my real down fall is DESSERT! Chocolate more specifically.

The night thing is hard. I used to be really really thin weighing 112 when I was on a dance team 2 years ago. It was easy because I used to eat breakfast and a big "dinner" portion lunch and then go to dance rehearsal. I would get home so late that all I would have at night was a snack (yogurt, bananas, cereal etc...) and that was the best to keep me lean. On the other nights I would not have dinner any later then 6pm and that was perfect.

It's harder now because my lifestyle changed.

Have you tried to have a bigger lunch then dinner. That way when you wake up you are starving and you can have a big breakfast and lunch and you have more time to burn the calories versus going to sleep after one big meal.......


It's great that you have been working out so much. It feels really good to do it huh?
