Master  2146    East Side of the Bay |  Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday SeasonMorning all! I've finally dropped below my starting weight. If I add the 1.5 lbs I gained when I switched scales that makes 2 lbs. Even if it's only 1/2 lb I'll take it. |

Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday Season I have been trying to notice my stress eating at work too. We have a lunch room at the office so I try to go in less often which helps with the walk by browsing & snacking calories. I have also been making lots of herbal tea. I think having something hot to sip on keeps me from eating too much. Other things that have been working for me include:

Pro 3730  NorCal | Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday Season Meals for me are a bit complicated during the work week. I'm in sales and basically my car is my office. Not having access to a microwave sucks! Some days I do remember to bring a salad with a cold pack and usually keep fruit in my car, but I need protein! Yesterday I went to Safeway to buy something for lunch and everything that is prepared is all processed and/or full of fat and/or lots of sodium, and/or sugar! Even the salads were horrible! They are full of cheese and I don't eat cheese. I got so frustrated I had a liquid lunch of a non-fat latte at Starbucks. I know it's not the best choice, but at least it had some protein in it, lol! |

Great advice Kathy! One thing I also try and do - don't beat myself up if I do have 1 too many treats. In the end it is the journey to the new weight that is important - not each individual step. I have hit my low point in a long time 174.5 on the scale this morning. That is post bike tour weight for me and my main point has been to skip snacking at night when I am bored. If I don't need the fuel for a morning workout - then I am not going to eat it! Great points from both of you! Thanks for the reminders and for jogging my awareness of eating habits. |

Getting enough protein is one of my issues too. I have been eating Builder Bars for the protein but is a rather lot of calories as a snack and I am trying to eat real food for meals (not always successfully). Could you cook up some chicken breasts on Sunday night and then keep some sliced meat ready to go into a cooler to add to a salad? I have also never tried those sealed pouches of tuna but it is shelf stable so that might be another option for the road. We have a lot of sales folks come through our office. It is a very hard lifestyle for healthy eating! |

What about a protein bar to go with the fruit? I have some Vegan bars which are made with almond butter, very tastey, but I get bored on bars, lol. I'm not a fan of protein bars, too many chemicals. |

I think one of the best things to do to lose weight is to have a plan and it sounds like you've thought this through. |

| Expert 671 | Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday Season In order to ensure I have blocked out my lunch for a run starting next week, I set an outlook appointment in my calendar every day for 11am. Now I don't have an excuse to not get up from my computer and go for a run. One step to success is to plan my success. 199.8 this morning. |

| Expert 671 | Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday Season I found another positive from this weight loss challenge. I have a correlation between weight loss and exercise. Look at these graphs...my weight loss and gain is tied to my level of activity. When I run, I lose weight, when I don't run I gain weight. |

| New user 31 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Challenge: Weight Loss During the Holiday Season Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't checked in much. I just have been so busy. 'Tis the season... 120.6 today. I'm getting close! I just need to avoid the (store bought) cookies at our caroling tonight and limit myself to the (yummy homemade) cookies at a Friday night cookie exchange. My workout plan includes 6x per week: 1 spin, 2 yoga, 1 strength training & 2 walk/run. Congratulations to everyone who is losing and maintaining! Both of those are so counter culture that you deserve extra kudos! I think most people stick their heads in the sand until New Year's resolutions come around or complain but don't do anything about it. I have done both of those in years past. Have a great day!

I actually had never been to the WW website before (I can't believe it myself knowing what kind of mind I have! ). I opened it up at work and instantly saw some R rated photos. Yikes....good thing we don't have any web restrictions! Something I'll have to browse from home for sure. |
