Last Week:304
This week :305
Meal Tracking: No (4 out of 5 days)

I recently (june) made an effort to change my eating habits. I was eating lots of fast food, basicaly just out of convienience and lazyness. Lunch at work, and grab dinnner on the way home. The thing that has helped me change my habits/eat heather has been planning ahead. pack lunch everyday, and plan for dinner. I also make sure to have a good suplly of fruits and veggies around for snacking.

130.7 so UP by 0.9 pounds.... haven't been cheating but have had a slightly easier week exercise wise. this could be due to
a) normal daily fluctuations
b) period in a couple of days time
c) increased carbs from around 33% to 40% the last couple of days for race on Sunday
d) fat gain

unfotunately also missed on my secondary goal of getting to swimm coaching as i have had two plumbing crises the past two days ! its leaving me a little stressed...

ah well another week is about to begin

I have always had pretty clean nutrition but one thing very new this past two years as i have developed greater health and fitness has been undertsnading how important healthy fats are. I love my NP, almonds, olive oil, olives, avocadoes, caschews, sesame oil, pumpkin seeds etc

Great job everyone!

Current weight 127.5, down from 128.5 last week (and 129 starting).

I did manage to avoid too much mindless eating, but I still got into trouble at the end of the day when I haven't had anything since lunch, and I get home and I'm starving and feel like eating everything in sight. And of course I feel too weak to work out!

My goal this week is to enjoy the BBQ in Memphis, but moderately .

My tip is to try to eat at least 1, preferably 2 fruits or vegetables at every meal.

barqhead - 2007-10-12 7:09 AM Looks like everyone has had a great week so far. And Kristen, maintaining is a good week! Last week - 146 This week - 145.2 Even though it's only .8, I am very happy because I ate lots and lots of really bad things when we went out of town last weekend. I am excited to be posting a loss. Goal 2 - I slipped a bit on Wednesday and started binging because we were having a late dinner. I caught myself, drank a big glass of water and chewed gum until dinner was ready. So, not a total loss. Still have to really watch it between 4-6. Tip - Track what you eat. If you bite it, write it. It is amazing how much all those little nibbles add up. I think this also helped stop me in mid- binge as I was entering the third item in the computer to my list of snacks. Even though it is hard, especially when you've over eaten, own up to it and write it down. You can look back and see where you've gone astray and try to get back on track! Pam

and, if you nibble it, scribble it - lol

i couldn't agree more!

Late, late late!!!! I didn't make it to the computer in time yesterday. I'm up from last week, as I predicted. I really have to make sure that I'm drinking water all the time so I get accurate numbers!!! Anyway, this week I'm at 195.
2nd goal didn't happen either...I am going to try this week to just get some crunches in, rather than tackle the bigger goal of "strength training." See if I can work my way up to more body parts! ;-)

This is our 2nd week, and we're going to New Years...but it may just continue on beyond that - this is actually a continuation of an earlier New You in 90 Days that started...well, 90 days and 2 weeks ago.

We weigh in on Fridays, but I don't update the charts until Monday sometime, so any weekend weigh in will work.

Happy to have you join us, if you want!!! The more the merrier!

OK, folks...here is the week 2 preliminary spread sheet. Let me know if something is off.

Congratulations to everyone. Even though some of us had disappointing weeks (either gaining back a pound or maintaining), we're all still making progress. Congrats to Ten9T6, Momandmd, and LastCall2003 for making their secondary goals!!!

For week 3, why don't we shoot for getting 100% of our secondary goals - it can only help, right???

No worries - the 18 pounds was very impressive although a bit frightening.

I'll fix the chart soon.

Okay, I'm back. I drove MA to NM last week, and changed scales, but it went the right direction. So on my scale here at home, I'm at 161! I only worked out once during the 8 day trip, but now that I'm back I have a kid-swap exercise schedule with a neighbor for 4 days a week, and indoor-with-toddler workout plans for Saturday. So I'm down 4 lbs from the beginning, (I'm going to trust the new scale!) and I'm pretty much starting fresh with my 90% workout goal.

My favorite weight loss tip is really an all-around change in my way of thinking: every little bit helps. So just because I eat too many slices of pizza doesn't mean I should throw in half a bag of chips and some ice cream-- it sounds crazy (or familiar) but I really used to think that way. Now, when I "mess up," I stop, adjust a little with extra exercise or fewer treats, and move on. No sense beating myself up for something that's done. This reminder has helped me with overeating, with motivating myself to train (running is better than walking, but walking is better than sitting around!), and with housework and schoolwork and anything that seems overwhelming.

That is quite the drive that you made last week. I am sure it is good to be back home. As for your description of your previous rationalization about junky binges... oh, yeah, I have been there in the past.
The good thing is knowing that you are in control and that a couple slices of pizza don't need to be followed by a Ben & Jerry's Pint chaser!
The biggest mind shift for me has been that food is fuel. Some of the fuel tastes fantastic, of course... but it is still fuel. As with a vehicle... too much fuel floods the system, with similar adverse affects.
