Merry Christmas to Yourself Challenge (Page 5)

Hi everyone,
I'm a lurker around here, but you've all inspired me to join this challenge if it's not too late.  This is exactly the time of year I need people to hold me accountable for what I'm eating and how much I'm training.  And, I need some motivation to stay on track to run my first marathon in December and maybe be a little faster than usual!

I'm starting at 152 lbs - 9/29

Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!  Good luck everyone!

Start 163.4lbs 19.7 bf

today 167.7lbs 20.2 bf

Gained weight due to bad weekend of lots of eating/drinking.  On the god side I had lots of good workouts last week.  Need to eat right and let the cardio take care of the weight.

Bad weekend for me also

It appears that I haven't posted here for two weeks. It has been a very productive two weeks for me. I am down 7lbs!! Lots of cycling and calorie counting is doing the trick.

I am at 287lbs this week. After my vacation I am still three pounds away from my goal for the week, but I'll take this result!!

10/6 - 223 - Went to camp for week-end.  Push-aways worked OK...

Same as last week, but not too suprised. We had company over the weekend, which always makes it hard not to eat too much. I also haven't been logging my food since I don't have easy internet access. I have a half mary next Sunday, so I'm going to try to be careful with what I eat but I always seem to be up a couple pounds after races. We'll see what happens next Monday

Congratulations to everyone who lost this week!!! Keep up the fight everyone!

Last Week - 152

This Week - 151.4  

I'm really happy to be down .6 pounds after having company for the last 5 days.  I love to cook and having people to cook for is a powerful temptation to overeat!  

Does anyone have suggestions for how to deal with post-workout hunger without eating too much?  I'm running around 25 miles per week now, increasing mileage toward my Dec. 7 full marathon and I'm finding myself almost constantly hungry.  I've increased the number of fruits and veggies I eat each day, but I seem to be really hungry for several hours after I run or bike.  I'd really appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

I find that yogurt and berries are filling and seems to hold my hunger for quite a while.

Starting weight: 218

Last week: 217

Today: 214!!!

Keep up the good work everyone! Everyone has good weeks and bad, so just get back into it after those bad hours, days or weeks =)

Starting weight 197

Last week 196.5

Today 10/6 I weigh 195....1.5 pounds down

So we'll see how I do this week.  Excited about the weight loss, but it may catch up with me.  I indulged in a little wine over the weekend.  Well, maybe more than a little...try almost a whole bottle!!!  I NEVER DO THAT!!!Seriously. I know, I know, shame on me.
