Here I are!!

Anyway, I have no idea if everyone is still trying to lose weight but I'm posting today because I just want everyone to know that I am still losing weight. I am 1.5lbs away from losing 20lbs. We have exactly 1 month from today until our challenge ends and I honestly feel like it's really not a challenge anymore because no one is posting or seeming motivated. Those of you who still can and should be losing weight here is my shout out to you "GET UP AND GET MOVING." and give me some challenge!!!! I'll be posting again in hopefully less then a week letting everyone know the day I'm to my 20lb mark.

weigh-in

Well, I to joined weight watchers once again. Today was my 3rd week into the program and I weighed in at 181.4lbs. It's a total of 15 lbs since we started the challenge in January. Not as much as you Arah but I'm right behind you so we'll have to fight for the money in the end. Hope everyone else is still doing good and losing weight.

my computer is stupid...i wrote a post this morning and just noticed that it didn't eve show up...grrrr!
i went to WW this morning and lost another 2.4 lbs, which brings me to a grand total of 17.5 lbs. WHOOHOO! i am 1/2 a pound short of my goal this week, but i will take what i can get.
i hopw that everyone had a great week! DON'T GIVE UP! there areon 59 days till final weigh in, and I am looking forward to a bunch of $2o bills in my hand...hahaha....

Luna Bars

I just wanted to let you all know that Luna Bars are on sale for $.88 at yokes this week....and it's Fresh Friday so there should be good produce on sale...

I'm so happy!!

I am so happy to see everyone is still in this and losing weight and getting re motivated. I thought everyone had just said forget it during the month of February. I didn't exactly say forget it in February but I didn't reach my goal of 10 pounds. I actually only lost 2.5lbs the whole month. I really have no excuse except I didn't journal like I should. Last week I weighed and I was up 6 pounds which really freaked me out, but this morning I weighed and I'm down to 184.6lbs. I'm down a total of 12lbs. I'm thrilled with the number even though I wanted more, but I can't expect big #'s if I'm not doing to work. We have 2 more months until final weigh-in for the challenge and I'm going to really focus these months.
I ran my first 1/2 marathon on Saturday. It went well most of the way. It was really windy for the last 6 miles, so it felt like at times I was hardly moving the wind was blowing so hard. I felt like I was running with someone pulling be backwards at the same time. I finished and we had a really fun girl's day with my sister-in-law and friends. I'm prepping now for the SLC 1/2 marathon which is 7 weeks away. I can't wait for it because I'm going to be without kids for 4 days. I have not been away from both my girls over night ever, so I'm excited to get a few days to myself but also a little sad to be away from them. Keep up the good work everyone.

Im Starting over!

I dont have a good excuse for stopping but im starting over.....walking is out for a few weeks but my eating habbits have got to change....I guess ill start there....When you all work out do a little extra for me....Thanks!!!!!

I'm back

Yeah, i finally have internet hooked up. Anyway...I went to weight watchers this morning, not expectint to really lose anything, this week has been just really wacky. Anywho, I am down 2.2 lbs. (pat myself of the back) I am down a total of 15 lbs. I really want to lose another 5 this week, but I am not going to kill myself trying. I will try to go for 3 though. Good luck to you all this week. And I am so proud of you Lindsay for sticking it out and starting over and just getting back on track! Don't give up! You'll be so much happier and healthier. Love you guys!

Things are looking up...pounds are shedding!

My neice Kelly took me under her wing. She used to be a personal trainer and now is aprenticing to be a Pilates Instructor. I was going to try South Beach, but she gave me a little more advice. She told me that sometimes South Beach, can be to hard in the beginning that many people get discouraged and set themselves for up for failure. She said, "Not that you are going to fail!" And I totally get what she is saying! I started February 19th, counting calories, and have ruled out all whites (white bread and white sugars), and I ain't missing them. I have lost 8 pounds this week!! Kelly told me to stick to Calories and watch my fat intake, kind of like Weight Watchers, but without the points, and the weight will fall off. I am taking in 1200 Calories a day and not feeling deprived whatsoever. I am home which makes it a lot easier, I can get the hardest part out of the way before I get back to work. I thought 1200 Calories, THATS ALL? She said as soon as I work exercise in I can boost my calorie intake, but I am okay with that for now. I journal all my calories, and have stopped drinking those fatty "drinks", Arah you know what I am talking about!

Thanks for all of you support and I want you to know I will never give up! This means to much to me!

Love,Lindsey

I'm still kicking

Hey Everyone,
In answer to Arah's question. Here I am. I have been wondering the same thing. I'm still going strong. As of today I am down 11.6lbs. Not as great as you Arah, but I'm still keeping up. I am doing my first 1/2 marathon on March 1st, so I'm getting a little nervous. Thoughts like have I prepared enough, will I make it. Anyway, I'm still on the weight loss journey. I hope everyone else is of course.

Hello....

is anyone out there?
I went to weight watchers while in Utah...good for me (pat on the back) and I am down a total of 13 lbs. YEAH! My clothes are startingto get big and I actually want to exercise and keep busy.
You all haven't given up yet have you?

Yeah! I went to Weight Watcher's yesterday and I lost two pounds this week. I am down a total of 10. I am hoping to lose another 8-10 lbs. this month. That would make me sooo happy.
I know how Cindy is doing, what about everyone else? Don't give up people!!!
Arah

It's been a month

Well, today is our 1 month mark of our official start date. I weighed in today and I am down to 186.4lbs. I only lost .8lbs since last week, but I'm thrilled because I have lost 10lbs total and my goal is to loss 10lbs a month, and I have succeeded the first month and I will continue to succeed the rest of the months. I hope everyone is keeping up with their goals and if they aren't don't give up. Every day is a new start and every month is a new start. Keep up the good work.

ok, I hope that starting Weight Watchers is not cheating, but I'm not paying for it, so it doesn't count. I did realize that I hadn't been eating enough though, and now I am having a tough time getting all my points in. Isn't that a sad...I haven't been eating enough?
I hope to lose weight this week. Maybe WW will make all the difference. I know that if you don't eat enough, your metabolism shuts down and hangs on to the calories. So I am hoping I can jump start my metabolism again. It has helped staying at my parent's house because my mom and I can do it together.

Do Overs!

I have fallen off the wagon. I have been really stress out lately, with Sam's upcoming surgery, and when I am stressed I EAT!!! I know that is a silly excuse but I am here blogging, when I shoud be walking. My whole family is sick, except me, I am not allowed to get sick. Sam is waiting to here back from the doc. on his culture, they swabbed him for the FLU type A. He is miserable, and we need to get him well befor Wednesday. His cough is what worry's me the most, I don't want him splitting open stitches! Chloe is be treated for Bacterial Phnemonia. FUN HUH?

So I am pleading will all of you speedy weight losers, to be patient with me. I guess I feel at times that I have so much to lose, that I back down so easily and eating what I want is EASIER! I do want to feel better about myself, and I know "losing it" would be the key. I am actually going to buy a scales this weekend, I need to be more aware, so if it closer to me the better, contrary to what I have said in my earlier posts. Well I love all of you and this week is going to be a crazy one. I will be in touch.

Love, Lindsey

I won;t be making it to the mall at 7am. I will be there about 8:15-8:30. So you are welcome to join us. If not, see ya when I see ya.

I'm still here...

Sorry i haven't posted. If you read my blog you would understand why...I'm not giving up or anything, in fact, if your all up for walking tomorrow morning at 7am. I will be there. It will be the first day this week. I figure with all the moving and cleaning, I have definitely got my excercise in. I haven't got a scale to weigh on for a couple of weeks, so, I will let you know as soon as I get in out of storage...wouldn't it be awesome if I was down about 10 more pounds by then? Let's hope!

1 more

My computer is down right now so thats why i havent posted...I weighted in on wednesday and im down a pound also...11 down 39 more to go!!!.......

where is everyone

Hey girls. What is going on. No one has posted all week and I'm a little worried. I hope everyone hasn't given up after girls night out. Usually everyone posts there progress throughout the week. I'm curious. I weighed today and I'm down another pound yah. I'm out of the 190's finally. Anyway, I'm hoping everyone is still doing well and keeping up on this fun journey of weight loss. I'm hoping to hear from everyone soon

Welcome Laura

I have brought another weight loss friend to the flock. Laura is my friend from Utah. We have been friends for forever. Anyway, she wanted to join and be a part of the weight loss challenge. I told her to put a picture of herself up and her stats but she's kind of chicken, so don't be shy Laura. Anyway, I also wanted to let everyone know that I joined another weight loss challenge with some girls from the Pines ward and we are doing the $20 each pot. Today is our start date and we are getting together every Monday to weigh in together so I'm going to change my weigh day to Monday because I think if I weigh on Mondays weekends won't be so hard for me. I did ok this weekend. We are going until May 1st. I figured the more money I could win when I drop the most weight come May 1st and May 7th the more new clothes I can buy. Anyway, I like to talk trash. Also, I have been trying out some new things that are low calorie and good. Luna bars are on sale at Albertson's this week 10 for $10 and they are 180 calories per bar. I eat them on the mornings I work for breakfast and they keep me statified until lunch. They are so good. They have lots of fiber, protein, and added vitamins and minerals. Also, the new nabisco candy bites 100 calorie bags are really good and a great sweet fix. Lean Cusinine just came out with flatbreads sandwiches and I had one for lunch yesterday it was good and only 300 calories. Anyway, just some ideas. Everyone keep up the good work. Life is great!!

Another one bites the dust

\Well, despite my bad weekend last week. I am down another pound. I am totally happy with that because I had a good week except I felt really weak during my work-outs and just like I was dragging all week. Anyway, week 3 will be good. I can feel it. Thanks for the great walk this morning Lindsey, Arah, and Arah's mom. It was fun. Good eating to everyone and see you at Girl's night on tuesday.
