let's start a weight loss club!

[Justine]

I would join too. I need to keep motivate to go to the gym.

same.

[kaela]

goals made:
kaela are going to try to going to try to get out and exercise
cait
anyone else? these are not about climbing tall mountains. they can be small things that make a big difference to you. ex cut out midnight snack.
or only eat one or two half moons and not 4(oops i do that)

[caitfoster]

So I figure we all want to join the weight loss group but none of us have taken the inititive to form it fully. So here we go!

This week I figure it isn't unreasonable to take 3 walks, at 15-20 min each. Also eating a healthy breakfast everyday (I know many of you are guilty of that, me especially), and finally taking at LEAST one half hour to ourselves to destress. We deserve it!

So post on the weight loss thread about how you are doing with these three simple things that will make you feel oh so good, and next week maybe someone else can add to the first set of plans. We can all do this!!!

Let me know how things go!

ok....I dug out my pedometer and managed a 22 minute walk (note to self - check batteries in walkman before next excursion) and I have now added and extra 1,754 steps

[puddin57]

AND ate only 3 rolls of Rockets instead of my usual 8 rolls

[caitfoster]

Yea!!!! Well done!!!

[puddin57]

OK...I lied....I snuck one more roll of Rockets....but now I've moved the bag of candy out to the garage, so it will now require a bit more effort the next time I have one, and it turns into 10

[crumpet]

I haven't started yet. Rather, I HAVE started, then stopped again my weight loss plans. Today being Sunday, I will start afresh with cait's plan tomorrow, and post on how it goes! Cool idea cait!

[Milton4doe]

I'm starting tomorrow and will post. My goal is to loose 15lbs

[puddin57]

ok....the healthy breakfast challenge,eh?....1 cup light Silk soy beverage (70 calories), 1 tbsp Benefibre and 1/2 banana, whisked (or blender mixed) into a shake type of drink...then I ate the other half of the banana

I'm hoping that will hold me until lunch

[caitfoster]

I ate an omlette today with a bit of chopped bacon and veggies. I'm proud that I actually ate breakfast. Tomorrow it is off for a brisk walk. The rain has prevented that for the last two days. Even the dogs don't want to go outside to pee it is so misrable out!

Gonna do some situps tonite though to make up for the missed walk today.

[rachel1496]

So I had a decent breakfast and took two 25 minute walks. I think I canceled it all out with the leftover birthday cake and chocolate ice cream I had after lunch. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

[kaela]

i walked twice. once for 30 minutes and once for 15. i ate breakfast twice i thought i would get sick but i managed. i was hungry all day, really hungry. it was terrible. i am going to need help with that now. i bought halloween candy that i couldn't eat. gum(tmj) and chocolate(allergic), i won't be snacking on that. i took the clothes off my exercise bike, it is officially a bike again. i am not ready to make that goal yet.

[kaela]

walked this morning, fine. i made a decision though i will never be a breakfast person. as long as i eat before 10am i will be fine. an early breakfast makes me sick, and then later on in the day ravenous. my bike still hasn't graduated to a piece of fitness equipment.

[karalin9]

This is a great idea! I have about 30lbs of baby fat that has taken up residence in my a** and thighs

I'll be going for a walk today, and had frosted flakes for breakfast... i don't think that qualifies as a healthy breakfast... I'll do better tomorrow.

Good job everyone for taking initiative! I can't wait to see how much we can lose.

Cait, you should do a weekly weigh in with everyone and post how much we've lost put together... Seeing the numbers might help motivate us.
