Let's Get Great in 2008

Happy Friday All!

I lost 2.6 lbs. this week. I am at an even 200 lbs!!! I haven't been under 200 in about 4 years! I am so excited about next weeks weight in!! Pushing for 3 lbs next week.

Confession time....

I backslid yesterday. I found out I didn't get a promotion that I was up for at work, and the whole day I was kind of down. I craved carbs. too. I realized that my eating is a result of emotion. I had a medium helping of spaghetti, a bag of sour cream and onion lays, and a few fork fulls of mashed potatoes (not all at the same time). It was so interesting how my emotions dictated my craving. I haven't wanted any of that stuff for a while, and as soon as I start feeling bad, my desire for foods changed..... And to top it off, I didn't exercise yesterday

But, I'm back on track today. Exercised first thing this morning, and started out with my water. Back to 1200 calories a day and no eating after 7pm.

Stay positive

Congrats!! WOW. Did you read the post a few days back on how our hormones can effect what we eat? I think we were talking bout emotional eating....anyways all that matters is your down

I haven't been this low in years as well, hubby told me las night my body is "reshaping" it self. LOOKING GOOD!!I'm pushing for three pounds as well. I want to be under 200lbs sooo badly, it's going to be such an accomplish....I've not been doing so well on the water, which is probably hindering my weight loss as well, I think i'm going to leave out the weights for a while I need that visual from the scale, I'm working too darn hard not to see more progress.

WTG!

Congrats to you as well. OK... we are going to keep each other on track this week for a 3 lb loss!

I hear you on the weights. I don't use them right now. I do however have these gloves I wear when doing aerobics. They have what feels like sand in them, not too heavy, maybe 1lb each, but it's just enough resistance when doing aerobics to help with the shape of my arms.

Water is very important. Helps you keep that full feeling throughout the day. I didn't drink much yesterday, and that probably didn't help. Are you counting your calories? I never thought that was useful until recently. And I find that if I stay under 1200 calories, I drop almost a half pound a day. So, I swear by it now. And it helps you learn portion size.

Good luck to everyone in meeting their goals for the next week. One step at a time.

Not since I stopped weight watchers I had the points of my most fav foods memorized, so I just stopping using it. I also used a cal counting thing I found on line....I wonder if my account still exis I'll have to check.... anyways, it was free and all I had to do is type in what I ate and it added it all up. School happend and it got to be one more thing I needed to do, I figure I was at least keeping my self under 1500, I guess I need to watch more closely. I do a bit of weights at home and in the step aerobics class we use weights as well. Not next week I'm skipping out. I exercise in one of those sauna suits. I also have one that targets the area around the waist, the thing is soping wet when I take it off. Going to look for my calorie count account.

Sauna suit.... That sounds like a good idea. I'm going to look into one of those.

Sounds like a good plan. How many calories are in a pound?

Q. How many calories make 1 pound of weight?

About 3,500 calories adds up to about 1 pound. This applies whether they are food calories coming in, or calories (burned by exercise) going out.

If you eat 3,500 calories more than your body needs, you will put on about 1 pound. If you use up 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will lose about 1 pound in weight.

Thanks. I've got to get scientific about this weight loss. I got some calculating to do.

So if I eat 1,200 calories a day, and lose a half a pound a day, that means I am burning about 2,950 calories in a normal day. That means I need to increase my activity and exercise more. I think I will try working out twice a day. I can't go down any further on the calories

yeah muscle milk is good...it has a ton of calories in it and fat but its the good kind for you...to help build muscle not just wasted fat. Thats why you see lots of guys who stay in the gym drinking the stuff and they are fit. If you are working out you def want more more calories. Don't starve yourself...the more you work out the more calories you will need to intake. Just think of the folks who do marathons and such and eat those high calorie bars...its turns into energy not fat...ie good calories. Once you start to workout and you feel hungrier...thats a good thing. it means your metabolism is kicking into gear and your body is craving nourishment...do not deprive yourself. Now this doesnt mean eating junk to satisfy yourself. it means eating a good meal that is healthy for you. its good to start your workout with muscle milk or end it with it, becuase the lactic acid you bulid up from the workout is cut down with muscle milk.

I know I sound like a muscle milk promoter...but I love the stuff. Vanilla mixed with a banana, soy milk, and 2 strawberries will keep me full til lunch!

Check out calorie spiking as well. If you are only taking in a very small amount of calories every day, it will cause your metabolism to drop like a rock, and that will make weight loss difficult or impossible. If you take in more calories every third day, it will prevent metabolism drop.
