Weekends are definitely the hardest for me too! I did 30 minutes of stationary rowing yesterday, so I felt good about that. I will do it again tomorrow with some core added. I will, I will, I will.

Okay. Another week has started. Survived the weekend without gaining. I met with a TERRIFIC Internal Medicine doc last week. Did a full physical, got some AD's. Told her my weight loss goals, so she prescribed Wellbutrin, said it doesn't cause weight gain like the other ADs, and in some patients actually helps with weight loss -- wouldn't that be great!

Anyway, will see her again middle of February. So I've made a goal of my own to lose an additional 10 pounds before I see her again. Good to have someone to be accountable to.

Since I started Jan 3rd, I have only been adjusting my eating habits. Starting today, I'm adding exercise to my daily routine. Won't be weighing in again until this Friday, so we'll see how I've done.

Just returned from a holiday weekend girl's trip. I wasn't as bad eating wise as in the past - but not as good as I have been the last few weeks.

I don't weigh in until Friday so the next three days, I will be extra diligent.

Wish me luck!!!

Okay, start of a new week. Time for all of us to erase the past and start anew.

Okay.....I couldn't get to the meeting when I had hoped to start by now r/t sick kids. I hope to start this Wednesday. I will need all the support I can find. Please say a pray for me--to let the changes in me be real and stick. thanks.......till then.

I allowed myself a *free* day onSaturday and have falen off the horse since then. Nothing too bad... but I haven't walked my two miles in a few days because it's been freezing cold.

I need to find something to do in the house.

I'm getting bad at weighing all the time...lol. It's like I'm looking for this miraculous weight loss because of my hard work outs. It still comes off slow, girl. I keep having to tell myself that.

I'm down eleven pounds so far. Six pounds to my next goal and then I'll start ten pound goals again.

I'm getting there....why can't it just melt away? lol

I did figure out though that in the last six days I've burned off 1500 calories. That's like a day of food so I'm pretty happy with that. It has to pay off somewhere...lol. I work out to burn 250 calories a night right now. That means one hour of vigorous walking on the treadmill for two miles and 15 min ( a little over five miles) on the stationary bike. That equals around 250 calories burned and a good cardio workout.

Added:

I made myself get up today and go workout. I had the voice in my head finding reasons why I couldn't today. I got up, went to the clubhouse and stepped it up a notch. Burned off another 330 calories but upping the incline on the treadmill and the intensity on the bike. I've stayed on points all week so I'm hopeful for a great weigh in on Thursday. I just want it to go away faster !!!!! lol

One day at a time....that's what I've got to remind myself. It doesn't go away over night.

I also allow myself a free day once a week. I try to make it just one meal instead of an entire day of eating with wild abandon, but I've had those, too.

I'm not doing WW, just cleaning up my diet. I'm rooting for everyone here that is, though.

Since mid-December, I've been running every day and going to the gym for weights 3-4 times a week. Now my dog waits for me by the door with his leash in his mouth every morning! I bought a jogger stroller, and one of the plastic rain/wind shields to put over it, my daughter has to come along. I just bundle her up. She LOVES playing with the toys at the gym's baby center!

I haven't been posting much or going to sparkpeople like i should. But I have been exercising every night and eating well. I lost 4 pound last week.

Went to the doc because my hormones all over the place so alot of my previous gain was water weight. I'm trying desperately to find a job so that is taking up all my free time.

I need to get back on spark to keep track of my calories.

Good job everyone!

I hit my wall last night working out. I was so exhausted but I pushed through it and finished my normal workout. I was asleep by 9:30pm though from pure exhaustion. I'm stiff today too from turning up the incline and speed. Nothing a little Aleve or Ibuprofen won't take care of.

The good news is....I'm down 12.5 pounds now.

I'm going to a meeting tonight to make sure I stay focused.

I'm getting there....one small pound at a time. Everyone at work was commenting on how they could tell I'm losing weight. That was nice to hear. Another million to go and I'm there....lol.

4.5 pounds to my next goal....that's what I'm pushing for and then I'll set another one.

SW -

Way to go - you are an inspiration!!!!

How's everyone doing? I think that the first month is the hardest, and if you can stick to it, it gets better and more second nature.

I'm still on program, but it is hard. Don't give up! Even if you've gotten off track, start fresh and keep going towards your goals.

Hey all! I never post in here but I am soo excited right now. Ive been doing WW for about 15 weeks now. I hit my 20lb mark!! Thought I would share. It totally works when you put your mind to it. We can all do it!! :)

I weighed in tonight. I was down 10.6 in two week and I'm down 12.5 total because I had started half heartedly a week or so before that. I was very pleased. I even reserved the treadmill again tonight and worked out afterwards. Told H that kids were his and did my thing. I tried the elliptical tonight because I wanted to try it but I did it after 1.5 miles on the treadmill at a vigorous pace. I did eight minutes with stopping each minute to catch my breath....lol. Maybe I'll try that one first next time but someone else was there and I didn't want to look like a putz on it....lol. I did burn 70 calories in that eight minutes on it though so I want to do that one more because it burns more calories. I did burn 300 calories again tonight so I was pleased. No one was in the room when I was on the elliptical so I just stopped to catch my breath and started again after I did...that thing is a workout !!!

I'm going to try it in the day sometime when it's less busy in there and see how long I can do it. It burns like 586 calories in an hour so that would be sweet if I could build up on that thing. We'll see....I'm doing good with everything else though.

Lost 4 lbs last week.

Just 1.25 lbs on week 2, but i'll take it.

Well, my third week slump has hit again

I had lost 8.5 but when I weighed today, I was up half a pound. I had a three day girl's weekend and while I wasn't exactly on plan, I did eat better than I have in the past.

My third week slump happens on every diet and this is where I derail. I'm determined to keep on plan including exercise but I could really use support!!!! Any kind words would help.

Thanks

Hey All,

I've read some of your posts and want to congratulate you all on sticking with WW! I started WW a few years back and it IS difficult to change your eating habits especially the first few months. But I want to ensure you it DOES get easier [hmmm...where have I heard that before? ]

Stick with it and good luck!

I'm so proud of everyone! Yay for us.

Okay... somebody kick me in the butt!!! I DO NOT want to do any exercise today. I sat down at the computer to get some work done early this morning... and I'm still here... comfy, productive, makin' money... and I DO NOT want to go exercise.

But I know I have to. AAARRRRRGH!
