4月23日 Week 16 Weigh InWoooo Hoooooo. I have to say that this week's weigh in was actually pretty good. I ended up losing 2 more pounds this week and I'm down to 219! I'm actually in the teens!!! I can't even remember the last time I can say that I'm in the teens! It's a good feeling. I've been eating decent, not the greatest, but I haven't been cheating. I think it's a little over the portions that I should be eating, but I continue to eat healthy and I guess it's paying off. I'm down 39.5 pounds. Next week I'm hoping to break the 40 pound mark. I haven't been updating my food diary on this site, I've just been too busy, but hopefully I will get going on it again soon. I've continued walking with my sister as much as possible at night. Good Luck to everyone! Until next week~ 4月19日 Week 15 Weigh InUpdate from my weigh in on Wednesday, I'm down to 221 pounds for a total of 37.5 from the beginning of the year! This week I lost another two pounds. I've been trying to continue this journey, which I do want to finish, however, it's gotten harden ever since the contest at my job and the Million Pound Match up ended. I have to keep realizing that I'm not gonna lose all the weight over night. It's a slow process. But sometimes it gets fustrating, but I've been trying to stay focused. During the week, I try to walk during lunch at work every day and in the evenings. I will try to continue that. Well, this is just a short blog to keep everyone updated! Good Luck to everyone continuing on this journey! 4月10日 Week 14 Weigh InHi All! It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been pretty busy with everything in my life and I've had a cold for a while so haven't really had time to sit down and write a blog. But here I am! Last week I had gained 2 pounds from being down in Florida which wasn't too bad, it could have been a lot worse. Today, I weighed in again and lost 1.5 pounds this week. So now I am only .5 pound up from before I went to Florida. I'm continuing with this journey. I just finished walking during my lunch break at work. It's actually beautiful out today in NY, about 70, so I decided to take advantage of the weather and go for a nice long walk. Well, just checkin in to let everyone know that I haven't given up and I'm still here!
Congratulations to the 5 teams that made it to the Finals! 3月26日 Week 12Today was my 12th weigh in and also the end of "The Biggest Loser" competition at my job. I'm happy to tell you that I lost 3.5 pounds this week for a total of 36 pounds in 12 weeks and that was enough to win the competition!!!!! The girl that was in 2nd place ended up only losing 1.5 pounds. It was such a relief after I won. I worked so hard all week, afraid that this girl in 2nd place was going to pull a really really high number. But everything worked out in the end. Tomorrow I go to Florida with the winnings from the contest and it's good to know that I have extra money now! Sorry I haven't written in a while or updated my food diary, just been really busy. I will update my pics after I get back from Florida! 3月19日 Weigh In Week 11I've lost another 4 pounds!!!
 for a total of 32.5 pounds!!! I'm soo happy, especially with being sick and not being able to exercise as much as I wanted this week. This will definately help out in the competition that is going on at work. I have one week left before the competition ends and I'm confident that I have a chance to succeed and win!!Today, was a crappy day in NY with rain ALL day
 so unfortunately, I didn't get to walk like I usually do every day during lunch and at night, but tomorrow is suppose to be alot nicer, so I will definately get a start to my exercising for the week.Later~ 3月16日 Weekends - LisaToday is my town's St. Patrick's Day Parade and it goes right by my apartment. So I'm sitting here listening to all the bagpipes and bands playing as they go by. I'm enjoying the fact that I don't even have to go out since it's not such a nice day here in NY. Anyway, I finally decided that I don't like weekends. I usually give myself those two days off from exercising which is a nice break, however, since I really don't do much on the weekends besides lounge around the house, I tend to eat because I'm bored. Not that I eat bad, I usually stay within my 1200 calories that I have been following, but it just seems like I'm always going into the kitchen or the refrigerator to get something else to snack on. I'm not much of an emotional eater, I tend to be a "boredom" eater, if that makes any sense. I figure if I force myself to drink alot of water, that should make me feel full, but, OH how I HATE water lol. Not much of a fan, as I have said in my prior blogs. I think maybe if I exercise tonight it will make me fel like I acually did something this weekend. Gonna go get some water now! Hope everyone is continuing this journey! Good Luck to All!
~Lisa 3月12日 Week 10 Weigh inI have continued to lose weight each week which I am very thankful for! I lost another 2 this week for a total of 28.5 pounds which is 11.03% of my weight lost so far!!! I'm very happy with the results. It definately gives me more motivation to see the scale moving in the right direction.
The Contest at my job has gotten harder. I am finally in first place, but there is one woman that is close to me and she is a lot smaller then me, and as you all know, that means that even if we lose the same amount of weight, she will go ahead of me and end up winning the contest. As you can tell, the contest is obviously based on percentage of weight lost. It's sort of stressing me out knowing that she could end up winning it all. It's kinda a bummer knowing that I am down 28.5 pounds and she is down 16, but she could still win in the long run! I'm gonna have to step up my game the next two weeks and hope that I don't plateau or something!!
I've been really slacking on the whole water thing! I've had a problem with drinking my allotted amount of water each day. I am just now a water person, never have been and I guess never will me. I'm figuring if I start drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day, maybe I will lose my water weight again LOL Well, this is my day off from exercising for the week and for some reason I feel guilty about not doing anything. I actually can't say that I didn't do anything. Every lunch time, me and a co worker walk over a mile during lunch, so I did get to do some sort of exercise, but not as much as I usually do.
Well, enough for today! Hope everyone is continuing with this weight loss journey. I can't wait to check out everyone's progress. Later..... 3月5日 Week 9 Weigh In - LisaI lost another 2.5 pounds for a total of 26.5 pounds! I'm so excited. I've been working really hard and dedicated more then ever to get to my goal weight. I have booked a vacation to Jamaica in July and my goal is to be at least under 200! I have a few obstacles in the way. One of them being my birthday on Tuesday, which is also the end of this contest! I'll just have to control what I eat when I go out to dinner, but I'm sure I'm gonna be fine. The other obstacle is a wedding that I need to attend down in Orlando Florida. This is at the end of the month and I'm sure it's gonna be all dinner's at restaurants for the days other then the actual wedding. I'm sort of dreading it. My downfall is usually the drinking and I haven't had a drink since the New Year since I've been so motivated to lose the weight. I'm just gonna have to stick it out and I'm sure I won't do to bad. Well, enough dwelling into the future lol. I'm happy with what I lost this week and I'm gonna take it one day at a time. 2月28日 Week 8 Weigh In - LisaI lost another pound! Which isn't too bad since I had lost 6.5 pounds last week. I was definately hoping for more. But I can't complain. I've continued to walk every night with my sister, even in the freezing cold!! Eva also did great this week losing 3.5 pounds. I'm proud of her and the way she got right back in it. Some sad news. Eva is a co-worker of mine and she has decided to take job at another company. She will be greatly missed at work. However, she is going to continue with this journey and keep everyone updated with her progress. It's definately gonna be harder, since I will not see her everyday. But she is making her life better which is the most important part. I wish her luck at her new job and will try to encourage her to continue with this journey. Well, that's pretty much it. Will update again soon! 2月20日 Week 7 - LisaToday was weight in and I'm VERY happy to say that I lost 6 more pounds for a total of 23 pounds so far!!!! I've been working very hard for the past week. I bought a Pedometer and it's actually been helping alot. I've been walking about 5 miles a day and burning between 800 to 950 calories.
The competition at work is going great. Right now, I'm in second place, working my way to 1st place!
I've been eating really good, trying to keep up with 1200 calories a day, weighing all my meats and measuring all the veggies that I have been eating. I'm not doing that great on the water intake that I should be having each day, but I try.
I guess exercising does pay off in the long run. I was shocked to see the 6 pound drop, but I'm so very happy. It has definately made my week! I'm just hoping to keep it up. I will continue to walk every night, even know though it's been like 30 degrees at night. But I'm determined to keep going.
Congratulations to everyone that is continuing on this journey!!! 2月13日 Week 6 - EvaIt's been a long time since I've written a blog, and to be quite honest, I've missed showing some love to those bloggers who have been writing great content week in and week out especially Lisa. Here's what I've been doing over the past couple of weeks:
I've struggled with my weight which basically means that I struggled to take weight off. Putting it on was very easy. I think one of the hardest things for me to master with losing weight is to not let life get me down. I've been feeling heavier lately. Stepping on the scale this morning, my hunch was correct. I lost 1.5 pounds since my weight gain, but I'm still down 4 pounds down from my original starting weight) I can directly relate this weight fluctuation to my monthly cycle.....lol
I have still been watching what I eat. I love salads, so I have been having those for lunch when I can. As for exercising, tomorrow, I am going to try something new. I am going to set my alarm for 5:30am and try my best to NOT hit the snooze button. After getting up, I'll take care of a few morning things and then exercise for at least 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Well, I am off for now since I have work to do. My plan for this week is to keep eating in moderation and keep active during my non-working hours and post more blogs.
P.S. I would like to Congratulate Lisa on her weight loss and thank her for her continued patience and guidance!!!! 2月6日 Weigh In Week 5 - LisaToday I weighed in and lost another Pound. I'm not really happy about that, I was hoping for at least two, but because of the Superbowl party that I had, I can understand why I only lost 1 pound.
Anyway, I've been viewing people's websites and notice that there is a formula in order to figure out the number of calories that I should be eating. I have been following a 1000 calorie a day diet and after watching The Biggest Loser last night, I got to thinking. Am I eating enough calories in order to lose weight!?!?! I did the calculation, and it is stating that I should be eating appoximately 1600 calories! AND that's with taking off 1000 calories a day in order to lose weight! It just seems so high. I'm afraid if I start eating another 600 calories a day, that I'm gonna end up gaining?!?! And, I definately don't want that!!! So, I'm gonna take a chance and start eating more to get to the correct calorie amount that I should be having daily.
Now, onto another subject!
As far as The Biggest Loser last night! I was SOOOO Happy that Jackie got voted off. I haven't been a fan of the original Orange team since the beginning. She was so two faced and was playing the game good until the Black team figured her out. That made my night last night!! WOOO HOOO LOL. I have to say though, she looked amazing when they showed what she looks like now! That's just more inspiration to all of us in the Weight Loss World that it can be done!
1月31日 Weigh In Week 4 - EvaI'm sorry that I haven't been blogging much, but I've been doing alot of things at home and I've been really busy. Lisa was finally able to get a hold of me and I weighed myself at my house and I lost 2 pounds!!!! Hopefully next week when I weigh in at the scale that I usually use, it will even be lower! I've been trying to head to the gym as much as a could throughout the week. I was able to go 3 times this week and I've been eating pretty good. So I'm happy that I actually lost two pounds. This journey has been hard with so much stuff going on, but I'm doing it and that's all that matters. I will try to blog more when I have some more free time. Updated pictures will be posted next week once I get back to work :) 1月30日 Weigh In Week 4 - LisaWeigh in was pretty good this week. I lost 2 more pounds. So, now I'm down to a total of 12.5 pounds in four weeks! Which I can't complain about since I had the "Oreo Cake" at Fridays this weekend. I'm happy that I lost something. I was so afraid that after stepping on the scale on Monday, that the cake would kick in and I wouldn't lose anything once weigh in day came.
Eva has not been in work and she will not be in for the remainder of the week, so unfortunately, she can't weigh in until she comes back. I'm gonna try to call her up to see if she has a scale at home that she can weigh in to give me numbers, but unfortunately, since it's not the usual scale that she weighs in on, who knows how accurate it's gonna be.
Tonight, I'm more determine than ever. I worked out at my parents house again on the stationary bike and rode for 60 minutes, riding 19.42 miles and burning 956 calories!!! I'm more motivated now. It actually feels like I just started the diet. Usually, in the past, when I do go on diets, after 2 weeks, I usually give up. But I haven't lost the feeling of wanting to get to my healthy weight and change my life forever.
I honestly think that this Million Pound Match Up has alot to do with me being so motivated. Everytime I read other peoples sites and the success that they have been having along with all the struggles that their going through makes me feel like I'm not alone in doing this. I'm just hoping that after the end of the contest on March 11th, that most of the people will continue their journey on their sites for the encouragement that so many people need.
Well, good luck to everyone who has a weigh in coming up!!! 1月28日 "I Messed Up" - LisaLast night was a BADDDDD Night. I took my sister-in-law out for her birthday along with my husband and her husband. I decided to go to TGI Fridays since they have a low fat menu. Well, I had every intention on ordering from the low fat selections, unfortunately, while there, everyone else had decided to order from the "3 course meal menu" which included appetizers, dinner and dessert, and I fell into temptation and ended up ordering not so good items. I had two pieces of Parmesean crusted quesadillas. Then for dinner I had grilled chicken (which wasn't that bad) and it came with fried shrimp, veggies and mashed potatoes! My husband ate most of the mashed potatoes, which I'm very happy about. But the worst choice of the night was the dessert that I had! I had an Oreo Chocolate Cake!!
On the way home, I felt sick, I regretted everything that I ate and I kept complaining to my husband that I shouldn't have ate what I did. It was such a horrible feeling, knowing that I made the wrong choices all because I was following everyone else's lead. I have to keep telling myself not to give in to temptation and keep remembering that no matter what you eat, it will make you full, whether it's healthy or bad for you.
So, I got into work today, which is where my scale is for the contest that I'm running at my job and decided to see what kind of damage I did from the night before. I stepped on the scale and to my surprise, I was down another two pounds. That was definately "weight of my shoulders" I was sooo afraid that I was going to gain some weight back. But now, I keep thinking, if I didn't eat that, how much weight would I have been down. Losing weight is definately an up and down journey. It's so hard to just stick with it and not ever cheat. So, today, I went back to eating that way that I have been and got my exercise in for the night. My official weigh in isn't until Wednesday, so we will see if I can lose a little bit more before then! 1月26日 Exercise - LisaLast night was a good night. I was at my parent's house waiting to pick up my husband from work and I decided to use their stationary bike to get some exercise in. I ended up biking for 1 hour burning almost 1000 calories and rode over 19 miles!! I've been doing really good with the exercise this week, hopefully it will pay off when I weigh myself on wednesday.
It's Saturday night and I still haven't exercised. I know you should take a break on the exercising, but for some reason I feel guilty when I don't exercise. I don't know if it's just me, but it feels if I don't exercise, I'm actually cheating. I don't know why I feel this way. I've eaten good all day and have been cleaning, so I guess that could be considered exercise, but it's not the same.
Tomorrow, I have my sister in law and her husband and kids coming over for dinner for her birthday and I'm trying to figure out what to make so that I can have what every one else is having. I think my best choice would be to make a lean meat and vegatables. I'll have to stay away from the potatoes. That's definately one of my downfalls. As far as dessert goes, I'll make something light, but not sure what yet. It will be a last minutes choice!
Maybe I'll try to exercise a bit after dinner. Well, I'll check in tomorrow. Everyone have a good night! 1月25日 Hopefully it will work! - LisaEver since my weigh in on Wednesday, I have stepped it up with my exercises. Hopefully that will make a difference on next weeks weigh in. I've been doing the elliptical 30 minutes per night and also walking over a mile during lunch while I'm at work. Let's just hope that it helps! Week 3 Weigh In - Eva0.5 pounds! After working hard all week and sticking to my diet, I only lost .5 pounds. That is so discouraging! I've been really busy and have been unable to blog as much as I want to. But I continue to work as hard as I can and hopefully it will be better next week!! 1月23日 Week 3 Weigh In - LisaI guess I had a reason to me nervous. I only lost 1/2 pound :( I'm really disappointed and I can't understand why. As I said in my last blog, I didn't cheat and I actually thought I did pretty good. It's kind of discouraging that all that work for a whole 7 days, and I lost 1/2 pound! I really think that's why a lot of people don't stick to trying to lose weight because of weeks like this. But I'm still determined to lose weight and I will stay focused. It just sort of crushed me that it wasn't higher. Anyway, my partner has to weigh in when she gets into work and we will put that information down when available. 1月22日 Weigh In TomorrowTomorrow is weigh in. I'm kinda nervous, but I really don't think that there is a reason to be. I've stuck to my food plan very strict this week and haven't cheated once!! But for some reason I'm nervous that I didn't lose anything. I just finished working out on the elliptical machine for 20 mintues and now I'm watching the Biggest Loser :) I've been working out a little more then the first 2 weeks. The first two weeks, I walked to the train after work which was 10 blocks and one day I walked a mile, but other then that, I didn't do much. This past week I did better, I continue to walk the 10 blocks, but I've also walked on the weekends and worked out on the elliptical machine twice this week. It's still not the best I can do, but at least it's a start. Well, gotta get back to watching the Biggest Loser. I will check back in tomorrow to let you know how I did on the weigh in. |
