Ty very much taminx! The encouragement, and support is deff a big part!! so ty guys!!!

Reading all of the posts about ur journeys and seeing how far everyone has come.. u r all inspirations! and i thank u for posting all that u have!:p :) :D
 
Hola bonita!

:)

5 lbs gone, nice work. What time frame did it take to lose the 5? I am concerned with how low your cals are still. I saw you had one day over 2000 cals, but big deal. It is not the acute effects of cal intake that make a difference. Rather, it is the chronic effects, and chronically eat VERY little. Which is fine, as long as you are working towards upping your intake. ;)

How are you tracking your cals?
 
Steve - i lost the 5lbs in a week... and i keep track of my calories by looking up how many is in everything i eat....most of the time i just take it from the package..and if it doesn't have one, then i google it and look through some of the things on there to find it... and then write it down in my journal

Today, i woke up and weighed myself (again)... I'm so excited 5 LBS!!!!! YAY me!!!

I feel really good, i cant wait to be able to do my exercises today!! Does anyone else do workout videos at home?... thats all Ive ever done, even b4 when i lost weight.

I just got a new one from Prevention.. Dance it Off... does anyone use or has used it??..any incite would be nice!! :p
 
I hate to be a party crasher. I really do, but seriously, I hope you bump your cals up a bit. Watching the scale climb down can be fun and tons of great emotions are tied to watching it happen.

However, losing that amount of weight in a week often times means you are losing more than just fat. Muscle loss is never a good thing. On top of this, it seems like you are not doing any weight training, which just adds to the chances of losing muscle throughout the dieting period.

People who diet hard usually gain the weight back hard, based on most of the empirical evidence that has been presented to me in my lifetime.

You can take my advice for what it's worth. Or don't listen, this is your journey. And if you don't listen, I will still stop in and say hello. :)
 
Very good point. I'm happy for you on your weight loss, but the fact is losing 5lbs in a week isn't the healthiest option for anyone. I think you still need to explore food possibilities as you're not really eating enough to sustain your body weight (based on what you've written). I'm just afraid your body'll go into starvation mode and you'll find it impossible to maintain your current diet, at which point the weight will almost certainly creep back. Slow and steady...remember?
I'm finding your enthusiasm infectious though - I hope your workout goes well..
 
Well i haven't been on here in a couple days!.. i also haven't written in my food log for a couple days, so i don't have it to write down on here.. but Ive been doing pretty good!

And ty all for ur incite... Ive definitely got my calories up now..

So hopefully i lose about 2lbs a week!! We'll c on Mon. even if i only lose 1lb.. its better than gaining.. so thats all I'm going to think about!!!:p
 
Hey Lexis,

Glad to hear you're doing alright and that you're eating better. It's nice to be told you should eat more, isn't it? :)

Have a great weekend.
 
Well, i haven't been on here in awhile! I also haven't been doing too great! :( But I'm still gonna keep going!!!!

n i finally found the remote to my dvd player, so it will b a lil easier on me.. not having to do cardio EVERYDAY.. now i can do my weight training every other day as well!!

I'm also moving in 10 days.. so thats gonna make everything a lil hard, but ill get through it!

Anyways, i just wanted to post here again, ill be starting my food logs and posting them soon!

Have a great day everyone!! :p :D
 
Hey Lexis,

Keep going, don't stop!! Cardio is a bit*h, I know. Even I have been having problems with cardio, but I guess it's one session at a time.

Good luck with moving and all (jeez, that sounds like so much hard work but you're bound to get a workout from all that twisting and turning and bending and lifting and pushing and everything else involved in moving..phew)

Good luck!!
 
Wow its been awhile since Ive been on here!!!

Well..we just moved and got all settled, thats y i haven't been on here...

But i also haven't been doing to well on the diet.. i have lost only 9lbs so far... i know that still really good..for how things have been going lol... we have been eating out alot :eek: only cuz of the move!

but tomorrow is a new day!... and I'm getting back on the ball ... I'm going to start walking with my daughter everyday again.. and the eating right too!!! :jump:
 
Hey Tiffany

It's great to see you're alright, and that the moving went alright. You've managed to lose 9lbs - that is no mean feat. You should be proud of yourself for that, as well as for getting back on the ball.

I look forward to hearing of your progress. Cheerio! :)
