I personally think that there may be a slight thermogenic affect drinking more cool water but you increase your excercise by running to the bathroom ever 5 minutes

I'm soooo excited!!! I had about a 5 lb. loss this week!!!! woo hoo!!!! I've been keeping track of what I'm eating the past couple of weeks, keeping a food journal. I also spent a couple of hours online one day and looked up all of our favorite places to eat to see what the calorie content in the different things we eat at them are. I've journaled all this as well so that I can go into a restaurant and feel confident that what I am eating is not going to throw me over the edge!!!Anyhow....off to west virgina this morning! Talk to y'all later!!!

 

[rennea]

Well it's been two weeks today and I have lost at total of 9lbs. YAHOO!!

So that makes it another 3lbs this week. I'm going for another 3lbs this coming week!!!!

It seems to being coming all off the hips at this point. I'm down at least one dress size.

 

[JAE]

Aren't we all doing great?! I'm glad people are keeping up with this thread. I did my 50 minute pilates/sculpt workout and vacuumed. (That's exercise, isn't it. It was making me sweat a little.) I won't be weighing myself for a few days because of the PMS thing.
Keep up the good work!

 

[MamaChef]

weight watchers let's you count vacuuming!!! Therefore, I think you're golden!!!

 

[Kathytnt]

Lost .6 Well at least it was not a gain from post conference and the stay at the airport

Hopefully next week will be better

I am so excited that the Biggest Loser will be back on TV soon. I love that show. And I saw the new twist - Jillian is back so now there will be 3 trainers - Bob, Kim and Jillian. Allison Sweeney of Days of our Lives will be the new host replacing Caroline Rhea

Hubby and I do what we call Biggest Loser night - I cook a healthy meal like Salmon and veggies and then we jump on our exercise bikes and ride during the show!

 

[chefjwr]

When will it be back Kathy?

 

[Christ Follower]

Speaking of biggest loser.... The competition at our church is over. My team ended up in 4th place. (not too bad for 9 teams) I lost a total of 21 lbs. Still 25 to go!!! I probably gained a few back though because I got lazy now that there isn't a weigh-in. My neighbors and I started regular walks and work out nights though. We'll see how it goes.....

 

[Kathytnt]

The new season starts Sept 11 There will be a follow up show - Where are they now type thing on Sept. 4th

I have not lost much weight, I am sorry to say, but I think that my lack of weight loss is probably due to becoming more muscular because I have definitely trimmed down. I really only had about five more pounds to go before I was where I wanted to be, but maybe that's just not a possibility for me (I may have had an unrealistic expectation...).

I ran five Sunday, four Monday, and two yesterday. If my mom is able to come out to my place tonight, I think I will do either five or 6.5. She's coming over tomorrow for certain, so I will definitely do five then.

I have been emailing the team leader of the Hood to Coast team that I am on, and I am feeling more confident about the race every day. He gave me very easy legs, partly because I am not used to running at altitude and partly because I turned in one of the slowest times on our team (many of the guys on the team have been running for more years than I have been on the planet--they are very fast!). I may wind up trading my dad for some of his legs, though, because I am in much better shape than he is, and he got a much more difficult set than I did. He's one of the night runners, though, so we may have to shuffle a few things...

Kathy I don't think you should be sooo critical 120lbs is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself. You go girl!! They always say the last bit of weight to come off is the hardest, hmmm.....

I am doing wonderful!! Today is day number 20 and I am down 12lbs Yahoo!!
Still have 28lbs to go.....


Good luck everyone

Not so great here. Our church "biggest loser" is over and I think I gained a few back since there are no more weigh ins! I need to get back to my routine. Now that I don't have team mates counting on me, I've gotten a little lazy. I know what you mean about pictures though. I don't feel like I look too bad till I see pictures of myself!

 

[Kathytnt]

Ellen - Stick with us Your health is important to you and your loved ones

 

[Brandie]

Ellen, it's so easy to get off-track when you've had a group that has held you so accountable! Remember, we're all human, and sometimes we fall off the wagon. Just dust yourself off and chase that sucker down!

My problem with pictures is that I have all the photos of myself before I had kids, and I look fantastic! Now I look at myself and compare to then, and I feel let down. I don't think I look terrible now, but the comparison is pretty shocking. I'm not extreme enough for extreme makeover; I just need to keep focused on what I CAN do with my body. I also need to get over the fact that I will never have an 22-year-old body again!

I did run today--just four. I never realized what a difference the time of day has on my performance. It was really warm and humid today, so I was like molasses!

 

[Kathytnt]

Dang - I kept a picture at my highest weignt 310 - and can you believe it was wearing a swimsuit

I got down to 157 - Within 7 lbs of my goal wieght with WW then I met psycho boy and had trouble getting him out of my life - Started pigging out due to the stress. Know I am struggling to get restarted again.

HELP!!!!!!!

Should I just buckle down at go to my meeting tomorrow even though I am sure I have gained weight. It so hard to do although next weight in will be better

 

[tlennhoff]

Did you go to the meeting Kathy?

 

[Christ Follower]

Brandie,

When you say you ONLY ran 4, does that mean 4 miles??? That's pretty darn good if that's the case!

 

[Kathytnt]

I made the weight in but I did not go to the meeting - I am having a tough time getting started WHY- WHY- WHY do I do this WHy do I think I am not worthy or something Arggh

 

[tlennhoff]

Kathy, it is hard to break those cycles. Something that helps me is reminding myself that G-d cares about each one of us, and if he cares about us we must be worth something. Sometimes that gets me out of my "not worthy" slumps.

And for some outside reinforcement, you are a great cheffer and contribute a lot to this site, you are smart, dedicated, caring, and worthy of many good things. May your life be full of good health and good times with family and friends. Just keep coming to caring people for support and we can help you reach your goals, personal and professional.

 

[Kathytnt]

Tasha - Thank you for such kind words

 

[Kathytnt]

Wohoo Went to weigh in and I lost 2.6 Basically the 2.6 that showed up last week Too cool just 38.6 more to go!

That is a total of 25.6 down with the WW program so far I LOVE CORE!!!

 

[Kathytnt]

Grilled PeachesI am in heaven - I just made grilled peaches. Peeled them- the sliced them thick. (6 slices total) Put FF butter spray on the grill pan. Sprinkled the peaches with cinnamon and then cooked them until tender. Tasted like the filling in a cobbler and totally healthy for you! The WW recipe I got the idea from just cut the peach in half but I decided to slice them

I must get more peaches at the store tomorrow!

Yahoo!!! Good job Still doing good here 15lbs down so far 25lbs to go....

 

[Christ Follower]

Not the greatest here. I need to get back on a schedule! I keep thinking "maybe when school starts again". I don't want to wait! This is one of the busiest summers I've ever had and I don't even know why! My neighbors and I have worked out a bit but nothing consistent enough to make a difference. I guess I'm just frustrated.

 

[MamaChef]

I think I'm gonna have to try those peaches!!! That sounds goooood!!!!!I got on the scale the other day was was quite shocked to see that I'd lost 5 lbs!!!! We just got back from my in-laws last week, so to se that I'd lost instead of gained was super exciting!!!! Woo hoo!!!!

I just sent an email for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center WEight Loss clinoc asking for an application to be considered for their programs. They have surgical and non-surgical. I have struggled with lifestyle changes so much. I'm thinking of going for Gastric Bypass now.

My problem is that I have two young children (17months and 3 1/2 years). What is the recouperation like from gastric? How long typically would it be before I could care for them on my own again? I am typically a quick healer, and have a husband and family members who will be supportive of me, but I want to know what kinda of help I should expect to arrange before I get in over my head with this.

 

[Kathytnt]

Jenn - If you are serious about this please contact me - I had gastric bypass 9 1/2 years ago I am a slow healer myself but the surgeon doesn't even keep people in the hospital half as long as they did when I had my surgery. Mine was open not laproscopic. Check out groups like Obesityhelp.com for support
