Healthy Weight Loss

DapperButch · 09-02-2011, 06:57 AM

Hi, folks.

I just realized that my participating in the thread may be an intrusion.

I do not have a problem with my weight (i.e. I am in the "healthy weight zone", for my body structure).

However, I have a long history of not eating healthy (well, ok, when single not eating healthy), and I am currently very interested in nutrition due to recent health problems (as mentioned in another post). Since this thread does focus on healthy eating quite a bit, I am very interested in reading it, and also like adding thoughts here and there.

I guess I am wondering if I may be here as a healthy weight loss ally and a nutrition learner/participant? Oh, and being held accountable for daily exercise (as that is important to my continued health, per doctor...for more reasons than just a healthy weight), would be helpful to me too!

Truly won't be offended if people would like to keep this to a closed weight loss group...it is, after all, the point of the thread!

Thinker · 09-02-2011, 07:03 AM

Zero weight change. I'm now convinced it's the weight training. I just started increased cardio this week, so I think that's going to make a difference.

4.4 pounds to my first goal weight.

Good morning Dapper! Well of course we would love to have you join us... and look forward to you input!

Medusa · 09-02-2011, 08:29 AM

I love me a good ally! Welcome, Dapper!

I sneaked a peak this morning at the scales and have lost .2 pounds this week. I weighed in last Sunday and was exactly the same and was feeling kinda sad but not discouraged. I ramped up my exercise this week for sure and am following my food plan (mostly). My official weigh-in is on Sunday so hopefully I can get the rest of that pound off!

My weight loss patter has been this so far:

week1 - Lose a pound
week2 - lose a pound
week 3 - lose a pound
week 4 - gain a pound
week 5- hold steady
week 6 - hold steady
week 7 - lose 3-5 pounds
week 8 - lose 2 pounds

And then I start alllll back over with the cycle. It looks like my body does its reajustment for about 3 weeks, which can be frustrating, but looks like it's just how things are going to roll with me. I'll take it!

Well, we are in MN and having a blast. We are headed for the Minnesota State Fair in a bit and I may splurge a little bit and try not to make a slob out of myself. I've been doing pretty well and don't want to mess it up.

Tomorrow is weigh-in day, but, I do want to have a few sweets today that I love having at the fair like cotton candy and sno cones and a candy apple.

I just found out they have caprese salad on a stick! Bahahaha, but...that will be lunch because it's healthy...As far as the fried stuff...Nope...not going there.

Ciao! (not CHOW)

-S-

Scorp · 09-02-2011, 07:24 PM

OK...well I totally blew it today...I most likely WILL NOT weigh-in tomorrow knowing I ate like pacman at the fair today....I made a slob of myself and ate the shit I wasn't suppose to...

Scorp, comin' clean...

Make you a deal....I'll weigh in if you do.

Running on very little sleep, coupled with all of the stress of my mother going back into the hospital (after about 12 calls from concerned friends with conflicting information trying to get to the bottom of what's going on and trying to get real information on late Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend when the authorization to release information hasn't "found" the file yet.....)

Well...it's enough to say that I started the day really good....and have, since then, consumed 2 lunch size bags of doritos, a 12 oz. Dr. Pepper (real, not diet) and that there is a small black olive and mushroom pizza headed my way.

Zimmeh · 09-02-2011, 08:39 PM

I am sending my thoughts to you and your family that your mom is released from the hospital quickly!

Scorp · 09-03-2011, 10:01 AM

Heya Jo, as much as I would like to say yes, NO DEAL. I'm not ready to do it knowing I was real bad yesterday. You don't even want to know what I consumed at the Fair

My eyes may fall out of my head if I get on the scale and I don't want that to happen as I'm on vacation at this current time. Still got stuff to see/do and want to enjoy the remaining days without brooding

I'll weigh-in in a few more days when I'm back on track...

It's a new day today!

I'm in lazy mode. I can't seem to get myself moving. It could be allergies or the humidity but it truly sucks. Normally I cook almost every day but lately I just can't get into it. Personal stress also adding to that, a little sad lately and that always makes me wanna eat cookies. I seriously need to nip this in the bud.

Zimmeh · 09-03-2011, 05:52 PM

Good Evening Everyone,

I had two small pancakes with one cup of coffee for breakfast. I then had a cup of chocolate soymilk.

Lunch was a peanut butter sandwich and a fiber one bar with a glass of water.

Dinner was two chicken tenderloins marinated with Italian dressing, a small serving of potatoes and green peas.

I had two small pieces of Italian bread with bruschetta on it.

I then went for a four mile power walk and then I came home to have a small bottle of 100% cranberry juice.

Have a great night,

Zimmy

Zimmeh · 09-04-2011, 08:00 AM

Good Morning Everyone,

I am having a 6oz cup of Greek Yogurt with two slices of peanut butter toast and a cup of coffee.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

Let's be perfect tomorrow. This one is in the books.

Good morning,

Today is a mini-milestone for me: I officially hit the 50% mark. Yep, one half of me is gone for good, It's strange thinking of a whole other full sized person standing next to me and leaving. Good riddance!

Hey Dapper, good to see you jump in. I'll be interesting in bouncing some nutrition ideas off of you. Given your situation, I'll look forward to seeing some of the fruits of your labor research-wise.

Thinker; I ran across an article yesterday you might find of interest; it's here.

Everyone be good, I'm off to the beach, very sunny day today.

citybutch · 09-02-2011, 10:35 AM

I am starting up again with my weight loss plan.... I had some good luck from May-end of July... and I lost about 14 pounds with exercise and following Weight Watchers online.

and then I got stuck... probably due to stress.

So... here I am again... starting over. The 14 pounds are still off but getting back to it is hard... and now it is a long weekend!

Anyway, just thought I would jump in somewhere!
