Healthy Weight Loss

I think holding ourselves accountable is much different than beating up on ourselves for a slip up. The holidays are rough enough, so be gentle with yourselves.

I am enjoying myself today, and then heading back to the gym tomorrow.

Tomorrow commences Operation LGN: Look Good Naked.

It's not a diet; it's a butt and gutt reduction plan.

Hello everyone!

how many are starting off the New Year with a plan?

i'm still working the old plan myself.

down a pound at weigh in this morning.

Total 14.5 so far.

Today's menu includes lots of carb (what i am avoiding) so wish me luck!

Happy New Year Healthies!

Happy New Year everyone.

Dee that is great progress. Congrats.

Well I still was able to maintain my weight loss for 2012 with only carbing out a little after Thanksgiving and then putting 10lbs back on, losing 5 now I am back to goal. Yikes this is hard stuff. So that goal was level one now I am on to level 2 which is to lose another 20 lbs and use my gym app to track my workout progress, VirtuaGym for anyone who is interested. This is a good app for tracking progress and following workout routines that you can do at home or at the gym. If you have some free weights there are some workout suggestions that are helpful and also many workouts that require no equipment.

Avoiding lousy carbs becomes easier once I put weight on as a result of them. Its not worth it. If I crave a low quality carb, like a bagel, my weakness, or baguette, I have it in the morning then I have all day to burn it off.

Really, I need the support of this thread. I don't make resolutions about going on a diet, setting a weight loss goal, etc. If I'm not successful it really does a number on my psyche. My focus is on eating healthy and exercising more. I haven't had anything with refined sugar in it since Sunday. This is big for me. Last month I made a conscious choice to not bring any packaged sweets into the apt. I find that if its not there .... I do without. The holidays provided many opportunities to indulge, and, I did! Now, I'm climbing back on the wagon. Thank you all for being here!

My plan for the new year is health. . I will be doing doctor visits for health, dental, and vision. I actually did a vision one last year but I need contacts and I have benefits again at work so I'll take advantage of that. The other two, it's been some good years for checks so I'll get a full doctor check and dental cleaning and check. I'll continue to make wise eating choices without limiting myself and hell maybe another 10 lbs lost is not so bad a goal.

*cheers* to 2013 everybody!

I enjoyed a bowl of oatmeal this morning - apple and cinnamon and some toast with real butter and black coffee.
