Today was the third weigh in for the month.  Surprisingly I was able to lose 2 lbs even though I ate horribly and didn't complete all of my exercise.  I wasn't able to meet the weight goal for this weigh in however.  I was supposed to be at 143.8 lbs but I weighed in at 145.2 lbs.  This week I am going to work my butt off so that I can lose enough to make my weight goal for the month -- 142.0 lbs. Most of the reason for my failure (as in, I didn't eat well or exercise) has to...

Today is the second weigh in for March.  I was hoping to see the same kinds of results as I did last week, but no such luck.  I went up 0.2 lbs rather than losing weight.  I suck. This week I performed poorly.  I set weight loss goals that help to keep me on track for the week and I was only able to meet one of them.  They are as follows: 1. Lose 3 lbs (fail) 2. Drink 8 glasses of 8oz a day (fail, or at least I had to say fail because I didn't keep track of all my water) 3....

Yesterday I didn't workout.  I was supposed to do 30 min. of cardio according to the exercise program that I am currently doing (which I talked about in my last post).  I am debating if I should do the 30 min. of cardio today along with the strength circuit or just do the cardio.  The exercise program looks like this:                      FRI           SAT         SUN       MON      TUES    WED  THURS Week 2   Circuit B    Cardio    Circuit A    Cardio    Circuit B   Off      Off  If I just move everything over and change the cardio to today (Tues.) and then do Circuit B tomorrow (Wed.) then I will have...

Well, yesterday was my weigh in day and I am happy to report that I now weigh 147.0 lbs.  That means that I have lost 4.6 lbs since last Friday.  That is amazing.  I went from only losing 4 lbs last month to losing over 4 lbs in a week!! I wonder if it has anything to do with eating poorly the week before last (by the way, didn't put anything on that week so it is not like the weight that I lost had to do with extra weight that I put on).  I think some of the reason that...

McDonald's and Weight Watchers: Numbers Don't Add Up, but Pounds Might Weight Watchers (WTW) and McDonald's (MCD) have teamed up in New Zealand to create three meals that carry the weight-loss program's seal of approval: a chicken wrap, a six-piece McNuggets order and the classic Filet-O-Fish. All three combos come with a water or diet soda, and the McNuggets and Filet-O-Fish also come with a side salad. The partnership is made possible by "a number of significant and positive changes to our menu over the past few years," Mark Hawthorne, managing director of McDonald's New Zealand, said in a press release, citing...

Every other day I set challenges for myself.  I set the challenges before I started my journey for this month.  So far I haven't been able to meet any of them.  My first one was to schedule my whole day...Didn't notice that was my challenge until later that evening.  The second one was to wake up at 8 AM.  I noticed it the night before and then didn't get to be until late and cut the alarm.  My next one is for tonight.  I am supposed to go to the Alon-on meeting in my area, but I don't think that...

Topic Exercise: I don't know if it is because I don't know how to stick to a schedule or what, but I can't seem to exercise when I have it written down on my calender.  I always seem to be doubling up on days.  I am on a plan right now that requires me to workout 5 days a week with two off days.  I was supposed to start Friday but I didn't.  The next day I did Friday's exercise along with Saturday's.  Yesterday, didn't get a chance to.  Today I still need to. The workout says that I can change around the...

I have been dieting, or what I like to call making a life-style change, since November 2009.  I feel off the wagon in December, but luckily didn't gain any of the weight that I lost in November back.  To-date I have lost 25 lbs. Recently, I feel off the wagon again and because of this I have to start all over.  This means that I needed all new things to make me feel like I am starting fresh.  It is silly because I only feel off the wagon for 3 days, but that is just how I am (I did...

This week has been horrible.  My team is down, so no one to help me stick to accountability.  First weight-in for the biggest loser is tomorrow, but there would be nothing to compare it to because it is the first week. I have not exercised, or eaten right in like 4 days!!  I feel a little like a whale and to make matters worse, I have my period.  I hate where I am at right now.  I need some words of encouragement or something...
