Weight loss gals! How's it going?

[emjacobs]

Lets check in and stay accountable!

How are you feeling?

What have you been doing?

Terrible!

I was doing so good, and then last week was hard - I was sick, had a sick baby, was all stressed out and definitely ate to cope.

Now every day I say I will get back on track and every day I slack off..I am not binging but I am eating dessert every day, starting to snack in the evenings..and I put back on 3 pounds as a result.

Argh. I can't seem to get back in gear but I know I need to.

[emjacobs]

Throw out the crappy deserts and snacks. You can still do it but change the choices.

I'm finally doing better. My doctor changed my meds and decided that I needed a specialist to get the best result. I'm down 5 pounds and my appetite has dropped.

Its things like my friend coming to visit and bringing donuts. My father in laws birthday cake, my mom taking me out for a fancy tea and ordering a plate of scones...and today is DHs birthday and I am making him angel food cake. Saturday is a big family brunch, Sunday is a big Easter dinner ....its hard right now with all these events and special occasions.

I'm doing good so far today though!

I'm exercising more. I really can't go much lower with my eating.
This week I'm OOT on business and I always lose weight on trips, so I hope I have a good weigh-in when I get home.

OOh, can I join the group? It's been a rough few months and I have been eating everything and anything and need some motivation. Is it just a check-in or do you set goals?

[emjacobs]

Anyone can join, no secret handshake

Really we just check in every once in a while, give motivation, look for ideas, etc.

I've been using MFP to track calories and really trying to stay under 1500 and preferably under 1200 everyday. I allow myself one day that I don't care if I go over.

If we want to share MFP usernames it can be great for motivation because everyone can see your diary.

Down 8 pounds this week (whoa!)

Feeling pretty good, although I'm super tired today. We eat Sonoma style and I try to work out 5 days a week.

[sratsey]

I'll join. I only weigh myself once a month...I take measurements. For me, that's a more accurate gauge.
I basically started working out 5-6 days a week and I've gone back to predominantly Primal Eating principals.
I probably eat about 2000 calories a day and I'm doing the Insanity workout series...I have one month to go.
Coming off the weekend, yesterday was my cheat day...there was bread, chinese food and girl scout cookies involved. LOL. Today it's back to egg whites, chicken breasts and spinach.
I actually feel gross this morning.

Way to go mrs j!! I've started swimming again and I'm amazed how hard it is. I was consistently top in races when I was younger but stopped swimming laps probably 7 years ago.

Strat tell me about primal eating. It sounds very meaty.

I've been doing very well. DH has gotten on board and that has helped out a lot. I've had a couple of splurges from our date night on Friday and our brunch yesterday, but I was able to still stay under my calorie goals for the day. However, MGD 64 is disgusting.
