Weight Loss Check-in

[orchideous]

Are these still happening?
I liked to see how everyone was doing!

[Roc A Bee]

I think they fizzled out, but I would like to see them start back up!

[penguinsidecar]

I haven't been part of it in the past. But, I've been wanting to lose about 10 pounds - and more importantly fit into the skirts of several suits that I bought last fall that are too tight.

I'm down 5 pounds, 5 to go.

[orchideous]

Lets start it back up again!

zero - this is definitely something I need to work on!

This week we were on vacation and ate out for almost every meal. The best meal we had was at Texas De Brazil in Orlando. It is a huge salad bar and then there are servers / cooks that come to your table and carve the meat in front of you. We had a great selection of filet mignon, some other cuts of steak, chicken, sausage. The meats were delicious!

-What's your goal for this week?
My goal for this week is to lose 2 pounds and workout 3x. The 3 workouts will be roughly 30 minutes each to ease me back into working out. It has been over 6 months since I have done any type of strenuous. physical activity.

So motivating to hear how everyone is doing.

[Awkward]

I'll play!

-What did you lose / gain this week?
-2 lbs, which is good, but last week was +4, so I'm still trying to recover from that.

-Total lost?
14 lbs! Woo!

-What program are you following?
I'm taking a "health makeover" type class I got a groupon for last fall. I took a test to determine my "metabolic type" and it spit out a diet plan. Basically I'm a protein type, which means a modified low-carb diet. The instructor also loosely follows the "good calories, bad calories" idea and I find not counting calories or points extremely freeing.

-How many times did you work out?
I went for a walk once, besides that I don't really work out.

-Best meal this week? (Can either be healthiest or just best tasting)
QUINOA! I've become obsessed with it and all the different things I can do with it. Hot, cold, leftover, fresh, it's all good.

-What's your goal for this week?
This week is the end of the 12 week class, so final weights and measurements. I'm hoping to be down a nice even 15 lbs, 3 inches in the waist and 5 inches across my hips!

[bananapancakes]

-What did you lose / gain this week?
Not sure about this week because I hadn't weighed in since April 14 but I lost 6 pounds between then and yesterday.

-Total lost?
33 pounds since January 9

-What program are you following?
Weight Watchers

-How many times did you work out?
This week, I didn't. Oops!

-Best meal this week? (Can either be healthiest or just best tasting)
Nothing stands out.

-What's your goal for this week?
Get at least three work-outs in and actually eat all the fruit and vegetables in my fridge.

I am down about 23lbs since January.

I wish I could attribute it to a great program, but really, it's been mostly stress and anxiety induced lack of appetite. :-0

I would take what I can get.
