Motivational Tuesday

Ok – so I figured out I had some water weight on me.  I increased my water intake yesterday and I was 1 1/2 lbs lighter this morning!  WHOO HOO!!  I figured it was water weight!

I heard from a couple of you!  One of you lost a pound last week (way to go) and another has lost 10 pounds so far (began the diet about the same time I began this blog)!!  YEAH!!!  Keep up the good work!  It will pay off.

Please bear with me as I seem to get very busy and forget to make posts here…I am going to try my best not to forget to posts on here!  In fact I am fixing to write a good Resourceful Tuesday post!  It will be up as soon as I finish typing it!  :-)

Motivational Tuesday

Yes I know it is already Wednesday!  I am so sorry I didn’t get this posted yesterday!  I just never found the time.  It was one of those days!!

Anyways, it looks like we had some good weigh ins!  I lost 2 lbs and 1/2 in in my mid-section and hips!

We had another participant who lost 2 lbs,  another one is down 5 pounds since she started trying to lose weight.  Another person lost 1 pound.  And another didn’t lose any weight but lost 1 1/2 inches!!

As always – remember slow and steady wins the race!  :-)

I read a good suggestion this morning.  If you are counting calories round up your calories…for example if the serving is 280 calories round it up to 300.  This will help make up for “hidden calories” that don’t get counted.

Have a great day and keep it up!!  As I have been told several times before…you didn’t gain the weight all at once so you can’t expect it to come off all at once!

How did you do at weigh in yesterday?  Were you pleased?  I hope so!  If not keep at it – you will get there!

Here is what I heard from the group this week!!  I know of 2 people that lost 2 pounds last week and one person who lost 9 pounds and one who lost 10 pounds! 

I have heard from several that they are enjoying the ww points system and are surprised at how easy it is to follow!!  Are you doing something besides WW points that is working for you?  If so would you mind sharing with the group?  It may be helpful for someone else!

Have you discovered any new recipes that you just fell in love with? If so please share!  I had a new recipe every day last week I think and we enjoyed all of them.  I am going to get them posted on the recipe blog.  I just haven’t sat down to do it yet (did I tell you it is a bit hectic week :-)??? )

If you have good news to share please do!!  We all get motivated by good news of others!!

Motivational Tuesday

Well I did receive some response yesterday to the weekly weigh in post!  Hopefully we will have more response as we go along and people see how it works :-)

I will first share mine.  I weighed in yesterday morning at 161 pounds.  (this is 35 lbs from when I started this lifestyle change back in August!) My goal is to be 145 pounds in 3 months and to have my body (especially my mid-section) smaller and more toned!

Here is what we had in responses.

We have one participant who is currently 189 pounds and starting the “lifestyle change” today! 

We have a participant who is 227 pounds and has a first goal to be under 200 pounds!

We have a participant who is 238 pounds and also has a first goal to be under 200 pounds!

I am hoping that once we start hearing about how much weight people are losing it will give us all motivation to keep going!

If you have visited the blog today you may have noticed that the background has changed.  I decided to put up a Valentine’s background.  I think having a goal for Valentine’s day would be good!  Valentine’s Day is 2 days shy of being 6 weeks away.  How about setting a goal of being 10 to 15 pounds lighter by Valentine’s Day.  I think that is a very achievable goal!   How fun would it be to go on a Valentine’s date with your clothes fitting looser!!

You can do it!!
