Healthy Check-In

hooligans4

So how did everyone do this week.

I want to thank the ladies from last week who wrote about MyFitnessPal. It is an awsome app. I have been using it all week and was surprised how easy it was to keep my calories around 1700.

Well I'm happy to say I lost another 2lbs. I did 25-30 min on the elliptical every day but Saturday and not today. And my eating was good all week but not so good this weekend. So we will see if I do as good on next weeks weigh-in.

Oh and by the way those size 14 that I couldn't even get on last month, I was able to get them on. They were skin tight but I got them buttoned. Woop woop!!!!

So please share your successes or struggles from this week.

I don't know if I lost anything. I do know I feel stronger and have a lot less stress:). I am up to 3 miles on my walk and yoga. I didn't do as well this weekend either! My H has been working 13-14 hr days 7 days a week hopefully it will be better this coming week and dinners can be planned better!

@samuelismomma I think mental health is just as important as physical. I'm so glad that you are feeling less stressed.

Three miles is awesome!!!!!

Great job on the loss @hooligans4!! I am also down 2lbs...although after yesterday, I'll have to see. But all that superbowl food was soo good!

I'm using myfitnesspal and it really does help you keep track and stay honest!

hooligans4!  My week was ok, but my weekend was not so hot - lots of family stuff, which always equals too much food and drink.  And the Superbowl definitely did not help!  Oh well, this week will be better!  Keep it up, everyone!

Great job with the exercise/weight loss! I didn't accomplish either if those things, but I did start Weight Watchers online (and I'm starving! I need to learn how to work the point system more effectively). Anyone here have experience with WW?

@Davie813 I was interested in the online program..do you like it? Do you just eat your own food and count them...I'm really only trying to tone, but wouldn't mind losing 10 lbs....haha.. @hooligans4 I did 4 miles and yoga goal is 5 ...then add like a ab routine...I don't want to do to much since can inhibit ttc...but things to Improve blood flow to pelvis. Good luck ladies!

@Samuelismomma, I just started it, so not sure how I like it yet.  You do eat your own food, and convert it to WW points by scanning the UPC code with your phone (if it has one) or entering information about  protein, carbs, fiber, etc...I'm kind of surprised by some of the point values assigned to things (it definitely isn't straight calorie counting) and wonder if I'll have a hard time getting enough protein, but my way of doing things sure wasn't working...I'll definitely keep you posted on how it works.
