PAL Biggest Loser - Day 1!

HisKathy · January 2011

Finally got my computer back with it's shiney new keyboard (and attached D key)

PM me with your starting weight (and if you want me to PM you back with mine to be fair, I can do that Wink

I'll be keeping track via the wonders of Microsoft Excel and will post next week after the weigh-in with percentage weight lost for the week, in order from most to least, declaring a "Biggest Loser" for the week. The winner will get a nifty icon to put in their siggy (that I have yet to create, just got my computer back afterall)

QOTW: What are you doing differently this time?

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

30 Day Shred, more water, and keeping a food journal, I think. And I'll start off slow this week. . . we have family in town and no real opportunity for workouts, so I'll deal with Jillian NEXT week.

Oh nd LOTS of ab action. . .

HisKathy · January 2011

This time I'm keeping a food diary. I'm writing down what I eat, approximate calorie counts and my general musings at the time. I have a real problem with mindless and emotional eating so hopefully this will help curb that!

DH was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Since he eliminated sugar from his diet, he's lost 60 pounds in 5 months so far. He has another 100 to lose.

I'm joining him. I don't have diabetes (yet) but it just makes sense. So, no more cookies, cake, candy, soda, or caramel macciato's for me, at least not unless they make them sugar-free. It's going to be a lifestyle change, forever. DH is on this for the rest of his life, and he's mine for that time - so this is forever.

I'm so glad you took the reigns on this Kathy. I'm sure that alone will be good motivation!

What am I doing differently? Well, I'm back to WW (which I did one other time) and I'm logging in every single thing I eat. I never realized how many tiny nibbles and bites and such that I take during the day, while cooking, feeding LO, etc... I want to be accountable for everything that goes into my tummy - and on my thighs!

JaimieLee · January 2011

My DH and I go out to dinner a LOT, so that's the main thing we are trying to change this year. It's sooo easy to over eat when we're out, there's always wine and dessert Stick out tongue

I am also going to seriously work on portion control.

And Ketch · January 2011

Can I play? I need to get rid of this baby weight and then some. We got P90X for Christmas and DH has already started. I did the first day and then came down with bronchitis, boo, but hope to get going again tonight. I see that working out together makes me a lot more accountable. My other pitfall is the food at work. I need to not be dipping into the candy jar!

I'm going to log all of my foods, including drinks (I tend to not log my drinks...) plus do at least 30 minutes of exercise four days a week. Also I'm going to not bake for the next 30 days! I love to bake but I also love to eat it, so I've got to stop doing that.

I'm going to replace soda with water.

And ygpm in just a few.

roundtheworldgirl · January 2011

I love this idea. I'm hoping my competitive side will kick my own butt

I started today with Day 1 of the Couch25k plan. Sucked. I also plan to work on a new eating goal every week. This week, my goal is to drink more water. I will drink a glass of water before I put anything in my mouth - including my morning coffee and my evening tea (both of which I take with creamer and sugar).

tiffanylaw06 · January 2011

Thanks for doing this Kathy. And also, thanks for not posting our weights. I hate sharing mine but only having to share it with one person makes me feel better at least.

This time, I'm focusing on DS. I know I need to do it for me, but I really need to do it for him. I'd do anything for him - anything - so I need to focus on that. I'm also turning 30 this year and using that to help fuel my fire. I am sick of being so fat. But as for other things, I'm keeping a diary of what I ate and also exercising. I used to run so I'm trying to get back to that.

Is this going to be a daily check-in?

lax15bsu · January 2011

Cutting out all sweets and sodas for starters. I'm not going to exercise much more than walking, because Z and I are having a bit of troubles BF the last few days. I'm afraid to do anything to drop my supply any more than it has.

BriAZ · January 2011

Well this is the heaviest Ive ever been too. Ive never really had to diet before... I think I dieted for 1 month to loose 5 lbs before my wedding LOL. SO, with that being said, I started to C25K program this morning. I'll also start WW next week probably. I need to borrow a few WW books from my MIL before I get started on that.

Addicted2thenot · January 2011

I want to do this with you all

I am starting slowl

3-4 walks a week & yoga 3 times a week

Also cutting unhealthy foods & late night snacks

Increase water intake

I will PM ya in a minute

Thanks Kathy

mommyof2tob · January 2011

YGPM Thanks for doing this! I am going to try to cut back on snacking and eating late at night. I got the Wii fit recently so I plan to put that to use!

cintim · January 2011

Ooh... I'd like to play. I've gained tons since DD1 & am currently at my heaviest. I'm going to do P90x again but this time DH is doing it with me so I'm hoping his support will keep me motivated. ETA: I will PM you later. I can't send PMs from my phone.

pepomntpat · January 2011

DH and I are doing WW together, so hopefully he won't sabotage me and I won't sabotage him. Before it's either been me on a diet or DH on a diet. Also, I joined a Stroller Strides class. I took the first one today and Ro loved being in the stroller and I liked being with other moms rather than just the DVD at home. Oh and it was a killer workout. I am going to be hurting tomorrow.

JenPVH · January 2011

QOTW: Just joined sparkpeople.com and trying it out. I am going to eliminate needless calories that I can live without like brown sugar in my morning oatmeal and drinking my coffee black (no cream). I will share my dessert with my DH so we each get half instead of whole and not eat dessert too frequent. Also drink 8 cups of water each day.

The biggest goal is making healthy choices long term, not just for the sake of losing but also maintain my weight loss. I am still searching for a fitness plan... I want something I don't mind doing for a long time. I don't want to do any quick programs but something I will enjoy in the long run.

HElizabethDU · January 2011

DH has gotten into running big time, so I thought I would give it a shot and do the Couch to 5k. Headed to the gym tonight as it is too cold here to run outside. At least my running shoes are cute, that is a plus, right??

AMG06 · January 2011

I'm doing Weight Watchers again. Nothing really different except the plan has changed since I last did it. I lost 20 lbs before then got pregnant so I obviously stopped dieting. Hoping to lose 10-15 lbs this time!

LemonLime10 · January 2011

Hmm...I guess the thing I am doing differently is not starving myself. I'm still part-time bf so I can't completely cut down on the calories. I'm doing WW but I took my extra 12 points for bfing. We'll see if it works!

daphne814 · January 2011

I need to run upstairs and weigh myself after this feeding, and then I will pm you. Dang it...I should've done the starting weight check BEFORE the feeding! Wink

I am planning on snacking less (or at least choosing healthier snacks, which will hopefully be easier now that the holidays are over!) and exercising more. I don't have a lot to lose, but I really want to get back to my weight and tone up a LOT. I am feeling the flab!

HoleyStory · January 2011

Low carb is what I'm doing differently. I stopped for the holidays but am going to pick it up again.

Erin RN · January 2011

This time I'm a lot more motivated to lose the weight. I also am going to eat out less and cut out the junk food. I hopefully won't be working nights too, so that should help.

kaydark · January 2011

I am going back to what worked for me before. I needed to lose 30lbs to get pregnant with DS. I cut carbs and went to the gym. I joined my gym about a month ago and have been going 3 times a week. I put DS to bed then change and go to the gum at 8pm. Its late but its the only time I can go. I refuse to give up time with DS for this I am also trying to drink more water.
