This week lost 3.6 pounds, a 1.6% change From the start I have lost 6.2 pounds, a 2.76% change.
I worked my butt off this week to make the progress. I bet 5 of the days I did two workouts. I continued to eat 5-6 small meals each day and did not let a busy work schedule get in the way. We will just have to see if I can keep this a priority or if like many times before I lose focus. Overall, this lifestyle is leaving me with more energy and in a great mood. 2009 is off to an awesome start! I hope everyone else had a good week! Cheers, -j
O.k. I had it wrong...the online weight journal and calculator are too much for my little mind to work first thing on sat morning. So, I made a spreadsheet with auto calculations to make it easy....just plug in your weight for the week and you are done. Here are my numbers: 3.6 this week 1.62% 8.8 from start 3.86%
You just copy and paste to here...easy. It even has a graph of your weight. If you want a copy, send me an e-mail at john@mynewera.com and I will send it to you to make life easier! -John
This is getting harder already. Uh oh, need to REALLY eat better now.
.4 lbs this week .26% percentage lost this week 3.8 total lost 2.38% lost total
I managed another 5 workouts this week. Also bought a pedometer, so that has been interesting. I have yet to walk 10,000 steps a day! Maybe that will be easier in the summer. Still logging the food, and trying for more smaller meals.
I think my "before" picture is scarier -- and I didn't even try the side view :) Perhaps I need to do that.
I'm also just using an excel spreadsheet that is already set up thru the end of the competition and beyond. I actually even typed in goal weights each week to have something to aim for. I was .2 lbs short of my goal this week, so something to work toward next!
Way to go John! I'm anxious to see how everyone else did, and what other pointers you may have! I'll need them!
3.6 lbs lost this week 1.68% lost this week 10.4 lbs lost from the start 4.72% lost from the start
This week I accomplished going to the gym 4 times. However, I think this is not sufficient. I'm only going for half an hour.. I also ate pizza one night.. :( BAD GIRL AGAIN! It was multigrain crust though :D
Goals for this week: 1.- Go to the gym 4 times and workout for at least 45 min each time. 2.- Try to eat more healthy lunches. Maybe do more cooking myself!
I'm convinced that with the amount of extra pounds I have, I should be able to lose more weekly. By the way Kris and John, I don't think your before pics are scary at all! Good job everyone!
I lost .6 lbs, this week, Not great, but my husband was in Florida golfing and I didn't cook. I pretty much ate what was handy. Cleaning out closets and a really messy office was what saved me. I'm going to try to get on track now and start eating better and exercising, which I haven't done so far. I want to loose 13 lbs., am post menopausal and have a thyroid that dosn't work. With all that I'm just grateful that any weight is comming off. Anyway I lost .6 lbs. .44% this week. Overall weight loss is3.0 lbs and 2.16%
My weight loss was modest this week - but I think this week it is actual fat as opposed to water weight, which it was for the last two I think. Anyway - I also worked out 5 days this week. It sounds like everyone is doing a great job with workouts - so that is awesome.I am keeping a food diary as well and trying to get all my fruits and vegetables in. I am finding 8 cups of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit alot each day - but I am sneaking them in yummy smoothies etc. We made a DELICIOUS shake that I heard about on the Oprah show last week and it was THE BOMB! I really thought it tasted just like a real chocolate shake. I will post the recipe later for all. It is worth a try. Also, another hint - if you do smoothies, put some spinach in it. As long as you have some kind of colored berry in there as well - you won't even notice them because the berry color covers up the green and you get a serving of veggies in there too. It works great. Also, if you haven't tried Oprah's "green drink", that is also worth a try. I will post the recipe for that one too.
Anyway - here are my numbers:
1. -0.8 lbs this week 2. -0.46% this week 3. -7 lbs total for the competition 4. -3.86% loss for the competition
Nice job everyone. I will be the one to break the mold first in this competition. I actually gained this week. I knew last weeks numbers were too good to be true. I had a pretty stressful week and tended toward sleeping and eating instead of working out. I am still on track though for my long term goal of 0.5 lbs per week so I'm not going to beat myself up over it just yet. I've lost almost 20 lbs in the past 6 months and want to lose another 27 lbs. I've given myself the whole year to do that, but I think it will be a pretty difficult goal for me so I'll just take it a week at a time. I figure I have a better chance with the model of the tortoise then the hare's.
Here are my not so exciting numbers this week:
1. 1.25 lbs gained this week 2. 1% change this week 3. 1.25 lbs lost total so far 4. 0.96% change so far.
For those of you that need motivation to stay at the gym longer, here's an article on how music affects your workout: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/fashion/10fitness.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=workout%20music&st=cse
So this week wasn't very good for me, I seemed to eat out a lot and had really strong cravings, I think i will chaulk this week up to the wonderful time of the month that God bestowed upon all of us wonderful women. I didn't have the motivation to workout yet so i am hoping to get on track with that. I figured out my weekeness this week and that would be Pizza!!!! I had way to much Pizza. I think Pizza should be my new evil friend that i should just say no to!!!
Well Congrats to everyone on another wonderful week, keep up the good work.
Hey everyone! Keep up the good work. It was a little harder to stay motivated this week for me. I think the really cold weather here didn't help. It is already 45 degrees here today and supposed to be nice all week, so I am hoping that helps with the motivation. My numbers are as follows:
