I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
Ellemeno:
John, thank you for posting that article in this thread.
CellarDweller:
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This is what happens when you allow yourself to get lazy and stray!
218 pounds. The last time I used this counter, I was down to 206! I let myself gain 12 pounds since July!
Time to get back to work!
Shakesthecoffecan:
Hang in there, its a journey more than a destination. I wanna go back to bed.
Lynne:
Lynne de Licious sounds a bit like a porn name, but I'm on board :).
I will have to refer to where I started - I just went up from there, then I ignored it for awhile.
As of this weekend, tho, I'm at 198 and I think on a downwards trend. For some inexplicable reason, I've stopped (almost) eating everything in sight, or even on my plate.
I have been gravitating toward more whole foods, and doing OK with that, although once in awhile I need a diet coke caffeine perk in the afternoon. So, where am I? 40-50 lbs to go. I need to make exercise a priority, but sleep and work trump it every time.
:-\
I've been drinking whole milk, using real cream in my coffee, etc... because I'm being paranoid about not getting enough Ca. It seems to dampen the appetite even though it's more calories.
Meryl - I'm glad you're having luck with the WW points. I love their on-line points counter and other tools. I've used it a couple of times over the years, but basically all it does is tell me where I go wrong. I don't have any problems until dinnertime, then it's a free-for-all.
::)
Lynne:
OK - I found where I started, but I didn't put down any actual figures. However, in May or so of this year, I weighed 99 kg, or 218 lbs, absolutely my heaviest ever, at the doctors, so I've lost about 20 lbs since May. Since I still think I need to lose 50, I imagine I was around 200 when I made my first post here. I'd be happy with 150, but 130 would make the actuaries happy.

I haven't weighed in a few weeks, but count me in for 50 lbs, just to stick to round numbers.
Here's what I've been doing - going to yoga 1-2X/week and working on de-stressing and meditation.
The Plan for 2010 is to
1) continue the yoga and de-stressing
2) find some time somewhere for cardio at the gym I'm paying for but not using
3) get enough sleep - like Clarissa says
4) have afternoon tea and an energy bar so I'm not starving for supper so I grab what's at hand
5) cut back on alcohol consumption to no more than 2 per evening 2 times a week

Very little of the above has come to pass...There's progress on 5, but that's about it.
