Biggest loser on CF.....

[ido]

Yaaaay Inkabink!!


So yesterday I was really dragging (middle of the night migraine) so I rolled out of the house about 10 ish in my PJ's that I didn't really sleep in, no makeup and sunglasses and good LORD how I needed some coffee!

I went to Krispy Kreme's, ordered a medium coffee..... and a doughnut.

I love doughnuts, but I usually went to Dunkin' Doughnuts. That is, once upon a time, when Molly ate doughnuts. They have ah-mazing blueberry cake ones. ANYWAY, I ordered one from KK hoping it would be half as good. I took one bite of the sugar infused, bland, icing drenched catastrophe, and something happened to me that I can only compare to an ice cream headache, the taste of metal, nails on a chalk board and the way your jaw feels when you eat something really really sour. All at once.

All of this is to say...... this incident alone may have ruined me on doughnuts (and most sugary delicacies in general) forever.

I've always had this monstrous sweet tooth.... is it possible that eating healthy as a habit for a while can make that go away??

They say that eating fresh fruits will curb your desire for sugary, fat-laddened treats.

But give up Dunkin' Donuts forever? I'm a glazed chocolate cake donut girl myself...I can't imagine life without them (once very 6 months or so)!

I lost 49 lbs with Weight Watchers, it promotes a healthy lifestyle and not just dieting. I have however strayed and gained back 13 lbs. I am recommiting and returning to going to meetings tonight.

Way to go on the weight loss! Keeping it off can indeed be a challenge. Good for you that you are recommiting to taking off the weight you've re-gained. Keep us posted on your progress!

Oh - Welcome to CF!

I'm jumping on the bandwagon.... I want to lose the weight that I've gained this year.

So far I'm down 1 pound. Small success... but it means so much to me!

Well, last week I was walking every night, but then Friday I got my...*dramatic echo*...DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION GAME!! My son and I have been SO excited while waiting for it to come! We didn't even eat dinner, we just went right to work getting it set up. I think we played on it till about 7:30 or 8:00 before I told him he HAD to stop and have something to eat lol. We've been playing it every day, it's so much fun and such awesome exercise. I've never found anything that got me all hot and sweaty and wasn't miserably boring or unpleasant. I found it now!! I plan to do at least 30 minutes every night on it.

Haven't weighed in for a few days due to impending period...bleh...Bloat City.

Thats how my husband started losing his weight when he first started, I think he said he lost 30lbs just by doing that. Its good exercise

15 pounds down and 8 to go. Planet Fitness opening up down the road has been the best thing. It is amazing what exercising and not eating a whole bag of Reese's mini peanut butter cups a night will do for you.

Great Job, you're almost there.

Isn't moving your arm back and forth eating the whole bag of Reese's exercise?

So I was going to take it easy today, but then this babe showed up to where I do my Sprints on stairs. I couldn't let her down. I ended up going balls out longer than I wanted to; man am I going to be sore tommorow. Its a good hurt though.

I'm feeling pretty terrible about myself. I think I might have some sort of health problem. I keep gaining weight. I work out an hour a day, and I don't eat very much. I am frustrated and I don't know what to do. I think that I could easily slip into an eating disorder, I have been skipping meals lately. I am also constantly thinking bad thoughts about myself. I don't know what to do anymore

Think Godly thoughts

Your imagination can think anything it likes, but we have the Mind of Christ, and bring all thoughts under subjection to the obedience of Christ.

Hang in there. I know of a lot of people who face similar issues. It is probably a metabolism issue, and skipping meals will just lower your metabolism!

I would recommend going to someone to get a diet and training schedule. However, if you don't want to do that I would recommend the following for the diet. First, determine what you want to weigh. Then find out how many calories that is (probably ~1500 is close). Then start eating that many calories per day spread over 5 meals. Now counting calories and all of that is a pain, but try it for two weeks and see if you get results. It is a lot better then feeling bad because you aren't getting the results you want and deserve.

(and continue with the 1 hour per day exercise)

Haven't been in here for a while - I have lost some more weight and yesterday I got into a smaller dress size which was my goal for the end of the summer.

So I'm happy about that but now all the stuff in my closet is too big and looks rather sloppy on me. So I've got to find some new clothes. Cheap ones, too, because I don't want to spend a lot of money and then just have the same thing happen again as I continue to lose more weight.

 

[scraparcs]

I hate that too. That's why I think I'm gaining weight again

 

[GoodNewsJournalist]

When I watched last seasons biggest loser, I was at a 193 pounds. I realized, if I continue to gain the weight I was gaining every single year in the next five years, I would probably be 250-270.

I decided to walk everyday, and when Wii Fit came along, I did it every single day. I am now hover at a 170 pounds, bringing me into healthy weight balance!

What an excellent website. Lets keep it going!

I've lost 8lbs and want to lose 12 more by the beginning of Nov. I need to keep walking, it's the only way I lose weight.

First, I have to address some things here. I watch the Biggest Loser to learn how to adopt a healthy lifestyle. One of the factors of weight gain is stress. You sound stressed out that you are not losing weight. Stop. You are going to make yourself sick. Just relax.

Second, you need to eat every single day, and lots. When you don't eat, your body slows your metabolism down, because it is trying to survive on the amount of calories you put into it. So if you are not eating very much, you make it harder to lose weight.

For instance, I eat three snacks and two main meals a day. I eat a lunch of a Cup of soup and a sandwich. Just before I excercise, I eat some fresh vegetables with some dip, to provide some food in my system that is easy to digest. Then I have a regular dinner, and then I eat some pop corn, which is good for fiber, or so I have been told, and then some cereal, either when I get up or before I go to bed. Does this sound like I am not eating much. Yet, I have lost over 20 pounds in 7 months.

On the weekends, I go nuts. I eat potato chips, ice cream, candy, pop and anything else I want, because those are my high calorie days. That tricks my body into metabolizing more calories on days I restrict on my food intake.

I am posting this, sister, because what I just read alarmed me, and no child of God should be living in that kind of mind-set. You are a child of God, and he made you perfectly. You just need the knowledge on how he built your temple, so you can maintain it.

You will never lose weight, if you don't eat healthy.

I forgot this thread existed. I've actually gained weight. Way to go, tink! :/
