Getting/Keeping in Shape March Accountability!! JOIN US!

I turn 42 tomorrow Anne. The last 2 years were supposed to be "my years" to get the extra weight off. With hubby's health issues, deaths, moving, etc....I ended up gaining.
After my birthday cupcakes this weekend....I am vowing to let the junk go, if only for a while, and get back in the Y and start walking again.

Good Luck. You've come this far, I know you can do it. I wish I had that same faith in myself.

 

Well, the last few weeks have been weird for me as I was losing weight and felt like I wasn't really trying. I almost thought I had developed a health problem that was causing it. But the last few days have been rainy and my steps have been lower and the eating out higher --- and 2 pounds came back. So yeah, I did earn that lost!

So onward to losing the extra 2. If you use where I started this week, I have lost 8 pounds since Jan 1. Either way, as of this morning, I am 2 pounds lower than what I have been in the last 2 years. I am only eating if I am hungry, avoiding breads and sweets, exercising, and drinking water -- and sleep.

 

My pitfall is sweets. UGH. lol

 

I know!! It was GS cookie season here and then Valentines Day -- but now I am hoping I can avoid them until Easter. The Easter candy is in the stores but I am not buying any until right before.

 

I would like to join you all who are determined to lose weight this year.
I know I need to exercise more and eat less.

 

I've GOT to get back on my weight control program!! I've been "nervous eating" lately and I can't stand it!! I'm IN!!

 

I never heard of those, but I am definitely gonna try them!!!!

 

I know I haven’t lost any weight this year, in fact i’ve probably gained but until I get this unknown fatigue sorted that’s most likely iron deficiency anaemia it’s not going to change. I then need to knuckle down and sort out my diet to help these blasted hormones (had a health scare this week which is all the more incentive to start balancing my hormones)

 

@AnneofAlamo I looked up recipes for the Fatbombs and they sound interesting. The ones I came across have Coconut oil so I plan on making some as I have a large bottle of Coconut oil sitting in the pantry for sometime waiting to be used on something so why not on Fatbombs!

 

I need to lose some weight too... I'm struggling to stay motivated this year but my plan is to lower carbs and increase movement.

 

I seriously need to lose some weight, so I am totally in. @AnneofAlamo How does the accountability thread work. Just stating that I want to lose some weight won't cut it for me, I need serious consequences if I don't,

 

ROFL. I think it's a motivational thread.

 

No here but lots of !!! You are welcome to list your specific goals, things like how much water you will drink, number of steps, etc. A big one for me is not eating after 8pm (my downfall is mindless snacking in the evenings).

Oh and lots of if you have a bad day, week, month... but really we just want to help.

 

Sounds good!!! Can't wait to see what you have in store

 

@BevG @LoveItScrapIt I might have been mislead by the "accountability" in the thread name,

But let's see what @AnneofAlamo is cooking up...

 

I've been "evening eating" again, Bev. That's my downfall, too. I have not eaten anything since dinner tonight. Last night, (the 1st) I had a handful of unsalted potato chips, but nothing tonight. That's how I put weight on and I know it!
