Are we still doing weight loss check ins?

Mrs_JR

I can't remember what day we were doing them and I haven't been on much lately, so I might have just missed them.  Are we still doing them?  I need some motivation!

I wanted to but it seemed like less and less gals were checking in!

We can chat! I have a mini AW! I ran for a FULL mile last night! I have NEVER ran a full mile w/o stopping! I feel WONDERFUL! I felt great last nigth and still do today!

What's got you down?

Mrs_JR

Good for you!

I just haven't ran for almost 2 weeks.  The beginning of the month is always so horrible for me because work is extremely busy.  I haven't gained anything back (still down 10lbs), but it still bums me out.  I really want to do the dam to dam 5k and I'm losing the endurance I was working so hard to build.  I also REALLY want to enjoy the pool with my kids this summer.  Wearing a bathing suit has always interfered with that and I don't want to allow it to anymore.  Warm weather is right around the corner and my body is no where near ready

I have no idea!

I'm still BFing so I need more calories in a day too than non nursing women.

Nicole - if I get more of my food charts copied, I will give you some! I lost 2 lbs per week eating 2300 calories a day :-). Granted, bfing really helps, but most people don't eat enough because they think that eating less makes the biggest difference! It is just eating enough of the good stuff! I suck at it because I LOVE sweets, but writing it down on these charts really helped me! I am just going to get back into it!

I just bought the book Clean Eating Recharged, not all the way through it, but so far I REALLY like the principals.

Also, if you're not eating enough calories, you won't lose. even if you're eating healthy.

I am down 20 pounds since we started the check in on 1/3. Still counting points, slowly getting back into exercising since I hurt my back. I am hoping I will lose more quickly once I am working out more.

All-His

S/o diets, a really simple one that work(ed) for me was to eat 300 calories for breakfast, 400 calories for lunch and 500 calories for dinner.  Then I'd eat 2 snacks, usually a 100 calorie one between lunch and dinner, and a 200 calorie evening snack (I have to have one before bed!)

It always has seemed like plenty of food, for only 1500 calories.  Obviously you want to eat healthy, and I *try* to do so, but at the end of the day when it comes to weight loss, it is just simple math - calories in and calories out.  I stuck by this plan in college and ate a (lowfat) small ice cream cone at every single lunch AND dinner, and still lost weight (salads w/ low cal dressing were my friend).
