HELP!!! I wanna lose weight!

[Ideal08]

I dropped off my TNT registration this morning. It's a done deal. I am training for the NIKE Women's Marathon in San Francisco. I'm really excited!!! Nervous as all get out, but super excited. I will keep y'all posted. I need to blog.

If I was lazy before, I can't be now. Training starts this weekend.

Great!

I did my on this past Saturday. So, you got the purple bracelet also? I'm doing philly and considering the Nike Marathon in October. I heard that course is VERY VERY VERY hilly. If I can raise the 7000.00, I'll do both of them. Maybe we can meet since I'll be out there all by my lonesome.

Didn't that video at the meeting make you cry. When that video was done, I was 'bout to jump out my chair and start runnin right then. and Hell...I don't even run!!! I'm walking my marathon. LOL.

I am exciting also. My training also starts this weekend.

Good Luck!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!! Yes, girl, I was all teary eyed!! I would REALLY love if you could do Nike. I would LOVE to meet you out there. Cincinnati is a very hilly city, so I'm getting used to walking up hills. Running up them is gonna be a different story. But I'm glad I'm not training in a flat city!

I haven't gotten my stuff yet. Yesterday was the day after the Flying Pig Marathon here (a man collapsed and died afterward, and of course I read that right after I pay my money ), so no one was in the office. They are mailing me my materials. My training is gonna be kinda special because I can't train on Saturdays (Sabbath), so I have to do my long runs (walk/runs, let's be clear) by myself.

Day 8 of Fat Smash!!!!! Tomorrow is the last day of Phase I but I might do it one more week. Or I may do Phase II some days, but still have Phase I days. I still have plenty of produce left over, lol. I do kinda want some fish, lemme stop trippin, lol.

I can't wait to get on the scale on Thursday!!!

Where can I get my % body fat taken?

i dont post in here often, but i wanted to check in -

im back on the "let's lose weight" thing. i got a personal trainer, switched gyms and trying to get back into it. i've had some pretty bad revelations around how i relate to food, and it makes it a lot harder to diet and excersize.

thats it for now. ill be back.

I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been doing right! I weighed myself last night and I have not gained a pound of the weight I've lost. That has encouraged me to get back on the good foot with my workouts. I really wish I could afford a personal trainer but they are so expensive.

Ok, so I cheated. I wasn't supposed to get on the scale until tomorrow morning. I couldn't wait. This is the 2nd time I've gotten on during these 9 days. I started on 5/1 at 182.5. This morning, Day 9, I'm at 174!!!!! The 180's are GONE y'all!!! GONE!!!!! TWO FANGAS!!!!! I seriously doubt if I lose anymore between today and tomorrow, but I'll still post what it is on Day 10, along with my measurements.

Eight days, 8.5 pounds... that ain't bad!!! Yeah, I'ma continue on with FS. Tomorrow starts Phase II.

I'm all happy for myself for making it through all 9 days.

Delph - congrats on maintaining!! From what I hear, it's harder to keep the weight off than it is to lose it.

Have a GREAT day, y'all!!! Remember, WE are in control, NOT the food!!!

YAHHHHHH!!!!! Congrats on the weight loss!! I am so happy for you!!

I'll be starting FS on Monday. I am still in the midst of my post-finals joy/sorrow. I need time to recuperate from the late hours, the sickness of possibly failing (though I'm sure I didn't), the anticipation of grades, etc. I'm just happy to be able to sleep again!

I haven't gained any weight. I'm still the same. Hopefully, I'll have similar success as Ideal and lose about 8 pounds. That would be GREAT! I wonder if I could lose about 10 if I stay on it for about 14 days (2wks). I could use a 10 pound loss to jump start my weight loss again and put me back on track. I also dropped back down to Stage 1 on SparkPeople. I had been on Stage 2 for about 6-8 wks., but since I have been off-track for about the past 3 wks., I want to go back to the beginning.

I'm pumped!! Hopefully I can start my last year of school by making it to Onederland. I need about a 30 pound weightloss. By the time I graduate, I'll (hopefully) be at my goal weight. Then I'll be ready for my new, post-school life!! Let's get to losing!!
