A few things to bear in mind.

1. If you miss a workout, don't ovecompensate next time, stick to the plan.

2. Don't rely on calorie counters, they're unproven and just guides only.

3. Don't necessarily aim too much for over ambitious targets, I.E. saying you're doing well now, but wanting to to achieve potentially overtaxing efforts in the Gym. You need to assess your limits for quality workouts, versus good recovery time, otherwise you could find you're starting to overtrain or push too much and get bad weight loss results like 5lbs or more per week, when you only need now, 2-3 max per week.

You are doing brilliantly, so just try to keep a sense of perspective yeah and don't be over ambitious, to the point where it starts to become detrimental, because you can keep pushing solidly, making one or two minor tweaks where needed and get the results, without trying to make it happen 10-20% faster than it needs to be.

if you wait longer to get a better quality, consistent result, you will really enjoy it better, knowing you didn't have to make constant changes and have dissapointing weeks.

As I said, you're doing brilliantly and before too long you WILL have a body to match that face, so GOOD LUCK and no worries okay.

Friday weigh in!

Post by rockchick_82808 »

Woot woot! Well as u all know bc of them oh so good christmas cookies I went from 213 to 221! Equaling to a total of 8 pounds gained. I weighed in today... I dropped to 217.8! So I lost a total of 3.2 pounds this week.

What I have done differently this week is work out more on the treadmill, and change up eating habits. I had started to cut what I normally eat in half. I had no idea how easily I do get filled up. That I have been stuffing myself just so I cleaned the plate. I also have been eating more fruits and veggies.

Talk about a great start! I can't wait to see how I do next week.

Talk about a good motivation. I had a friend read facebook status. She sent me a message how everytime she reads how well I am doin on weight loss it kicks her in the butt to start exercising. She actually told me thank u! It feels good to know I can help someone along the way. It keeps me pushing harder. I resisted on buying a really top yesterday bc the next piece of clothing I buy will be the 12 im aiming for. I can't wait to get there!

early weigh in

Post by rockchick_82808 »

i did weigh in a day early. i didn't loose any weight this week but i didn't gain any either thats a plus. i didn't really get to work out this week i was pretty busy but..i did start changing eating habits this week. i started havin more salads and eating breakfast and takin lunch to work. i bought a box of wheat thins so if i had the urge to snack at work that was what i had v.s the candy bars i'd eat all day or chips. so i'm not gonna let the lack of weight loss get me down bc i'm still improving on myself.

bf and i had decided to quit eating out all the time and eat in. we wont go out again untill bday in march. bf wants to loose some weight too. even his dad has started a diet! his mom is now makin all sorts of salads for us and different healthy foods. its great to be in a house hold that takes part in the weight loss. not to mention the support of bf and his participation in it with me. :) swe sat down one day and had a long talk about things mainly me and how i had felt about self all these years and lack of self esteem ect. so thats when he decided to help me. I'm excited to see what next week brings!

See what you started? You got 3 more people to think about their diet and what they are eating - making healthier choices, that is awesome! And the part about you talking to your bf and him supporting you, man that is beautiful. He sounds super sweet. :D

He really is a sweetie. Im soo happy that he's helpin me. It makes it a lot easier. That way I have someone to say no or think of what u ate today that sort of thing. Also he knew I can be too obsessive with the scale so im gonna have him hold onto it untill every friday so I don't get carried away.

That's great, but remember you can't force her to like how you do what you do, plus you have to take the senior role in this instance, as you have more understanding and experience than she does, so you'll have to be kind of her eyes and ears, and catch her back sometimes, so she knows she can feel safe and happy doing what she's doing.

This is a great chance for you to impact on someone else first hand, not just through the power of words, so GOOD LUCK and don't worry yeah :).
