shel90 · 11-02-2007, 10:29 PM

I need to lose about 70 lbs but my motivation to exercise is not there like it used to be even though I have started walking around my neighborhood since moving in this house.

Count me in! I used to be an exercise freak and I would love to get back to my old exercise routine.

I am no expert in healthy eating, its been a real commitment and lifestyle of making the right choices when it comes to food for me. I am not saying cut off all your fave chocolates or anything. Its okay to snatch a cookie or crave that chocolate cake just know how to control the eating. Its better to go off than to deprive yourself bec you know can always get back on track again.
One tip I can pass down while working get an exercise belt that helps make you sweat remember drink lots of water. You will notice a difference in a few weeks.
I hope we all share helpful tips and suggestions about food choices.

Here Start...

Name: Shel90

Final Goal:150 lbs

1month Goal (for 12/5): lose 4 lbs

What type of diet: balanced...but too much cheese. I love cheese. Should I cut cheese out of my diet?

................

Dixie · 11-03-2007, 09:47 AM

Hey I'll join. Im too young to be obese but I am! In the last three years I have ballooned from 120lbs to about 178 lbs. Im telling ya the extra weight on my frame ain't lookin' good for me.

So here I go:

Name: Dixie
Final Goal: 135-125lbs. Somewhere in there for me. Any less than 120 lbs and I start looking sickly.

1 month goal: 12/3/07 - 10 pounds. (10 pounds in 30 days? Can she do it? Can she stop gaining weight to become the biggest loser of the month?? ) Hey if you're gonna do this ya might as well have fun doin' it.

What type of diet: More balanced. Im eating too much junk and not enough of the healthy stuff. I've started ordering a salad from the cafe' for lunch on Saturdays, but I'd rather have a good leafy salad everyday for lunch, then something meaty for dinner.

Oh yeah here's a free tip from Dixie:
when you get the urge to munch on something - go eat some ice cubes. You trick your brain into thinking its eating a sneaky snack, but instead your'e eating ice cubes and it adds to your daily water intake keeping you hydrated.

Dixie · 11-03-2007, 09:49 AM

Shel - you ain't seen cheese freaks til ya come down to my house - me and my DD will fight over the last slice of cheese sometimes. (But I usually end up splitting it half and half with her)

................

No, unless you feel your eating too much. Cheese is actually a protein you use it in salads, eggs (another protein food) even to just snack on. Since, everyone is different with the intake of food we choose.
I am more of a protein eater vs carbs. I do like carbs such as breadsticks are soo good and lasagna yum!
I like that tip Dixie, eating ice cubes will try that.
Another tip drink ice water with slice of lemon it makes water more tasty.

I am not crazy about carbs in general except for rice but I eat that maybe once a week. I am trying to snack on more fruits and veggies but I am constantly craving for spicy foods hence the cheese.

Dixie · 11-03-2007, 11:29 AM

Go drink some habanero sauce - your craving will be satisfied for quite a while,

Final Goal:lose 20 lbs.

1month Goal (for 12/5):start slow 1 lb.

What type of diet: eating less move more

Bear · 11-05-2007, 06:51 AM

Name: Bear

Final Goal: 117 pounds

1month Goal (for 12/5): to lose 8 pounds *realistic is 2 pounds a week*

What type of diet: 1200 calorie a day diet.

Right now I am very overweight. I need to go from 294 pounds to 117 to be at my goal weight. I say this support group is an excellent idea.

Bear · 11-05-2007, 06:53 AM

P.S. A suggestion when exercising a calorie burner counter thingie does wonders in knowing if you are exercising enough. Also remember to write down how many calories you are eating daily.

Bear · 11-05-2007, 06:56 AM

My doctor told me that each slice of cheese has 100 calories. So really its not that healthful to eat alot of cheese. Dang for me too as I am a cheeselover as well.

Here is a healthy tip to get your cheese fix. Broccoli and cheese bakes. You don't eat quite as much cheese and broccoli is healthy. Although I hate broccoli.

Mistyrose · 11-10-2007, 08:01 AM

I lost 26 lbs!...sooo proud of myself!! so is my
doctor!! lol!
I need to lose about 10 or 15lbs she says but i think
i will make it my goal of 20 lbs!..
I do feel a whole lot better and my blood sugar is
sooo much better, even my cholesteral is down alot
too!

Foxrac · 11-10-2007, 09:58 AM

I'm trying to lose my weight but my mind still in habit with soda, I have very hard time to break my habit (same as quit) to drink soda and junk food.

That's frustrated me right now.

***Jolie77*** · 11-10-2007, 10:05 AM

I think a weight loss support group is an excellent idea. Count me in. :-)

These tips are great and that will help all of us to improve our eating habits. Lifestyle is another thing because it affects how we eat as well.

I have the tendency to eat more chickens than beef products. The problem is, I am a big carb eater. I love those starchy foods too, ha. Yeah, starchy foods isn't that healthy either.

I recently purchased a smoothie mixer and have started buying some ingredients that makes a good smoothie. It contains fruits as well which is a plus. I've only been using it once in a while but down in the road, I'd like to start using it as much as I can.

My final goal is to reach at 150 lbs. Anything less than that makes me look boney. In overall, I just want to be fit and healthy.

Dennis · 11-10-2007, 10:07 AM

We need a weight GAIN support group for us bodybuilders!

Original weight 1/1/07: 160
Current weight 11/1/07: 175lbs

I need to get a body fat measurement. I'm hoping to get down to 6-7%. I estimate I'm at 8-10% today. My abs still aren't showing up.

Dixie · 11-10-2007, 04:15 PM

Actually Dennis 8-10% body fat is ridiculously low you need around 20% body fat depending on body type plus women need slightly more body fat than men. But anything over 30% body fat is too much.

Mistyrose · 11-10-2007, 05:46 PM

I think weight loss support groups like Weight Watchers are
fine if you can get interpeters to help you understand what you
need to know about losing weight and all.
I had to have one when i went for diabetic/nutrition classes
to learn how to change my diet and all...not that im a diabetic,
i was just pre-diabetic which could result into a full blown
diabetes if i didnt completely overhaul my diet. I did just that
cuz i didnt want to develop diabetes, and as a result i lost 26 lbs!
My doctor was so proud of me and told me that my blood sugar
is back to normal. Of course, i will always have to watch what i
eat for the rest of my life...i always will eat healthy, and of course,
i will occassionaly have a little bit of sinful sweet stuff, lol! like a small
bowl of yogurt ice cream or a piece of vanilla cake once in awhile,
not everyday, of course...as the dietitian says.

SxyPorkie · 11-10-2007, 06:01 PM

Wow....What a wonderful idea for all AD'ers who are interested in losing weight..I can remember when i weighed 205 lbs.. I went on the crash diet.. i ended up in the hospital ...so doctor told me not ever to be on the crash diet... can go on diet losing at least 2-3 lbs a week... so i did... i cut down fatty foods... went down to 135 lbs.. then i got married.... i gained some weights... i weighed 169 lbs when my husband passed away....
5 ,months later... i had bad car accident and was bed ridden for about 5 months.. my weight went down to 90 lbs... it took me about two years to gain back to 130....now my room mate passed away a week ago.. i already lost 15 lbs.. now i weigh 115 lbs....i am trying to gain some weight so i would feel better.. but with the radiation treatments... ughhh..... lost some appetites... three more weeks before treatments are over... i prolly will gain .. i hope...

best luck to every one....
