Losing Weight with Starscream - Page 51

Starscream · 04-16-2010, 08:20 AM

I've jumped off the wagon the past two weeks. I've gained about five pounds...

Gonna take the weekend to eat good and get back to healthy eating and exercise on Monday.

shilala · 04-16-2010, 08:41 AM

I'm still hanging around 205. Still a lot higher than I like.
My symptoms have been really bad for the last week, so I don't expect much. When I'm in bad shape I don't eat at all because the pain makes my stomach roll, but as soon as I get a window I eat a lot. Add inactivity to that and it's tough to manage my weight.
It'll all come together shortly, I'm sure.

I've gained since my last weigh in too. The last couple of days have been kind of brutal. My brother keeps breaking out the plain ruffled chips with dip.

Need to get this back under control.

Have faith brother, we will persevere.

198 this morning. not a lot of exercise the past two weeks but eating well and still feeling great. I actually went swimming the other day for the first time in 5 years. That's how bad I felt about the way I looked. I hadn't been in a swimming pool since I was 28.

Recreational swimming or turning laps? Keep up the good work, Scott.

Go ahead and buy them. They could make the difference.

I'm not going to report in today and embarass myself, but in three weeks I'll give a full report.
Switching over to low carb as of today for a bit. All lean meats and green veggies. Low carb, high fiber.

Hello all! I thought I'd get in on this thread seeing as I've just hopped back on the weight-loss bandwagon. I'll give you a bit of background on my situation. About 5 years ago I started Weight Watchers. At the time I was 267 lbs, and my goal weight was around 175. In a span of 8 months, I lost 77 lbs. Then, I lost my job. I got a job as a courier, which made it really difficult to stick to the plan. It took me over a year to lose the last 15 lbs, but I did it. The problem was that by the time I did it, I decided "Hey, I'm done! I don't need to follow the plan anymore!" So, in 3 years, I gained it all back.

So, my starting point is about the same as last time: 266.4. I want to get back to being 175 one year from now, and I think I can do it. I'm not a courier anymore, so it's a bit easier to avoid the drive thru pitfalls. I went back to Weight Watchers about a month ago and had been doing well the first couple of weeks. I'd been walking about 2 miles a day 3 times a week; but then I ramped up the walking too much (3.5 miles every day) and my knees rebelled. I had to rest them for a week, and I'm gingerly getting back into it. Unfortunately, I fell off the healthy eating wagon that week, so I'm at square one. Fortunately, I'm still feeling motivated so starting today everything is back on. Wish me luck, and I will post updates on my progress on Saturdays.

Good luck to everyone!

Best of luck to you, and post here often for updates and support!

I'm as big as a house. I landed at about 215 now, gained a good 20 pounds.
It's gonna be a probelm till I get my meds ironed out. I'm not sweating it. I'll be skinny as a rail by the time summer is over.

pfm721 · 05-17-2010, 02:50 PM

I guess I'll jump in here also. Was between 185-190 all throughout college and now I'm at 240, which is down from 247 from a couple of weeks ago. I'm dieting and working out daily. I'm prepping for a sprint triathlon in September and hope that after all the hard work this summer I'll be down around 210. My ultimate goal would be 200, at 6'2" I feel like that's a reasonable weight for me.

goalie204 · 05-18-2010, 05:56 AM

I've been doing weight watchers and watching what i eat for a while now (with some occasional slip ups) - but i finally started walking 9 days ago. First time in my life ive done any activity and stuck to it. I don't hate it anymore, but i still don't love it. Hopefully i can increase the amount over time. To start i am doing around a mile in 20 minutes (> 3.0 MPH) and doing about 1.2 - 1.3 miles every morning. Just starting, but im really trying.

Starscream · 05-18-2010, 12:47 PM

Good to see some participation again here, as well as some new faces. I switched over yesterday to a low carb diet. I like low carb, but I need to watch my sodium and cholesterol level while I do this. Two omelets today have killed my cholesterol for the day.

fhrblig · 05-22-2010, 09:15 PM

Ok, normally I will try to post my updates in the morning but I had to work today. I weighed myself today and I am at 259.4. (When I weigh in I am fully clothed.) So despite my knee issues and falling off the wagon a bit I haven't lost any ground, in fact I lost 1 pound. I did start walking again at the end of this week and the knees feel good, so I'm excited to be back on track. Hope everyone is keepin' on!
