2010 Shamrocks Weight Challenge

[SpecialK 22]

Hi candy. Sure come on in and join our weight accountability thread. When did you have surgery? I have found staying in touch with the March 2008 bandsters a real help to me. Also there is a +100 lbs to lose thread where all those folks understand what it is like to have to lose more than 100 lbs and even more than 200 lbs -- I have a total of 200 I am trying to lose.

Stay in touch and you'll get there a day at a time.

My best advice is use www.mydailyplate.com and start writing down for the next 2 weeks everything you eat. Hold yourself accountable. Don't show it to anyone else. Remember that you have to burn more calories than what you eat. If you eat 2000 calories you need to burn 3000 calories and I can tell you I find it hard to burn 2700 calories in a day now that I weigh less.

Get exercise every day. Some kind - walking, free weights, or whatever you can fit in. If you have a gym and can commit to 30-45 min of Cardio at least 4-5 times a week that should help alot.

Good job special K. I'm staying in the low 140's most days hoping to be under 140 soon.

I had a solid drop to hit my -133 lbs mark and then have bounced up and down a bit this week. Going to buckle down and make sure that 221 number sticks and keep going down from there!

Celebrated my 2 year bandiversary this past week.

Was down to 139 yesterday morning back up to 140 this morning, I guess I should have left the cake alone. Oh well will keep working at it.

I'm bouncing up right now and I think it is due to the amount of heavy yard work so maybe my sore muscles are retaining some Water weight? I really haven't been eating badly so that is all I can figure. Just keep working it one day at a time. Still on track for my BR surgery April 22. I'm trying to get as much exercise and yard work in before that because I know I'm going to be limited for most of May and maybe into June for any major lifting stuff.

I haven't posted to this accountability thread in a while but I do want to get on track and hold myself accountable to keep going downward now that I am past my BR surgery. I am so hoping that as the summer comes, I can get the level of activity I hope the BR will let me have, and the pounds will go down a little more quickly.

I've been on this same set of numbers for what feels like forever and it is definitely my own fault - splurged on carbs and sugary things while I was recovering from surgery since my sister was here and loves all those things too. Back on track this week pretty well now that I am back to a normal working schedule.

Feels good to see progress! It does seem like my body gives up a couple pounds, then bounces up and down around that number for awhile then lets me lose another lb or two! Just glad to be moving on down! I had hoped to lose 40 lbs in 2010 and that would be about 20 lbs in 6 months ending June 30 so I gotta get to 212 to make that goal according this this tracker thread.

Sounds like great progress! After July 4th I want to get filled again. I am on a backslide of a few pounds and want to lose 30lbs before I go on a cruise in November! Great to hear your posts!
