It was nice having two weeks 'off' and now i feel rejuvinated (as much as one can be with sinus issues) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-1055028 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 09:39:05 +0000 sslm 1055028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies! Haven't checked in for a while!!! How is everyone doing?</p> <p>I lost 1.4 pounds this week which was a surprise because my mom was visiting and I didn't track points. Nursing for the win I guess! I'm down 28.8 lbs since 6 weeks pp. I'm about 6 lbs from pre-preg weight, and 20 from where I'd like to be. One step at a time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-1013899 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 15:01:05 +0000 cascademom 1013899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I gained a pound recently. I did so much walking last week, but also didn't cook as much as I would have liked. I'm cool with it and hoping that I keep losing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999505 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:20:23 +0000 looch 999505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! I feel better just getting it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999495 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:19:25 +0000 sslm 999495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: woohoo!!! You are doing so awesome!!</p> <p>@grizz: yay! Keep it up mama :) I don't exercise beyond TONS of walking with LO. Get that stroller going :)</p> <p>@looch: no worries!!! That happens to the best of us. </p> <p>I weigh in on Fridays so nothing to report... Will check back tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999491 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:18:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 999491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: No biggie, right?! I have been there (recently) too, but your plan is the best plan: one day at a time, NO GUILT, and move on! Just a minor baby hiccup on your road to success! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999474 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:14:00 +0000 looch 999474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been looking for this thread, but I couldn't remember the name of it!</p> <p>I gotta be real ladies, I gained some weight back. Feeling crappy about it, but I am putting it behind me as of tomorrow and will focus my next week on exercise. I will be on vacation so it will be much easier to get some workouts in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999463 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:12:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 999463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I am really trying to get to bed sooner, but there is just so much to do (I am still unpacking boxes from our move 2 months ago), and I always feel so behind! But my sleep is 1000% better than what it was for the first 9 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999451 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:09:21 +0000 blackbird 999451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misslipgloss, holy crap, midnight bedtime and 5:30am wake up? argh. </p> <p>I definitely prefer working out after work. But I make myself do it at home some mornings. As long as I'm in bed before 10, it's feasible :P Too many variables, though...yesterday, she woke up early and I only got half a video in. Bah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999384 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:54:12 +0000 Smurfette 999384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: You are doing awesome!!! </p> <p>@grizz: That is great! Keep it up.</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I have never been able to workout in the AM. Right after work was perfect for me. I don't like working out at night as much but I am going to have to do it. I usually go to bed between 930-10 but I am going to have to push it back. I have to do something I am so unhappy with myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999383 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:54:04 +0000 MsLipGloss 999383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I gained 60, but 30 fell off right away. Then I lost another 5, and hovered around that weight for forever (my OB said I was just one of the unlucky ones that wouldn't be helped by BFing). So now, I am working my way through the last 20. </p> <p>@cascademom: Congrats! Excellent progress!</p> <p>@grizz: Not to worry doll. It will all come off. It just takes time. But it *will* come off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-999370 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:50:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 999370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: It is definitely harder to find time for workouts! I used to be a 4:30 a.m. worker outer . . . but that all stopped during my first trimester (so so tired!) and then after I started walking again at lunch, I had pre-term labor at 22 weeks and completely freaked out about working out so I stopped. Now, I hop on the elliptical after I put LO to bed . . . if I don't then, I don't have the energy later. Then I eat, clean up, and prep for the next day, and fall into bed around midnight. I really want to do a.m. workouts again, but LO usually wakes up around 5:30 or so, and I am just too tired before then. *sigh* I guess I should just consider it a win that I am slowly getting back into things, and not try to change too much too fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-992998 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 11:42:01 +0000 Boheme 992998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm down 28.5 lbs today! 24 to go! I've been stressing because my LO doesn't sleep more than an hour at a time lately, so no gym for me. I feel like when I start WW, get him sleeping better, and can work out consistently I'll really start stripping it off. I hope, anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-992976 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 11:35:40 +0000 cascademom 992976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my Tuesday morning weigh in update. I lost 3 lbs this week despite eating not so great. I did a ton of walking with LO, so that probably helped. I'm at 207 lbs. I started Weight Watchers officially on June 23rd at 220 lbs, though that was already down about 2 lbs from the week before with my start on eating better. So, I've lost close to 15 lbs since the week of June 16. I can't wait to be out of the 200s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976112 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:59:32 +0000 sslm 976112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @Smurfette: @MsLipGloss: thanks ladies!! It's just getting harder to say no to cookies. Lol. </p> <p>@Smurfette: don't beat yourself up too bad! Just gotta get back on the wagon :) you can do it!!!!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I know exactly how you feel. I've never had more than 10-15 lbs to lose so looking at 50 was really daunting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976109 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:58:28 +0000 Smurfette 976109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I never thought that these words would come out of my mouth, but I miss going to the gym after work. I get R to sleep, then I wash bottles, get bottles ready, cook dinner for myself, watch TV/laundry/clean, talk to DH for a bit on the phone and then it is time for me to go to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976092 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:54:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 976092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I have done okay . . . I guess. *sigh* Dh just put together the elliptical, so now I have *zero* excuses! It's good because I eat better when I am working out, and I want to get the weight off (or at least a good chunk of it) before LO's first birthday . . . but I haven't ever had more than maybe 10 pounds or so to lose? So I am a little overwhelmed by 20! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976053 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:40:56 +0000 Smurfette 976053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: @sslm: Great job to the both of you! I have been SO bad. Not even following WW the last couple weeks. I feel awful. Tomorrow I am starting over. I can't keep this up, I feel like poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976038 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:32:08 +0000 MsLipGloss 976038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: You Can Dooo Eeeeeeeeet! I am so excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976020 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:28:40 +0000 cascademom 976020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Yeah! Congrats on the milestone. I desperately want a chocolate milkshake right now, so the motivation to continue is getting tougher. I'm determined to not weigh in the 200's or 190's when I get pregnant again. That's part of my motivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-976012 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:25:31 +0000 sslm 976012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: 10 lbs is a great milestone :) congrats!</p> <p>I hit (and passed) the 20 lbs mark on Friday! I'm pumped, but it's starting to get to that point where my motivation and discipline is faltering... Ack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-975686 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:04:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 975686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: Sweeeeeet . . . *just keep swimming!* :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-975678 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 13:03:06 +0000 cascademom 975678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Thanks! I'm excited to lose this much. I just need to keep chugging at it. I had a Cosi salad today with bread. It didn't kill my points either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-975621 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 12:48:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 975621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: That's awesome - congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/9#post-974975 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 10:08:07 +0000 cascademom 974975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since there's been multiple threads going about weight loss, I'm going to stick here. Today, I weighed myself. I'm down a pound, finally! It comes to a total of 10 lbs. on Weight Watchers and probably another 2 right before I started it. </p> <p>I still have 20lbs. to lose to be back at pre-pregnancy fighting weight. I wish I could remember how much I was pre-preg. I was close to 200, but can't remember the exact amount. Right now, I'm hoping to get to the 190's by Christmas or even less. </p> <p>@sslm: I figured out how to switch my Activity points versus Weekly Points swapping online. Now, I just need to measure my stride length to input my steps since I have a Fitbit to track my steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/8#post-955783 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:14:34 +0000 cascademom 955783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Okay, good to know. I'm going to keep that in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/8#post-955747 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 11:05:23 +0000 sslm 955747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: oh, I just do it kind of mentally. The ap automatically uses your weekly points first, but I just eat extra on the days I exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/8#post-955721 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:58:02 +0000 petunia354 955721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone use Bodyrock TV or Fitnessblender.com for workouts? I am starting an 8 week bootcamp on fitnessblender but am looking for other workouts too that I can do at home....other than Jillian Michaels :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/8#post-955705 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:53:49 +0000 cascademom 955705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: How do you your activity points before your weekly ones? I'm still pretty new to it, so I'm still figuring it out. I have to remember to log my activity points too. I have a Fitbit and have to do my stride length to enter my steps easier to show that I do get exercise throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weight-loss-buddies/page/8#post-955630 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:39:30 +0000 sslm 955630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: yeah I try not to use my weekly points, but all of my activity points. That puts me around 2 lbs/week. Since I'm breast feeding I want to keep it to no more than 2! I've done ww in the past and it always works for me, I love it :) </p>
