losingjusme

Amelia, yikes!! i hope the PT works too. just an FYI, there is a july accountability thread going as well. that may be more active. i started this board for my accountability to myself, but you are more than welcome to stay and post here too ...

wen, that is SO not a binge .. i understand your frustration though since you are trying to cut out snacking. and there is no possible way that you gained 2 lbs over night ... doncha love Water retention?? deanna, you are doing a great job. dont let this discourage you. that is a GREAT NSV with the pants!! i am a strong advocate on taking measurements and pictures ... you are all doing a great job. keep it up!!

slump - try daily ... i've been doing early mornings since February-ish (new job). i started getting up at 500 (it was 530 before that) then gradually increased my time working out, so i had to get up even earlier .. :faint::faint: i now set the alarm for 427am and actually get out of bed no later than 445. all depends on how tired i am. i usually get to bed about 1000 - 1030 at the latest.

Julie, please dont get discouraged. everyone loses at a different rate. plus, it's not all about pounds - how many inches have you lost?? i think you are doing a great job!!

i disagree with the trainer. i do not do cardio to develop my muscles. that is what resistance/strength training is for... i do cardio to get my HR up and burn fat.

welcome Amelia!

Banannie - great job on hitting the 170s!! sweety - 2 lbs in a week is great!!! good job!

Gibson, thanks for the comments, :biggrin1: they really mean a lot. now, this "dreaded" low carb lifestyle (i refuse to diet any more)... it really is not that bad at all ... my menu so far: b - 2 eggs over easy, 2 sausage patties - i was really hungry this morning. i usually only have about 1/2 - 2/3 sausage patty. l - 1/2 cheeseburger (no bun of course) and a nice tablespoon of SPICY!! mayo ... d - ???? not sure, DH wants burgers, so i guess i will have another 1/2 to full burger. do i miss sweets, uhhh yup!, is losing 20 pounds in less than a month worth missing sweets? uhhhhh YUP!!! and as you saw on my blog, there was a big ol' honking piece of carrot cake .. i ate that piece plus 2 more over a few days ... not a great choice by any means, but thanks to lots of people here i picked yself up and dusted myself off and am low carbing it once again. i am never hungry ... if i want a snack, i have a piece of string cheese (or if i'm really hungry i will have that other 1/2 of burger that i didnt eat for lunch) ... i try not to obsess over food. right now i am obsessing over my water intake. i am trying for 100+ ounces a day to flush this fat out of my system. i found a great mix of crystal light - - fruit punch (just a little bit though, i have bad side effects from fruit punch) and pink lemonade. it is realllllly good!! ok, enough of my book. best of luck to you Gibson!

JDru, Thanks ... i dont feel it right now ... scale is going up up up ...

thanks Deanna! i dont write so good some times ... **tongue in cheek**

i know puddin' has had hers for awhile. i've had mine for 6 weeks and still love it.

one of the reasons i was hesitant to get the body bugg was the arm band. i was used to the chest strap with my heart rate monitor. to be honest, i did not like the bugg the first day or so. it annoyed me and i didnt want it on my arm. i am now very used to it and cant even tell i am wearing it. i wear it from the time i get up in the morning until the time i go to sleep.

i love my iPhone. i didnt think i would want one, but DH got one and i was hooked. i LOVE LOVE it. the fact that i can watch movies, listen to music (i know, i can do that on an ipod), but i can also read LBT while i am on the bike or email or text or check weather or take pictures... yes, i even take pics while i am at the gym. i take them of the screen telling me how long i've been on and how many miles. easier than writing it down.

band chick, you are SO right. moving is a wonderful thing!!

punky and jadrad, welcome to the challenge! please copy the latest numbers and include yours in. good luck!!
