Fitness Fridays #8: Have you hit a Brick Wall?

[cyber-sibes]

stuck in a holding pattern. not up, but not down either.

I'm gonna hop back on this badwagon - I had hopped off, gotten lazy, and stopped eating right and gained back 5 of the 10 pounds I had lost, and I'm ready to get rid of them again! The dogs and I are off for a walk.

Well, I've lost about 10 pounds since te beginning of summer...right now I'm just at a standstill and haven't lost or gained anything.

There's a Student Rec center right down the road from my dorm, and I'm very excited about that. I think once I get a little more settled I'll start using it. I want to try to get up in the mornings and go work out but I'm not a morning person, lol. I can see how new students gain weight though...the cafeteria has all the pies, cakes and ice cream one could ever want

I ate a blueberry muffin for breakfast and I just went and had lunch; Tomato Soup and a bowl of fruit. Not sure what I'm going to have for dinner yet.

Bumping this up . . . I think we got Fridays 7 started again somehow!



Robin: Only weigh yourself ONCE A WEEK! Don't obsess with the scales! That's not what's important! Eat healthy, exercise - that's what you need to focus on!!! Anyway . . . weigh yourself once a week to monitor your weight loss. And do it at the same time of day. When I was trying to lose, I would weigh every Sunday morning before breakfast. That way you will get an accurate weight. Otherwise . . . you will drive yourself crazy! Your weight will flucuate throughout the day & throughout the week! You need to be consistant! Hang in there hon! And just try to be healthy & not obsess about numbers right now!!! You're doing fantastic!!!

I want to be in on this too. Was there a starting thread I can read to see what everyone is doing. I used to be so good about walking but now none of my friends live near me and I need someone to be acountable to. This might help if I know others are doing it to. I used to eat alot better than I have been lately too. My husband is working out of town and with just me and the kids, it's too easy to slack off and just have kid food over and over again.

So do we check in every Friday?

No, Dragonfly, you can check in anytime you want, for support or just to fill us in on how you are doing
Good luck!

LOL . . . no, it's just called Fitness Fridays . . . but you check in EVERY DAY!!! Fitness Fridays is just the name we came up with - I know it's confusing. We like to be confusing, LOL.

And to make it even more confusing, we start a brand new thread every MONDAY!!!

Hang with us dragonfly - very motivating stuff!

Just search "fitness fridays" & do some reading!!! Glad you joined us!

[dragonfly]

All right, I think I've got it. I will read some other threads to try and catch up to what everyone's been doing. Thanks
