I feel like I'm going to an AA meeting. Well, let's call it Adamoholics Anonymous. My name is Adamuse and I'm an Adamoholic. This has led to a 8lb weight gain since my stanning started in the summer of '09. I'm going to take the High Road here, and not blame Adam (although clearly it is his fault) :  and take responsibility for my hours in front of the computer when I should have been exercising. I hate having a muffin top and feeling fat jiggle when I walk. The fat assessment thingy you hold with both hands at the gym had my on the edge of obese. My goal is to lose 8 pounds by; 1. Going to the gym 3-4 times per week. 2. Walking the dog during daylight hours everyday so I can also cure my Vitamin D deficiency. 3. I'll need a lot of help with this one; Walking away from the computer after 1 hour and doing something active like 50 crunches or some housework at a super fast pace. 4. An absolute maximum of 3 hours stanning per day. I'd like to make it 2 but I'm being realistic. 5. Eat a healthy diet and cut out in between snacks which aren't fruit and vegetables. That pre dinner time is my down fall. I think my biggest problem is that I do not want to be cured of the cause of my weight gain.
I've already broken rule 3 and 5 this morning. :-/  I was laid off in August from a job that had me sitting at the computer 10+ hrs. a day. I thought that one of the positives of that would be getting more exercise, but oops, I forgot about my freakin' addiction to the Adamnet. ;D So, you're going for 3 hours a day. Mmmmm. I don't know. I may have to ease off a little slower. : But Imma try.  |

Okay, this is my official check in for Monday morning. I weighed first thing in the AM, that will be routine: Goal: 25 lbs This week 0 Cumulative +1.5 (LOL - I think it's just from salty stuff yesterday so I'm thinking it's temporary)
Spiffy Smile, Phishfood, Jojo, ] I think we're all going for the realistic maximum (25lbs, 11 Kilos) for the time period. Would you guys want to be the 25 Club?[/b] We may want to check in more often because it will really take consistency to achieve this - BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. Irish - You may fit in here, too. I don't know your timing expectations. Anyone else as well. Not an exclusive club other than needing more encouragement - so all cheerleading welcome! Here's an easy Kilo converter but you Finn's that sauna naked with your family may not ever let yourself go that far. One more benefit of sauna maybe?? 8-) www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/converter.asp |

Checking in - first week
Goal: 10lbs . This week is 0 & total is 0.
Going to weigh myself every morning, started today, I think it helps keep me focused on the goal.
My mantra is portion control!
Plus gotta cut down on the late night snacking....no more grabbing handfuls of nuts or raisins because I can't stop at just one handful. Will substitute carrots, radishes and cucumbers. Kim chee is good too because it's very spicy and flavorful but not many calories.
Must come up with an exercise plan but haven't yet.
Good luck everyone and thank you Jablea for organizing this!

Goal = 15 pounds Clothes too tight - darn those holidays! Butter, sugar, too much food ... gahhh. Will cut calories and get in better shape. Did 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 10 lunges - all low impact for me. Need to walk later today. This is going to be fun!  |

I did my "Walk Away the Pounds" mile and immediately following lay down on my bed and took a nap. I am so out of shape that I just made it through one mile. I would like to end up doing at least two miles by March 20. I have light weight tapes which I will do also. At my age, muscle starts decreasing in your body and you really have to work to keep some of it.
My husband and I finished our dinner tonight, looked at each other, and both said "I could eat what I just ate all over again." It is those pesky 1/2 cups and ounces that kill us. I usually only eat 4 to 5 ounces of meat for dinner, but my husband is used to double that. I hope he sticks with it because it is so helpful to have someone in the house that is suffering too.
The first day is almost over. I have found from other diets that if I can get through 3 days without cheating, I can then get through 3 weeks. If I can get through those 3 weeks without cheating, I can usually make it through 3 months. I really have to talk to myself and never, never cheat. If I cheat, it is all over. I somehow lose momentum, and just give up.
I will be coming here for hints on how to stay on my diet. I do chew sugarless gum when I get crazy hungry. That does seem to help. Also, a cup of hot tea will help me too.

checking in...
goal: continue with 1/2 hr exercise each day, and drop 10 lbs.
check out this 10-minute abs workout I do almost every day. it's fun (well, as fun as exercise can be) and the time goes quickly.

My name is JustKaren, and I'm a foodaholic. I eat when I am bored, indecisive, or depressed ... and lately there has been too much of all of that in my life. Last year I lost a lot of weight, but wasn't very successful at keeping it off.
I'm going to stick with a one-pound-a-week goal, so that would be 11 pounds by March 20. And I'm going to start using Lose-It again ... I kept losing weight as long as I recorded it in Lose-it, but as soon as I stopped recording I started gaining again. :(
And I'm also going to get back to 45-minutes a day on the Gazelle at least 5 times a week (that's a one-hour TV show without commercials on Netflix ;D ). The Gazelle is similar to a Nordic Track, and gives a good low-impact cardio workout.
So today was my first weigh in. Goal = 11 pounds, 0 lost, 0 total.

Ok. I will officially start tomorrow--family still here till then and I just cannot do this with them here. I am pleased to see some of you also have loose goals (pants fitting rather than pounds off etc) as I simply don't want to go near that scale ever again (I swear last time I tried dieting the dang scale was broken--completely stuck on the same number I tell you--no matter what I did!)
How cool is it that there are people all around the world all working together on this?!!! I am already inspired by all the great ideas here. I will watch the ab video, am looking forward to the apple/sprite treat, and I also like the idea of exercising to an increasing number of songs, especially since it ties Adam into it. The first few days may be experimental for me. Good luck everyone!!
