<p>Sparkpeople is so slow.  Obviously I'm not the only one logging food as part of my New Years Resolution.</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>I KNOW!  holy cow.</p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>Phew it's better now.  I'm 3/3 for logging my food so far!</p>

<p>I an 6 for 6 days.  How are you doing Altoids?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have also done some form of Kinect Exercise every day since Christmas.  Weigh in is tomorrow!</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>So far, so good!  I've been on a roll with eating and exercise, and I'm feeling pretty motivated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My weigh-in is Monday, so I'll know for sure then.  </p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>Well, how was today's weigh in?</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>gah!  up 1.5 lbs.  I should have lost, according to calories in/calories out, so I suspect sodium intake or some other shenanigans.  Trying not to get too upset about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I keep doing the right thing, I'll see the result.  Eventually.  Which doesn't make it any easier.  </p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>No worries, you'll "pull a big number" next week!  ;-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am now 9/9 for logging my food. </p>

 

[altoids]

<p>w00t!</p>

<p>Ok, so I've joined a 26 week online national challenge put on by one of the Canadian Fitness shows called "X-Weighted".  I'm hoping that it will motivate me to stay on track for the 26 weeks as they have random drawings every week, for some pretty nice prizes.  As long as you weigh in every week you are eligible.    Grand prize is a trip to Halifax for a makeover by their fashion/hair/self-esteem expert. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still logging my food on Sparkpeople (16 for 16 days now) and have played Kinect every day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How's the Zumba going Altoids?</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>Zumba for Wii at home is going great, and my next series of Zumba classes starts tomorrow!  </p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>Isn't today your weigh in day?  Good luck!</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>thanks!  Hopefully this one will be better...</p>

<p>So is this our weight loss thread then? Let's rename it or start a new one.  It's good motivation for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm down 6 pounds this week.  But, that number is suspect, I believe.  One, because I ate something before I weighed in this morning, and two, I think last Monday's number was a little more than it should have been due to lots of water weight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, though, it goes in the books as a 6 lb loss.</p>

<p>6 pounds in a week, you could be on Biggest loser?  Are you attributing that to exercise, diet or both?</p>

<br><br><p>Both, plus, like I said, I think last week's number was mostly water, so it was a little suspect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like the renaming of the thread!</p>

 

[altoids]

<p>Lost another pound!  w00t!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My goal was to lose a pound a week, so that makes me happy!</p>

 

[willrun4chocolate]

<p>Congrats Altoids! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I actually discovered that I have stomach muscles during my workout tonight.  I also think there is just a little less back fat flapping out of my workout top. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm feeling pretty good about this years journey.  Maybe this will be the year that is different than the last 10.</p>

Wow that is so great to hear! how did you deal with that? What were your key actors that helped you in achieving it? what did you do?
