Well October Team, tomorrow is Weigh in day and we all should post our Start weight and current weight, for those participating.

I'm afraid to weigh in tomorrow...I have been so good, working out and watching what I've been eating, but for 48 hours I have not been able to "go".  I'm bloating and miserable, i've taken a laxative a little while ago hoping that would help. I've even dran mik and had something fatty.  And nothing.   Come to think of this, I think I had this problem in the begining...I'll need to go back and take a look.  Maybe i better add more fiber to my daily meals, cause this is horrible and the night before a weigh in!  urgh!

Yes, i read one of my beginning post and had the same problem as I listed above, so that just means I'm learning more about my body, so I'm going to just be proactive on this matter. Its nice to learn more of what makes your body tick, or not!    :)

Good night ladies..its 10:44pm here in TEXAS

SW: 200

CW: 194.8  Nov 4th weigh in

So, still going down and I feel very blessed to have come across this board and plan!

 Jvega,

Thanks so much for sharing your story.  I felt so horrible when I had a day like that and now I feel better after reading your story.  I am glad you are getting to the root of the food issue for yourself as well.  I think it is still important to enjoy food though.  It is funny, I actually think of this plan as a way of teaching me how to eat so that I can enjoy food without feeling guilty or paranoid that I am packing on pounds.  I used to always be in diet mode or packing on mode, never a happy medium.  So now I am learning how to eat and control portions on a regular basis so I don't have to fret all the time. 

As far as check in day is concerned, I am happy to anounce to everyone that I have finally broken the two week plateau and lost apound this week!!  Thank goodness!!!

Take care everyone.  Hope your weeks are all going well!

My starting weight (approx 2 weeks ago) was 157. Today, my first official check in, I was 152! I'm very excited. :) I'm going to get that chart started in excel, so please weigh in ladies! Today's the day we've been talking about!

ps. I had pizza Monday night, hold the pepperoni, took an Alli and had no treatment effects minus a little oil in my stool Tues morning! So glad to know I don't have to give that up! Just can't eat quite as much pizza as I used to....

 Hello all,

Today, the offical weigh-in....drum roll please....i lost one pound...i will take tht one pound because i ate all the wrong food Sat, Sun, Mon...and Tuesday...i gave myself a pep talk...why am i doing this too myself...woke up out of the spell i was in and back and better than ever...i managed to workout for 1 hour on the treadmill...burned 500 calories and walked for almost 4 miles...i feel so good...i am truely trying to work on my emotional eating...i keep telling myself.."it will get better." But it is very hard...i feel my family is somewhat supportive, but whenever i need them....they don't want to listen...ugh...

sorry i had to vent...

Results:

219 lb (when i started)

213 (last week)

212 (today)

Ready

GOOD LUCK TO ALL 

YAY ladies!  I'm so proud of all of us for keeping with our weigh in day and reporting back!

One of the things I did realize when I ate terribly bad over the weekend, was my attitude when I was doing it..it was like I was out of control, I didnt care what I felt, i ate that deep fried burrito anyway.  My conscious told me to "think" about what i was doing, but I had an attitude like.."screw this, I'm eating it".  Then the chinese eggroll, then the 3 creme filled chocolate snack cakes, then the next day a mushroom burger and I didnt care that I spread on the mayonaise AND ate the fries with Tartar sauce. 

I literally didnt give myself time to THINK about what I was doing...it felt like evil & good, and I allowed my emotions to take over.  I had a bad night with my teenager Friday night (he's 17 and was drinking) and then he was argumentive and out of control, that the next day I felt very dissapointed and upset.  And upset about things..bills etc.  I let my emotions take over and control what I put in my mouth. 

LESSON LEARNED & SOLUTION:

I think I'm going to learn to STOP and give myself 5 minutes before I'm allowed to put such items in my mouth. 

Last night we had Taco bell, and I dont feel bad for what I ate, so its how my mind set was when i ate it that made the difference.  I drank a glass of water first, then the food (slowly) then that was it. I wasnt gorging on it and doing it out of control.

We live and learn! and boy have I learned alot about myself and my body this week!

Must add fiber

Must think before I eat something I shouldnt, and have a tall glass of water first. 

Happy HUMP day everyone!

 Well said jvega0523, i couldn't have said it better!!!  You are such an inspiration :)

stay positive, we all have tough times...bad moments...my accomplishment for this week is WILLPOWER...i really need it.

Good luck to all :)

Hi everyone!!

I weighed in and I am at 10lbs loss total so far. I started at 150lbs and now at 140lbs. I am happy with that,

I have to add my constipation probs here too! The last 3 days I ahve felt constipated and bloated.  I bought metamucil and have been taking  that. We shall see if that works. I also had ice cream 2 nights this week :-0 but only ate half of it. We shall see what next week brings!

MOM OF 3 BOYS:

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 10POUND BADGE!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 10POUND BADGE!!

Congratulations on everyone's weight loss!!!!  So exciting!!

   Been a few days since I've posted anything, it's been crazy!  I weighed in for the first time since starting myalli and I lost 4 pounds this week!  Woo!  I started taking Alli on October 8, 2009 weighing in at 169lbs.  I'm down to 154lbs for a grand total of 15lbs and I am ecstatic!  Guess what else.....A few days ago I was rushing to find something warm to wear and I grabbed pretty much the first sweatshirt I could find and threw it on.  I'm walking out of my room when it dawned on me: this sweatshirt used to be too tight to wear.  I had gotten it through a gymnastics meet I had coached at a year ago.  I wore it proudly all day and I knew I'm on the right path.  In another month I wonder what other clothes I'll be able to fit into again.... it's a question I can't wait to answer for myself!   

Again it is so great to hear about everyone else's success and I'm thrilled that I can share my story with you all!

Keep up the great work!!!

Weight loss this week:  4 lbs

 Congratulations on everyones accomplisments....Yes, We ALL can do it!!!

i am so happy to read all the positive responces towards a better and healthier lifestyle. Keep up all the great work you are doing for your body!!!:)

i have been workout so much 1 hour on the treadmill....burning 515 calories...walked/jogged for 3.75 miles (almost 4 miles). i have been doing this every other day...and i would do biggest loser cardio max, level one...with bob...

i am so sore after my workouts...but its well worth it...

i ahve a few questions if you guys don't mind answering:

Has anyone else incoperated any exercise with this plan?

how much caloires did the plan put you on Or did you put yourself on that much calores/fat intake?

how much do you weight?

i find if i work out the next day i gained weight but if i don't workout i am the same...the weigh loss process for me has been slow...about one pound a week...has anyone else experienced the same results...

Thanks for sharing

Well, tomorrow is weigh in! 

And I must admit..I think I have gained, at least this morning I did.  BUT, I'm not going to fuss, its my own fault for taking the plan lightly and not following as closely as i was when I began.  Live and Learn!  But, I still have 1 day of HOPE that the scale does go down!
