Okay, I'll be the first to weigh-in. I am down 2.8 pounds since last Wednesday -- Yay! I have been exercising more and I stopped eating chocolate at work. Today I am starting counting points and getting back on the WW wagon.
I am down about 2.5 and that was with a Sunday "break day" where I ate birthday cake, ice cream and other assorted treats! We also had homemade french fries on Monday night (I don't know if I can ever give those up). I did exercise 5 times last week.
This week I am going to try hard not to eat any treats and cook more healthy dinners. I try hard to get my 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, but also end up eating pasta, potatoes, things like that. I am also aiming for another 5 days of exercise this week.
As for breakfast, I eat a bowl of cereal every morning (usually frosted flakes, life, frosted mini-wheats, honey bunches of oats) or oatmeal and a piece of fruit. I also drink herb mint tea in the morning with 0 calorie sweetener.
I am thinking of trying weight watchers, but haven't signed up yet. Nate and I both are thinking it would be good for us.
Oh yeah, I also still like to eat Malt-o-meal, but, frankly, the only time I actually make a breakfast is on the weekends and then it is waffles/pancakes/french toast for the kids.
Good going girls! I did pretty well this week, as I'm always gangbusters out of the starting block. I was sick yesterday, but before I was sick, I weighed 163, down four pounds. But then I weighed myself today after being sick, and I'm down to 161, but I think that might go up once I start eating regularly again. I exercised four days, with a long run (70 minutes total including warm up and cool down) on Saturday.
