Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Wynn, I started listening to in December and it helped me to get through Christmas holidays. Instead of gaining i managed to lose and I was doing great till the vertigo hit.  Three years ago I had got up to 159 (I'm 5'4 " ) and started working with a personal trainer. I got down to 134 by eating sensibly and working out with him but over the last year I had gained back up to 149. I started listening to , lost 7 pounds and have more or less managed to keep it off even though I am in the house almost constantly.  We too have really healthy food in the house. Organic fruits and veggies which I eat alot of and we rarely eat out or buy junk food. BUT I do tend to overdo with things like honey and homemade bread and if any sweets find their way into my house they are sure to be eaten by me!! I LOVE anything sweet and when cravings hit I am HELPLESS! That is what I am working on... cravings for sweets and my other weakness is that I wake up a few times every night and love eating in the middle of the night so I'm trying to work on that too. I think that is my biggest weakness since the cravings for sweets are pretty much under control lately.  Why don't we do something today for biceps and triceps? And maybe some ab work???? Come on Wynn. That is pretty simple.  I am really motivated to do it now even though it means getting up off my comfy sofa and working out! Let me know what you do.  Oh, and I've already been on the treadmill :-) What about you?  From: Wayne and Wynn Schneider <mrfreezeagt (DOT) net> Subject: Re: [insideoutweightlos s] challenge weightloss @groups. com Date: Tuesday, April 6, 2010, 11:14 PM Corinna, Corinna!

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Alright boys and girls! I am off to the gym. First, I will do some upper body strength and then I'll hit the treadmill.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Constance agrees!!!! focus on positives no matter how small they seem to us or others. Hugs Constance in Mich. Thanks E V almost done with reading post feel really really motivated today. ( Of course 12 days of normal sleep cycle could be the reason too) or maybe just feeling more connected to this group after three weeks of lurking.  Constance > >> >> >> Corinna, Corinna! >> So great to hear from you!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm in for the challenge! when should we start? Maybe we can include neutrals too but stick with the proportions of the diff. foods D'Adamo recommends in was it CookRight? We can post our 1st name, desired weight, actual weight posting every day? (this would motivate me if I had to be accountable daily) Any thoughts? if interested, you could also post the foods you ate. This might be interesting. Would the HB only people feel better/achieve their weight goals faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I am interested, but I just received my organic fruit and vegetable order. Wouldn't you know it has some avoids that I just love. (cucumbers, strawberries, cantaloupe) It will take me two weeks to eat the cucumbers - unless I am willing to give them away. Could we wait a week before we start? We wouldn't have to post our weight on-line. They say we shouldn't weigh ourselves everyday anyway (however I still do - it's one way I can check which foods affect me adversely). We could post how much we want to lose at the beginning, then how much we have left reach our goal. For me - 3 pounds in 3 weeks is about all I can expect, but this HB and B challenge just might surprise me.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I was thinking about October 1st as a start date. That gives us plenty of time to use stuff up and stock up on things we need. What do you think? We can start menu planning etc. I bought sweet potatoes today and we have our own home grown organic beef. Glad of that one believe me. Let's have a goal we'd like to lose over the 3 weeks. Some of us might want to continue on past 3 weeks. Which is fine too. I can't do aerobics, have very bad feet after multiple surgeries, but I can walk. So I will plan on working up to 2 miles a day before our start date. I have to use a cane, but it still works, right? I'm going to make my weight loss goal for the 3 weeks, 12 lbs. Any more thoughts?

I'm game to join in and I really like the Oct 1st ideal It gives time to plan and get mentally serious about it. I propose: We NEED to post our starting weight (goal) and progress, but we can use Einstein's relativity principle - it is all relative to what we want to lose: The " starting weight is the amount we want to lose " : So for example I'll claim/post " I weigh 50 pounds as a starting weight " as that is what I wish to lose. Fifty pounds. If I then lose a pound I'll report myself as " 49 lb. with a starting weight of 50. " That I am happy to share in public. But it may be fictional. Maybe I want to lose 2 pounds. I can still claim start weight 50 if I want. Or maybe I'll start with 5000 and take off ten for each actual pound as it is ten times harder for me to lose with Cushings syndrome. Whatever - but make some statement to go by that gives RELATIVE progress and has meaning to you. Just decide a fictional (or real) starting weight that has meaning to you - so that any relative changes can be reported. The point is that if we each see others making progress using actual numbers - it encourages us to do better. So actual numbers - relatively at least - do count. > That gives us plenty of > time to use stuff up and stock up on things we need. And to plan adjustments for weird requirements like illness issues and allergies, gluten sensitivity, availability issues etc.. It's a very sensible planning phase:-) > I can't do aerobics, have very bad > feet after multiple surgeries, but I can walk. So I will plan on working up > to 2 miles a day before our start date. I also need to plan some kind of wheelchair exercises. I used to have CDs on wheelchair yoga, tai chi, and Qi gong. My kids thought they were weird and tossed them. Very costly. but gone. I need to reinvest. So yes - I actually think your idea to plan ahead then start, gives us all a WAY better chance to do it with success. I'm all for it. Supposedly I can not lose weight with Cushings - but even if I reduce the gains, it will be a win. And who knows - maybe I can prove the Doctors and my past efforts wrong after all. It is certainly proven that a support group gives twice the success rate on any weight loss system. > I have to use a cane, but it still > works, right? Sure. Even if you are sitting down using it to do semaphore! (May work for me!) > I'm going to make my weight loss goal for the 3 weeks, 12 > lb.. Any more thoughts? No time limit. My start weight is 50, in however long that takes, wanting to SEE progress of one pound every two weeks and to keep track at least weekly here. We all have different challenges - I think we can have individual goals and report how we are doing on OUR particular goal? Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Welcome aboard, !! I'm reading the ABS diet for Women books and plan to incorporate that info with the ER4YT food list and see how that goes. I'm going to start making up little daily menus to help myself out. If I can get to it I will try to post them a day or two in advance so you can see what I am doing. If it helps you, so much the better!!
