weigh in for redrose

Must say I was pleasantly suprised with the scales this morning. I have lost 3kgs in my first week of my weight loss journey. I have seriously never eaten more in my life. I read so much material on foods and metabolism and stuff. I discovered that my 2 or 3 meals a day wasn't enough food. So yeah, started eating three main meals a day, plus snacks, so I am eating every 2 and a half to three hours. Plus I am no longer starving by dinner time so I am having about half the size meal than I used to. Plus I have managed to get in over 30 mins of exercise 5 days this week. Hopefully next week will also produce a similar result!

Ok, so jumped on scales today, one day late, no probs, still weigh 105kgs. Not bad, at least I didn't gain. I didn't exercise much at all last week. I ended up with bad blisters on the soles of both feet from a 12km bushwalk. I decided to give myself the week to heal. I still made sure I ate often and small serves, also drank plenty of water. I am suprised I didn't put on weigh.
Last weekend was a big big one. Over two nights I drank 4 bottles of wine. I started early and finished late!! Didn't really realise how much I was drinking, the top ups kept coming, would be easy to just blame my friends, lol. I suppose that happens from time to time. Was the biggest weekend for this year! Ok, I drank too much but I did not let my good eating go downhill, I ate sensibly, so I guess that must count for something.
Back to it this week though, aiming for another 5 day exercise week, at least 30 mins each day so yeah, will see how I go.

At least you didn't gain and best of luck for the coming week .

Couldn't wait until until Sunday, I wanted to know if this week is heading in the right direction. Was glad to see the scales saying 104kgs, so 1kg loss since Monday. Am happy, I am sure Sunday is going to be better

Well done.Good luck for the next week.

Ok, so scales have been good to me this week. I didn't get in the exercise that I was hoping for but all good. Did plenty of housework so I guess that made up for it! 103 kgs hey!?! Well, just over one month until my birthday and looking good so far. Only have another 4 kgs to lose to reach my first goal.

Wow, you had a great loss this week. I was walking every morning, and I know everyone is different, but it didn't actually help with my weight loss, I actually slowed down... but if I get out in the garden for a whole day and weed, rake and clean etc it really helps (I think I move more muscles that way?). Housework helps too I reckon!! Good luck for this coming week

[redrose78]

I am the same. I find walking doesn't help with much weight loss. I do find just mixing up exercises does the trick. I have an exercise bike here at home, jump on that every now and then. Although can only do 10 mins, after that my butt hurts, lol. I also have a Walk away the pounds video, which I think is great, is like low impact aerobics. I also do some weights twice a week. Apart from that, housework, gardening, I do take the dogs for a walk twice a week, but I have been doing that for months. I find walking doesn't shift the weight at all. Even the bushwalking I used to do, some of that was really hilly terrain. Dirt trails, some places sandy trails. Hard walking and yeah, no weight loss from that either!!

[turtle7682]

Yeah... and then you see some people, they walk and the weight just melts off... oh well, I guess we are all built differently I would love to get an exercise bike!! I bought a treadmill.. but it doesn't really help, at least I am still getting exercise I suppose!!

congrats on the loss
