School is starting in what seems like no time.

Re: School is starting in what seems like no time.

It's Friday, and I've managed to lose four pounds since Monday! I haven't really been following a strict induction either... and as far as excersise goes I haven't really had the time. I'm just happy I managed to make it through the week low carb. Next week it will be my goal to be a little more strict as far as my diet and exercise plan goes! I figure at this rate I might just be able to pull off my goal for the summer! How've you all been doing? Any losses to note? Hope to hear from someone pretty soon, I feel like I've been talking to myself this whole time!

Four pounds in a week sounds pretty d*mn good to me. Congrats. Hope you are able to do it a little more by the book, next week, though.

You can pick up 5-10 minutes exercise throughout the day, just by taking stairs or parking further out. Do squats while you brush your teeth. Situps before bed. Walk around the house doing lunges. Take some kids out to the playground and play with them.

Keep up the great work!

Yeah, I get tons of support from my family, because basically everyone sees the difference. Compliments are great motivation

I would love to join the club! I really need some motivation and I'm only getting a little from my family! They want me to lose weight SO bad, but its extremely hard when you have sweets during the week and pizza on the weekends! I am determined to lose, I also have 5 1/2 weeks until I am an official senior! Its time to buckle down

Re: School is starting in what seems like no time.

Sorry to hear about the partial support from the family, but we're here for sure! I'm going to be a senior too! Thats my motivation!

Re: School is starting in what seems like no time.

All you have to do is believe in yourself, and set goals that you believe you can accomplish, even without full support from your family, you can still do great if you're motivated within

Chrissy, just ask and we'll help you educate your family into completely supporting you!

Daisy, since you mentioned lifting weights I wanted to mention The Power of 10 in case you haven't heard of this before. Slow Burn is another book with the same method. http://election.cbsnews.com/stories/...in584762.shtml

Reina, keep up the great work!

I know it's hard, but look at it for the long haul of learning to eat well and feeling great. Don't worry so much about the beginning of the school year, but keep in mind the end of the school year and what changing your eating habits now can do for you long term. Watch out for the yo-yo effect that high carb junk foods can cause! With bad choices at every turn you do need to learn to prepare for that and always give yourself another option.

It's not just changing the foods you eat, but a full lifestyle change needing you to remember to put YOU first. Go ahead, be selfish.

Wishing you all the best!
