Beating Hungry Times

posted by Ilikai231 on 8:51 am

I was wondering what you people are doing to curb your hunger after dinner. The weakest time of day for me is after dinner time from 6-11 PM. Are you eating a light snack? What snack is it? Are you exercising, watching tv, doing something to keep your mind off eating in the evenings? I'm looking for ideas and it would help me out a lot. Thanks.

trininc week 10

posted by trininc on 9:07 pm

Starting date 12/05/11
Group #67
Loss this week 0
Total loss on Jackson's challenge 8 lbs
I have 92 lbs left to meet Jacksons challenge
I missed posting on Monday by a few minutes, mainly because I debated on whether I should even post this week. I have been ill; however that shouldn't have been an excuse to eat all the cookies and chocolates given to me by a ?friend who knows I am trying to lose weight, and who also knows those two foods are my weakness. She did not force me to eat them though, I did that all by myself. Two days of gorging! I can only try to do better next week.

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 9:22 pm

 Glad you didn't gain!  You hopefully learned something you can use next time, like: if you can't immediately give the treats away, toss them before they temp you further!!

by EJMM on Feb 13, 2012 at 10:40 pm

Well you did not gain so that's great....yup bezoarman is right... that's what you need to do next time, Out of sight, out of mind!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 14, 2012 at 4:44 am

Good for you posting, that shows success in itself, without even having to use the scale. Another measurement of success, sticking with it.  Would you have done that one year ago?  I hope you feel better. Trying better is the best thing to do. Maintaining is much better than gaining. 8 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.

Sorry i've been absent the past week. It's been super crazy at work and the scale broke I haven't had a chance to weigh in, the past 2 weeks. Not really sure how i've been doing. I haven't really gotten to exercise as much as i'd like, but at least i'm getting 3-4 times in a week. As for eating, i've been so busy I haven't been eating as much as I should, I've been trying to eat healthy as I can though!
I signed up for Crohn's and Colitis Team Challenge. I'm going to hopefully run a 1/2 marathon! I have to raise at least $2,500 though. Wish me luck!!! I should be able to weigh in next monday, and hopefully this week will be a little less crazy! Have a great week everyone! 

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 9:33 pm

 A half marathon is a great goal.  I haven't worked up the courage to do a 5K yet.  I'm impressed!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 14, 2012 at 4:47 am

1/2 Marathon?  That is fantastic.  I can do 3K right now, which is good for me and in April I'm supposed to do a 5K.  30 pounds lost FOREVER, never to be found again. Great work, keep at it.

Actually with the things going on in the last week I'm kind of okay with only gaining a pound.  Unfortunately as I said before I won't be able to check in for the next two weeks, but hopefully I'll be able to keep a handle on my eating and even if I don't lose I'd like to maintain.

The past 2 Week's Weight GAIN: 5
Total Weight Loss on Challenge: 21
Pounds left in challenge: 79


Challenging seeing the scale today.  Took it to heart that cardio for more than 30 minutes at a time burns muscle and backed way off (from cardio of 45-60 minutes 4-6x/week to 35 minutes cardio 3x/wk) the passed two weeks, although I know that is what it takes for me, also loosened up on tracking and here I am.  Back to tracking and the gym with gusto today, put in 60 minutes cardio & 30 circuit/strengthening, feel energized and ready to face the scale next week. 

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:51 pm

Good job on the exercise. Feeling energized is a great way to feel. Face that scale next week, you CAN do it. 21 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.

by EJMM on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:55 pm

That 5 Lbs will be gone in no time....Track,Track,Tracking healthy eating that's the main key!!

Monday weigh in question

posted by ericarand on 11:20 am

Just wondering if the Monday weigh in stats are to represent the time since joining this group or the time since starting livestrong?  Not sure if I supposed to start from scratch or not?

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 12:09 pm

Quite a few will put their losses since joining the group and then maybe put their overall loss underneath.  Good luck!!!

Can't understand what happened.  I have been tracking, drinking water like crazy, and working out between 1 1/2 hours and 2 hours a day.  I am hoping I am just in my post weekend slump. Really trying hard today.  I already did water aerobics for an hour this morning and am planning on doing 40 minutes or cycling and 30 minutes or walking/running later today.  GOTTA GET BACK DOWN TO BELOW 200

Great job on your 2.2 Lbs lost for good!!

by Godlover123 on Feb 13, 2012 at 12:01 pm

I gained 2 pounds this past week (actually this weekend).  Thank you anyway. The posting was my mistake the way I posted it.  I know I can lose it, actually, I am determined to. My weight always seems to fluctuate on the weekends and sometimes it goes back and forth between 3-4 pounds for a few weeks.  That is when I really get frustrated.  I don't really have a set goal time limit, I just want to lose the weight and keep it off, and be healthy.  I want to try and prevent the diabetes that 80% or so of my family has and a heartattack like what my grandpa died of at the age of 62. I am only 20 years old and have the rest of my life to what I want with. I have a lot of dreams and I want to be healthy for God.

by peekajinx on Feb 13, 2012 at 12:46 pm

 I'm slightly worried that my weight is going to stall out and I'm trying to prepare myself to not get discouraged. Today will be day 4 of the P90 challenge, and I'm sure I'm going to start building muscle with the weight lifting, so I went and invested in a measuring tape so I can start tracking inches too. I'm also discovering that depending on where my scale is in the bathroom, it tells me different things... so I think I need to set it in 1 spot and tell my husband to stop moving it :|

by EJMM on Feb 13, 2012 at 1:46 pm

What happened to.... So let it be written, so let it be done. ...
That's ok, Next week you'll come back at least 2.3 pounds lighter

Well apparently I needed to get sick to get the scale to budge :\ So now I've been back for almost a month and I've lost a pound even though I've been doing great. If the scale shows a gain next week I'm pitching the $#@&ing thing. Probably at some one...like my boss....3.6 is a great loss but I feel like I've earned more. Gonna keep pushing water this week.

Brownie and Ice Cream Binge :(

posted by ipedregon on 9:01 am

I don't know why .. Friday I was craving brownies,  we went and bought the mix,  and some ice cream .. and then I just went on to blow up the whole weekend :(
I'm not gonna beat myself up too much stuff happens just get back on track this week I know it's water weight and poofyness from the eating
I'm having trouble re-focusing but I'll get there I know I can do it ,  I'm here to post and face it,  the longer I delay facing it and dealing with not eating properly the longer it takes me to fix it.  Honesty with myself is what's needed,  no BACK TO TRACKING .. starting out today very good.  I've already passed up on "Bagel Monday" here in the office they bring in a HUGE pastry, bagel spread .. so tempting but gotta love myself more than food ! 
GROUP 42 Start 1/15/10 Starting weight was 322 Lbs 
Current weight is 255 Lbs

Total Weight Loss so far Thank You LiveStrong !!! 67 Lbs

by Discombobul8d on Feb 13, 2012 at 10:33 am

You certainly don't need to beat yourself up.  Look at it this way; it was a reward.  You can allow yourself that, so long as it's in moderation.  As you said, just get back on track and keep pushing forward.

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 11:11 am

Unfortunately we all have bad days BUT it's normal, we are human. Don't be too rough on yourself, you're here with us and that is what is important. 67 pounds lost FOREVER is awesome. Great work, keep at it.

One lousy pound! I just consumed too many calories this week. Period. I've been working so hard doing remodelling projects around the house, I think I overestimated how many extra calories I could have. Mostly healthy calories, but calories none the less. Hard work makes you hungry! Plus, I think I've gained some muscle mass, so maybe that's why my scale isn't showing more of a loss this week. Looking back over my week, I was a little indulgent, and there were several food items that I definitely didn't need (the scoop of ice cream at my mom's house last night, the hot dog at the kids' bball game Saturday, the dumplings in the chicken soup, etc.). Going to give myself a stern talking to and hit it hard this week! Congratulations everybody on your hard work! Good luck this week!

by shoelace1 on Feb 13, 2012 at 7:11 am

As long a you keep working you will reach your goal.  1 Pound is still pretty good.  If you lose 1 pound a week this year, that is 52 pounds gone at the end of the year.

I'm losing inches around my waist, so that's really all I'm keeping track of. I work out every day, I put in 300+ minutes of exercise a week AND I drink more than 8 glasses of water per day. I also religiously track my calories. Don't know what else to do other than to tweak a couple of my days. I know I went a tad overboard yesterday, but it's still under 2000 calories. Whatever.

Nice loss of .8 pounds and 41.4 Lbs so far!

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 8:46 am

smaller body trumps smaller numbers on the scale any day!  You're still headed in the right direction.  Getting near the half-way point too!

by confidential101 on Feb 13, 2012 at 11:45 am

 YAY for inches lost! your doing great!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 12:07 pm

Stay motivated and keep at it. You CAN do this and you are. Lost inches is one of the best ways to measure our success other than our friend.......the *$&#^#% scale.  Keep at it, you CAN DO THIS!!!

 A loss is a loss! Grats to you! 41 pounds gone forever! Have a good week and good luck to you.

I will update my number's after I weigh in...It's really nice to see how everybody is progressing and the committment.

by onmywayto30 on Feb 13, 2012 at 6:11 am

So I think my group number is 70

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 6:20 am

Hi onmywayto30:

Welcome to The Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge. You can go in Group #70.

You've definitely come back to the right place. Everybody is very supportive and dedicated here. Losing 100 pounds is a dream which can come true!!

We're all in the same boat trying to accomplish the same thing. This is an awesome group and very supportive and dedicated.

We're here to help you in any way we can. Best of luck to you on your improved lifestyle and weight loss journey.

We weigh in on Mondays and I will post everyone's weight loss results and group records on Tuesdays.

Drink lots of water, exercise, post & read with us and track everything you eat.

Here are some guidelines for posting your losses and general information:

**********Welcome to the Challenge***********

We will support you, all the way, not just the first 100 pounds (if you have more to lose).This is just a loose chart of how you can lose 100 pounds in one year. You get four weeks to complete each goal. These are loose goals to work for and there aren't any penalties if you miss a goal. Please also set some mini goals for yourself if you wish.

Goal 1: -10
Goal 2: -10
Goal 3: -10
Goal 4: -9
Goal 5: -9
Goal 6: -9
Goal 7: -8
Goal 8: -8
Goal 9: -8
Goal 10: -7
Goal 11: -7
Goal 12: -5

Please use this format weekly when posting your updates:

My starting date is __________
My group number is _________
My loss for the week is ____________
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is __________
I have _____ pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

The key to losing weight is wanting to do it badly enough and finding the motivation to carry it through.

To start with, you need to ask yourself who you are losing weight for. If the answer is me you'll find it easier.

Get Support. Surrounding yourself with a good support network may also help to spur you on and TDP can certainly help you with that. By going into the Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge Group, you'll meet plenty of like-minded people who all want to lose weight. The advantage of this is that you'll always be able to find someone who has been through a difficult time with weight loss and has come out on the other side. This alone can be all that it takes to keep you motivated and on track.

In the meantime, you may also find it helpful to enlist the help and support of friends and family. Do you have a friend you could exercise with? Could your partner also do with eating a more healthy diet? Or could you encourage your work colleagues to do a fruit run rather than a chocolate run every afternoon?

You'll also find that once the weight starts to come off, the compliments will start to flood in and this will also help to keep you motivated. Ultimately, providing you really want to lose weight and have plenty of support to help you along the way, you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

If you need help with anything please let us know. Each Monday we post our losses for the week. (You are in Group 70).

Thank you, for prompt reply:) I am about to weigh in and ready to start this journey towards 100 pounds. It's little harder when you are fulltime Grad student:P too much distraction. I really need this and trying to be in shape for my 30th bday which is coming up in 6 months. Wish me luck!!!

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 8:47 am

Welcome!  Hope to see you next week with your first report.

by krobertson89 on Feb 13, 2012 at 10:00 am

I'm a full time grad student, too (Social Work) so I know what you mean- but you can do it. It becomes habit and a part of your life. Before long you'll be wondering why you didn't start this journey years ago :) Good luck!

thank you guys, going for hot yoga tonite so kinda excited about that. End up eating some cheetos and chocolate this morning but ready to burn some extra calories this evening. My weekness is sweet..

by fattyjim on Feb 13, 2012 at 2:54 pm

 Welcome to the challenge and good luck to you!

by artgal1 on Feb 14, 2012 at 3:21 am

 I was a full-time student for last semester but withdrew at Christmas because I needed to focus on ME and getting healthy again.  It's so hard to be studying and still spend time planning meals and tracking, BUT it's so worth it to keep in touch with this group.  Hang in there.  We're all in similar boats and are there to cheer for the victories and help mourn the losses.  Looking forward to seeing your posts!

by w8in on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:44 am

 When you said "barely managed a loss" I expected to see 0.5 lbs lost. But 3.5 is no joke, man. This is a great weekly weight loss. Keep it up!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 6:21 am

That's an EXCELLENT loss of 3.5 pounds this week and 30 pounds lost FOREVER. Hope you're feeling better. Great work, keep at it.

 Sorry for that...I didn't catch the typo until I read your replies.  It was only a 1.5 lb loss for the week.  

by EJMM on Feb 13, 2012 at 8:32 am

Well I guess I'll have to take back my great job on a 3.5 Lbs loss...LOL

 Great job B-man! You're doing great buddy. I remember something about epcot center and some segways? Are you still on track to do that, or am I completely making an ass out of myself and thinking of someone else?
 
Anyways, have a good week, and good luck to you!

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 9:30 pm

 You are right on - two weeks from now the family will be at WDW and I'll be tooling around EPCOT before it opens on a Segway tour that I've wanted to do for years and am finally below the 250 weight limit- now even with my clothes ON!, and a good thing too- cause I wanted to do this pretty bad, but it really would have embarrassed the family if stripping was the only way I could make the weight!!

MONDAY MORNING WEIGH IN

posted by prettygirl08 on 5:00 am

My starting date is June 19, 2008
My group number is 12
My loss for the week is -8
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is back to 70 where I was before Christmas
I have 30 pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

 
Off of my few months slump, finally!!!!  Last Monday the trainers at my gym and I changed things up. We're trying an elimination diet and tougher workouts, adding raw apple cider vinegar and cod liver oil to my diet, ewwwwww. Nothing was happening for months  even though I was eating properly most of the time and working out with them 3-8 hours a week. Obviously I am stronger, my measurements were changing, clothes were fitting differently and things were moving around but the scale wasn't moving. Lovely scale!!!! Now, it's working. I'm so happy and so motivated.
 
LET'S DO THIS!!!!  WE CAN DO IT!!!

 

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:03 am

 Great progress!!

Monday weigh-in

posted by jme37 on 4:33 am

My starting date is January 18, 2012
My group number is 69
My loss for the week is +3
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is -2
I have 98 pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

I am up 3lbs this week. While I'm not terribly happy to see that, I'm not feeling discouraged. Hoping it's just too much sodium causing water retention. I am noticing a significant difference in the way my clothing fits. This is just really good motivation to start keeping track of my measurements, not just what the scale reads.
All the best to everyone weighing in today!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 4:39 am

Don't feel too discouraged, you can get past this.  Sodium can definitely create a gain.  Like you said, your clothes are fitting differently and that's a great way to measure our success other than our friend, the scale.  Definitely take your measurements, that will show results as well. Great work, keep at it.

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:06 am

 Hang in there!  According to NASA, the average person takes in 9.2 pounds of water a day and 2.5 pounds of food.  It is obvious that a small shift in water can create a big weight change!   

by EJMM on Feb 13, 2012 at 8:19 am

Stay Positive...and the scale will show you negative!

by confidential101 on Feb 13, 2012 at 11:58 am

 tou can do this!!! have a great week!

by fattyjim on Feb 13, 2012 at 2:50 pm

 Good for you for not beating yourself up. If you're clothes are fitting better then you know you're doing the right things. Keep at it and you'll do this! Have a great week and good luck to you!

Pretty happy with the 5 lbs loss this week. I'm now below the weight I once reached 6 years or so ago, during my previous attempt to lose weight (only to gain almost a 100 afterwards). This time I'm in no mood to give up though.

I would like to pick up where I left off (again!)

posted by rickdangerous82 on 10:25 pm

 Hi there folks,
Its been a while since I last posted, its been a funny few months (i think) from my last post or up date. To all the new members welcome to the group and good luck on your campaign, to all my friends and older members, hope you are all well.
As you may or may not know, I started a new job back in November, which is great. But I have also been to other interviews since starting this job as it is only a temp position.
My weight has been yo-yo-ing (not sure if that is spelt right). I have been struggling to get away from the 270's for the last couple of months, and after some soul searching I found that my problem was one or two weeks I'd make some progress, then I would torpedo it by over indulging. So only on outcome really! So the last few weeks I have been very strict with myself and have lost 10lbs. Yayyy!
My group number is 52
My loss so far is 50lbs.
My current weight is 265lbs.
I have been asked to be my friends best man, I have been measured up for a new kilt outfit, I have had to get it tailored, so I have got them to cut it a bit smaller, so I have no choice, I need to lose another 10lbs in 4 weeks. A tough one but achievable!!
So if you will have me, can I pick up from where I left off?
All the best to everybody
 
Rich

by prettygirl08 on Feb 13, 2012 at 4:49 am

Yes, of course you can pick up from where you left off. Glad you're back, best place to be is here.  That is definitely HUGE motivation to lose weight. What happens if you surpass the 10 pounds and the measurements need to be adjusted?  That would be awesome.  50 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.

by bezoarman on Feb 13, 2012 at 5:09 am

Sodium - again

posted by leevanscoy on 7:46 am

 So I was concerned about my sodium intake & I just read that potassium helps your body flush sodium. I also read that lima beans, orange juice and baked potatoes have more potassium than bananas. Unfortunately, orange juice and baked potatoes have too high a glycemic index and I don't like lima beans! There's probably plenty of potassium in my multivitamin. So I decided to start adding a banana to my diet daily and start buying low sodium soup base. That should help.

by EJMM on Feb 12, 2012 at 8:02 am

Sounds like a plan...but getting Potassium naturally is the best way...I love Avocados, also I found a site that would help... http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php

Thanks! Two of my favorite foods are good sources of potassium - avocados and salmon. I eat salmon at least twice a week and 1/2 avocado almost every day. 1/2 an avocado has as much potassium as a banana - I didn't ralize that. I wish avocados didn't have so many @%$# calories!

Grand\'s cinnamon rolls with icing...

I had two of them for breakfast...
That second one was just sitting there on the stove top, calling my name...
"Chriiissstiiiinnnaaaaa, eatttt meeeeeeeeee!"
They were delicious, if you were wondering.
 
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note [/sarcasm], I'll be perfectly happy if I just come out even on Monday.

 Going over 400 calories is still pretty mild for a restaurant visit day. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

P90 series

posted by peekajinx on 11:20 am

 So I can't go to a gym because I have no money and usually no transportation and a 2 year old. I know some gyms have daycare, but they are usually more costly than the cheaper gyms, and it all goes back to money anyway. I do go on walks frequently, but that just isn't enough. I know I need to tone and start building muscle mass, which will end up helping me burn the fat in the long run anyway. The P90 series seems ot be the most popular for in-home work outs. Has anyone here tried it or had any success with it? From what I can tell, it starts with P90, then you can move to the P90 Masters, then P90X, and if you are incredibly fit, P90 Insanity. I have the first 3 now and was looking over them and thinking about maybe starting with P90 today. Any opinions or suggestions for other programs you might have had success with?

by Jdecat on Feb 11, 2012 at 4:40 pm

I can tell you that the P90 series is AWESOME!!! I have been struggling with my weight for over 10 years now and have many of the same issues you do. I've tried everything, but nothing seems to work for me for very long. Last year my cousin came to visit us and nearly had a ripped body, when just 1 year before that he was probably over 200 lbs (and I think he's only 5' tall, maybe 5'1") so you can imagine how big he looked. When I heard he did the P90X to get that body, I started researching it myself. Because of how out of shape, and completely inactive I am, I started with Power 90 (P90). Their first disk (bootcamp) is where you start & you do what you can. You alternate between a sculpting workout and a cardio workout and you move onto the next disk once you're able to keep up with the people on the 1st disk. It's basically a learning video to teach your body how to do everything, then you move on to the more intense stuff. I am already seeing results in my body and I've only been doing this for just over a week. I'm not even doing everything they do, or at least not to the extreme that they do it, and I ache everywhere. I have muscles aching that I didn't even know I had. So I recommend you start with P90 and move up from there. When I was buying mine I considered starting with P90X, cause I just didn't wanna start with the sissy one. But if you're out of shape, P90 is more than sufficient!!! Good luck to you!!! :)

by peekajinx on Feb 11, 2012 at 8:16 pm

 Today was day 2.. I decided to go ahead and go with it, and I hear you about aching muscles! I had to really really push myself to do the 2nd workout today because I was so sore just from day 1! I can't nearly do everything they can, but I find I really like his attitude about it on the video. I did start with P90 and I'll work my way up from there. Hopefully I don't just keel over during the sculpt workout tomorrow! However, I do look forward to the day I'm able to do everything on this first disc with ease!

by Jdecat on Feb 12, 2012 at 7:24 am

 Well I commend you for rising to the challenge! I know how hard it is to push yourself sometimes, but like you said, the guy has an amazing attitude! If you just can't handle the workout one day, you can always tone it down a level so you are still at least working out. But I'm with you, I am excited about the thought that someday I will be able to do the exact workout they do, and not only keep up, but know that I'm ready for the next level :)

Woohoo!

posted by chouse90 on 9:08 am

So, I think I may have figured out why I've been so slow to lose weight...  Lol.  About two weeks ago I did the BF% calculator they have at my gym and it came out to 39.2%, or 100lbs of fat on my body.  Then, today I did it again and it was 32.8% and 83.2lbs of fat!  Even with there being a little variation because of time of day or whatever, that's still pretty neat. 

by peekajinx on Feb 10, 2012 at 11:14 am

 Awesome! Yeah, that muscle weight can really bring you down if you aren't tracking it and only relying on what the scale says. I need to be tracking my BF% too.. especially since I'm about to start weight training :/

Of course we're all going to stay on track, eat properly, drink lots of water, exercise and HAVE FUN!!!!

by chouse90 on Feb 10, 2012 at 9:11 am

Well, I don't have much planned, but I am going to be packing Sunday.  I'm leaving early Monday morning and will be out of town for about 2 weeks on a Christian outreach trip.  So, I won't be on here, tracking or going to the gym for two weeks.  I will be keeping an eye on what I am eating though, and I'll be so busy that I won't have time to sit around and be lazy, so hopefully even if I don't lose weight I'll be able to maintain.

Movies

posted by peekajinx on 12:07 am

 So I went to the movie theater tonight and saw two movies. Inbetween showings I thought I would grab a small popcorn and drink, but discovered the theater I was at had a completely digital menu, and on each menu item it showed the calories for it! While I thought this was really cool, it definitely discouraged me from wanting to get anything after looking at those numbers!

by bravetraveller on Feb 9, 2012 at 4:47 am

 I'm not really a "cue" person- like places, (outside of my house!) don't make me feel compelled to eat anything- BUT, the movies?!? That is the one place that is hard to not get a (unhealthy) snack.  I've tried bringing grapes, but it doesn't seem to be the same.  Cudos to you for having the will power to say No!  The funny thing is that probably after you got home, it wasn't like even a thought about not having the treat- it was more thinking about the movies you had just seen.  What movies did you see?  I'm prob. going to see that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on Friday.

by prettygirl08 on Feb 9, 2012 at 4:56 am

I don't go to the movies a lot but when I do, I make sure I'm stuffed so I won't be tempted for all of those yummy delicious EMPTY calories. I have taken little baggies with snacks in them, like grapes, cucumbers, plain cereal, etc. and of course WATER. It definitely isn't the same but keeps my hands busy with healthy snacks instead of dreamy delicious popcorn, lol.  Good luck!!
 

by peekajinx on Feb 9, 2012 at 9:11 am

@bravetraveller: I went to see Underworld: Awakening and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I found both pretty good. I've been disappointed in the movie selection lately, but I think things will pick up once summer hits and movies like The Avengers comes out. I'm a movie fanatic! I'm actually working towards a degree in computer animation and I'm really torn between working on games or working in movies. I'll probably wind up doing both at some point.
@prettygirl: stuffed doesn't always cut it! My husband and I tried to go in full from a meal, but once you walk in those doors and smell that popcorn.... it's so hard to resist! What is it about popcorn at the movies? I'm not so crazy about popcorn outside the theater. It makes no sense! I worked at the theater and it's the same corn kernels and oil you might find in a Orville Redenbacher bag, but for some reason it just always tastes 10 times better.I do bring my own treats though. Besides, it's cheaper anyway with the way prices are going up!

by krobertson89 on Feb 9, 2012 at 10:22 am

Movies aren't a problem with me. One bonus of being broke is you're never tempted to spring for the $10 medium bucket of popcorn lol!

by Livvysmom2 on Feb 9, 2012 at 11:54 am

 I bring my own bag of popcorn.  I rarely go to the movies so when I go,  I really want my popcorn.  My daughter buys her treat at Walgreens on the way because you can't get a normal candybar at the movies, only super-sized.  So we save money, sugar damage, time & calories.  With the Academy Awards closing in, we'll probably go to the movies more often than usual in the next few weeks.

I would like to join Jackson's Challenge

posted by bekadvs on 8:40 pm

 Ok, I'm here, taking the challenge. Now what? Suggestions on where to start? I never seem to do well with loosing weight.

by prettygirl08 on Feb 8, 2012 at 9:04 pm

Hi bekadvs:

Welcome to The Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge. You can go in Group #70.

You've definitely come back to the right place. Everybody is very supportive and dedicated here. Losing 100 pounds is a dream which can come true!!

We're all in the same boat trying to accomplish the same thing. This is an awesome group and very supportive and dedicated.

We're here to help you in any way we can. Best of luck to you on your improved lifestyle and weight loss journey.

We weigh in on Mondays and I will post everyone's weight loss results and group records on Tuesdays.

Drink lots of water, exercise, post & read with us and track everything you eat.

Here are some guidelines for posting your losses and general information:

**********Welcome to the Challenge***********

We will support you, all the way, not just the first 100 pounds (if you have more to lose).This is just a loose chart of how you can lose 100 pounds in one year. You get four weeks to complete each goal. These are loose goals to work for and there aren't any penalties if you miss a goal. Please also set some mini goals for yourself if you wish.

Goal 1: -10
Goal 2: -10
Goal 3: -10
Goal 4: -9
Goal 5: -9
Goal 6: -9
Goal 7: -8
Goal 8: -8
Goal 9: -8
Goal 10: -7
Goal 11: -7
Goal 12: -5

Please use this format weekly when posting your updates:

My starting date is __________
My group number is _________
My loss for the week is ____________
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is __________
I have _____ pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

The key to losing weight is wanting to do it badly enough and finding the motivation to carry it through.

To start with, you need to ask yourself who you are losing weight for. If the answer is me you'll find it easier.

Get Support. Surrounding yourself with a good support network may also help to spur you on and TDP can certainly help you with that. By going into the Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge Group, you'll meet plenty of like-minded people who all want to lose weight. The advantage of this is that you'll always be able to find someone who has been through a difficult time with weight loss and has come out on the other side. This alone can be all that it takes to keep you motivated and on track.

In the meantime, you may also find it helpful to enlist the help and support of friends and family. Do you have a friend you could exercise with? Could your partner also do with eating a more healthy diet? Or could you encourage your work colleagues to do a fruit run rather than a chocolate run every afternoon?

You'll also find that once the weight starts to come off, the compliments will start to flood in and this will also help to keep you motivated. Ultimately, providing you really want to lose weight and have plenty of support to help you along the way, you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

If you need help with anything please let us know. Each Monday we post our losses for the week. (You are in Group 70).

Sodium

posted by leevanscoy on 7:00 am

OK. I don't know how I can possibly get less sodium. I'm at least double my sodium by the end of the day everyday. I'm supposed to get 1176mg/day. Today I'm already at 880 just after breakfast.  And that's with eating very few processed or packaged foods! I gained 2 lbs overnight and I know it's just water weight because I had 5000+mg of sodium yesterday!   For breakfast today I had a whole wheat tortilla, 1/2 an avacado, 4 thin slices of turkey & one slice of havarti cheese.  How can that possibly be almost all my allowed sodium for the day?  I make a lot of home made soups, which have a lot of sodium, but very few calories & tons of nutrients. I mean, really, what am I supposed to eat that doesn't have sodium?  And doesn't enjoying your food a little count for something?  Anyway, is anyone else running into this sodium dillema?

by peekajinx on Feb 8, 2012 at 8:32 am

 Looking over the days I have recorded, the only time I hit a high sodium was when I ate out or ate processed foods, otherwise my sodium didn't really go over 400 for a meal at the very most, usually it was a lot less. Personally, I never add salt to my food. I also don't use as much salt as a recipe might call for. 

by EJMM on Feb 8, 2012 at 9:13 am

Well sodium intake should be 1500-2000 mg per day. I read the food labels and use very little salt if any when cooking and stay aound 1500 Mg. anything with over 140 Mg is no longer low sodium. Check the sodium content on the tortilla! and did you buy turkey like... Dietz & Watson Gourmet Lite  No Salt  it has 50-mg sodium. Boar's head has several low sodium and no salt cheeses including swiss with only 35 mg per serving.

by krobertson89 on Feb 8, 2012 at 11:20 am

tortillas, turkey (lunchmeat?) and cheese all have LOTS of sodium. We might not think of them as processed foods because they're not in a can or box, they're still processed. Someone else is making them and you can't control the ingredients they use. Great job with the food choices, though. It sounds like you're doing well but sodium is very hard to control. Try more whole foods is really all I can say :\

by leevanscoy on Feb 8, 2012 at 5:19 pm

 Thanks for the input everyone. Today's breakfast was atypical - I usually don't eat lunchmeat or cheese, I was really surprised that such a small amount had so much sodium. Even with eating very few processed foods, I'm still getting too much sodium, but I'll keep working on it!

by bezoarman on Feb 9, 2012 at 6:36 pm

 Living in wisconsin, I can tell you one of the steps in cheese making is "salting" it.  It is soaked in a brine (saltwater) so it has lots of sodium.  But it's yummy!  If you've never seen cheese making, come on up and take a tour!

by artgal1 on Feb 12, 2012 at 8:02 am

 Someone told me that if you stick with only fresh and whole foods that you cook from scratch, you will know exactly what sodium is in it.  My hubby is diabetic and is on high blood pressure pills, so we never add salt to anything and buy only sodium reduced stuff, but it's still too much.  We do make our own sandwich meat when we have time, bought a slicer, and it really works.  When we use it.  However, hauling it out from under the cabinet is hard for me to do.  Harder than texting my hubbie to pick up sandwich meat on the way home from work.    Good luck.  You'll find a balance that's right for you.

Truly Gone for Good!

posted by peekajinx on 9:03 am

So I was skeptical that maybe my weight was just fluctuating and I would see that awful number 3 again on the scale this morning since my weight was just 299.4 yesterday, but when I hopped on the scale this morning, it was an even 298! I guess I really can say goodbye to the 300s! Though I did sort of slip up on my no fast food rule and had some really late last night/early this morning. Amazing how much that cut out of my calorie allowance today. Planning a healthy dinner tonight to make up for it, some cajun tilapia with dill sauce and asparagus on the side! Also plan on walking my son to the park, which is a good mile and half walk one way (if the weather holds up).

Good job!!!  Now keep grinding away and before you know t you will hit more and more milestones that will keep you excited.  also great job holding off the fast food... it can be so hard, but yes, it certainly plays a huge part in what you get to eat the rest of the day... I also found that out this weekend. 

by bezoarman on Feb 9, 2012 at 6:41 pm

 It is amazing how much our weight fluctuates from day to day, even if we try to do the same thing each day!  I guess if you weigh 250 lbs, 2 1/2 lbs is only a 1% change, but if it is up and it happens on a Monday morning, it can be quite frustrating to post!!
 
Keep up the great work!

75lbs to go!

posted by MHudson42484 on 6:22 am

My starting date is 01/01/2012
My group number is #68
My starting weight is 332LBS
My current weight is 307
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is 25LBS
I have 75 pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge
 

I hit a wall for a little while so I started to incorporate more weight lifting into my exercise regimen.  That caused me to gain weight at first which brought me back up to 316 but now the weight is starting to fall right off and I'm down to 307!  A couple more weeks and I hope to be safely below 300lbs which will be a first for me in three years!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 7, 2012 at 6:41 am

Woohoo, going below 300 soon. The 200's are calling your name waiting for you. Get ready to say bye bye to the 300's. 25 pounds lost FOREVER, never to be found again. Great work, keep at it.

My start date on Jackson Challenge was Dec 19 2011
Im in group 67
My weight change this week is +3
My total weight loss is 15 lbs on jackson
My current weight is 400 my goal weight is 265 my start weight was 415
I have 85lbs to go on the Jackson Challenge.
Did anyone else have a problem with the calorie tracker? I had my stats in and it gave me 2326 cals a day to lose 4 lbs a week. I reentered my numbers today and it changed it to 1877. I gained 3 lbs with the wrong figures. Now I have to figure out where to cut 500 calories a day. Back to the drawing board.

by prettygirl08 on Feb 7, 2012 at 4:14 am

Hmmmmmm, that sucks.  Not sure what happened with LS there.  You're here and you're on this journey and that is what is important.  Hopefully that little gain will be gone before you know it.  The 400's are waiting to say goodbye to you and the 300's are waiting for you.  Won't it be a nice feeling to bust out of the 400's?  That will be huge motivation to keep going!! 15 pounds lost FOREVER, great work, keep at it.

by bravetraveller on Feb 7, 2012 at 5:58 am

yeah, I did.  I started out with the wrong calorie intake because I entered stuff in wrong- (I thought it was to lose, but then I looked a few days later and it said it was to maintain current weight!)  Then I thought, this still seems a little off, and re-did it again.  All week I thought I was doing good, but on Monday, it said I gained a pound!  I considered cutting it drastically, until someone recommended I maintain and keep the exercise routine to see what happens this week.  I weighed myself this morning just to see, and it was down 5 lbs.  So... all of this to say, I thought I was going back to the drawing board too, but I think I'm just going to tweak a few things and see what happens next week.  Like, I'm not going to eat a big supper, but try to stay around 350/400 calories early in the evening.  I'm also going to maintain my exercise routine from last week and maybe up it on the weekend.  So...  maybe think about tweaking instead of doing something drastic?

I ate right, started exercising again consistently, but haven't completely stopped snacking between 1 am and 3am; I am trying to break this habit though by going to bed earlier. I console myself that at least I did not gain this week. Maybe next week will be better.

You didn't gain and maintaining is much better than gaining.  8 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.

I’m actually okay with not losing anything this past week.  I’m super happy I didn’t put any weight back on!  This week presented a lot of emotional challenges as I had a death in my family.  I didn’t take the time to exercise and I wasn’t eating my own cooking, which makes it more difficult for me to manage my calories.  I’m certain that next week I’ll be back to losing.  Good luck and great work to everyone else that has achieved weight loss this week!

by Livvysmom2 on Feb 6, 2012 at 11:30 pm

 I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be very difficult to plan or even think about planning.   It is great that you took out time for yourself to weigh in and post here.  Take care,  Linda

Sorry for your loss - it's hard to focus on diet and exercise at times like that.  Hang in there - maintaining in that situation is great!

My gain for the week is: 1 lbs!
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is: 0
I have 101 lbs to go!
This first week was so weird!  I thought for sure I would lose- my pants feel looser, I exercised and sweated hardcore 5x a week, and on the other two days, I got out and walked a lot.  When I first started I was 265, then in the middle of the week I was 263.5 and this morning, 266!  I thought I did pretty good with my diet- this weekend I preplanned, went out Friday night and only had a beer- ate a good supper before I went so I avoided appetizers.  I ate a lean cuisine pizza Sat. night instead of ordering a pizza and didn't eat anything snacky on Sunday!  When I started a little over a week ago, I thought I should eat 1600 calories, then I switched to 1500 calories.  This week, I'm going down to 1200 calories a day, continuing with working out and REALLY making sure I eat right every day.  Last week I did have one day, Wed. where I went over my calories for the day.  It didn't take much- Starbucks here, chocolate in the afternoon there.  Could that one day of a few hundred calories really screw me over?  Anyhow, I have carrots, grapes, strawberries and apples all ready to grab for lunches, yogurt and lean cuisines.  My veggie drawer is full and ready for when I come home to cook supper.  I also think that this week I need to decrease my calorie content at night-eat a real light supper.  I'm going to make sure I work out 5x, and this weekend, I'm going to challenge myself to actually going out and working out.  I felt kind of anxious this weekend, so I didn't go to my gym- but I did get out.  Oh, and I finally bought my own scale so I don't have to rely on finding a scale to measure myself on.  Hopefully next week weigh in, it will be a whole different story!  Good luck to everyone this week!

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 7:41 pm

 be careful going too low - consider doing the same thing you did this week one more time and check back next week.  1200 calories is below your BMR - the number of calories your body would require if you were asleep 24 hours a day.  It will burn muscle to decrease your basal metabolism - making it harder to lose weight in the long run.
 
Hang in there - there are lots of reasons the scales didn't move - it could be hydration - a gallon of water weighs 7 pounds - going up a pound isn't much extra water!  
 
Hang in there!  

by bravetraveller on Feb 7, 2012 at 3:11 am

 Hmmm.  Okay, that sounds like a plan.  I'll keep the calories at 1500, but change the amount of calories I eat at night and keep the exercise the same and see what happens.  Thanks for the encouragement!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 7, 2012 at 4:20 am

You're here doing this still and that is what is important. Is there a lot of sodium in Lean Cuisine meals?  I know pre packaged meals do at times. They could be lean as far as fat but sodium?  Not sure.  Good job on the walking, that's awesome. Our clothes and measurements are definitely other ways we can see our success besides our friend the scale.  Keep at it, you CAN do this!!!

by bravetraveller on Feb 7, 2012 at 6:14 am

Yeah, they don't have the ideal sodium content, but I don't use salt in my other foods... and try to stay away from processed foods the rest of the time.  I'm glad you brought that up though- I do have to make sure I keep that down. I used to have high blood pressure.  Maybe I'll only do the meals every other day.  I think that's a good idea.  Thanks for looking out!

 Are there any gold members here and what is your opinion on going gold? Is there that much difference for the price?

by Livvysmom2 on Feb 6, 2012 at 11:37 pm

 I'm a Gold Memer, but probably won't renew my membership when my year is up.  For me, the motivation was the advertisment-free zone.  I can't think of any other advantages to upgrading.  Take care, Linda

Well a Gold Membership will help surport the web site for a start and will give you a nifty weight loss bar over your info/profile as so >

Very nice additions to aid in your weight loss, I personel like the Nutrition chart and custom setting
Hope this helps.

Very good point about the Gold membership supporting the site.  I am finding LiveStrong and Jackson's Challenge to be very supportive, so I will renew my membership to recipricate .   I would cry if the site had to close for lack of funding.  PLUS, I've lost 6.5 pounds since January 1st and I give LS & JC most of the credit.   If you only knew how long I've tried to lose even one pound, you'd know how excited I am about this small loss.  bye & thanks!

Start Date: 01/01/2012 Start Weight: 330
Loss for Jan: 7lbs Beginning of Feb Weight: 223!
Does anyone know of workouts that I won't hurt myself doing?  Maybe a dvd routine, or your own creation workout?

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 5:17 pm

 Hi Sara - you either had a typo or lost weight incredibly quickly!  Seriously, thou, seven pounds is a great month! Keep it up!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 6, 2012 at 6:37 pm

Try google possibly?  Nice loss of 7 pounds, that's 7 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.

Walk Away The Pounds is a good series.  Most of the DVDs have at least two speeds.   Good Luck!

The problem you are having is the same as mine. You are not eating enough for calories burned. You must eat to lose weight.

NOT HAPPY WITH RESULTS AFTER EXERCISING LIKE A MAD WOMAN AND EATING HEALTHY:

posted by Lynnda2012 on 1:21 pm

Hello friends. I am going to be honest. I am so disgusted with my weigh in today. I couldn't have done anything any differently. I ate right and exercised. I got on that scale and only dropped .2 of a pound. I know a loss is better than a gain, but I worked my heart out. I will not go back to eating junk and not exercising. Maybe my body is trying to get used to the new things that it's doing. I guess it should because it's used to doing nothing. :) I did lose 1/4 inch in my right thigh****3/4 inch in my left thigh******and 1/2 inch in my waist that seems to never go down....... Here is my net calores consumed for the last seven days.......if anyone could help me please feel to.......I was trying to eat between 1650 to 1800 calories per day.....
Monday:1584
Tuesday:780
Wed:816

Disclaimer - I'm still pretty high from a sedative from the doctors office -
 
I see you've been at this a while, and after losing 64 pounds (which is freakin awesome btw, congrats) it may be that you're on a plateau. Have you been losing consitantly or did you just recently get back at changing back to healthy habits? If you just got back at it, it may just be that your body is adjusting to the recent changes after losing some weight the last few weeks. It seems like most people that I've seen post here do really good the first 2 or 3 weeks then there's a bump in the road for a week or two, so it seems normal.
 
I have no idea if this pertains to you or not but; Another thing is the net calories. There seems to be 2 camps about how much calories that LS says we burn. Some feel it's right on and others think it's way too high. For me personally, after reading tons of posts on the forums and many groups here, and articles around the net I'm part of the LS over estimates how much we burn for most people. I use a heart monitor and I also bought something called a bodybugg to track my calories burned, and then split the difference. One thing I notice that people try and use the fitness tracker to track everything... "I cleaned the floors/I washed my car" etc... and think that is exercise. Sure, you are burning calories, but I'm pretty sure that things we do on a day to day basis should not be calculated as fitness. For instance, when I go shopping and spend 30 minutes at the store walking around that isn't 30 minutes of exercise, it's part of a normal sedentary life style. Bottom line; I set a daily and a weekly calorie goal and I try to stick with it regardless of how much I was at the gym or chased my cat around my house.
 
Lastly, you've lost inches and that's just as or perhaps more important as what the scale says. I wouldn't be too freaked out yet if I were you unless 2 weeks for now you're still not getting the results you feel you've earned. You've really came a long way and you will succeed if you don't stop trying.
 
 
 
 

by Lynnda2012 on Feb 6, 2012 at 3:20 pm

Thanks fattyjim. My body has been acting up starting at week 3, I gained 4 pounds I think it was 4. My clothes are definitely looser. My pockets on one pair were sticking out at the  sides, now they are not and they are much looser all around. I might just pitch that darn scale. Oops, can't do that, then I couldn't report in here. (I feel like throwing it in a river) Thanks again for the response. I lost the other weight starting from Jan 2010 up until I started here 1/2/2012. One day at a time. I'm going to keep on doing what I'm doing. I am not giving up. I'm just going to count the exercise I do and use the LS calculator and I will deduct 1/4 of the  calories  to be on the safe side. I just started changing things on the 2nd of Jan. I guess my body went into shock. :) I use a heart rate monitor with a calorie burned thingy on it, but it's a cheap one and I don't even use that thing....:) How do you like your body bugg? I was thinking about getting one. Please let me know if you like it. Thanks again.......
-Linda

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 4:13 pm

 Hang in there, you're doing well!  You are right, just take it one day at a time and remember to look at the non-scale achievements too.

by fattyjim on Feb 6, 2012 at 4:27 pm

 With as far as you've come, 10 (basically 11) pounds lost in a month is pretty darn good. I hope that when I'm at your weight that I can lose that, I'd be thrilled. So yeah your plan to keep doing what you're doing is probably the best plan.
 
The bodybugg has been an eye opener in that the days I'm really lazy and I'm not hitting high burn numbers it really motivated me to move more. As far as how accurate it is, I'd say that their claim it's within 10% seems about right. At the end of the month if I take the total calories I burned from the bugg, subtract that from my total calories I ate and divide the difference by 3500 (how many calories for a pound) it's been almost right on, within 2 or 3 pounds every month I've had it. Last month was:
 
Bugg said I burned: 126,202
 
Total calories eaten: 59,149
 
Subtract eaten from burned =  67,503 deficit
 
Divide deficit by 3,500 = 19.1
 
Actual pounds lost for the month: 18 pounds
 
If you do decide to get a bugg google 24 hour fitness bodybugg deals, they usually sell it for less than the company. I got mine for $99.
 
Anyways, good luck!

You're here with us and you're keeping at this, WAY TO GO!!!  We all have to remember to measure our success in other ways besides our friend the *$&#^@#% scale.  Your measurements are showing success, I'm sure your clothes are fitting differently, we get compliments and just knowing we're improving our lifestyle is success.  10.8 pounds lost is fantastic. Great work, keep at it.

by Lynnda2012 on Feb 6, 2012 at 7:19 pm

Thank you so much bezoarman I needed to read that. Thanks again fattjim for the information. I think I'll google 24 hour fitness and if they still have it for 99.00 I'm ordering it tonight. :) thanks again...prettygirl08m, thank you so much. I'm agreeing with everything all three of you said and thanks so much. I'm off to google 24 hour fitness. :) :) :) Have a great night everyone........

Hello team,
 
This week I have mainly maintained and I have had a bit of a rubbish week. I feel really poorly and keep chucking up all over the place. basically all i want is a mars bar.
(do you have them?)
 
I consider myself considerably lucky to hae done this well and hope that I will be a it more dedicated next week. Will be back in the gym again too which will be a relief.
 
I hate the gym so I got to swim most days, 21 times in January (my gym has a leaderboard for most frequent trips, I came second!!) but this weekend I ave taken people in with me that have mucked around. This is great fun but not entirely conducive to weight loss.
 
Just got to keep thinking about where I want to beand how I'm going to get to.
 
So... In summary
Start date 18th November 2012
Loss this week 0 ... least I didn't gain!!
Total loss 25lbs
75 to go!!

by fattyjim on Feb 6, 2012 at 3:12 pm

 You've come so far, you can't stop now! Stay focused on your goals, don't let anyone or anything stand between you and where you want to be. Good luck this week. BTW; the place that makes the mars bars burnt down, so have an apple!

by EJMM on Feb 6, 2012 at 4:36 pm

Hey... I know you're trying hard...hang in there,The weight loss will come! Stay Postive!!

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 5:03 pm

 21 trips to the gym is wonderful.  That shows how hard you are willing to work for this.  It's very common to have weeks where you have no loss - sometimes even a gain.  Nobody's graph is a straight line.  If you have more downs than ups, you'll get to where you want to be!
 
Jim - that's funny, but I bet a toasted Mars bar would be yummy!! ;)

by msteacher74 on Feb 6, 2012 at 5:05 pm

hang in there!!!!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 6, 2012 at 6:47 pm

You're here with us and that is what is important.  You didn't gain and that is important also. Maintaining is much better than gaining. 25 pounds lost FOREVER, never to be found again. Great work, keep at it.

Survived the Super Bowl with little to no damage on my weekly work

posted by ipedregon on 8:27 am

I got sick and was not able to work out,  but I was able to count my calories and track all week.  My fiance and I counted our calories on Saturday pretty well and also most of Sunday.  For the Super Bowl we made Turkey Chilli and did have some chips and queso but I served myself small portions and we only made about 1/3 of what we normally would.  This helped us get that taste but not take in the Calories.
The other thing that helped was looking up calories whenever we get tempted to eat someting bad.  You start craving something bad and find out it's 500 calories it really puts the breaks on ! 
Favorite Healthy Snacks,  I'm keeping Green Apples, Raisins, and Individual Packs of SunFlower Seeds at my desk.
Sunflower Seeds are great 180 calories in 1 pack but it takes you and hour to eat them.  It's a good desk munchy.
Finally recording a loss,  am feeling better now that doctors put me on antibiotics for ear infections,  so this week I'll start some light work outs.
GROUP 42 Start 1/15/10 Starting weight was 322 Lbs

 Great job on keeping the munchies down! I know my husband got addicted to sunflower seeds when he was trying to quit smoking. They're good for a lot of things. I'm thinking maybe I should give them a go since I am trying to curb my grazing in the kitchen due to boredom :/

You've definitely come back to the right place. Everybody is very supportive and dedicated here. Losing 100 pounds is a dream which can come true!!

We're all in the same boat trying to accomplish the same thing. This is an awesome group and very supportive and dedicated.

We're here to help you in any way we can. Best of luck to you on your improved lifestyle and weight loss journey.

We weigh in on Mondays and I will post everyone's weight loss results and group records on Tuesdays.

Drink lots of water, exercise, post & read with us and track everything you eat.

Here are some guidelines for posting your losses and general information:

**********Welcome to the Challenge***********

We will support you, all the way, not just the first 100 pounds (if you have more to lose).This is just a loose chart of how you can lose 100 pounds in one year. You get four weeks to complete each goal. These are loose goals to work for and there aren't any penalties if you miss a goal. Please also set some mini goals for yourself if you wish.

Goal 1: -10
Goal 2: -10
Goal 3: -10
Goal 4: -9
Goal 5: -9
Goal 6: -9
Goal 7: -8
Goal 8: -8
Goal 9: -8
Goal 10: -7
Goal 11: -7
Goal 12: -5

Please use this format weekly when posting your updates:

My starting date is __________
My group number is _________
My loss for the week is ____________
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is __________
I have _____ pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

The key to losing weight is wanting to do it badly enough and finding the motivation to carry it through.

To start with, you need to ask yourself who you are losing weight for. If the answer is me you'll find it easier.

Get Support. Surrounding yourself with a good support network may also help to spur you on and TDP can certainly help you with that. By going into the Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge Group, you'll meet plenty of like-minded people who all want to lose weight. The advantage of this is that you'll always be able to find someone who has been through a difficult time with weight loss and has come out on the other side. This alone can be all that it takes to keep you motivated and on track.

In the meantime, you may also find it helpful to enlist the help and support of friends and family. Do you have a friend you could exercise with? Could your partner also do with eating a more healthy diet? Or could you encourage your work colleagues to do a fruit run rather than a chocolate run every afternoon?

You'll also find that once the weight starts to come off, the compliments will start to flood in and this will also help to keep you motivated. Ultimately, providing you really want to lose weight and have plenty of support to help you along the way, you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

If you need help with anything please let us know. Each Monday we post our losses for the week. (You are in Group 69).

Well, the super glue on the scale finally let go!  Not a great loss, but hey it is a loss, even with a weekend full of terrible food.  Now I ask myself, "where would I be if I had eaten correctly this weekend?"

 Great loss!  Way to go!  So glad that super glue let go!

My loss for the week is 1
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is 6.2
I have 93.8 pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge

I worked out VERY hard this week and I am a little upset that the scale didnt show that.  I will admit that Saturday I struggled with food and had an odd sleep pattern due to working an overnight shift, but I still really felt that the scale would love me more.  I went to the gym 2x yesterday to try and counteract the extra calories and do feel sore today.  Hopefully my body will let go and give way mid week and the scale will better represent last week plus this week next monday. 
Have a great week all you Losers!

by artgal1 on Feb 6, 2012 at 7:59 am

You still lost a pound, so that's wonderful news!  Slow and steady.  The scale will catch up soon.  Great job!

by prettygirl08 on Feb 6, 2012 at 9:43 am

A loss is a loss and much better than a gain. Nice loss of 1 pound this week and 6.2 pounds lost FOREVER. Great work, keep at it.  You're doing awesome!!!

by EJMM on Feb 6, 2012 at 10:03 am

Nice loss of 1 Lb...Without those swollen muscles you more then likey loss more. Nice job loss of 6.2 Lbs so far.

 keep up the great work! 

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 8:15 pm

 At least in my experience, it seems that cutting back on eating shows up sooner on the scale, the workouts help, the scale just takes a while to catch up.  Hang in there - you are off to a great start!!

The scale and I are no longer on speaking terms. It's a filthy liar. I've been working really darn hard and it can go jump off a cliff. I'm not sure that I'll weigh in next week or if I'm going to just keep loyally tracking and forget about the scale for a while. I have all sorts of dirty names to call it. I think a big part of my problem is I'm not getting enough water. I'll try to make that my goal this week.

by kkgrasty on Feb 6, 2012 at 7:33 am

Stick with it... sounds like we are in similar spots with working out tush off and the scale icking on our wow.  If you dont weigh in it really is no big deal as long as you keep doing what you know you need to.  Have you measured your inches?  Sometimes you can see it there and then the scale really cant get you down. 
 

by artgal1 on Feb 6, 2012 at 8:06 am

That Poopy Scale!  What does it know?  Of course, MY scale knew that I had nachos and chicken and beer and puff pastries while watching the Super Bowl, so called me on it this morning.  You've come so far already.  Keep at it and things will balance off.  I've been at this for over a year and I'm still hoping to get to the 10 pounds lost mark.  But I clearly wasn't working out for most of that time.  You, on the other hand, are doing the right things and that darn scale will smarten up eventually.  Hang in there.  You'll do this!!
 
Heather

by prettygirl08 on Feb 6, 2012 at 9:59 am

Our friend, the *$&#^@#% scale isn't the only way to measure our success.  Other ways are by coming here and continuing, our measurements, how our clothes feel, measurements, etc. etc.  We are in this together and making our lives healthier and making ourselves stronger. 40.4 pounds lost FOREVER is awesome. Great work, keep at it.

by EJMM on Feb 6, 2012 at 10:13 am

don't panic! It's only a temporary condition  krobertson89, Stay cool...and great job on 40.4 Lbs loss so far!

 All that great work will show next week.!!! Keep going your doing GREAT!!!!

by fattyjim on Feb 6, 2012 at 2:50 pm

 Oh wow I was laughing my ass about the things you said about the scale. You have come so far... You know you can do this. I think you just recently came back to the challange (?) so it may just be your body readjusting to the new changes. I don't know if you have, but others suggested checking to see if you lost some inches.
 
Good luck to you this week.

by bezoarman on Feb 6, 2012 at 8:11 pm

 Yeah, I know what you mean about the scale - I wanted to toss mine too.  Of course we'll love them next week when we all post LOSSES!!

Great job this week, folks, and best of luck for next week.

I would like to join Jackson's 100 pound challenge group

posted by redneck609 on 9:13 pm

Hey everyone, i am a new member to livestrong and i am in need of guidance and help. I am 21 and i weigh 354 pounds.  I have gone way out of control ever since i graduated high school and my football career ended with a bad car accident.  Since then i gave up on myself.  But with a new love in my life she fears for my health and as do I.  I am here to change my life around and get back in shape and fit not just for me but for my love so i can lessen my risk of diseases.  I appreciate any support and help i can get as i will gladly give it too.

by prettygirl08 on Feb 6, 2012 at 4:36 am

Hi redneck609:

Welcome to The Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge. You can go in Group #69.

You've definitely come back to the right place. Everybody is very supportive and dedicated here. Losing 100 pounds is a dream which can come true!!

We're all in the same boat trying to accomplish the same thing. This is an awesome group and very supportive and dedicated.

We're here to help you in any way we can. Best of luck to you on your improved lifestyle and weight loss journey.

We weigh in on Mondays and I will post everyone's weight loss results and group records on Tuesdays.

Drink lots of water, exercise, post & read with us and track everything you eat.

Here are some guidelines for posting your losses and general information:

**********Welcome to the Challenge***********

We will support you, all the way, not just the first 100 pounds (if you have more to lose).This is just a loose chart of how you can lose 100 pounds in one year. You get four weeks to complete each goal. These are loose goals to work for and there aren't any penalties if you miss a goal. Please also set some mini goals for yourself if you wish.

Goal 1: -10
Goal 2: -10
Goal 3: -10
Goal 4: -9
Goal 5: -9
Goal 6: -9
Goal 7: -8
Goal 8: -8
Goal 9: -8
Goal 10: -7
Goal 11: -7
Goal 12: -5

Please use this format weekly when posting your updates:

My starting date is __________
My group number is _________
My loss for the week is ____________
My total loss on the Jackson's Challenge is __________
I have _____ pounds left to lose to meet the Jackson's Challenge.

The key to losing weight is wanting to do it badly enough and finding the motivation to carry it through.

To start with, you need to ask yourself who you are losing weight for. If the answer is me you'll find it easier.

Get Support. Surrounding yourself with a good support network may also help to spur you on and TDP can certainly help you with that. By going into the Jackson's 100 Pound Challenge Group, you'll meet plenty of like-minded people who all want to lose weight. The advantage of this is that you'll always be able to find someone who has been through a difficult time with weight loss and has come out on the other side. This alone can be all that it takes to keep you motivated and on track.

In the meantime, you may also find it helpful to enlist the help and support of friends and family. Do you have a friend you could exercise with? Could your partner also do with eating a more healthy diet? Or could you encourage your work colleagues to do a fruit run rather than a chocolate run every afternoon?

You'll also find that once the weight starts to come off, the compliments will start to flood in and this will also help to keep you motivated. Ultimately, providing you really want to lose weight and have plenty of support to help you along the way, you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

If you need help with anything please let us know. Each Monday we post our losses for the week. (You are in Group 69).
