Stable is good (for now.)

The weight is at 204 lbs. A couple of pounds lighter than last week, but still higher than the week before at 201 lbs. No worries, a minor setback. The path is clear and the spirit is strong. Onward & forward my lard-filled body. Your road to glory shall be but the beginning. Fame, fortune await.

Also I am so so so so proud of my friends, we went for at least a 6 mile-walk.
Good Job friend!!!!!

Kisses to all of you

145.8

Wonderful, today I love my scale, I woke up, and walked towards my scale with very cautious steps - I did not want the disappointment - I got on the scale waited the 3 seconds, without looking down, thinking: "even if I am on a plateau, then fine, I might not have lost weight, but hey, I am gaining muscles", then I looked! 145.8 great. I am so happy, one more pond and a half and I would have reached my goal for November 10th.

I am going for a walk with Hubby and son, hopefully make a 4 miler... and I will be having a veggie-omelet for breakfast.

I am Happy.

147

I put on the half pound back on, but I am not upset at all, I know I have not eaten out of what my diet allows, and I work out, walked on the treadmill for 4 miles, however I really think I am building muscles. I can tell my muscles are becoming stronger. SO I am fine actually, i am am very happy, I look more toned.
So I will not let myself be discouraged, I just have to work harder.

I feel that by Next Monday i can report a 145 or better a 144. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Not much to mention!!

Hey all,

Great job 2 Tough.. happy for you!
Salt-Liksus: yes, we need to walk more and more.

For me, although no new about my weight, but at least as it is from last time. Will work on it!!

Hope we'll have happy results after a while from hiking and walking here and there guys :)

What about the others really? we didn't hear anything about their results..!

Keep it up.

Yesterday's walk, today's gain

Good morning all,
DG and I walked 4 miles yesterday (16 laps.) I have to admit that the laps are getting easier and easier to finish and it has become easy for us to miscalculate them. Yesterday, for the first time in a long long while, I started outpacing other walkers on the track. I felt a good surge of energy. I might return to jogging if walking becomes too ineffective. Let's hope my legs remember how! :P Walking, I feel, takes a lot more time to burn a sufficient amount of calories. Jogging on the other hand is murder on the knees.
On the not-so-hot front of weight loss, I woke up today to learn that I was back to 204 lbs. I consider this a minor setback if that. I think my momentum has begun to pick up.
DG and I have been reflecting that we haven't missed a single day of walking this week. I pray the weather maintains it's cooperation with our goals!
DG and Jambalaya, we haven't heard from you in quite a while. Please update us with any news!
I am on my way down with Pounds, and very happy to announce it. Going for a walk today and hope all goes well, and tomorrow I will report that I lost 10 pounds :) (wishful thinking)

I am looking forward to this weekend, I really want to make my Goal for November,

I am making Chicken with a non fat Sauce, and will eat a salad on the side for lunch. I had a snack bar for breakfast and will have fruits for dinner.

What are you guys up to?

Progress Report

Good morning folks. I am happy to report that my weight is at 202 lbs this morning. Walking 10 laps (2.5 miles) last night and the night before with DG had something to do with it. I hope this wonderful weather sustains for a little longer. I will try not to miss a single night if I could help it! How is progress on your front? DG, Jambalaya & 2 Tough? I hope all is well. :)

Hike this weekend...

Hello Gang! DG and I were thinking of hiking this Sunday. We were thinking of either Mission Peak in Fremont or the PG&E trail in Rancho San Antonio in Los Altos. Are you folks interested in joining us? I checked the weather for Sunday and it's going to be a nice 64F. Mission Peak has a round trip of 6 miles but is very steep (should be a fantastic challenge). Rancho San Antonio's PG&E trail is 9 miles but a lot gentler (has lots of shady areas and varies in terrain). Neither is flat and both will reward you with beautiful scenery. Mission Peak tends to get crowded a lot faster so we have be to at the parking lot at around 7 a.m. . Rancho has a lot more parking available and can have spots available till 8:00 a.m. . Both hikes should take us anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Take a jacket with you just in case.
If you are interested please call us or comment on this blog. Also, call us for directions! We would LOVE to have you join us.

This weekend should be fun.

Hey there Gang.

I am weighing myself tomorrow, however I walked 4 miles yesterday.
I feel so proud and happy that finally I started walking even if by myself, or with my baby boy in a stroller.

I am planning on walking 4 miles today as well, wish me luck.

I hope you are all doing well, and I hope your diets and exercises are coming along well.

Kisses to all of you.

Walking helps!

On Saturday, DG, Jambalaya Boy and Princess walked a little over 10 miles in San Francisco. Boy did that pay off! I weighed in at 203 lbs on Sunday. I am happy! Progress is slow but steady. Patience young Paduwan. Patience. The road is arduous but it rewards those that stay the course.

Stagnation Nation

Hello folks! Sorry for the abrupt shortage in posts. I got a little busy at the office. All things are quiet at the diet front. My weight is still stuck at 204 lbs. Yesterday Jambalaya Boy, DG and myself went for a 6.25-mile walk. The outcome? Well it should have been a happy morning, but yesterday, I got so hungry after the walk that I had a bowl of cereal and soy milk right before bedtime. Not very smart on my part and it went against my better judgement. No matter though. This morning, a co-worker bought bagels and shmears for the entire office and I managed to resist them outright. I got tempted a couple of times, but I deflected the temptation by giving the bagels to my cubicle neighbors. So I feel that I haven't truly given up on my task, and I sincerely hope everyone else is doing the same.

I read your post 2Tough, and I hope you get the chance to gain momentum again. Keep up the good work everyone, our goals should not be the end of the journey, but rather the continuation of healthier lifestyles for all of us. Good habits should be learned and shared. I will start sharing what I know about my diet plan. This will help me better reflect on myself, and where I can fine-tune my diet.

Au revoir for now!

In PLace

I am not Budging, I have not lost an ounce, I am not sure what to do. I will go walk today a little, and try to cute on some food, and eat a fruit for dinner.
How are you all doing?

Thursday, October 29, 2009

I am back up on the scale.

What is Up you guys???

Well I am back up after the weekend of Sebastian's birthday to 147 pounds, we had people over for dinner, and the food was there, and so were the pounds the next morning.
I am not sure how to approach this, but I will go back to my diet, all I know is that I am not exercising, I need to.

What is the feedback, I need you guys.

Friday, October 23, 2009

NOt BAd, Not BAd!!

144.5
One pound gone since last week.

Keep moving.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

I like happy news

138 lbs for today!! :)

Hope all of you are doing well.

Keeping Steady

DG, Jambalaya Boy, and his Saltiness walked a little over 5 miles yesterday. Salty's body doesn't seem to understand that it's time to let go of the weight. Salty's body seems to be clogged or something. Salty's brain is a little pissed off at this, but is hopeful that Salty's body will comply in the next couple of days and shed those extra pounds. Pray for Salty's brain to conquer Salty's stubborn body.

Setback...

Like clockwork, I have paid the predicted pizza price. My weight is back to 205 lbs this morning. This is only strengthening my resolve. I realize we should have gone walking yesterday evening but a combination of procrastination, wet weather and home chores made for the perfect excuse. Not today though! You guys are welcome to join me. DG you're coming right? Jambalaya? Princess? Anyone else?

Until tomorrow, I will be victorious.

Monday, October 19, 2009

I couldn't resist it!!

I'm still at 185 lbs!
Salty-Lexus; your pizza wasn't helpful last night, AT ALL!! If you've got just 2-3 slices... I got 7-8 :(
That was bad, hope I can fix it in the next couple of days... Have a great week. :)

Inspite of Yesterday

I was expecting to have had my weight loss streak hindered after yesterday evening's eating bonanza. After all, I had 2-3 slices of pizza (I lost track), two chocolate brownie bites, two bread sticks and I think 2 wine coolers. I am happy to announce that my weight is at 203.5 lbs. In other words, I have lost another half pound! I don't know how to explain that (I don't want to jinx myself.) I have a feeling it's going to bounce back come tomorrow. I shall do my best not to eat much today. I might also walk some of it off today too. DG were goin' walking tonight if it doesn't rain. I hope you have a wonderful week folks. Good luck, and keep posting.

What a beautiful Sunday Morning!

I guess the title says it all. Thanks to Jambalaya Boy and DG, I was able to walk 20 laps around the Campbell Community Center track yesterday! Boy, did that pay off! This morning I weighed in at 204 lbs. Hallelujah! I just need to maintain this. I wish I could have the time to walk this much every single evening! How are you guys doing?

* This is going to be a beautiful day ;) *

Saturday, October 17, 2009

I Got my Eyes on You 200 lbs!

You are in my sight. I will be stalking you until there is no escape. I am not very far by the way. Lurking and waiting in the shadows. You are but a mere 5 lbs away. When I pounce, I shall destroy you. You are merely a number. You are weak and I am strong. My friends and I don't like you, and you shall pay the price. Be afraid 200, be very afraid.

Friday, October 16, 2009

It's 2 tough!!

Ok, so I got the scale and I weigh 185 lbs as I mentioned earlier.
I wish I can reach 170 lbs by the end of November, it's 2 tough though!
I'm having my cereal every morning, hitting the gym about an hour and a half everyday.
I'm eating one meal a day; however, an apple or an orange comes in between.
I don't think I'm doing good, my one meal is not even related to the diet. Maybe that's why!

What's up with you guys?!

%$# Scale


Not a good day to report on anything folks. The darn weight is back to 207 lbs. I expect (hope) to shed 1-2 lbs by tomorrow morning. The reason being that I only had grilled veggies and soup yesterday. Also DG and I walked a few laps around the track. So hopefully that will reflect on my body soon.... Until next time, I hope I have unshackled my binds.

145.5

Weight loss Slowly.
As we were invited to dinner, I felt having to try the main menu that was cooked in our honor.
However I survived the over-indulging-myself.
Good day and see you soon.
Good Job Salty.

Good Glorious Morning


The weight? 205 lbs,

The loss? 1 lb,

The feeling? Priceless.

I want to hear some good news from the rest of you today! (I am the left monkey.)

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Since Jambalaya Boy scolded me...







Hey I only thrive on instigation... Here are a couple of fatty photos borrowed from the "this is why you're fat web site" I hope Jambalaya gains weight by simply looking at them!!! hehehehe



Me too

The same as yesterday 140
I'm thinking not to weigh myself everyday, maybe skipping days!
I guess it'll be more efficient...

WHy, Oh WHy???

Today I weighed my self, preparing myself for good news, however my scale told me that i have not lost anything since yesterday. And I went to the world of "Why me???Oh why Me?"
However after a couple of minutes I said to myself, this scale is messing with me, and I am going to get it, so by the end of this week I am sure this scale will read differently and I will be the one to laugh.
I salute all my Gang, they are holding on, and doing well,
And one day we are all going to meet and discuss how many pounds we lost all together, and this will be the cause to celebrate the fact that we are one heck of a Gang and we are there for each other.

Kisses to you all.
I am still at 146.

Disaster Averted

Good morning my friends. I wanted to mention that my weight has remained at 206 lbs from yesterday. Not much to boast about I guess.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

I think I'm on the right way

1 lbs less for today!!
Doing good :)

What I ate for lunch part deux


Since I care to share, here is what I had a few minutes ago:
Persian food; I had 5 cubes of chicken breast and two pieces of ground beef, followed by a wonderful Osh with lemon juice. I may need to skip dinner as a precaution. No panic, stay on target, you can do this Salty!
Oops! I forgot to mention grilled onions. DG, open all the windows!!!

Am I the only inactive person here?!

Ok, first of all... I need to get a scale...
And the rain should STOP, I can't do this while it's raining... for different reasons...

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to say Hi everyone!

In addition to the diet and loosing weight, I need to stop talking on the phone!
Oh brb, I have a phone call... Hmmm maybe it's gonna take a while... then ttyl :D

Good luck everyone, cheerio!

I feel Good.......

I woke up today and as we said we'll weigh ourselves in the morning, Ha I AM 146.0 wahahaha. Check it out Salty.... I am rubbing it in since you started. Anyway, I am happy for both of us!
Good job on the 2 pounds, and mine was 2.6 pounds. however I do feel that you deserve the applause, I might have been water retaining.

I am on my way to my Skinny jeans again!

I love everybody....haha.

Good Morning from his Saltiness




Just wanted to chime in my mass for the day. I am at 206 lbs feeling fine and wonderful on this wet Tuesday morning.


Hmm, what is that I hear? It's faint, but I can still hear it. It's becoming clearer. It's panic! Panic and cries from my fellow barbecuers as they feel the pressure of their eminent defeat! hahahaha!

About DG

Hi,

I weighed myself today and I'm 141 lbs ...
I'm aiming to lose 8 more lbs.
As far as what I ate, so far so good for today!

Good luck all :)

What I ate for lunch

For lunch I had 1 lb of grilled vegetables. I am so going to win this race! Enjoy your pizzas!

Hi I am 2 Tough!!

Well as much as my name inspires strength, I was talking about the fact that I need to lose 28 lbs by February 14...That is too too too tough! But my Attitude is right, I am determined and now that Salty-Licksus believes competitiveness is the Key to weight Loss, I say: Bring it on friend..!!!
So I am 148, and I want to be 120, my usual weight. Just had a baby and need the weight off.
I am 5'8'' and have Support so far from my hubby and a great friend of mine who is waiting for me to get back in my old size so we can start exchanging clothes from our wardrobes, to both of them I say: big Thanks.
And to to the Gang I say: Bon Courage and You Can Do It!

P.S: Today I weighed 148.6


Darn those tasty macaroons

OK, so I woke up this morning not expecting any good news from my cheapo scale. Wouldn't you know it, I have gained 1.5 lbs from yesterday morning. I weighed in at 208.5 lbs. Looks like my scale has "slapped me!! sir..."

OK so my humble brain has concluded that macaroons are off the menu if I ever plan to succeed in this.

On an another thought I think that the moderator (not to name names but she was the one contributing the macaroons) has succeeded in slowing my progress. OK, OK I will name names, she is EYE-LEAN, a.k.a. Thin-Eye. But I will not succumb to temptation no more. I shall lose 35 lbs come Valentines Day.

So this was my introduction to myself: I try to lose weight, and have fun doing it in the process. Whatever the outcome of this, I think my friends and I all agree that we shall all benefit from the weight loss. Good luck to all, and let's hope we keep it up!!!
