The 2011 New Year Diet Resolution Thread

decides2dream

well, starting off week 5 today, and maintaining my 10 pound loss.
after the weekend i've had, it's amazing!
i had actually lost another 1.5 pounds by saturday, but yea.....the weekend wiped that out. actually, i was great friday and saturday the damage was all sunday. i'd love to blame the superbowl, a party....but we watched movies just the 2 of us. :P tho we did go to the market yesterday and we had planned on tilapia for dinner last night but seeing everyone load up on wings, etc....hubby wanted nachos and wings, how could i say no to that? :? so omg...hubby made nachos loaded up with black olives and jalapenos and fresh guacamole...then he bbq-ed up a ton of wings, nice and spicy.....i ate 12. yikes. oh, and did i mention i drank a bottle of wine, solo? :oops: yea.....totally off the wagon yesterday! eh well....glad i managed to keep off the 10, and we all need a mega splurge now and again. man, it was soooo yummy, tho my body is most definitely NOT used to eating that much, or drinking that much, even after only a month of being healthy....so yes, good lesson there. onwards to more weight-loss!

how's everybody doin'?

You are doing so well D2D!!

I had another bad week and put 12oz on :( . But I did have a lovely lunch out Friday and a fantastic Turkish feast on Sat night. I was doing fine til then.

Still fresh start this week - ever optimistic!!

Damn Super Bowl parties!!! Wiped out a good week. Still at 8 but still on the diet

I'm holding to the three pounds I lost a week ago. I haven't been able to exercise all week though because I've been ill. I'm just managing to get my work done and sleeping like a sick, wheezing, coughing thing in between... :oops:

i'll tellya, honestly...when i stepped on the scale this morning, i was so relieved i only regained a pound! (i had regained 1/2 a pound sunday) i truly thought the numbers this AM would be really ugly, so yes....i am thrilled i maintained my 10 pound loss. sure, i destroyed the last week's progress i made, but c'est la vie eh? my gawd those nachos were awesome....and the wings....and the wine. tho as i said, not so great this morning, so in a way helps me see how much better i feel when i don't over-indulge.

i want to be extra good this week b/c Vday is this coming weekend, and yes....we're going out and i plan to enjoy! however, i also want to make some forward progess, especially since none carried forward from last week, i really would like to hit my monthly goal, or at the very least close to it. it's a shorter month too so have to be ever vigilant.


BD you lost another pound!
good for you!

I broke the 200 barrier!!!!!!!!!!

Man I am sure it will last only an hour or two but seeing a 1 in front of the results was very satisfying

kudos to you - well done!




still holding steady, 10 pounds down. still trying to stay focused on being happy about it. i mean, not bad for 4 weeks, just looking forward to more progress now that i'm in week 5.

10 pounds is amazing and keeping it off is the real battle

yea, but it's been a week already - time for more forward progress!
damn sunday....

i've got a lot more to go and sure, can't rush it.....but i would really like to keep up the momentum, 2 pounds a week. don't think i'll be able to reach my 2nd goal by march 1st, but that's ok. i just want to keep up the 2 pounds/week loss. granted, i didn't lose it like that exactly, but that's how it averages out, overall....well a bit more, an extra 2 pounds gone....so no complaints there.

Vday looms this weekend too! i plan on being good, good, good.....and evn Vday don't plan for anything crazy, food-wise anyway .....but none the less, still will be indulgent some, so i don't want to move backwards, and really...i want some forward progress AND to maintain it. that would be the best Vday gift.

well, start of a new week and......i'm up a half pound. :?
damn valentine's day. haha. it was sooooooo good tho.
so yea, still down....9.5 pounds. thus far, february hasn't been much progress. also taking next week off which could be dangerous, but i'm going to remain hopeful. i WILL reach my weight-loss and health goals.


hope all are doing well!

Claireack

well, back on track!
10.5 pounds down total. even with vacation next week, going to be diligent in following my healthy eating plan with a few extra indulgences. obviously no way i am going to reach my february goal this month, but that's ok....as long as i make forward progress, i am happy. so if i can hit a 5 pound loss for february, i will be totally thrilled!

decides2dream

yay, yay, yay!
12 pounds down!
:thumbup:


not quite where i wanted to be by now, but forward progress so i am quite happy....and hopefully can hit the 15 pound mark by march 1st.....so a total down of 5 this month! next week is staycation, but i am going to do my BEST to balance healthy eating and enjoyment.


hubby made spectacular chicken fajitas last night with onions, red peppers, jalapenos and fresh guacamole on whole wheat tortillas.....delicious! we have been eating soooo well, and definitely saving some serious $$$ too! win-win!





edit - actually, was just thinking...i said as my initial goal that i wanted to lose 2 pounds a week. i started my healthy eating plan 01.10, so really.....i am right on target! i'm in the midst of week 6 right now, so while i had bigger progress when i first started, still averages out to 2 a week, so yea.....it's all good!
