Okay, I made it...come on gang!  Let's get rolling on the NEW boards!!

Had a 3.0 pound weight loss for my first week w/Jillian Michaels.  The muscle aches of the first few days have subsided, but I am aware that I am working out "differently".  Those first few days with my calf muscles were pure misery.  But I kept walking at lunch and they eventually loosened up.  For 2 days I could not stand straight up out of a chair, and by wearing heels to work I was exascerbating the problem.  But I'm all better now!  Shoulders are a little tender as I type, but they got a pretty good work out this morning!

Okay, Week 1 Stats

I am posting the weekly average of my last 7 days - just for my information, and not to bore you guys to death.  Wait, you haven't found this spot yet, so I'm not boring anybody! LOL

Water:  82 ounces - 18 ounces below Average Daily Allowance (ADA) ~~
Calories:  1744 - 94 calories above ADA  :) well within 100+/-!
Protein:  103 grams - 21 grams below ADA ~~
Carbs:  198 grams - 33 grams above ADA  :(
Fats:  60 grams - 5 grams above ADA   woo hoo!

Exercise:  70 minutes per day - ADA goal EXCEEDED!  :)
Weight:  194.4 - 49.4 pounds over goal of 145 - NOTICE THE 50 HAS BEEN BROKEN!!

Cannot wait for Week 2!

Be JOYFUL,

Sandy
DON'T ACCEPT COMPLACENCY (feeling of quiet pleasure while unaware of potential danger)

I'm not sure what I did but all of the sudden I am able to post a reply.  This new board is confusing to me but I will figure it out.  I'm thinking this reply will just be to Celeste.  Congratulations on getting under 200 lbs!!  I wish I could say the same but I have over 80 lbs to go to even get to 200.  I'm hanging in there.  I have to go.  I am at work and duty calls.  See you in the funny papers.

Sandy, if this board works the way my on-line college board worked you can reply to an individual (quick reply--everyone will still be able to read it) or you can address the group with a new post.  Your weekly stats look good and way to go with that 3 lb. weight loss.  I'm glad you stuck with the exercise long enough to work all the kinks out of your muscles.  I hope everyone else will follow your directions and find their way here.

I WILL NO LONGER BE COMPLACENT!  I WILL BE PRO-ACTIVE ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT.

My car is sick in hospital for a lung (turbocharger) transplant. I have been for a week riding everywhere on a brand new recumbent tricycle. And I'm losing weight fast!

Hello, JoWL Friends. I think I will like this site after all. I like playing with the different fonts and colors.:)

Here are my stats for the past 2 days.

Oct. 15, 2007

Fluids: 82 oz--18 oz under goal
Calories: 1521--within goal
Fat: 80 gm--43 gm over goal
Carbs: 137 gm--88 gm under goal
Fiber: 8 gm--17 gm under goal
Protein: 65 gm--10 gm under goal

Oct. 16, 2007

Fluids: 63 oz--37 oz under goal
Calories: 1936--236 over goal:eek:
Fat: 102 gm--69 gm over goal:(
Carbs: 176 gm--49 gm under goal
Fiber: 19 gm--only 6 gm under goal, I'm improving:)
Protein: 83 gm--12 gm under goal

Well, I think I may have to re-evaluate my %'s. I read in a health magazine that 30% of calories should be fat (it did specify GOOD fat). The RDA for protein is 50 gms. The RDA for fiber is 30 gms. I am going to take a look at the food pyramid and figure what the healthy %'s of each food group will be. Sandy's new system is working for her so I hope to follow the leader.
