Comment on 2 Week Update by Bobbi K.

I started my diet today. After weighing myself and somehow not screaming in horror, I am more than ready to get this weight off.

Any loss is a good loss. Just make up for it this week in some way.

I’m still trying to get motivated to begin.

Four pounds is a great start.

Again, congratulations on losing 4lbs! Many people I work with don’t lose that much in the initial stages of their weight loss programmes – steady loss is healthy and more likely to stay ‘lost’ in the long term, so don’t be hard on yourself. If you’re feeling tired, have a look at how much protein you’re consuming. Most women require between 70g & 90g each day but very few of us actually meet that goal without assistance. If you can do it, it will help your energy levels enormously. Keep it up, you’re doing great! (Love your blog, too.. )

Congrats on losing 4lbs already! That is pretty sweet. Staying motivated is so hard – I went and got a latte today because it was “happy hour” even though I could have just made some tea at home. That reminds me: since you are having trouble kicking pop and need a caffeine kick in the mornings you could try green tea instead. This article has some good reasons to switch to tea: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/391674787/why-tea-is-healthier-than-water

Basically – to stay motivated I have been going to yoga classes! The instructor helps me refocus and give lots of support for healthy living. Reading your blog also helps!

You rock! I look forward to your updates. I’m trying the whole lose weight-and-be healthy thing myself, and frankly it’s gratifying to know someone else is suffering right along with me. ;-)

I love fresh spinach. I usually add a few walnuts and some dried cranberries with a vinagrette (usually Newmans Own Basalmic). Simple but delish!

Bobbi … to be honest, I stole the idea from someone I follow on Twitter.

I think we need to form a support group for all of the bloggers trying to get healthy. I’d suggest a site ring, but didn’t they go out of style a long time ago. LOL

What a wonderful idea. I know I’ve been thinking about getting fit and losing weight for awhile, so I may just “steal” this idea from you. It may be a motivator.

I’ll have to look for that app and download it. I did look around for some apps the other day, but didn’t download anything. As for the Nike app, no I haven’t tried it.

And I know all about those obsessions. I’ve got a couple cans of Pringles in the pantry that have been taunting me. Not to mention all the baked goodies from Christmas in the freezer. But I’m gonna take some of those to work on Monday.

Woo hoo! This is a good idea! Have you downloaded “Lose it” for your iTouch yet? You should! It has some cool features – I just wish it would sync to some kind of desktop app. I am thinking about getting the Nike shoe thingy that goes with the program that came with the itouch… Have you used it? Can’t get fit without getting geeky!

I really wish I wasn’t obsessing about a bowl of cocoa pebbles right now…. must….resist….
