So I've been walking for awhile now and for some reason, I'm having a hard time reaching 5000 steps, let alone 10,000 steps to lose weight. I average bout 2700 steps. That even includes me doing exercises whether it's the 30 Day Shred, EAsports Active, etc. I've tried to include a couple of extra 15 mins walk to help bring the numbers up. I'm assuming I'm not moving as fast as I thought I was. I can't wait for warmer weather to get back to walking on the track and maybe finding out exactly how long it takes me to walk around the track 4 times which I believe equals. 1 mile. But what can I do in the meantime? I could try the treadmill but at my parents' house, the basement is filled with so many boxes since they moved in here bout 10 yrs ago! I couldn't fit through to get to the treadmill. :( I can't afford to go to a gym and I don't know what to do! I'm still gonna keep on a moving on and just do as much as I can do. As long as I keep moving, that's a good thing, right?
I've started Weight Watchers Online officially on Saturday and so far, it's been hard trying to eat 39 points but I'm working on it. I knew I needed to eat more calories in order to lose weight along with the exercising. I was curious bout what my weight was today since I started on Saturday. I was 326.8 on Saturday and today I ended up weighing 327.2! Sighs. I know it's too soon to tell. I do have 5 more days to actually know what happens since starting Weight Watchers. I will be sure to let y'all know what's happening with that. :)
I've been drinking so much water! I can't even believe how much water I've been drinking since I got the water pitcher. lol. My problem is I don't seem to be going to the bathroom like I hear all these people go. Is there something wrong with me? Could it be why I ended up with the weight gain? Cuz I'm not going to the bathroom enough? I don't know what to do and yes, I am taking diuretic (sp?) in one of my blood pressure meds. The only time I ever go to the bathroom is if I drink a lot of diet mountain dew. What's up with that? Is there something I can do bout that??

I wish I could tell ya but you may want to look at your doctor about that. Just remember 'baby steps'. I think you're doing good about moving. Keep us posted on weight watchers. I wish you the best!!
ReplyDeleteHey darlin, remember that the scales aren't the only way to measure success. One week I gained 2 pounds but lost an inch and a half. I urge you to start measuring, too. Good luck with Weight Watchers!! You keep moving, and remember that we are all here for you.
ReplyDeleteKeep drinking the water, some people have larger bladders so don't be concerned with how much other folks are going potty. Also, do you have the option of a mall open before hours for walkers while the weather is bunk? Good luck to you and keep on moving :)
ReplyDeleteKeep drinking the water, it's good for you! Good job w/the walking. It will be easier when it gets a little warmer!
ReplyDeleteIf you weight over 300 lbs. you don't need to start off at 10,000 steps. You are being too hard on yourself. I would shoot for a reasonable goal and then add about 10% every week. Keep things simple. And don't worry about the peeing. Some pee more than others. Just make sure you are drinking water to replace all soda. XXOO
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting started with WW! I know SO many people who have had success with their program. And yes, just move it, move it! More moving is a great baby step.
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is the same way with the water. Every time he makes a concerted effort to drink more water, it takes about 5 days for his bladder to kick in and pee it out. But don't hesitate to ask your dr. about it if you're concerned.
Keep up the good work! You can do it!
Keep up the walking, as long as you can every day, results are guaranteed!
