Weight Loss for Bags - Anyone want to do it with me

Bag&ShoeLover · Jun 29th, 2008, 03:17 PM

I need to lose some weight. I want to be at 198 by Christmas. It is 100% possible with motivation and hard work.

So I decided today that I will buy myself a faboulous gift when I get there. So I am losing weight for a bag!

Here is the bag:

Or this:

I started this morning. Watching what I eat and walking my butt off!

Anyone want to join me?

Food intake for today so far:

banana
watermelon
Small serving of leftover spaghetti and small slice of Garlic Bread.

Good luck!

I'll join you! Except mines for clothes. My friend & I decided we aren't buying ourselves any new clothes (except necessities) until we reach our targets.

I would love to do this too! Like omgblonde, I think I'll reward myself with clothes instead! No wait, I want a bag too! lol :)

I would love to do this too! Maybe not for bags, for me its more like makeup ;p
My goal is to lose 20 lbs. I went to the doctor recently and was devestated at what the scale showed! I am determined to lose weight, because I cant stand not feeling happy with myself, and being depressed about not being able to feel comftorable in my own body. I've already got my "regime" that I am going to do everyday, excercise, calorie intake, and Im going to make a journal about all my progress. I think that it will really help me out to keep a log

Good Luck to all you girls!

Bag&ShoeLover · Jun 30th, 2008, 12:49 AM

Yeah! So happy to have some others join me. I need to figure out my calorie intake. I use Sparkpeople.com to do that.

I walked 2 miles to work. Took me 45 min. I also brought food with me. Turkey Sandwich, watermelon and I bought some Fiber One bars and string cheese. The carmel ones are to die for. I also like the chocolate ones. These totally can replace a candy bar for me.

I am off tomorrow but will walk at least 30 min. I do plan on walking to work every time I work and home on the days I do not close.

All night I kept thinking purple bag!

Count me in! I need to lose about 8kg and then my SO will reward me with a birkin!!! I wish i can can kick those craving and temptations away!

Bag&ShoeLover · Jun 30th, 2008, 11:42 AM

Good Morning!

I have already gotten in a 30 min walk. Interesting how something has been weighing heavily on my mind. I am in a relationship that I think needs to go. I have been praying on what to do. As soon as I turned on my MP3 Player...Hold On by Wilson Phillips comes on. So gave me some food for thought as I was walking. Still not sure what I am going to do but for now I am going to just focus on me.

Breakfast:
Special Chocolate K 120 calories
1/2 cup 2% milk

waited till I was getting a little hungry to eat.

Now off to shower and do the things on my list.

Hope everyone has a great day.

lovinalotofbags · Jun 30th, 2008, 01:01 PM

I am all in. So far since February 13.5 lbs lost. Would like to be close to 150 by September which is my B-day and I will buy clothes. I do Weight Watchers points and since I do not have a gym close to where I live, I have to force myself to do Denise Austin or one of my exercise tapes and work outside doing physical labor.

momo43 · Jun 30th, 2008, 01:45 PM

ooo! i would like to join! i recently started working and have fallen out of my exercise routine. I would like to lose about 15 pounds by my birthday next January. To reward myself, I will get a new bag...what kind I'm not sure.

Food today:
Breakfast
Medium nonfat cafe latte
1/2 asian cream pastry
^bad, i know

Exercise...
nothing yet...but afterwork, I plan on doing a jog around the park.

momo43 · Jun 30th, 2008, 01:47 PM

Thanks to the OP!

Bag&ShoeLover · Jun 30th, 2008, 02:22 PM

Welcome to all the new people. Not sure why I can't edit my post from this morning. But I wanted to add....

2 slices of wheat bread
Turkey
tiny mayo
string cheese for lunch

Carrying a waterbottle every where I go around the house.

gypsumrose · Jun 30th, 2008, 02:48 PM

I'm in! I tracked food / calories / exercise on thedailyplate.com until recently. I've lost 15 lbs since January but I'm pretty lax about it now. I'm back in! I have 35 lbs to go! The bag I had reserved for my weight loss goal is stupid cheap now ($100ish). Before I was thinking that I'd reward myself with it b/c I wouldn't otherwise spend that much on a bag. My goals are one of the two now: (and on my wishlist!)
