Confession: I went over on my calories today. I have a few regrets *glares at empty Sour Cream & Onion potato chip bag* but I vow to do better.
It's Sunday! A new week! I can do this! I will reach 175 by the end of October. Totally an achievable goal if I stick to my guns.0 -
Confession: It's MIDNIGHT!
I've been waiting to dig into this stir fry for about 6 hours....My dad made it and it smelled like HEAVEN so I traded my salad in for the beef stir fry on rice. It might not fit into my calorie goals but I'm gonna MAKE IT FIT!

Good dog, Tessa. Way to motivate your owner!!!
I think I love Tessa. What a cutie.0 -
*post date update*
First date #16
Taking a page from @nonoelmo - a really nice guy, just not for me. Oh and he initially he told me he had one kid that was 24, but actually had two and the other is 13...not cool.
So....bleh
I like that you follow your instincts. I like that you realize that "nice" does not mean you have to go on another date if you don't want to go on another date.
I would be bothered that there was a lie, even if it was by omission or careful wording. Integrity and truthfulness / transparency are important to me. One man I actually liked casually mentioned on the 4th date that he'd been married twice/divorced twice, not the once his profile said. When I expressed surprise he gave me his story . His integrity (or lack of integrity) didn't impress me. He lied in his profile.0 -
Weight room update.
Daughter joined me in the weight room today. She was a mini-me (and she is a brunet mini me) and did everything that I did. The weight room was just right tonight. There was a BEAUTIFUL early 20's woman going to town on the weights and a fairly attractive guy about the same age working out too. I don't know if they were together or not, I assumed they were. However I noticed daughter take note of pretty woman working out hard on the weights. It makes it seem more acceptable to daughter to see a vibrant young woman hitting the weights hard, but not bulky (daughter worries about that).

Thank you! She's well trained too! My sister did a good job with both our dogs (RIP Sandi) and trained them from day one to be very well behaved.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »lilaclovebird wrote: »Couldn't figure out how to get to the discussions (specifically pet pics) in the group on my phone so here is Tessa after our 40-ish minute walk.

Ugly confession in the Batcave. Not feeling so great. I'm going to go eat popcorn.0

My allergies are giving me an excuse to be lazy in working out and I want to reach 179 lbs SO BAD! I want to order my FITBIT!
Today is the day. I swear, I will stay within my calories and get one 20 minute workout/walk/lift session in today if it darn near kills me!
I ignored my allergies, hiked 2 hours and 15 minutes 1400 feet up a mountain from where I started. Ate lunch, took an hour to rest and hiked back down in an hour and 45 minutes. My profile photo is from the top.
Don't let you allergies stop you from teaching your goals.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins awesome NSV and way to tell your allergies you're the boss!0 -

You got this! When you reach your goal which Fitbit do you want? I confess I had a few bad days with ice cream & even though I know better I only ate a little amount on Friday & tried the do the same Saturday to make up for it. I didn't binge yesterday, but I talked myself into eating a normal amount & getting back to the program.0 -

This is great and so good for young girls to have positive role models!0 -

Woohoo! Leaving early today too!
I'm sad. They let us know we aren't getting out early today. Oh well!
We won't be either. I'll be here until the bitter end (4:30). Only 4.5 hours to go!
Ugh sorry! I'm here until 4 then I have to drive in rush hour traffic (hopefully a lot of people get out earlier today so traffic isn't too bad...) to go let my boyfriend's brother's dog out since no one is home to take care of it this weekend. Poor dog!
Oh at least here I wasn't expecting to get out early since we didn't last year. It was just me hoping for an early release. :-P So at least I wasn't TOO disappointed.
I got out early but then traffic was terrible and didn't get to run any errands before getting the kids. Not a win.
Bummer!0 -

I *do* exercise for two-four hours a day (90% light, 10% intense), and I make a point of walking everywhere within three miles, and I ALWAYS take stairs, so maybe this off set the weight gain.

How much do you have to lose? What do you do when you exercise two hours?
Be careful with exercising too much, because it can weaken your immune system (I just got over a bad sinus infection from exercising way too much).

With how much exercise you said you do eating a few desserts will not hinder your progress so don't get in the habit of beating yourself because it's not worth the misery.
@kellyjellybellyjelly Sorry for the late reply! I forgot to check back on this thread. At that time, I had over 50 to lose, and now I have about 20 more to go. I usually do a 20-60 minute workout video from YouTube followed by brisk walking.
Thanks for the warning! I did not know that. Yeah. You're right. I guess not beating myself up is something I need to work on.

@MelissaPhippsFeagins Thank you for the advice. I'll try to not feel guilty about such things in the future.MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »On the second week of my lifestyle change, I went over to a friend's house for a sleepover, and I had a tall piece of cake with lots of frosting on each day that I stayed there.

+1 cake is a pleasure occasionally. (I say this as someone who makes her own because of celiac.) As often as you exercise, two pieces of cake are nothing to feel guilty about.0 -

@neldabg It's something we ALL need to work on. I think that's why this thread does so well. We get the forgiveness from others and that makes us feel 'allowed' to give it to ourselves.0 -

Going to go to the gym and figure out what exactly I'm going to do there. I want to lift heavy things eventually but since I think I'm going to be the only one there at 6 am (even the attendant doesn't start that early) I'll have to be careful. So I think I'll ease into that. I'm going to see what kind of machines I can use today.
Make sure someone teaches typy how to lift heavy things before you start. Poor form can really cause injury.
My nephew is going to come with me 2 weeks from now. He's going to be my trainer. They had a trainer come and show them proper form and now he's going to show me.0 -

Good on ya @kellyjellybellyjelly!
I wish I could say I held back on ice cream but I ate 4 servings in one setting. "It was Blue Bell and I couldn't help it" excuse just isn't really working for me.
I have no idea which Fitbit I want. I'm leaning towards the Charge no HRM because I don't feel it necessary. We'll have to wait and see though.

That is true. And for that, I'm glad for MFP and this thread. ^_^lilaclovebird wrote: »kellyjellybellyjelly wrote: »On the second week of my lifestyle change, I went over to a friend's house for a sleepover, and I had a tall piece of cake with lots of frosting on each day that I stayed there.
