    Looks like it was a fantastic week for a lot of you! Awesome!! :happy:

    I've been hovering around 193 all week and then last night between 11pm and 2am (I'm off work today) I ate half of a 12" pizza while I was watching the Gamecock football game I DVRed so I'm pretty sure I'm not missing out on being a biggest loser contender or anything. :laugh: During the game while I was shoving pizza into my face, dh shared that he used to date a girl who was cheerleader for Southern Miss (he went to high school in Mississippi). :noway: How was he ever attracted to me, exactly? I weighed about 225 when we got together.

    September 8th marks my anniversary with MFP and a healthier lifestyle. I'm beginning to feel some extra motivation to get back into a more consistent exercise routine. :smile:

    just got back from spin class it was awesome. This girl was good, not easy , but i enjoyed it...burned 566 cals probably close to the highest i burned in a spin class..

    Gues that is good since my sonic had put me way over my cals...Looks like i will end up 5 over exercise cals unless i want another snack tonight.

    Deb - I am sorry you had a rough week with your little girl. I am praying that this three-day weekend will help refocus Serena.
    Jess - I know when I stopped stressing about the scale I started losing. *shrug*

    I think my *situation* at work has evened itself out and I think I am OK. Thank you for the prayers! I went out to celebrate with my teacher colleagues and I drank pints (plural) of good belgium beer and ate lots of pizza and even a piece of coconut cake. Yes, I ate it ALL and I am NOT feeling guilty at all!!! But that could be because I am drunk, not sure. LOL Anyhoo...... I had a wonderful time and I deserved it after this week from the utter hell of false accusations and job endangerment!!!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

    Wow - I've read everything but as far as a decent response to everyone - my mind's a blank, it's all melded into one........

    Some people had a disappointing weigh in - :heart: :heart: :heart: - Hang in there, that was me the past 2 weeks, I was doing everything right and sticking to 1200 etc or less after exercise and I stayed the same or gained. So this week, eating more, I lost 2.2lbs. I was scared to death - how would I lose eating 1300-1600 net when I gained at 1200 ???!!!???? well I suppose my body just needed more. Who knows what next week will bring. I hope that helps raise your spirits, I know I was really in a funk after my gain last week.
    It's so weird how these things work - I've lost only 7lbs in 3months and 2.2 of those were in the last week ?!?!?:huh: :huh:


    CoGirl & Blue - tough times this week - stay strong sistas! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Cris - you OK? One step at a time....want to try my Martha Stewart 4 day jump start diet? It's what I did when I first dedicated myself to getting healthy back in January. 4 days of fresh juices or smoothies for breakfast and dinner, a real (lean protein based) meal for lunch and snacking on berries if starving hungry. It's lower cal that I would ever go for more than 4 days but I was a great way to focus on healthy living and it gives your body a break as the items consumed are very easy to digest. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Ok so I was late with my weigh in but it was from yesterday morning, I just wasn't able to get on here yesterday. I am very frustrated. I ate at a deficit this week. I may have gone over my calorie goal but I was at a deficit for my maintenance so I should have been down something. I don't know I was insanely hungry the last 2 or 3 days so maybe my body was saying "hello! feed me...." and I wasn't so maybe it was holding on to stuff. I have no idea. I think I'm to soon into this to have a screwed up metabolism. And in turn I over ate yesterday. Total day of BS. In regards to eating. I ate fast food all day long. I was in the car the whole day and there was no way I could have taken food with me.

    I am so tired here at work. I hate working holiday weekends. Stupid people are out in excess. I really want to take a nap right now and I'm hoping I can when I get home from work. I need it. Hope everyone is having a blast on their holiday weekends!

    Not to be critical.... this is just fact!!! All man have the same basic gene,just like woman are basically the same.
    If you give the milk,why would a man want to get married??? Men need 2 basic things food & sex. Thats fact. Women are emotional beings and base most decisions on feelings[there are the exceptions]. We are not the same in any way,so be willing to leave if he chooses not to marry you! Next time don't let boyfriend move in till he marrys you!!!!! Just the facts......Goal to lose 60lbs by 12-2011...

    LOL my milk is all good!!

    sooooo....I've figured out WHY I was up yesterday. AND why I was so hungry wednesday and thursday. TOM just came back :cry: It's my first one in 19.5 months. I don't mean to be greedy but really wanted to make it to 24 months :laugh:

    Lol @ that dude's post!!!

    Had an awesome morning run at my parents' house and they're unbelievably supportive of my lifestyle changes and weight loss. I'm so lucky - mom is asking what I can eat and making great low-cal, low-fat meals for me.

    So it seems I'm this week's winner - I challenge everyone to get at least 20 grams of fiber daily. If your recommended amount is less, then meet your minimum. Sound good?

    HA! This guy is hilarious.

    As it turns out, not all men are driven purely by the penis, darlin'. I slept with my husband quite regularly for about 4 years before we got married (GASP!).

    Purple, sounds like a good challenge. I need to keep track of fiber. Thanks. :drinker:

    I think that man's post dropped from cyberspace & landed in our thread. :laugh:

    Now that I am sober, I must say I am still not feeling a bit of guilt for having indulged in my favorites last night. This is a HUGE step for me, sisters! I am not beating myself up! I acted like a normal person and I do not feel shame! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Good for you!!! There's no point in feeling bad about enjoying some of your favorite food because that's what's always caused me to stop eating right before, the mentality that "oh, I at some pizza so I've ruined my diet...might as well have some cake". Changing the thinking has really helped me.

    Checking in for today -

    Cals: 516 under (and I tried so freaking hard today to eat my cals)
    Water: 10 - 11 cups
    Sodium: 84 over :grumble:
    Exercise: week 4, day 2 of couch to 5k
    Fiber: 21 out of 21 so challenge met
    Proud: I had pound cake for dessert. It was delicious and I'm not really stressing out about it at all. Also, I won two games of cards against my parents.


    Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

    So my first TOM is throwing me for a loop. It seems it is making me ravenous. I am hungry all the time and not satisfied by anything! Funny thing is I'm not freaking out by this. I am not usually like this. There are times, yes, when I have cravings and eat more, but as a rule I don't need to over-indulge at TOM. So I will take it day by day and if I feel I need to eat, I will, because I seriously felt like I was going crazy with hunger! TOM will end and so will the ravenous hunger. And whatever I gain I'll take back off, because likely most of it will be water weight. I am going to try and make the best decisions I can.

    Check in for 9.4
    Calories: well I was over by 23 then DH came home from work and wanted to go to the buffet for dinner. I said yes and I am pretty sure I blew my calories out of the water
    Sodium: see above
    Water: Not enough maybe 7 glasses
    Proud: that I'm not insanely guilty over my wonky body.

    check in:
    cals: under a bit
    water: 100
    exercise: 30 mins walk, 30 mins elliptical plus arm work
    proud: I actually climbed a few hills on my walk! Like I actually climbed on grass! LOL Haven't done that in over ten years!

    According to the scale this morning, I've gained 3 pounds since Friday. Given that I worked out Saturday (ran 16 minutes, walked 16) and ate very well all weekend (maybe excluding the eggs benedict I had yesterday for brunch, but I didn't have much dinner to compensate...) I'm hoping that it's just some water weight.

    But, regardless, it's a bummer because I did everything right this weekend.

    LOL at that guy...hubby moved really like within 3 months of us meeting...he got the milk and the cow ...i guess :smile:

    Yesterday i was real down about my eating ...wanted to eat everything bad for me..my weight was still up some..and just was in a crappy mode. Ended up eating like 500 over cals and no exercise, guess still in mainteneance mode, but just not good attitude..

    may have been of the mega sodium i had from sonic on friday and chicfila on saturday (went for the full thing, chicken nuggets with frieds and bbq sauce and ice cream) along with abby was up every hour on sat night...i was very cranky and tired yesterday.

    Last night i slept all night, abby didn't get up till 6:30 (much better than 5 something as normal).

    i am .2 lbs away from what i was 2 weeks ago...tht made me feel better...so I hopefully i can get a few lbs off this week and hit the 240's by friday.

    Good morning ladies. Glad to see everybody is having a good weekend.

    Blue-That is a big step for you to not feel guilty about indulging sometimes. Great job.

    Deb-Glad you got some sleep and hopefully Abby is feeling better. I'm sure your weight is the sodium.

    Purple-Hope you are feeling better. Don't let the number on the scale get you down.

    I haven't tracked my calories since Thursday or Friday when I made my revelation that I needed to back off a little bit and settle down. So. I haven't been tracking but I have been paying attention to what I eat. I've drank beer and had buffalo wild wings. Just nothing out of control. Except Friday. I got outta control drinking. And I did it for the wrong reasons. Because I was beyond P-O'ed...at a dude. GR! Anyway. My weight last night when I got home was 210..wth!? Burt sadly this morning it was back to 211.2. So no gain and I'm perfectly okay with that. I'm sure once I get sodium flushed out I should see a loss...cause I know I'm bloated. Have a great labor day everybody!

    :smokin: OK sisters - big news! :smokin:

    I sat in a pool recliner lounge chair - one of those really low ones! :noway: I haven't sat in one of those in over ten years! I just decided to try it since I knew I had my friends there in case I broke the damn thing! LOL I didn't break it! I sat down perfectly and laid out in the sun! I even got up and went in the pool and then got back in it again a few times! This is HUGE for me! Yay me!!! I felt like a normal person! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: What a great day. :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

    Congrats!!! Sometimes it's the little things that keep us motivated.

    Check-in for today:

    Cals - 167 under
    Water - 7 cups
    Sodium - 138 under
    Fiber - 18 grams (I just failed my own challenge....sigh)
    Exercise - week 4 day 3 of C25K (16 minutes running, 16 walking) plus a 1.5 mile walk downtown this evening
    Proud - I got through week 4! I can't believe I did it 3 times.

    Trying to be okay with this morning's weigh-in, but struggling. I'm thinking (hoping?) that it's a combo of water weight and some other stuff and not legit weight gain. Fingers crossed.

    Nancy -- I'm so happy for you! :happy:

    Um, yeah, so I kind of lost my effing mind this weekend. It wouldn't have been so bad except dh talked me into making cookies. Yeah, the entire batch of them was gone within 24 hours. The entire weekend was so bad that finally last night hubs was like "We HAVE to eat something healthy for dinner." :laugh: I wholeheartedly agreed. I felt like I was dying inside at that point. :tongue:

    The good that came of it is I feel a big sense of renewed motivation. Tomorrow is my anniversary with MFP. Although I'm happy about being an expert at maintaining this new weight I'm done with it. I didn't set out to lose 75-80 pounds, I set out to lose 120+.

    Julie- first of all Happy anniversary with MFP...and you will get past this mark and start shedding lbs again, i know it.

    We made cupcakes ...i stared at them all weekend...they looked yummy but i didn't have one..i figured the cals to be like 300 per each..oh my...Still went over my cals everyday without them, as i didn't go to the gym since friday night.

    But back on track today, i am off call today...wooohooo...

    was pretty stoked this morning too, i saw my lowest weight at 250.9 (and that was with mega sodium fajitas last night) I am soo close to 240ville i can taste it :smile: I really do not remember the last time i was in the 240's ..i am sure it was in the last 10 years but actually remembering i am lost...

    Blue-Wow that is soooo freaking awesome!! Congrats!!

    Julie-Happy 1 year with MFP! And yay for the new found motivation.

    Deb-Way to go on the lowest weight!! Your doing amazing. And great job resisting the cupcakes.

    Well my morning has started off not so good. I had a melt down when I got to work. I've been struggling with getting to work on time ever since I moved, when I don't go to the gym in the mornings. I was at that wedding late last night so I was gonna workout tonight. Woke up and guess what? It's raining. When it rains it generally takes me about an hour and a half to get to work so I rushed to shower and didn't do my hair or my makeup and ran out the door. Was STILL late. Didn't get here till almost 8:40 when I have to be here at 8:30. Text my manager and told him and he replied "You need to try harder to get here on time this is getting excessive" and I lost it. I walked into the door bawling telling him I wanted to transfer to a closer location because I couldn't handle this anymore. I feel terrible when I'm late. I'm a punctual person. So we talked and he said to try and shoot for 8:45 to come in. I'm usually only 5-10 minutes late, max. It's just so difficult with all this Dallas traffic. UGH! Rant over. I hope my day picks up from here.

    Didn't have a great weekend !! My 3 year old had to have stitches in her head because she got hit in the head with a metal bat at my family reunion. She got hit in the forehead!! Blood everywhere!! Even got her cousin that hit her! It was an accident but I didn't like the fact that my sister made the comment that she was really hoping it was my 5 year old that hit her instead of her 9 year old daughter.That made me mad!!Then my Aunt makes the comment oh you better watch her tonight because you remember that actress that had the skiing accident and then 2 days later she died.I was thinking to myself how insensitive!! I mean I do know to watch my child throughout the night after a head injury!! The doctor couldn't believe she was only 3 because she let him sow it right up.She jerked a few times while they were numbing and they didn't get it numb all the way and she told the doc she felt the last stitch going in and he told her he was sorry and she said" thats ok I forgive you" I thought to myself how sweet of a baby I have!!Bless her heart!I was probably the dirtiest person in the ER because I was covered in blood and mud.When it happened I was cleaning it and wrapping it up and quickly as I could.The funny thing is there was so many doctors and nurses at my family reunion but I was the one taking action and trying to stop the bleeding I suppose it was my mommy instinct.My cousin told me she couldn't believe how calm I was but in reality I was a mess driving to the ER!!! I had her sisters keep her awake because she kept saying she was sleepy.Oh and mind you forget people being considerate about letting you around when you have hazard lights on cause NO ONE GIVES A DAMN if there is an emergency!! My husband jumps out of the car in traffic and stops a state trooper to let us through lol. So I didn't eat to awful this weekend but I feel like I did.High sodium for sure so I am retaining some.Sorry to ramble but I wanted to get that vent off my chest!!

    Thanks Jess! She seems to be just fine!! I am taking her to the family physician tomorrow to make sure they aren't infected ,which I know they aren't but better safe than sorry.In fact when we got back to the reunion 4 hours later she started playing again with her cousins like nothing happened.She is one tough little girl!

    ann - sorry to hear about your little one...My 7 year old when she was 5 fell out of her bed knocked her head on the night stand and had to have like 5 staples in her head, i was too amazed how good she was with her doing them.

    I can't belive people were so insensitive...

    I am glad she is feeling better.
