Congrats on all the pounds lost everyone...
Ive had a rough day eating.. bleh..
BUT... instead of wallowing in it.. I went for a WALK/RUN... I RAN 10 MINUTES total.. Whoop Whoop.. Not all at once.. in 90 second intervals.. A good accomplishment for me..
My Challenge for myself this week is to walk/run ATLEAST 3 times this week.. I got 1 time in..0 -
Check out everyone - all I see is success surrounding me! And I consider maintaining success - because that means you're not gaining and means you're doing things right!
My cousin posted a picture on her Facebook that I thought would be good in here:
We have to remember that when our outlook and personalities get taken over by negativity that it only hurts us. Being positive about our journey and the progress we've made is so important. So love bunnies, be happy, and be proud of yourselves!0 -
i'm having a hard time getting all of my exercise in this week, but i'm doing good on my food intake, so i'm trying not to beat myself up. does anyone have a trick for hauling yourself out of bed at 4.30am to go to the gym?0

Haha, I have 23lb so you're still beating me! We can do this though! Just gotta keep on truckin'!
Pinky, I couldn't agree more! It's hard to stay positive all the time but it sure helps to have the support of everyone on here!!0 -

I'm out of bed every morning at 4, I feel your pain.
I set my alarm to go off every 5 minutes starting at 3:40 until 4:00. This let's me feel like I'm sleeping in, but helps me get up at 4 by waking me up repetitively. It's also a matter of just dragging yourself from the warm comfort of bed and getting it done. Best of luck!0 -
Is it too late for me to join??????????????????? Hope not, I want in!!!0

Oh joyus weigh-in day.
CW: 191.6
Week 1: 187.4
Week 2: 188.4
Week 3: 188.8
Must continuously remind myself that negativity, wallowing, and emotional eating do not help anything (I was disappointed at the scale this morning, so I had a piece of chocolate cake. ). Take a note from Peter Pan - can't fly without happy thoughts. Negativity will only keep me grounded.0 -
Weigh in for me for this thread, this morning. I started at just over 252 and as of this morning am 248.9. Not only does this mean that I've broken through my plateau, but also that I finally hit my first mini goal and am well on my way to hitting the second for Oct 7. Also, last night I had my hubbie do my measurements and I'm down 18.5 inches overall.0

Glad I came in here and saw this post because I just stepped on the scale and I weighed 167.6 that is .4 from when I started here on MFP back at the end of April I did however fell yesterday and my leg is swollen so I am thining this is a result of the fall that's my positive outlook:bigsmile: and pain or not I will be working out today!!!0 -
We have such a large group and since I been restricted on the amount of time I spend on the comp. I just want you all to know that I am behind each and everyone of you and even though I don't always make it to the boards I am wishing nothing but the best for you. If you want send me a friend request I am better with hitting each of my friends individually then always making it to the thread. Glad to see so many great sucess stories and for those of you that may not be getting in your workouts and not seeing the numbers on the scale today is a new day and your workouts don't have to be long and drawn out if you can squeeze 3 10min sessions in a day that is better than not doing anything because you didn't have 30 solid mins at one time just a thought you can even break it down to 5min intervals who can't spare 5min in a day so let's go!! Hope everyone enjoy the rest of there week!!0
-
I'd like to join! I could really use something like this to kick my bum into gear. My starting weight is 170, and by Halloween I want to be 150.0
-
So, what are everyone's exercise plans for the rest of this week and next week?
I started 30day shred :grumble: :sick: :sad: But I know that being a little sore is a good thing! :drinker: So I may do another day or so of it, I want to start running again, but my wheather is kinda moody right now, one minute it's gorgeous out, next it's down pouring...so hopefully I'll get some running in before the 18th. I have another out of town weekend ahead for my brother in law (Sept 10, he'll be 16), my hubby (Sept 13th, he'll be 26) AND my mother in law (Sept 14th, and I won't say her age because I want to stay on her good side!) so that means birthday foods like cake and bbq but I've never been much of a cake eater so that's not an issue. This weekend shouldn't be nearly as bad sodium-wise as last weekend, but I'll have plenty of water and hopefully I'll get in lots of walking while I'm there, but that's about it for exercise this weekend...walking. Next week, I plan on more walking, including outdoors and Walk Away the Pounds, 5k training at least one more time either Mon ot Tues then no more running til Saturday. I'll probably hit up the pilates to help stretch out a bit.
Congrats on all the weight loss going on!! I'll be back tomorrow for my weigh in.
Also, have you all thought about Halloween costumes yet? I went to a few local shops yesterday and saw some really cute Sailor Pin Up girl ones and a Marine one, however, their 'Large' is just a bit too small for me as of right now, so many I'll buy a medium and stash it for next year
Hubby, Nick, and I also talked about me going as a pimp and he will go as my.. :blushing: err, 'Nicholette' :laugh: I plan on taking pics this year UNLESS the dreaded happens and the party gets cancelled and we don't get to dress up.. :grumble: which IS a possibility 
Anywho, enough rambling for me, have a great day all, be back tomorrow morning.

Fly pinky! Flyyy! Remember the fluff too, that has a role, yes?0 -
Bru - I'm sticking the the elliptical and weights at the gym. Though ultimately I'd like to train myself out of my exercise induced asthma by starting some usage on a treadmill. Probably not for another couple of weeks though.
As far as costumes, mine is already picked out! I'm gonna be a pseudo-pirate! I say pseudo because my colors are green and black, hahah! My corset looks okay on me now, I can't wait to see how it'll look in twenty pounds!0 -
This weeks exercise is definitely about the outdoors. It seems fall has come to Davis, which is my favorite time of year! So I've been riding my bike everywhere for exercise. Getting out and enjoying this beautiful weather we've been having and lots of walking. Going to a football game on Saturday, does cheering enthusiastically count as exercise? Not sure what next week will bring, but since it's cooled off I'm definitely thinking of just continuing to ride my bike everywhere, including work and such.
As for Halloween, I'm still debating on costumes. I know I'm going to be staying home and passing out candy with my roommates. It's her first time living somewhere that actually gets trick-or-treaters so she's super excited. But since I'm not going out I thought about just wearing my Ravenclaw costume again this year. We'll see! Those costumes on Torrid were looking cute. Particularly the Sailor one!
Weigh-in:
Down 1lb this week!! I think I was tracking them wrong before. These are my actual stats since the start.

W1:241.4
W2:238.8

WOW! So much great news in this post! Congrats on being down on the scale, on making your first mini goal, and for loosing a foot and a half of you!!0 -
cnbethea - Good for you for staying enlightened! If you hurt yourself yesterday don't push it too hard today. I love hearing your enthusiasm to keep things on the up and up, but you don't wanna make your injury worse.
Bru - Seeing you (and many others) doing the 30 day shred makes me really intrigued. I started poking around YouTube seeing before/after stuff and wow! The results seem pretty great for anyone doing the program. You've got such strength and willpower that even though you'll be surrounded by Birthday consumables I know you'll stay on track. Pinup sailor sounds ADORABLE! But I'm really getting a kick of you being a pimp. I can just see you with a giant boa-rimmed hat, walking around with a swagger. :laugh:
Emily - I believe I can flyyyyyyyyyy. And yeah, I've decided I'm not going to really use the scale as the total dictator of my weight loss progress. I've got a pair of GAP size 12 jeans that I haven't worn since my bachelorette party in summer 2008. I'm going to use the "jeans don't lie" method and keep trying them on, seeing how they fit. They're fitting better than they had when I started H20. I could wear a flowy top with them and go out in public without being crazy self-conscious. But there's still muffin top action that's no bueno. Soooo yeah. I'll stop rambling now.
Cenedria - Isn't this cooler weather AWESOME! Davis, CA? Are you going to UC Davis? Is it a bike-commuter kind of school? I remember when I was visiting the UC campuses trying to decide where I wanted to go, the UC Santa Barbara campus was TOTALLY commuted by bikes. Like, students didn't walk to class. They rode their bikes...while wearing skirts, backpacks on, talking on their cell, and driving with one hand. I can only imagine how many collisions there are! And you're going to have to dress up no matter what, especially since you're going to have trick-or-treaters!! Have you looked at yandy.com? They've got a section for fluffy bunnies and they have a GREAT and varied selection! Like, they're not about to make you feel guilty for having curves KWIM?
So my turn to answer Bru's question about exercise...uhhhmmm...I just need to get off my azz! I kinda slumped this week and haven't been as good about getting my 30 minutes of cardio in. Planning on wandering around the mall later this afternoon to window shop and sniff the fall-scented candles that are out now. And I also want to take the furbabies for a walk, but we'll see. Tomorrow there will be good walking time logged because we're going to Disney California Adventure. But I've got a feeling we will take up residence at our favorite in-park bar for quite some time. *drooling at the thought of BBQ Chicken Pizza and a caramel appletini*
ETA: OH YEAH my costume...I'm still really liking those butterfly and sexy harlequin get ups I'd posted. I'm really just loving the colors and shiny of the harlequin one, though I really doubt I could wrangle my boobies into that one. The butterfly one is SO cute, and I proposed the idea to the hubby, but he thinks him being a flyswatter wouldn't really work. He'd have to have a butterfly net, or be sticky bug-catching paper or something. Or may end up recycling a costume from years past since I keep 'em all. Still workin' on that one.0 -

Either way, I will post pics when we decide what we're doing. I could totally rock the pimp hat, I just wanna see my hubby dressed like a ho..:laugh: If you are interested in 30day shred, it's like $9 at Walmart, but you can find it fairly cheap on ebay and amazon. I started it, but like I said, OWWWWW, lol, so I may put it on the backburner for a bit. BBQ Chicken Pizza and caramel appltini sounds yummy, I'll be having whatever my in laws grill up tomorrow night. I really like the harlequin one too, can't wait to see what you (and everyone else) wear for Halloween
I WANT PICTURES PEOPLE!! Yes, that means you, and you over there, ohh, and especially you in the back hiding, I see you!! If you dress for Halloween, you better post a pic! :laugh:
**Edited: So, my 5k running partner is feeling better today and we are meeting up in a hour at the local park...she's military and I think she's gonna give me a workout! Kinda nervous about it b/c she's use to it, I'm really not. I'll post tomorrow on how it goes as well as my weight. Later Tators!0 -
Well I was going to post some pictures from last Halloween but Photobucket isn't agreeing with me. Hmmph.0

Happy Friday!0

Happy soggy Friday from Illinois! I weighed in this morning at 204.8 which gives me a 3lb loss so far. I hope once this weekend is over (3birthdays so we're headed out of town) that I can get my exercise on track again for the weekends like I use to, but being out of town in the middle of nowhere for two weekends straight is really not helping.. so on that note, I'm headed to do some pilates and then Walk Away The Pounds with Leslie with the next 2 hours.
Oooh, so I went to the park yeaterday with my military friend who's doing the 5k next weekend with me, we only ran .5mile and walked 5.5miles, didn't run mostly because we were talking and catchinf up on everything, if the rain decides to stop for a bit this afternoon, I plan on running much more, we'll see
Have a wonderful weekend all, see ya in a few days! XoxoxoX Bru0 -
Fitterpam greata job on your weight loss. That must feel great. Congrats and keep up the great work. I am going to try and weigh myself tomorrow. I hope that there is some sort of change. I think there may be. Just gotta see. Great job everyone.
The weather is a little chilly, but it is nice to be out there. I went for a nice hour long walk last night and it was perfect.0 -
Just did my weekly weigh in and am at 256.8 lbs that's down another 3.12lbs and puts me at 13.8/20 down toward the H20 goal. This means I have only 6.8 pounds left to go. Yay!
Today was a good weigh in day for me I really thought that with all of my classes starting up that I would be finding myself at a stand still or even going back up a few. But to have continued my loss is just what I needed to remind myself that even though it's not the easiest thing with being so busy it is worth it to take the extra time and effort.
Hope next week is great for all of us! we can do it. When in doubt remember what i think we should adopt as the H20 motto: "let's bring our sweaty on and get our sexier back" ~hehe0
