    Amazing progress all!!

    I've been SO busy this weekend I actually didn't track today for the first time since I joined MFP... I've been going through MFP withdrawal! Work has been ridiculous and the boyfriend and I went on a crazy shopping trip in the states today (all size 6s for me!! wohoo!!) - Can't wait to catch up with everyone. TJ and Meggon - amazing work you guys. I'm so proud of you!!

    Long run tomorrow - 5 whole freaking miles. I'm going to DIE. I've never run that far. Not yet anyhow :happy: Then we're going apple picking again, hopefully. Monday is the dreaded weigh-in. Hope today's lack of tracking wont hurt me too much on the scale.

    Enjoy your weekends ladies - or at least what's left of them.

    Right again, Meggon! I did :bigsmile: Felt great in that awful, painfully, exhausting kind of way! I'm glad it's over - let's just say that! Thx ladies!!

    Eeee.... Weigh-in tomorrow, y'all! At least for me it is... 5 miler went amazing today, as I alluded to earlier. Finished in 53:19 (assuming the marked path was accurate). Feeling incredibly bloated and gross right now but I am hoping that dissipates before tomorrow. I spent the entire weekend with my boyfriend (apart from the running today and work at night), including another trip to the orchard today (2.5 apples consumed - lol). Lots of sh*tty food eaten on Saturday but I think I mostly made up for it today. We had perch in the oven with a salad for dinner. Pretty healthy choice, I think.

    Anyway, I just wanted to check in with you all tonight. Anxious for tomorrow. Good luck to anyone else weighing in Monday morning! Can't wait to hear your updates.

    How do you deal with eating out?
    I've been cooking in regularly now, but this last week involved a lot of dinners out. I find it so much less enjoyable than I used to.

    Liz- going out to eat I usually handle by looking up nutrition ahead of time. Most places that I know of/go to have their nutrition info online so I just plan what I want to eat and set the rest of my day around that.

    Meag- Awesome job on the run! Even with the day off this weekend I'm sure your weigh-in will go great. Good luck!

    Christzl- Welcome! good luck on getting to your goal this month!

    Liz - I usually do a few things... I find what I want on the menu, and try to figure out how many calories/fat/carbs/sodium is reasonably going to be consumed. Then I generally consider a few options.
    1) Who am I with, and would they be willing to share this with a side salad?
    2) Is this something I want to have as a treat or is there something healthier on the menu that I can order instead without feeling deprived?
    3) In the past, I would order this and eat all of it - If I order it now and only eat 1/2-2/3 of it, progress is being made. Substitute any unhealthy sides for healthy ones and enjoy it! Remember: Eat slowly and only until your full.

    Basically I decide what I want, whether it's *really* worth the calories, and how I can alter the order to make it healthier for me.

    Sharing with friends/family is a key to success. My mom and I go out to eat together once or twice a month and she has also always struggled with her weight. We always order some super tasty main dish to share and then split a healthy salad with light dressing on the side - Half the calories of the main dish and still really filling. Also tends to make for a cheaper lunch. Sharing a dessert with someone and only having a few bites is an AWESOME way to treat yourself after having made sensible food choices at a restaurant. It also makes you feel less deprived - even though it's only a few bites :smile: And you're totally worth it!

    Also - Always, always, always order water. Wasting calories and carbs on drinks instead of well-prepared delicious food doesn't compute with me. Avoid anything with loads of bread, cheese, or sauces - these are notoriously high in cals, carbs, fat and sodium in the case of sauces. Baked or grilled fish, pretty well anything stewed, and absolutely anything fresh or raw are your *best* bets, for the most part. Hope this has been helpful! :happy:

    On to my selfish update!

    Another 2.2lbs lost this week! WOHOO!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Not quite sure how, but it happened! Only 0.8lbs left to go in October and I feel good about it. Now I just have to work hard on my other goals... These push-ups are really giving me a hard time and it's clear that my goal was really unrealistic. I'll keep 'pushing' (in an up-wards fashion - haha) and see how far I get. Not expecting major improvements but I'll be happy with any progress I make.

    Looks like my best friend from University might be coming to visit the week before my 10k race (Oct 26-29)... This is going to seriously impact a) my weight-loss and b) my training. I'm a little miffed that she didn't really ask if that was good for me, but I guess she doesn't have any other options in terms of visiting because of school and work, so I will make due. She'll have to live with my lifestyle changes and maybe they'll set her in motion to lose weight and get healthy as well. When she and I last lived together I was at my heaviest and not very healthy at all - chain smoker, regular social drinker, eating whatever I felt like. Things have definitely changed. She saw me in September and was shocked at my progress (and then kept insisting I was starving myself... sigh. It seems very few people can be genuinely happy for you).

    Anyway, this week I am taking it slow and easy. Going to TRY and get in lots of body-weight training. I need to tone up - big time. Hope everyone else that has their weigh-in today is having success. If not, keep working! You're all doing amazing.

    PS. I think we should crop that list down considering only a handful of us really partake. Thoughts?

    hey everyone!

    sounds like everyone is doing so great! happy for you all! as for me... meh. another week and no weight loss. while i'm happy that i've maintained, i'm upset i haven't lost. HOWEVER, i feel this will be a really good week. i'm aiming for that 2lb weight loss this week! i'm going to switch up my workout routine/workout more this week and i'm REALLY watching what i'm putting into my body. i've bought healthier snacks and foods so hopefully that will help. i am NOT going to give up. i am still far away from my ultimate goal and i know this is going to be one hell of a journey, but i am going to do it!!

    as for my october goal, i'm probably not going to lose 7.4lbs in 2 weeks, but i will be very happy with a 4lb loss by then. little by little.... :)

    have a good week everyone! :)

    Way to stick with it Amy! You'll get through this. Do you have any non-weight/scale related goals that you could add? If you shift your focus off the scale a bit, it could help pass the time (even short plateaus are so impatient making!)


    PS. I think we should crop that list down considering only a handful of us really partake. Thoughts?

    Meag- I am good with this- Should we start the list again? Maybe at the bottom have a line like: "Mid-month refresh, re-add your goal if you are still in the challenge" at the bottom of each post- that way people know whats going on no matter which post they are reading?

    I don't WI until friday but I just got back from an awesome 43 mile bike ride/ camping trip. I ate a little bit of everything and I don't feel like I overate too much, but still got enough cals from my workout. I also didn't drink a lot of alchohol like others did and Felt pretty good the next day even tho I didn't ride (raining.) I am back at it this week and hoping for succsess.

    I'm weighing in on Thursday - so I'll post an update then!

    But I have some news from today: I signed up for a rock climbing class this semester (yes, I am getting college credit for this!) and we just had our first meeting today! We didn't do too much climbing, just getting to know each other and basic things. But I did work up a sweat on one point (while hanging on for dear life!) and man, I can still feel my forearms!! I don't think that I've ever really worked them before, so this class will be interesting. I'm really excited, a couple times we're going to take trips to local climbing areas (the rock wall at our gym is really small). And I signed up with my roommate - so maybe we can go practice on our own sometimes, or keep going on our own once the class is over!

    Great job, all!!! So good to see people sticking to their guns. Re-evaluating your goals and adjusting them is a great mid-month once you have a better idea of how things are going, how stressful life is going to be, how your body is adjusting, etc. It's good to keep your goals attainable so that you don't end up feeling discouraged at month's end :happy:

    So nice to see such amazing progress with all of you. Also great to see off-scale goals regarding exercise and food intake. You ladies are brilliant :happy: 12 more days left!

    Go Team October!

    Amazing exercise option with rock climbing! It's great for your upper AND lower body (power through with your legs - they tire a lot less quickly than your arms...) and you'll definitely work up a sweat! Can't wait to see your Michelle Obama arms once you're done :wink: Nice job on the college credit too. Two birds with one stone! hahah

    I have been lousy with flu for the last few days which is never good for my weight because I stay in all day, cwtched up on the sofa with my quilt, trying to avoid the cold air which just means I am around food all day long!
    But I've been really good and haven't once gone over my calories. So even though I haven't really done any exercise because I can't face the cold outside I feel like Friday's weigh in is gonna be a big number=] Hopefully tomorrow and Thursday I will be feeling a little better so I can get some workouts in and I might just wrap myself up really warm tonight and go for a walk.
    Well done to all of you who have managed to stick with this thread!!! Glad to have you all supporting me along the way!!

    Amazing progress Allie! You've lost so much you had to adjust your goal :drinker: Wooot! Keep that momentum up and push on through. Even if you don't quite make it to 165 you have done super well this month already! Really, really motivating!

    Emmy - Hope you're feeling better, dear. Being sick is no fun at all. Lately I feel like I'm always coming down with something... With my work at the bar I come in close contact with sick individuals all the time who aren't kind enough to just stay home. It's awful! Rest up and get better -- and then get back to work!!! haha jk Lots of fluids while you're sick and you should be fine on the scale this Friday. Just watch your sodium intake if you're having loads of soup :wink:

    Great job everyone. What a great week so far! We should start tracking everyones progress in a spreadsheet... Maybe for Nov? Could be neat to see how far everyone's come....
    Meag :heart:
