    Wednesday
    For me i had no energy left after standing in the kitchen all day (apart from lunch) we carved pumpkins, i used the insides for making pumpkin cookies (low cal) & also choc chip pumpkin muffins. The kids love them which is gd.
    but when i put into the exercise thingy i found u use a loads of cals up. yay which meant i was under my cals after i put it in. (i was over by a lot). I got in about 4 pints of water ( not sure how many glasses that is).
    Thursday
    I dont know if i will get to exercise today as were cleaning the house as we have friends coming to stay, i think on monday i will have put weight on, not looking forward to weigh-in.

    Hey ladies....

    Is this is a woman exclusive deal or is this for us guys that want to shed a bit of weigh as well?

    ANYONE is welcome to join at ANY time! Just post your starting weight, weigh ins are Mondays, and look for daily challenges. The daily challenges aren't required, just a fun challenge to help us stay on track if you so choose to attempt them! Welcome aboard!

    The spread sheet is awesome! Thank you for making it.
    I'll be out of town on Monday and will have to check in Tuesday instead. I'm going to be in New Orleans for Halloween and will consider it a MAJOR success if I just don't gain anything. :)
    Good luck, everyone!

    Hi All:

    I started with good intentions in the early part of the day, ran five miles at 8:05 average pace, drank some water (sometimes I never do, so that was a plus) but when I arrived home, all heck broke lose and I blew the calorie goal. Let's say I was waaay over. Drats!

    Anyway, I hope to stay on track today.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Mary

    You are putting too much stress on yourself. Yes, we all want to reach our goals as fast as possible. But little setbacks like missing a day of training is not something to sweat. Just do not get depressed about it and make it up the next day by running the stairs 10 extra minutes as punishment. Negative emotions causes a rise in cortisol. So stay positive. Close your eyes, breath deep and visualise how you are going to tear it up at the gym tomorrow.

    I toally agree with this! We are way to hard on ourselves :) This is a positive change in our lives and no one said it would be eay. But we have to stay positive to acheive our goals.

    So here I go, I have another challenge that weigh's in on wed & I ran out of the house yesterday, and didn't weigh in. This morning i weighed in at 209, compared to my weigh in on Monday for this challenge at 213.
    :wink:

    I don't have issues getting my water intake, but i occassionally drink a diet coke depends on the meal. I want to share that I am starting to feel how I get fuller quicker when eating. Good sign right!

    I am way under calories for today, but have a formal event tonight that I may use them at. I will probably get some exercise from dancing tonight! I need to up my water intake.

    I have seen alot of people that are having trouble following the thread (it is a little hard to follow with all of our members). So, I have a suggestion...could we start new threads? One thread for weigh ins and one for daily challenges, check ins and chat. That way we would have specified places to go depending on what we needed to do. We are all new at this and it is learning process just thought that may help us organize things a little better.

    Hey Y'all!!

    I got my exercise in! Woo hoo... first day back in the gym after being out of town.

    Working on my water...I'm a little behind today since the challenge is 12 cups.

    As far as calories go...I still have over 1600, so I know I'm going to be under.

    Here's some of the things on my list I'm looking forward to:

    1. Vacation to Hawaii in September 2011 with my husband.

    2. Shopping in the Average size stores. (misses?? I think that's what its called.)

    3. New energy to keep up with my little boy.

    4. Being excited for weigh-ins instead of dreading them.

    5. Saying "GOODBYE" to the 200's FOREVER!!

    6. Running my first 5K race! I've always wanted to do this!

    These are just a few.... I'm sure I'll think of more!

    I am exhausted, so I am skipping exercise today. I have exercised for the past 6 days in a row I believe. I got very little sleep last night, then worked a 10 hour day. I've had 6 cups of water so far, but will probably have a few more. I'm over my calories a bit, but that's because I gave into my sweet tooth and had chocolate donuts at work this morning. I will be exercising tomorrow.

    One thing I am looking forward to after losing the weight is not wanting to hide from cameras when family wants to take pictures at Christmas! Also, I just want to feel better and have more energy.
