Hey Everyone, I just spent some time looking at everyone's recent posts and it is great to see everyone doing great. Meag! Good job on the shopping at Gap! I love Gap! I was so excited when I fit into a Medium there hehe. Congrats everyone on your losses...
For me
I feel like I am fighting an uphill battle. I am working so hard on my food changes, and I exercise a lot and I have been checking the scale the past few days and it is saying up almost 1.5lbs I am not sure why this is happening but it is bumming me out. I am not going to tell my bf about it because he gets sad when I am sad. It makes me want to eat everything I have been giving up. Why is my body having such a hard time getting below 170??? I was just thinking how I felt like my stomach was looking smaller. I took a picture, I plan to do measurements tomorrow night if I have time. I just don't know what to do about this. I am working hard on losing weight and it is not happening. O well I am going to email my nutritionist and see what is going on. Have a good day everyone. Sorry for the Pity Party. 0 -
inskydiamonds-CONGRATS on your loss
QOTD-ben and jerrys lite phish food
kat-i def feelya...sometimes i feel like the damn scale never moves the way i want it to!
tai-WTG on the push-up challenge! i am loving that challenge!
cruan0 that is sucha great loss!! keep up the good work!
rai-feel better
as for me...just got done with work so i will be weighing in when i get up, and unfortunately i don't have a great feeling about it i know that i did everything great this week and so i am not too stressed but i was really hoping for some sort of loss this week! wish me luck! 0 -
Tai - NSV = Non-scale victory! I don't measure myself (because I'm too uncoordinated to do it) and so clothes + fitness goals are my main source of success! Especially since I am nearing my goal weight :happy: Thanks for reading and being understanding. Love this thread. What would I do without it! Awesome about joining the push-up challenge! I am on W3D2 today and Holy. Hell. SO HARD! but worth it! My progress is pretty substantial already. So keep up the good work - And super neat about being in the Army. Who knew we had a member of the US Military on our boards! Anyone else in the Military?
Aly - Not sure what to say :ohwell: I can completely understand being bummed out! You're so healthy + fit, it must be incredibly frustrating that you can't get down to a weight that makes you happy. Take your measurements tomorrow and get back to us. You never know. Hope you're feeling better about it tomorrow <<hugs>> you are doing SO fabulous with your other goals, it's a real bummer that this is keeping you down.
My cupcakes just came out of the oven and they smell awesome! I added egg whites to bump up the protein. I'll let you all know if they are any good!!
Have a great day :flowerforyou:0 -
Laura- congrats on your loss!!! Even with your birthday celebrations I'm sure you'll reach 182 by Dec 1st!!! Just make good choices and you'll be fine=] If you want to drink alcohol stick to vodka or gin and slimline tonic! only 50 calories per glass=] Sending you early birthday wishes=]
Rai- Glad yo're feeling slightly better=] Sleep is definitely my friend when I'm feeling fluey so I'm glad you've been able to catch up on some zzzzzz's=]
Cruan- WAY TO GO!! 2.4lbs is amaaaazing! Video game Zumba sounds fun=] I've never tried Zumba at all but I really want to! I'm just totally uncoordinated so don't want to embarrass myself!!haha!!
Meag- Thanks so much for your supportive words. I've spoken to the boy since this morning and things seem to be a little better. We both apologised and hopefully things will be okay by the time he gets home from work=] And I wish wish wish I could jump in the bath right now but unfortunately my flat only came with a shower=[ stupid landlord obviously didn't consider that he would be renting to a bath lover!! Glad you're cupcakes turned out good...... they sound yummy although I'm still a bit on the fence about pumpkin in baking!!! hahaha!!
Tai- thanks for your words of support too=] You are totally right that boys are senseless. And stupid. And annoying!!! hahah!!
I'm actually from Cardiff myself but I live in Swansea for University. Good luck with your training... can't imagine having to be fit enough to be in the army!!!
Aly- Sorry you're not feeling great about yourself!! I'm pretty sure everyone experiences a plateau at some point and as long as you stick at it you'll get through and carry on losing the weight=] I know you can push through=]
Tara- Good Luck with your weigh-in!!! Hopefully you get the loss you're after=]
As for me..... I've just finished my second bout of 30 Day shred!!! Had the day off yesterday because I went swimming instead!! And although my thighs are still really stiff I managed to keep up okay and I think I'm actually starting to understand what people mean when they talk about endorphins!!! I've never believed in them before but doing that DVD I get past a certain point and I feel light as a feather because I am actually doing what I dreamed I could=]
Keep it up everyone!!! We are making this month a month to remember=]

Lunch time....day one of parent teacher conferences...half the teachers just left to go grab fast food...I packed myself lunch! Very proud!!!!
Lost another 0.5 pounds this week. Very happy to be down to 124 lbs. Thinking I might lose the last 4 lbs. and then start to maintain! Love that my clothes are getting loose again BUT the wallet doesn't like it (neither does the hubby!!!)...0 -
Melissa- You are on fire! Good for you!
Emmy- Good to see that you are seeing results in the workouts! These are necessary times to focus on progress rather than numbers.
Meag- What I would do for a cupcake right now! My work is having their november birthday celebration today and I am debating about indulging or not. I know I am not supposed to but I am feeling so crappy right now, not sure what to do- Any help would be great.
tjradd- Don't worry to much about the scale. We all know that the scale is an evil B*tch sometimes! hehe You have been doing great this week and that is what matters the most.
Feeling and looking healthy is what it is all about. I know that I do not look as big as I did even a month ago. Even if the scale is not showing it. I recently started my Triathlon training and I know that I am building muscle back up. I am wondering if I need to eat more food or something. I am debating about counting but my nutritionist has advised against it. I am trying to not feel lost, not to mention my TOTM is coming up this weekend, so I am extra emotional right now. Thanks for all the support guys, you are always here when I really need it. Does anyone have any ideas for what I should do to see the scale go back down? I am feeling at a loss.
QOTD- If you could travel to any where in the world where would it be?
This is a hard one because I want to see everything! I would love to go to India, and China to see all the beautiful spiritual places. I also still want to travel through Europe. One day I will go to all the places I dream of.0 -
QOTD: GREECE. In 8th grade my world hist teacher told us about glass bottom boats to Crete from the mainland. It's been a life goal ever since
Aly- if TOM is upon you, chances are thats exactly why you are retaining weight. Do you know that when pushed to extremes your body can retain as much as 8 lbs of water then (very atypical but it happens). I think your nutritionist is right - stay away from the counting. I still think the scale is being a little harsh at you- why not try something like this? http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html
I'm sure at your nutritionist you get a more accurate body fat reading, but this isn't a terrible estimator and allows you to get the kind of "number satisfaction" that you get from a scale but based more on your measurements.
Also- isn't triathalon training kind of intense? Maybe workout wise you are pushing your body too far for it to get a chance to lose any weight even though it is getting healthier overall.
Emmy- Glad to hear the boy things are clearing up a bit. WTG on getting your workouts in- if your muscles are tight try to work in a day or two a week that is devoted to stretching rather than straight up working out. You'd be surprised what a difference it makes, both in how your muscles feel and in your mental rechage-ness.
Tara- can't wait for your update girl! You are gonna rock it!
Everyone else- y'all move too fast for me to keep up with. WTG everyone.0 -
Good Morning ladies and Happy Hump Day!! :bigsmile:
Meag - I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed your rant and couldn't agree with you more!!:drinker: I really wish that I had friends that I could go through this with (besides you lovely ladies of course)!! I can't wait to hear how you like the pumpkin cupcakes. I was going to make those last night too but I was so tired from not getting enough sleep the night before that I just didn't have the energy. I am gonna try and get them done tonight.
Melissa - I wish I had someone that would sign up for a 5K with me. I don't necessarily need them to run next to me during the race but just knowing that I had someone there with me would make a world of difference. During the MLB all-star weekend, I decided to do the one mile fun run so that I could take my kids along. It was just my kids and I but I wish I would have had someone there with me. Hopefully I will be able to find someone to go with my by the time I sign up. And great job preparing for lunch...and dinner today!! I find that when I take the time to prepare, my days goes so much smoother.
Rai - Glad to hear that you are feeling a little better. Hopefully work won't be so hard tonight after your day of rest, relaxation, and tons of Vitamin C. And great job controlling yourself with the Cheetos. I ended up binging on ice cream last night. I really wish my family woldn't keep that stuff around. Most days I can avoid it but last night didn't go so well! :devil:
Emmy - sorry to hear about the boy troubles but glad that you guys were able to talk things through and hopefully he just needed to have his eyes opened to the situation. I am sure a bath would have been great after that, as well as your amazing workouts. I love baths too but am not a fan of the one I have. I am determined that in my house (when I am able to finally buy one) I will have a jacuzzi bath tub. Oh how I long for that day!!
Laura - Congrats on your loss!! And happy early birthday!! :flowerforyou: I hope you take the time to fully enjoy your birthday and hopefully subconsciously you will make healthier decisiosn.
Crystal - Congrats on the loss!! I haven't had a chance to try Zumba just yet. But I have taken hip hop classes and another dance class in the past. I love me some classes. Hopefully I will get a chance to try Zumba tomorrow cause I really need to get some exercise in this week!! :grumble:
Aly - perhaps you should just make a vow to stay away from the scale for a few days...or even a few weeks!! The important thing is that you are looking and feeling better! I finally formatted my before pictures so I might just post those on the thread tonight when I get home. I am not even close to after pictures but maybe I will have someone take some current pictures of me. And hopefully there will be some change. :huh:
Tara - good luck with your weigh in today!! Mine is tomorrow and I know it will be good after binging last night. But those are the consequences that I have to face for my actions!! Keep your head up though and keep us updated!! :flowerforyou:
Tai - thank you for your service!! :happy: I think back now and wish that I would gotten my act together and gone into the Air Force. But now that I am a single mom of 2 kids, I don't know that I could do any type of service work. I also need to buckle down and take my measurements. I keep saying that I am gonna do it but I need to stop procrastinating!! :grumble:
QOTD - I love to travel!! But haven't hardly gotten a chance to travel since I have had my kids. My goal at one point in my life was to travel to all 50 states before I turned 50. I could still make it happen but I am not pushing it either. I would love to travel to Guam again. I also want to see Europe...and just about all of it!!0 -
Aly - I LOVE the Gap! Honestly... about 75% of my clothing comes from the Gap and it's the ONLY place I can find pants or jeans that are long enough for my legs (34inch inseam on this 5'7" frame- I am literally ALL leg). The sweaters are SO cute I want to scream. I am so pathetic about it sometimes... haha! The Gap Outlet store in Niagara is probably my happiest place on earth.
So... QOTD - South/Central America - Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru... The old culture and endless hiking/outdoorsy potential + the incredible coffee makes it a hands down winner. I'd LOVE to take a few months to back-pack there... Possibly work and vacation. Who knows. I am young and maybe some day I'll be able to afford it. Until then I will settle for a week-long vacay in Mexico - Pretty awesome coffee there as well! Wishing I could go this year but I doubt it's in the cards. Saving for next winter for sure!
I think I should give up baking all together. I always try to make things as low-cal and low-fat as possible and they never taste like real baked goods. They just taste low-fat and mediocre. These cupcakes smelled AMAZING but the texture was off. Nothing like cupcakes at all. Not worth the 99 calories at all. LAME!
Aly, if you are eating b/c you feel sh*tty then stop. If you are treating yourself because you can fit it into your cals and you really want something, then choose wisely and eat in moderation! Have one or two small treat items (find someone to share with so you can try more and have less hehe) and have a healthy lunch and dinner. No harm, no foul. Your diet seems extremely regimented and you definitely have to leave room for some treats and sweet stuff now and again. Can't be perfect 100% of the time! Good luck and if you feel like you can't cope with it, try to just stay away from the treats all together and find a mental happy place. Have some tea and steer clear of the kitchen. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon

I've got A LOT of catching up to do with you gals. I tried to do it last night, but I fell asleep on the couch (with my computer on my lap!) I'm really suffering from a lack of energy lately. I've been trying to wake up early because I'm much more productive in the morning - and it was working for a few weeks - but for the past few days I've barely been able to force myself out of bed, even if I have enough sleep. It's SOOO inconvenient!! What is up?? Sorry, was not planning on starting this post off with a vent.
I've got to leave for Rockclimbing soon, but I promise I'll be less selfish in my next post!
QOTD (yesterday): Favorite ice cream?? Mint ANYthing :bigsmile: Right now I have some mint chocolate brownie - oh yeah, that stuff is good! LOVE peppermint stick when it's in season, too.
QOTD (today): One word: EVERYWHERE! For academic reasons, I want to travel to the DR Congo. Yeah, it's a war zone - but I wouldn't really be traveling there as a tourist anyway. It's the case study of my thesis and I've been studying it and advocating for it for 3 years now. I've learned about, taught about and supported an organization in DC that works with women victims of war there (and elsewhere around the world) and by this point the country just means so much to me. As a TOURIST, I want to go to first to Turkey, then anywhere and everywhere else I can think of. Some Egypt, some India, some South Africa - and maybe Europe if I have time. And Central America/Caribbean Islands. Meag, Costa Rica was so much fun. A few friends and I went hostel hopping through there two summers ago: tons of hiking, interesting tours, ropes course through the rain forest - you would love it! I'm almost out of the coffee I bought there and it's the most depressing thing ever!
Catch up with you all later! 0 -
QOTD (yesterday) My favourite icecream is candy cane. Only available this time of year. Leaves my mouth feeling minty fresh. I think the mint also makes me eat less of it because I get the full flavour with only a little bit.
QOTD (today) Iceland. I want to go find me the home of the vikings. Maybe the northern scottish islands too for that purpose.0 -
It seems that conceptually in our family and in society generally moderation and denial are so often confused -- I regularly dismiss certain foods that I don't like or don't want to eat for health reasons, in exchange for other foods that I prefer (ex. rice for a bed of spinach). This is now regularly misunderstood as me being a diet-freak
I get that a lot too from friends and my boyfriend, particularly. It's especially bad with desserts - particularly chocolate desserts. I can't digest chocolate (it's not pleasant at all) and while most of my friends know that they think that it's because I am dieting or whatever. So when I'm the only one at the table politely declining a piece of chocolate birthday cake, they give me a hard time. I'm not a fan of how reward based our society is - "I did this, so I get this in reward". Doing something good, like exercising and being healthy, doesn't mean you have to have a treat.
However, as time goes on people are getting more understanding so I guess it's just one of those things we have to put up with.0 -
Hi Ladies -
So I have been focusing on drinking more H2O, and I've done okay so far. Last night I drank 4 glasses after work then tried to go to bed...mistake. After the 3rd time of getting up, my husband was like..."Are you okay?" :laugh: But, I do notice I feel a difference when well hydrated.
Meag & Aly - I love the gap for their jeans. I am short...5' 2" and they have petites that actually fit me. Sounds like we could all do some damage there.
Aly - I totally understand what you are feeling. The scale is brutal, and not entirely accurate most times. You have been training hard and eating well...are you seeing changes? Do you feel better? Have your muscles toned up a bit? Perhaps you should focus there and try to ignore the scale (maybe I should follow my own advice too, lol).
Stuart - How is rockingclimbing going? Sounds exciting. I've only done it once, indoors and it was hard!
Emmy- Sorry to hear about your boy troubles. I hope it all works out. How's the water thing going for you today?
Tai - Whoa you're awesome! :drinker: You do it all! Push-ups...ouch! WTG
QOTD- I would love to go to New Zealand. A friend of mine went and said the hiking is AMAZING. Plus they speak English, which makes things easier.0 -
Hey Girls!!
I miss being on MFP now. I'm completely loaded with office work & getting ready for vacation that I have no time to read any messages or even relax for a bit. But I'm not complaining, I'm going to enjoy next week and I'm going to answers the QOTDs.
QOTD (yesterday): Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge, Chocotae Brownie Fudge...you get the idea, right?
QOTD (today): All over the world.......Italy, Egypt, France, Germany, Australia, Brazil, Kenya......my list is never ending. I've been to some of these places but would love to go again with my hubby.
Alright, now got to get back to work. Have fun ladies!!0 -
Rockclimbing was AWESOME today, Roo :bigsmile: Alright, so instead of climbing the indoor walls, we went to the challenge course today and climbed the Giant's Ladder in teams of three. I'm adding a picture of one below in case anyone doesn't know what that is. Oh, and it was windy! Really, really windy. And that ladder swings!
Now, so I can share just how amazing this feat was, it's flashback-storytime: When I was a kid, I went to a day camp all summer and the older kids were able to do ropes course activities. So one day, I was set up to climb the Giant's Ladder (this was the second to last or last summer that I was overweight I think: I was around 15, 5'5'' and between 180-190lbs... so really overweight for my age and size) and I couldn't even get onto that first rung. I tried and tried and could not hoist my body onto it
It was embarrassing and a real hit in the face of the fact that I could not do certain things. And today I redeemed myself!!! :bigsmile: My tiny 5'2" roommate, a small, wiry guy in the class and I climbed the whole ladder. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: My roommate and I actually fell off of one of the rungs once, while I was trying to stand up. We both swung out and she maintained a hold on the rung above with one hand and I gripped the rung below with my legs and we managed to balance out. Terrifying, exhilarating, gratifying!! :bigsmile: I am so much STRONGER now than I've been in the past, and FLEXIBLE and I have so much more TRUST in my body.
And I'm going to be so SORE tomorrow!! (totally worth it!)0 -
thanks ya'all for the support! like i thought...not great today...i was UP 0.4lbs!!! however, it is my TOM and i still lost a half inch off my waist, so i am not TOO disappointed!! and next weeks weigh-in is going to rock i know it!!
QOTD-2 places for me Egypt and Italy!
keep doing great everyone!!0 -
I totally promised to be not selfish in my next post, but I just had to share my success at the Giant's Ladder with you girls!
@Tai, I really like crocheting too! But I hate finishing off projects, especially if I changed yarns a lot and have to find something to do with all those tails! The year I learned how to crochet, that was what I gave my parents for the holidays. It was like being 6 again and giving them macaroni necklaces :laugh: My mom actually still wears the scarf when it gets really cold - but I've never seen my dad wear the hat (which I don't blame him at all for - I'm pretty sure it looked awful!)
@Liz, Awesome job on the weightloss so far! You definitely deserve to buy yourself a new shirt or something :flowerforyou:
@Roo, sorry you were feeling down yesterday. If you want to add in some peanut butter, try putting a tbsp or so in oatmeal. Almost all my friends make a face when I say that, but it is a great way to start off the day, adds flavor, and is quite filling. Hope you're feeling better today!
@Aly, I jut want you to know that I really like the QOTD that you started (even though I don't always answer them!) Plateaus are really rough and frustrating. Just hold onto that knowledge that your stomach is feeling smaller... because that's what everyone else sees, you're the only one who sees the number on the scale. Hope your nutrionist has some helpful advice - way to use your resources in a tough patch. And Triatholon training is damn impressive!!
@Meag, your shopping trip sounds awesome! Great deals and cute sweaters are so exciting. Being more comfortable with the way that I look in stylish things was a HUGE step for me - and I'm glad that you found those sweaters that you feel good wearing! It's also great that you were able to have that talk with your mom about your healthier lifestyle, and that you feel like she heard what you were saying. As far as I'm concerned, your family is really lucky to have you cooking healthy meals for them. I would love to have someone to do that for me :laugh:
@Melissa, you are so RIGHT about the "healthy mind, healthy body." Being unhappy with myself effected everything - and I had to make a conscious decision for myself that pursuing health also meant pursuing happiness. Way to be a motivator and inspire people around you!! And loose clothes are a great feeling - way to go on your loss!
@Emmy, sorry to hear about the boy troubles, but it's really good that the two of you were able to talk it out. So glad that you're feeling better about it!
Oh, and here's my personal stat: Stuartme123_ 21, University of Delaware, Newark, DE (That's New-ARK, not NEWark haha)
I know I didn't get to everyone, serves me right for waiting so long in between posts!

Cruan - Awesome! 2.4lbs is mega :drinker: Getting darn close to that double digit!! Zumba video game is news to me - For which system? Sounds like it could be lots of fun! Let us know what you think
Zumba's coming out for Wii, PS3, and XBox 360. It's a latin dance workout. They have it here at the gym, but I don't have very much rhythm so I don't go to the classes. I figure it's okay for me to look like a fool in my house instead of in front of other people! :laugh: I'm sure I'll give it a try right when I get home tomorrow and I'll make sure I come back and post about it.
QOTD: I would love to go overseas to Europe!! My husband is in the Air Force and I keep wishing for orders overseas. I think it would be such an amazing experience!0 -

I actually asked people because its interesting for me to see where people are.... well mainly why people post at certain times. I still don't understand why Meag is able to post between 8-11am (EST my time) when she apparently doesn't go to sleep until 3-4.
You don't have to answer if you don't want to. Just fun to see how easy it is to become friends with people who at sometimes 1000s of miles away.0 -
33 (I know, I know not technically in my 20's BUT I feel like it!!!!!), Hazel Park (suburb north of Detroit), Michigan
Looks like everyone was busy today! Didn't get a chance to run tonight but I did get to do some yoga...a nice stretch of the muscles after a day of running and another day of 30 day shred! Probably not going to get workout tomorrow either with conferences not ending until 8 pm. So just making good decisions food wise!!!
QOTD: I would love to go back to Ireland...went there on my honeymoon and we didn't get see nearly all we wanted to! I would also love to go to Greece, Scotland, Rome, and Vancouver...
Night Night all!!!0 -

Hey ladies... holy moly its amazing what happens when I cant get on to check this forum out for the day... I hate to say it but I feel so far behind that I dont know where to start responding... so I guess I will just do the basics and tomorrow is a new day...
Stats- Cait, New York State (bout 2 hours north of NYC) so I could say upstate NY until someone from the northern ny area comes on here and says your not from upstate... haha
QOTD (yesterday)- not really a big ice cream fan (sorry Meag) give me greasy salty french fries any day over ice cream...
somehow I missed the QOTD for today... assuming its travel related...
...anyway so impressed with how awesome everyone is doing. CRAZY day on my end. My truck died last week and just found out today that my mechanic cant fix it. has to be done at the dealer... which is like 10 times the price it would be at the mechanic... so fiance and I decided its not worth fixing. as of right now down to one car until we can figure out what to do... so frustrating and if it wasnt so close to winter here it wouldnt be such a biggy cause I could walk/bike to work which I will be doing until the weather gets horrendous... but once that snow kicks in... there is NO way! we live in the boonies... haha
anyway considering everything my eating has been pretty good... its just my exercise that has been lacking... gotta get back in to that!0 -
LOL! Well I am Meag Alayne, 23 and from Hamilton, ON Canada - ie: ESTsaw some others in this thread post their age & location too....is there a reason why everyone's doing that?

My schedule is a mess, to be honest. I work 10pm-3am out of town at a nightclub on the weekends, and so I usually don't get to bed until about 4:30 or 5am. I am not much of a sleeper and have never been one to sleep in, so I am usually up by 8 or 9am every day. On days I don't work I tried to get to bed by 2am. It's exhausting but that's how it goes. My boyfriend and family all work 9-5's so spending time with them is really important to me when I can. On the weekends I usually have myself up by 9am to get a run in before spending the day with the boy. Between working, running, my dog, and others' schedules it is hard to ever catch up!
Kind of funny that you noticed though. I am so addicted to MFP, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise...0 -
This is just wrong, Cait! haha Could be a deal-breaker for us. I may have to break up with you... :laugh: Seriously though, I get it. I don't like cake, rice or Italian food. Food preferences are so individual. Everyone's different!QOTD (yesterday)- not really a big ice cream fan (sorry Meag) give me greasy salty french fries any day over ice cream...0 -
