Looking at my updated ticker I just realized....I'm over halfway to my halfway point! :happy:
Here's yesterday's check-in:
Cals: 491 under (exercise cals)
Sodium: 546 under
Water: 64+ oz
Exercise: worked out with my personal trainer and burned 716 cals! I am really sore today.
Proud: I made a yummy dinner for my neighbor/friend/classmate last night since my oven is broken and we're waiting on the serviceman to come out. So I went down the street and made him roast chicken and potatoes and it was so tasty!
Like: I like that I'm coming into my own as a cook.0 -

I'm definitely upset by the number on the scale this morning. I overloaded on sodium yesterday but I was pretty good most of the week with food and exercise. Up 3 pounds from last week. I weighed more this morning than I did last night right after dinner so I know it's all water retention but it was WAY too close to 200 for comfort.
I'm not going to stress out about it, I'm just going to use it as motivation to be more active than usual this weekend.

Most defintly the sodium. That stuff is EVIL! It's hard sometimes not to go over on it.0 -
Hellllloooooo motivation!!! My cousin text me this morning. Our trip destination changed last week and it looks like were booking our trip today!! AHHHH!! Hello motivation again. Were leaving in about 10 weeks!!! So if I'm lucky I can lose another 10 pounds before the trip. IF I'm lucky. A little disapointed about that but hey...I been a slacker and all I can do now is make good choices and be good for the next 10 weeks. We are going to Playa Del Carmen. And as well as slacking on my weight loss I haven't got my passport yet. :mad: It says regular processing takes 4-6 weeks to procses. REALLY don't want to pay an additional $60 plus overnight shipping to expedite it. What do you ladies think?? BTW..I'm up 2 pounds from my lowest. So no weigh in for me today. But my mojo is back!! :bigsmile:0

good morning gals..
Mama.. glad to hear Ryan had a great day! enjoy the weather
Julie.. don't fret.. I am confident you will be just fine! You are always an inspiration!
Reana.. glad to see you back.. EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!!
Heather.. glad to hear that things are going better as the week progresses
Mstahl.. how did your dinner with your friend go?
Nancy.. I miss ya.. how is the mold fest going at your work this year?
1stpaul.. how is the YMCA going?
posme.. glad your internet is up and running.. how is everything else going?
ready2 ... nice to meet you! Glad to see your determination!
Jess.. how exciting a trip in 10 weeks! You can do it!
Ok.. where are Cris and lildeb? Anyone heard from them?
I think I identified part of my issue with over eating in the evening. Not sure how I am going to solve it though. This week, I have had a bit more determination to get back on the horse. So, the past few days, I have been cooking healthy again. Last night I made Dill potatoes and baked Greek chicken. It was really quite yummy (at least to me) My family complained bcuz it was not FRIED. I guess it just stressed me out after making the effort to try and find something full of flavor and cook it healthy all they could do was complain and not eat it. So, I naturally wanted to eat everything in site (and ate more pumpkin bread then I should have) I am really at my wits end because I have crappy will power right now. So, cooking two different meals is not an option. GRRR.. not sure how I am going to get this one fixed. Suggestions???
Well I really need to go and get my workout in before my client gets here! So, I will check back in later!0 -

Morning ladies,
OMG, I have missed 3 pages worth of post. I am just going to jump right in and do my best to reply to some of the posts.
Meokk, thanks for congrats on reaching ONEderland; I am so happy! I am still maintaining 199, but TOM visited this morning and well I am up 3 pounds. I know it’s not my fault, following the plan to the T so it has to be women issues.
Julie, way to go on NOT getting morning sickness…you are so lucky. That is the only reason why I didn’t like being pregnant..that and maybe having the baby w/o any drugs (terrified of needles and my deliveries are so quick doctors have no time to stick me with anything..lol) After my contractions begin it take me 30 minutes or less to have my babies..sorry if it’s too much info.
Heather, I feel you on the candy. when it’s in front of me; I don’t think of it but once I see it , I can’t get my hand off of it..it sucks but it is out of my house because I lose to total control of myself...
Allison, at time I like working with groups (because lots of great ideas/brainstorming and we are somewhat on the same page). But other time I like to work alone on a project because I like to get the job done ASAP while other like to wait to the last second or like to slack off, which feels you are working alone on the project. Good luck, you might need it
Ladeb, welcome to this amazing group!
Nancy, Hugs to you for staying on track and losing 3 pounds. I am a huge emotional eater..more on happy then sad occasion.
Ann, awesome job on your workout! You’re doing great!!!
Momma, Glad Ryan had a great day! hugs to you both:flowerforyou:
Laura, way to on being on track..small steps girl…that’s all it takes
Cogirl, I am the same way, I am great during morning but afternoon and evening my binging kicks in…I started to eat lots of carrots and celery in place of chips..for some reason the chips don’t appeal to me now..maybe because of the sick feeling I get when I eat lots of eat. As your quote says, “one day at a time” don’t beat yourself up if you eat a little too much just make better choices the next time you eat. We will lose this weight no matter how long it takes..as long as we are doing it the *healthy* way.
Renea, welcome back! And I totally agree with Nancy..YOU NEED TO EAT BREAKFAST…your body will thank you.
Jess, I am sooo glad you found your motivation….WLECOME BACK SISTA!!!
I think I got everyone…sorry if I didn’t..not intended
Ann....................-3.0..............1.31%

(TOM visited this morning) I am 202 as of today..it sucks but it's TOM so it's understandable
Have a great day! I promised my 5 y/o son that I would take him to the park for a "picnic in the park" thing..off to make a light , healthy lunch.0 -

You can call me Laura. Thanks, I am very determined this time to get this weight off. I am tired of being like this and not able to do what I want to do.0 -
:flowerforyou: to Ann and Allison on your weight loss and reaching *your* halfway mark!!!! Both are doing amazing...keep it up!!!
Thanks! :blushing:
I've never gotten this far with weight-loss goals before, because I always managed to sabotage myself. To actually stick with it, succeed, and have the support and encouragement of family, friends, and the people on MFP has really kept me going and is what will get me to the halfway point and to the finish line!0 -
Is anyone else in this group on facebook? I would like to add you to my facebook if you don't mind. If you do have a facebook and you don't mind me adding you send me a pm and I will let you know what my name is so you can find me or so forth.0

Growing up, my brother and I were allowed one food we didn't have to eat when my mom made it. My brother's was quiche, mine was Spanish rice. Those were the only times mom would make us a separate meal. Other than those two meals, we ate what we were served. Tell them you're the boss and you're making better meals for everyone!0 -
CoGirl-I would just try cooking some other foods they might not like. I don't think you should have to cook 2 seperate meals. They should try and not eat the fried foods to begin with. You are just trying to set a healthy example for your family. It's definitely an adjustment at first but I know you can find some good recipes that they will like that are still full of flavor.
Laila-Enjoy your picnic at the park with your lil man! What an awesome way to spend time with your son.
Laura-You can add me on facebook if you would like. lilboh02@gmail.com or anybody else who hasn't already added me.

Congrats to Allison and Ann for your awesome losses this week! Y'all are both doing so great. Hope to join in the losses next week!
Going at lunch to get my picture taken for my passport...have an appointment to get my passport Monday. Getting excited here!! Only concern is having "summer" clothes to wear in Mexico...eek!!0 -

Hello girls!! I am here, (thanks dawn for thinking of me :flowerforyou: )
I have been like super super busy at work, working almost ever night. Next week is going to be hectic too, i had a dead line that i was trying to hit and i had something take me lotl onger to get done that i was really hoping....it still is late but the people that need it aren't doing anythign with it till late next week so i think i am still okay.
Next week we are releasing a huge project that everybody had pieces in hopeing my parts go well, it is pretty mandatory no time off next week for anyone unlesss it is an emergency!!
We had our builders meeting yesterday, it went pretty good, so now they are going to start getting the purchase orders for stuff...hopefully in about 3 weeks or so we will start doing something on it...he siad though there is a like a 90 day build time, but we aren't ready for it to be done that early so i guess they can take their time.
i talked to my boss today and she was fine with next year having serena come home after school...the school is like down the street from our house (actually it is on the same street just like a block down). That is going to save us like 350 a month !!! I was only going to pay for her to be there like 1 1/2 hr or so a day. I still will send her somewhere in the summer .
My weightloss is not going good...i have not been tracking at all...and eating way to much bad stuff .. I was up to 249.7 this morning...not funny...tooo close to 250. I know alot is sodium from the last few days, but got to get back with it.0 -
Calories- Under
Water- 64oz+
Exercise- 35 minutes on my stationary bike. Burned 527 calories!!!!!!!
Proud- that I am doing this!!0 -
Hey ladies,
I am not weighing in today. I forgot to get on the scale this morning. I think I lost about 3 pounds though. I checked my weight in the evening yesterday and I was down like 2 pounds and it was night time. So I will try again next week.
Ryan had a GREAT day!!!!! I am so thrilled. Usually a real bad day means there are going to be several in a row. This in itself is an improvement. Only bad in the morning, recovered for the day and left it behind him(wed). Today started off well and ended well. I think this means he is starting to "get it" I felt so sorry for him today though. They were doing assesments on him to see where he is and they asked him to "stand by the chair" He would push the chair under the table then go back to his chair. They would say "No, STAND by the chair" so he stood ON the chair. Broke my heart!! My little guy just could not understand what they wanted of him. This is the "Language" part of his delay. You hate to see your child struggle. He was so proud of himself for standing on the chair he really believed he followed the direction.
But all that aside ♥♥♥♥HE HAD A GREAT DAY♥♥♥♥ 0 -

Still holding at -3 this week! Only four to go to make an honest ticker!!!
Congrats to our losers this week! Yahoo you did it!!!
And a huge WAY TO GO for our gals who made half-way to their half-way! Did that make sense? :noway: :laugh:0 -
Well I'm up a pound from yesterday which is a bummer, but I just now realized that the pretzels I had last night had an INSANE amount of sodium in them so I'm hoping that it's just water weight that goes back down tomorrow.
I did my first real outdoor run today - it is simply gorgeous here - and did 1.5 miles in about 20 minutes and just really enjoyed running on a nice morning. It really gave me confidence that I can do the full 5K in 2 weeks. :happy:
Yesterday's check-in:
Cals: 113 under
Water: 9+ cups
Sodium: 693 over (UGH)
Exercise: none
Proud: I went out and (other than those damn pretzels) didn't snack on anything, avoided drinking, and still had a good time.0 -
Awesome job running outside Allison!
Momma -SOOOO happy Ryan had a great day! *happy dance*
I had a not good day yesterday. I was really tired and I ate way too much crap. I tried to make a healthy lunch, had 2 bites and nearly threw up. It's like the only thing I could stomach was cheese pizza. So, that's what had for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I scoured the pantry for boxed mac & cheese. *sigh* I had none and ended up eating Ramen! :noway: Somehow after all that crap & sodium, I'm down 2 pounds from yesterday morning so I actually feel okay about my weight. I don't really think I've gained much and if I get my sodium back under control I should be back down to 193-194 in no time. I feel better about food today and I'm about to go to the gym (any minute now... really...
). 0 -
Hello everyone, I am ready to go today. Today is day #4 that I have stuck with it and I know that I can do this and this time I will not give up. I hope you all have a great day!!0
-
R2L (sorry I can't remember your name) - congrats on sticking with it for the past few days!! Sometimes all it takes to jump start this process is a few days of success and realizing that you CAN do it! :flowerforyou:
Julie - Sodium is a little b!tch. I'm in a fight with sodium today. :laugh:
Lunch then off to the library to get some work and studying done.0 -

It's Okay, thank you. I am glad that I decided to give this another chance. -Laura0 -
This phone drives me crazy. If i mess up it messes up everything and i have to start over. Ok here goes attempt no.2.
laura, great job staying focused! It will get easier.
Momma, so happy about Ry's good day! One day at a time, girl.
I am sitting in the parking lot of shop n save waiting for my dad to finish shopping. I had to get on to share my exciting news. Today it is pretty chilly in lou and of course i ran out without a jacket. I was freezing so when my dad and i went into walgreens i saw these sweatshirts for $5. I NEVER buy clothes in a store because they never have my size but i thought what the he'll i'm freezing. So i bought their biggest size,a 3x. IT FITS! I BOUGHT SOMETHING IN A STORE AND IT FITS!. PLIS I PUT IT ON RIGHT THERE IN THE STORE IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYONE! !! This is huge for me! I almost started crying in walgreens. I just tried it on like a normal person!0 -
YAY NANCY!! (there really needs to be a happy dance smiley!)
I went to the gym! I went to the gym! I burned 647 calories in 65 minutes keeping my heart rate at what I consider to be a safe level for me and the little one. I feel like 160bpm is reasonable and I can still sweat without getting out of breath or being overheated.
Normally after a visit to the gym I feel PUMPED. But today I totally zonked on the couch the second I got home. Welcome to ridiculous early pregnancy fatigue. And Laila, I don't believe for a second that I've miraculously escaped morning sickness. I definitely think it's yet to come. I have moments of :sick: but nothing really constant. I think in a couple weeks I'll be singing a different tune though.
Also.... there's a flipping mouse in my house and my cat has proved herself to be far too lazy. :ohwell:0 -
Calories- Under
Water- 64oz+
Exercise- no day off
Proud- that this was day 4 and I am pushig forward to lose the weight!0
