Jess: I buy my swimsuits from Land's End online because their sizing chart is accurate and the adorable halter tops actually properly fit well-endowed women such as myself. They're cute, comfy suits, too. You can check them out at Landsend.com
I love Land's End! They really do have all the different body types covered as will as sizing, tops and cute to boot.0 -
Ladeb: Ann (Awestfall) typically posts a new link weekly or biweekly so they don't get so long and hard to keep up with. She always puts the link in the old thread, so just click and it will bring you over to the new one! I'm glad you came back with a loss after your time in Lanesboro. Are you from MN?
Yes, I live in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis - Champlin if you have heard of it.0 -
Ladeb: When you're under 200, you'll still come here for support because many of us are already there. We've become a close group, so we'll be here even when we're ALL under 200! I've most certainly heard of Champlin...I work in Blaine and live in North Branch!0

Hi ladies
Slowly but surely getting back to being on track. Taking it one day at a time. Day 2 of eating well I'll take it!
Nearly time to turn in this take home midterm... it's been killing me this week! (and an equally brutal project I need to get cracking on)0 -
I'm getting so much extra exercise walking to and from the bathroom today! :laugh: I've had to pee every 30 minutes for the last 2.5 hours. :indifferent:
Also, it's a nasty rainy day today and I'm working 13 hours. Did I let that stop me from exercising? Nope. I just walked 2 miles inside, including 8 flights of stairs. :drinker: Of course, I was heavily motivated by the crazy craving of the day (pepperoni pizza).
The deal with myself is if I exercise, I get to indulge (moderately!) in whatever stupid pregnancy-related craving (at least that's what I'm telling myself these are) I'm having that day. 
Sunday was banana pudding, Monday was Doritos, today is apparently pepperoni pizza (and how convenient that I work my part-time job tonight). 0 -
Julie, way to get in the exercise!
I've been craving thai red curry so in an attempt to be both thrify and calorie happy, I ordered one today w/extra rice. I should be able to stretch this out to make 3 meals. I smartly portioned out my rice and then added the curry into a separate container. I will be good to go for lunch tomorrow and Thursday for a total of $3/day. I wish calories were a little more friendly - my lunches are about 435 cals, which is more than I usually like to eat. Oh well, I'll need less snacks since it's so filling. Right?!?
Heather, I'm bummed you won't be able to do the 5K this weekend. We'll miss your support. I wonder if Cris is still planning for it? I've come to terms w/the fact that I won't be able to run the whole thing. However, I'm going to run with a friend and her dad (she says he sets a really good friendly pace), so I'll have some encouragement along the way to run as long as I can. No matter what, I know I'll hit a new "record" for longest distance ran. And I'll take that!0 -
Calories- Way over unfortunatly. So, not going to stress about it though. Tomorrow is another day
Water- 64oz.
Exercise- no, had a crazy horrible headache all day long and I feel horrible
Proud- That I drank my water.0 -
Hi guys!
Sorry for dropping off- just BUSY and out of internet range! I sure wish there was a Blackberry application for this site!
OK I'm doing badly but hemmm I'm here and I'm going to keep at it.
Yesterday I stopped on my way to the gym (first time in forever) and picked up a pair of those five fingered running shoes. The only ones they had in my size were ugly and not the style I wanted but they'll work for running and I bought them NO MORE EXCUSES! Then I called Ken and Meghan to remind them that they were meeting me at the gym. OK maybe ONE more excuse. Meghan went to a friends house, then she and the friend were going to meet us at Ray's Place (my favorite little restaurant in Kent!) Sooooo... two Christmas Ales, some deep fried appitizers and 1/4 reuben later I was over calories.
Today is going to be better. I'm heading home to my PC to edit photos, and I'm hoping to enjoy a little fire time. Maybe I'll get some exercise in tomorrow AM?
Love you all!
(sorry I didn't spell check)

I weighed myself today and I am only two pounds from an honest ticker! I am so happy!
check in:
cals: wowsa - ate out for lunch and it took all of my calories! Won't be eating that again!
water: 100
exercise: 30 minute walk
proud: I am getting a grip!0 -
Ok so I have an honest ticker this morning and I messed up big time yesterday but I am determined not to blow it today.With that said I am going to go exercise now be back later.0

20 minutes on the elliptical done WOOO HOOO!!0

Good Morning Everyone, I am SICK, SICK, SICK this morning. I still have a horrible headache, and now I am coughing and sneezing like crazy. I am not going to exercise today but I have no excuse today not to eat well and I will do it. I have made up my mind that no matter if I feel bad or not I am going to eat well. Yesterday I used it as an excuse to eat junk (my hubby brings the crap in the house and I have told him to stop it) and I will not do that today, there is no junk food in the house. I have to be honest with my ticker too, this weight was from the other day but I wasn't going to change it but oh well it will be coming right back off.
Ann- congrats on the exercise!!!!0 -
hello gals!!
Sorry i have been mia for a while..work is just crazy busy...We had a big release go in yesterday and it was just crazy worked 5:45 - 5:45 yeah...fun...not to mention i didn't sleep hardly the night before , betweek worring about this thing yesterday and abby waking up at 2, yes 2...and mee feeling cruddy...
yeah on the me feeling cruddy...started friday with sore throat, then more sore throat on sat turning it to some head conjestion on sunday to chest and head congestion now...fun fun..i got some meds at cvs last night hopefully i will feel better soon , i seem to when i get a head junk it turns into bronchitis, so if it doesn't get better by the end of the week i may head to the doctor.
This much was at work pretty much no body off , no body leave early so we will have to see..
I still haven't been tracking or really working out...work just draining everything out of me (probably why i am sick). I am hoping to feel better this weekend so i can work out finally. Our gym had a programmer for new enrolees for 6 months, they tracked how many times you went, you answered questions of the day. YOu could get a total of 24 points, and i got 21 (the other ones were like referriung members and buying PT sessions) so now i can redeem them. ...I had enought to redeem 5 - 25 minute sessions. I know they will probably want to sell me more at the end, but oh well i got no $, but will take these 5 sessions...i seriosly need help in strength training... hubby got his too but he didn't get as much since he doesn't work out at lunch like i do, but he still got 2 - 50 minute sessions so that is really good too.
was suprised at the scale this morning , since i haven't really done much (and ate way more stuff than i should), i am holding around 245 , which was my last weigh in like 2-3 weeks ago...i am good with that.0 -
I did SO well yesterday. Until 9pm rolled around. And then I lost my mind. Pizza and ice cream binge. Amazingly, I was only about 150 calories over "maintenance" which is nothing a short little walk won't take care of today. If I had only had a *reasonable* amount of pizza OR a *reasonable* amount of ice cream, I wouldn't have been over maintenance at all. Hard to believe after 14 months of conscious effort those "I don't even give a f***" binges still happen.
I'm over it. I didn't weigh this morning because I figured the sodium in the pizza needs a few days to wash out of my system. I won't weigh myself again until Friday. And it WILL be lower than yesterday. 0 -
Hello hello!
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I'm happy with my check-in.
Cals - 1350, over by 150 (yup, I'll take it!)
Water - 72 oz
Exercise - None
Proud - I was baptized yesterday! I was dedicated as a child, but never baptized as an adult. So last night I did the full-on immersion baptism and got dunked. It was a very emotional experience - I cried a lot, happy tears!
I've got exercise planned for today and tomorrow. Gym with friend today and hot yoga tomorrow. I'm so NOT ready for the 5K this Sunday, but I'm going to do my best.0 -
That is wonderful news to hear of your baptism!! God bless!Hello hello!

Good... almost afternoon! haha
Two days in a row of eating well! I even got my friend from class to join MFP
The girls (8 and 3 years old) don't have school today, so they're hanging out with me! (Any suggestions on how to log that? haha)
Lauren - Congratulations on your baptism!!! 0 -
Theresa: You sound like you have a fun day ahead of you. I'd rather hang out with 8 & 3 year olds than work!
Lauren: If nothing else, I'll do a 5k on the treadmill in support of you gals. I may still register for the 5k, who knows. Sometimes I surprise myself. Congrats on the baptism!
Melinda: I'm with you on wishing for a Blackberry app for this site. They keep saying it's coming but I'm getting impatient!
Nancy: Congrats on being back on track and being close to having an honest ticker again.
Laura: Feel better soon!
Ann: Great job on the exercise.
Deb: Yay on being able to take some PT sessions. I highly recommend having the trainer work with you on free weights for strength rather than machines because you're more likely to be able to continue them at home without a large investment should you not have access to a gym sometime in the future. Plus, using free weights works the "functionality" of your muscles (meaning the angles in which you use them in your daily life) rather than just the position set my the machine. Just my opinion!
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over by 74
Sodium: Over by 2175 (chicken patties for dinner)
Water: 64.9 oz.
Exercise: ChaLean Push Circuit 1
Proud: That I exercised at 5am.0 -
Can you eat too much fiber? Especially if you are eating well as far as calories, etc go.0
-
ladeb, I think anyone can eat too much of anything. But I would say that you need to listen to your tummy. Mine gets bothered by too much. As for a number that says this is too much I am not sure.
Deb, glad to see you here!!! I think Heather had some real good advice about the PT
Good Job Nancy!!!!
Lauren congrats on being baptized.
Ann keep up the good work!!!!
Julie, even though you still have those occasional binges it is amazing how you are aware of it and do damage control the next day. That is what is different. Even "thin" people have those binges what keeps them thin is doing what you are doing. Taking care of it today!!!!!!
Okay, I am here to share my "Journey with RyRy" I have requested a "one on one" aide for him. I am doing that job now. Monday while I was at home and on my way back to school he took off running from the teacher and slid and hit the paper towel dispenser in the face. So he needs constant supervision. He has climbed up on cabinets and done things like that. I leave for an hour in the morning then I return. In the midst of me asking for all of this the school Psychologist e-mails me and here it is.... I copied and pasted
"Sherry: One more thing. I am working on writing Ryan’s evaluation report and have been reviewing the data we are collecting on his behavior. The graphs really show terrific improvement. They make me excited just looking at them! Ryan has exceeded the behavior goals that we have set for him into December. So, it is probably time to adjust the behavior plan."
I was so happy. Sometimes when you are dealing with something daily it is hard to see the improvements but wow he has SURPASSED his Dec. goal and we are still in NOv. I am so proud of my little guy!!!!!0 -
Can you eat too much fiber? Especially if you are eating well as far as calories, etc go.
Yes, you can eat too much. Most of what I have read states adult women should aim for 25-30g/day (forget about what MFP initially recommends). I'm sure the best amount varies from person to person so you may just have to feel it out for yourself. Your physician could advise you to eat more or less depending on certain medical conditions.
I have days when I'm over 30g and days when I'm under 25g. It's not that big of a deal, but I do try to keep it somewhere around 25-30g on average. If I go over by much, I make sure I drink some extra water. Too much fiber and too little fiber can really mess with your digestive tract. Some people seem to be more sensitive to it than others.
Also, if you increase your fiber intake too rapidly, you can experience digestive upset (Mostly in the form of gas. *Painful* and terribly embarrassing gas. :laugh:).0 -
Momma, that is WONDERFUL news about Ryan!0
-
Momma - that is great about ryan!!
Sooo frustrated with serena right now. She did soo awesome 1st 6 weeks, got all a's and b's and not that many marks...this 6 weeks completly opposite...she has all b's and c's (the b's wouldn't be bad, but she has the b's cause she does really good then doesn't do work or does it late and gets major points off). She has gotten several papers, 18, 30, 25, etc just cause she doesn't do what she is suppsoed to do...she says alot she doesn't have time to finishe, but i am sure her teacher gives her the time, she just wast that time. I told her last night that it is the end of this...i just don't know how to make her do it. LIke in reading, she has a 60 cause she got a 25 and a 30 , then some like 95's ...so i know she is fully capable of the work...sooo frustrating...
she started basketball last week too...hubby has taken her to the practice's...she is doing them, but she just doesn' t hustle and spaces out alot...she does praticipate but not to the level she needs to , she got hit with a ball a few times because she isn't paying attention...she is pretty good if she tries (like everything else), i hope she does okay when the games start.
Heather - thanks ...i actually was at a seminar with a PT at the gym, and he said the same thing, he focus's more on free weight and your own body weight. He used to be a Phycial therapist so i may see if i can go with him...with my knee problems maybe somebody like that would be able to help better. I see some of the muscle guy PT on the machines all the time..I really want the free weight training since come april/may we are quitting the gym as our new neighborhood has a little gym and we will just be too far.0 -
Momma - I am so happy for you and Ry!
I called in sick today. I needed a serious sleep day! I am exhausted and this sinus infection is taking me down. I have enjoyed sleeping today! Now I am going to muster the strength to go to the gym for a light work out. Wish me luck.0 -
Nancy: Hope you feel better soon!
Momma: Yay for your awesome little Ryan! I'm so happy for both of you! Remember to always celebrate the successes whether they be big or small...both for Ryan and for you!
Deb: I'm glad what I said about the free weights made sense. Hopefully the trainer will come up with a good plan for you that doesn't bother, or even helps, your knee.0 -
Calories- way over again. I need to get myself right back on this thing tomorrow sick or not, and I will sick or not.
Water- 64oz.
Exercise- none
Proud- that I know that I am human and I will make mistakes and that I can admit that I went over my calories without being ashamed of it b/c I know this is a lifestyle change and it will take time to get habits that are healthy.0 -

Proud that even though I went over on sodium I kept everything else under control and I know tomorrow I will keep m y sodium in check.0 -
Hello everyone!
Mamma - great news on Ryan! Remember this moment in the days ahead and be kind to yourself. You're doing great things for your son and he's improving. Just like our weight loss there will be stall out times - momentary setbacks that make it feel like it was all for nothing - and great achievements! We just have to trust that around the corner and on down this road it's going to be more good news if we keep on keeping on :happy:
elmox (right person?) Congrats on the baptism! I was baptized twice, the second time in a beautiful waterfall in TN when I was sixteen. I think it's a good idea to refresh our relationship to God every now and again - regardless of how you worship (or what name you use for God). My parents think I'm a heretic
I had a business lunch today - FREE - is it just me or is it extra hard not to want to get your "money's worth" on a free meal? It should be the opposite! I didn't pay for it so waste shouldn't hurt so badly. But nooooo I had to order dessert! I had a Caesar salad (with real anchovies on top!), cedar plank salmon, mashed potatoes, bread, herbed butter and broccoli - and a piece of flour-less chocolate cake for dessert. I am telling myself I did well because I only ate a couple bites of the mashed potatoes.
Tonight my husband is cooking dinner and we're having oven roasted salmon (I didn't have the heart to tell him I ate that for lunch) and brown rice... and wine.
*spousal rant*
My husband broke a wooden stair in our house, and "marked it" by leaving two big rubber mallets on the stair. It's been this way since I got home from MO last Tuesday night. Today he tripped over them going down the steps. Am I supposed to feel sorry for him???:huh: :huh: :huh: ??? He fixed it (I think) after he fell, and he keeps muttering about hurting himself in the fall and I'm just not asking or acknowledging it. Maybe I am evil:devil: but I'm soooo fed up with the stuff he doesn't do around the house. He's retired. He is capable. wtf!!!:explode:
He did fix my computer that's been down since July. When I went to MO I gave my other computer to a friend to fix for me, and when Ken found out he was all huffy and fixed my main computer for me. He said "Why did you LET Ryan take the Dell? I told you I'm going to fix it!" I said "it's been FIVE MONTHS!!!!" - he hung up on me but when we got home the computer was fixed.
*rant over*
Tomorrow night at midnight the new Harry Potter movie comes out. We've been avoiding the previews (easy when you don't watch TV) and we're all going to dress up for the event! Beth (Grad-student housemate) Ken, Meghan and I are going with a few of our friends from our Thursday Night Dinners - 12 of us total. Beth is going to wear some sort of costume (she's into making costumes for sci fi events), Meghan is dressing up like the free-thinking character 'Luna' - Ken will wear a Wizard's hat and carry a wand - I'll have on a robe and maybe a hat... It will be silly-fun!:bigsmile:
Checking in for last night:
Calories - under but I can't believe there's really only 100 calories in an oz. of salami?
Water - fine
Exercise - uhmmm
Proud- I am cutting back on my peppermint consumption.0 -
