  • I found a picture of myself this evening, taken in May of 1989 at my boyfriend's prom (i was a senior, him a junior -- the scandal! LOL).. anyways, i looked at the picture and i know for a fact that i graduated the next month weighing 157. So an estimate of the weight in the picture is 155ish. I look nice.. thin but not *overly thin* but definitely slender. I am starting to wonder now about setting my MFP goal at 140. Maybe this is going to be too low? Not sure. The top end of the "healthy" range is 174 for me, btw.. Anyhoo, i am scanning the picture in tomorrow morning and will post it here for you all to give feedback on. Please be honest and thanks in advance!

    I have been an MFP member for almost 2 months now and it's been great!
    My goals for the time being are:
    1) To be under 200lbs by 3/1/11
    2) To not go over my calories on weekends
    3) To watch the sugar intake....soooooooo hard

    This week was a hard one for me, with working late and skipping the gym, vowing to workout at night and then going to bed instead

    But this morning I did my workout at 5:00am and I must say I feel pretty darn good... hopefully I can keep this up till weigh in day cause I havent lost anything in weeks and its gettuing a bit de-motivating

    I have to get over this cold!!:sick:
    I am one of those people who eat when they are sick. I never just lay down and rest. I just EAT!! hoping to get some strenght.
    I ate my usual breakfast. 2 egg whites ,2 tbs turkey sauage crumbles, 1 sclice of 35 calorie toast. sounds nice and light.
    When I got to work a co-worker was selling burritos. so I had a bacon and egg burrito, The very shortly afterwards someone came in with donuts. I ate 2!! I'm telling you I ate 2 freaking chocolate glazed donuts. I brought a lean cuisine for lunch and I better eat that late because that will be all I can have for the day.:sad:

    sounds like you need an emergency workout session this evening!!! Yikes! Depending on how full you feel later, you may want to have an apple and a coffee and a couple glasses of water for lunch and hold off on that meal till later. Not sure if this is the best strategy, but it is what *I* would try to do! ..... We've all been there.... but the good thing is, you have time to pull yourself out of this if you make good choices for the rest of the day :) STAY BUSY! When i am busy, i dont eat as much! Good luck!

    ........... and my 3 year old just brought me a piece of his cinnamon toast "for you mama".... how can i not? :P
  • hey all :) Hope the day is going well for you! I just posted that prom pic i was talking about but i put it on another thread 1) to get more feedback and 2) to not clog up our 50 lb challenge thread ... Would love your input though!!

    Banios I have an enabler too. Alway going and getting sweets or bbq or something that i really love and don't need. I keep thinking that they want to keep me fat. Well that 's not going to happen. Just remember your worth having a healthy life. Love yourself enough to deny yourself things that are bad for you. I don't know it you have children but sometimes we have to treat ourselves as such. We wouldn't allow our children to eat a whole bag of oreo's or a hugh piece of cake. So treat yourself kindly. Love your self like you would love a little child. Sometimes you just have to tell them NO:frown:

    Yep, it is a pain in the butt to fix something separate but that is the only way I can lose.
    Dh is always bringing something home..you know. "honey, I brought you an apple fritter I know how much you love them" Then acts all hurt when I refuse it..
    Jeez!! I've been married to him for nearly 37years Seems to me he could be a little more supportive.

    But I decided it is my body and I need to take care of it before it is too late.

    YOU JUST DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES FOR YOU!!

    Introduce your husband to MY husband, sitting in a chair tethered to an oxygen tank with a tube stuck up his nose, a scar on his chest 12 inches long and puncture wounds all over his body from having veins stripped and drainage tubes inserted and tell him it is the result of doughnuts for breakfast, doughnuts on his breaks, doughnuts for lunch and a four cup bowl of ice cream every night.

    You're right - you have to do whatever it takes for you.

    Take care everyone!

    THanks BIllybed! I always enjoy looking over the stats.... I am pleased that i am at a 4.74% loss thus far :) I will use it as my much-needed motivation to keep moving forward as i am currently wrestling with fear... fear that i am 3 pounds away from my lowest adult weight. Fear that i am only 7 pounds away from 'healthy'. Fear that i am not sure i can see myself as a healthy-weight person (i still see the fat). Its a rough patch, but i am hoping to move through it..... I really REALLY want to meet the healthy, toned, skinnier version of me. Working on the mental crap sometimes is just as hard as the eating right. *sigh*

  • ***** WEEKEND CHALLENGE ****

    Ok, we need another weekend challenge! So i am proposing 10 8oz servings of water a day (80 oz) both Saturday and Sunday. Lets stay hydrated and hopefully keep that hunger in check. Should get us some great results come Monday morning weigh-in!!! Who's in?

    (have a great weekend, btw!)

    ***** WEEKEND CHALLENGE *****
  • Hi everyone! I just joined MFP and I feel this could be very helpful. This is the first time I have ever joined in something like this. I am looking for all of the help I can get. I would like to join your challenge. My 16 year old son is big in fitness training and nags at me all of the time. The other day he asked me in disgust if it was going to take something drastic and serious to make me committ to changing my diet & lack of exercise. I am sitting here watching a taped show of The Biggest Loser and after joining MFP I am excited for morning to begin m:happy: y workout. I look forward to seeing my slider moving downward!

    291 this week, that is a 3lb loss last week. The thing that makes it even better, is that I only got 1 gym session in last week so the loss is more a result of me just eating better.
