I had a good weigh in this morning.. down 3 lbs! .. ( I changed my weigh in time from evening to morning.. so that probably contributed to the loss) the number still looked good on the scale this morning. I was a little upset I didnt get my workout in last night, but I have met my goal for the week already so i guess its ok to miss a day once and awhile.. this is about living and not dieting for the rest of my life ..right? I had some discouraging comments from my brother in law though .. well not directly about me .. but he was talking about this "really big girl" as he put it and well she weighed the same as me
I am trying not to get down on myself though. I have my extended family's christmas party.. which includes christmas dinner... tommorow afternoon. I am a bit nervous because I always overinduldge. But enough about my troubles...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE WITH B_DAYS COMING UP!!! :drinker:
meag.. I am the same way about my birthday.. I ususally try and make it a birthday week! I just love to celebrate!
laura.. Great Job on the weight loss!
allie: Glad to hear you are okay
I hope everyone has a great weekend and can't make through the holiday parties! 0 -
Selfish post:grumble: ...
So...I had somewhat of a revelation on Wednesday night:huh: !!! I was watching the Discovery Health channel and there were quite a few shows on in regards to obese people. Needless to say, that was the kick in the *kitten* that I needed to stay on this healthy journey!! :bigsmile:
Got up and went to the gym yesterday before we were supposed to go to Disneyland since the boy wanted to sleep in. I felt great! We unfortunately didn't get to Disneyland:sad: !! Well we got there but the free ticket we had wasn't working so we just hung out all day together. It was great!!
Tonight we are headed to his friend's house and then tomorrow will be birthday festivities...so excited!!
Meag - hope you have a great weekend with all of your birthday festivities:drinker: My boy was giving me crap for wanting to celebrate my birthday all week long so enjoy your entire weekend!!0 -
Oh my gosh - I just caught up on this thread!
Meag - Happy Birthday weekend! Enjoy and great loss this week! Looks like that lifting program is working out after all!
Guam - I saw your loss on the newsfeed! Wtg! When I watch Biggest Loser, I'm always pumped to hit the gym after. Funny how that works.
Ngoat - Great loss! I think changing your time was an excellent idea, I always weigh more in the evening. Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Some people just don't think.
QOTD - When I go out to eat, I just look at the menu/nutritional facts before I go and try to choose wisely. It's not just the meal itself, but the portion! It's hard when you really get 3 servings worth of pasta on your plate.
AFM - Sorry I have been MIA, just really busy with work and various Christmas activities! As of today, I logged 40 days straight! Not always pretty, but I think it's worth it! :-) Keep it up ladies! You are all awesome!0 -
Guam - Lame sauce about the tickets not working, but I'm glad you got to get to the gym. It's always nice to have a sense of accomplishment like that, even if it's small!
Update for me - According to my excel sheet I've lost 3.75% of my bodyweight as of yesterday in the last 5 weeks! I'm very happy with it and I've noticed in my body. No changes in size of clothes but I'm firmer and my tummy is getting nice and flat. Maybe I'll get a 4 pack in time for the new year!0 -
Laura-Congrats on loss!! and TOM can be weird for me (and i am sure lots of us) too, so WTG!
Meag-Happy Birthday!! Great job on the loss and reaching your goal weight!! that is such a great b-day present to yourself!
ngoat-great loss!! i think mornings are for sure a better time to weigh-in for most and try not to worry bout what your bro-in-law said...everyone carries there weight differently so you prob look a lot smaller then the girl he was talking about anyways!
seripha-sounds like you've made some great progress!! keep up the great work and maybe you WILL have that 4pack for New years!!
AFM-i already got in 2/3 on my ab workouts and will be doing 2/3 on my push-up challenge in a minute for week 2!! my son's b-day party is tonight so I am planning on ordering pizza for them, and there will be cake and icecream!! i am not too worried about my calories for the day, but I am slightly concerned about my sugar challenge for the day!! on a positive note...I did get no sugar added ice cream 0 -
oops double post!! lol0

oops i guess it was a triple post!0

Super excited to get the weekend off to a good start...hubby fixed the treadmill last night (at 10:30) YEAH!!! So I can run when I get home since he has to work tonight and I won't get outside (got to burn off the Ghiradelli squares that I ate today). Kind of sad cause it is actually quite nice out!!! Having left over "healthified" tuna casserole and getting girls packed to stay with their papa and nana so we can FINALLY get their Christmas shopping done!!!
I am so impressed with all the high losses this week!!! Way to go everyone!!! I keep teetering back and forth between 123 and 125 so still able to even lose a little even with not a whole lot of exercise this week!!! Hoping to get in a nice LONG run this weekend!!!!0 -
Morning everyone!
Selfish post-
Today I had to go to court to try and fight this unemployment thing against me. It didn't go very well I decided that I am going to record my weight from Wednesday because the last two days i am up 2lbs and I think it is because of all the working out I have done this week, I am trying to flush out the water but I know I am holding onto something. I splurged on a little piece of chocolate at the store today, and I decided I am going to have Indian food for lunch I got a little chana masala and a little chicken masala, then some broccoli salad and ceasar salad so I am excited about my lunch. I was going to just do a salad but I get sick of it. I decided to flake on my friends get together tonight because I know it will just be food and drinking. I am going to go out for sushi with my bf instead. The scale kind of bummed me out but I did make it to swim 25minutes last night when I wanted to just stay at home. I am tempted to not weight myself until january but I know that would be a bad idea. I am going to work out as hard as I can this weekend and track everything! Even if I make bad decisions I need to write it down. I just want to get out of this funk. I am glad I will have a week off after christmas to focus on working out and getting things in order. Lets hope for a good weekend since last night was another cryfest. lame! 0 -
Hello!!
I’ve been super lazy in keeping up with this thread…I’m definitely going to make more effort from on…All of you are so helpful and so motivating…
laura – awesome loss!!
Meag – congrats on the loss & on reaching your goal! And, wish you a very happy birthday weekend!!!
Rai – you are absolutely right...this is a process. And, you can always cut down on the portions you have. I personally cannot avoid desserts..so I have a smaller portion of the entrée. Also, I always assume at such times that I may gain a pound or 2..so don’t get bothered when I see on the scale and 1 – 2lbs is negligible. But that’s just me. I love eating and don’t ever see myself only eating healthy stuff. Unhealthy food will always remain a part of my diet, at least once a week I guess.
ngoat – great job on the loss! As for discouraging comments, I tend to think of something because of which the person making the comments is jealous of me. If there’s nothing obvious, I just come up with some stupid reason for the person to be jealous of me and assume it’s because of that they are making such comments. It may be stupid but it keeps me sane & happy. I don’t want to be bothered by crappy talk.
Gaum – Happy Birthday Week
Seripha – keep up the good work!!
AFM, I decided to do strength training on days that I’m not doing C25K & the elliptical – already done with it twice this week. I’ve also been eating a fruit everyday, which is one of my goals for this month. So, so far I’m doing good.
Hope you all have a good weekend!!0 -
I almost forgot,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEAG!!!!!
I hope you have an amazing weekend and enjoy yourself to the fullest, however that may be. We will miss you! But please have fun and don't stress. This is your weekend lady!0 -
Lostalykat - sounds like you have a lot of stress in your life It might be a reason why things aren't going so well for you in terms of being at the weight you want to be. Stress makes us keep weight on, well at least for me. I didn't start losing weight until I found ways of curbing my stress and having down moments. Do you do anything already to relieve stress / re-center in your busy days? I usually just nap if I can, but I often find reading or yoga really help me (and my body) take it easy for a few minutes before I start running around again like a crazy person
Plus I totally forgot (thanks for reminding my lostalykat) that it's some birthdays today! Happy birthday to everyone who has one today. I know we have a lot of december birthdays in this thread so my birthday wishes to you if I have forgotten or will not get to be on here in time.0 -
TJ--Congrats on your awesome month! You will be at your lowest adult weight before you know it! Yum that chili sounds good!
Allie--Glad you're on your way to getting better!
Laura--Glad the intervals on the elliptical worked for you!
Meag--Congrats on reaching your goal!!!!! What a great way to start your birthday weekend! Hope it's great!
Rai--Your pup is so cute! Good luck with all your engagements--good idea to eat beforehand. Glad you're feeling better too!
Ngoat--I always weigh in the morning too because that is when I weigh the least. Sorry about your brother in law's comment. He must think you look thinner though or he wouldn't have said it. Good luck at your Christmas party!
Guam--Glad you enjoyed your day with your boy, and super glad your got the kick in the butt you needed! Revelations are great! Happy birthday WEEK to you!
Seripha--Yay! It's so nice when you can feel a difference from your hard work. 4 pack by New Years...6 pack by Valentine's!?!
As for my weigh in today...as I suspected the scale didn't move. Still 125.5. I am bummed, but not surprised due to my diet. It was much better the past few days though so at least I made up for the weekend nonsense and didn't gain! I want to get to 124 by next Friday, which I think should give me time to reach and maintain 123 the next week and maintain that through December. That was my original goal so I'm hoping I can make it happen. I just need to concentrate on behaving over the weekends. My husband's work holiday party is tomorrow--wish me luck!0 -
Super quick post for me...weighed in today at 121.0. Exactly the same as on the 1st, so I'm actually maintaining in maintenance. I'm content considering it's TOM and I didn't have the best week...scale definitely reality checked all my bad feelings this morning.
I'm heading out of town for the weekend and won't be around, but have a great weekend everyone!0 -
SUPER quick post- got my second lifting session for the week in yesterday so accomplished all of my goals for the week EXCEPT I gained two lbs (and that was from where I was the day b4) so am hoping its just water weight.
I got a little upset but went to the gym worked out hard and felt a lot better. Came home and took measurements and I have DEFINITELY lost even more inches in the past 20 days... will post later the stats. So feeling good.
Went and got the wedding dress. Down a whole size in that! So very happy with where it is it. Now it is just about me and getting healthy Check out the profile pic that is one of me being silly in the dress. Will try to post more later. Also went to pick up some more work clothes since my crouch ended up around my knees the other day (ooops).
Down to a size 12 in pants YAY!!!!! And went from an XL in dress shirts to L- feels sooooo good!!!! Just gotta keep plugging along Happy weekend everyone AND Happy BIRTHDAY WEEKEND to our birthday girls :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: 0 -
Aww Finn what a pretty dress!!! Congrats on going down in sizes--that is so exciting! Don't worry about those 2 lbs--the measurements going down is much more telling. You're doing awesome! Keep it up chick!0

Morning Ladies! I was bummed yesterday but decided to do something about it. I went to the gym instead of a food/drinking event last night and tracked all I ate and only had one beer. Yay me! for a Friday that is great! I have training this morning, we are running for 45 minutes. I am ready to start on the health train again instead of being upset about it. We still have almost 3 weeks of December I am determined to make it good!! Have a great weekend everyone!
Finn- Cute dress! Congrats on the measurements!0 -
BIRTHDAY PARTY TONIGHT! Lol, I might have a drink or two 0

Hey everyone! Quick selfish birthday post because I wanted to share what a wonderful weekend we are having already...
I got in a great step + circuit workout yesterday at the gym. Albeit a very tired one, since I wasnt to bed until 4:15am and had to be up at 8am to get to my class. The boy ended up dropping by around 1pm and I had a super healthy breakfast/protein shake/snack to prepare for our date night dinner. I had about 1000 cals left over which was more than enough for dinner. He ended up taking me to an incredible authentic Korean restaurant (definitely a boy that knows my tastes... he's such a keeper!) and so I had green tea and a kimchi and vegetable "pizza", which came with an array of vegetarian sides. Ate in moderation (about half of what I ordered) and a few bites of his amazing handmade noodle dish. So good and so filling. No dessert, either. We behaved
Then we ended up walking down through Korea Town to a comedy club, where he had made us reservations to see a 2 hour improv set... This is something I used to do all the time when I was younger and I guess he remembered and found a place in Toronto. Such a great non-food-centered social event for him to pick for us. I was really, really happy and it turned out to be such a perfect night :bigsmile: Im so lucky to have such a supportive boy in my life.
Today's more of a "splurge" day since we were quite good yesterday. Had coffee and oatmeal for breakfast, and then we drove into Toronto again already and stopped by a specialty shortbread store so that he could buy Christmas cookies for his mother and nana... Of course, they offered us free cookies and we accepted. But one cookie won't kill me Stopped for soy lattees on our way back to the car and got another free cookie to share... Moderation? I'm trying... But it's my birthday! We had ice cream planned for lunch already so I think we're going to do that in a bit. And then dinner with the folks tonight. Not a great eating day but not horrendous either since the cookies were small and I will only have the smallest size ice cream. I feel entirely GUILT-FREE for a change, too! Woohooo!! :drinker:
Really a great birthday weekend so far. My boss called from the bar last night just after midnight to wish me a happy birthday from all the bouncers. Apparently they were thinking of me :blushing: Feeling really, really loved today and I couldn't be happier. Thank you to everyone on here for their birthday wishes. It has really made my day, as well. You are all such wonderful people and I am really very happy to have you in my life
Working tonight at 11pm but I will update later with the rest of my birthday tales and to respond to the bulk of your messages. Great work everyone, from what I have seen.

AFM-i did do my 2/2 on the push-ups yesterday as planned!!! Where has everyone else gone on that challenge btw?? I managed to stay under yesterday even with ordering pizza for my sons b-day and having ice cream and cake!! I even stayed under on my sugar which is my challenge this week Today I decided to have a cheat day...it really is my first since joining this site so it was a hard choice to make, and I do not plan on doing it very often at all, and I have a plan to compensate for it before my weigh-in on Wednesday!! How much ever I go over today I will divide between the remaining days before Wed and minus that from my goal and stay under the diff instead!! So I am really hoping that works, at the very least it will make me feel better about my choice!
also a quick fave recipe of mine for a dessert...
Pistachio Jello Salad
1 box sugar free pistachio jello (60 cal)
1 can crushed pineapple (140 cal)
1 tub fat free cool whip (375 cal)
1 12oz container of fat free cottage cheese (240 cal)
1. mix all togethor
2. serve chilled
makes around 6 cups (12 1/2 cup servings) 68calories per serving

its all good Meag!! I figured it was cuz of your b-day weekend and al!!! I will be doing WK4D3 tomorrow and then the exhaustion test on Mon or Tuesday!! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one left!!! 0 -
I've been doing my push-ups. Did all three days of week 1 last week and then only 2 days of week 1 this week (I feel like I've said "week" entirely 2 much in that last sentance). Will be moving on to week 2 and aiming for completing all three days. I'm really feeling stronger even though I still have to huff and puff through my last 2-3 push-ups (think that is kinda the point). Can't wait to have buff arms and shoulders! :bigsmile:0

Thanks Skip and Aly!!!! Rainy/Icy miserable day here. Those 2lbs that appeared out of no where on WI day came off and I lost an actualy 1lb- so close to hitting my 10lb loss mark! YAY!!!!0

Hey Everyone: This is going to be a long post, I’ve been really sick this week so I have a lot of catching up to do. So here goes:
Nancy- great weigh in- 3lbs is HUGE!! WTG!
Guam – Sorry to hear about Disneyland, but awesome on turning it into a positive!!! I’m glad u guys still had a great time . Don’t let the boy give you crap for a whole birthday week- this year I had Birthday Month (I’m kind of a brat about my bday…)
Roobean- Glad you’re still logging in- that’s what counts the most!
Seripha- Good luck with the 4 pack!
Melissa- Hope you get the long run in this weekend, it must be nice to have the TR back!
Aly- You got a lot goin on, but I think you’re making a great decision to be honest in your diary, even when it sux, and really pushing out of your funk. I know you can do it girl!!
Spellbinder- you are really back in it this month WTG!!!
Lou- At the lower weights, it is much harder to make the scale move- I think it’s an accomplishment to keep it there!! I know you can get to 123 by the end of December!! Just remember- try to make treats and cheats earlier in the day (lunchtime or before) – your body has more time to burn it off that way!
Jill- WTG on maintenance- I’m def going to make a mental note to copy some of your diary for future use
Finn: Freaking FABULOUS dress girl!!!! And Awesome going down sizes- it feels great!
Mike- Hope the party was fun!
Meag- Happy Birthday and I’m glad you guilt-free ice cream filled birthday!!:drinker:
Rai- I'm glad you are getting in on the pushups challenge!
Tara (TJ)- Sounds like you have been ROCKING girl. I will be back on the pushups challenge- this week was a bit of a black hole of nothingness for me.
AFM: Sick and feeling gross for most of the week, I am going to try to re-do this week’s workouts- it might be a bit of a challenge because it is supposed to rain through Thursday. I know I don’t need the workouts to keep losing (I’ve been really smart about staying under or near my calories) but I really do want to hit 8m for my long run before the new year. Also, I’m down 1.6 lbs today:noway: - so that’s pretty exciting- I am .4lbs away from being 30lbs down from Jan 1 last year!! So despite the sick and terribleness, it’s been a pretty good week!
Sorry if I didn't catch everyone- Looking forward to another great week with all of you!!
Best,
Gonk0 -
Miss Amy--Congrats on your loss!
Finn--Glad those two lbs bid you farewell!
Gonk--Sorry you were sick this week. Seems to be a lot of that going around. But so great that you were able to lose without being able to do your workouts. And how awesome you are about to hit 30 lbs down! Yay!!
To all you birthday girls and boy--Hope you guys had great weekends!!
AFM--So, I have to say this weekend was a success compared to most of my weekends. I was good on Friday and was under my calories. Yesterday was the bad day, but it wasn't even a bad day--just a bad night. My husband had his holiday party for work which was so much fun. I did have some drinks, but stuck to wine instead of fruity girly cocktails that I normally have that I think have a ton more calories. I know wine isn't good for me, but I feel like it's a little better than a sugary cocktail. I also had finger foods and desserts that were bad. But that was last night and I kept it to last night and didn't carry it over to today. I will be under my calories today. That is pretty awesome for me because usually bad for me leads to more bad and it's a whole weekend thing. I'm fine having one cheat night so I'm super happy with my weekend! I'm wondering if I should weigh myself tomorrow or just wait till Friday and see if the scale moved down. Hmm... I am also super excited because I will be done with fall semester on Tuesday. I plan on taking full advantage of my break and working out like a maniac!0 -
Holy smokes!
9.68 miles today :noway: Took me 1:41:17... What a crazy run!! And I did it all in the rain... Talk about cold and miserable. But I feel amazing and so accomplished. I know I can run this 10 mile race now! :bigsmile:
Heading down to the boy's family's home in Niagara for the evening for dinner and a hangout. Should be a nice cap off to my crazy weekend :happy:
Sorry for being so selfish lately. I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow!

Hey Girls!
I went Christmas shopping and have my bowling league tonight, burned 702 cal I still have over 1000 cal left to eat today :P
I weighed in today, gained 0.6 lbs, so not totally bad but still not a loss 0
