Morgan- I'm so glad that you're okay! I've been praying for everyone in your region, and the families who lost loved ones. I'm glad to see that you're back!0

Morgan-Glad to hear you are okay! We've all been praying and will continue to keep you and everyone in our prayers for a quick recovery, so you can all get back to your lives.
The party (son's first birthday) went pretty good, had LOTS of leftovers though (1/2 the people that said would show up didn’t), so we have plenty of leftovers to eat….I even gave some out to the party guest that showed up and still had A LOT left over. Jeremey is doing good, he cried for some of his party. He wasn’t sure what was going on and didn’t like people coming and going and wasn’t sure about most of them.
So, I wake up this morning and hear that Bin Laden has been killed….you know, I’m already sick of hearing about it! I’m sorry to sound so awful, but it happened last night and they just over killed the story like they did the Royal wedding and everything else they over kill.
Hubby and I made it to the Y today, yay!:bigsmile: I got almost an hour in there at the Y…Hubby started having a hard time getting use to the workout, but he went and did some weight lifting first, then came back to the cardio stuff and he said he felt awesome and couldn’t wait to do it again. Keep in mind, he works third shift, so he has a hard time getting a chance to work out, so Sundays when we get to out as a family we walk the parks and stuff, otherwise Mondays are really his only “work out” day he gets. But in the last 2 weeks, he has lost 12 lbs!!!! WTG him!drinker
My newest profile pic is me and Jeremey, the day of his party. We bought him his first pair of sunglasses and he LOVES them! We couldn't get them off of him yesterday, LoL. :drinker:0 -
Morgan - keep us posted.
Barb - loved hearing about Jeremy's birthday party. Brought back some good memories.
Everyone - OK here goes I know it isn't Friday but Yay! :happy: I lost 1.2 pounds! Not my usual 0.2 pounds. Hope it doesn't take me another month to lose the 0.2 pounds to get to my 25 pounds loss. I am at 24.8 pounds. Yes I am the slow but unsteady girl but I am losing and more importantly I am not gaining., which I did for 18 years. And I am getting fitter. I posted a blog about losing and having you update lost on the news feed. :grumble: I just put that 'smiley " in cause I love him - he is so cute. This is really more appropriate.
and this :laugh: . I love MFP and I am not sure it is their fault maybe it is my computer who knows. I didn't change any settings though. Does anyone else get updates on when your pals make friends with each other or when they comment on posts? I am all the sudden getting those. Anyway hugs all. :flowerforyou: :drinker: 0 -
Keri - yay on the 1.2lbs......Sooooooooooo close now
I don't get those....not sure what you did, but I'd sure like to, feel like I have to do a lot of work right now to get that information on my friends.
AFM - today's my heavy exercise day
Heading out for my walk shortly - it's a little chilly, but at least it's light out. Then I go home and mow the lawn for the first time of the season (it's like 5 inches, but it's been raining so tough to do) and then aquafit!!!! And the best part is that I really feel like doing it all today. I've already done 3 circuits of my 5 calisthenic exercises (I do them everyday and don't usually count them, it only takes 5 minutes, but I usually put it off until after work). 0 -
2011 SW: 241.8
Week 13 EW: 236.1 (+1.5 lbs)
Week 14 EW: 231.7 (-4.4 lbs)
Week 15 EW: 232.4 (+0.7 lbs)
Week 16 EW: 230.4 (-2.0 lbs)
Week 17 EW: 228,8 (-1.6 lbs)
Week 18 EW: 227.7 (-1.1 lbs)
I was challenged this week because of my sinus cold. I've been aggressively going after it this week (but had to miss aquafit last night because it was going like a faucet!!!!) I might make it up with aqua Zumba on Saturday morning if it is better. This thing better clear up because I have to go out of the country in 2 weeks and I really don't want to end up in an ER (Sinus things for me usually do - the fact that it's really clearing out because of the aggressive treatments gives me hope!)
Hope everyone else has a great week!!!0 -
No one else is weighing in??0

Hey Pam.
I weigh in on Saturday mornings now, I was doing Fridays, but I find out Saturday is easier since its the end of my week, I go Sunday-Saturday, not sure what everyone else does. So I will post my WI on Saturday.
Okay, so yesterday, I didn’t realize how much stress I was holding in until I went on my bike ride after I got done with my running around and paying bills. I had about 2 hours before my daughter got home from school and before I picked up my lil man from daycare. At first I was gonna get on the exercise bike , but it was nice out and I was kid free, so I decided (since I don’t have a bike trailer for the lil one to ride in) I would go on my own bike ride. By the time, I got my Pandora radio on my android phone and I started riding, I realized when I got home, I had gone 6.6 miles. So, I came home, took a cold shower, and got dressed and got back outside and my daughter’s bus was here. Then we went to the park, she played for about 30-45 mins, then we went walking and walked 1.5 miles, so yesterday, I had gone 8.1 miles of exercising in! Wow! I was pooped when I got home. I didn’t mention the other good part, on the way home, we picked up Subway. I tried that sweet onion chicken teriyaki (it was featured on BL Tuesday night) and OMG! I feel in love with a new sandwich! It was so yummy! I ended up getting another today while I went out and walked another 1.5 miles with my mom at the park today. Hopefully, will have a good WI on Saturday.0 -

Whoops, I did weigh in yesterday but completely forgot to share it I had a huge loss over the weekend because I was sick and so was a little disheartened on Monday when I put 3lbs back on. This view helps me put it in perspective though I'm still losing every week and I will continue to lose every week because I'm committed to being accountable to myself!!!
I am on a business trip next week which is a whole kind of challenge I haven't had to face before. The hotel I'm staying at offers a free breakfast and it's got lots of choices so I'm not too worried there. But I have no idea about lunches or dinners. I'm probably going to do the fast food thing a lot just because I'm by myself for the most part. I don't know if it'll be all bad because I should have access to a gym (with a scale) so I'll be able to do a bit of work outs - in fact I think I'll pack resistance bands just to be on the safe side. I have a routine I can do in a hotel room......but not having a scale would be a bad thing. I then go from hotel to hotel to go to my sister's graduation for her Masters of Education. I probably won't be home from Sunday until Saturday, which is exciting, but scary too. I haven't been away from my husband for that long in at least 6 years.....and then I was travelling with a work friend (who coincidentally will be there too this time, but at a different hotel and for a different reason)......0 -
Some good progress shown earlier. I checked in on Friday to see but wasn't able to post and didn't have much to post anyway. Yay Kami I hope your half way mark comes soon. I hope you have a great trip Pam and congrats on your steady loss. Well not only did I have a loss but it didn't disapear. By that I mean that the update didn't disapear from the newsfeed. With the 1.2 before and this 1.8 I am where I want to be in finally starting to lose about a pound a week since it took more than a week to see this next loss. This means I have finally cracked the 25 pounds which was a psychological barrier somehow to me. I think I feel that if I can get to this weight below the one I was when I moved back to Seattle I can lose the weight I gained when I was not so happy in Texas. I always thought I would when I moved back and started to and hit some issues at work that bothered me. Some jealous colleague issues. Anyway I have more than lost my commuters weight and am on with the rest. That somehow feels like real progress to me. I am not sure why but it does. There is another watershed now as well since I am feeling that going to school full time is not the right thing anymore. I have taken the courses I came for and a few more. My daughter needs me to help with these last year+ of High School. They are cutting her AP Calculus BC course for next year. So after this push for the end of the quarter I will be doing some redirection. If I go back to school it will be because there are still no jobs out there and I will have a plan for a complete revamp not just updating and adding to the skillset I have. I feel a blog coming on but I am too busy for now but wanted to check in with all of you.0

I know I was the last to post but it just hit me I no longer have 100 pounds to lose. I am not sure what I posted on here as my goal weight. But if I lost 100 I would be under my ideal weight of 137. I think that is a milestone. Kami saw that you just lost. If you haven't made the halfway mark you must be so close.0

Hey all,
I weighed in on Saturday and forgot to post results, well, I gained 1.2 lbs, ugh! Either its water weight or muscle, I'm hoping. Oh well, trying this week, but I've been really bad with the soda this week, so I'm expecting another gain....trying to overcome the craving of soda, but its really hard when my MIL has a lot of it upstairs and I"m craving it, ugh!!!:grumble: C'mon will power, where did you go? I need some help!0 -
Okay guys... I've lost 64 lbs now... just one more for halfway! I'm with you, Keri, in that I no longer have 100 lbs to lose. 66 to go. I'm excited about it, but nervous as well. It's not coming off nearly as fast as it used to. I'm tired, and I recently had my doctor put me back on antidepressants. Hopefully that will help my motivation.0
-
Barb, maintain till you get that motivation back. Maintaining actually continues the slimming with exercise and it gives ou a break when you need it. Kami I can't wait till you hit the halfway mark but no pressure. Take it at its own time and Good for you for taking care of yourself. Hugs to all. Hope Pam's trip is going well.0

Nice loss their Carol!!!0

Woo hoo, Victory for me today, NO soda!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Weigh in tomorrow morning, hoping for a loss!!0 -
Great Barb! hope you see that loss. I am in the last weeks of the quarter now so although I would like to see a loss I will be looking to maintain. Will be stepping up with this after quarter ends. I do not see any classes I need for now and the funding for the program I was in was cut so I will be concentrating on 1) parenting. My daughter will be applying to colleges next year. 2) exercise and weight loss 3) finding a job 4) making healthy dinners and getting our home in shape. For now back to homework.0

2011 SW: 241.8
Week 16 EW: 230.4 (-2.0 lbs)
Week 17 EW: 228,8 (-1.6 lbs)
Week 18 EW: 227.7 (-1.1 lbs)
Week 19 EW: 226.0 (-1.7 lbs)
Week 20 EW: 229.1 (+3.1lbs)
So I didn't weigh in on Friday - no scale, but as of this morning (my first day home) I was a little suprised that it was as low as it is
I was expecting far worse. I didn't get in one bottle of water the whole week, I missed lunch most days and dinner was a hit or miss. The only thing I wanted was candy 
Next week will be better! I'm home, back into my routine and doing what I need to do to get what I want!!!0 -
Glad to see you are back and yes all will be well now that you are home and in your groove. I do not think you will have trouble getting those pounds off and starting back making progress. I hope it was a great trip.0

Wanted to share this with everyone. Check this out, its Dr Oz's fast food diet, for those of us that are on the run, whether it be one day a week or all week, this can work, he had two ladies on the show that did this diet for 1 week and each other them lost 1 lb/day!
http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/dr-ozs-fast-food-diet0 -
I'm not a fan of Dr. Oz. In February I saw one of his shows where he said that the HCG diet is safe. I lost all respect for him that day.0
-
I keep seeing banner adds with him claiming programs to lose way too much weight too fast. My friend says he has a great recipe for inside out burgers. So I guess take waht is good and throw out the rest.0
-
I think its the same as everything else. Listen to what he says but then do your research and make your own informed decision. He seems to come up with a different weight loss plan every week and so Im not sure how much of what he says is actually based on medical facts and what is healthiest and what hes just being paid to say and promote. Its the same as most other celebrity endorsers....I think I heard Jillian Michaels once say something about how she would never use her own products because they were crap....LOL0

Me weigh in is tomorrow, hopefully there's been a little loss....since I had my no soda week challenge, I think I've been doing pretty good this week. Hoping for a good weigh in....0
