Jan 01: 204.0 lbs
Jan 03: 203.0 lbs
Jan 10: 201.1 lbs
Jan 12: 198.8 lbs :bigsmile: Woohoo! I'm in ONEderland AND I hit 50 lbs lost today! HAPPY DANCE!
Finally I hit the goal for the month (5.2 lbs) and we're not even halfway thru yet! Its been awhile since I met this challenge! :blushing:
I'm finally over the food poisoning I think. It wasn't fun. I finally ate "normally" yesterday. I still had somewhat of a stomach upset & headache yesterday, but I'm good to go today! I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but hey it helped me to get to ONEderland! I was down even more yesterday, but decided to wait till today to get a more realistic weight after I ate normally. :laugh:
And yes, Bru - I'm sorry, but I did beat you to 50, not that I was trying. HOWEVER I did start out weighing more than 5 lbs over what you started at. So basically I'd say we are EVEN! I finally caught up to YOU! Now we can REALLY continue on this downward trend TOGETHER! :bigsmile: :drinker: :flowerforyou:
Randi -- great weigh in! That must have you jumping for joy! :bigsmile:
And congrats to everyone else on your achievements this week! Its going to be a FABULOUS 2011! :drinker:0 -
Bru-
Maybe you could host a healthy eating dinner party with a few friends once you run out of healthy food. Have everyone bring over a fav healthy dish... "pot luck style" that way you can share ideas and have a healthy meal. Maybe even get some left overs out of the deal. Just an idea that came to me while reading your post, but get creative and see what you can come up with so you can still eat right. (I would love to invite each and every one of you over to watch Biggest Loser together and see you all face to face, sad we are all over the place, but that is what got me thinking about it, I was like "come eat with me at my house" but the plane ticket would be more than the food shopping trip would be :laugh: )
Thanks for the help, however, I will sound like such a loner now, I have but VERY few friends and they are almost all guys who would rather not,out of the few chick friends I have, only one would actually do it. BUT: hubby got his check one day early, so we were able to get food in the house, yay!! Not a lot, but enough to get us through til next Fri
I am having Chicken Marasala with a spinach salad tonight and I plan on making homemade broccoli soup tomorrow for lunch 0 -
I'm in, lets see what happens.....
Will post SW on Sunday 16/01/11...0 -
Still lurking around, but very little healthy progress to report. I'm still coughing, and starting to wonder if it's bronchitis again (I had it last year around this time). To top it off I've had a headache/migraine off and on over the last two days (not much fun with the coughing). Still feeling blah - glad to hear I'm not the only one, Alioth.
DH is away, so I'm on the hook for all of the kids care this week. My study group started tonight for a professional certification prep course, so I asked a friend of the family to come over to watch the girls for a few hours. I signed my 5 year old up for ballet classes - very cute! I was looking into summer soccer programs, and was jokingly thinking that my 2 year old would enjoy it more than my 5 year old; and as it turns out, I can actually sign them both up to play! Might as well start the good habits early? Although at this age, I think it's more about trying out several different activities to see where their interests / abilities lie.
I've been peeking on my home scale, and I think I'm holding steady, so I'm happy enough about that, as I haven't been exercising at all lately.0 -
jen........ haha that coment made me have a short laugh out loud! love it :happy: And I am happy to report I have NOT had a soda today!!!:drinker: :drinker: yay
Kintegra........:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Congratulations!!!!!! I am so happy for you. Glad to see that your back on track and doing really really well! :happy: And I compleetle agree with you 2011 Is going to be an AMAZING Year
dm.......I am sorry your so sick:frown: That sucks. I hope you start to feel better soon. good luck and well wishes. we are thinking of ya0 -
Yeey!! Now i've lost my 5lbs If i can do it we all can do it!:smooched: 0

Good morning! Well the good news is that I managed to get a bit of exercise this morning, the bad news is that it was shoveling snow! Blech! I should have asked hubby to give me a lesson with the snow blower before he went away. I only shovelled enough to ensure I could get out of the driveway safely.
Kelly - that's awesome about getting to ONEderland!! What a great milestone to celebrate! (with non-food items, of course)
Terri - I hope your son is doing better at school. It's so hard to read their minds; hopefully he'll open up and let you know what's going on soon.0 -

kintegra>> Congrats on Onederland!!!
You guys are doing awesome! Keep going! Brrr. It's so cold though. I'm glad the sun is out today, but I'm ready for a thaw. The wind cuts right through me. I'm going home to visit family for the weekend. I will probably gain weight eating my mother's cooking. On the plus side, I will visit the YMCA and my neglected friend, Mr. Elliptical.0 -
KIntegra - WAY TO GO!!! congrats on reaching onderland!! and 50lbs thats awesome!
Congrats to everyone else on their losses too. I'm down 1lb so far this week, but I haven't gotten to exercise near as much as I would like to this week, but keeping up with the food logging. I'm in grad school and classes start this week, so i'm doing all I can to stay on track, but I have to find time to get some exercise in...somehow somewhere!0 -
Thank you everyone for the praise and congrats!! I am very excited and can't wait to see where this phase of my journey takes me. I am so proud of all of you who have had success in this challenge already this month.
Kelly, I know how it feels to say hello to Onederland!! Don't stop- keep up the good work, we are all here cheering you on.
Terri, I am so glad to hear your son is making progress. When he sees that everyone around him is willing to help he will have so much more confidence!
Bru, I am sending you good food vibes... hopefully they will turn the bad stuff into good stuff!!!
Jenn, Can I just say you brighten everyday I read one of your posts?
Dm, LOL My daughter played her first season of soccer as a 3 yr old. She was more interested in picking dandylions and hugging the coach than she was about actually going after the ball. Needless to say she didn't paly again until she was 6.0 -
Count me in.0

Hubbys check cleared a little early, so YAY for grocery shopping!! LOL!! Making homemade broccoli and cheese soup YUM! 0

My phone interview went really really well. I have a contingent job offer for a contract job starting next week. After 20 months of unemployment, I am thrilled! Its going to be a major adjustment to work and exercise but I know I can do it.0

Thanks everyone for always cheering me & everyone else on here! This is such a wonderful support system! :bigsmile:
Congrats to everyone on all your successes with the scale this week! WOW we are all Smokin! :smokin:
For those of you sick and/or covered in snow/ice - I hope it all ends for you soon! :flowerforyou:
Also - congrats on the job, Robin! :drinker:
My wonderful little neice called me yesterday to see if I was busy tomorrow night, because her school is having a ski outing and she asked me to go ski with her! I used to be an instructor, but haven't actually went skiing in 11 years - because, you know...well FAT HAPPENS! :laugh: I got my old ski pants out - size LARGE - fit me just fine with lots of room for layering! YAHOO! :bigsmile: I'm SO excited to go!!! My brother is going too, but he hasn't decided if he is going on the slopes with us because he sold all his ski equipment. I'm trying to get him to just rent some equip so we can have fun! :bigsmile:0 -
have a great time Kelly. I am jealous.0

Well, I didn't lose much this week but I did start exercising again. My legs are so sore, I can barely walk today! I haven't gotten my eating under control yet, either. The antibiotics I'm taking are tearing up my stomach and messing with my blood sugars. I've been having more low blood sugars causing me to eat more calories to raise it back up. I think it is also TOM. Not sure because I got Mirena IUD a couple months ago and have been VERY irregular since. I have a busy day planned! Not gonna exercise because my legs hurt so bad. I have to have lunch with my aunt and I'm not sure yet where we are going. I am gonna try to plan for a healthy meal! I also have several other errands to run today.
Classes started on Monday and I am finishing up my last semester of school. I should be receiving my bachelor's in Social Work in the spring. YAY!!! So far, I have had a TON of homework this week! I didn't miss school while I was not attending!!! My mom was a social worker and I'm sad she won't see me earn my degree.
Congratulations to everyone who had losses this week!0 -
OMG....I know this is my first month on MFP and I also know that losing is easier in the start because the water weight comes off.....BUT I am still thrilled that I have met and exceeded my January Goal!!!!

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!0 -
Holy cow, I'm super impressed that we're not even halfway through the month, and there are some of you who have already reached your 5 lb goal! I guess now the challenge for you guys is to a) keep it off until Jan 31, and b) lose even more!! Great work at inspiring the rest of us!!
Barty, wow! First, happy MFP anniversary, and second, I am totally impressed with your weight loss. I find I make excuses for myself, like 'oh, I don't have as much to lose so it's harder', or 'a healthy BMI seems way too low', or 'it's the pregnancies fault', etc. But, I started around where you started, mid-160's, and more than a year later, I'm still in the 150's... And look at you, under 120!!! May I ask how tall you are? I'm 5'2", and the middle of the healthy BMI range for me would be exactly where you are. And more importantly, HOW did you do it? What are your best tips? How did you stay motivated to keep at it, week after week?
Randi, loved your soccer story! My prediction is that my 5 year will be the one picking dandelions, and my 2 year old will be plowing everyone over on the field yelling "kick ball!"...
Bru, the soup sound yummy! Enjoy!
Robin, best of luck with the contract! Won't it be great to get that first pay check?!
Kelly, have a great time skiing!
Tina, enjoy your weekend away.
Shelli, hugs for you!! :flowerforyou:
As for me...
With hubby away, I caved and brought my girls to McDonald's for supper last night. Bad me. Then after the kids were in bed, I watched 2 episodes of "The last 10 pounds bootcamp", and even though I had the munchies, I couldn't bring myself to eat any more crap while watching a show about losing weight! So, boo for the bad choices at McD's, but yay for showing some restraint later on.
My coughing is starting to subside. I packed my gym clothes to go to a yoga class at lunch. It's a start. :ohwell:0 -

Woot Woot, one more pound to go for my pre-holiday weight 0 -
Wow, everyone has their game on this month and is dropping the weight. Congrats!
I'm starting off slow for some reason. Having a hard time getting back in the groove. I'm hitting my calories just fine but not being able to exercise heavy is bumming me out. Since I took time off last month, I thought me knees would be better but I'm back to square one again - no running. Walking even hurts. Uggh. I'm still doing strenght training but I'm the type of person that exercise and eating healthy go hand in hand so I'm struggling.
Good news is it's Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend. 0 -
Are you ****ing kidding me, MIKE?!?! Second time I lost a long post! :explode:0

I had a reply to each and every one of your posts! I had a little high five for all of you and lots of funny little comments (at least I thought they were funny) and again as I hit post reply it got lost somehow! Darn it. I would retype it all but I should really get SOME work done today... maybe I can come back later. From now on I am going to type in word and then copy and paste!
1/3..........160.2
1/6..........157.6
1/14........154.10 -
