    I'm so frustrated. I've been steadily losing weight and it's all of the sudden stalled over the last week. I know I've lost a lot, BUT I had a baby 5 weeks ago, OF COURSE I've lost a lot quickly. I just don't get why it's stopped when I'm doing everything I have been doing. Like I would understand if I had a cheat day or something, but I haven't!!! Lol. Okay my pity party is over. Tomorrow will be better.

    Lots of great weigh ins and even more great work this week. Keep it up and don't get discouraged...sometimes the body just doesn't know what to do with all this change and tries to hang on to whatever it's got...keep it up and eventually you will move off of a plateau (just keep up the good eating and exercise!) :)

    Yesterday I finally got in a 60 min of running in my treadmill run/walk...8.25 mi in 100 min. Now, my goal is to do it again once at least by next Tuesday. AND, drink all of my water!

    i fianally got back up to my 10 min/mile. still slow, but at least i'm back to my old time. but the scale is not budging, its pretty frustrating!
    so this week i'll keep up with my 10 cups of water
    i'll add a mile to my runs, so that will put me at 5mi - i feel like the 30/40 min runs are not cuttin it anymore ;-(
    more fruits and veggies/ less carbs

    good luck this week all!!

    I just booked a trip to Barbados for my birthday in April. I now have 2.5 months to be bikini ready. If that isn't motivation, I don't know what is!

    I feel awful. I thought maybe since I was just laying around that getting up and doing a light exercise would make me feel better. I'm stupid. I feel ten times worse.

    hey ladies!

    everyone is doing so great! i, unfortunately, think i'm on a plateau. i did pretty well on my trip eating wise/staying active but my weight is up. i swear i've been going up and down the same 2-3lbs for a few weeks now. i'm hoping i can burst through this plateau soon or i'm going to lose motivation. :(

    looking forward to a great workout tonight!

    *hugs* Ashley, I hope you start feeling better soon.

    Rach, those pups are adorable!!

    Hubby has a dr appt tomorrow for his back pain, going on 2weeks straight.. hopefully a few muscle relaxers can fix it. He didn't go to work today b/c of it, nor will he be going tomorrow. He's driving me crazy!!! Why must men act so pathetic while in pain or sick? Just sayin'..

    -No buying fast food!
    -Keep up with the water drinking
    -Don't go crazy at the Girl's night I am hosting tomorrow
    -Workout 6 days this week..

    I would also like to be at my goal for 170lbs by Feb 1st. That means I have 12 days to lose 4 lbs. I think I can do it!

    Rach I am so sorry, my last weigh-in should have been 207.2 not 217.2. That was my bad, apparantly I am used to the bigger numbers. :-)

    I am sorry I haven't been checking in much, work has been insane. I'll check in tonight and catch up on how everyone is doing!

    After my pizza melt down yesterday, I'm trying to stay on track today. I've drank 8 glasses of water, but it doesn't make me feel full... I just have to pee more often! LOL! I've been doing homework since I got home from work at 5:30. Reading for 3.5 hours... my eyes are literally watering they are so tired. So hopefully I will just go to bed now and not snack.

    Is there some kind of prayer I could say, like Oh, Lord, please ... when I wake up at 2am to pee... please give me the courage to not eat a fiber bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On my little journey to a better body I realize that I want to be all around healthier too. A while ago I bought this book "150 Healthiest Foods on Earth". It lists all these foods that are good for the body and how so. They also have "superfoods" listed that are supposed to be awesome for you.

    I have created a little goal for myself. I've decided that I will take one superfood a week, find a recipe and make it. Small step on my way to healthier eating, but it helps to break the cycle of eating the same stuff all of the time. Plus, wouldn't you know it, a ton of fruits and veggies are superfoods. This is totally gonna help bring variety to my diet AND help me consume more veggies than just bell peppers, green beans and salad. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited to start knocking these foods off my list.

    Had to share. Have a great day everyone!

    Weekends are my worst:( I am going to do better this weekend though. I have not been able to make it to the gym but that is no excuse because I have both the wii and workout DVD's so I need to jump on it before it's too late this week! With the way the weather has been with snow and ice and the kids school getting canceled today....uggghhhhh....ok no excuses like my dad always used to tell me as a kid. Tomorrow is going to be a great day!

    Ugh we're moving AGAIN at the end of February and it's stressing me out! Thank goodness we're signing a 12month lease. I'm trying to budget and figure out what needs to come out of which check so that everything gets paid on time. It doesn't help that I'm getting hired on in the middle of February which is going mess with my checks. Hopefully I get hired on a date to where I won't have to go 3 weeks before getting my first company check! And fingers crossed I get a big fat raise! And all this fast food I'm eating isn't helping the budget OR my waist line.

    Hope it gets better for you that is a lot of stress you have going on. You dont need that fast food...

    Well my bf has now gained 20lbs since we started dating and he hates it. (He's a whole 165 at 5'7" btw) He has a little bit of a belly but thats it. I appreciate the fact that he wants to eat better, not only to lose weight but because he feels like crap. He works out of town a lot and constantly eats fast food. I made him a username on here, and starting today he's texting me what he eats and I'm keeping track. It's not exact but it's giving us somewhat of an idea. Plus it's really showing us how horrible those fast food meals are!! He over DOUBLED his sodium yesterday and he definitely felt it!

    Anyway, tracking his calories have me excited about tracking mine again. I had been slacking and getting bored with the whole calorie thing, but now that we're doing it 'together', my motivation is back! It helps that it makes it somewhat of a challenge too, like when we go running together. Anyway, I'm excited! :happy:

    Rach that is an awesome way to help your boyfriend. Look at all the lives you have effected in such a positive way. You should be very proud of yourself that on your journey you have helped so many others.

    My boyfriend is totally health and fitness minded. It makes it so much easier to workout with him and do the meal plans together.

    You are awesome!

    *hugs*

    I'm just glad he's going to try it this way and not go back to his 'corn dog diet' as he calls it. :huh:

    I just completed a 3-day cleanse and I feel great. I also cleaned out my fridge and cabinets of all foolishness. Fruites, Veggies, Fish and Chicken and brown rice and yams for my carbs. I'm so ready for this. Now if I can just get back into my workout schedule together.

    Way to go everyone on the weight loss. Can't wait to weigh in on Monday!

    I have started tracking my cals again consistently this week.
    I noticed I have been letting myself indulge a little too much lately and maybe that explains my month long plateau.

    Congrats to everyone that lost last week. Somehow I missed the thread when it was posted so I am a little late! :laugh:

    Hey gang!

    Rach was kind enough to let me wiggle my way into the group. :P Better late than never, right?

    I'm currently a SAHM of two monsters, aged 5 and 7. They're driving me nuts right now, because of the snow day. BOYS! >.<
    I'm hoping to start cosmetology school in the fall, provided the financial aid gods smile upon me. :) I seem to get a late start on a lot of things. LOL

    I also have an 18yr old stepson (19 soon). His GF *cough* sorry, fiancee *cough* is pregnant, and will make me a step-grandmother in May. I'll be 34!!!! *faint*

    I'm tired of being fat! I've battled it my whole life. Lost a lot in my early 20s, in a very unhealthy way, and put it all back and then some after getting married, kids, etc. I want to be able to keep up with my kids! Actually participate instead of watch from the couch. And with that baby on the way... I'll need to be fast on my feet when he starts crawlin' around! Even with going to school... and working in the future. So many long hours on my feet. Need to lighten the load on the poor things. ;)
