It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me with work, sick kids, and Board stuff. sorry I haven't had the chance to encourage you all and catch up. I'm sending you all happy thoughts for a healthy lifestyle. here are my stats:
Feb 1
159.4
Feb 7
157.8
Feb 14
155.4
Feb 21
156.8
Feb 28
as you can tell my last couple weeks have been horrible. I'm hoping my weigh in is better on Monday!!
have a great day everyone!!0 -
Long time no see. I just read the last few days of posts. Keep up the good work everyone.
The last 3 months feel like a cart going downhill. I feel like time is so busy and going so fast I can't fit everything in that needs to be done. Usually winter seems like a quiet laid back time of the year but not his winter. There just seems to be something going on all the time. I can't believe February ends next week. Where did it go?
I am slowly getting my eating back under my control (my evil twin has been in control since Thanksgiving) And with life so busy I had not taken the time to organize my eating. I am hoping March is a great month for weight loss.
Have a great weekend!

I'm always a few days behind on logging my weight but here it is. Hopefully I'll remember to check back in on the 28th. And I just want to say to you all are extremely motivating and inspiring!0 -
ugh im losing weight and hubby is finding it!
He wont eat healthy for the life of him but he doesn't eat fast food on a daily basis so i give him that. he works graves and that makes things hard I give him that. But he is 6'4 and found out yesterday he weighs 400 pounds. up from 370 ISH about 3 years ago. I don't know what to do he is so hard to please food wise. I don't judge him or anything like that but I have no medical history on his family because he is adopted....and he doesn't go to the doctor. He has been litteraly one time in the 6 years that we have been together. He has never had a physical and he is 32 years old.
ok sorry for the rant but this is something I worry about. Im afraid I will lose him young. i just needed to vent
You don't have to apologize for ranting, that's what the Pals part of MFP is for
and you have totally valid concerns about your husband. Are you able to prepare healthier versions of the foods he likes? When I started changing to a clean diet I really didn't say anything to my family and they didn't notice the changes. My husband is 100% Sicilian and he never noticed when I changed from white pasta to Barilla Plus, he says it seems the same. I also have been using some of the tricks where I puree different vegetables and combine them with a dish so everyone is getting their veggies and they don't even know it! There are many resources out there, one book I like is Deceptively Delicious. I get Clean Eating magazine and I also have the Eat Clean series of books. Good luck and ask your Pals for advice any time 0 -
HI PaLS,
I have been doing the yo yo thing from 139 to 137 all month. Right now I am in the middle with 138. looking forward to starting the 30 day shred on March 1st. Well not actually LOOKING forward to it but it's my goal. Congratulations on all who have made their goal this month. Look forward to the BRU challenges too. That was fun before. Phyljen:laugh:0 -
Morning ladies, hope all is well, see that most are atleast loosing some this month and some already have made the goal so WTG girls.....I have been trying to slowly get a handle back on my eating, hadn't had any dinning out food for 3 days, then went to McDonalds with the kids for icecream after swimming, but I think I deserved a treat. I am at 4354 calories burned so far to the week and I plan on getting a few more in today, so workout wise I think I am ok on that front. My weight has been staying about the same so as I near maintenance I am ok with that....Hope you all enjoy the weekend, talk to you all soon.0

I've regrouped, refocused and recommitted and had a heart to heart talk with myself yesterday after a crazy eat-fest weekend at the beach. You'd have thought being at the beach would have been super motivation to stay on track but NOOOOOO. Not for me.
I'm putting this month behind me and looking forward to the March challenge.0 -

Well, I only lost 2.6lbs, but that is a little over half of the planned loss, and it's not a gain so it will do quite nicely! Slow and steady wins the race 0 -

This is a great article on how different forms of sugar are processed in our bodies. Scroll all the way down to read the Drs. comments, thats the good stuff. I recommend that everyone frequent Dr. Mercola's website often and subscribe to the newsletter. I did the free Nutritional Typing test and downloaded the free cookbook - it's over 300 pages and free!!!

Food-wise, most of last week was too embarassing to log or admit...
As for exercise, I'm starting to make a comeback. Although I missed my yoga on Monday, my run on Tuesday, and my run on Thursday, by Friday I made it to the gym and instead of yoga, I did Thursday's C25k run. Then I did Saturday's run on Sunday, so I would still have a rest day between. And, now I can get back on track this week with my regularly scheduled days.
I know it's the last day of the month today. I'm planning on going to the gym tonight, but I hate evening weigh-ins, so I may try to weigh in again tomorrow... There's no way I made goal this month, but I will be happy with any loss, however small.
55, sorry to hear of your diet-challenged hubby. Mine is pretty similar, but not quite so bad. What I find even more distressing than his being overweight and his poor food choices is the 'lesson' my kids are learning: veggies are yucky. Congratulations on meeting your mini-goal!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: You're ahead of me now, but I will catch up in March, I promise! How is your new exercise routine coming along?0 -

Great job this month! I know not everyone made the 5 lb goal and a few maintained but March is here lets get going :flowerforyou: :drinker:
Ralu19>> We weigh the same!! Horay for us :drinker:
DM>> Thanks He has decided to try to eat through the day instead of eating 6 tacos all at once or 3 hamburgers all at once and have that be his only meal (he works graves and sleeps through dinner since he has to stay up in the day time hours because I work the day shift and school in the day on my days off of work) Its really hard for him to find time to try to balance his meals but over the past 4 days he lost 7 pounds! lol : )
Haha first I had to catch up to you and now you have to catch up with me but I know you can! We are so in this together:glasses:
My workouts have been amazing I have gone 3 times in the past two weeks once on like a thursday and again two days last week and Im going again tonight! working out at the school gym when I put the kids to bed is working out soooo well! Its pretty exciting.0
