Lots2Lose & over 40 (CLOSED GROUP)

Good morning all.
Tuesday Test: My biggest overall challenge is staying motivated. Lately, with so much support from all of you, my family and friend (the select few who know I'm trying to loose weight), it's been a lot easier to stay motivated. Also, the small successes I've enjoyed, such as the smaller jeans from my closet and being able to do a really long walk, have been motivating in and of themselves. It amazes me though, that there are still days that I struggle to stay on my plan.
One consistent problem I have is that pesky inner voice in my head that is so very critical. Even after that six mile walk on Sunday, that voice was beating me up about how slow I walked compared to some of the others in the group, and how I had the hardest time going up the hills. So I think my next challenge is to work on that inner voice. I am doing a phenomenal job working on a tremendous undertaking. That in itself is reason for me to be proud. I'm going to work on re-programming that voice. Even if I can't silence it, I can certainly turn the volume down!
Have a great week everyone!

Hey there Katzpawz! Why are we so hard on ourselves? You did fabulous with your endurance! That is my goal...endurance. Six miles is terrific and dont you let that little voice tell you any different. Great job.0 -

Leave the land of make-believe.
Are you sitting in the land of make-believe, waiting for a handsome prince to rescue you from your problems? Are you wanting to be freed from the castle tower, but don't know how to get out without a fairy godmother or a night in shining armor?
No matter what your challenge, no matter what is holding you back, you can set yourself free if you put your heart and mind to it. The reality is you can rescue yourself.
Action for the day: Identify a problem today that has you feeling trapped or hopeless. Then, take some real action toward resolving your problem--even if it's just a small action.0 -
Good morning everyone. I have a question....
Why do we give such great advice/encouragement/motivation to others and yet we don't do it for ourselves? I have decided (thank you Katzpawz) that from now on, if I find that I'm beating myself up over something, I am going to stop and think, "what would I say to a friend in the same situation?" Then, I'm going to take my own advice!
We work very hard for our accomplishments and yet I, for one, never think I've done enough. I think if we work on being as good to ourselves as we are to others, we just might change our opinions of ourselves and maybe even motivate ourselves to keep going!!
I hope everyone has a stellar day :glasses:0 -

Fabulous idea!! I'm right there with you!!0 -
Hey All….So just found out the job is a no go, they needed someone with more manager experience which I totally understand. I knew going in that I did not have all the qualifications. On a positive note they did stress that they loved me and if a more Jr position opened up they would call me directly. I don’t hate my current job by any means so no plans to look.
I think I have done well this last week really paying attention to my diet and doing lots more cardio in my workouts. I have avoided the scale so we will see what tomorrow shows. Thanks for all the support and kind words. Together we will conquer these dreaded extra pounds.
So I have made it thru page 11…I’ll be back later to check more (should get some work done)
@Kelly…6+ miles is amazing and what a burn, you deserved that extra calorie lunch. Woohoo on being down a pants size
@Jackie…the number one tip for losing weight (for me) is watching the diet; if I don’t keep the calorie intake and portions under control I don’t lose weight. Nothing fancy. I think you cancelled out the 300 call with the hilly walk; since I don’t run I try and make sure to include hills in my walks; the intervals will help burn those calories.
@Karen…Sundays are for sleeping in! LOL..on the mud pie comment, bet you were a sight. When I owned my own place, Lowes and Home Depot where my favorite places, now that I rent again I don’t visit them nearly enough. WooHoo on the tax refund!
@Charmaine…Beer is also my downfall when I go out; I just try and plan for it.
@Jolene…WooHoo on shredding those 5lb. Glad to hear you can get back to work; hope it all goes well.
@Sheri…I go to the gym straight from work; if I go home first, forget about it; I get distracted and then never make it back out of the house.
@Claudia…amazing NSV
@Mollie…If I go up in weight I give myself a week to correct it (match my ticker); if that does not occur I change it the next week. Helps keep me accountable and to work harder the next week. I know how frustrated you are. I have been bouncing between 275-278 for about 4 months now, very frustrating, I just don’t give up, change my diet around and keep exercising! I am hoping this week will show me below 275 (fingers crossed).
A walking group…I will have to look into that, a wonderful idea, if Spring ever comes to North Carolina!0 -
Hello All
Boy, didn't know how bad I had been feeling over the last few days until I started taking the antibiotics! Within a short period my energy has returned (I have been sleeping most of the last few days and finding it hard to get out of bed). Amazing what a little water infection can do! :noway:
Good news! I am down by 0.9lb this week! Not quite a pound but what it does do is take me to over my 20lb loss!!!!!!!:drinker: So I have updated by signature already. It is good news since I did go over calories 2 days!
Hope everyone is well. I need to read everyones post from last few days as I read them with glazed eyes and almost fell asleep on the keyboard whilst doing so!
Shelly: You are a star and it is their loss re the job. Very nice to be head hunted and to be 'liked' x0 -
Tuesday Testing Yourself day- what are you challenging yourself to do for the next week /how did last weeks challenge go (Foe ex: give up diet coke for the week, or get up earlier to exercise, etc...)
Sorry, didn't really enter into this end of last week/now due to lack of energy re my previous post x0 -
Hi everyone,
Tuesday - well I've fallen off the exercise wagon (bike!), it's time to get back on it again. I overdid it yesterday and now my hip hurts. so today will be a gentler ride.
@ everyone - thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me :blushing:
@ Claudia - That vacation looks like a blast! I've been to Vegas 3 times and can't wait to go back. I love the sight-seeing and the food! OMG! Stay away from the Brazilian steakhouse at Mandalay Bay
@ Christy - I only drink bottled spring water. I can't stand tap and the filter we bought didn't change the taste at all.
@ Katz - Chica! 6 Miles!!!!! I'm so jealous, there's no way I could walk that far. Hold your head up over your accomplishment. Stuff that inner voice in a locked box in your mind and feel good about yourself. If necessary write down your accomplishments and see them in black and white. That should shut the voice up. Also congrats on the smaller jeans, that has to feel good!
@ L - I hate those kinds of infections! Glad to hear you're feeling better. 20lbs!!!! yay!!!!! Looks good on the ticker :flowerforyou:
@ Mollie - I have the same problems getting in more than 1200 calories a day, I'm so focused on my sodium levels and noticed that when I try to eat less than 2000mg a day, my caloric intake goes down drastically. I'm not hungry so I'm not worried about it. We'll see what the scale says.
@ malias - don't worry about the length of your posts, I don't think anyone else is!
@ Shelly - being head-hunted is one of the best compliments in the world!
@ Cathy - where are you staying in Vegas? When are you going????
I know I missed people, but I do read each and every post and gain strength from every woman here. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are an amazing group and I'm so glad to be part of it.
If anyone here is on Facebook and wants to friend send me a message, k?
Have a sunny Tuesday (no matter the weather!)0 -
Daily Inspiration for March 22, 2011
Katie Jay, MSW
Exercise.
Perhaps you would prefer not to exercise. It takes time, it's hard, and you don't like to sweat. But even though you can think of a thousand excuses why you do not want to (or think you can't) exercise, you know in the long run it will make you feel better.
At first, exercise can feel like torture, but if you stay vigilant you will find you become stronger and have more energy. Exercise also relieves stress. Working out your tensions with sweat helps to unburden your soul. And you just might find yourself feeling more cheerful. Prioritize exercise like you prioritize brushing your teeth, drinking water, or taking your medicine. For long-term weight loss success and maintenance, it is as essential.
Action for the day: In your journal, make a list of activities you like to do that involve moving your body. These activities do not have to be formal exercise. Pick one activity and do it today.
thanks for sharing, this is great0 -
Hello all....sorry its so late. I could only get on for a couple minutes at a time today. Monday check in...I weigh on Mondays to keep myself on track over the weekend. I lost 4.2 lbs this week!
Congrats again on the AWESOME loss this week!!! You are doing super great!!!0 -
Hi everybody,
Off to dinner with my two bestest friends for chicken wings and beer.
Sounds delish!!1 Hope you enjoyed it!!!0 -
Hello all....sorry its so late. I could only get on for a couple minutes at a time today. Monday check in...I weigh on Mondays to keep myself on track over the weekend. I lost 4.2 lbs this week!
Am having a difficult time getting in exercise though. The weight loss is great but I really want to increase my endurance so I can walk for longer distances. Tomorrow I am going to try the SYTYCD exercise video for beginners!
I feel like my posts are so short compared to others. I feel bad that I dont comment on each and every one of your successes and my only reason is, I can only get online for short snippets of time! Just know that I try to read as much as I can and wish you all the greatest success!
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It really is nice to have others who truly understand because they have been there. Have a nice night ladies. Tomorrow is another day.....
WOW 4.2 lbs is great congrats. I know what you mean about wanting to increase the endurance. You will get there. And dont worry about the short posts the important thing is that you check in . It is great to have such an encouraging , motivating group , but we understand that some of us are busy with life or sometimes things come up and you only have enough time for a quick check in0 -
MJ - I forgot to say, I struggle with having too many calories left at night too. I think I'm afraid of running out of calories before I run out of day. Having my big meal at night is a hard habit for me to break.
I am that way too - scared that I will have several hours left and no calories remaining for food. As if not eating for a few hours would be such a bad thing!!! Thank you both Jolene and Cathy for sharing your experiences/thoughts on the calorie question with me!!!0 -
Hey All....have not made it on since Sunday afternoon so hope everyone is doing well. I have been logging food/exercise and looking/responding to messages on my home page but that is about it :yawn:
I am hanging in there, just busy with no days off. I'll try and catch up later today...Hugs to All!
Glad you could find the time to check in. Hope you have a good week and it is not quite so busy. Glad you are still logging your food/exercise .0 -

Katz, you are doing great!!! I am impressed by the 6 miles - that is definitely something to celebrate. I have the same problem with the inner voice in my head and it is a killer!!! We always seem to be our own worst enemies. If I had a nickel for every time my own negative self-talk sabotaged my efforts or took the wind out of my sails, I would have a whole pile of nickels! :laugh:
Just remember that you are special and you are doing this - no matter what your mini-me says!!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -

I had to laugh because that is exactly how I feel , I dont want to be caught with a few hrs left in the day and no calories. That would be horrible. What not having the calories left to allow me to be able to eat would only make me hungrier and make me want to eat everything in the house. If I have the calories left I am not as likely to be hungry . LOL0 -

Hang in there and keep logging! Check in with the group when you can, but make tracking your food/exercise the priority. Hopefully that will help you keep taking care of you as your main priority!
Cheers,
katzpawz
Shelly, I agree with Katz! There will be times when one or a few of us are too busy with "life" to check-in and post as much as we would like. The important thing is knowing that we are thinking of and supporting each other even if we are not "here" on the thread as much as we would like. You are doing great!!! :flowerforyou:0 -

Positive self talk is a hard one, but the more you practice it the better you will feel about the whole process. We can re-program ourselves to find the positive in any situation. This brings us peace of mind and makes the journey a pleasant one. This does not mean their will be times we will struggle but if we look for the positives we will get past the bumps in the road without giving up. I am pleasantly suprised at how good I feel this month even though I have gained weight this month and have definitely been struggling. I am looking at all the positives and rejoicing in the many NSV's. That takes my mind away from the let down of scale moving in the right direction.
The more you practice postive self talk the easier it becomes. Keep up the good work everyone! We can do this! One day at a time, one pound at a time......:-)
[/quote]
You got that right Ms. Mollie!!! It is so hard. It is amazing how good were are at encouraging others and taking care of them but not good at nurturing ourselves or caring for our own needs. I wonder if it is a woman thing - being the care-giver and not the care-taker?0 -
Tuesday Testing Yourself day- what are you challenging yourself to do for the next week /how did last weeks challenge go (Foe ex: give up diet coke for the week, or get up earlier to exercise, etc...)
I am challenging myself to make it to the gym on mon, weds and fri and do walking on tues and thurs. Last weeks challenge went pretty good. I think monday is the only day last week I didnt workout. Hopefully this week the scales will reflect all my hard work.....
Katz . ..... I know what you mean about fighting the inner voices. Why do we do that to ourselves. Try to look at all your accomplishments and tell that negative voice " If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all "
gabby, ....sorry to hear you didnt have a good week. But glad to hear you are back on track. The pedometer should help
Claudia....thanks for the recipe....YUM
Mollie....Let us know how it goes at the weight management group
Hope everyone has a good day. Stay active, track your calories and look at the positives and tell that inner voice to SHUT UP0 -
L, glad you got some treatment for your infection! Bet you will be back in good form in no time now!
Malias, that is a wonderful suggestion! You are so right - I would never talk to a friend, probably not even an enemy - they way I beat up on myself verbally! Must do better!
Sue, take it easy today. Don't want you burning out and really injuring yourself!
My Tuesday Test is to 1) try to think only positive thoughts about my journey and 2) if that does not work, stop myself as soon as possible in my negative thoughts and re-direct them to something more positive.
Have a great afternoon ladies. I will do my best to catch up with you this evening/tonight. With any luck, after I get home, I will be working out, then cooking dinner, then cleaning out the master closets, then playing Lego Harry Potter - I am a told 12 year old sometimes. And getting on MFP somewhere in all that0 -

I so relate to that! It's a bit like my attitude to money (I don't have what I can't afford)0 -
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day
Tuesday Test:
Last Thursday I started the 30day shred which is only about 25minutes. I plan to do this everyday (Sunday's off) up through my vacation. That would put me at 25 days. I'm also doing my run/walk/jog with this and hope to get some results (fingers crossed). The hotel we are staying at charges a 'resort fee' to their daily fees, which includes free access to their fitness center, so I am looking forward to using all the equipment! When we went to Vegas last year, we stayed at a hotel that charged a $20/day fee to use their fitness center, so I am happy that fee is included regardless of weather we use it or not.
On a side note, over a year ago I slipped on some water in my kitchen and hurt my knee. It doesn;t bother me to run or walk, but it does when putting it in certain positions, such as sitting cross-legged on the floor. But today it's really bothering me! I think it has to do with the fact that I am freezing at work! I had a little heater I kept under my desk, because these guys like to keep it at 30 below zero in here. Yesterday it died on me and I was seriously uncomfortable all day. Now today my knee is achey and I don't like it. The warmer it gets outside, the colder it gets inside.0 -
Hello,
I have had the maddest, busiest couple of days, sorry I didn't check in yesterday, I just logged my food and read all the posts on here before I turned in.
The house is quiet again and I can once more join my ladies on here!
L*** So glad you are feeling better, water infections make you feel lousy. Hopefully tomorrow you'll feel more like yourself now the antibiotics are in your system.
Mellisa*** Harry potter lego!! You have hidden depths (or a child to play with!) Hope you manage to sort "the masters" closet.
Sherri*** You are doing amazingly well with the gym/workout challenge, I had to read your post twice as I thought I had misread how much you do in a week...go girl!
Claudia**** Yay for Vegas, I went there a few years ago, stayed at The Venetian and just had a ball! I bet you will look amazing in all those dresses, what a wonderful feeling to have to take them in!
Kelly*** that inner voice, I have that one, it tells me that because I don't lose weight easily then why am I bothering. I am practising turning the volume down too. You should be incredibly proud of yourself walking 6 miles with hills, we're proud of you.
Sue*** I am on face book, (Joanna Baines) if anyone would like to add me. I do use it a lot as my parents and one of my brothers is in Malta and my other brother lives in Australia
Christy*** I don't "do" tap water either! I go one further and don't like my water chilled! I have taken to carrying a 1ltr bottle of water with me, I don't need to do weights anymore
Mollie*** I think that the ticker is a personal thing. I know that if I get a week that I put on , then I will wait one week before changing it. That in itself will motivate me to make so I see the figures going the right way.
Antone I have missed then big hugs of encouragement to you x0 -
Ok...so i went for lunch with Olivia(my eldest daughter) we had gone out shopping for her as she needed shoes etc.
We are in ASK, I would normally have had the garlic pizza followed by pasta, followed by a chocolate pudding.
Today (low carb) I had the mushrooms, chefs salad , dressing on the side (ate the protein but didn't much fancy fancy the lettuce and stuff as I got full. then had one mouthful of her dessert and felt quite satisified. Hurrah I think my taste buds have changed at last also my appetite has definitely shrunk. Though I think before i mistook thirst for hunger as I barely drank anything.
My Tuesday achievement is that I drink constantly now.
Don't think I have lost anything this week though...tomorrow is the day!0 -

Great food choices Jojo! I do the same thing with thirst/hunger. I am going to set a goal for myself this week to drink 5 bottles of water per day. I will work my way up to 8. Thanks for the inspiration! :flowerforyou:0 -

:explode: I think we all need to remember (including me) that NO FOOD IS FORBIDDEN, we just need to moderate and account for the higher calorie foods and maybe have smaller portions then we would of in the past. Plus have those foods less frequently then we would have previously. Me personally…I will NEVER give up Carbs, Cheese, Beer or Chocolate…it is just about smarter choices!!! I will not stop going out and seeing friends or give up my calorie/beer laden vacations :drinker: . I enjoyed my one Reeces Peanut Butter Egg (need to log that) today and don’t plan on it psyching me out (in the past I would of gotten a 6-pack and killed it in one day). We don’t need to feel Guilty!!! I declare “Guilty” a “4-letter word” we should not use :devil: (bad word, naughty word, I don’t believe you said that word)…Just Saying
@Christy….I never was a big soda person but now I can’t finish a can when I try. I basically only drink water but I am still a “tap” girl; I refuse to pay for water
@L…you body may have just been telling you it needed a break…hope you’re feeling better…Congrats on the “almost” lb, every little oz counts.
@MJ…I have not really figured out the whole calorie distribution thing myself. I typically don’t eat my exercise calories back or only eat a portion. On the days I know I won’t miss my workout (like when I see my trainer) I do tend to have higher calorie meals during the day. I try not to stress too much about it and try to keep my intake at each meal consistent calorie wise. I tend to eat higher calorie snacks then most. My days are typically 300-400 for Brkfst; 400 for Lunch; 200-300 afternoon snack; 500- 600 Dinner/late snack (my calorie goal is around 1550) and this puts me around 1700. I’m Still trying to figure it out as I am not losing a lot right now; and non-work days are still a disaster for me as I vary so much from my routine.
@Claudia…I’m coming over for dinner.:bigsmile: My mom has a very similar recipe and it is yummy
@Queenie…4.2 is awesome, you’re doing something right so don’t worry about the exercise; just gradually increase as you find the time . Endurance is my big issue also, one small step at a time.:happy:
@Katz…I think you echoed how we all feel, that inner voice can be a killer :brokenheart: We all need to work on that one, kick that inner voice to the curb, squash it with a dumbbell :laugh:
@Mollie…love the daily inspirations, keep em coming
@Sue…I overdid it yesterday also, my whole lower body hurts, will be a light exercise day for me also!
@Joanna…congrats on the awesome food choices (as noted in my ranting above). And what do you drink constantly now :laugh: LOL (I am sure it is water, always water).
Wow***I think I am all caught up***off to the gym I go, I’ll be back later to finish logging!
Luv you All

lol Shelly! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Well for me I am usually not too guilty when I do decide to indulge but I basically will eliminate certian foods for the most part until I reach my goal weight. Even if I indulge some on the way to goal, these indulgences will have to be scarce for this MFP buddy. Since we are talking about words not liked.
I don't like the work DIET. :noway: :grumble:
TO GROUP, what is your pet peeve word or your 4 letter word that you do not like when it comes to getting healthy and it does not have to be 4 -letters since Shelly's was not actually 4 letter word?0 -
