Yay, I made it too! Linda, thanks for the awesome page (and the link) and getting us all together!!!
Good morning all. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I read all your posts but just did not have the energy to respond. Was in bed much of the day with a migraine that had been hanging around for 3 days. Anyway, feeling much better today – back and work and ready to have an awesome on track day!
Wednesday Weigh-in. Tuesday is my official day and the news was so-so. No gain but no loss. Sort of disappointing considering that I have upped the exercise last week, but these things happen. Needless to say, seeing the same number as last week did not help my headache! Threw myself a mini pity party, but put on my big girl pants and decided not to let the scale win!!!
Hugs MJ :smooched: Sorry to hear you have such trouble with migraines. I did have to deal with them when I was a young girl. I am so glad they went away once I started my monthly. Doctor said something to do with hormones. I feel for you. Glad to hear you are better today and back to posting.:laugh: You made me laugh pulling up your big girl pants. ROFL Sucks when our scales don't show a loss when we know we are doing most things right. Keep up the faith - you know that it will show as loss soon. You are doing awesome with your exercising. Oh ya!!! and glad you found us also. :laugh:0 -
Wednesday weigh in - Sunday is the day I weigh to change my ticker but I also weigh every day because I tend to hold water (although not nearly as much as I did 40 pounds ago!) I have lost 2 pounds since last Wednesday. I think the extra sodium from eating out all weekend has flushed out of my system. Not a lot in the way of exercise besides all the walking I did at the convention. I wish I'd had my pedometer with me. Back to the gym for me today to get back on track with exercise.
I was hoping to be down a total of 50 by my dr. appointment tomorrow...but I will take 49 :bigsmile: I went in for my A1c (check my long term blood sugar) and I'm anxious to get the results tomorrow. I have hopes that it will be in the "normal" range. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
Have a wonderful day / evening!
Cathy
Glad to see you made here Cathy :flowerforyou: Congrats on your 2lbs loss this week. Keep it up. Woot Woot!!! Total of 49lbs is excellent weightloss number. OMG you must feel great
. Crossing finger for you that your dr. appointment will go your way and your results will be normal. Please let us know how it goes. 0 -
Good Morning Ladies! WoW! What a lot to catch up on!
Linda- thanks for organizing this, once again.
Charmaine - FABULOUS JOB!! You should be very proud of yourself!
Mollie - I hear ya about the menopause thing....I am experiencing the exact same thing and it sucks! I wish I could just get it
over with and move on!
Cassie - Good for you!
Jo - Congrats on your 14! Awesome job, especially with your knee issue....
Cathy - wow! 49 lbs. is an acheivement! Congrats!
If I missed anyone, my apologies! My memory isn't what it used to be! Hope everyone has a GREAT day!0 -
YAY it's 'humpday'!
That means it's Wednesday weigh-in & exercise day. soooooo I had mentioned that I was challenging myself to get 2 workouts/day in this week. That went right out the window the first day! :grumble: I woke up early yesterday to get my early morning workout in, but by the time I got home last night, i was feeling VERY tired and achey. I think I may be coming down with something, which shouldn't surprise me as I was sitting in the rain for TWO hours on Sunday. I went to bed early last night and still couldn't get up this morning! We'll see how I am feeling tonight.
Also, my car is STILL in the shop. It's been in there since march 3, so three weeks tomorrow. I'm hoping to get it today, so keep your fingers crossed for me!
My weigh in day is tomorrow and I'm a little worried. I havn't been losing very much, so I started calorie cycling 2 weeks ago, and lost 2lbs after the first week! That got me very excited, but after the 2nd week, NO LOSS
no gain either, but still, no loss. We'll see how the scale treats me tomorrow :sad:
Joanna= Congrats on the loss, that is awesome!!
Casie= WTG on the walking, you're doing great!
Shelly= I know its hard not to get discouraged, but you have a great attitude. We'll smash these pounds away, one way or another!
leadvocal= Great you get out for a walk durring work. I had talked the girls here at work into doing a lunch time walk, but that lasted all of one week. I would go without them, but it's not really safe around here to go alone
Cathy= WTG on your loss!! I'm sure your doctor will be impressed! And I hope your tests come back with great results. My husband has diabets too.
MJ= Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. I too get migraines YUCK! Glad you finally kicked it's butt
Mollie= Good luck at your docotor's appointment!
Christy= Hope you and your son are enjoying Spring break! And congrats on staying under yesterday!!!!0 -
Just got in from walk. 2.5 miles today! Just a little stiffness in my calves, no pain...this is a good thing!
I've also just finished logging my food and exercise for the day. We're off shortly to go out to dinner. I will try to be good!
Catcha later!

Well I only lost 35lbs so far...and happy to say my knees don't hurt every time I go up stairs now. Just to odd time I notice it will hurt and that is when I have been doing alot of walking during the day. I am hoping as I lose this weight my knees will love me for it. :laugh:

my official weigh in days are on fridays. I made it to the gym this morning and went ahead and joined.WHOO HOO. I did 12 mins on the bike, 12 mins on the treadmill, 6 mins on the stairstepper and a few weight machines. It is between my house and my daughters school so I am going to try to stop at the gym after I drop her off at school at least 3xs a week. and on the other 2 days I will try to get in some walking or an exercise dvd.
cassie, great job on the walking and I am glad that your husband is walking with you. It is nice to have company on your walks and it will help him also.
JoJo congrats on the weightloss 14lbs for the month is awesome
L. Congrats on your 1.2 lbs loss and yes the .2 lbs is very important , it is all important
Katz good job on your walk. You should be ambitious. I need to get some spring cleaning done also
Sue congrats on your weightloss, that is great
MJ glad you are feeling better.Migraines are no fun. I also get those kind that hang around for days. Once I had one for 2 weeks and was willing to try anything. I did acupuncture and it took it away immediately
Cathy Congrats on your 2lb loss
Claudia I hope you are feeling better and are able to get your car today. Car problems are stressful
Linda shoveling snow is hard work and burns quite a few calories. I believe it is in the exercise base
Looks like we are doing alot of walking as a group. Hope everyone has a great day. I love this group and want to thank all of you ladies for all of the encouragement.0 -

Hope you are feeling better and that you kick this before it really gets started! Also, best wishes for getting your car released from the shop - no having our wheels can really be a pain!0 -

Snow shoveling is very hard, strenuous work! You definitely burned some calories with 15 minutes of that!!! :bigsmile:0 -
So far the week has gone exactly as planned - CHAOTIC!!! I've already put in 30 hrs this week, not counting today.....
Wow, 30 hours already!!! Glad you found a good place to walk and take a break from work even if you do have to go back after. Hope things remain a little calmer for you today!0 -
Just got in from walk. 2.5 miles today! Just a little stiffness in my calves, no pain...this is a good thing!
Great walk!!!! 2 1/2 miles is a long distance, so super congrats on that. Enjoy your dinner!!!0 -
Shelly, sorry to hear the scale is being difficult. I am probably going to try calorie cycling next week to shake up my metabolism. Do you keep with in for multiple weeks or is it something you just do for a short period?
Cathy, great to see you on the board and back from conference. Congrats on your awesome cumulative loss!!! Best of luck at the doctor's appointment. Hope your A1Cs are in the normal range!
Mollie, good luck with the physical. Bet your doc will be pleased with your awesome progress! Hope they can get your hormones sorted out!0 -
Did you all hear my screams! 1.5lb down bringing me to my March goal of 14 lbs . So happy . Will have to make a new goal for the end of April now, maybe a more realistic 8lbs seeing as my water weight has gone. Exercise....keep strengthening my knee and push myself a little further each day. Happy Tuesday ladies x
Yaaay Joanna!!! Congrats on the loss!!! Good work! Re: your above post about finding a new husband.......I think losing the weight is easier...LOL. trust me......mine has all the normal "stuff" going on with his man self....haha. :-\0 -
Yaaay L!!! Congrats on the 1.2lbs loss!!! Good job! I'm sure your energy will come back. WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!0

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: PLEASE READ. THANKS.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou: Hello all,
Starting March 30th, I will be starting a weight chart for our little group. We are experimenting. I want to see if I have the time to commit to getting it up weekly by Thursday or Friday mornings. I will shoot for Thurday but definitely no later than Friday.
For those who have different weigh in days you can use them but for the group since Linda has established Wednesday as weigh in, I will be using Wednesday dates for the chart.
PLEASE NOTE if you do not want to weigh in on Wednesday this is fine. If you want to use another day that is fine but all weigh-ins need to be posted on Wednesdays only. That is the only day I will be looking for them on.
So example if your weigh in day is Monday, then post your weight on WED of the same week. If it is on Friday post it the following WED. It would be too cumbersome to be looking every day for weigh ins and I am sure we can all understand this.
If I missed something or you were out of town or just too busy to post your weight you can always email me any day and I will put your number in the chart. I will only be checking the boards on Wednesdays, starting next Wednesday March 30th for the beginning weight.
I weigh daily anyways so I will have a true weight on Wednesday. If there are any mistakes just let me know and I will update the chart.
Please use below format if you would like to. I will be using it for me. and since we will be posting them on Wednesday's we will know which date to go back and look for it on.
Screen name: Mollie1037
Goal for April 27th: to lose 4 pounds (1 pound a week) or whatever you goal for April is.
March 30th (starting weight): 352
April 6th:
April 13th:
April 20th:
April 27th:
I will post this again next Tuesday March 29th night late.
If it goes OK in April, I will start off May with April 27th date weight. I am in 2 challenges that use these so I hope I can do it. We will see and I totally understand if you don't want to participate. I will only post names of those participating in tracking our weights. For me it was motivational with the challenges I am in now. This is not a challenge. At any time if you want to get off the list let me know via email and I will immediately remove you from the chart.
Please let me know who is in! :flowerforyou: Remember after today email me if you are in because I am only checking on Wednesdays. Sorry for the late post. Hope your Wednesday is going well.0 -
OK, I have always had "bat wings" but now they are disgusting. With all my weight losses and weight gains, up, down, up, down, I guess my skin has rebelled! Seriously, is anyone else considering plastic surgery when they've reached their goal? I refuse to have loose hanging skin forever.....0

Count me in please Mollie, sounds a great motivational tool. Thank you for taking it on.0

Good for you, you'll do great at the gym!0 -
Tomorrow I am off to the doctors for annual physical and to make sure I am OK thyroid wise and to see if they can tell me if I am in menapause. :blushing: TOM is very sparodic these days and I feel this is why it is very hard for me to lose weight these days.
I hear ya, TOM has been very hit or miss for me also. I just wish it would be over and done with! I agree with the statement that it makes it hard to lose weight. 0 -
I've been making myself take a break a noon to go for a walk. The town paved a section of an old railroad line that meanders behind the city park, thru some trees and by farm fields. It's very close to work, and I can walk to the end and back in a half hour. It's a great way to get in some exercise and a MUCH deserved break for the brain!!!
That sounds like a wonderful walk and a great way to relax and rest your brain.0 -

Malias,
I have considered it and went for an evaluation but way too expensive for me. My parents agreed to help me but I don't think I want to pay the money and I really need it for my thighs and butt areas before I would consider my arms. I have made peace with my body image and will move forward with the hanging flab.0 -
LOL Sue:flowerforyou: I need to make some new habits also. Glad you found our new thread. Weather sucks here also. Woke up to snow on the ground once again. Buses all around us were cancelled today, some school closed also. Spring oh spring where art thou?

spring is here in vancouver!! i was sitting on the deck just now just in shirtsleeves pondering the mess in my yard!0 -
