Yeah! Congrats everyone!!!

I'm so exhausted, no time to reply to everyone right now but I wanted to check in and see how everyone did!! CONGRATS on 10lbs Kristin! And enjoy your birthday week
This week brings a fair number of challenges for me... I have the trade show all weekend so I'll only get tomorrow's work out and I'll miss Friday AND Sunday. Also I'll be trying to pack good snacks but my eating may be off over the weekend. I really want to keep this going so I can banish that plateau and make sure I don't see it again for a while!

Okay, time for a NAP. :yawn:

Thanks for the birthday wishes!:flowerforyou: Rhiannon...take a nap...you deserve it! And I'm sure you will do fine, even with the challenging weekend ahead...you always do! I'm pretty busy...working on paperwork now for this new job, plus trying to catch up on some things for the current one! I feel so rushed! But...still excited! They also just ordered me a brand new computer and a lab coat with my name on it (one of the perks of being full-time)..I'm so excited I could squeal!!!:blushing: Just did a little!:blushing: I'm such a dork!

Happy Birthday Kristin!! Hope you have a great week!! Awesome job on the 2lb loss girl

Deb- great job on your loss as well, thats great!! You are doing so well!

Hello everyone else if I missed ya- I really do think the no scale til weigh in day improved the morale of most everyone in our challenge lol. Yes, it was better for me to wait I didnt have the constant oh my did that just make me gain 2lb?? lol But it was kinda frustrating as well! Ive already weighed again this evening to see if some of the fluids have started to come off and they are...down to 207.0 tonight. I am going to weigh myself one more time tomorrow morning and whatever that weight is I will adjust it on my ticker and keep it there til next Tuesday..and I will TRY not to weigh again til then!

So yesterday was just a rough day for me, PT early in the morning and just a bad day after that pain wise...Today was alot better though I did have to skip my class today bc I didnt have enough gas to get to school and back- and all the gas stations around here are EMPTY! Im currently driving a rental car that drinks gas like I drink water so Ive been trying to put in the least I can only when I have to- supposed to get my car back tomorrow! Yay!

Food wise: bfast- protein shake snack- strawberries lunch- cinnamon raisin bar and small salad snack- baby carrots and fiber water mix dinner- 1/2c angel hair noodles and 1/4 cup pasta sauce snack- jello sugarfree rice pudding
Exercise.. 62 min walking in the park about 40 min were real exercise the other 22 was just me cooling down and walking with my daughter collecting acorns, leaves and pinecones for her class..

So tomorrow- more walking either at school or in the park atleast 30 minutes. Food wise tomorrow will be hard- gonna have to have easy grab and go stuff since I have PT at 730a then its just rushing around from there til about 3-4pm.

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow and I will check in then!

Good evening everyone. I know not many of you are on here late but I want to get this out so tomorrow can be a new day!

I went to Weight Watchers. My sister in law and I walked, 6 miles round trip. pretty good walk. Have not worn the HR to see how much I burn. I keep forgetting. Must remember next week. Bad news at the scale. It is "TOM" for me so I have to keep that in mind but it still hurt alot to see if....up 3.8 from the week before:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: I usually pack on about 3 pounds so not untypical but still!

Like I said, tomorrow is a new day and I am not looking back. My goal tomorrow is to even out my 1200 cals over each meal and see how that goes. Also tomorrow is a big walking day with the moms from school. We walk the whole time the kids are in school, 2 1/2 hours.

Here's to a better day! :drinker:

PedalHound

Amy, it doesn't matter WHY you see the numbers go up, it's AWFUL any time!! I feel your pain

Just a quick check-in. Finally watched Heroes (downloaded since we can't watch AND put the kiddos to bed). Sleep now!!!

kistinbee

Good morning gals. Sorry I didn't check in last night...it was a HORRIBLE night! My husband and I got in a big argument and I ended up going to bed at like 8...just wanted the day to be over. I ended up eating about 400 calories UNDER...I only had a small turkey burger on a light bun with 1 sl. fat free swiss. Oh well. I was just not in the mood...and yes, it was my birthday, so poopy! Oh well...today is a new day! (Like Amy said!) I am feeling a lot better and this morning my husband told me he's taking my out for dinner tonight...which is great...but I'm ALSO going out for lunch today with people at work (that Indian food I've been mentioning). SO....this is going to be my most challenging day. I had 1 c. Multigrain Cheerios with 1/2 c. skim milk and 1 med. banana, 8 oz. PlumSmart Lite juice, and 1 multivitamin for breakfast. I have my 2 c. coffee with 2 tbsp. sugar free vanilla caramel creamer and a Kashi TLC blackberry graham bar for this morning snack (I seriously can't make it until lunch without a snack...I'll get sick!) And I brought a TLC Peanut Peanut Butter granola bar for me to eat before my workout. So...lunch will be Indian and dinner I think will be Applebees (which is okay because I order WW menu and know the calories). AND since I'm not weighing again until next Tuesday, I won't know if I'm up or not from this...so actually a good thing I'm not weighing everyday like I usually do. But...it is a challenging day. I am going to the gym for a 1/2 hour run and 1 hour BodyPump so that will help. I will still have to do some searching online about nutrition for Indian food...NO clue! Anyways...wish me luck and have a wonderful day gals! I'll check back later!!!

cassangelidy

Amy, I'm sorry to hear about your weigh in...TOM is soooo frusterating when you are trying to lose weight!!! :grumble: I totally feel the pain too!! :flowerforyou:

Kristin--I'm sorry to hear you guys got in a fight. I'm proud of you for not over eating...that is what I do when I get mad...I comfort eat. "I'll show you...::eats cookie::" LOL Wow you really got back at him Cassidy. lol. Today sounds like it will be a fun day. Indian food isn't THAT bad. They do a lot of veggies and vegetarian food. I'm sure you will find some calorie info online.

I have good news this morning!! I got up and got my booty to the gym!! WOO HOO!! I did Turbo Jam last night and then 25 mins on the stair climber and 15 mins on the treadmill at 5% incline. SOOO the *really* good news is....I'M OUT OF THE 190'S!!! My weigh in was 189.8lbs. That's a 2.4 lb loss for the last week!!

YIPPEEEEEEEEee

If I can lose 3 pounds a week for the next 3 weeks, I'll meet my goal of 180lbs by 10/14/08!!

WE CAN DO IT LADIES!!!!!!!!

Thanks Katy and Rhiannon....

WOW KATY!! NICE ACTION!!!!

I'm glad PT went well for you today!!

Rhiannon, have a good day! Check in with us when you can...you will be missed.

DebLaf

Wow Katy, You are really on a roll. I wish I could drop 5 pounds in a week.

Pedal, sounds like your doing good keeping on track while you are extra busy lately.

Kristen, I'm glad your off to a good start today & you didn't do any emotional eating last night to soothe yourself.

Cass, Great job on the weight loss.

I went to exercise class today, forgot how many cals I burned & how to get back to that on the HRM so I will figure it out later.

1: fiber one cereal & skim milk
2: light & fit yogert, 4 oz. skim milk & kashi cookie
3: turkey wrap
4: apple
5: lean cusine pizza
6: skim milk & the light cookie I was going to make yesterday and still havn't made them yet.

Have a great day everyone. I'll check in later.:flowerforyou:

kistinbee

Thanks all for your kind words.:flowerforyou:

Lunch was good. I think I probably ate a little more than I should...it was a buffet. And I don't really know how to count it all so I kind of extimated. I had about 1 c. rice with peas, 2 quarters of flat bread, about 1/2 c. fresh honey dew, and about 1 cup of this vegetable/creamy stuff...it was full of carrots and other veggies and not too spicy (I'm not a spicy person). It was good but I was full when I was finished. Drank lots of water with it. So...I'm pretty sure I over-estimated calories and it will put me over my limit for today (without exercise or dinner) but it's okay. Like I said, today is my challenging day this week and if it's my one day over, I won't feel too horrible!

Well...back to work, but I'll check back later!

PedalHound

Quick check-in!

Kristin, one of the things I REALLY like about not weighing in every day is the fact that one day doesn't have as much power. You can be right on point for the rest of the week after this challenging day and next time you weigh in you won't even know it happened.

Alright, back to the grind! I'll feel SO relaxed Sunday night... AHHHH....
