Okay...so just looked at Chopsticks restaurant...no nutrition info, but I looked at the menu and will probably get chicken with mixed vegetables...NO rice or noodles. And maybe a side salad or something...we will see...just need to use my best judgement. Wish me luck!

Where is everyone this morning??

kistinbee

BUMP...can't believe NO-ONE is on yet?!:sad:

PedalHound

Where IS everyone?!?!?! Amy, Cass, other twenty somethings posse, where are you??

So I'm as pissed off about my check-in today as I thought I'd be.
Week 1: 181
Week 2: 178.4lbs (2.6 lb loss)
Week 3: 178.2lbs (0.2 lb loss)
Week 4: 180.0lbs ...1.8lb GAIN :explode: :sad: :mad: :noway:

Goal weight: 169lbs (unofficial) 173.2lbs (official)
Lbs to go: 11 (unofficial) 7.8lbs (official)

Honestly, neither of those things seems remotely realistic or healthy in the span of 3 weeks. If I lose 6 lbs in that time I'll be happy!! I am seriously bothered by this check-in but it is what it is and I CANNOT allow it to bring me down. I have to attack my plan and see what I can really do in these next 3 weeks. There isn't room for slack right now - I've got to get back into the right habits without the shadows of my plateau hopelessness looming around me.

Kristin, we're basically in the same boat! Pretty much right back at square one. Let's really push it okay? I won't flake out on you again :flowerforyou:

I am so injured from my dance class last night!! We were doing this crazy roll thing and my shoulders are completely bruised. As is my middle back. I literally look like I got thrown down the stairs. The dark side of dancing

Today for me:
1: homemade multi-grain porridge
2: homemade apple sauce & 10g raw brazil nuts
3: 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ hummus & alfalfa sprouts
4: chocolate protein drink (after my work out)
5: steamed cauliflower, carrots & peas (1 cup of each) w/ olive oil, balsamic vinegar & toasted sesame seeds
6: cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread w/ homemade apple butter
7: homemade bison chili, 1/2 sprouted grain bagel & 2 cups mixed baby salad greens w/ balsamic
8: 1 medium banana & 4 raincoast crisp rosemary raisin pecan crackers

workouts: C25K running program week 1 day 2, 100 push-up challenge week 1 day 1, 40 minute advanced step class.
My above menu is 1400 cals plus 500 work out cals (1900 total cals) so we'll see where the work-outs actually put me. If I'm more than 250 cals under after my actual work out numbers are in then I'll add to my menu but otherwise I'll leave it.

kistinbee

Hey Rhiannon...sorry about your weigh-in. We really ARE in the same boat...and it SUCKS! But let's do it together! I won't flake out on you either! Your meal plan sounds good for today. I have NO idea what my lunch will be like with Chinese, but I WILL make good choices and dinner tonight won't be bad. SO...LET"S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Everyone.

I've been sososososososos off track. I went on vacation and lost my mind. I haven't weighed in. I did not go to aerobic class this morning. I am going tonight and I will update my stats. I CAN"T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WEEK FOUR.


CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO IS ON TRACK!!!!!!!!!!!

chipper15173

Good morning my fellow SIS' ers!

Well, the scale is not moving on my end. I am 195 on the nose yet again.

So here is where I stand
SW 195
CW 195
GW 183
12 pounds in 3 weeks, not gonna happen!!!! :sad:
Modified goal is to be 189. Out of the 190's would feel good.

I am really frustrated with my body and my mind. I just cant get it together. I know I want it badly. Just not sure why I cant make it all come together. Yesterday was , however, a really good day. I tracked all my food and didnt eat a morsel more. I exercised and burned 911 calories. I plan to have another good day today. It is so frustrating to see the scale go between just a few pounds and never beyond. I feel like I need to become a fitness addict to make this happen and then that stress's me out as I know I dont have the time to do that! Enough venting!

Pedal and Kristin- I am with you on this. I feel like we are all at the same frustration level. We can do this. Lets loose before this challenge ends!

So Week 4 goals for me
1. Make it to the gym to take my weight class 1 time this week
2. exercise everyday this week!
3. Log all food and dont exceed WW points

Weight watchers weigh in is Thursday. Lets see if I can make the scale drop before then:grumble:

Hey everyone!

Okay so updating my stats below. I am up a pound from last week so...

Goal for challeng: 150
Week 1: 160
Week 2: 158.6
Week 3: 157.4
Week 4: 158.4

I am secretly hoping that it is partially because of TOM but I know I can't rely on that. but thinking it makes me happy so, i might just go with it. :happy:

Today:
B: multi grain cheerios, skim milk, coffe with gingerbread coffeemate
L: campbells soup at hand: tomato
S: Fiber one oats and chocolate, special k snack bar - strawberry
Shakespeare's Pizza (will only have two pieces, it is whole wheat crust so that is a plus).
Exercise: Run outside this afternoon hopefully as it is GORGEOUS out.

The girls and I are watching election results come in tonight, hence the pizza for dinner. but as long as I hold myself to two slices I should be fine.

Katy - I noticed you said you were battling a cold on the last post, ME TOO!! my sinuses are horrible right now which actually gives me less of an appetite so we'll see how this week goes.

Challenges for the week:

1. pizza tonight, eek!
2. wedding this weekend and no idea what is being served
3. driving 4 1/2 to said wedding and therefore being tempted by fast food and convenice store buys!!

random side note...

you know what I love about this site? It doesn't really allow you to dwell on your diet digressions. if you eat way over your calories one day and go to bed feeling miserable because of it, when you get up the next morning your food diary automatically goes to a NEW DAY and stresses the fact that today is a new day and there's nothing you can do about what happened yesterday except learn from it!!

Kind of neat.

AmyLou, I completely agree. It really highlights that reality. Sorry about the gain but TOM is totally a culprit for most people. I'm still holding out an ounce of hope that that's what's going on with me but I'm doubtful. Good luck with the pizza tonight!

Cathy, good for you for getting back on track!

Amy, sorry to hear you're also in the same boat. We need to just re-arrange our goals for this challenge. Do the best we can for the next 3 weeks and remember that this is also practice for getting through the holidays. We need to set up patterns, identify where we're having pitfalls and why, and see how much we can solve before we get to this hugely challenging season.

Alright, well I'm off. Walking the dog!

PedalHound

Look at you Katy!! You're the star of this show :bigsmile: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: You're doing so well and thanks for the motivation I do need to make sure I eat all my exercise cals and be more strict about the rest.

Hey hey sexy ladies!

W1: 191.5
W2: 188.0
W3: Gone, didn't post
W4: 188.0

Goal: 10 pounds~~~Lost: 3.5~~~ Still to go 6.5

Got up this morning, inspired to go workout (a new class, Body Focus, that I wanted to try). Also have joined a "challenge" at the Y. Marquette to Miami. You get a mile for every minute exercised, 6 week challenge, if you get 300 miles per week, you are in a weekly prize drawing. If you make it the 1800 miles to Miami by the end, you're in for the grand prize drawing. So, all in all, inspired, which is good, since I haven't been to the gym or worked out since we got back from downstate. I made a bowl of Kashi GoLean, ate two bites and started horking all over :sick: . I made it to the kitchen (kids were in both bathrooms getting ready for school), and my lovely husband kicked the kids out of the upstairs bathroom and cleaned the toilet for me. Isn't that sweet, no dirty backsplash for me!

So, he drove the kids to school, and I slept again, for another 3 hours. Guess I'm not over the stomach ick that I've been playing with for a few days. And I felt so good when I woke up this morning too... bizzarro

Benson

I'm not a part of this challenge but just popped in to say Katy you are doing soo great!!!! I checked out you profile and the difference in your appearance in a few short months is really motivating.

Heather

kistinbee

Why HELLO girlies! Glad to see you are still here!!! Katy...doing FABULOUS as always! And seems like the rest are kind of in the same boat I am! Sorry to hear that! We can TOTALLY do this together gals!!!!

I'm getting ready to leave for my Chinese lunch...a little scared. But I PROMISE I can make good choices! The Chinese will NOT win today!!!!!!!!

I'll check back after lunch!

connieq288

I am home with a sick kid this morning. Some stomach virus going around I just hope either me or the other kids dont get it. I certainly dont want 3 kids vomiting.

Last weeks weight was 275... this weeks was 272. So I lost 3 lbs of course 2 of them were ones that I gained while on this challenge so I still have 11 lbs to lose.


I have to wait until hubby gets home to go and vote and hit the gym then.

Connie

You guys are so funny.:happy:

For everyone who is at square one, with no weight lost (net):

Please remember that we've just made it through (or are making it through) Halloween, the most candy-est holiday ever! You may not have lost weight (net), but you haven't gained!!!

That is an accomplishment in itself!!! :flowerforyou:
