Lucky #13 - CLOSED GROUP

justnname

NSV today: Every Thursday, they order in food at work. I usually order but I held back. Today - they ordered Pizza Hut <<<---my favorite! I am a sucker for pizza any day/time/second/minute. I ate a big breakfast (packed with protein) and when I told my boyfriend last night (he is just the sweetest I tell ya) he was like "well, that's just mean!" So this morning, he asked me on a lunch date to Subway Supportive "spouses" make all the difference!

Anyone else have any NSV's?? Do share. I love reading about all of you.

AW.. There are still some good men out there..

Happy Friday my lovely 13's.

Well as far as weight i have lost 2 lbs this week and it so happened that this is also the day i measure. Im loving the measuring tape more then the scale.. I also have lost about 4.5 inches total in 3 weeks. SO yay. I made my goal..


And completed my energy goal for this week!!!!!

I cant wait to read how everyone else did..

Just remember " Focus on how far youve come not how far you have to go"

This week has been super stressful and filled with anxiety. I reverted to my old self and once again let my emotions ruled my life and eating. I know that there are several internal issues going on with me that I need to talk to someone on a professional level and the sooner I do the sooner I can deal with all the demons that won't leave me alone.

So, unfortunately, this week I am weighing in at 210 lbs. I've gained 2 lbs since last friday. I was down to 206 Monday but I since gone back up. I'm thoroughly disappointed in myself because through this week, it was like I was having an out of body experience and I could see myself doing everything that I wasn't supposed to be doing and not doing what I was supposed be doing. I did no exercise this week and I did not track my food expeditiously like I normally do.

I have a lot on my plate right now and sometimes feel like I'm drowning in all it.

Sorry lovely ladies. I feel like not only did I let myself down but you, too. :frown: :brokenheart:

No frowns. We all have weeks like that. You havent let me down at all. Im proud that you posted this.the first step is to ask for help, and your on the right track .Im no professional. But alas I am here to listen if you just need to vent rant cry scream or just chat. I know all to well how you feel my week has been very stressful as well, i turned the stress, hurt, and anger into workouts. You will get there it just takes time hugs

Good morning #13 ... just checking in. This morning I weighed in at 243 pounds. Only a slight improvement, but every bit helps, right? Thank you all for remembering to post. I am glad to read about each of your experiences.

Good Morning Everyone:

*NOTE* If you weigh in, will you PLEASE record it here as well. I can go through my "newsfeed" but I have some new friends and it is very easy to miss someone that way. It will just make it easier and less time consuming to track on the spreadsheet. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I weighed in at 283.5 - lost 3.5 lbs. I am purchasing a new scale this week so when it comes in, I will let you know if my weight fluctuates at all. I also measured myself the other day and have heard it is a great thing to do. My friend who is a trainer said to do it every 4-6 weeks to see how many inches you are losing. He said 3 weeks is alright but every week is too close together and it deters motivation and confidence. I am thinking about buying 4 more measuring tapes (5 total for Hips, thigh, arm, tummy and bust). I am going to mark them with a Sharpie marker so I know exactly how much I lost and can see it! I'm still thinking about it, let me know what you lovely ladies think!

I am so excited that everyone is already confiding in one another. I see it on your wall posts and think we are really creating a great group and confidants in each other. It makes me so happy to cheer you all on, it is the first and last routine of my day! With that said, I am also going to cheer you on when you are down and tell you to get your butt to the gym. I hope you all respect this and do the same for me. Much love

Good Morning Lucky #13

4.5 lb I tried to sweat out the half lb at this morning beating. It just didn't work.. After a no loss last week, I had to have a good week.

Had a great NSV this morning.. I hurt my calf about 3 weeks ago.. It has been a lingering injury.. So, I haven't been able to use the treadmill or stairmaster or do step ups. I know what a bummer.. LMAO

Wednesday I still couldnt do the step ups without aggrevating my calf.. Well this morning..I did it with NO PAIN.. WooHoo.. Not that I love step ups.. I hate them.

Other positive note.. I have burn 4500 of my 5000 goal and I am almost done with EG goal of a new playlist..

@Mirna... Do not beat yourself up. This is a journey.. There will be ups and downs. Therapy helped me. I had all the negative voices, the why bother i'm not worthy thought process. It took sometime.. But now I know..It not all or nothing; I am worthy, 99.9% Postive thoughts

Most important Do not give up. You can do it!

Good morning ladies!
I'm starting to think that I may be the last one to reply to everything because I'm at the end of all the time zones.
I weighed-in this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that I went from 368.8 to 368.7! LOL! This week was rough, so at least I didn't gain!!
I am so proud of everyone for their losses this week! And @Mirna, don't get down on yourself. I know exactly what you mean by needing to talk with someone. We are all here if you need to vent!
I feel so privileged to have found this group. You all inspire me and keep me going. Thanks #13!!!

Hi - me again - weird :noway: :laugh:

I wanted to share with everyone that I completed my Energy Goal for the week. I always get such a rush from shopping trips like these. I know it sounds weird - but for real, I do!!

Since the picture is small I will tell you what I got! :blushing:
- Paper Towels (clearly)
- 4 boxes of kleenex
- 2 jars of peanut butter (also notice that it is reduced fat even!!)
- 10 toothbrushes
- 2 tooth paste tubes
- 3 jars of shave gel
- bottle of lotion

All of this was --- $19.95 (with tax: 7% here) so about .87 per item. I donated most of the toothbrushes yesterday with a few other things I had sitting around but my stockpile (small - not like you see on that stupid show on TLC) was dwindling so I will keep the rest! I saved around $60. YAY for MORE energy :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

@Mirna sending hugs your way lovely, I hope everything is okay. Don't fret it, you haven't let anybody down. We all have our moments! Just remember this:

"If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." - Frank A. Clark

I am thinking about buying 4 more measuring tapes (5 total for Hips, thigh, arm, tummy and bust). I am going to mark them with a Sharpie marker so I know exactly how much I lost and can see it! I'm still thinking about it, let me know what you lovely ladies think!

oo I like this idea! I get disheartened when my measurements haven't gone down but when I set the tape measure to what I was, I realise how far I've come already!

@Tiffany, I recently watched Extreme Couponers so when you mentioned you couponed, I just pictures a mad supermarket raid, buying 100s of soaps & laundry detergent lmao! Glad to see you just got a cheeky haul ;D wtg with completing the EG too!

I lost 3lbs this week so I now weigh 265lbs. I'm getting so frustated with the scale, it seems no matter how hard I work or how many calories I burn it keeps fluctuating up & down 2lbs! I'm definitely going to have to cut down on my calorie intake & shake up my food. Happy to report I've reached my 3000 CBG & have burned 6645 so far this week too

Enjoy the weekend lovelies! x #13

pretty sure I am the last to officially check in. Sorry to hear Mirna is having a tough time. We all do from time to time, just know that you are loved and it is so worth the effort to reclaim your life.

last friday my weight was 270.4 today it was 269 so I actually show an ever so slight loss of 1.4 that is awesome except when I got on the scale yesterday I was down to 267. I liked that loss a whole lot better.

Yesterday was my daughter in law's birthday lunch and I all ready had plans for dinner with a friend. I could have made a better choice for the birthday lunch, well actually I thought I had until I got home and logged it into MFP and it turned out to be not so good. Then after dinner I had to pick some things up at the grocery store and I bought a single piece of cake and a small container of ice cream. So I threw it all out the window and considered yesterday not just a cheat meal but a cheat day. So I obviously didn't follow the new skills I learned from the Beck's Diet Solution workbook. but lets face it one day isn't going to ruin me. I see the error of my ways and know what to do next time.

Today has been quite the day for me, I went on a job interview and have become accustomed to "rejection" but I keep going looking for something that will be better than what I am doing now. Currently I have my own small and not doing so well business where I do facials, waxing, mani's and pedi's, I work part time at a waxing center and I work part time at a hair cuttery that pays terrible. I took the hair job because my esthetican work is not doing well and in this tough economy people still get their hair cut. I might add I have not done hair in at least 20 years. So today I interviewed for a classy new men's grooming salon/ barber shop and was offered the job, It helps that the other two interviewed before me, one was on drugs and aggitated and the other was dirty and hadn't washed their hair in a while. I came in without a hair out of place and dressed nicely. I gave my notice to the two pt jobs and will only be working the new one while trying to hang on to my small business for as long as possible.

I know this is long and if you held out and read it to the end you are truly amazing. If not, well I won't hold it against you. lol

You all rock and I look forward to hearing more about your successes, weight losses and nsv's. Blessings to each and everyone of you

Everyone is doing amazing!!!!

Hello Ladies - I am glad to see everyone is doing so well.

@Kelly - Congrats on the job offer! That is really exciting, I hope you do well and wish you lots of luck.
@Sanie - NICE LOSS GIRL!

I had a rough Saturday. I planned on going to the gym but I was with my best friend who is moving 5 hours away. The day was filled with shopping and eating at our favorite places. I made some healthier decisions but not enough to cut it without exercise. We were planning to go to the gym Saturday morning but decided against it.... I am not going to beat myself up about it or anything, I just know I have to pick up the slack the rest of the week!

Here is my WRAP UP from last week:
CBG: 2167/2200 I missed it by 33 calories! I guess sleeping in on Friday and skipping Saturday did me no good!
EG: completed

NEW WEEK:
CBG: 3500
EG: Help my friend move. She lives on the Third Floor with no elevator!!

Just so everyone knows, this next weekend August 4-7 I will be out of town at Country on the River. It is a big party and lots of fun. I have no idea how it will go with meals and such but I will do my best. I have meals planned and am going to get low-calorie beer! I am also going to take my work out clothes to get a quick walk in the mornings. I upped my CBG a pretty substantial amount (for me...) in hopes to break even or lose! I am also waiting for my new scale to arrive so I will let you know if my weight changes. Good Luck to you all - I know I will be encouraged by the rest of you all week. Thanks for being awesome!! :glasses:

workingmumof4

Well done to everyone for last week.

This is my last week before my holiday and I am hoping to bust my butt and workout really hard. I initially wanted to lose 28lb for my holiday. As I am now past this I would love to get to 42lb by Friday, that means 4lb loss this week. I have some serious work to do.

I am busy working full time, trying to find out why my daughters passport has not arrived, pack and exercise. I am hoping to swim twice this week before I go.

Good luck to everyone x x

Your #13 stars xxxx

Keep up the good work

Dianne xx

Good morning. Last week was completely awful but I was able to recuperate this week. Unfortunately, TOM made his presence known. I was not able to meet any of my goals last week. Hoping to be able to get something done this week although I will be busy packing and helping my sister throw a party for my 11 yr old niece.

I leave sunday for Punta Cana, DR. So you guys will not hear from me from 8/7 to 8/14. I should be back on line by the 15th!


Here is my WRAP UP from last week:
CBG: failed
EG: failed

NEW WEEK:
CBG: 1800 (at least)
