.Thin By Thanksgiving. *closed group*

I didn't lose yesterday, but I wasn't really expecting to since I ate rather poorly while watching football on Sunday and am holding onto some water weight. I did work out each day over the weekend though, which was one of my major goals.

Goal 1 - Get rid of this water weight
Goal 2 - Train for Run For Your Lives 3 days this week, lift the other days (rest day Sunday)
Goal 3 - Watch the salty foods and avoid a water weight gain next week!!

GW: 130.5

My measurements stayed the same but I lost a pound making me 194.

My goals for this week are to log all my exercise and eat half.

Hey everyone! I hope things are going well. It is Wednesday! Happy Hump Day. How is everything going this week.

Things are going great here. My finger is starting to not throb all the time which is great. Hopefully it will be better by the weekend, at least enough that I can take advantage of the perfect running weather we are expecting. I am trying to have a great week because I know this weekend is going to be really tough (which is why I am hoping to be able to run by then). Saturday we are having a birthday party for my son (he is turning 1 on 9/22). It is just a BBQ with hamburgs/ hotdogs, mac salad, pot salad and come snack foods. It shouldn't be to hard to stay on track since I am going to be busy playing hostess. On Sunday I have a baby shower to attend to and it is brunch buffet at a restaurant. Brunch is my favorite! That will be tough but on the plus side my mom who is currently trying to eat healthier will be there and will help me stay on track.

Only 3.5 weeks until vacation! I don't think I am going to hit my goal before vacation (150) but I am going to keep chipping away even if it is 0.1 lbs at a time. Hope you are all having a great week! Lets do this.

Wow - woke up to frost on the car. Not ready for that. Also not ready to turn the heat on in the house but it was cold. I have been eating pretty good so far this week. I started 30 Day Shred Tuesday morning plus back to running at night. I had to take Monday off from everything. I was just so exhausted. I have no big plans this weekend. I would really like to go for another bike ride, but only if I can find a little pillow to sit on...bum still hurts from the last ride :laugh:

Started to see a little definition back in my abs yesterday now if I could just stay motivated I'd be doing great! I have been under calories but haven't been exercising like I need to be.

So I have decided to try and keep away from the scale except for Mondays. I know everyone says no more than once a week, but it was kinda nice to see it go down a little bit each day. Well for the past 2 weeks it creeps up a little everyday. It is really depressing and makes me feel like all this work is for nothing. So away it goes and only will see the light of day on Mondays. :happy:

thamre

That's the way to do it cdngrl81. I know how hard it is not to step on it everyday! I stop myself several times a week. And as I have seen on many posts, even if you are not losing weight you may be losing inches!

So I did it!! I made it through the day without weighing myself!! :happy:

I struggle with this. I am in such a habit of weighing everyday that I automatically step on. I did put it away for a week over the summer but I decided it didn't make me any more or less focused so I put it back out.

I'm forced to stay away from the scale because mine broke and my hubby refuses to let me buy a new one

Is it time for remeasuring yet?

BeachGurl815

Hello again, I hope everyone is doing well.

I think I did pretty good on my goals this week. I fit in two spin classes, a weightlifting class and a light workout on the elliptical. I stayed close to my calorie goals. As long as I keep on track this weekend I hope to have a nice loss.

I think it is time for measurements...am I correct?

As for my goals, my weekend will be very busy. My boys have soccer games all weekend, but I intend to do my best sticking to my plan. I may take off from working out tonight or try to fit in a short walk or dvd.
Saturday morning spin class
Sunday either spin or bike outside.
plan my meals ahead and stay close to my calorie goals
drink my water
Have a loss to report on Monday!

thamre

Happy Friday :drinker: Hope all had a good week. Mine was so-so. Need to have a good weekend to see any loss on Monday.

My goals:
Run 6 miles Saturday morning
bike 10+ miles
drink plenty of water
no bad foods

cdngrl81

My weekend goals:

1) 1weekend workout
2) Stay under my calories
3) Stay away from the scale

Have a great weekend everyone!!

8-15: 159.0
8-22: 162.4
8-29: 158.0
9-6: No weigh in
9-12: 156.2
9-19: 156.0

Considering the large quantity of CRAP I ate this weekend I am extremely happy to see this number. Friday started with the most wonderfully delicious Lobster Mac and Cheese I have ever had. Saturday we had my son's first birthday party which was a BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs, mac salad, potato salad. Then Sunday I went to a baby shower brunch and the food was so wonderful. To escape without a gain makes me REALLY happy.

This week is going to be tough. Thursday is my son's actually B-day and we are spending the day at the BIG E. That means a ton of walking but it also means Fair Food! It is going to be a struggle. Friday we are going out to dinner to celebrate my son's b-day and my b-day (on Saturday). Then Saturday we are going to visit my mom and dad and I am sure the food choices available will be less than stellar. With all that being said my goals for this week.

- Drink water! I have been horrible about this now that it isn't hot out anymore
- Exercise.
- Make smart choices (the lesser of the evils :-0)
- Spend less time on the computer!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Although I did not accomplish my goals this weekend - rainy and too cold - I did see a loss this morning!

weigh-in was 174...that is a 2 pound loss from last week :glasses:

Creiche

After spending last week totally exhausted all the time, I've decided to spend a week listening to my body so I can find the right balance of nutrient/calorie intake while I train for Run For Your Lives. I've been obsessing too much about the scale not moving lately, so I've decided not to weigh in this week while I figure out how to keep my energy level up.

Goals for this week:
1) Do not weigh in until next week
2) Eat enough to feel satisfied, but not use this as an excuse to "boredom" snack.
3) Run: Tues/Thurs/Sat, Lift: Mon/Wed/Sun
4) Drink at least 80 oz of water a day

Hope everyone had a great weekend and great job to you ladies who recorded a loss this week!!!

Sigh...I'm up this week, and therefore not posting, but I also know it's due to TOM...so not terribly worried.

On a positive note yesterday I measured my neck, waist and hips - my neck was down 1 inch (really????), my waist and hips each 1.5 inches. I was really floored by the measurment thing...

Your son has the same birthday as me! I am not going to be that strict this week, because I have my 40th birthday on Thursday, and I have lunches out and dinner tomorrow night and Friday night. My weight is the same as last week 216. I started celebrating early, so I wasn't expecting a loss.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well and had a good weekend.

Take care ladies!

It is check in day! I can't check in with weight because I am using my Wii (Wii fit)and my tv decided to take a dive. So while my Wii still works, I can't SEE what it is saying :laugh: I did take measurements, though

Neck: 13 1/2...not sure I am going to lose any more there...if so not a noticeable amount
Arms: 12 which I find odd, no loss recorded, but I know a shirt I wore the other day felt looser
Bust: 38
Waist 33 1/2
Belly roll: 38 1/2
Hips 42 1/2
Thighs 24
Calves 14 1/2

so I lost a couple inches this last week...YAY!!! Of COURSE the biggest loss is in my bust; just figures!
I'm pretty sure I lost some weight too, but as I said my scale isn't readable today. I am going to see what I can do to weigh in tomorrow.

My goals: well I didn't make my goals last week. I DID mimic my school schedule,but didn't get the water amount every day that I wanted, nor did I do my pilates 3 times...I was sick 3 days though so that is my reason for missing the last one.

Goals for this week:
Continue to mimic my school schedule, but even more so, adding being ready to walk out the door at the right time, eating the kinds of food I will be eating (brown bagging a LOT) etc.
Pilates 3 times, minimum of 40 minutes each time
Walk 5 times with my husband
Drink enough to not wake up thirsty the next day

Yes! It's time for remeasuring!
You can post them here!!
Awesome job with losses, ladies!!

I was 180.0 today- no change. But at least it hasn't crept up!!

So happy to see great results from everyone!!

cdngrl81

LW: 158.2
CW: 158.4

Damn!! I actually was a little happy this morning cuz I thought I was 158.8 last week.

Goals:
1) Do 5 workouts this week
2) Stay under calories (I have to make sure I do this one!!)
3) Try to get at least 8 glasses of water

3ricaAnn

My goals for the week are the same as last week.
My weight I'm pretty sure it has not dropped but will find out as soon as possible.
I meassured myelf over the weekend and nothing has changed but I am going to do it again tomorrow morning to see if I just measured wrong or something.
Hope all you ladies are doing great!

thamre

I had read somewhere that it is best to measure in the morning - something about your body tends to bloat throughout the day. I will take some measurements tomorrow morning and see if I have any changes.

Hi all! My weight this week is 193.....finally the scale moving in the right direction!

KaeChelle

My weight as of yesterday morning was 271.8. Last week it was 278. I'm not sure how that can be. That was from my Wii Fit Balance Board, which is what I've been weighing on all along. It could be that last week I gained after a huge splurge all weekend while on vacation, then getting back on track during the week caused me to lose that excess. I have no idea... or my scale could have been off. I'm afraid to get back on and see it go back up!

mea9

I weigh 192 so I've lost 2lbs this week. My measurements are the same:(

cdngrl81

So here are my new measurements for this week:
Measurements:
Bust: (right across nipples) 37
Waist: 29.5
Hips (widest part!): 41
Arms: (where they jiggle!) R- 11.5, L-11.5
Thighs: (widest part!) R- 24, L- 24.5
Neck: 13

thamre

My measurements:
ura 12.4 = 0
ula 12 = 0
bust 40.5 = -1
waist 35.5 = -.5
abs 41 = -5
hips 41.5 = -.5
urt 23 = 0
ult 22 = 0
l.calf 15 = 0
r.calf = 0

So, I have seen some losses since we started...total of -2.5. Pretty good

mamarundrc

My measurements 9/20:

Bust: 26 (-0.5)
Waist: 29 (-0.75)
Navel: 34.5 (-0.5)
Hips: 40.0 (-0.5)
