Had a pretty awesome NSV I forgot to mention on Thursday. I put on a pair of jeans that were in my closet that haven't fit me in over 2 years - AND they were LOOSE!!0

I'm so glad to hear we're all on the same page!!!! I was hoping that I wouldn't be letting you guys down, because I would have felt really bad if you all wanted to do Oct, and I was the one who didn't! I do really like the idea of still challenging eachother with mini goals that are more set to beat, than force ourselves to meet. Such as crunch week, seeing what number we can get to etc. Maybe each week a different member could pick a new task for our group. Anyway, that's what's been rolling around my mind. I still need pushing, and would live the support of you guys. This journey is far from over for me.
I like that idea! I'd totally be up for that. 0 -
Wow Kiltbubby! That's awesome!

Well... I went in to the office in Michigan yesterday and I was so busy all day that I only saw the mean ladies for a very short time as I was walking by with other people, and they wouldn't have had time to say anything about my weight anyway, so I guess that was good. I wasn't able to get to my goal of 225 by yesterday (not for lack of trying), but oh well.
I DID have a funny thing happen today, though! I wasn't able to exercise Sunday because we had company and I wasn't able to exercise yesterday because I got up at 4:45, drove three hours to work, worked all day, drove three hours home, and got here with only enough time to take out the trash and wash a few dishes, so there was no exercise happening there. I FOUGHT to keep my calories below the limit both days and I managed it, but I was still expecting to gain weight today, because... well, these days, it seems like I'm always gaining weight for no reason, and it's just about to be TOM, too. BUT...... to my shock, I stepped on the scale and had lost 2 lbs since my lowest weight last week! I have finally cracked the 229 mark that was holding me hostage almost the entire month of September, and I was 227.4. I'm sure it sounds terrible to all of you, but to me, that was a huge victory, and I'm really excited about it. This is less than I weighed on my wedding day!
Tonight, I have a class immediately after work, so I won't have much time to exercise, but I'm going to go to the Y and do my 5K and anything else required for the pygmy challenges. Hopefully I can get this in before they close at 10:00... my class runs till 9:00 or sometimes later. But I'm going to do my best. I want to take this loss and keep running with it! NOT going to get lazy! 0 -

That's awesome Kellie!!! Great job!!! You deserve to finally break that barrier!!!
I'm up a stinking two lbs since friday. I've stayed under my calories every day, but it could have been with better foods and I take accountability for that. So I logged it, and i'm moving on. I'm trying not to gain during this very stressful time in my life, and it doesn't seem like it's working. But i'm not giving up, I'm plugging along! Challenge done from yesterday (pygmy) and hope to step back up to the bushman this week. I'll go post that now...0 -

I'm so sorry about all the stress... that is horrible for trying to keep weight off. Just to offer a little rationality/encouragement... you KNOW that you didn't eat 7,000 calories more than you were supposed to. And that's what it would take to make you gain two real pounds. So... as crappy as it is to see the scale say two lbs higher, just remind yourself that you haven't goofed up that much, and that water weight will eventually dissipate as suddenly as it appeared and put you back down to where you want to be. Keep hanging in there, because you ARE handling the stress very well (just think how many calories the old you would have eaten through by now!!) and there has to be a breaking point pretty soon where things start getting easier for you and your family. I know it!0 -
I hope you do not let the '2 pounds' get you down. You know there's no possible way that that 2 pounds is real weight (fat) because you aren't eating enough food to gain weight! That's almost more than we eat a week. (Almost, it's close!) You'll see that weight drop off soon, I'm sure of it! Just keep trying to eat well, and drinking that water and it will all come together.
I have been starving the past couple of days! I'm still eating under my calories but wow am I hungry! I've even been eating more protein than usual the past couple of days (finally going over my protein for the day instead of way under) I'm trying to make sure I eat when I'm hungry, and also drinking more water to make sure I'm not just thirsty but those hunger pains have been almost constant! I'm hoping this subsides soon!
And way to go on that loss! You totally deserved it.0 -
Challenges for today and yesterday... done. We're almost there, guys! 0

Finished the 5K for today... I'll do the rest of the challenges when I've given my knees a chance to rest a little. I was at the Y last night doing my C25K until they closed at 10, and then I was back again when they opened this morning to do my aerobics class for the Largest Loser competition. Then I came home and walked my 5K outside. You could say my knees are a little sore now!
Two victories to report: 1 SV and 1 NSV
SV... for Largest Loser, I was down 3.4 lbs from last Wednesday. Yay!
NSV... she had us doing burpees during the class this morning, and I don't know what possessed me to try it, but I decided to do guys' pushups with the burpees instead of the usual girls' pushups. AND I WAS ABLE TO DO IT!!!!!!! I mean, granted, I didn't go completely down, but I went at least halfway to the floor, so that's pretty good. When we started the August Challenge, I had to do modified burpees all the time because I simply didn't have the arm strength for it. And I just did the real burpees this morning and kept on doing them for the whole 60-second interval!!! I'm pretty darn excited about that. 0 -

Holy smokes!!! 3.4lbs is HUGE!!! I would LOVE to shave off 3.4 in a week!!
I'm actually up some weight this week so far.... I'm at 173.4 so thats a +.4 gain that I really didn't expect to see, but kind of did. This past 7 lbs or so has been absolutely awful for me. I feel like I'm not losing anything at all. I tried upping my calories, but I felt like I just "loosened the reigns" on myself. I pulled back to 1200 starting today. TOM is next week, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. I really don't see the progress that I have been and its discouraging.0 -
Don't feel discouraged! You are doing fantastic and we all know how evil the scale really is. Just keep chugging 0

Don't be discouraged!!! this loosing weight thing is HARD!!! you're doing so good and every time I see you on that ellyptical for an hour, you inspire me!!
I also feel like putting my calories at 1300 killed me this week. (that and the homemade apple pie making session with my grandmother...only had slivers though:frown: !!) I'm carving off the 2lb gain slowly, but this is insanity! I really need to work on MORE WATER! forgot my water bottle today and 6 oz at a time is rediculous! least i'm getting excercise to the water cooler!0 -
Weighing in tomorrow. Excited. Hoping for a nice scale reading! But, I did a quick check of my thigh measurements (cause I'm pretty small up top so I'm worried about those thighs) and it looks like I may have lost a few cm's there. I lost my paper with all my measurements a couple weeks ago and I still haven't made a new sheet. Opps.0

Ok... October challenges for me are officially DONE!!! I don't know if we need to take after photos this time or not, but I'm going to take them later tonight anyway, just for my profile photos. It helps me to know I'm making some progress. Hope it's a great Friday for everyone and have a fun weekend. 0

Wow... not bad at all, guys! Go SkinnY!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or is it SUCH a huge relief to be able to get some cardio in finally instead of all the strength challenges? I'm enjoying October so far... 0 -
It is a relief to not have 5 extra exercises on top of everything else.0

I sadly have to say I missed the workout last night... LOL. I did some swimmer's presses so I could feel better about it!0

lol!
I did not even workout yesterday (well a walk with the dogs but I don't count that) I need to fix that, but won't be able to today either! errrrrrr! I've been driving 2 hrs round trip for my mother in law to watch my kiddo's and I have a business dinner with a vendor tonight. I'm going to concentrate on NOT eating like crap, getting a salad, and stay within my calories!
Tomorrow i'll be hopping on that elyptical for sure!0 -
Hi guys!
trying to make a slideshow of our pics...anyone NOT want to be included?
T0 -
o.k. I'm guessing that since no one responded, we don't want a slideshow
Sorry i've been MIA, my life has been up-side down & backwards for a bit. We are very lucky that Tim's mom was taken off life support and is doing ok on her own. She has a long road ahead of her, but will heal with time.
I need some good easy dinner idea's. What do you guys eat for supper? My husband was a SAHD for a loooong time, and i've been spoiled by his awesome cooking. Now I get home from work, and he leaves for work, so i'm in charge of dinner. I'm not good at cooking, and need to get some skills quickly!0 -
Wish I could help with some easy dinner ideas, but as a college student still living in a dorm (UGH) I don't ever cook
