    My apologies to the pink team, but I am not doing well with this challenge! It all started going on vacation and starting out at +6 the first week. I have not managed to get anything off and actually weigh a few more pounds. I eat so healthy but haven't been working out due to my feet. I have my custom orthotics which are really helping. I am going to start working out again. I saw the doctor and they detemined I have insulin resistance (same as metabolic syndrome) so that explains my inability to lose weight right now. I am also on the low side for thyroid. So I have some supplements now and I will have to stick to extremely low carb in order to lose any weight. I have some hope but at the same time feel so pissed off at how much time this is taking me. I need to have consistency which is something that I struggle with. Even when I lost over 100 lbs over a 3 year period, I was so inconsistent. Lose 20 pounds in a month, then nothing for 6 months. I am starting to learn that my body is fighting against me and that pisses me off even more. All I can do is my best. I appreciate all of your friendship and support and I need the challenges. I can't focus on weight right now unfortunately as it just brings me down. He said this could take 6 months to get right. So for at least 6 months, I need to work out 6-7 days per week and eat very low carb. Even when I have carbs, he said I cannot eat more than 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup in one sitting. This is the example he gave me. If I eat 1 1/2 cups of rice in one sitting, I will gain weight. If I eat the same 1 1/2 cups of rice throughout the day at 3 different meals, I will not gain weight. This is because my body is not working right at this time. So for me, a calorie is not a calorie. It really matters what I eat. The crazy thing is that I already eat low carb most of the time (although I have my moments like when people bring in leftover holiday candy). I do need to start working out again. He recommended periodic fasting which I also already do. I just need to decide what is important to me. My health or the thousand other things that vie for my attention.

    Sorry for the long post. For those of you that read it, thanks!

    Tara-NO, I wish, but my flight was delayed so I didn't get in until after 6 and then had to eat dinner and take my M-I-L's present over to her for her b-day. I will definitely get it in tomorrow and finish this week off strong. I will probably do a morning workout and then ZUMBA at night! Glad you got your workout in!

    Thanks Tara. I'm just trying to educate myself on this stuff and not worry about my weight right now. Once I start doing things right, it will start coming off again.

    Tausha, sorry for my lack of weigh-ins.

    Sorry for my delays - been crazy lately! Update for last week's challenge:

    Thursday: 79 mins/765 cals (didn't count my house cleaning & laundry or taking Kitty back to V-E-T for follow up tho!); UNDER cals by 119 WHOO HOO!!
    Friday: 99 mins/1119 cals: UNDER cals by 205 (possibly more since I added quick cals to account for anything extra I may have ate while Baby Sis & BF were over); Yea, me!
    Saturday: Rest day - no "official" cals burned but did spend a few hours in IKEA getting ideas - logged as walking - 160mins/537 cals; was over cals due to treating ourselves, not too worried since had plans to do a killer workout Sunday
    Sunday: 105 mins/1002 cals: OVER by 101 :grumble: BOO!! I was so close and then I drank more whine :tongue:
    Monday: 114 mins/954 cals: UNDER cals by 13 - yea, me!
    Tuesday: 121 mins/1049 cals: UNDER cals by 119 - whoo hoo, I'm on a roll!
    Wednesday: 95 mins/1041 cals: WAY OVER cals by over 600 :grumble: Didn't like the roll anyways :tongue:

    Burn as many cals as possible in the most minutes TOTALS: 773 minutes / 6467 calories
    Under cals: 4/7 days

    Did better than I thought I would! Still no change in weight or measurements - just in a holding pattern. We'll see how the next couple weeks go. PS - I can't officialy weight myself anymore as I just joined a challenge to NOT weight until after the New Year! But I'm guessing if I haven't lost more than 1 pound no matter how vigorous or not I am I probably won't "lose" anymore... However I'm still checking measurements & I'm pretty sure I'm gaining muscle which is why theres no change there either - the fat is solidifying, so to speak :laugh:
