so my evil plan of 2 dyas with really low calories and sodium and then vodka last night made the scale budge a smidge downward. I will take it. I really thought I would have a gain this week since I haven't exercised at all (my hip) . Its amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it.

Bananananananananana BATMAN bnanaNA!

That has been in my head all day long. Thought I should share. :flowerforyou:

Bye Robin...have fun with the Scale Smashers!!

rjadams

bye bye my MM friends. I will miss you but at least I will go be with another former MM Faith.

HeatherShrinking

Bye Robin, Take care.... remember if you miss us you can always go out and eat a nice big piece of cake.. :devil:

Ok, I'm slightly concerned....we came back to MI on Friday and I got on the scale here today and it says I'm up 5lbs!!!! :noway:

Now, I'm sure I'm holding on to some water weight - my eating and water habits this weekend were less than favorable, but 5 POUNDS!?!?!?!? My hubby made a comment on Saturday morning that he weighed more on this scale than our MD one, but I didn't think to much of it. Until now. :grumble:

So, lots of veggies, fruit and water for me for the next two days. We're having pizza at my in-laws tonight....I NEED to only have 2 pieces. I also need a miracle! :sad:

nisijam5

OK....muscle heads...not sure how this week is going to turn out for us. Ron gained quite a bit with the stress of this job and my Dad visiting. I managed to maintain control with my Mom visiting. We agreed to eat home a lot, not go to the casino and she's not a drinker - so, it worked out well.

Sara, I hope that you get your miracle...

I am getting super re-focused this week.

I want to be the big winner next week
I want out of the 160's
I want to be out of obesity, I hover on the line at 173 :ohwell:

nisijam5

OK, peeps, I need a kick in the pants...I figured out our averages and think that should be our goals for next week, this would be about 7 lbs between all of us...here's yours if you want to participate:

Nisijam5 1.13

HeatherShrink 2.10

Irishgal 0.43

McFatterton 1.0

Ronbo123 0.40 (Ron can probs drop 2 lbs this week)

C'mon team, lets rally and get this done!!!

nisijam5

Alright Muscle Heads...Day 1 of Ripped in 30...I'm bringing my A-game this week.

WE ARE NOT LOSING ANYONE:mad:

I'm in! I need a swift quick in the rear too! I have a been a little naughty the past two days :devil:

HeatherShrinking

I'm in for -2.1 or more!

I'm really going to work my butt off to try to win it all next week. And really hoping one of the numbers I picked was for immunity, because I'm going to need it for the week I'm in New York.

irishgal44

Wow, my average sucks. I hate this .4 every week thing!!!

irishgal44

I've had a real crapper of a day. Ate a greek yogurt at 7a.m and then my son had a surgery and I ended up eating a pineapple muffin and 2 cookies in the waiting room/recovery. Never ate lunch and then ate at 4:00 when I got home - some soup quick and that's it. Just realized now I haven't eated supper...but nothing I ate besides the yogurt was good for me so I bet I will already be up for the week. So frustrated with this day and losing trust in our hospital, etc. I really hate this day!!

On a side note, my son is doing much better tonight (he had what was suposed to be a minor surgery and it ended up being an unexpected plastic surgery that lasted a looooong time). So now rather than a 1-2 day recovery, we're looking at 4-6 weeks of recovery and restrictions due to a mistake that the hospital is not admitting to but rather covering up. I'm NOT a happy mama. %^$&^$&^$. But rather than sitting and pounting about it anymore, I've decided to cool off and then write a beautifully written letter to the hospital involving the word "lawyer".

nisijam5

Oh, Mama, I am so sorry to hear all of this. How absoutely devastating for this to happen to your baby.

I think your outlet of writing the letter is a good start to let out your frustration. I would start to request records and ask to see the chart. You should be able to have access to the records and have a peak inside them. Get a lawyer sooner than later, if that's the case.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Awe, thanks. I think all we want is an appology - that's it - or at least them admitting fault. But i really doubt we'll ever get that. Grrr...

nisijam5

I think you are right about them admitting fault. :ohwell: Anyway, I think that you should put that in your letter as well. Instead of BS and tap dancing, say you are sorry.

Maybe, you can get them to comp the deductibles and your other costs if it's going to be that much longer due to medical error, you know?

irishgal44

That was a thought of mine tonight. I think our family has met our deductible this year...me with my sinus tachycardia issues back in Feb-May (and all the tests), Amaya's 2 surgeries and mayo referral in July and now this surgery...yeah...think it's met. LOL!!! :noway:

nisijam5

Ugh, you have had quite the medical year...time for some new docs even if you have to travel

irishgal44

AGREED!! :flowerforyou:

nisijam5

Alright Muscle Butts....what are you doing today to reach your goal?

Day 2 of RI30....so far, I am liking it...and, I'm sore from it :sad: I'd like to get 1/2 hour of elliptical as well.
Work from 3 to 11
Try to avoid drinking a pop at work which is a bad habit of mine

Ha, weighed in at 177 today....WTF? I was really bad on Wednesday after weigh-in. Then, I ate a 1/2 bucket of popcorn at the metrodome, so it's got to be the sodium. I counted that as my dinner. What a *kitten* head!!

So, now I need to lose a lb. a day...No problem, right?

HeatherShrinking

Go Kim Go!!! Whoohoo!! Nice workout! :drinker:

Maria- Hang in there. Hope your little one has as speedy as possible recovery. :flowerforyou:

Sara - Kick, Kick, Kick :happy:

When I weighted in this morning the scale said I was almost down 2 pounds. I really hope that sticks. I've finally gotten 100% back to being a calorie counting psycho!

So I really want to annihilate the competition this week... maybe we hunt down their addresses and send them tins of fudge. :devil: mwahhahahahaha!

nisijam5

I like your plan Heather.

I got off work early and plan to have some cocktails with hubs. I do have to say that I am wiped from the exercise today. Tomorrow, I will RI30 and elliptical. I do not want to lose anyone else from our team.

Ron is going to RIP as well....exercise, not die, that is.

I LOVE THE RALLY!!!

nisijam5

Yesterday, I went over on calories. I drank most of those. I did end up getting that cola at work. It's the only time I drink it 'cause I need the sugary, caffeine rush when I am at work. I am going to be dry the rest of the week tho.

Going to do RI30 in about 10 minutes and some elliptical. So, I should earn about 500 calories for the day. I'll continue to log the cals and stay within *fingers crossed*

I've been to the grocery store and stocked up on healthy foods. I've already made a pot roast today with veggies and a hash brown bake for tomorrow's breakfast.

I will continue to nag Ron; but, I think he has learned to tune me out :frown:

nisijam5

Thursday, 10/20...W1D1, 245 calories burned
Friday, 10/21..W1D2, 234 calories burned & 256 on the elliptical
Saturday, 10/22...W1D3, 247 calories & 234 on the elliptical

5 lbs weight except for the side lunges....I'm just not sure I do those right...clumbsy food that I am

Get your groove on today!! :flowerforyou: Off to work and take of the sickies :sick:

irishgal44

I'm much more emotionally stable today people - LOL!!!

So far, I'm doing well this week (minus yesterday, which was my free day).

Greek yogurt for bfast today, mini sub with 1/2 serving of pickle lays for lunch....not sure who I'm rooting for today...Packers/Vikings. Packers probably will win... I'm having a hard time with the whole "who to root for" thing. I am a huge Favre fan (sorry for the haters out there). So I was a Packer fan for years...then followed my sweet Brett over to MN and rooted for the Vikings. Now that he's gone...just don't know who to root for. Maybe the Titans? Karl Klug is from Caledonia (our little small town) and is starting for them this year. So...gooooo Titans! :noway:
Then I have a beef stew in the crockpot LOADED with vegies for supper. It's gonna be good.

Pretty low cal day for me as logn as I stay away from the leftover birthday cake. You know...the cake with homemade frosting and a raspberry filling in between layers.... (Lord, give me strength).

Heather - love your attitude and great job on the weight loss so far this week. Inspiring!

Kim - Great job on the exercise!! WHOOOT

nisijam5

Ohhhh Boy, I made someone mad!! :explode: I never intended to do it; but, somehow it happened. I wish she would have just contacted me first and I would have made it right. :frown: Do people really think that I am out to rig a on-line weight loss contest? I'm not a trained professional.

Anyway, I spend 7 hours at the football field today and I am wiped. :yawn: The boys won State Championship for 4th grade football. :drinker: They have the opportunity to go to Dallas for Nationals. I think that's so cool.

I made a good choice at Famous Dave's. No alcohol for me. Although, I really, really wanted some. I ordered from the 600 calories dinner menu and then added a loaded potato. Oh, well, I've just been dying for one.

Maria, glad you are feeling better!!!

I thought this was totally rigged - I swear I saw you sneak into my house last week and up my scale a little....cause you wanna win and it's rigged I tell ya....rigged, rigged, rigged!! LOL

So exciting about your son! WHOOOOOOT!

And Famous Dave's...totally awesome NSV for you! :flowerforyou:

How is everyone doing so far?

I did not resis the damn cake, but I did work it off on the elliptical and redeemed myself today. Yippie!

nisijam5

Hey MMs....

I hopped on the scale today at 176.6 :noway: I'm thinking it has to be the sodium from eating out so much yesterday (Wendys & Famous Dave's). In addition, I started working out again this week. Last week, no consistent exercise, lose 1.2 lbs. Exercise very well, up 2 lbs. I just hate it!! I don't know why my body does that.

Anyway, I'm just going to keep going on my merry way. Today will be Day #4 of RI30 and hoping to get the 30 minutes of elliptical as well. There is just no way I could do it yesterday. I went to Famous Dave's and didn't order drinks anticipating doing RIP; but, I was just exhausted. (and, happy)

Anyway, I think Ron will be down 3 lbs this week and that's great news :happy:

I"ve been telling myself all week "You need to win this week. You need to win this week." So I've been really good all week, until last night. I got home from work and still had 900+ calories left - yeah, didn't divide up my calories well. So I figured, ooohh.. I could eat chicken nuggets! So I did. Went 25 calories over. Not bad, but my weight was up a bit this morning. Crap... back to good foods only for the next two days.

nisijam5

I"ve been telling myself all week "You need to win this week. You need to win this week."

I've been telling Ron he has to win all week because his prize is to give Immunity to someone :bigsmile:
