Steph - I would like to compliment you: I have enjoyed getting to know you these past few months. You show such great strength not only at the gym but in your life in general. You are always here for each of us and you are open in sharing some of life's little quirks that get thrown your way. You are always honest about things when you slip-up because you know that we are here for you, and that we will learn from it also -- I appreciate that. You always give it 110% and have been so consistent in your weight loss. Thanks for the inspiration -- keep up the great work!!
Thank you Renae! I am honest and open because I figure that being quiet and bottled up is what got me where I was and I am NEVER going back there!! It has taken me a long time to realise it but I am consistent and am happy to be an inspiration here and at my gym :bigsmile:
Also real life compliment: I got asked tonight it I was the girl from Tuesday spin class(uhm yep, thats me). Wow, you look amazing and practically unrecognisable!
Love that and I realise that I do not look anything like I used to. I made a photo page that placed my photos from the last 22 months side by side. May need to get a new passport before I travel again!!0 -
I was up early at 4:20 am and at the Y at 5am for my zumba class. I'm very proud of myself for getting up this early and exercising, I thought I would be tired but after class I feel good.
Icewolf.....I asked the lifegaurd this morning (different one from Sat.) and she said the pool is 25 meters and 50 meters is a lap.
Well, got to get to work... have a great day
Zena, each length of the pool is equal to 1ft up the mountain. So every time you swim across the pool and touch the wall its 1ft. We are counting lengths in the pool, not laps.
Oooops! I forgot something here! Thank you to Cynthia for slapping me upside the head. We are keeping track of our exercise on that line with MB units. So you need to take the number of lengths you have swum and double it before entering it in the spreadsheet. That will convert your pool lengths to MB units. Sorry for any confusion!0 -
JJ & Becky- I understand the reason behind owning the compliments that are given to me. I am not very good at it and hope to say that I am by the end of the month. Thank you for adding that into the challenge for this month.0

I'm writing stuff down, but it might be weekend before I manage to put it in the spreadsheet. Sorry to be a pest, it's the first week of undergrad teaching and I'm finding it hard to find breathing space!0

“Have sex. It’s not so you have somewhere else to put your hands other than a jar of peanut butter. The reason is that having sex does a couple things: one, it activates the satiety part of your brain, so you don’t hunger for food as much. Two, it also stimulates the release of oxytocin, which can help fulfill emotional needs. So if you have sex as part of a healthy, monogamous relationship, in t=can help your dieting goals in the end (not to mention that sex obviously burns some calories too.) Just no whipped cream please.”
It also helps stop a migraine ;-) good for whatever ails ya, I say...lol0 -
ok..... So, I am proud of myself that I accomplished the zumba class this morning at 5 am.
and JJ I ack. your compliment and YES I did the zumba class this morning.
so compliment points for me are 40 for myself and 20 for ack. yours correct? = 60 I will not post it until someone lets me know it is correct or what it should be or what else to say to make it count.
So compliment points is 20 for accepting and acknowledging your compliment. To get the 40 points you would have had to post that something like: "I am really proud that I am commited enough to my fitness, my health, and this challenge that I rousted myself out of my nice warm bed at 4:30am to go to a 5am Zumba class when I would have rather stayed in bed. I am amazed at the change I have made in my thinking from 3 months ago." Just posting that you went to zumba for a 5am class does not count. You have to post about being proud/loving something about yourself/or being good at something for it to count.
[/quote]
JJ .....To get my points for complimenting myself, I am going to try one more time. I do not normally do this, so it is very hard for me, here it goes.
I am really committed to my fitness program today then I was in April 2011. I am proud of myself that I can get out of bed at 4:20am in the morning and go to my Zumba class at 5am. When, I would rather stay in bed next to my husband. I am flabbergasted that I have changed my habits and committed myself to a healthier life.0 -
Ziggie
--- Yay Ziggie!!!! Way to go on the comp!!!
And I am happy for you that you got up and went to the Zumba. Trust me, I'd still be sleeping at that time of day, unless I'd been up all night 
Way to go momma Keep dancin them calories away. Btw. I don't know if JJ told you but your laps = your MB points. each way that is. so your 8 laps you originally counted, that we turned into 16, that was 16 MB points. So future maths should be easy for you 1 lap = 1 point. I just yielded to JJ> 
JJ
-- Whether I do bicep curls (I use both arms at the same time with individual free weights) or whether I do incline press using the resistance bands which requires me to pull with equal amount of force in each arm. (Pecs) I count the single weight amount. But this is your challenge. I've already said my piece on how the majority of the world that I have encountered has done it. I count it single, because to me, that's how it's done. I am not the one that has to live with the number fu. My soul is content You decide how Lexie & others are to enter the numbers, it's your challenge.
Lexie
-- Pretty awesome running for 25 minutes woman, XL jacket to boot? Jeez what's next you going to get a 2nd job as a model for a catalog company? (And I don't mean Lane Bryant!) Keep at it you smexy woman you
bobbie
-- see my migraines, they don't like the motion so much.. but it does fix about 80% of the other aches and pains you get, I'll give you that *tee hee* ;D
Brisa
-- Thanks for the compliment And I love your new pic. Is that you and your fiancee? I forgot to ask the other day when I saw you posted it. Muy guapo chica... TOM ir pronto y tu ki ki ki todo al noche ... AHAHAHAHAHA
Tina
-- If you like the numbers in strength training, wait till you realize you can pick up the laundry basket or the bottle of propane gas and it's not heavy anymore. Or better yet you don't have to call your man to come get something for you because it's no longer too heavy..Yeaaah that's the stuff.
Jane
-- I am so proud of you for venturing into the meathead pit. You have warmed the cockles of my heart that you finally ventured in and came out the other side loving every minute of it. *sniffs* So happy.
Staci
-- Wear my HRM, why didn't I think of that... Genius!!! WE'll have to see who burns more over the next couple times. Tee hee!
Okay so Lexie you asked about the machines. Why can you lift more on the machines than you can on the free weights. It's simple, and complex all in one. I'll try and make it easy to understand. Lets use the chest press machine as an example. When you use the machine, everything is contained and aligned inside the framework of the machine, you sit, you put all your power under the bar, grip and SHOVE. And you don't have to worry about anything else. So all you power goes up and out and you can push a great deal of force that way.
However, when you use free weights. You are no longer contained within a single vector of direction. When you PUSH or in this case. Raise your arms from your sides to directly overhead (the traditional motion) Which is exercising the exact same motion, however you'll notice your biceps/triceps are not involved, you're using your arms as levers, and at the fulcrum is your pec muscle pulling all that weight through the air. If you do it with a straight arm, which is proper form, and 3x the difficulty of a bent arm, you'll grow your muscles and burn upwards of 5x the energy if you go straight arm. Why? Again physics. The angle of the weight and the distance it travels and because the lever is longer (your arm, bent vs straight) makes the weight heavier in straight arm, than bent, vs straight upwards on the machine.
The second difference in the free vs machine is based on the fact that in the machine your vector is controlled inside the machine. You can only go one line, one direction, no change. And if you can't make it. You drop the weights, no harm no foul. Sure it makes a loud crash, everyone glares at you, but no real harm is done. You screw up with the free weights, you rip a tendon, you snap a bone, you go this way, your arm socket goes that way, you're in the ER in a cast or sling for weeks ala months worst case is you take someone out with you along the way. My point here is, you have to use energy to control the free weights. So some of your power is used to control velocity, direction, etc. So you can't use all of your force to move as much weight.
However, you will build more muscle, faster with free weights than you will with machine, because you are forced to control velocity, vector and worry about injury to yourself and others. It makes you train your tendons and the other smaller conjunctive tissues around it, which makes you more fluid and graceful to be honest than you get from using a machine.
Keep using the free weights. You'll notice a difference very soon.
On another note. Crazy girl was dared by Joe & Greg to get a Purple mohawk... I got the 'hawk, will dye it purple for halloween.
It's gonna be an interesting week..
Oh that and every muscle hurts today, I think I maybe overdid it yesterday on return to burn day. Tee hee. oh well there's always tomorrow. 0 -
Yikes!!!! If I am still welcome I would love the join this mountain climbing challenge. I had family show up unexpectedly and they visited for a couple of days and left today. Was a lovely visit so I am not complaining. But my exercise and foods went down the drain last few days.
My name is Linda, currently 45 years old, soon to add another year to that number.
I live in Southern Ontario, Canada. Have 2 sons - one who is 10 and other who is 24 and on his own. My weight as of last week was 292 but I believe will show a gain this week cause of too much sodium and not the best food choices this week. My hightest weight was around 400lbs I believe because the scale I bought would say "ERROR" each time I stepped on it and the highest weight it could calculate is 380lbs. Took a few months of cutting out chips (my addicted food choice ) for my scale to finally say 376 or something like that a few years ago. Joined MFP about a year ago @ 325lbs and have lost about 35lbs and I feel so-so about that number because I believe I should have lost double that amount in a year, but on the other hand I didn't gain and I am 35lbs lighter than I was a year ago. So thats about it in a nut shell. I hope you let me join you all.

I also forgot to mention. MY hairdresser went crazy when I went in today and was so happy for how much I had lost and said how great I looked and always gives me a huge hug and says congratulations and keep up the great work. So I thanked her very much and went on my way. Going to get some sleep and see how I feel tomorrow. Burn again 0

Sent you a PM Linda!0 -
Staci – where the HRM with your hubby! Once I buy one, that is one thing I am going to do too! He looks at me like I’m crazy, but I am super curious. I have always heard it was a lot of calories burned, and I want to see how many!
Cynthia – Thanks! I figured it had something to do with all that, but I didn’t really know the technical terms. But, I have always liked the free weights better, so I will continue with them. Love the new do!
Bigmama – welcome to our group and challenge!
Ziggie – I would LOVE to give you a compliment! I am just amazed and proud of how far you have come since you have joined our little family. You have never given up, even if things were slower than you wanted. You have always kept going on this journey and you have started to increase your intensity for workouts. So great job! You are doing amazing and I can’t wait to see what else you are able to accomplish!!!
I didn’t do much in the past 2 days, except drink water and get/give compliments. I was so tired yesterday, I laid down to take a 15 minute nap…and I woke up 3 hours later! I am trying not to stress about it, because I obviously needed the sleep. I will get to the gym today though, so I will get some more miles done! Also, next week is my fall break, and I plan on going to the gym everyday. And, I was thinking about challenging myself to try a different class each day. That will be different for me because I usually stay away from the classes! I have to run and get everything ready for today. Have a great Wednesday everyone!0 -
Okay so thanks to Bobbie I am in yay!:drinker: Thanks for vouching for me.:flowerforyou: I am Amy and I am a Spanish teacher in Las Vegas, and need to lose about 90 pounds still. I have had a hard time keeping focused on me this school year and have a tendency to let the students take my me time but need to stop doing that (easy said since I just took on Key Club:laugh: ). I am here because I find that when I am in challenges and people are counting on me and pushing and encouraging me I do much better, don't we all? Thanks for letting me join Knotty!:flowerforyou:0

I dont know why this posted twice?0 -
Renae I would like to give you a compliment! I am so impressed with how consistent you remain in your exercise and food despite the incredibly busy life you lead with your family. You just fit stuff in wherever you can and were one of my inspirations for this challenge. That you keep your shoes in the car so you can go for a walk while your kids are at sports practice, put your bike in the rack on your car so you can go for a bike ride at lunch and work tons of exercise into your vacations is just inspiring to me. Rock on mama!
Thank you JJ - I love that I helped inspire you for one of this months challenges. I had not felt proud of myself in so many years, but during these past 8 months I have gained that feeling back again. I am so proud of my will power and my determination to do this for myself. Everyday I wake up and my first thought is "what should I do for myself today?" Everything else in my life has improved because of this. My sneakers are in my car today and I will be taking a nice power walk at noon. I'm so worth it!
Thanks for the compliment, that felt good, and thanks for pulling this fun challenge together - you are awesome!!0 -

hey everyone, hope you're having a great day
i'm heading out to my pottery course - it's the first time in 5 years i'm doing something for ME
its only the 2nd nite and i'm making a tea pot, we'll see how it turns out i suspect it will look nothing like a tea pot0 -

Oh Cynthia, you make me laugh so hard!
So on the weights, use the weight of whatever you are lifting, as per Cynthia. I still don't see the difference between two free weights for the incline press vs a dumbell for the bench press vs a leg press, but I also do not lift many weights and am gonna go with whatever will not give me bad number fu (because heaven knows I already have enough bad number fu!).
I love that you got a mowhawk and are going to dye it purple for Halloween. You can actually get colored hairspray if you don't want it to be too permanent. My oldest son wanted a mowhawk when he was 5, so I got him one. It didn't last because it was hard to wear a hat over it, his mom had to do his hair everyday to make it look good and, this might be a deal breaker for you too, you can't do a somersault with a mowhawk.0 -
Bonnie I would like to give you a compliment. Bonnie, my Biker Witch sister, I am amazed at your strength. You have been through a lot of pain and trama in your life, and yet you are still so sweet, kind and willing to put yourself out there. I find that to be very brave and inspiring. I thank you for sharing with me what you have and offering your friendship and support.
Now one for Steph. Miss Stephanie, my other Stitch Witch sister, I am so impressed with you. You have lost 111 pounds which is very inspiring, but that is not why I am impressed. I am impressed with your brutal honesty with yourself and your willingness to share that with all of us. Its easy sometimes to think that someone that has lost over 100 pounds already has it all figured out, in a way that I never will. That its easy for you to lose weight now and you don't have to work very hard at the exercise or struggle with eating the wrong food. But you are always willing to let us in on your moments where you make a bad choice and try to recover from it, or doubt yourself, or just have a rough day. That makes what you are doing and accomplishing seem much more "real" to me and therefore much more attainable. Thank you for sharing ALL of your journey with us. I am so proud of you.0 -

I promise I will acknowledge this but you've made me cry and I need some time to pull myself together.0 -
JJ- I would like to pay you a compliment and tell you that I am impressed with your dedication and willingness to make sure we all understand how to track our info for this challenge with out making anyone feel bad for not understanding it. I love this challenge and am sure it is going to stretch my comfort zone a little which I think is something I may need as I feel like I have been getting a little too comfortable in my routine. Thank you.0

Thanks for the welcome. I am new here and already I love you all. Such wonderful posts you make to one another. I hope in time I/we get to know each other better and become friends also.
One question do I place my name where it says OPEN on the chart or do I wait until someone puts up my name? Not in a hurry I am keeping my workouts on paper right now so I can post it later.
Thanks:flowerforyou:0 -
Hiya Linda, Just added your name to the chart so you should be all set. Welcome aboard.
JJ
Thanks for your patience and understanding of my pain in the *kitten* mathness You rock.
As for the hair assistance. Gracias. I may look up the hairspray. I was thinking they should have some kind of temp dye, but to be honest I don't care if it lasts a week or so Cartwheels not a problem, haven't ever done even one in my life, someday But it does hit the roof of the car. Good thing I own a convertible
Amy & Andi youve also been added to teh chart
Lexie
De nada... con mucho gusto...
Renae
-- I always forget to say. That as much as you look forward to reading my crazy *kitten* posts. I look forward to reading your responses because you always have the nicest things to say. And usually you say something that I don't know. Which for me, is frankly rare. And I know that's you know conceited or whatnot but it's sadly true. So I do love reading your posts. Thanks.
Stephanie
-- As much as Renae's posts are smart, your posts always make me feel warm and fuzzy afterwards. I don't know why. Like I've just been hugged. Really well. Which is awesome because I don't have any siblings and it's nice to get a hug now and then.
Staci
-- I have to say thank you for your 'thank you' post you made in the thread 'over yonder' today. It saved my bacon 3x today on compliments. So for your wisdom. Thank you for keeping me from disavowing compliments. It was still hard to say thank you. I still had to look at the ground. WTF is that? *sighs* I'll work on it.
So I'm feeling very sick and depressed and queasy (I posted in the SC&AR thread) so I'm just going to post my 3 rl compliments and then go to bed I think.
One: I went to see the endocrinologist about my stupid thyroid. (no result, lab tests, ultrasound, see me in 2 months, wtf people). But the nurse who checked me in when she was taking my history I told her about the weight loss and she asked how, I told her move more eat less. She looked like she was going to cry or hug me or both I didn't know wtf was going on. She said I was the first person who ever told her that and that she was so happy for me that I was proving that it actually works. That I wasn't taking the easy route of using gastric bypass (because it never works people just gain it back) and that she was so proud of me she was going to tell everyone what a fantastic job I was doing. So I said, "thank you" (thank you staci)
Two: I was at the Clinique counter and buying moisturizer (and far too much other stuff I got sucked into, it always happens) and I was jabbering (pre Jobs news) and all whatever and we were talking and she asked about my Underarmor and I was telling her I had to wear it to keep all the jiggly fat in. And she was like uh why, and I told her about the weight loss and that I have batwings everywhere and it was gross so I wear that to keep it all held in while it re-attatches and shrinks to my body. And she said thank you so much for sharing! Her mom was loosing a lot of weight and was having a lot of floppy skin problems and so she would go help her get the shirts and I told her they make pants too. And she was very excited and thanked me and said congratulations on the weight loss also. And I said "Thank you." (Thank you staci)
Three: I almost forgot I had to pick up some cologne I wanted to get for Erik. (Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue) wooot. And so I went over to the counter and it happened to be next to the Michael Kors, (which I like) and so I got some for me. I know, so bad. Macy's loved me today. And so the clerk had a little free gift thingy they were handing out if I came back in at the end of the month for whatever. So I said yes. (who doesn't love shopping) And I told her I'd send it to my Sister in law who's birthday is coming up next month. She said I was very sweet and considerate to share my goodies. I told her I was going to include some of the free stuff I got from clinique too because as a stewardess (flight attendant whatever) she loves that stuff and I know it's expensive for her. So she said that was very very nice of me and I said, "thank you". (you guessed it, Thank you staci"
So that's my day, I walked out of Macy's after doing my little 2.5 hour walk about. I tried on tall calf boots. NOT even close. 3 inches from zipping. But I did get a pair almost exactly like the ones I wore in highschool in 1984. I am so giggidy over that, especially since they were 49.99 and I saw them in a catalog yesterday for 99.99.
Have a great night all. *waves*0 -
Cynthia- glad it helped. I often have to remind myself to just say thank you and just leave it.
Today was a bit chaotic. We had inspectors at work so everyone was going a little nutso freaking out about everything. I kept telling them look they have rules we follow them every single day every single time there is nothing to worry about. They still do. We passed with flying colors. But it is like this every time. Got in the car to come home after work and battery was dead. I mean dead dead. Hubby came with a new battery (mine had never been changed and my car is eight years old. But I love it and am just dreading the day it might die. So, I had to make a choice Curves and Insanity or Curves and dinner. Dinner won so tomorrow I am determined to behave like a beast and do 2 Insanity workouts. I may melt into a puddle of sweat by tomorrow night ha, ha we will see. Off to log my info for today. Have a great night all.0 -
Linda - so glad you are joining us here. It's always fun getting to know new people. You're doing great in your weight loss. What is your next goal? A couple of us here like to write our next goal weight on the inside of our wrists. It's a good reminder as we move through our days. Right now I have 214 written on mine. I've been hovering at 215-216 for a couple of weeks and I'm ready to move on. As soon as I'm feeling better I'm going to kick my workouts up a notch. I am the one everyone calls consistent around here, which is nice, but I'd really like to push myself a little more. That's my next goal.
Cyndi - love the new haircut. I keep saying that once I reach 170 I am chopping off most of my hair so I can drop my last 20lbs without the hassle of styling my hair. I've always wanted to try short short hair but haven't had the nerve. Afraid my face would stick out too much. I liked your One/Two/Three stories and how you used your manners to say 'thank you' after. I have a bit of a problem with that too. Gotta work on it. I tend to wince and put myself down when I get a compliment.
Drink up - thirsty thursday0 -
Happy Thursday Everyone!
Well I decided to take today off from the gym. My head was feeling a bit funny (its fine now) but I thought, its a sign that today is to be my off day. Instead I'm home and dancing around the house to my new Lady Antebellum CD so I will still be able to log for the challenge.
Drink your water!0 -
Good afternoon, climbers. I didn't accomplish much of anything yesterday except drinking water, which I'll log this evening after my workout.
REMINDER: Today is Thirsty Thursday, which means double points for water...it's time to float away the fat!!! I've gotten a slow start, but I'm determined to get in at least 16 glasses today!0
