Good morning ladies! I haven't finished my food diary from yesterday. I'm bad about tracking dinner!! I did go to the gym and do 30 minutes on the elliptical. Would of been a better calorie burn but I had to stop half way through to go to the bathroom! I hate when that happens! Tonight is step aerobics plus abs!! Hope I don't get stuck in traffic this time again!!
Hope everybody has a fantastic Tuesday!!0 -
I ended up not meeting my water goals yesterday. I had a diet pepsi instead.:embarassed:
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday
Pos_me, hey girl we miss you come and say hi!!!!
Jess, great job on the exercise and here is to NO traffic tonight.
I have a hurt finger and any time I need to type a wsx it kills me! :frown: :laugh: So I will see you all later because I have work to do and this stupid finger and I type s a lot so it seems.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I had an awesome water day yesterday. I didn't even aim at it.....just kept drinking it. Stayed under my goal cals too.
I'm not exercising as much as I was...I have to change that.0 -
Hello old and welcome to new members!
I dropped off the radar for a week - work's insane (not an excuse, I know) and I was out of town all weekend.
I took last week off from logging. My trainer was concerned that I was paying more attention to calories than I was to nutrition, so I've re-focused on eating as much whole food as possible, and to limit my weigh-ins, which has been a struggle for me. I wasn't up or down at the end of that week, which is good.
I'm still hovering just above 200 pounds, though, which is frustrating since I've been at this point since July. JULY. :mad: :sad: :grumble: :noway:
I'm out of town for business Thursday - Friday and will be at a friend's house and the state fair this weekend, so limited online time. I'm just going to continue to do and try new things at the gym, pushing myself running (I did 4 miles this weekend with limited problem....for some reason is was way easier than bumping up to 3.5 miles), and focusing on making as many good food choices as possible.
Momma - thanks for the new thread and for the continued kick in the pants to get on here and post.
My goals for October:
1. run the entire 10K on October 29th.
2. Lose 2 - 3 pounds (that would put me under 200)
3. No post-dinner snacking unless I'm still hungry after a large glass of water.
4. Log, but don't obsess over being under on calories.0 -
checking in for yesterday:
calories: good but over on carbs
exercise: good - an hour of step
water: not so good
proud: lost a pound at my weightloss challenge
Instead of being motivated by losing a pound at my weightloss challenge class - it was a little demotivating. They had everyone who had lost a pound or more stand - and everyone but one person stood (I felt bad for that one person), then if you only lost a pound you had to sit, and then 2 pounds, and so on until the 10-12 people who had lost 6 our more pounds in a week were standing (I couldn't believe how many people had lost 6+ pounds in a week). I know the purpose of the challenge is to encourage us to lose weight - but the 'shaming' side of the challenge is a little weird to me. We have to pay $1 for every pound we gain. Obviously it is working for a lot of people in the class - but psychologically I'm not sure if it is going to work for me. We'll see. I guess I really don't want to have to be embarrassed by paying - so maybe that will be motivation enough.
The nutrition aspect of the class is ok, but nothing new. Higher protein, less carbs ... but they push lowfat where the nutrition class I just took pushes full fat. I think I will stick with the full fat since I already lost 31 pounds eating full fat foods. It is annoying too that they are selling herbalife after the meetings - I'm guessing that is the main purpose for them to do the class but that wasn't in the class description. Plus I hate to say it because it sounds a little like sour grapes - but the leader isn't the best speaker and she is super skinny and just looks a bit ill to me. We'll see how it goes I guess. I know there are people there doing it for the 3rd or 4th time and have had a lot of success. I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing - but trying to get the 'challenge class' to keep me more accountable so that I don't have to pay.
I'm still dealing with teenager drama ... I get too wrapped up in it, and I let it really get to me.0 -
I WILL LIKE TO JOIN. I AM 266 NOW AND NEED TO LOOSE ABOUT 100 POUNDS. I REALLY WANT THIS WEIGHT OFF OF ME AS IT FEELS TO HEAVY AND VERY DEPRESSING. I AM VERY MOTIVATED AT THIS POINT EVEN THOUGH MY WEIGHT LOSS HAS BEEN SLOW. I CURRRENTLY EXERCISE 3x A WEEK. AND LOG ALL FOODS IN MY DIARY.0

Welcome to all the new people!
Allison-Glad you drop in to say hello! I like the idea of focusing on the nutricious calories!
Kdrules-Welcome!
lstpaul-I'm really trying to focus on less carbs and more protein! I have noticed when I go high on carbs I'm starving all day long and I'm miserable and cranky!
Dawn-Great job on the water!!
Momma-I hope your finger gets better!
Deb-Come back more often!
I have a predaciment...I forgot my sports bra at home. :sad: I live too far to drive home before my class. I'm too busty to just run to Walmart and pick one up. Mine are expensive. Like $60! And not easy to find. I can't decide if I should just go in my regular one or skip my workout tonight. :indifferent:0 -
RedneckWmn: My nutrition class last winter was big on eating more protein and less carbs - and I think that really works. I haven't been as good at following it lately though. My goal this week is to eat more protein!
I would say go to step class in your regular bra - unless it has just too little support. I tried once with my worst bra and ended up giving up when we started doing jumping jacks .. it just wasn't worth it!0 -
Hi ladies!
I'm just enjoying my last little bit of maternity leave before having to go back to work next week. I'm very bummed and anxious about it. Hubby and I are desperately trying to come up with a way for me to stay home with baby and for him to go back to school full-time. Yeah, pretty unrealistic so we'll settle for one or the other.
Oooh, Teresa! You're getting one of these! Did I miss you telling us when you're due? Victoria's (meokk) due date is rapidly approaching in just a few short weeks!

Hello Again! Its been about 18months since I have been around this group. I got pregnant last summer & stopped tracking & participating. I had my 2nd son Feb 28th & have been trying to get back into the swing of things. The good news is that all the pregnancy weight came off pretty fast & i have been able to make some progress since then :-) Some on my own & some due to illness but weight loss is weight loss. I am now just trying to keep it off & keep on losing. My trainer has been harrassing me to start tracking again. I am finally fitting into pants that I havent worn in 4 years since before I got pregnant with my first son...its a good milestone but now i am having toruble finding professional looking tops in my closet because I realized that I have been wearing big baggy sloppy stuff since I got pregnant the first time. I am trying to look more professional so that I actually look like I could be an asst principal. I have been shadowing the asst. principal at my school to gain admin experience when I am not teaching.
I am currently 207...I am really hoping to break the 200 barrier by Nov 18th because my hubby & I leave for our 10 year anniversary trip to Costa Rica on Nov. 19th!
I am looking forward to getting back into this with everyone & to keep losing :-)0 -
KDubMommy-Welcome back! I remember you! I had no idea you were pregnant!! Congrats on the baby and the baby weight coming off!!
Julie-How is meokk doing? She doesn't drop by and say hello? Enjoy your last bit of time with your bundle of joy. I know it's gonna be hard for you! HUGS!
lstpaul-That's what I was afraid is the one I'm wearing not be supportive enough. I convinced my Mom to meet me at the gym and bring me my sports bra. VICTORY! Still going to step!0 -
Jess - I'd go to the gym anyway and try it - if it wont work go get on a bike or elliptical machine!
KDubMommy! YAY!!! Nice to see you again!:flowerforyou:
Wait - Meroke AND Teresa expecting? I am SO confused. I keep thinking it might be contagious then I remember I've been spayed. :laugh:
Checking in for yesterday!
Calories - I came in with 64 to spare after eating all of my exercise calories. And of course 64 is well within the margin of error...
Water - GREAT! (Momma - I count diet sodas - I know I know but REALLY?:huh: I always count my green tea as water!)
Exercise - Day 1 Week 7 of the 5K101 Three sets of 12 minute jogs :bigsmile:
Proud: I missed last Friday and I didn't feel well but I STILL went to the gym and did the 5K101. I'm also proud that I didn't drink the glass of wine I was offered last night. Sure sure - hell may have frozen over while pigs were flying around in the sky... but hey - once in awhile saying no to wine can't hurt.0 -
Hi Kdubmommy I remember you too. I had no idea you had a baby. Congrats
Julie, Maisie is so cute! I remember I had to go back to work 6 weeks after my first. :frown: But when she was a year old we decided I would stay home with her and go back to work when she started school. Right before she started I had another baby. Well I kept having another baby before they went back to school. I joked that right before time to start school I get preggers so I don't have to get a job. hahaha. But now Ryan is in school and I have no one at home and I am not going to have a baby any time soon. The reason I don't get a job now is because of Ryan needing me when he gets home and he gets out early 2 x a month. I plan to go back to work when Ryan goes mainstream (out of the special ed class) Not sure who would hire me because I have been out of the work force for 17 years but hey we will see. Not to mention that I am actually very busy running children around while hubby is at work. I guess I still qualify to stay home with the kiddies. I do love being a sahm honestly.
Jess, glad your mom is so nice to meet you at the gym.
mstahl, okay then sister I drank my water yesterday.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
i'm definitely in!!! This is what i need to stay accountable!!:happy:0

Okay checking in
Calories 1570
exercise: Moving furniture, vacuuming,Mopping.......YES I am counting this. I MOVED the dining room table and scrubbed underneath.
Water: Yes,
Proud: I am proud that I am back to tracking my food. I have not been tracking it for awhile.
Welcome Wildmedic69 glad you are here:flowerforyou: ( I swear I sent you a hello message already and I am not sure where it went so if you find it don't think I am crazy)0 -
Great job Momma on getting back to tracking. I find its so easy to "forget" I ate something. Im way more honest with myself when I track it
Checking in for the day :-)
Calories came in at 1222 (1380 is my goal)
Exercise- Hmmm well not today, busy with the little one but did clean the house and made homemade split pea soup for dinner mmmmm!!
Water- Not so great on actual water. Today was cold out so it was a coffee & tea day. But Im plenty hydrated.
Proud: I made a pan of Caramelitas for dessert tonight and I usually eat 2-3 but stopped at one and Im TOTALLY ok with that.
Hope everyone has a great night!!

Hello everyone, since I just completed my diary I figured I would check in for the day.
Calories: 1379 (My goal is 1490)
Exercise: Trying to stay on track with my food for a couple weeks then I will start exercising.
Water- Nailed it!
Proud: Tomorrows dinner is already made, baked chicken parmesean.
Hope everyone has a great night!!0 -
Hump day! Whoot!
Checking in for Tuesday:
Calories - 1236 which means I didn't eat my exercise calories and that was by design
Water - I did fine but not much extra...
Exercise - 1 hour of swimming (and still whining about hating swimming!)
Proud - Last night was stressful. I came home to a stressed out sick teenager who (at the moment) doesn't WANT to go to college or do anything else after highschool, a husband who was cranky about money, a car load of groceries that stepped up the money stress AND I still made a healthy dinner! I smoked chicken sausages with spinach and fetta cheese in them, and served them on a bed of sauteed cabbage that I tossed with white quinoa.0
