LadyPersia - Yay for weight loss farming! :-)
vallejos6 - Happy anniversary yesterday!
I'm still having health issues but I've been staying with my green numbers. :-) Hoping to be 100% again soon.0 -
Wheel of Fortune, Jeremy came in 3rd place, but went home with $18,000. It was fun to watch, he did great at the begining, but made one mistake and he never got the chance to redeem himself! Thanks for asking.
Sunday/Monday, a group of friends and I started a "liver cleanse". Which includes 2 supplements (pill form and shake form), 2x's per day along with all organic, no processed foods. Thank goodness you can have 1 serving of lean meat (Chix, Venison etc). No exercise because you are already so tierd from your liver working overboard to get all the toxins out of your body.
Toxins include pesticides on normal fruits/vegies, antibiotics etc given to animals and no dairy products (yogurt, milk etc). I'm starting day three, and woke up irritable (REALLY IRITIATBLE), I certainly hope it is because TOM is starting today.
Here is a blurp from my paper work;
Why detox?
Most of the foods we eat contain pesticides, animal hormones, toxins, and antibiotics which decrease the liver and colons ability to naturally detoxify and digest these foods. When the liver and colon are not working properly the whole body becomes toxic! This toxicity produces a variety of symptoms: inability to lose weight, fatigue, skin changes, inflammation and allergies.
#1 Rule in detoxification=Eat Organic and Free Range
Eating fruits and vegetables sprayed with pesticides interfere with liver function. Most animals are injected with growth hormone and antibiotics which change our stomach bacteria and compete with our natural hormones.
This is the second time i've done this cleanse. Last time was only 5 days, and I think this time will only be 5 days. It is reccomended that you do 5-10 days. I figure 5 is better then nothing though. I felt great after the last round of five days, but did not get the chance to see any weight loss on a scale. I'm not really worried about that as much as cleaning out my body.
How is everyone else doing?
PS I don't often post, but i'm here serveral X's a day reading up on what everyone else is posting because i'm addicted! LOL0 -
Now that Canadian Thanksgiving is over time to get serious and
get back to losing again. This plateau is long over due to get
broken.
Good Luck with your motivation and exercise.0 -
It was a bit of a rough week for me. I didn't stick to my healthy routine as I planned, it was also Thanksgiving on the weekend so of course I indulged and I worked quite a bit which didn't give me time to get my butt to the gym. Now that it's all over let's hope for a better week. That saying i'm still 194.5 and I still need to get a scale where the needle doesn't keep moving back and fourth when I stand on it.
Hope everyone is doing well and once again congrats to the winners of this week!0 -

So this week has not been good to me as far as my eating habbits even though i've been within my calories, but last week I did really well and this week is just not my week I guess. I hope next week gets alot better.0 -
I hope everyone is starting out full throttle today.:bigsmile:
Keep it going and Good Luck next week. :happy:

I stayed the same this week at 186.0 . Im hoping for a better week next week at least i did not gain though !
I am feeling so much better this year than i did last year ! 50 pounds lost since January and i am so excited to see the changes that i am making in myself ! I have so much more self confidence now and i am so much happier !0 -
Good morning, all my Hubba Hubba friends! I am *sHiNiNg*, hope everyone is too! :happy:
So, I'm here in grey, rainy NJ this morning sending out good wishes to everyone to have a super, healthy, weight-losing weekend! I weigh myself on Thursdays and Mondays, and yesterday the scale was down a bit from Monday, so I should have another loss to report on Monday if I have a good "watch those portions and exercise" weekend! And...l can do it! And....so can all of you!!!!
It was kind of depressing earlier this AM....I was on a website reading about BMR....and I calculated that for my age, height, weight and being a female, my BMR is 1500 if I sleep all day, and if I get up and do little or no exercise, it jumps to 1800. Also, I read how your BMR goes down as you age. Boo to that!!!! So,1800! No wonder I gained weight over the past couple of years! I was definately eating more than 1800 calories a day! Ofcourse, I would say I'm a bit more active, so I could probably eat more than 1800 calories a day....but I'm still going to have to really monitor how much I'm eating once I lose some more weight and I begin my attempt to keep it off. I'm hoping that, ultimately, if I really watch my portions for 4-5 days a week, I should be able to not be as careful with portion sizes 2-3 days a week without gaining the weight back. We'll see........
Sorry to all of those who have had a stressful time this month. I'm lucky to be a retired grandma. I don't have to deal with workplace stress. However, I do have to deal with my open 24/7 kitchen! I still find myself wandering in there opening cabinets or the frig to find a snack even when I'm not really hungry. To combat that, I keep as busy as possible, which is easy on days I have the little grandchildren here. But when they're not here....I keep busy doing paperwork or cleaning. My house is looking really clean these days....LOL!
Pam3 - Have fun in Vegas! I've never been there, but we have Atlantic City here in NJ, so I've been there a few times. I'm not much of a gambler though. I stick with the poker slots. Ofcourse, I've never won any money either, lol! I've seen a few good shows there though.
So.......c'mon Hubbas! Everyone have a good weekend! Everyone of us can do this! Exercise and watch those portion sizes!
Let's get healthy, let's get fit......and let's lose those extra pounds we're carrying around! Woo Hoo! And...keep on Shining!!!!0 -
good morning all,
will be traveling later on today, so i just wanted to check in and say have a wonderful weekend...will later and check in during the week, but not traveling with my lap top....i am excited to go to las vegas, looking forward to a good show, and the sights.....i weighed in this morning at 176.5 no change from last week:explode: ....to be on the safe side that is the weight that i will weigh in for 101711....dont know if i will have access to a scale...
good luck my friends....lets remember the hubba hubbas when making food choices...:flowerforyou:0 -

Well, I ran out of my supplements after last night. I lost a total of 5 inches and 4.5lbs in 4 days with this cleanse. All while maintaining 1150-1390 calories daily, and no exercise. I hope i can keep that off until wiegh in on Monday!
Company coming tonight for the next 3 nights. Meals planned out already- good home cooking. With portion control, i'm sure that i'll be able to enjoy some of the garlic mashed potatoes, steak, chicken cordon bleu, hamburgers, homemade apple sauce amoung the other items on the menus! At least being the one cooking, i know what is going into the food!
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!0 -
Amanda, I'm having company this evening as well (but mine are just dinner/game time guests, no overnight!)
I've been super busy this week, the snow is starting to fall and I still have a few details outside that need to get taken care of, and I'd really like to get the last of next year's wood split and stacked in the woodshed, but that may not happen and it might have to over winter under the tarp, we'll see. My youngest son in Idaho isn't doing well lately, so there have been lots of calls back and forth between his nurse and I. He has an infection on his arm (he bites himself and apparently got it pretty good) that is not healing up- the swelling/redness goes down while he's on the antibiotics, but once he completes his course, it swells up and the infection is obviously still there. I'm going crazy not being able to be there and check up on this all myself... keep thinking, I wish it was Christmas time NOW, I want to see him!! Needless to say, my diet hasn't been upper most in my mind and that's always a dangerous place for me to be. On the plus side, I just bought my first pair of size 8 jeans, and they look really good! I'm gonna keep my 10s around so I have some to wear long johns under, but will start adding to my collection of 8s!
Hope ya'll have a great weekend, will check in Monday morning!

I hope you all have a happy and healthy weekend! I did much better eating wise this week! I am hoping to rock this weigh in! :glasses:
What are some of your fave healthy snacks and desserts? I eat alot of yogurt and v8 juice. Looking for new ideas.0 -

What are some of your fave healthy snacks and desserts? I eat alot of yogurt and v8 juice. Looking for new ideas.
I am not a fan of v8 at all. But I do love yogurt...especially vanilla with a sprinkle of wheatgerm on top. Yummy!
My go to snack is usually 100 cal popcorn bags. I also love salad and will eat it for a snack. I like balsamic vinaigrette dressing, so I've been using the Walden Farms balsamic (supposedly 0 calories) mixed with any other kind of balsamic dressing - most recently my daughter and I discovered Chef Tim's Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette. Too good! We actually found it at a flea market in PA over the summer, and had to order a case online a couple of weeks ago. 2 T of Chef Tim's balsamic is 137 calories, but I only use 1 T mixed with the Walden's.
Also, not a healthy snack, but last night I tried, for the first time, Betty Crocker's Warm Delights Minis Decadent Dark Chocolate Cake. 150 calories. I can't say it was the best chocolate cake ever, but I made a cup of tea and 1 little cake...and it was warm and chocolatey....and I enjoyed it!
Veronica..........I saw you posted about snow starting to fall....so ofcourse I checked your homepage out to see where you live. I am not ready for snow yet! Anyway.....North Pole, Alaska? Really? That's cool.....or maybe I should say cold! Do you have a direct connection to Santa? Tell him I'm planning on needing some smaller jeans for Christmas!
On a serious note, so sorry to hear about your youngest son. I know you miss him terribly. When children are sick or hurt it's so hard on the parents, especially the moms. Sending good thoughts your way, and hoping your son heals quickly!

veronica sorry about your son, hope he gets better soon...and congrats on the size 8 jeans .....AWESOME0 -
kris1085 - Yay for the 50 lbs gone this year! Keep it going! You can easily be in the low 170s by Christmas!
gmomlyn - I hear you about the "open 24/7 kitchen"! I'm home too and food is always readily available. It doesn't help that my son makes really delicious lunch items for himself and then eats them about 8' away from me. ;-) He does that because he attends a virtual school and that is how close his computer is to mine.
Pam3 - Have fun in Vegas! Enjoy the sites and show! My in-laws live there. :-)
FitJ1210 - Yay for inches lost!
Amandajean1105 - Good luck with the food. It all looks de-lish!
vallejos6 - Congrats on your size 8 jeans! About your son... I just read this yesterday.
http://www.webnat.com/articles/Antibiotics.asp
You might find it interesting. When my son was 2 (he's 16 now), he had a cough so bad and deep that it would make him throw up. During that time, his doctor put him on three different courses of antibiotics (over a 6 week period) that did NOTHING to his cough at all while he just got worse. My mother was very into herbal/homeopathic stuff. Growing up, I didn't like it at all. But I was desperate so I called my mom to ask her what I should give to my little sweetie. I did what she told me and he was well in less than 3 days.
I haven't taken an antibiotic in... I don't remember... until this week. I've been on a three day one that has made me feel more sick than what I'm taking it for. ;-) I had already fought to get the first one changed that they gave me so I just didn't want to fight again. The first one had a lot of chance of tendon tearing, especially the achilles, up to MONTHS after it was taken. I figured that might not be so good with my elliptical workouts. ;-) I call my antibiotic the Purple Poison. I really feel poisoned once it kicks in. And it doesn't look as though it is going to clear up what I'm taking it for either. :grumble:
Yay to all of you who are losing! For those of you who aren't, it might be a good idea to go back, in MFP, and see what exercise you were doing, how much water you were drinking, how many calories, etc. you were eating when you were consistently losing before. What has changed? I had to do this very thing when my scale didn't want to budge for awhile. It wasn't that I was on a plateau. It was that I thought to try something else that just wasn't working for me. Works for LOTS of others on MFP but not me. :-(
Good luck with your food/water/exercise this weekend! I am always soooo happy to see your progress!
P.S. I have not been exercising while I take the Purple Poison. It makes me have a sick/pressure head and nauseous. :sick: I'm staying in my green numbers though. :-)0 -
I'm on track to meet my next mini goal, YEAH! You ladies are so inspiring and motivating! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be attending the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday, I'll be jogging (hopefully) as much as possible.
