I am down 2 pounds this week to 148!

My goal for the upcoming weeks is to stay off the scale except for once a week. I am completely scale obsessed and always have been but there is no time like the present to try and break this awful habit.

Have a good week everyone!

astarte09

Morning Green Beans!! I am feeling so thin the last few days... I am tempted to buy a bathing suit! haha.. only 7 lbs away from my 1st goal!

jacque509

Hey Greenies! Ok so this week I am going to :
1. Try to work out and extra day
2. Stay off the scale:embarassed:
3. Keep in touch with you all more:bigsmile:
I so now you feel about the salty fix. my biggest weakness.:embarassed: But I been having the Kroger tiny twist prettzels 21 for 110 cal as a snack every day and it help with the salt need. Now for the chocolate attacks that do come I either do dark chocolate sugar free pudding or a Tablespoon of dark chocolate chips morsel both under 100 calories:bigsmile:
Later have a great week everyone!!!:laugh:

HI GT~

on a 6 day heat wave here....everyone is in a GOOD MOOD! went grocery shopping today. man, i am gonna have to do some serious cut backs. so unreal. BUT, i was @ Walmart and just seeing the spring clothes, cute/fun clothes motivated me. i stayed away from trying anything on, but it was fun to browse...

wannabefleca~ WELCOME to GREEN TEAM and what a great job on the LOSS, -6 lbs, WONDERFUL!

jessangel ~ sounds like you had a good time for dh bday, hotel and swimming. i am thinking dh and I need to get away for our upcoming anniversary.

smedkek 910 ~ it will be ok. every day is a NEW day. keep doing what you're doing. I eat all my exercise calories as close as I can w/out going over. there are many reasons for a gain. hang in there

astarte09~ CONGRATS on the 4.2 LOSS, YIPPY! I am so happy for you! and your confidence in getting a s/suit is inspiring! you go girl!

yeahbuddy ~ good job on the 1.2 GONE!! kudos hon!

n2dfire ~ busy man, don't over do it! have a good week and we'll be here for ya!

lovejoy ~ -6lbs !!!! take a bow!! that is AWESOME!! woot woot!

sassie ~ the scales sure are torture for us....but we are gettin slimmer...and eventually we'll all be HOTTIES!! you aer down 1... a loss is a LOSS! Keep it up!

shanatana ~ keep working towards your goals....and stay positive. we are all here for you!

rob ~ way to go on the loss! you can do it!

peachykate ~ you are doing a great job! congrats on the 2 lb GONE FOREVER! the scale.....somedays i feel like that commercial where it is chained to your ankle! YIKES! but ya know what, at least we are thinking about it and it does help make me more CONCIOUS of me eating choices!

porka ~ what a good idea to post our goals! makes it more official and the team can make us ACCOUNTALBLE!! so, how are you doing with yours?? good luck!

lily ~ WELCOME!! you are doing very well since starting in Jan. you must feel so great!

loser4real ~ thanks for doing all the posting, you are doing a fine job! i am right there with ya eating them chips....they are my biggest downfall. 1/2 bag was no problem for me either...and oh did i feel like crap afterwards....UGH! i do still eat them, but rarely and yes, portion control. i had restricted some of my favorite foods in past diets, but it only made me cave and BINGE!

well, hope i didn't miss anyone....Green Team I must say we had a very many losers this week, and that is just so great! i am so happy for all the LOSSES! and for those of us who stayed the same or gained a little. it's nothing....that was yesterday....we have at least 5 days to follow the plan. let's all be in control of eating healthy/mindful, moving our bodies AND drinking the H2O. We WILL do this, and be so much healthier every day that we take care of us!

oh, i wanted to ask and see if anyone keeps a watch on their sodium levels, every day. I checked mine out and was surprised that some days I am as much as 1000 over. hmmmmm, wouldn't it be nice if we could just attach an IV to our bodies and that was that? :laugh:

porka29

Hey, well I did an extra 5 minutes on the stationary bike, for a total of 9.45 miles and 40 minutes!

kellya - I should add that to my list of baby goals, watch sodium intake, I'm usually at least a 1,000 over or more.

jacque - I use HG Anderson pretzel sticks myself, yummo!

astarte - you are more than half way to goal, you should be feelin thin!!

Everyone else, I hope you are all well, thanks for the great support. By the way, I bought a Lean Cuisine family size pizza at Albertsons earlier this week, it's 280 cal for one slice (1/4 of entire pizza), it was awesome!!! I added some additional veggies and fat free cheese, good stuff. Will certainly buy again, if I hadn't overcooked the crust, would be close to the real thing. :noway:

n2dfire

bonniejo

Nice! As a team we lost a child in weight this week! Great work everyone! :drinker:

purrrr

hi all,

can i still join in, i wanted to do it earlier when i joined the site but no time to read through all until today

should i just send my details to n2dfire and beg him to accept me ?

i really want in the team, it seems so cool

ahh, i had decided wednesday for my weigh-in day since that's the day i began my journey and i wanted to keep it cut in exact weeks, so nice that it coincides with the team weigh-in day :bigsmile:

...and i just realized the team spreadsheet background has a froggy which i picked for my ticker, wow i was made (overmade even... ahem...) to be in this team :smokin:

yeahbuddy

Welcome, purrr. I'm sure there's still room, but do send n2 a request. We are on our 3rd week and everyone has done and been so amazing I think you'll really like it here.

purrrr

thank you, i hope he accepts me, did sent a request already

i have read through most of the topic and i saw that it's been running a while but i joined MFP earlier this week and one of the first friends i met here was kellya, who told me about the green team. she is so nice and everyone else on the team seems to be as well, so i really want to join in the frog's party :drinker:

i have given the boss (n2dfire) my Wednesday weight, so i can be in line for next wed

i can't see any new task assigned for this week though, what's up with that?

kels0724

Great job as a whole everyone!!!!!!! Good luck this weekend!!!! i am just wondering if we chose a challenge yet/?!?!

Welcome Purrr..you really will love it here! it helps so much to have people to check in with!!

lynettep

Good morning Green Team!! I am getting ready to go and do my cardio!! Everyone try to work out today!

I am nervous about this weekend. Going to Dallas/Ft Worth to visit my cousins. I really have to watch what I eat! We are going to the Ft. Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo.........can anyone say "blooming onions or funnel cake" YIKES!! Wish me luck on staying away from those FATTY Carnival foods.

Stay strong everyone over the weekend!!! WE can do this! :happy:

kellya

I am sooo ready for the weekend. Just want to remind those of us that typically struggle on the next 2 days, to really try hard and be mindful when it comes to eating. Remember, WHY we are on this journey and be the 'observer' of yourself. Step out of your body and watch yourself. I don't want to sound obsessive about this whole eating process, but this is REALLY what many of us are trying to learn and eventually maintain as daily habits. And once we get to our goals, what we are currently doing will HAVE to be the norm! Old habits are gone!! Get past and through the old ways. I know we can all accomplish this with hard work and dedication. You all really matter in this world!

Well, I rec'd a subpoena yesterday. I had to report a woman, that I know, for a stop-arm-viloation (bus). There are 2 adult witnesses, so I really don't know where this is going, and that is confusing me, and yeah a little stress. But what upsets me most is that I will likely lose a friend, she is nice and I have always enjoyed our visits. I will go to court in 5 days. Exercise is a MUST for sure!

porka ~ that is so great that you added 5" to your workout...and almost 10 miles! YIPPY!! the LC pizza sounds de-LISH!! what a smart and healthy choice with the added veggies and cheese...I'm droolin' here!

purrrr ~ HI and I am so glad you have joined us! visit here often....we are all here for you!!

lynette ~ try to eat as healthy as you can and just watch portion control if not. mmmm funnel cake/bloomin onion, have a couple bites to satisfy your taste buds, and NO MORE, YOU be in control!!.....and drink drink drink ( of course water!!), but most of all HAVE FUN!! green team will be thinking of YOU!!

do we have a new challenge for the next week? I must say the chart looks FABULOUS!! I LOVE IT!! you guys did great!

Well, off to a busy day here at home. Will try to check in later.

astarte09

:bigsmile: Good morning team!! Thank you so much for the inspiring wtg on the 4.2 pounds loss. It is great to hear that I am doing something right!!

Any fun plans for the weekend?

I'm so confused:frown: Wednesday I had a really hard time eating all my calories but did my normal exercise routine. Yesterday I did really well with my calories but did not workout. Today, I get up and weighed myself, down another pound:huh:

I'm not sure really what's going on put I won't complain about a one pound loss. I just hope it doesn't find me again:bigsmile:

Good luck to all this weekend!!

The same thing always happens to me

Lily31667

Congratulations Everyone!!

I've noticed that if I go low sugar and low sodium, I am eating healthier, in some cases saving calories and I'm not losing the taste I like.

When making mashed potatoes, I've switched to fat free broth, lower in calories than milk and still creamy. But broth has sodium, so get the low sodium and don't add your own salt.

Also when making pork chops, cook with onions and a cup up granny smith apple on top and you won't need to add salt..


Okay, I admit it I'm a meat and potatos girl. Learning I can eat it, but just can't fry it all the time. .

Hello greenies! Happy Friday!

Sounds like everybody is having a good one. Good job on the continued losses, guys. And for getting in your workouts, and making healthy choices!

Hey wannabe and lovejoy, y'all need to tell us what the challenge is for the week (the biggest losers for the week sets the challenge for the following week). We're all eagerly waiting.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. It's going to be absolutely gorgeous here in the south so I intend to do all my exercising outdoors. Woohoo!

smendek910

Thank you - you're obviously doing something right......Way to Go!!!

yeahbuddy

Hey, team. Just thought I'd let you all know I've got a 5k on Sunday. Does anyone else do any kinds of races? I don't really race, I just do it for fun and to see if I can improve my time each time. I'd like to work up to a 1/2 marathon in October. I've done that route before and it's fairly easy. I just need to condition myself again for it.

Happy weekend everyone!
I havent posted much in the past few days. Just really busy I suppose with work and life in general. I am trying to face my battles head on and trying to work with the teens to find that happy medium. I went yesterday to pay off my sons debt for his car accident. **ouch there goes Mexico** Sadly now, he needs to go job hunting tomorrow so he can pay me back lol. He will survive this and someday look back and laugh. Hubby flew out today for Texas and will be gone several days. I generally enjoy one day without him but I will miss him this time. I find dieting with him is difficult since he requests yummy dinners like lasagne and stuff like that and I keep trying to sneak in the salads with chicken or seafood. He can usually eat whatever as long as he goes to the gym 'occasionally'. I seem to gain if I think about food! Sooooo this being said Im going to spend the next several days really focusing on being healthy. My daughter and I went shopping tonight... just looking... all of the cute spring clothes are coming out now. I sure would like to buy a 'mini goal' outfit. Im hoping maybe in a month I can buy myself a little gift. I also bought a hoola hoop tonight! hehe... a little childhood nostalgia. I figure this would be a nice little break from work throughout the day ( I work at home) and I think this would help strengthen my back which is a huge issue for me as well as whittle away at the waste!
In case I forgot..... Im really happy for everyone's losses this week! I love the chart too.... it really shows nicely how well everyone is doing and we are just beginning! Fabulous! Good job everyone and hope you all have a very nice water filled, well excercised weekend :bigsmile:

jacque509

Agh!!!! I been so tired. Trying to get enough sleep. Well I crashed and burn last night. And yes I over ate. I decided after dinner I was still hungry so I made a snack of my fav swiss cheese and pickles with potatoe chips. And to top it off I did not go to the gym last night.. I went to bed at 8:30 and slept till 8:30 this morning so it was obvious I needed sleep. I need to tell some one what I did to help me realize what mistakes I am making. Thanks for the ear Green team.
yeahbuddy: Good luck Sunday:bigsmile: I used to do all the fun rasier walks at my work last year so I know a little about them. Mind you I did walks not the running races but I am surronded at work by runners and they are totally addicited to it. Have fun out there
Everyone have a good weekend

yeahbuddy

Thanks, jacque. And don't be too hard on yourself over yesterday. Just chalk it up to needing it and do better today. Obviousy your body was in need of not only sleep but some kind of nutrient (maybe sodium?) Today's a new day:bigsmile:

Good luck this weekend everyone.
