CW: 129 again!!

This is so FRUSTRATING!!!! I have been losing inches, but I would love to see a lower number on the scale, too.0 -
I wouldn't care if the scale read 500 pounds if I looked like a million bucks! :P0
-
Great job! I haven't made it to 5K yet on my runs. 2 miles is my max so far.0

My weigh in was the same this week. I am sad that I didn't lose anything but I its my TOM and I have been sick with this bronchitis stuff that has made exercising hard. I got 3 workouts in but not as high intensity as I would like. Here's to hoping next week I feel better and lose some weight.
SW: 163
CW: 143.5 (no loss)

Hello everyone,
I asked if I could join you. Thank you, karasene, for letting me jump in a little late.
I've been doing well using MFP for the last several months, but I haven't really been part of any groups. I'm down to about the last seven pounds and want to make sure I get through the holidays. This is the toughest time of year for me. In the past I have been known to eat lots of candy in one sitting...just because it's there. Right now I have a huge tub of Halloween candy in my house. I'm doing pretty good ignoring it. :-)
Anyway, here are my stats. I weighed myself this morning but typically weigh-in on Fridays, sometimes Saturdays.
Height: 5'6"
Age: 36
Children: 1 daughter, age 4
SW: 159
CW: 141.4
GW: 135
My goals through the end of the year:
- Reach my goal weight by Christmas
- Stick with the Slim in Six program that I am starting 1 November
- Enjoy a few treats, but no over-indulgence
- Help motivate others to reach their own goals
Feel free to friend me.0 -
Happy friday all
Here's my weigh in:
SW:205
CW: 160.8 ( - 3.2 lbs from last week)
GW:135
I' super happy to have had 2 great weigh ins in a row. I hope I can keep doing well and finally reach my goal.
Today is my anniversary and I am splurging today but that is ok cuz I know what i have to do tomorrow
Hope you had a great anniversary!0 -
So I am completely late at recording my weight. I was traveling all weekend & did weigh myself at the hotel; however, I could not access the message board on my phone.
I maintainted the same weight this week...I'm happy that at least I didn't gain!0 -
Welcome Steph!
How is everyone doing this week?
I'm having trouble finding balance, seems I can eiher be healthy, have a clean house, or enjoy my hobbies, I can't seem to do all three, or even 2 of these thigns at once lol I don't have enough "focus" to go around I guess0 -
Happy Halloween everyone! Great weigh ins!!!
This week's topic: How are you going to cope with having your kid's halloween candy hanging around?
I will allow myself a treat but make sure i adjust my calories so I stay under. After all the kid's favorite candy is gone i will probably toss the rest. I don't like them eating alot of junk 0 -
Weigh in (from Saturday)
193! (dumb TOM)
As for the Halloween candy: It needs to leave the house with hubby in the AM! No ifs, ands or BUTTS! LOL My son is too young to understand the whole halloween hoarding concept so candy won't be the issue this year and I'm treating myself to some strawberry ghosts today (hand dipped white chocolate strawberries) so all should be ok. *evil laugh*0 -
I let my kids pig out (to a degree lol) tonight then they trade it all in tomorrow for a new toy/game/book. I used to just give it away, but my daughter is old enough now to balk at that, so that is our compromise. i wish I'd done it this way sooner, because I would love for them to leave it out at night and wake up the following morning to find it gone and replaced with a new something, kinda liek the tooth fairy, but for halloween lol0
-
I'm planning on letting her keep a few pieces of candy and then giving her a scooby doo movie in exchange for the rest of the candy. She's 3, so hopefully she'll cooperate for me. Then the candy will be sent to my husband's work or tossed in the trash.0
-
I have indulged a bit the last few days. Going to take the bulk of it to work. I feel a tad guilty about tempting my co-workers, so I think I will put it all away until my hubby gets home and have him take it to his office. I don't see those people every day. But until that happens, I will allow my a treat here and there in moderation and make sure I get my workouts in.0
-
We handed out all our Halloween candy except for the boys trick or treat bags. I had a couple of pieces but I really don't want it. Hopefully I will not want it later this week either. LOL! If it gets tempting I will get rid of it. Good luck to you all! Be strong and resist the urges. Have an apple instead. : )0

Since I have started this journey, candy hasn't been that much of a temptation for me. And, my kids are only 2 and 4, so we only hit a few houses. They don't have much candy. We don't get any Trick-or-Treaters, so that isn't a problem. I do allow myself one piece of candy a day (usually an air delight Hershey's kiss or Dove Dark Chocolate Promise). That seems to keep my candy urges under control. The only time it is hard for me is that TOM and I'm not there yet!0
-
I apparently forgot to post my weight for Friday 10/28/11 it was 189.8 so i am down 2.2 from the previous week.0
-
I LOVE candy ......BUT, I have started to see results so... I am going to keep up with my running and keep in mind "What is more important? That bag of candy or me being in better shape/jeans fitting better/more energy? ................And the winner is ME!0
-
I don't really have a problem with my kid's candy tempting me at home. We put it away in the pantry and I put healthier snacks within "eye's reach" so I don't think about the candy every time I open the door.
At work, it's more of a temptation. My assistant loves to bring in candy--5 pounds at a time-- and it's always sitting out. Each time I walk by, I feel it's evil power, sucking me in like a black hole. Having healthy snacks at work doesn't help. They need to be out of sight. I just try to work the treats into my daily calorie plan, and remind myself how much longer I'll need to work out to burn the extra calories off.0 -
Hey guys, here's a quick NSV: I set a goal to work out at least four times a week. I mean really work up a sweat. It's the end of Wednesday, and I've already worked out three times this week. So perhaps I'll get in more than my goal. Woo Hoo!!0
-
do you want to know what is cruel and unusual punishment? When you start your period (and candy/salt) cravings on halloween! LOL all the candy will be out of the house tonight at least, and I haven't gone too overboard, but STILL!0
-
That is the worst! Seeing all that yummy chocolate is one thing but to be craving it and seeing it ans watching everyone around you eat has got to be just torturedo you want to know what is cruel and unusual punishment? When you start your period (and candy/salt) cravings on halloween! LOL all the candy will be out of the house tonight at least, and I haven't gone too overboard, but STILL! 0 -
That is just fantatic! WTG! You rock!!!!Hey guys, here's a quick NSV: I set a goal to work out at least four times a week. I mean really work up a sweat. It's the end of Wednesday, and I've already worked out three times this week. So perhaps I'll get in more than my goal. Woo Hoo!!0 -
Hey group...since I was treated for Lyme Disease this summer, I haven't been able to lose weight. For the last month, my hair has also been falling out. I called and made an appointment to see my doctor next week because they think it could be my thyroid. So, I guess that could explain why I haven't been able to lose any weight, as well! I am always tired, too. But, as you fellow moms know, it is tiring to be a mommy and work. So, I just attributed my exhaustion to that. Anywho, feeling a little bit better because maybe this is why I haven't been losing any weight! Hopefully I will get some answers before I go bald. :laugh:0
-
Finally a loss! I lost 1.2 pounds this week! Down to 194.2. I've been in the 90s to long. Can't wait to kiss them goodbye!0

Hey all
I'm extreamly disappointed this morning
I'm up .5 lb from last week...UGH!!!! I didn't even eat any halloween candy, I worked out 4 days this week, and was very low in calories all week. I think its time to up my calorie intake. I am not eating enough and was looking for a quick way to loose weight and it has back fired
I hope you all have a great weekend! I coach cheerleading and have our cheerleading competition tomorrow...GO Indians!!!0 -

Hey, Good luck with your thyroid! are you in the US? make sure that when you see the doctor he is doing ALL the bloodwork (TSH, free t3 free t4 and antibodies) sometimes they just do the first one and call it good, but that's not how it works!
AND don't listen to them if they tell you your symptoms are just from being a mom and being busy. That's just rubbish, if you feel like something is wrong then be persistent. After my daughter was born I had symptoms and it turned out to be a cyst on my thyroid, it was drained and I was better for awhile. THen after my son was born, I could feel something aound my thyroid again. My doctor couldn't feel anything, but I insisted on having an ultrasound, they found a toonie-size tumor! It as solid with calcification, so it had to be taken out. My doctor, my endo, and my head and neck surgeon couldn't feel it, but it was there.
Now I have half a thyroid left and there is a tumor growing on that half! It's likely in the next couple of years I'll get that side removed too, but I'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Anyway all of this rambling is to say that doctors often dismiss thyroid symptoms, and you have to fight for yourself. If you feel like there is truly something wrong, don't leave them alone until they get to the bottom of it Do lots of reading before you go to the doctor too, they accepted range has changed and make sure that the lab your doctor uses is using the current information!
Good luck0 -

I eat quite a lot more than a lot of people on here (about 1650 a day before exercise) I figure I was eating A LOT more than that before and maintaining my heavier weight and maybe creeping up VERRRRY slowly 10 lbs slowly over the past 2 years or so I def. need more than 1200 cals I could never live off of that!
ps good luck at cheer! I loved it when I was younger!0 -
