Good Morning Blue team! Hope everyone has a great day!

RachVR6

Moving this weekend, so I'm expecting a loss next week, due to all the heavy lifting. That and my reward/punishment system and p90x will be back in place starting Sunday. :drinker:

Hey team! I'm snowed/iced in today....I might get some exercise later trying to shovel some of it! Unfortunately there is a layer of ice from yesterday so I don't know how it will go....I'm also coming down with a cold though, so we'll see... :sick:

Hey team!!
I am down one pound this week. :drinker:
Let's go blue!!!!

We have a snow day so I will either get some work done around the house or watch all the shows I recorded this week (and last) because I never seem to be able to watch anything when it is on. Right now I am hapy with catching up on MFP.

I am so upset. For the last two days I was down a pound - this morning I am anxious to report so I jump on the scale and apparently confidence weighs two pounds. Guess I will have to be down four pounds next week. What does starvation do? Just kidding.

Hey blue people!!
I'm looking forward to this week! However, I'll be honest, I'm a bit scared about the Superbowl on Sunday! We're supposed to have friends & family over & I just know that everyone will be stuffing their faces full of yummy stuff!! I haven't come up with a menu yet, so maybe that a good place to start! Any ideas??

Go STEELERS!! Woot woot!! & oh yeah, GO BLUE TEAM!! Woot woot!! :bigsmile:

RachVR6

I forgot my stinkin' thumbdrive at work so I had to completely redo the stats with the chart I had posted last week. I hope everything is right! :ohwell:

sanifrey

Rach - man that stinks!! No problem though! I'm sure it'll be fine! We appreciate all your hard work!!

sanifrey

So I just calculated my BMI & I'm now longer OBESE!! Just overweight!! YAHOO!! I think!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

chrissyh

sanifrey - that's awesome! I still have a ways to go for that but I am getting there! I love seeing what the percentage was and what I've worked down to

Rach-no worries - thanks for all you do just post later no biggie

I was down 1 pound this week. I hope to report a better # next week but as long as I continue in this direction that's cool with me. That's one less pound of me and it's the pound that put me at my half way point so it was a good one!!

Happy Wednesday!

Well I have had a sick child home from school all week so no gym yet for this week. I ordered Chalean extreme last week so just waiting for it to come in. I cant wait for it to arrive. Other than that not doing to much around here. I havent been eating the best food this week. I dont know why but Ijust havent wanted to. I guess I am just feeling a little down b ecause I have been trying so hard the past few weeks and my weight has barely been coming off. My sister says I need to get my thyroid checked but I dont think it is that. A year after my middle child was born they checked my thyroid and it was borderline and now it has been 18 mths after my last child was born. I think I just have probs after giving birth. Both times within that first year I gained 20 lbs. I keep saying I am going to get back on track but then something always comes up. I really need to start being accountable for my actions now though.

I'm j_g4ever's husband... she wanted me to log on for her and let her friends here know that she's had several seizures at our son's wrestling practice last night, and as a result she was hospitalized. No need to worry, but she just wanted to let you all know what was going on. She'll be back on here ASAP. Thanks to all of you for your support, she talks about you all the time!

Ugh...I could have made it in to work today, but opted to take a sick day. My head is so congested! Decongestants don't even seem to make a difference! :explode: <--- that's what's gonna happen to my head!

I still got out yesterday and shoveled snow for an hour and a half. There's a sheet of ice under the snow, too. And possible flurries tonight!

I have a confession....I got pizza last night, I had a craving. But, I got only veggies on it, and a thin crust! If I want meat on it, I have turkey pepperoni here to use.

I am singing the scale blues....
So I was very excited to weigh today since yesterday afternoon I weighed the same as what I weighed in the morning - that's after breakfast, lunch, snack, lots ot water....well this morning I was up 2/10 of a pound - that just pisses me off! Not that is a big deal but my body just doesn't seem to be cooperating. I need to get out of the mindset that I need to lose 3 - 4 pounds a week and accept that my body isn't going to do that anymore. I was low on calories yesterday but only yesterday I was ok the day before. I am going to stick with 1300 calories daily rather than 1200, drink my water, exercise and try to eat most of what I burn and be happy with a slow and steady loss. What's so hard is my husband is losing with me now and it seems like everyday he's lost another pound.


I just had to rant this morning - I do feel better! I am not giving up just needed to throw some frustration out the window...

Slow and steady! Maybe I shouldn't torture myself with weighing everyday. I worry that I'll let myself get out of control if I am not accountable to the scale.

ANYWAY....

Good Morning my fellow Blues! Today is going to be a great successful, healthy day!:flowerforyou:

Leigh14

Oh goodness, I hope j_g feels better!! :frown: :flowerforyou:

And, it looks like we did awesome at the weigh-in this week. I'm proud of our team! We're all workin at it, even if we slip and fall every now and then, we're always here to pick each other up.

I might need a little of that picking up today. :embarassed: I'm really stressed out at work (huge project nearing deadline... I'm confident that the project will go well and I will get done in time, so I'm not really sure what I'm worried about!!!!!!! :explode:), so... I had my shake and english muffin for breakfast at 8... around 10 I had my first snack (fiber one bar), then a little while ago I had 13 wheat then fiber selects, a piece of laughing cow cheese, a banana and 1/2 cup of original fiber one cereal.

I've eaten all my snacks for the day, but look at all that fiber!!!! :laugh: :blushing: I'm starting on glass 3 of my water for the day... but I have this urge to just... eat. :huh: Boo. What gives?!

J-g.. I hope you will be back here soon.. Really sad news .. We wish you all the best and
Can't wait to hear back from you.. :flowerforyou:

I have to understand that my body won't lose 3-4 lbs a week either.. I have to start accepting. 0,5, and 0,8 .. As my " standard " weekly weight loss.. But hey .. If you multiplie that. For exmp. Even a half a pound a week, it's still 2 lbs a month, it's still 24 lbs a year.. Right.. Well .. Ok I tried to be positive, now looking at my 89 lbs.. To go.. In what century will I be done ??

I tried to be positive ok .. I'm thinking of having me checked out.. Maybe my blood or something didn’t' do it for a very long time.. The doctors better find a reason for my slow weight loss or I will " lose it:grumble: :mad:

:flowerforyou: It never hurts to get checked out!!!! My mom was gaining weight, tired all the time (no matter how long she slept) and just plain irritable. Then, she found out she had a thyroid problem. She takes a pill every day, but that's a small trade-off for feeling better and being healthier! I get my blood checked each year for that and because diabetes runs in my family.

Goodluck!! I think you're doing great, though! At least you're losing... you could be not eating healthy and consistently gaining!

Ditto here on the working hard andnot seeing any less weight on the scale-- we'll keep working at it and get over the speed-bumps!

:sick: :sick: So, as I was making dinner last night, I started getting these waves of nausea. It just got worse & worse, by the time my husband got home from work I was done!! I spent the entire evening barfing my guts out!! I'm still not feeling great today but at least I'm not in the bathroom!! I left over 1000 uneaten calories on the board from yesterday & today even without the exercise it'll probably be about the same. I've only eaten saltines & graham crackers. I'm having a heck of a time drinking water, but I know that what I really need right now!! So, out of curiosity I weighed myself a bit ago, over 3 lbs down!! I know that its water & definately not the way I'd like to continue to lose weight, it's just kinda crazy!!

Anyway, I'm glad to see you all here! Keep pushing! We had a great week last week!! Let's keep it up!!

j_g - we're all thinking about you & hoping that you'll be back here soon! We miss your encouragement & your wit!!
