HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!
Hope you all got a lovely card or at least a big cuddle and smooch
My hubby forgot until last night so I woke up this morning to a handmade card on the kitchen counter with a cup already prefilled with milk and a teabag (he left for work at 6.15am), bless him :laugh:
Well I have started well with a 30 min power walk on the treadmill 230kcals gone before 9am woohoo!! Trying to rectify the evil chocolate cake incident last night (SHH!!!) so I'll do another 30mins this afternoon or this evening or I may get a little adventurous and crack out the old exercise dvd :laugh:
Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
"Love is in the air, everywhere I look around ....... "

Congrats Nitag and Markay on being able to fit into smaller jeans!! That is like the ultimate reward :flowerforyou:
Congrats to EVERYONE that lost weight this past week...one step at a time :drinker: !!
:smooched: Happy Valentines Day to everybody:smooched: ! Remember go light on the candy and have a great time!!0 -
Wow, I'm in awe of you who have lost (any) weight this week, much less those 2,3,5 pluses. WTG! :drinker:
I'm so proud of myself though. Yesterday at the party at school, I only ate 1 small heart shaped piece of sandwich. Probably 1/4 of a whole. Then I ate my special K for lunch and didn't eat anything else until Supper. DH took me out to eat and I did eat more fries than I should (bad I know) BUT I only ate 1/2 of 1/2 of a rack of ribs, 1 chicken tender, and 1/2 potato. I thought that was pretty good. Of course the twizzlers killed me at the movies, but it could have been MUCH worse! I didn't gain any so t hat's good.
I hope everyone had a great valentine's day. Dh sent me flowers and balloons to school (SO pretty!). I took him to a game store and let him pick out any game he wanted LOL. And got him a card.
Thanks for the birthday wshes 0 -

Chanty- :laugh: :laugh: amen to that sister!! Hubby left early this morning before I was even up. He's meeting up with someone to go through and complete his armed guard certification, she hes out blasting things in the woods today. Its all good, we need him to get it done so he can go back to work. Im going to the gym here in a couple minutes then at noon I have 2 little ones coming over until about 5 tonight. Gonna make some cute valentines crafts with the 4 year old. After they leave we'll get to spend some quiet time together since my 3 kids are gone to thier dads until Tuesday...
Jackie W- I bet you are so thrilled to leave that plateau in the dust!! Congrats on your loss!! :drinker:
Vonzo- awww, what a nice hubby. At least he remembered! Handmade is so sweet! You go girl on getting your exercise in early in the day!! That rocks! I love to work out in the mornings because it gives me so much energy all day long and the gym is empty! hehehe Not to mention, those evil cake incidents (:laugh: ) seem like history when you know you are workin yer tail off :happy:
Laci- amen to that too... light on the candy...that is my goal today, if I am even around it.. LOL
Kelle- I used to be addicted to red licorice! May be loaded with sugar but at least its fat free... :laugh: oops.. there goes me and my justifying again :laugh: Still, better than greasy buttered popcorn or junior mints which is where my tastebuds wanna go at the movies. Great job dining out last night. You have every right to be proud :drinker:
Better run guys.... gotta go get my workout in before the kiddos get here 0 -
I had no idea a chicken sandwich from Sonic had 670 calories!!!! I would have been better off getting a cheese burger from mcdonalds (and even better off if I hadn't had either one). I guess it will be exercise city for me today... and special K for supper.0

Happy Valentine's Day everyone..
I'm feeling irritated today and I can't figure out why.. Maybe it's getting to be that time of the month :explode: who knows.. When you get to be my age (44) I just don't keep track anymore.. I have nothing to worry about other then just get irritated when it happens.. Ugg....
I really need to train myself not to step on the scale daily, it's a bad habit... I am up 8 ozs from yesterday and I don't know how.. I drank so much water... I keep telling myself I am not going to worry bout it.. Yeah right!!!
Dinner tonight.. I am looking forward to it.. I am going to order a 6 oz fillet Mignon with green beans and a salad with no cheese and the dressing on the side... I am only going to eat half of everything and bring the rest home for lunch tomorrow.. Is that a plan or what??? I hope I can stick with it...
I dreamed of being thin last night.. :bigsmile: and I was so happy.. I keep saying to everyone it's not about being thin its about being healthy!! But yet in my dream being thin is what made me happy...
Well I am rambling.. Thanks all for the support and reading this post..
Have a Happy Day...

mmmmmmmm filet mignon... one of my favs! havent had it in a long time either.
I dug through the freezer and Im making hubby a tbone dinner tonight with some low cal, homemade potato celery soup. The steaks are huge so Im gonna only do 1/2 of one for myself. Will have a 1/4 of the the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, chopped up onto my usual spinach feta pizza. I gotta hit the store tomorrow, so Im making my recipe & grocery list today.
Got my gym workout in.. 30 minutes of arms on the weights and 40 minutes on the treadmill.
zano- I did 1.5 miles in 25.31 minutes. No wogging, just very brisk paced walking at 3.6 on the treadmill. Im thinking Monday I should be back to being able to add wogging back in. My back is feeling much better and didnt bother me at all while I was working my arms. We'll see how I feel tomorrow after I go to Yoga in the AM :happy: Im thinking the stretching should help a ton!0 -
Whats wogging?? Thats a new one for me...
I did 40 mins on the treadmill... 2 miles.. I sweated my buns off. (I wish)
3 sets of squats
3 sets of biceps 5 lb weights
3 sets of triceps 5 lb weights
12 per set...
I need to up that...
But wogging, what is it...
Lol..

I read all your posts - THE Team is time-consuming!:laugh:
______________________________________
The WATER Challenge:
You can do the water! I do it! Your skin will stay much more elastic and will shrink with you and you will look so much more…hydrated and healthy.
Don’t drink your calories.
Nothing else is worth drinking but green tea. Eat whole fruit, no juice. Whole fruit has less calories and contains fiber which fills you up and helps move food through your system. Shoot for 30+ grams fiber daily!
To add to Li4g's excellent advice on water:
1. ~As soon as your glass or bottle is empty, fill it back up :drinker:
________________________________________
Logging FOOD:-
When I go away from my computer, I just write down what I eat in a little notebook and log it when I get back. The practice of logging your food is helpful in many ways.
Since I re-gained 10 lbs after hitting goal, I realized NEW good reasons to log food.
1.~Once ya stop lookin’, it’s a slippery slope to eating more and not even realizing it
2.~Nutrition. I gained the weight…..but what made me pay attention is that I wasn’t feeling as good as I had when eating nutritious food. One day I said “When was the last time I had a bunch of veggies?” ….and I couldn’t remember.
3.~And a funny reason: logging is a pain in the touchas. Sometimes it’s just enough to keep you from eating that bite of birthday cake! :laugh:
The best reasons to log:
1.~To learn portion control
2.~To be honest with yourself. How quickly we begin to justify that “cookie” here, or that “Margarita” there. Margaritas = 500-700 cals:ohwell: I hafta see it.
3.~You can use the “Reports” here to see your trends. You need accurate data, meaning food and exercise.

~renayeb – WOOT!! You're the biggest loser so far!!
~Li4g – WTG!!
~Chantybear – how’d the visit to the oral surgeon go Saturday?
~nitag – Awright, awright, awright on the weight loss!! And gotta love the pants falling off!
Wogging is a made-up word from Losingit4good – a cross between walking and jogging. Go to our thread from last week…. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/39715-the-team-week-1-2-6-09?page=9
….scoll down to Losingit4good’s post with the “wogging” lady. LOL.
~prayerfulmom – Keep it going!! Oh, and BTW :grumble: EXCUSES! I drove 400 miles yesterday, and still drank my 80 ounces of water. Bathrooms are everywhere that cars go. I stopped twice – and one of those times I needed gas, so only one stop for potty.
My travel rule: if ya need gas, go potty. If you need the potty, get gas. Multitaking! :happy:
~Kelleighanne – Enjoy the birthday, Holidays don’t count. Just keep your choices reasonable - (like a few hundred over is much easier to ovecome than 3000 over.)
~Get_fit2009 – Take that .5 and be proud, girl!!
~agapita – Yes! Lesson. Food is fuel.
~lacijae – You are on a roll, girl 11 lbs in less than 2 wks is a great motivator for you and all of us!
~Markay3 – Stay in those 8th grade pants till they fall down! Great motivation! And don’t people have to buy bigger better presents if your birthday falls on some other holiday?? That’s some kind of rule, right?
~wuwu – Right on Target! Go Go!
~adamk – Good job, woman! Don’t hurt yourself. The Biggest Loser contestants are under constant medical supervision. I wouldn’t advise trying to lose 15 lbsw in a week without someone qualified to watch you present at your workouts.
~morgolis – Keep it up! Congrats.0 -
the “wogging” lady. LOL.
LOL I love that picture...altho it looks nothing like me unless you look at me from the BACK.. HAHA!! Just kiddin!
Anyway...Wogging is a combo of walking and jogging. Zano had said earlier he had a goal of 1.5 miles in under 15 minutes to reach by April, so I decided to join him and make a challenge out of it.
Anyone else who wants to give it a try and join is is welcome too!! With my history of low back probs I had to start out pretty darn slow and just started working the jogs into my treadmill workouts. Having the right shoes made a VERY big difference for me also. Before last week when I fell down the stairs, I would jog for a minute, walk for 3, jog for a minute, walk for 3 until I completed my 3 miles or goal for calories burned. Last week I was at 30 minutes of wogging to get up to 1.5 miles. Today I did 1.5 miles of very brisk walking in 25.31 minutes so Im looking forward to seeing what I can do on Monday when I add the jogging back in.0 -

CM - No visit with the oral surgeon, we went to go view a house!! We put in an offer yayy!! It is a really old fixer upper, but worth it to flip!0
-
That sounds exciting!! I wish I could afford a fixer upper house to flip. The real estate market here is not a sellers market tho. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they accept for you! Would you guys move into it and fix it up or just fix it to sell it?0
-
Someone please stop me. I made potato celery soup and it is sooooo good.. I cant stop! Its only like 56 cals a serving but If I dont stop I wont be able to get to my tbone steak.. LOL helllllllp0
-
I had no idea a chicken sandwich from Sonic had 670 calories!!!! I would have been better off getting a cheese burger from mcdonalds (and even better off if I hadn't had either one). I guess it will be exercise city for me today... and special K for supper.
Fast food is so hard to work around when dieting!! I live about 10 minutes out of town and I work Monday thru Friday as well as volunteering at our animal shelter and have no time to run home to eat during lunch. One thing that helped me was the book called "Eat This Not That". You've probably heard of it before but its really a great book that puts fast food calories in perspective.
My faves to get (if I must go to a fast food place) are Burger Kings Jr. Whopper (minus the mayonnaise and cheese) with a side salad and a water, Wendy's Large chili with a side salad, or Quizno's Sammies with a bowl of Broccoli and Cheese soup.
I'm not sure of the exact nutrition info but I've looked it up before and these are all pretty good choices as far as fast food goes :happy:
Hope this helps :flowerforyou:0 -

It is SOOOO much work though, the house is like 50 years old, but going for about 70-100,000 less then other nicely maintained ones in the neighborhood. Oh here it is definitely a buyers market, that is why we would buy it now, and fix it up, and in about 2-3 years when the market peaks again we would sell it, and buy a nicer house. I hope so, they will counter offer I bet though, but it is an estate sale, and the people want it gone I am pretty sure. Fix it up to live in it until the market goes back up, and make some equity! I hope we get it for around our offer though, because it is a lot of work! Thanks for the fingers crossing hun!!..oh yeah and stop eating that delicious soup!!

Sounds like a great plan!
I did stop eating the soup... after 2 bowls of it I was STUFFED! It was so good tho I couldnt help it!! Good thing it was only about 56 cals a serving.. :laugh: I ended up not making the tbones. After filling up on soup hubby agreed he wasnt hungry anymore.. LOL plus they were still a bit frozen. Oh well... always have tomorrow night :laugh: Hubby tried to take me to our coffee cafe where we first met for valentines only it went out of business! bummer!! We hit starbucks instead and I got a skinny grande peppermint mocha. I was in heaven! Havent had starbucks or even a mocha in quite a while. Thats an accomplishment in itself considering I used to drink 1 a day!0 -

Laci- This is too funny cuz when I was working full time, Wendys chili and a side salad was one of my fav lunches. In fact.. the southwest taco salad from wendys is pretty much a salad with thier chili on it and then some kind of spicy dressing and tortilla chips. I LOVE that salad so when I have the cals and have to eat out for lunch, thats typically what I go for. Even if I dont have enough for the whole salad, I'll split it between 2 days. I always order the chili on the side so I can add what I want to the salad I plan to eat without what Im not gonna eat going soggy. You are absolutely right tho... thier chili is a good option when it comes to fast food!
I also had to giggle when I saw the whopper JR. Before I started dieting I was a whopper girl almost every day when I was working!! I LOVED THEM! They arent that bad if you skip the mayo and cheese and get a single or a junior. I tried doing that and just adding a little more ketchup after about the first 2 weeks on my healthier diet and I ended up feeling crummy for about 3 days afterwards... all bloated and gross. I made up my mind to just get over the whopper fix. I still get cravings hardcore for them but I refuse to go through the after effects.. LOL If you can do it tho, more power to ya!! :happy:
Anyway..Subway is a good, cheap option also. I know its hard to pack a lunch, but if you can make healthy dinners and take leftovers... things like chili and soup are super easy to make at home and last for days. I usually make a couple kinds of soup a week. Wraps are also great! If you dont have time to pack lunch, at least grab yourself some healthy snacks so your not starving for lunch. 0 -
YAY!!! Count me in !!!! :drinker:
I'm determined to be strict with myself this week, and do the following to end this mini plateau of mine:
1) Exercise for at least 60 mins a day 3-5 times this week
2) Log everything that goes in my mouth
3) Drink at least 10 cups of water per day
4) Above all, I'm going to enjoy this week, and stop feeling sorry for myself! (I'm going back to work after 5 weeks off sick) :drinker: :drinker:
Yeah I know, I've got 4 goals this week, but I'm sooo fed up feeling sorry for myself, staying in bed until lunchtime and feeling cruddy, time for the new healthier me to wake up and smell the roses! :happy:
I've been keeping true to myself all weekend so far (which is hard at the best of times with family eating naughty foods), We had a lovely piec of cod for dinner last night by candlelight with a glass of wine, and then we watched 27 dresses :bigsmile: and I am pleased to say, I stepped on the scale this morning and I am the same weight I was yesterday morning, didn't gain an ounce :drinker:
Hope every one had a great time 0 -
Jackie, that's great. Sounds like a fun date night. I haven't seen 27 dresses yet. Dh rented the very romantic "My name is Bruce" a movie about Bruce Campbell :laugh: It was actually pretty good.
thanks laci. I actually thought I was doing good getting chicken instead of a burger. It all worked out though because I ate a chicken salad at home for supper. SO good.0 -
Hey everyone, looks like no one is on today!0

Hey everyone, looks like no one is on today!
HAHA! you beat me to it!!
I just got done with putting all the groceries away. Got to yoga this morning with adopt4, then we went shopping for clothes for her hubby, grabbed a salad at wendys and hit the grocery store. I just got everything put away, got my jello fruit salad made, sat down to log food for the day. So far so good
Hows your day?? :laugh: Face feelin better?0 -
HI Everyone, well its day three of the challenge. I am logging everything I eat. Drinking half my weight in ounces, and exercising (wogging).
Li4g - keep up the good work, twenty five minutes for a 1.5 mi is a great start. I'm gonna try to increase my running distance to 1/2 mi, so the work out in the morning is 1.8 mile walk to tne track, 1/2 mile jog, and then 1.8 mi back home. This takes an hour.
Jackie_W - nice job leaving the plateau, keep up the great work...39lbs already lost...WOW
Nitag - Dreaming of being thin, really cool. I'm all for goal setting, seeing your success, and getting there. If you are on this site, your with the best people to get us there.
Adopt4 - Welcome to our team, don't understand about the tighter pants but eleven pounds is a very nice start, stay withn us the pounds will melt off
Since its Sunday nite I can't wish a fantastic day, just restful sleep .....Zano

Burger King whoppers are absolutely addicting! I LOVE their mayonnaise but got over that real quick after I learned that theirs is the worst condiment out of all the American fast food chains! It was definately hard giving up the whoppers :grumble: LOL.
I need some soup recipes! The only soup recipe I have that I know is good is my taco soup that I got off of Weight Watchers.com. The calories are pretty low so I love making it. Anyways I would love some recipes (unless they're family secrets ) 0 -
Zano- Sounds like your workin hard on the track!!! Keep up the great work!! Im gonna try some wogging tomorrow and see how I feel. Yoga really stretched me out today and my back was a bit sore once I was done. Just took some motrin and now I feel great.
Laci- There are alot of great recipies here on the community boards. I search those and also found a great site called sparkspeople.com that at least has the nutritional info on it for all the recipies. Theres a recipie calculator on there too so you can put in your own and see all the info. That has helped me a TON.
I put a weeks worth meals up on my blog every week with links to the recipies. Im still trying out new stuff altho Ive found my new whopper addiction replacement for lunch each day... :bigsmile: Check it out if your interested in seeing whats been helping me. Also, Ive got 3 picky teens and hubby (morgolis) is also eating this stuff... so far no complains.. nothing but rave reviews :happy:0 -
I'm so excited I can't sleep! Went to the fat lady store - couldn't find anything that fit right, went to Ross and found clothes that FIT! First time I've shopped in a regular store for a LOOONNNNGGG time. Of course they're still XXL but hey, at least they fit!
I so want to get into the gym in the morning and keep it up, now that I've had a motivator... Sheesh! Am I pathetic or WHAT????0
