Pepamint -- I feel you on the "not hungry so why eat" thing. But like I said a while ago, I upped my cals a little and it's helping. I just had to switch my food around a little. Instead of grabing a handful of carrots, grab a yogurt. I know too often we get into this "diet" mode and completely change our outlook till all we see is calories. I know with me I tend to "save" mine till dinner (even with eating breakfast and lunch, I'm just afraid I'll be hungry and have nothing left to eat), well then I have a crap load of cals and not enough time or stomach. You talked about having an apple with some peanut butter. Well, eat the apple and put the peanut butter on some whole wheat toast. So you have a few more cals without a bunch more to eat. I get into this will-power mode (the one that makes me think that if I start eating something I won't be able to stop and I'll end up right where I started) where I won't budge on anything, and have learned to chill and stop thinking of depriving myself and think about feeding myself. I have to ask myself, "how can I feed my body so I can get housework done, chase my very mobile munchkin, get my exercise in, take care of hubby (who let's face it, is sometimes worse than a toddler), and look after animals?!" Everybody has their own "things" to deal with, but the reality is that if you don't fuel your body, it will quit you. Here we're just learning to fuel differently, and more important, properly. Eating isn't the root of our problems, eating the wrong things and the wrong amounts is the root of our problems. Hang in there, and remember to eat.
im trying i m trying my mother and i like she said seem to have this problem plus your right my mind goes into if im not hugry why eat mode. and i am dieting even if its healthy do i really need it. who knew this is where my mind would go. my mother and i are keeping each other in check shes eating three meals and im eating breakdast (thank god for the banana nut cheerioes anyone try it yet?
so yummy and 100 calories) iwanttobehealthy is my dm and we are just trucking along slow and steadily hopefully the hard work will eventually show but i know this is the healthiest thing i can ever do and i also know that no matter what i am determined to keep going and not stop commitment something i never thought i would do :bigsmile: but i am commited even if this takes a long time and then i will be doing this for the rest of my life. i will try to eat more snacks maybe i have to eat more frequently like a snack between breakfast and lunch and another between lunch and dinner and possibly after dinner ok im gonna try that tom and if it doesnt make me sick then we shall see its going to be hard but i dont know what else to try. ok wish me luck cause i dont think my stomache can take it.
tid wat a great picture love it. you two are so cute together.
lucky thank you and pumkin i hope it is af and when the dreaded aunt is gone i shall see if it makes any difference (fingers crossed but i am waiting until tues weigh in)
iwanttobehealthy my loving mother welcome back to the boards so proud of your new attitude (and how small your getting :smooched:)
everyone say a warm welcome to our new members and our returned members :drinker:
we can do it be the tortoise cause slow and steady we will win this race
:smooched:

Oh yea I'm still here...you gals aren't getting rid of me that easy! as far as a name goes we don't really have one picked out yet. We find out in April if we are having a boy or girl. Everyone says we shouldn't find out, but there is NO WAY I could do that! Like every other guy I'm hoping for a boy and my wife is hoping for a girl. I will be happy either way as long as the baby looks like my wife!
Your wife is absoluuuuuuutely beautiful, :flowerforyou: but if your kid looks like you, they won't be hurtin' for dates later, either!!! We're thinking about stopping at the two girls we have, but my hubby admits to wanting a little boy-the only problem is that he would want to name the poor kid after his favorite quarterback... I don't really know how to feel about that...:grumble:0 -
whats the quaterbacks name?0
-
Donovan McNabb... He even knows the guy's middle name, and would like that, too. If it was someone who did something spectacular, like a medal of honor recipient, or something like that, I wouldn't mind, but not a quarterback for his favorite football team...:sad:0

Hi eveyone time sure if flying! I have been crusing the Success board and love looking at the before and after pics! I could sit and look all day, it is so motivating! Anyway my day is almost over. Have to take my daughter to dance and figure out what is for dinner. I am getting tired of eating healthy. I just love food to much and I really love all the unhealthy food.
MissResa- Me and my Hubby are the oposite. I want a boy so badly! I am not sure if we are stopping with two girls or if we will try for one more. Not to sound selfish but I almost don't want to get prego again and lose my body after working so hard to get it back. That is what happened last time he came home. I had lost 60lbs and was around 190. I was so excited and boom I was prego and gained all of it back. I also am really thinking about a boob job and tummy tuck. I have seen a couple people on the Success board that have had them done once they lose all the weight or when they are close and they look amazing! I guess it will all depend on what my stomach looks like when I am all done. I think for sure a boob job though.0 -
If I have a boy I want to name it Chuck Norris....so he will be tough!0
-
thompsons -- I know what you mean about getting prego again and worried about the weight. Hubby and I for sure want more kids, so it's something I've thought about a bunch. I'm of a mind-set that if I lose a bunch of the weight, then I can have a healthier pregnancy. One that I can continue to exercise through since my body will be conditioned to it already. So then I won't (knock on some wood here, cuz I had some wicked cravings) gain as much as I did with the first one. Once it's done, then I know I did it once, I can lose it again, and perhaps I'll be better equiped the second (third, fourth,??) time around.:happy: That's just my thought process, and if you ask any of my family, my thinking has been my own for a long time now. So take it with a grain of salt.:laugh: :laugh:0

Yeah it is a crazy thing! We first of all have no idea what we want at this point. I know I want a boy. If I could magically do something to make sure it was a boy I would do it the day he comes home. I however am happy with the two I have. The military makes life a struggle as it is so I don't know if adding a third child is best. That is my own struggle. My goal was to workout and stay healthy with this last pregnancy. I had lost 60lbs prior. I was working out everyday and when I was 6 weeks, I has bleeding. I was put on bedrest until I was 25 weeks. Well at that point I had gained so much weight and not gone in such a long time I had no motivation to start then. I do think many women have a healthy pregnancy and watch calorie intake and excerise. Have you read about tamtastic on this board? She lost 135 lbs. She is now like 11 weeks pregnant or something. I think that is amazing! So for now I am playing it by ear and enjoying my time with my lo. She is growing up so fast. I can't even try for at least 8 more months since he is still gone.thompsons -- I know what you mean about getting prego again and worried about the weight.

Thompsons... I was in the best shape of my life after my hubby left for deployment... Maybe it was the stress, but I was also working out all the time, and I lost around 90 lbs after having my first daughter... I bought all new clothes, because none of mine fit any more... I was in better shape than when I was an extremely active teenager.
ONE MONTH after my husband came home, I got pregnant... The doctors put me on restricted duties because my 1st pregnancy was difficult, and my second was, too. I almost went into premature labor at 31/2 months. I had to stop exercising. And I gained ALL the weight back. I lost about 46 lbs in Hawaii. It's been coming back on in the last few years of moving in Alaska-it is just so darn hard to stay active in the long winter months, and also because I'm doing in-home care of my grandfather... I have so little time...
But I have to get healthy again... And maybe we will end up having another kid, but I want to be healthy from the start, that way the baby will be healthier, and it will be easier to get back into shape again after having the baby... Just not for at least 3 more years!!!!0 -
Well I had my " Last Chance Workout" tonight. and good thing it was plyometrics tonight. I have my second weigh in for work tomorrow. I am already bumming about it though because I know I am not going to be down near as much as I was last week. Oh well! I hope everyone else has a good day tomorrow!0
-
last chance workout too funny im gonna try that sat night, maybe :grumble: although i just fell up the stairs about 15 min ago and hurt a little
(but i will live):flowerforyou:
I have good news :drinker: for the first time ever i reached 1,000 calories (a little over that) i know its not great but for me that is huge (i had a snack after dinner so it helped a bit but honesty here i only had breakfast lunch and dinner and then the snack) if i try to eat any more calories though i will throw up :sick: so i will take this small victory and hope it helps me on the scale and if not then ill just keep going with excercise and eating until something happens again we shall see... funny story my brother got sick over the weekend stomache thing only three days but he was throwing up and he then weighed himself, he lost three pounds (geeze) then sis got sick for two days right after him she weighed herself she also lost three pounds...is it wrong i hope i get it :laugh: ???0 -
Mister Sister... We will be cheering you on!!! Know that you'll be in our prayers tomorrow!!!:drinker:0
-
Well I haven't had my offical weigh in at work, but I weighed myself at home and I was down 2 lbs. That puts me at a total of 20 lbs lost since the first of the year! I'm pretty excited about that!0
-
My goal is to be able to catch Thompsons for the amount of weight lost...she seems to be leading the pack right now from what I can tell!0

SO proud of you mister sister :bigsmile: to bad there isnt a happy dance icon i would love to give that to you. 20 pounds is AMAZING im still hope to finally reach 10 :devil: 5 weeks in fingers crossed. Its good your excited embrace it and i have no doubt you will reach thompson only for the fact that you are a guy and if you watch the biggest loser (I HAVENT SEEN THIS WEEKS SO PLEASE NO SPOILERS UNTIL TOM NIGHT unfortunetly i have school until 9 pm and have a 45 minute commute home and miss the whole entire thing that show is such a support for me) they lose much bigger numbers then girls. although thompson is doing great.
how is your wife feeling about your weight loss?
have we all been on this diet for 5 weeks i started january 12 when did everyone else start?0 -
I am sure you will catch me and pass me in no time. For the simple reason that guys seem to lose more. I think I will be hiting my plato when I get to 190. That is usually where I get and have a hard time breaking that.My goal is to be able to catch Thompsons for the amount of weight lost...she seems to be leading the pack right now from what I can tell!
Pep- I started January 5th, good thinking to see when everyone started.0 -

I am such a Biggest loser fan! I hate that it does not even start until the 28th here on our tv. I can not wait to watch it. I always get very motivated to lose weight when this show is on.0 -
I actually started mine on the 1st of Jan. I knwo it's kind of corny to start a new years resolution. But I told my seld this year it wasn't going to be a diet, it was going to be a complete 180 from where I had been. This is the first ime that I can remember that I have actually stuck with a resolution this long. I think we have all made it through the hardest part, which is breaking away from the bad eating habits to form new ones that are more healthy! So for that i say Congrats to us a TEAM!0

*****UPDATE******
When I got to work and weighed in I was actually down a lb from where I was this morning. My scale at home is digital and old so I'm sure it's not the most accurate one. We got us a real fancy one at work that is brand new. SO I'm gonna go by that one! :laugh:0 -
Yay! So 3 lbs this week! I need a new scale but I am scared it will tell me I am heavier than I am. I have a plain old kind that the dial goes up when you step on it. It is not old but I want a digital. Our old digital broke and I couldn't see spending $60 on a new one. I guess I should break down and do it some time soon though.*****UPDATE******

Holy crap, you guys!!! I'm so happy for you, but send some of that weight loss my way!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0
-
Well i wish I could call it a full 3 lbs, but in all reality it is more like 2.3 lbs. But I am still happy to see the big numbers tick down a little bit. The scale here at work goes to the exact tenth and the one I have at home only does half and whole lbs. It's just one of those victories that help mentally.0

Let me just tell you gals something............Friday is our weigh in day here at work and someone had the sones to bring in 24 assorted Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to work! some are glaze, some are choclate, and choclate w/ sprinkles and some are creme filled! What a horrible thing to do to the ones of us that are working at this thing really hard. I told one of the girls that works here to let me know when she was going to eat one that way i could smell it and watch her eat it and then she could tell me about after she was done. I WILL NOT EAT ONE! STAY STRONG! They all know that sweets are my downfall!:explode:0
-
It sounds like someone is plotting against you... Enable-er!!! Enable-er!!! Don't let them tempt you!!! Stay strong, and I know you can do it!!0

you hit 20 pounds thats awesome im ready for the big 1-0 sounds like you had your temptation challenge and won good for you.
yes i think everyone should say when they started the diet so we have an idea like i said i started jan 12 that means this is really my fifth week aaaah cant believe it and mister dont worry i made the resolution on new years but wasnt as commited as you good for you for really starting it on the first.0 -
I agree Pep...
I started on 2/9/09...3 lbs down :grumble:
however the continuing theme is slow and steady wins the race right?
Hope every one is having a good day :flowerforyou:0 -

well that is my theme at least :bigsmile: i am the tortoise but everyone can be and we will beat the rabbit 0 -
Hey I hope I'm not the rabit. I know I am in the lead right now but I am sure it will not stay that way for long. I am not sure how it is falling off me. I eat all my calories, some times more. I just workout like crazy and I actually slowed that down this week cause I think I was working out to much and not eating my workout calories so my body was hanging onto the pounds. I was basically putting myself to low on calorie intake.I agree Pep...
