    I like the way I feel after I stretch. On the Biggest Loser workout, the last 10 minutes are cool down/stretching. But when I do the elliptical, I finish and then just sit down instead of stretching out. Good challenge, Bobbi!

    Yep, definitely a good one, Bobbi... I usually plop back into my chair after being on the elliptical, too... I like it! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    :heart: Tresa

    Tresa, glad you like it.

    Bobbi - I love this challenge. I am usually pretty good, but I couldn't swear I take up to 7 minutes.. probably more like 3... need more discipline (no kidding)..


    Janie

    Janie, thank you! We all need more discipline.:flowerforyou:

    Sam - you are insane... I strive to be just half as insane as you - I have been completing my workouts, but dragging myself through them recently - weird..

    Just call me tara from the BL. when I was watching last night I was like I'm just like her. She has lost 94 pounds in 9 weeks.

    I am the home version of her.:laugh: :bigsmile:

    So is it Queen Jillian Tara Sam now?:tongue:

    Marla, Do what is best for you. Fretting over getting on the scale every week is not worth the stress.:flowerforyou:

    You know every one talks about water and I just drink when I am thirsty and it works for me. I think if you are eating enough food that has a water base you will be just fine.

    A little weird but your dinker reminded me of that.

    Well, truly it's not getting on the scale that's the hard part...it's seeing the blinkin' needle moving in the wrong direction despite my best efforts. Tilt! Tilt! Tilt! There goes the stress-o-meter off the charts.

    okay-- so yesterday I have a super skinny day....lookin' good, feeling good-- I have 1/2 cup (seriously, I measured it) of scalloped potatoes yesterday for dinner, knowing the sodium is gonna kill me--

    I wake up this morning, roll over on my back to feel my pouch-- always an indicator of how my day is gonna go. If it's flat while laying on my back, all is well with the world. If it's poofy, stay out of my way.

    The #$@! scalloped potatoes worked their flippin' magic and I'm up six pounds today. There is no frickin' way I gained six pounds this week. Hell, whanisch went on vacation and ate with reckless abandon all week and gained 7. Here I am, measuring all food, counting calories, working out and I flippin' gain? WTF?

    So, I'm done. I need to remove myself from this team, weigh-in wise. The stress of the up/down BS is more than I can bear anymore. I have enough in my life, this is puttin' me over the edge.

    With your blessing, I'll stay for the challenges and the support/chit-chat, but this is madness and I'm ready to throw myself off a G.D. Bridge!

    Doesn't help, I know, that my scale is as old as Methuseleh. It takes me forever to get it back to zero before I weigh in. But enough already-- I can't take it anymore.

    I responded this day by having a very healthy breakfast with fruit and eggs-- "key lime pie and lemon pie" one slice of each, followed by a Reese's peanut butter egg. Screw it already. This body wants shock, it'll see shock today. I also had a lovely M&Ms cookie-- as well as some Froot Loops. I'm sick as a dog right now.....what else can I eat?

    Hopefully things will turn with the HRM that should arrive soon. I also ordered a food scale, although I never eat anything that has to be weighed. Who can afford meat? The sodium, boxed, packaged crap that is on our very tight budget is death for health and weight loss. I guess the fact that I've lost even 31 (well 31 before today-- ) is a flippin' miracle.

    okay...heading to work....aggravated, crestfallen, downhearted.....but determined to press on. However, I won't be weighing in weekly anymore. :noway:

    :heart: to all.

    Yikes Marla. Please do stick around and visit with us. We'd worry about you otherwise.

    *hugs* I'm sorry the scale is causing so much stress my dear. Stay away from it! Heck! Throw it OUT! You don't need that worry. You are doing so great with your food & exercise, I'm not sure the scale even matters at this point. Stay with us, though! :heart:
