    Marla-That's actually a good question. We always kept it in a half bath downstairs so dropping it in the toilet was probably the only worry. I don't image it would be a problem. In general I would recommend weighint yourself on a hard surface.....hmmm perhaps you can store is away from the steam and drag it into the bathroom to weight yourself lol. Sorry it has a 5 pounds heavier, but at least you have made it just as far you were just 5 pounds heavier at the start. I hope it gives you good numbers and happy momments. lol

    Just tired to take Riley (The two year old) to his first movie. Yah, it wasnt a disaster but about 10 mins in he was saying "hey daddy, I wanna get out of here. I wanna go to your car." So I brought him back home. Wife and the big one are still at the movies so I will be picked them up in a little bit. Wasnt too bad for a first attempt. He just got bored once he ate his fill of pop-corn.

    lol

    Have a great day all! :drinker:

    Today I beat my personal best on the treadmill. I ran my 5k in 35 minutes at a 1 incline. I proceeded to walk at a 4mph and did my crazy incline routine for another 1.150 miles. all together 55minutes 653 calories burned! Exhausted today and have a huge migraine. I think it's from not eating enough protien today. I think I might make myself a protien shake after dinner.

    Amanda I hope you are feeling better.

    Marla why is it always you that gets picked on?:wink::wink: :wink:

    Sara I hope everything is going ok for you and your family.

    Roni you can BEAT HIM!! GIRL POWER ALL THE WAY!!

    Spyguy,Andy,Andrew whatever you liked to be called :wink: :wink: Be nice to Marla!! :laugh: and what movie did you try to see? We haven't tried the movies with M yet I don't think she could handle it unless it was a princess movie!:grumble:

    Thanks Sam:happy: Must beat Andrew...Must beat Andrew:laugh: We girls gotta stick together:wink:

    Well yesterday it was cold and rainy here and it was Sunday (which I normally take as my day "off" from any real exercise) but I grabbed up my 14 yr old son (who has went from a size 40 waist to a 36:happy: ) and we went for a power walk/jog in the 30 something degree temps and a bit more than a drizzle, but less than a "rain" falling on us:ohwell: We only went for 40 mins but because we added alot of intervals of jogging into it, it was effective!:drinker: Then, I get up this morning and we have another 2 1/2 inches of snow on the ground:grumble: CANT try to jog in that:noway: I am naturally sooo clumsy I KNOW I would break something lol. I guess I will be breaking the DVD's back out today to get my workout in.

    Well, its early and I still need to log my food and do a little reading of threads (lurking lol), talk to ya later on gang, have a great morning!:flowerforyou:

    Happy Monday everybody!!!!! :smile:

    Happy to see you back, Amanda!!

    Friends, it was a joyful weekend with our visiting friend, Dave-- I gabbed about it on the proud thread so I won't belabor it here. Suffice to say that it was therapeutic and joyful and I haven't laughed that much in a long, long time. My heart is light.:smile::happy: :tongue:

    Started out each day eating well, then succumbed to night nibbles, so I'm a bit behind the curve this morning on that front. But, started off again this morning with a low-cal parfait. Since I'm running, have the eating back under control (past two evenings notwithstanding) I changed my goals for a couple weeks back to 1200 calories to get this moving. Now that I have a trustworthy scale (thank you, thank you, thank you) I want to get some loss going again.

    I also changed my official goal back to 50 pounds loss-- I know I can do it. I truly won't be satisfied if I stop short of that--

    So off we go-- my weigh in days will be Sunday mornings, so I'll let you know next week how it's going.

    Off to work-- still trying to catch up.

    Black team hugs to all-- make this a good week, people--

    I don't think I will be doing ANY exercising today. I got a really bad stomach ache at about 9:30 so I went to bed and woke up an hour later with the worst stoch cramps I have ever had. Kinda felt like I had a kidney stone again. A woke up sick at 11:30pm and we were all up minus M until 3:30am. woke up at 8 still sick. called out went back to bed at 9am and slept until noon. Do I feel better NOPE not really! :noway: :grumble: :grumble: I have ate today oatmeal chicken broth toast stuff to sop up the mess that is my stomach so I'm not starving it.

    if I feel better later I will be back.

    Supposedly my net will be back online tomorrow. I've done terribly at calorie counting without the net. :frown:

    Had a very bad experience at the gym the other day and am considering canceling membership and just working out at home/outside since it's summer now anyway.

    And, I can't stick around to read, sorry guys. ): I feel bad.

    Hey! You get back here, young lady-- you can't just leave an ominous message like that and leave us hanging-- what happened at the gym? Were you hurt? Are you okay? WTH?

    Fill us in when you can, woman!

    Haha. Good thing I checked before leaving work today.

    I phoned the gym in morning to see what time they close and was told 10PM. So I went at 9:15pm to workout and the guy at the desk cursed at me and accused me of being a moron because: The f-ing sign on the -fing door says we close at f-ing 9:30!

    So I apologized and quietly left and he was swearing at me even as I left and then watched me through the window as I walked to my car. I was extremely mortified by the experience. :frown:

    I've never seen him before, not in the morning when I usually go but if I do see him again I'm pretty much done there. I don't do confrontation and I really don't do being sworn at.

    Oh, for the love of Pete-- well, bless you-- you have a sweet soul to be apologetic and to leave so sweetly. Me? I'm mouthy and would have had something to say-- :angry: :grumble: :mad: :noway:

    I hope you report this f-ing person for his f-ing behavior-- if he's this f-ing rude to you, you know he's f-ing rude to others and has no business behind the f-ing desk. :wink:

    (I do believe that's the most times I've used f-ing in one sentence in my life-- ha!)

    Oh girl! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that *kitten*. You're much stronger than I am to leave so quietly and calmly...I usually don't do confrontation either, but that outright disrespect would have made me lose all of my home training. I do hope you report him. If he would do that to you, he's probably done it to plenty of others.

    Good golly! You are a kind soul!
    If it had been me, I probably would have gotten plenty of cardio beating him viciously about the chest, neck and head. Then plenty of strength training doing pull ups in my cell. Sheesh. So sorry you had such a bad experience. I would definitely report that one.

    Nicky-You should not take this lying down. It is imparative you call the GM of this gym and discuss this. That employee was more than just eyerolling rude, he was out and out crude and should be FIRED.

    This is a good time to get a free year at that gym...........or some PT sessions. Man, I wish I was there I would go straight to the top. That kind of stuff burns me like no other:mad: :mad:

    Morning all.

    Hope everyone is doing well this morning. I had to drive a few hours for a training this morning. I am here way to early so I am sitting in my car waiting for someone else to get here. Had a lot of fiber for breakfast and a big ol cup of coffee. This is gonna be the longest half hour of my life. I know..... Tmi. Anyway bad new this week is that as of this morning I am still up a pound from last week. Good news is I am also up a full percent of muscle mass. So I guess its ok
    Anyway. Have a good day all. I will check in later.j

    I am so sorry. I am so angry for you.

    If you call the GM and gently explain what occured to you, I bet he is really nice about it. Sometimes you MUST stand up for yourself.

    I was a doormat for YEARS. Now I gently and intelligently take my matters to the manager. If I do not ge satisfaction there, I ask for their corporate office phone number. If there is anything I can do PM me

    okay, Andrew, Beth-- your scale sucks. I'm up 2 pounds since Sunday morning--

    Seriously-- :wink: not sweatin' it-- TOM days away, basketball on Sunday, 3.5 mile run yesterday and great with calories so I'm not worrying.

    My next weigh in is next Sunday, then I'll probably get back to Wednesdays with all y'all. ( Or 'youse guys" as we say here in the New York area)

    Later, cats!!
