    O.K. so the week's been not so challenging and today I liked my weight and was pleasantly surprised from the scale. My daughter is 15 today and has 8 friends over. We've been to the mall, they've been swimming in the "cold" pool and I ordered pizza hut. My hubby and other daughter have walked down to a Jimmy Buffet concert and I am here with 8 teenagers eating pizza. I've lost my mind. I wish I was at the concert!!!!! I just posted my dinner and I consumed a whopping 1200 calories in pizza. Luckily my pedometer is reading that I took 11,000 steps today and the day's not over, so maybe I'll offset it a little. This is the first time I've had pizza in I don't know how long. Well, it'll be this long again before I have it once more. Anyway....can't wait to hear how everyone's week has been. The "challenge" is forever on my mind.

    I miss Pizza Hut, lol. I've decided that if I can get through the next 3 months without fast food, I'll treat myself a small personal pan pizza. It's good to treat yourself once in a while. Good luck with the teenagers!!!

    Today was a big disappointment...overate way too much and didn't exercise at all because I was running all day...I feel bloated and disgusting and am wondering if I will show a loss at all for this Monday or if I will be retaining water from the poor food choices I made today...time will tell I suppose...I am way too exhausted to do any exercise tonight, but tomorrow is a new day, and I plan to make the most of it!
  • Hi Everyone

    It seems like all of you are doing great. WTG!!!!!!!! Things are great here. Been exercising - working on getting the water in - this is hard for me. Had to weigh in Friday for another thread but now trying to stay off the scale til Monday. Something else that is hard for me. Well it is late but I am going to go do a walking tape.

    well, haven't lost any weight, but I've been on the 30 day shred for 4 days now. Yeah, I know, 4 days isn't much, but hey...at least I'm doing it right? My husband is away on business for a week and I'm hoping that he'll see a difference when he gets back. He was supposed to be gone for 3 weeks and although I'm glad he's coming home sooner, 3 weeks gave me more of a chance to lose! hahahaa.

    I DESPERATELY need to buy some groceries. My husband bought some stuff before he left and I don't know what he was thinking but he bought ALL junk food!

    I'm reading all of your lists of healthy choices and WISH I had that over here--at least I can get some fruit and veggies though.

    Good morning everyone!

    Saturday I was a bit bad with my eating and ate way over my calories. Yesterday was my rest day of exercising so I hope it dosen't bit me in the butt for tomorrow's weigh-in. Today I will make an effort to work out harder and try to burn alot of calories but we'll see. I hope everyone else is keeping their heads up and doing well. I'll post back later today... Enjoy your Sunday! :flowerforyou:

    Ugh. Last week 152, this week, 151. Am not happy with myself. I got lax on the eating, lax on the exercising. I really should be at 149 - I HAVE to reach that by next week now!! And now the BF wants to come over with BBQ. -scowls- I can't wait till summer. Seriously. No classes will be gym and weight loss heaven if I put my mind to it. One month till then!!!

    I ate really well this week, but my energy level is so low today! I went to bed too late last night and got up too early this morning.... ugh. Any ideas on what to eat that's low in calories to give me a bit of a boost (besides caffeine)?

    My lunch:

    Preheat oven to 425F
    2 medium whole wheat tortillas
    rub them with a clove of garlic and a little bit of olive oil
    Spread on some tomato paste, sprinkle with crushed oregano
    sprinkle on some shaved fat-free turkey breast
    Add whatever veggies you like (I had mushrooms, red onion and red pepper)

    Top with cheese of choice (I used a 1/2 cup of 2% mozzarella, I can't stand fat free cheese... yuck!)

    Put it in the oven on a baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes or until your 'crust' is crispy enough for you

    Soooo yummy!!!

    Happy Sunday, everyone! Today is my official weigh in day and I'm going to stay off the scale until the next one. I was down 1.8 pounds this morning, a total shock! I was sure it would be less than a pound since I really didn't track much. But I'm back with it today so hopefully I can keep this pace for a while!

    Today is also my rest day and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy it.

    Oh!! This morning I put on a skirt that I haven't worn in forever and was able to button it up easily without lying down. LOL And the waist was in the right spot! I was really excited. I can't wait to have more of those moments. :smooched:

    You should be proud of a 1lb lose! That's great, you know how many calories you have to burn for that 1 lb?? 3,500 calories and that's alot... Don't be so critical on yourself atleast your not gaining, right? :flowerforyou: Your doing awesome and keep up the great work because you deserve it! :drinker:

    It's ok if you haven't lose anything yet. Are you drinking your water, eating healthier and exercising? Look back at what your doing and see where it is that you need to improve or change. Don't worry before you know it you'll be on your way to losing! Don't get discouraged either it will happen... Keep it up!

    Pizza, yummy I had a couple of slices yesterday and cheesecake and a drink so I consumed alot of unwanted calories. It's ok because I hardly eat that way and the next meal I had was a healthier one. 11,000 steps that awesome! :bigsmile: I'm proud of you, atleast your getting your exercise in so keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

    Good evening ladies, I didn't offiicially start our journey on Monday so I'll weigh in on Tuesday. It was the TOM this weekend so I really wasn't in the mood to exercise. I took off Friday and Saturday, had major cramps and a headache but I did do my new 10 minute solution boot camp DVD. This chick is crazy. I did 40 minutes and almost past out. It was good though since I made my husband and I a big dinner. I went of f my calories about 200 calories but not worried. If I didn't lose a pound I did work out 4 days this week and 2 pair of my size 16 jeans are literally falling off with out me unbuttoning them. I plan to do the DVD tomorrow ( 40 min) with another teacher and do the Elliptical at the gym (60min) after school. Have a blessed evening.

    The interval program is as long as you want to set it unlike the weightloss one that is set to 30 minutes. I do 60 minutes and it's a workout! Try it out and good luck! :flowerforyou:
  • TOM arrived yesterday for me also so I am not stepping on the scale today. I weighed in Friday for another thread and weighedd 194.5 So with that figure I have lost 2.5 pounds since last Monday. I will take that. Starting weight/goal weight/ current weight/ pounds lost this week.

    indianagranny sw/gw/cw = 210/160/194.5 -2.5 pounds lost.
