you added me..thanks for the add.
I am ok with this, but I would rather just make it viewable to friends, not the whole world.I have an idea...What if we all make our food and exercise diaries public? I know I have been keeping mine private because I don't want someone to know if I ate something I feel guilty about, so this way we are even a little more accountable??
I'm only friends with one of you guys, so far so...
expect requests! :bigsmile:

Man, high school seemed so far away, but it was only three years ago. I'll have my bachelor's here soon then off to law school. Wow, time has flied. I remember the day my now husband told me in high school that he was enlisting x.x

I totally agree with you...time has flown by so quickly. I just had my 10 year reunion last year. It does not seem like it was that long ago. I'm getting old! :laugh: Where are you going to Law school? I have a good freind that just finished Loyola in New Orleans.0 -
While I was on my adding "binge" for friends, MFP popped up with a warning "you can only add 5 friends every ten minutes." That seems like a silly limit for a site that's trying to encourage social networking and support!
Just Kidding. Anyway, though, I left it and got distracted so I don't think I've gotten everyone yet... just didn't want you to think I forogt about you! I'm at work now, so I probably shouldn't spend too much time on here. Just wanted to see how everyone was doing. I'll have to go home and ride the bike, cuz I haven't gotten in my cardio for the day! :blushing:
It's almost FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOO I GOT A GREAT IDEA!!!
please read...
so i was talking to my friends trainer and i was telling him about our group... that we all want to lose weight... well he said that excuses are going to be the biggest obsticle...so he said since we are all starting to be able to view eachothers food diary we should have a weekly random viewing each week and the person must post everything that they ate (including that skittle you saw from a bag that was left over) and if someone cheats there is a punishment... (an excersize you might not like or anything i havent decided yet) but im not going to say what day and everyone has to be completely honest! no lieing this is for u not me...
whos in?
and also i need to know who is still in this group...
cause it seems like we have lost some people...0 -

Hello ladies! :flowerforyou:
my oh my what a day. had to drive all the way back to school (45 min. drive) just to get a book that I was supposed to be able to get yesterday, but they sold it to someone else. and I am going crazy. I live with *the* most IMPOSSIBLE woman on the face of the earth (my grandmother). I live with my parents, but we took her in 5 years ago because she couldn't live by herself anymore and none of her other kids would take her because they knew what we didn't..:grumble: Sorry, I know that I sound like the meanest person on the face of the earth, but people just don't understand the type of person she REALLY is. so I am totally stressing because of her and the things she does/says, and anyway it's a long story. I tried to walk out all my frustration and anger this evening but it's impossible because I have to come right back home to it! but enough about that...(sorry just had to do a bit of venting, she's driving me up the wall!)
I ate pretty well today. I did indulge some. I had all the cals and stuff, so I don't feel bad about it. It was a chocolate cake, but with a twist.
1 chocolate cake mix
1 can pumpkin (the small, not the real big one)
mix it up and bake! veggie in a choc. cake? who'da thunk it??
anyway, it was delish!! (if you don't like pumpkin, stay away, b/c you can still taste the pumpkin some..and if you're sensitive to the taste it will probably seem like it's all pumpkin)
and the texture is somewhere between brownies and cake. but it was sooooooo moist and wonderful. and I kept it at ONE serving!
So, I got my cardio in, drank about 6 glasses (enough to be peeing regularly but not every 5 seconds!!), and ate pretty well. I feel pretty good. but I am hoping tomorrow I might be able to get more exercise in. I also have a TON of homework to get done by midnight tomorrow! eep! I also babysit tomorrow, and she keeps me very busy!! lol.
Sorry this is long...I hope you all had a great day today and another one tomorrow!
Tomorrow's friday, already! I can't believe it!0 -
I'm still here........having a crappy week....but I'm still here. :grumble:

Ok. So I have not been diligent the past week or two posting my meals and exercise. Therefore, there's not really much there, if anything. A lot of it has been hospital food, and who the heck knows what's in that. So, today, I'm going to start logging - I promise - so you guys can all look at it. 0 -
okay i smashed it and threw it out the window... lol
that is some impressive will power!!! i might not have been able to do it. :flowerforyou:
Also, I just weighed myself ( I know we're not weighing this week, but I check a few times a week just to see what's up) and I'm at the lowest I've been since I started MFP! The last few weeks I've been fluctuating by a few pounds here and there (so I haven't been recording it...i'm so terrible!) but now I'm dow to 156!!!!!!!!!! I'm so freakin excited!0 -
Hey guys.......so I've had a horrible horrible week and I was embarassed and ashamed to share it with my red buddies.
I don't know what's going on with me.......I was doing SO WELL. I was eating the right amount of calories I was exercising everyday and then on one stupid weekend trip everything fell apart and all my work that I did before then seems useless.
And then tonight I'm going to a graduation reception for my cousin's kids and I already know the type of food they're going to have..............GOOD OL' MEXICAN FOOD!!
I'm at a loss cause I don't know how to get motivated again. :sad:0 -

I'm at a loss cause I don't know how to get motivated again. :sad:
I was also having a lot of motivation issues this week (and last week). :grumble: I don't really have a lot of advice. I posted my big long rant the other day and a couple people responded and that encouraged me a little bit. It made something in me snap yesterday and I said, "You know, I'm going to give it another shot". So, I don't really know what to tell you. I wish I had a sure-fire way for you to get your motivation back. :ohwell: I'm sorry.
Just think about how good it felt before this past week when you were doing remarkably well. I know you want that feeling back! 0 -
This is for everyone.....
IT HAPPENS! We're all human, right? So we're going to fall off the wagon sometimes. but we have to just GET BACK ON!
Take a moment to think about the day you joined this site...How you felt...All that determination. Think about how you felt when you were eating healthy and feeling good.
and then think about before you joined this site. Do you want to feel that way the rest of your life, or feel healthy???
This is about MORE than weight!
And it is a LIFELONG change!
Mistakes will happen, just shake it off and start over NOW.
Don't say tomorrow or the next day, cause they'll never come!!
We CAN do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Thanks Jess, a few of us definitely needed that. 0

I have very high dreams. I want to get into Harvard, if not there probably down in Syracuse because husband will still be stuck up at Drum.0 -

Good Mornining All You Beautiful Ladies of Red,
I hope that everyone is having a fantastic Friday!! I know that there has been some discussions about falling off the wagon the past few weeks! If you are feeling down....don't!! Like Jess said this is a lifestyle change. Rome wasn't built in a day...we all did not get into the kind of shape that we are currently in overnight. It took years for us to get to this point and while we are trying to make the change for the better we are going to slip up. No one expects us to live on this strict regime for the rest of our lives. At some point (probably once we are all used to this current routine) we are going to have to change the way we eat and exercise again to maintain our weight loss! Just remember that if you want it bad enough it will happen...just don't ever give up and if you do feel like giving up come on here and talk to us. That is what we are here for...support and encouragement! We can ALL do this...together!! 0 -
To everyone who is having the problem of staying on the diet...
first off no one is MAKING you do this... this has to be all will power or it will never work.... i know how it feels to look in the mirror and say damn im big... or go through my closet and not being able to fit in my fav shirts... u have to want it!!! or else it will never work!!
everyone is faced with obsticles in their life... like yesterday that stupid twinkie was calling my name... i had two options of either throwing it away or eating it and feeling guilty and i threw it away cause i want this...
everyone should do this...
go onto ur fav clothes site... and look for something that u would love to wear but u know u cant fit into... then tell yourself im going to buy that dress or outfit when i lose weight...
i picked out this very cute ed hardy bathing suit... and when i lose my weight im going to wear it everyday i swear.. lol...
EVERYTHING IS MIND OVER MATTER... AND U MATTER!!!0 -
Good evening, red team!
First, a biiiig thanks to the encouraging posts today for those of us who are [actually, were] falling off the wagon, so-to-speak. :flowerforyou: I'm so glad I'm on this team. You girls give me the little extra push I need.
Today was a fairly good day, I suppose.
I hope everyone is well.
