    THE SUN CAME OUT! HOORAY! :smile: I haven't seen that bright thing in the sky in a REALLY long time.

    Anyway, I'm still bummed about life, in general. But I haven't binged... still! Improvement. Because I keep imagining myself coming on here and telling you all that I binged and then I feel embarassed, so then I don't do it in real life. haha. So thanks!
    Today I had to go buy khaki capris for tomorrow. Actually, I bought bermudas, but whatever. I grabbed hangers that read 14, 16, and 18, expecting the 16 to fit. But of course I try on the pants on the hanger that says 14 just to see. They fit. Whoah! I was so excited. BUT, now that I got home and just cut off the tag, they are really a 16. Someone put them on a 14 hanger by mistake. :angry: And here I thought I was making progress... :sad: Oh well.

    Vani - ditto what Liz said. Don't fret. :smile:

    Thanks guys, I know, I dont' feel too bad about it, which is good, I just can't get out of control, ya know :ohwell: I'm over it and I worked out during my lunch hour and I"m back on track.

    I hate this stormy weather because we get a lot of tornados here and I'm not too fond of those...bring back my sunny hot weather :love: That way I can do more outside too.

    I'm sorry you've been bummmed nevermore, but atleast you have your eating control!

    I've always wanted to see a tornado! (Ok so now you all prolly think I'm crazy but whatever, I've wanted to be a storm chaser since I was little and Phoenix isn't great for severe storms)

    Well, off I go to the special olympics. :smile: As of yesterday, it was supposed to be a nice day today - in the low 80s and partly/mostly cloudy. But now, of course, there's a 50% chance of Tstorms in the afternoon. Just great... :noway: And, I'm not allowed to carry anything besides what I have to - 2 forms of ID, my car key, and my cell phone, and anything they give me. Therefore, if I get drenched, not only am I going to be drenched ALL day (great for being sick - right?), but my phone will get mad at me. PLEASE DO NOT RAIN! And now it's only going to be 73 degrees... and I have to wear shorts/capris. It might be a bit chilly early in the morning...

    Oh, and yesterday I had a pretty good day - went over my calories by 80 or so, but I don't really care so long as its not like 300. We'll see how today goes because I don't know what I'm going to have to eat for lunch and/or dinner.

    Well, have a great day [and a great weekend].

    Just thinking ahead a little bit - if people post or message me your weights on Monday, I'll update the spreadsheet and post a couple versions as new weights come in.

    I hope all goes well. I hate when you have plans and the weather screws everything over:mad:

    Today is supposed to rain here and it's beautiful outside. I already went for a 30 min bike ride, so I'm going to be outside as much as possible today and stay on track with my eating :smile:

    So, it was really nice from about 6:30am (when I left) to around noon. Then, it poured... and is still raining. So, 3 hours of being drenched... they called everything off for the afternoon 2 hours early. But still... it was a long day. Oh, and the concert thingy is canceled tonight because when you step on the grass, you sink a foot (NOT JOKING!) because the ground is beyond saturated... we can't take anymore water!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Haha, Jess, we think alike. As I was leaving, I said "Oh, plastic baggy!". Haha. Awesome.

    Anyway, gotta run. I'll be back later.

    Hy guys I found this in another thread. I don't know if you guyz have read it or not. But to those who didn't, it's really informative.

    Just thought I'd share

    I feel weird starting the new thread since Monique started the team, so I'll just hold my pants on.

    Unfortunately, I'm back up at 180. :sad: Which, honestly, I have no idea why or how! Granted I only went to the gym 4 days last week (but still, Saturday I had quite the workout all day at the special olympics running around everywhere - so 5 days). I might have exceeded my calories a couple days, but I was still well under my BMR (+ exercise calories). I've been eating most, if not all, my exercise calories back, because I'd still have about a 5000 calorie deficit. This is so frustrating! :explode:

    And you cannot say, oh you are just gaining muscle, because the measuring tape says I have not gotten smaller... anywhere.

    Anyway, I hope your scales are nicer to you. I'm going to buy a new cheap scale and compare it to the somewhat expensive (but old) scale in my parents' bathroom. Perhaps it's just worn out... haha.

    So now I'm bummed and don't feel like going to the gym.


    So, when you all wake up (wow! It's already 7am here! time flies), just message me or post your weights and I'll stick them in my spreadsheet. Thanks

    Hi guys, it's been a great morning so far! I woke up early and thought I'd get back into my running routine. I thought, I'd run about 3-4 miles this mornign, but I ended running six miles and I honestly could have gone for forever :love: It felt realy good this morning! In addition I lost an extra pound, so am back in the 140's at 149....YAY! I hope this motivation lasts this whole week :smile:

    SW: (05/10) 152
    CW: (05/15) 149 (down 3)
    GW: 125

    I have had so many of those days where you weigh yourself thinking I HAVE to have lost at least a pound and you lose nothing or gain :mad: Man, it's never a good feeling. Then you tell other people and they're like Oh it's just muscle....PSSSHHH..PUH-LEEZE!

    Just remember that your weight fluctuates and there could be many reasons why nothing happened. You're doing good so don't let it distract you or bring you down...it's a new week, so just forget about last week :flowerforyou:

    freezeframe and vani, i have your new weights in my chart... so when the week 7 thread opens, you don't have to worry about re-posting if you don't want to. congrats to both of you for doing great. :smile:

    i turned my frustration into motivation and just burned 650 calories at the gym. SO tired now. haha
