Go, Rach!!! You can do it!
I only last .5 pound from last week but I know that I'm probably still seeing the effects of my husband's leave. My body has a good 1-2 week lag with progress so I just KNOW I'll see something better on the scale next week. I wasn't perfect this week and I'm really fine with that. I did much better than I have been and I know I'm back on the right track. I'm logging every last bite and have been steadily exercising every other day. Once I can keep that up for a few weeks, I'll be adding in more time and more workouts per week. :bigsmile:
About working out with the hot cops: I'll try to tell myself that, Rach! I had a girl in gym class ridicule me the entire semester (making comments about jiggling flab while I ran and such) and ever since then, I have been mortified to work out in public. I faced my fears this year and started taking my daughter for walks but I've still been too scared to step into a gym. I know I can do this. I know I HAVE to. That stupid girl cannot have any more control over my life!

I'm not making it up! Haha. I've been told by numerous guy friends that they find an out-of-shape girl that is working to be healthy (not obsessive about it of course) more attractive than a 'skinny' girl that couldn't care less...all those guy friends are fit of course. Biking, rock climbing, white water rafting type guys haha.
I've noticed it a lot from all sorts of people though. They don't seem to care what stage of your 'transformation' you're in, they're just impressed that you're there!!
I know how you feel though, because though I'd love to join a gym I just feel way too self-concious. I'm getting there though. I wear capri's outside now on walks with my friend, and that was HUGE for me! My legs haven't seen the light of day in years. :laugh:0 -
I weighed in today and I weighed 190! My weight has went up 8lbs! TOM again.. which sucks! But I know my eating hasnt been good.
I have been plateauing between 182-190 for the last who knows... 3 or 4 months. I get down to 182 then TOM comes and I go back up... then go down.. then up... you get the idea.
I figured if I can stick to my eating and have 2 binge days a month (NEED it for TOM haha) I will be at my goal by the end of the year. I want to work out at least 3 times a week at 30mins for now. Of course losing weight is all just simple math... It is so easy yet I have such a hard time :grumble:
My husband was asking me how he can help motivate me.. what would make me want to do this... and really theres nothing... I dont want anything... Im not really doing it for any reason... I just want to be thin (not even thin.. just healthy) and look great, but it seems that is not even really a motivation for me. I know one thing that makes me want to keep going is seeing how much better I look in photos now.. and when ppl compliment my weight loss, but that "high" always fades away. My biggest problem is eating when im not hungry. I eat because it tastes good and I want to, not because I have to.
Ive been at this since last Feb... My start weight was 220lbs, and now Im 190lbs. Many say that I have done good.. but I know I could have done so much more! My goal was to be at 190lbs LAST june!! And im at 190lbs now.. It really gets me down. I could have done more, I could have been at my goal by now!! But I just cant control my eating... :sad:
Today I want to start over. I will record my eating again and stay between 1400-1500 unless exercise... I always drink my water.. I die without it now hahaha 3 workouts a week at least.. 30 mins. Allow myself 2 binge days a month. Start weight 190lbs, goal 160lbs by the end of December.
Do you think this is all attainable? Should I change something? Suggestions please!! haha0 -

My very recent ex-bf just got denied a green card. Our wonderful immigration board told him either you get married or get out, and they, as well as his lawyer, are keeping the thousands of dollars I loaned him.
I am completely crushed right now, and just want to run away. :brokenheart:
Exercise just may be what helps you feel better.
I am very sorry--I don't get the government, and I probably never will. Good luck! I wish you and him the best. :flowerforyou:
I have a friend whose ex-GF had the same thing happen. She has lived here since she was 8yrs old (12yrs) and she was told she has until December to get married or her whole family has to leave. But I work with a lot of immigrants who were able to get there citizenship in less than two years. The whole system is screwy and complicated. :explode:0 -
ARRRG!! Im cooking up my breakfast and I am quite hungry.. Im frying up some potatos... and either my husband or brother in law have hid the salt on me!!!!!! :explode: This SUCKS!! I cant believe them!! They always threaten me, but this time they have taken it away! :sad: I have no seasoning salt! I have nothing else to replace it! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!!
Oh my goodness!! I just LOVE this food diary thing where you can make it public!! I JUST noticed it!! I think this will help me soooo much! AWESOME! :bigsmile:0 -
Arrrrrgggg.
last week 208
This week 209.
I've also started wogging not enough like the C25k, but more of a cal burn than walking.
Dam!:mad: With that calorie burn thought for sure I'd see lower.
I'm more pissed because I did see 207 before weekend, but now I know I sabatoged myself this past weekend at a friends trailer with BBQ and beers.
On the positive: Feels good to be wogging, I do about 2 miles, sometimes 4 miles (and it's steadily improving, so I'll just think of that positive for the week, and think about not letting last weekend happen again.0 -

Remember that your hard work can take a few weeks to show up on the scale AND you have to go over your weekly calorie allotment by 3500 to genuinely gain a pound. I'm sure you'll see it slide right back off next week if you keep up the good work. You're doing awesome, don't let it get you down!0 -
This week is going to be crazy that is for sure. Monday we headed to the cites for two days which means the lifestyle changed a lot. I'm home now and watching what I'm eating and WILL be doing the wii active tonight and then tomorrow night I have tae kwon do. :drinker: I'm going to officially join tomorrow. So that is two days a week and then the other three i will do the wii active along with walking at night with my family. This weekend is going to be nuts because my husband and I are going on our first Motorcycle run. I will try my best but can't promise much more than that. Crazy week. I have feel way off the wagen but plan on getting back on. I need to get back on. Everyone keeps looking at me and says I don't need to loose anymore but they don't see what I see or see the scale. I was hoping to loose it all by my birthday so still keeping my fingers crossed. That damn diet sunkist is evil. Last summer it was tea. Bad habits. O and Dairy Queen isn't any better. I LOVE sherbet however.
Everyone is doing such a great job wtg you guys. Keep your chin up.0 -
Have you tried the Thick and Creamy Yoplait - I love the key lime and just tried the Lemon meringue and it was like heaven!0

:drinker: just went back to my reports to check the results. I started 4/26/09 at 199.4.......today 6/24/09 i am 15.4 lbs lighter.....still have a long road ahead of me but at least i am "walking" on it in the right direction for a change!0

Way to go!! It's a great feeling to hit those 5 multiples, 15, 20, 50, etc....great job!0

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You're cute j! What's the other one called, besides square? Mesomorphic anyways, although my theory stands that if you didn't develop a good toned muscle structure as a teen/young adult, when you get to my age it's so hard to develop. What's the motorcyle run? You both will do great:bigsmile: ! My daughter said next year she and I will do a shorter run, and dance our way to the finish line! That would be hilarious, but she'd chicken out and I'd look like an *kitten*!:laugh: Actually, I think I'm too competitve...I might push her out of my way to get a good time!:laugh:
I have a new challenge for us. Kind of... I think each of us should write an ATTAINABLE goal and show each other, then maybe we'll stick to it and be held accountable. What do you think?
This is mine...I will not go over 1800 cals this week each day INCLUDING if I exercise.:bigsmile:0 -
We bought a motorcycle not too long ago and its for the childrens mircle network. This is our first time doing something like this but for sure support this network.0

An attainable goal for me for this week is going to be to get 5 workouts in!! This is a challenge because this week has been so busy plus I start another class on Monday!
What is everyone elses?0 -
An attainable goal for me is to stay within +/- 100 calories of my daily goal. I may not be eating all good quality foods as I find my rhythm with the new job but I know I can still stay within my calorie range. So, even if I have to stop and get food somewhere, I might make the smarter decision and get a fresh salad from the supermarket by my house instead of drive through grilled chicken and french fries to stay within the range. I just can't say no to french fries. Ever. Anywhere. I don't think it's in my DNA. They don't have french fries at the salad bar, so I'm good. 0

Mine is eating hard candy. It always makes me go over my calorie limit, sooooo for a whole week I will not eat one mint or candy! (now I just have to throw out that big bag of mints that's sitting on my counter!:laugh: )0
-
Sorry I didn't get the chart up, I'll try tonight.0
-
My attainable challenges will be to log in all my food/exercise this week and drink my 8+ glasses of water. I've gotten off track the last few weeks and I need to refocus. Back to the basics for me :blushing:0

I make "french fries" for me and my family all the time....cut up enough potatoes for the 4 of us into fry shape, wash, dry, toss with 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season salt to taste, broil each side for 7-10 minutes - til they are almost ready to burn - my whole family loves them....hope you like it too!0 -

Thanks, Chrissy! I'll try to give it a shot. I've got some potatoes sitting on the counter just begging to become french fries! :bigsmile:0 -
Even better is to use sweet potatos! Reg. potatoes are a no no. Those all sound like great goals. As for the hard candy, Walmart in the US has a great selection of sugar-free candy like Werther's, mints, etc. I have them almost daily too, but take the 40 cals (for 5). I went over a bit yesterday, but as long as I'm in the near range, I'm happy. Tonight we are going for dinner after my son's Grad Convocation. GREAT, just when I started back on track. I am really going to try to have the willpower. It's hard when you just don't know what to order that'll make it less cals. And then to log it!:grumble: It's a busy day, hope I have time to at least walk on the treadmill....:drinker:0

kath - we tried sweet potatoes and they were for no other better term - nasty - the kids will eat the red potatoes but not touch the sweet potatoes....they were mushy0

Yesterday I did good at eating only what I had logged...
Right before work (im a line cook) I had some rice and carrots... By the time I got to work I was soooooooo hungry!! So I had a like 2 or 3 chicken wings (wing night last night and im the wing girl), I was still REALLY hungry so I like 1/4 of a bun with freshly made jam (which was just a little sour so I LOVED it!). After I didnt feel hungry but man did I want to eat!! It was a hard fight especially when things got slow! But I drank and drank my water and kept myself busy! I did dishes.. I went to the bathroom, I drank water anything!! I wish I had gum! I needed something! But im proud that I didnt give in! :bigsmile: I did go over my cals a bit yesterday but I was still under my maintenance cals! So that was alright!
Today I am trying to eat 6 small meals. Will see how that goes!0 -
carrie - you should be proud that you didn't give in! Every little thing we accomplish piles up in to a huge mound of success!0

Thanks chrissy! You always make me feel so great and your such an inspiration!! :flowerforyou:0
