    So I totally let it slip my mind that Fridays are a new week for here and I didnt weigh in or anything. oh, well will do that tomorrow morning. My friday is going okay. The day is a bit slow....but oh well.
    Congrats on such a great weight loss MissV VC!! That is soooo great. I doubt I did so well....What can I do to re motivate myself to go back to the gym. I know I have to get the the shoe lady and find out the proper shoes so I can help fix my knee. I have the worst pain even after a few mins on the treadmill and I think that is my problem. If I cant do my cardio I dont like going. I dont mind weights but running really is a stress reliever. I might need to get there Monday (shes not there on weekends)....but definately need to do some sort of workout in the meantime. I didnt hit my weight loss goal in the time I allowed myself but I am not beating myself up about it. Just pushing forward and hope to see some progress very soon.
    I hope everyone has a great weekend....and give all the love to your daddys and husbands if they are fathers. Have a good one!!

    hey everyone....weekend is here!! hope you all have a good one and a nice fathers day to all the hubbies, father's and role model daddies.....what would we do w/out our men? :wink:

    WELCOME to green team squib...glad to have you along on our journey.....visit when you can, and wishing you much success! we are here for you!!

    kitn ~ i know what you mean about the treadmill. actually, i think the treadmill is a harder workout than on my own outdoor walk/jog. for some reason on the blacktop or rock roads is easier physically for me, and i can go faster and farther. i also think that joggin and running is hard on our knees, no matter where done, and joints overall. i know if i dont keep at it, i am sore and achy the next day. but i do get better results with jogging. hope you can get your shoes soon. i would just do some power walking until then, something aerobic. hey, enjoy the anniversary sunday!! :heart:

    well i have a couple of things for the challenge this week...... 1) NO chips 2) tricep exercises. i must have 5 bags of chips in tne house now, and chips are my downfall. and the flabby, flappin arms...just do something every other day thru next friday. if you guys want something else, just put it out there.....i am fine with whatever!! ok, so no salty, crunchy snackin and get firmin' your wings! :bigsmile:

    Well, I survived babysitting my nephews. They are full of energy, and I kept up. That is new for me. About killed myself playing tetherball with them (in a good way). Did have pizza for dinner, but tried to eat it slowly and enjoy every bite. Otherwise, I did very well food wise.

    Ha ha ha i guess I confused some.

    I went and got hypnotised on Friday. The hypnosis is called the Hypnotic Gastric Bypass. It basically is telling your brain that you cannot eat more then a certain amount or u get sick. The portions are 2 oz each. So, 2 oz ding bean.....2oz meat....2 oz rice whatever I eat it has to be in 20z oe 1/4 cup increments and high in protein / lean meats. 3 times day unless I workout. I can have as much liquids as I want, so if I want a smoothie, or protein shake or juice or whatever I can as long as it's in my cals.

    I did it yesterday and seemed alright, had a smoothie when I had that sweet craving and kept it within my cals.

    Will let ya all know. Oh and I weighed yesterday at 232....I am 230 today, so I am fluctuating crazy right now.

    and on another note. The new wedding dress came in in the correct size.....a bit snug to get zipped, but that is not the worst part......my back fat is bothering me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dress goes really low in the back...I am taking it with me to my grandma's and gonna see if she can take it from halter to over the shoulder straps....I think that will help to bring the back up for me.....

    Anyone with any ideas on getting rid of the back fat let me know. I know target workouts don't work, but if I could get something done here. I have 1 month!

    Good Monday morning GT!! Let's all have a healthy week and really try hard at our wt loss goals....WE CAN DO IT!

    had gatherings at my parents and inlaws yesterday, and over ate x2! at least i didn't feel sick tho, like last week one day. :frown: leftovers were sent home and we already had some of our own, so our frig is packed.....looks like i won't be cooking for the guys for a couple of days! :bigsmile: this will help me stay on track too. also, am hoping my cycle ends soon here....had a horrible weekend with it and 3 accidents. i know it is diff for everyone, but how long does pre/perimenopause last? i am going on 4-5 yrs of this and the last year or so has been horrid. keeps me 'homebound' at least 2 days now every 23-31 days. :grumble: my 'real' mom had a hysterectomy at 46 or so, and they really dont do them anymore.. my dr wants me to have an ablation, but they are not guaranteed. have had 2 ultrasounds and 1 biopsy. all say everything is ok, no fibroids, no endometriosis, no cancer. tired of ruining underwear, and never knowing when...the 'flooding' is by far the worse. i am basically stuck on the stool for 6-7 hrs at a time..... birth control is not an option. :ohwell:

    sassie ~ this whole lifestyle change IS a total head game!! i agree...and the hardest thing to change, our mindset. i would have a chef and a personal trainer if i could! oh, and someone to either guard the kitchen or have a locked door to the frig and cupboards paddlelocked!. glad it is going good for you. re the back fat. yeah, there really isn't any one movement that will help, cept lots of cardio, but doing squats with your arms raised (maybe even holding 5-10 lbs) above your head does work all the back muscles....some people cannot even do this move without a lot of practice, or work up ot it. another thing that i do is just a stretch with your arms....1. stand with your feet about hip width apart, knees slightly bent. 2. reach across the front of your body, raising your arm to the air and also, the arm you are raising, stretch the same leg but out away from body and toe/foot pointing on floor. 3. it will look like you are making an X (one line of it) switch back and forth with arms/feet. you should feel a good stretch down the entire back side (back fat). be careful not to hurt yourself, and i would suggest doing this AFTER your cardio session, so you are limber and muscles are warm. (best time to stretch, and less likely to pull a muscle.) i too have back fat, but it isn't as bad now. a good bra helps with it too. :bigsmile:

    jacque ~ hope you had a nice lunch w/your dad. :heart: how are things going with your family?
    azwildcat ~ sounds like you had fun with the little guys!! 1 boy = lots of energy, 2 = TONS of energy!! :bigsmile: good job on the pizza!!

    well hope everyone is doing good and ready for a WT LOSS week. i am on my last week of driving for the summer and a very busy, hot, humid week here. 2 games today, will be in the bus probably 3+ hrs, and at games for 8 hrs. UGH!! :glasses: take care guys!

    Ok all, I really let myself lose focus this last week and I feel like crap. So I know this work out does more then just help lose weight it actually make you feel better and stronger. So as of today back on the wagon so to speak. Hope everyone is doing good, and once again thanks for all the prayers and support. I really love you guys:heart::heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    hiya greenies!

    i am so sorry i've been mia on MFP, i have a very horrible connection (wireless) so until i buy me a local cable one, i avoid foreign sites as they load forever for me...:ohwell: i've been spending most of my time on a Bulgarian forum, which i am now a moderator of... it's not for weight loss but healthy living in general + raw foodism, although most people are not necessarily completely into it...

    i have really been obsessed with eating clean and then vegan raw foodism, actually i wanted to share long before with you how am i losing all this weight but always kept putting it off... i don't log in my food anymore for about 2 months now... at the beginning i was more conscious and careful of how much i eat but then just let myself eat more and more, while on the other hand i excercise less and less... i'm pretty sure i consume a good 3000 calories on most days while MFP has me at about 1200 cals right now... so i'm supposed to gain but in reality i keep losing and losing... i am down to 196.2lbs today, i think i was at 204.4 when i last checked in with the GT 2-3 weeks ago... :smile:

    here is one good video about someone who lost weight on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk4sw_rYucg

    i know it's supposed to be calories in vs. calories out but in reality i've really come to the conclusion that it does matter what the calories in come from... i don't want and can't make anyone go as hardcore as me, as what i'm doing is really very hard to switch to, esp. if you don't have much time to uncook yourself all the raw dishes i prepare for me... plus i was a vegetarian to begin with, so switching to vegan was kind of easy, then all i had to give up is cooked/processed foods... now all i eat is 100% raw and uncooked (well maybe with a couple exceptions that i just can't find a substitute for), i eat like 6 times a day and at least half these times are something pretty caloric, i also eat my own raw cakes or sweets EVERY day, including chocolate cakes and such and i just keep losing weight regardless... i know it sounds incredible but it's so true!:happy:

    i don't want it to sound like advertising or anything, i am just one happy girl who went from 3rd level obese to almost down to overweight in a couple pounds, so i just love to share this great lifestyle i've found with everyone... you can do your own research on google if you are curious about raw foodism but even if you will not consider this as an option, i really ADVISE you to try and eat as much raw food as possible and as clean as you possibly can, i promise you, it does make a difference:flowerforyou:

    kellyyyyyyyyy~ so glad you are back on here, MFP sure needs someone like you around!:flowerforyou:

    HIIIII PURRR! you made my day girl! so good to hear from you....miss skinny skinny! WOW :noway: , you are amazing! thanks for all the updates on you and your eating. i agree clean, natural and raw is the best.....why, they never had all this processed, sugar, salt laden, etc food years, 100's of years ago. just look at what has been done to food. ICK! i've alway said fake food is a NO NO. 3000 calories a day! absolutely crazy purrr! and it is working! when you first started it, like that first week of raw, did you lose a lot initially, like most of us do?....water wt? how long you been at it now? so very interesting Purrr!! :bigsmile:

    yesterday was a LONNNGGGG day. i had a bus trip from 8:45 > 2:15, then again from 3:40 > 11:20. and is anyone else enjoying the 90's, high dew point / humidity, and high heat index? :glasses: :glasses: :glasses: too much for me. i was so slimy when i got home last nite....i felt like a wet noodle.....the shower couldn't have come sooner!! UGH!!

    jacque ~ i've heard good things about the shred. will work your A-- off! :bigsmile:

    how is everyone doing?? working the 'wings'? i have increased my wts to 10 lbs now. i dont think i was lifting enuf..... am getting the burn they all talk about now. :tongue: have a great day team.....3 more days til we weigh!

    Hey all, sorry its a little crazy here, well I will weight in later this morning after I wake up. My sister is doing better. My one aunt passed away and the finale arrangements are done. My aunt that in the hospital is doing better. Once they get her hemoglobin up they will be able to do surgery, hopefully next week. My aunt Susan is still with us , but they removed all support and comfort measures only, so it a waiting game, well I have not anything other then eat and sleep.

    ooh, jacque, sorry i've missed that... sounds like a lot of struggle you're going through, i'm not really close with my aunts but sounds like yours mean a lot to you and it's always painful to see your beloved ones go... it's just how life is, we all go to the same place in the end... you can't do much for your aunts but care and love them like you do... :flowerforyou:

    but then there is still you - you are younger, healthier and capable of doing something good for yourself, i believe seeing how your dear aunts end their days in hospital should stimulate you to work even harder, so that you can be healthy till very old age and save your children the pain that you are going through right now (i suppose your aunts are not too old, judging from your age) :flowerforyou:

    blessings and warm wishes to you, please don't lose your own motivation for your own life and goals... you are your own person and whatever hardships you face in life, you are still that person striving towards the same things :flowerforyou: :heart:
  • purrr
    purrr Posts: 46
    i guess i'm late for the challenge as this week is almost over.... and it was a good one, i mean the wings part, not the chips part cos i don't eat that kinda stuff anymore... but my arms are flabby, they've always been flabby even when i was "skinny", i just hate them so much...:angry: the rest of my body is sort of ok, not really flabby, considering the huge mass i've lost but these arms are really a problem, especially in the summertime (which happens to be now :cry:) when i have to wear short sleeve, ugh!

    on the other hand, it's my own fault that i'm not excercising them hard enough... all my excercise now is some garden work, for example did some shoveling today and will do more tomorrow, it does pressure the legs and arms a good deal but i'll be done with this bit tomorrow and then there won't be much work again... it's such a small town here, there's nowhere to really go, so i've quit my long walks as well, usually just walka bout a mile a day, to the garden and back, or to some shop and back, that's all :ohwell:

    so like i said it's incedible that under these circumstances i still lose weight on a regular basis... kelly, i don't know if it made any difference the 1st week when i went completely raw, i think i have been showing some loss every week, sometimes a little bigger, sometimes a little smaller, it's not very different from when i wasn't eating fully raw, the difference is only that i used to eat under 1500cals a day and now i'm always over and usually a lot over... i feel really good because logging every darn morsel and limiting myself all the time had put a lot of pressure on me, now i just don't care anymore and eat as much as i like, except it's always something uncooked and unprocessed... i have been gradually getting there by raising the % of my raw foods until i finally felt ready to go sompletely raw about a month ago... Right now i already feel so used to it and to the real original taste of foodstuff that i'm not even sure i can go back to cooked dishes... the only problem is that you need to make the time and learn to uncook (it's a verb raw foodists use because "cook" is not really aplicable as we don't cook but just blend, mix, dehydrate), it's actually taking less time to prepare you a dinner as you usually need 5 minutes to chop and blend the stuff but initially it takes a lot of time trying all the raw recipes... there are thousands of sites on the web with yummy stuff and there is a raw substitute for every common cooked dish but you need to find it and try it out to check if it fits your own taste... i have been experimenting and trying new dishes all the time and i am simply impressed with all the new tastes i've found... some are similar to something i know, others are simply unique... for example last week i found this great recipe for meatball substitute that's made of flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, olive oil and raw soy sauce and they tasted so incredibly good and resembled real meatballs that i couldn't stop munching at them for a whole week...:blushing: i don't even wanna know how many calories, i'm pretty sure at least 400 a piece and multiply by several a day + of course i eat at least a piece of cake a day or something else sweet, etc etc...

    oh, as for the chips challenge and late night snacking, here is what raw foodists do about it: http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2008/02/late-night-snac.html

    i'm sorry i'm writing so much about it but you can bet i am more than excited to eat so much and lose so much at the same time... it's just incredible and if i can help someone else with the info, i'd be even happier...:smile: if you don't want to go raw or vegan, check out clean eating, which is easier and works just as fine...

    and before i go to bed, let me tell you something i found out before i went raw... how to break a plateau... not that i plateaued a lot, except for a couple days but this thing always made the scale move downwards: have a liquid day! i don't mean fasting or anything like that, it doesn't even have to be a fully liquid day... what i mean is try to get your calories in mostly in liquids throughout the day, in my case it would be nut milk or freshly squeezed juice but if you drink real milk, you can try with that, too, or anything else that's not a pop or alcohol... if you are hungry, go ahead and eat something light but try to keep the bigger portion of calories in liquids during that day.. and let me know if this worked for you and you broke your plateau :flowerforyou:

    morning team.......where O where did everyone go? hope everyone is doing good.

    purrr ~ thanks for all your info...i don't mind your long posts at all, i LOVE it! so, could you share what a typical day of food would look like for you, how much and what? i did read that raw foodist don't cook or heat foods, b/c it can destroy the nutritional value, which makes sense for ALL foods....and it looks like most of the diet is fruits, veg's, nuts? do you take vitamins? i too have the tricep flab...even when i was thinner...thinking this is a hereditary trait?? i am getting better tho bout wearing short sleeves...not being as self concious. hey, have you had any of the other affects of raw food with increased energy or needing less sleep? i am just amazed at how many calories you can consume!! is nut milk like soy milk? and when you say cake, what is in this? thanks again purrr, sharing your wt loss excitement and SO happy for ya! :flowerforyou: and what a nice message to jacque ~ very inspring! :heart:

    Good morning all,
    Purr thanks so much for the reminder of what my perspective should be in all this. Yesterday i tried the all raw thing and did not do too bad, grant you I did not realized how much crap I ate that was hurting my body. Still need to make room for improvement. It is harder than I thought. I too want to know what your cake is?

    Hello all you green people!!!:bigsmile:
    Well today is my last day home and on here before my vacation so I decided to weigh in now so we will have a last weigh in before I come back we hope lighter! not the other way around!!!:laugh:
    Ok weight now is the same as lasttime. I know that I could have been loosing this week but ther has been no gym, and mostly cleaning and packing. :bigsmile: No gym because lasttime i went I hurt my bum.:laugh: :angry: really though i did!
    Some my lovies! keep it going while i am gone! Keep it strong, keep helping eachother succeed, meet goals, and don't forget to have fun! It is summer and a dose of fun is good for everyone!
    I will be back i don't know when because I am visiting family that lives in the sticks, and the internet isout of the question! (Basically Deliverance:laugh: :laugh: no that was wrong)
    But no computer or net:sad:
    So I will miss you all, but will be back sooner then you know it *hugs*
    Miss v:heart:
