edited September 19 in Motivation and Support
New to this thread?? We get pretty chatty here, so if your looking for daily motivation and support... look no further! Come join us! Come track your progress with us and share your goals. We weigh in or measure each Friday under a new thread. Just post your current weight stats and introduce yourself to get started.

No time to post cool stuff like the other teammates..just wanted to get the thread started. GO TEAM!

Let's make this a week of celebrating our victories. Celebrate by 5 or 10 lb chunks. Celebrate 10% goals, 1/2 way goals, or for one individul it may be a week to celebrate 100 lost. May your victory is that your pants are lose or your face is thinning. What is it for you?

prayerfulmom sw 277/cw230.4/gw164 -1.6 this week.

My celebrations are that I'm so close to the 50# mark. Hope to see it in 2 weeks. I got a comment this week that I look thinner. I felt different in my underpants this week (i'm a true pear shape). I made big progress this week with simply eating my last meal about 4-4 1/2 hours before bed.

    Hi, I am new. I need a little motivation. Hubby is coming home from deployment soon and I want to lose some more weight before he gets home.

    Welcome. This is a great bunch. Thanks to your hubby and the sacrafice of your family to serve and protect our country.

    crazeebee- the answer to your question is chemicals=). Look forward to your results.

    HM-way to go on the elipticle. I burned out on it a while back and never really got back on it.

    IG- on the salt....envy envy. I'm salt restricted. Basicaly anything processed will get you that salt. Even cereal.

    CB- you are truely an inspiration and so positive. We need more of you in the world=)

    Lulu-you rock!

    april- remember that non scale victory today even if that scale doesn't budge; your feeling it in your britches.

    paw-to piggy back on what cyndee said: these trials are so hard while going through them. But, when we look back we see the growth in ourselves and those are the things to make us strong adults and build our character. Those trails end up turning into triumphs in their own way.

    a4- congrats on the loose pants. that is a huge victory!

    I'm headed out of town this afternoon for a ladies conference. Hope to hear great results from ya'll before I leave. Celebrate those victories scale or nonscale!!!!

    Congrats losers so far! And good work! Well a week on maintenance now and every day (I know, I shouldn't weigh every day but I want to be sure that I"m not gaining!) I fluctuate 2 - 2.5 pounds, but stay within that range, so whoo-hoo, that's just water weight, I know. I wasn't sure I wouldn't gain weight on maintenance!! Figured my body would go right back up! But I"m not, so I'm relieved that my body can stay the same. And I feel like I"m eating tons, which is good, because I"m not always hitting my calories allotted...Now just 3 more weeks of maintenance and then I can switch to losing again!

    Way to go CrazyBee on the loss.

    Welcome new comers...

    Keep up the good work...

    I got some cardio in last night to help clear my head... kinda helped. Thankyou to all you guys for your support. It means a lot.

    Keep the good work Lorann, your almost there to that 30 pound mark...don't give up now...

    Wow! Everybody who posted so far...congratulations!
    adopt4...Maintaining is good, and especially when you don't accidentally go up!
    Debbie...You should be doing a celebration dance! That's an amazing loss.

    I haven't yet been on the scales.
    Woke up at 3:30 a.m. because of a vivid nightmare. Rarely get them. In fact, I can't recall the last time I had one. But it disturbed me so much that I stayed up for a few hours. Went back to bed at 5:30, and slept until 10:30.
    Bad sleep gone...

    Anyway, the weather here is incredible. Hot day, but a gentle, cooling breeze. I'm going to think of someplace to walk to...

    Back shortly with my "progress."
    (Sounds optimistic, eh?)

    Good Morning teamies, and welcome newcomers! you're going to LOVE this group, I sure do! Everyone is so inspiring, and I really need that to keep me motivated.

    I walked almost all of yesterday WITHOUT MY CANE!!! :drinker: I'm so excited about this, I can't even describe. I'm so ready to be able to get back to my 'routine'. I also started a new online course, much like the one Lulu's doing, for Medical Transcription. It's a grea ttime for me now, because Tony's so busy for the next month playing music. I've barely seen him this week! He works a full time job, plus this past Wednesday he played a festival in Owensboro, KY(didn't get home until midnight!) and went to work at 5 the next day. Last night started the new variety show in the same studio as Hee Haw was filmed, and it's called Pickin' and Grinnin' with Mike Snider. Tony's the guitar player for him, so they will film this every Wed-Saturday, and on top of that, they're playing the Grand Ole Opry each of those nights too! Bless his heart, by the time this month trial is over, he's going to be slap wore out!

    So needless to say, I've got ample free time...just me, my computer, my puppy and cat :laugh:

    Other news, my younger sister and her husband have been trying to adopt a child for the past 4 years, to no avail. They had 3 adoptions fall through in a 6 month period, which was pretty rough. However, they've been approved to be foster parents, and this week they got a 3 year old little boy. Mind you, they've never had children, so I think it's been a little different than they were expecting! It's good for them though, and I'm really proud of them. If all goes well, they will potentially be adopting a newborn little girl that is due the beginning of August...please keep your fingers crossed for them!

    Ok, novel over...I have no weight to post, as I haven't been on a scale since my surgery. I can say that my pants fit a little looser, so that's a good sign!

    Prayerful- Thank you for starting the thread!! I had to go grocery shopping last night and it completely slipped my mind, even tho I said earlier that I would. It wasnt until this morning when I stepped on the scale that I was like "DOH!!! I forgot to start it......again" :laugh: Anyway... Nice job & congrats!!!!

    So I just weighed myself... and I'm having some issues... we have two scales... I've been sticking with one since I started but before I started I weighed myself on the other one and it was almost the same as the one that I've been using... well I thought for giggles I'd get on the other one today and according to that one I've lost ten pounds... Mine I've only lost 4... I'm so lost... my bra doesn't fit well in the cup any more and my arm fat doesn't jiggle as much lol... but my tummy and legs are still the same... I know that boobs are usually the first to go but If I lost that much weight where did it come off from is my question???? My boobs didn't shrink that much lol.

    Thanks everyone. Like I said it is water weight but I am happy.

    li4g bet you gained from the extra excercise, mostly muscle weight. You got that bike out and took kids to the park. You've been busy. I promise Ididn't send any your way. Could it be close to that time??? That will do it too.

    Congrats to all who lost and maintained. I am happy for all of you. Thanks for all the encouragement this week.

    Got to go back to work, I am only home for lunch hour. Have a good day all.

    No, not close to that time. Im pretty sure its water weight. Ive been sucking it down and not peein as much which is wierd....so Im gonna suck down some green tea. Adopt4 and I both have discovered the green tea is the shiz. Ive been really good this week except for that moster teriyaki burger on Wednesday but it was our 7th wedding anniversary so Im not beating myself up over it and even tho I sucked down alot of water yesterday and have been really good all week with my water....It just doesnt seem like much is coming out in the end and it hasnt been Hot here, so....anyway.. Im over it. I had a big salad for lunch. I have so much lettuce in my garden right now and its the really good crunchy kind that makes great salads so Im diggin that!! My broccoli also has enough on it again to pick some for dinner so Im gonna do that for later tonight, just gotta find something to go with it.

    Pawprint- Maybe try weighing on a few different scales at the store and see if you get the same results?? Or if you have a gym membership, try there. I had to switch scales 1/2 way through because my original one was a piece of crap :laugh: I weighed in on all the scales at the store and found they were all pretty much said the same thing so I bought a new one and went from there. If your other scale matches more with what a majority of them say.. then go with that and stick to one you know works good.

    My personal victory this week is getting rid of those clothes that are falling off without being unbuttoned AND finding a size Medium shirt that belongs to my youngest and trying it on. :laugh: Its tight, but at least I can get my arms, shoulders and head in and not need assistance taking it off.. LOL!!!

    So LI4G how did your daughter like her room? :laugh:

    She actually wont be home until later this evening. She's leaving her dads around 6ish to go hang out with some friends and go Ice Blocking (sledding down a grassy hill on an Ice block..lol) I tell ya... the things these kids do to keep themselves entertained.. LOL! Wierdo's! Her friend is supposed to bring her home so Im hoping that she comes in and gets to see shelbys room also. Would be really great for the embarassment factor!! :laugh: :laugh: I'll let ya know what happens after she gets here.

    Where has the day gone? Spent all day in the garage doing a garage sale, will do it again tomorrow. Made a little bit of money - clothes shopping for me! Hurray! Went to log my food and can't for the life of me remember what I had for breakfast. Did I even eat breakfast? I'm not sure. Oh wait, I just remembered... good. Not bad at all. I was worried! Didn't eat dinner, although I fed the kids chicken, orzo with alfredo sauce, and corn with lots 'o butter. They like it, they need it, I don't need it. I had a bite of chicken but it just didn't hit the spot. For some strange reason when I make chicken, I can't eat it, I'm afraid it's not cooked enough (did that once, yuck!). Even though I checked and it's all fine, maybe a bit overdone, but still, I can't bring myself to eat my own chicken! Sheesh!

    Hubby is asleep, got home from work about 3 pm (was at work by midnight last night) and he went to bed and I probably won't see him until morning, if then. Makes for a long day when I have the boys all to myself... just threw the two oldest outside so they can work off some of that boy energy before bedtime. Camp starts on Monday! Whoo-hoo! My first son (I call him that because he's not necessarily the oldest, but he was the first one we adopted, and we haven't determined when we're going to make the new boys' birthdays or if we're going to change them at all, since they were given by an orphanage director who looked at a picture and decided how old they are, not based in reality!) is having problems without having his normal routine of school, so although he's normally the easiest one to deal with, he has become the hardest. He's a special needs kid and he NEEDS his routine! So hopefully camp will do that, help him get into a routine again much like school.

    LI4G - I gained 4 last week - weird, cuz I was within cals and exercised regularly, so go figure. I'm with you though, don't sweat it - all part of the journey. Can't wait to hear your daughter's reaction to her room:bigsmile:

    KT - Welcome!!! And what a motivator to lose weight - hubby coming home from deployment!!!! Terrific!!!

    Cyndeebee~ sorry for the bad dreams! I hate nightmares!

    Sheila ~ Stay cool, wear your sunscreen! The heat is a killer - I don't know how you can stand it without air conditioning:noway: I'd have to just sit in my car all day with the air on:laugh:

    Dwray - Hip Hip Hoorayyyyyy! No cane! Don't overdo though - take care of yourself. Is your bug all better?

    Anita - I'm happy for you that you DH is staying home :bigsmile: - I know that was really distressing you.

    Okay, my celebration is this: I have been shopping for a dress to wear to my cousin's wedding - I gathered a bunch of cute size 18 dresses, went to the dressing room and they were ALL too big!!! Had to go back for size 16, and THEN had to go gather some 14s cuz some of the 16s were too big:bigsmile: :happy: :smile: I'm a happy girl!!!!

    Cyndeebee - good job on the pound. WTG

    Well after my walk last weekend I saw my weight shoot up to 188 pounds. I knew it was because of sodium so with the heat and humidity at work and drinking water all the time it helped to wash all that out of my body. My goal this week is to get back on the ball with the logging of the food. I always log the exercise but have really slacked on the food.Congratulations to everyone - losers, maintainers and gainers. Gainerscause you know where it went wrong and ready to shed that weight too. Be back in a few to tell you what I did today and I DID NOT DIE. phone ringing

    That fell sort of flat! I would like to be able to say that its that random 5 lbs one way or the other gig, but no, I fear this is mine to own. After the weigh in from the Biggest Loser Contest at work, I had a sort of perfect storm of events that I used to give myself permission to indulge. Better to own it and get on with the course corrections. So, here is the skinny: Monday, weigh in YAY! Tuesday, audit at work, little time to prepare, a fair amount of nervous eating. Tuesday evening and night, spur of the moment trip out of town - really tired at the wheel, so I got a Dr. Pepper to stay awake. And of course, you can't have Dr. Pepper without chips....... Then, Wednesday, had a luncheon meeting, so ate in a restaurant. Finished chips and Dr. Pepper. Thursday - client problems - kind of serious ones. Didn't get to eat all day, drank little water, slept poorly all week. And, finally, ate way too late. Friday, Recovery Day - spent all day in the park - eating the wrong stuff, again drinking little water, etc..... Perfect storm = 3 lbs gained. So, no excuses, just re-commitment. Prayerfulmom, (and all you all) thanks so much for your support - it will have to be next week (or the week after if the 3 lbs doesn't come right off) But, breaking the 100 pound barrier is gonna happen, and soon!

    Thanks, team! :happy:

    indianagranny sw216.2/gw160/cw181 -1.2 pounds lost
    lulubar-SW205/GW145/CW189=2 lbs lost
    stillkristi - SW 461 / GW 195 / CW 385 3 LBS gained (sheesh!)

    Sorry, I was so long finishing that post, due to interruptions, I missed lulu and Lisa. So, here is the corrected list. Oh, and by the way - I did not change my ticker down, cuz I am anticipating it will only be a week long glitch, which as we have established, is not long enough - sort of like the ten second on the floor rule..... :laugh:

    By the way, Lulu, and Cyndi, the new pics are MARVELOUS!!!!!
  • Lulu - Congratulation on the loss.

    Kristi - hey girl I like the attitude Own it and correct. You have done soooooooooo good. This too will go and you will fly past the 100 pound mark. Keep up the good work.

    Team I found out today I CAN WOG !!!!!!!!!!! After all the talk about LI4G flat stomach, I kept saying No I still can't do this I can't. So this morning about 4:30 am, I decided in the 74 degree heat to go for a power walk. Well I thought I will try it for just a few seconds, so I started jogging. Wow I didn't pass out have a heart attack or die. I did it in small spurts all throughout my 3 mile walk and enjoyed it tremendously. Hope to do it again in morning. This is a large victory for me as I said I will never jog. Now I just want my four grandkids close so I can jog with them. Thanks for celebrating with me. OH OH I also cut ten minutes off my 3 mile walk time.

    IG ~ That is soooooo awesome! I'm so proud of you for attempting the wog and SO VERY excited for you that you found your body really is fit enough to do it! That's fantastic:drinker: :flowerforyou: :heart:

    Kristi ~ You know, life sometimes gets in the way:ohwell: The great news is that we are in the place in this journey where we recognize the behavior, get it in check, and move on. Is your audit over?? I hope so, it's time for you to have some normalcy at work.... wait, :blushing: , normal being relative here!

    Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!:heart:

    Kristi- We all have our moments. Way to own yours and recognize the issue. :) Im with ya girl on not changing the ticker. I aint letting this 4lb problem own me... Monday it should be gone!! Thumbs up to you!!

    Indiana!! WAHOOOOOO!!! Another wogger addict for the team!!! Im so proud of you!! Congrats on pushing past the "I cant do it" and saying to yourself "Im going to TRY", sometimes that is all we need to do to really be sucessful. GO YOU!!!

    OK... so, I went and picked up my younger 2. My oldest went out with a friend tonight and just a couple minutes ago I was sitting on the porch talking to the other 2 when Travis said something about his bedroom. Anyway.. I asked him if he had seen Shelby's and he said "Why?? What did you do? Did you pay her back and TP it??" :bigsmile: :bigsmile: My children are so naive :devil: I said.. "yep" and he said.."So you KNOW it was her?? How did you know??" and I said.."how could I not know?" (being careful to not give it away that I wasnt 100% sure but had suspicion) He says back "Yeah, when she told me that she sat and watched her friends do the front porch but that she did the van and the car, I was pretty surprised"

    SEE!! Do i know my kids or WHAT???

    So... I was like "hahahaha, she is sooooooooooooo dead!!!" and they said "DONT TELL HER WE TOLD YOU!! DONT TELL HER!!! SHE WILL KILL US!!" and I said..."dont worry, she's gonna own this all on her own!"

    I called her on her cell and said "You need to come home and cancel any plans you have for the remainder of the week other than working at grandma's farm" and she was like "Why?" and I said "I dont need to give you a reason, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE REASON, see you in a little while"

    If I didnt already make her pee her pants, when she see's her room... she definitely will!!

    :devil:
  • li4g - you are evil, I love it :devil:

    Kristi - I too tend to "celebrate" or "indulge when I'm stressed". Glad your still with us.

    IG - Way to go, fellow wogger! I still push myself over the "I can't" part of my walk.

    No exercise for me tonight - hubby working evenings again today and tomorrow. :grumble: Only did 3 workouts this week. That's why the scale didn't move. :ohwell:

    healthymom - SW208/GW150/CW178 - 0 lbs this week
  • LI4G, Healthlymom and Lulu - thank you for your praises on my wogging. It tickles me still and Lulu you said it best when you said I realized my body was fit enough to do this.

    I got the three mile wog in again this morning with it being three degrees cooler. I also took 2 more minutes off my time. Gonna try it again late tonight maybe. Still just jogging in spurts - not timing anything. Maybe will start timing in a week or too. Gotta to map out a better place to do it right now.

    Have a good week end everyone
  • Hey team...Sorry got to busy yesterday. Here are my results:

    SW (245) GW (150) CW (234) that is a 1 lb loss this week...

    I am ok with it because like I mentioned before my old capris are almost fitting...I have a feeling I am consuming to much sodium. Take care everyone....Have a great weekend.
