RED TEAM WEEK 9!

MelL1205

I think Monique might have started vacation, so I started a week 9 thread...

Today was weigh-in day.


I mentioned on the week 8 thread that I am weighing in tomorrow... I think a couple others are too.
So tomorrow is fine. I should have the list ready by tomorrow afternoon if people weigh-in today or tomorrow morning.

Week went pretty good for me. Todays weight in was 244.:flowerforyou:

Bunnies_Revenge

I weighed myself, I'm still 249. Which isn't bad or good, but do able.

Learning2LoveMe

Weighed in today at 206... 1 down from last week. I'll take it! hehe
Not bad considering we were running out of food in the house so I was reduced to some crap thats not that good for you :laugh: and my knees limiting my exercise.

The bf talked his grandpa into squeezing me into their family doc (i have no insurance >.<) so I'll know if its minor like a sprain, or if I tore something, twisted, need another surgery, etc. And I'll ask when I can continue my walks. I hate having bad knees... and I hate when they act up like this too! Oh well.

Hope everyone did well last week. Here's to a new week! :drinker:

I just weighed and I am shocked.... 265.
That's 7 pounds down, and I've only exercised one day, and went over cals a few days..! of course today is day 4 of TOM so I guess I'm losing some of the water weight, etc. and since I've been on TOM, I have had to literally force myself to eat anything because I've felt so sick. but I am amazed. Now I feel like this week I need to work for it...lol.

Hope y'all have a great day today!

And the verdict is . . . . 180.0. Surprise, suprise....:grumble:
It's TOM for me as well, but I just started so I'm hoping some of this is because of that...??
I know that I messed up 2 or 3 days this past week eating wise and that I couldn't exercise all that much because I was really weak for who knows what reason. But in the grand scheme of things, I didn't think I did too badly.
I worked out yesterday and stayed under my cals (+workout cals) by about 150.
I'm aiming for the same today. One day at a time...
Next week, I better see a lower number on that stupid scale.

Not enough people have weigh-in so I'm not going to bother posting the spreadsheet yet.


Jess, wow. That's fantastic!

Liz, 1 pound is great. Awesome job. I hope your knees are better soon! :flowerforyou:

Jenn, maintaining is good.

Andrea, great job to you too!

Yay! Everyone is doing well...[except me].

I had a tragic week. My mother -in-law was killed in a car accident last Tuesday and we just got back on Sunday. Our family is devastated and I ca't stop crying
I gained 1.5 pounds from eating anything available when it was available, plus I didn't exercise and I know I shoud've gone for walks, since they live in the country and the fresh air would have been good.

I'm having a hard time accepting that life goes on as usual...

CW: 145.5 lbs.

MelL1205

Yessie, I am so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law.

But I can certainly empathize with having a hard time accepting that life just keeps going... and I also understand about eating anything whenever... I wish I had advice for you on that, but I have not made much progress there either.
I've seen my share of loss and struggle, so if you ever need to talk/vent/anything, you can just PM me, I'll always listen. That goes for anyone, by the way.

Don't fret too much about the 1.5 pounds... it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. And, when you are ready, you'll be back and continuing to make fantastic progress.

Hang in there.

yessie75

Thanks Mel for your kind words. Anything makes me cry now days...
In a way I'm comforted that it happened during summer vacation (I'm a teacher), I just don't know how could have function if I had to go back to school after a week. At least since I'm home, I can cry and grieve without restrain or distraction. My husband is very strong and cried only twice in front of me. He comes from a family of 12, and was chose to give his mother's eulogy - it was beautiful! But he had to go back to work yesterday, so in a way I'm crying for both of us :brokenheart:

On a better note, I got up this morning and walked for 1/2 an hour.

kvcarden

I'm same as last week 189 :grumble: :sad: not sure what happpened but I'll be in New Orleans (leaving tomorrow) for a week and luckily my hotel has a 24 hour gym so hopefully a lower number to report next week (if I can stay away from the good food)! Yessie, my heart goes out to you and your family & I pray that God covers you and your family as you "go through" this....great job on the 1/2 hour walk :flowerforyou: Ladies keep up the great progress!

So here is a funny...or at least I thought it was funny.
I had my "big" orange tabby cat up at the vet for his routine shots,ect. The vet said that he way overweight and needs too loose weight. He is on a "special" diet cat food. Too funny! I never thought that my cat would need to go on a diet. :laugh: So I asked how much does he weight and the vet looked at me and said 20 pounds. :noway: Holy cow!! I have lost as much as he weighs. He is heavy...is that what 20 extra pounds feels like? oh my goodness.....
Hope you all have a great rest of the day! :happy:

andrea09

Yessie I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

This was cute and a great laugh :laugh:

So today was not a fantastic day. I ate approx. 100 too many calories, but I'm not going to get upset by that. Tomorrow is a new day, hopefully full of better choices (although exercising was ok - I can now stand the elliptical for 35 minutes... I had been doing 30 recently).

kvcarden

Mel that's great 35 minutes on the elliptical...I can only do 10 minutes so kudos to you :drinker: Hope tomorrow is a "better" day for you (although I'm sure today was not as bad as you think bc you did work out).

MelL1205

Thanks Keyisha.

Well, today I partly feel like a failure because there's no way I'm going to be able to work out. I feel so weak (again, like last week - stupid failing body) and it's day 2 of TOM so I just feel absolutely awful. I just cannot drag myself outisde. And its raining. And foggy. And gross. :ohwell: So, I fail. Oh well.

I just realized I never posted the spreadsheet... ummm... I'll get to it (I promise). There's SO many holes because people are disappearing... probably having fun because its summer.

MelL1205

I condensed it to only include the people we've heard from this week (I think I got everyone).
