RED TEAM WEEK 9!

MelL1205

burned over 750 calories at the gym this morning on the elliptical (for a looong time) because I was ticked off at the obnoxious chicks pointing out girls in the commercials on tv saying how they must weigh close to 300 pounds when they looked fit as a fiddle to me (I'd say 150lbs, tops). so it made me angry so I stayed on the elliptical since all the bikes/treadmills were taken - I guess everyone works out on the 4th of july. haha.

so I can't go over my cals now... well, I can... but it's going to be much easier not to.



Happy 4th, everyone!

I'm really bummed out. It's been 11 days since my mother-in-law passed away and I know I haven't been healthy with my eating and exercise, but today when I weigh myself, I'm back to 148 lbs!!!!
I gained 4 pounds in 11 days! It took me so long to get to 144 lbs and I gained it back so quickly....I'm feeling discourage, tired, and moody. I yelled at my kids this morning and I know they feel the tension.

Yessie, I gained 2 pounds eating well and exercising. I don't know what to say besides life is cruel...

Hmm I wish I had something useful to say to help you, but I'm in a rather glum mood myself and probably cannot be of much help.

I do wish you and your family some peace though.

dont beat yourself up so much. with all thats going on, thos four pounds could be a lot of things. maybe you are holding water...? you are doing great. dont worry about the scale right now!

Hi everyone!!
I hope that you all had a safe and healthy 4th!! I apologize for not being around this week. I had so much homework and a final. Now things are starting to slow down again!
I am glad to hear that the scale is moving for some of you! That is awesome, keep up the good work!

Yessie- I am very sorry to hear about you MIL. I cannot imagine what you and your husband are going through. My thoughts are with you in this hard time, but do not beat yourself up about gaining a little weight. I know that if I were in your situation, I would gain weight as well. When you are ready, you will be able to start losing again.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Mel- Those girls at the gym are lame. I am glad that you were able to channel that anger into calorie loss!! :bigsmile: Your doing great!

Wow, I cannot believe that we are weighing in a gain tomorrow!! Where is the time going :noway: Well, I will talk to you all tomorrow. Have a great rest of the weekend!!

GO RED TEAM!!!!

I must admit that I am absolutely terrified to weigh-in tomorrow morning! I have been good ALL week (I think I went over 1 day... and it wasn't by a lot). I exercised 4 days, which seems to be my average (usually 45-50 minutes each time). And I'm feeling pretty good. But the scale has been known to disappoint me. :ohwell: It hasn't really budged in several months (a pound here, a pound there... up and down), but I'm really hoping this week will be the week. I just don't want to be disappointed after I feel like I did so well this week! So I'm scared! :frown:

But, on a happy note, I haven't measured myself in about a month, and I lost 1/2 inch off my thighs and 1/2 inch of my waist. Which puts me back where I was at the end of April (I had added on 1/2 inch both places... even though I hadn't gained anything... odd).

Well, best of luck to you all tomorrow morning... I'll probably start a new thread when I wake up if I come online early. Maybe Monique will be back from vacation.

Mack - glad to hear things are settling down.

Yessie - I hope you are doing well. You are in my thoughts. :flowerforyou:

Everyone else - I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and I look foward to hearing about everyone's progress tomorrow! :bigsmile: Hopefully we get a better showing than this past Monday...
