I agree so happy it is Friday!

I got up to do my morning walk and it was raining So I went downstairs and jumped on the Elliptical Machine. I got 4 miles in 30 minutes and burned 408 calories. :noway: I had forgot how great a workout the ellipse can be. I love it!

Hope everyone has a great Friday and a super weekend.

Great new photo Magglet. I thought I was on the wrong thread at first and then realized you had updated your photo.

I agree so happy it is Friday!

I got up to do my morning walk and it was raining Could you send some of that down to Texas? We haven't had rain all summer, everything is so brown and ugly. Would love some rain!

memaw66

I weighted this morning and I'm only 2lbs away from being back to pre-cruise weight!!
It is in deed a happy Friday. Maybe next week on our official weigh in day I will be below pre-cruise weight!!! Happy Friday everyone!! Love you guys!!

Hello Gals! :flowerforyou:

Everyone seems to be doing great! Let's keep up the momentum into the weekend! :devil:

Going for a run in a little while, and 4 miles is usually my limit, but I'm really going to try to push for a little longer today. We'll see how it goes!

We went most of the summer with little or no rain so I'm not complaining about the rain. I do not like the temp. We are supposed to me in the 80's and we did not even make 70 yesterday and are not supposed to do it again today. I am actually letting the daycare kids watch a movie (something we rarely do) because we are stir crazy being stuck inside.

Maybe it will rain Texas soon.

It has been so hard to eat healthy this week...people keep taking me out to celebrate my birthday. Tonight we are having family dinner and cake. Happy 22nd Birthday to me. I am trying so hard to be strong. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

It is 2:30 and I have already gone over on my calories!! :grumble:

I knew better then to go Subway...I can't resist the chocolate chip cookies!

Chocolate chips, yummmmm.

Do you have time to go and exercise today?

Unfortunately I haven't had time to exercise at all. I have been trying to focus on my eatting which I have been doing really good except today. I even lost over 2 lbs this past week. I guess I just get back on the wagon tomorrow.

I wish that I could get up first thing in the morning and exercise like I used to. But until I get my thyroid under control I don't seem to roll out of bed until 8 AM at the earliest. I am going to see a new doctor on Friday so I hope he can fix me...he specializes in thyroid, metabolism, and weight loss...he seems like he is the cure for everything I have wrong. :laugh:

Good luck at the doctors appointment today. Let us know what he said. :bigsmile:

Hi All,

Woohoo! Congrats to all those who are working hard on their goals. As long as your are being honest with yourself, trying hard, and making adjustments when needed then it doesn't matter if you lost, maintained or gained a little. It will come off in the long run and fluctuations and plateaus are natural. It is your body's way of adjusting to changes it is going through.

I am very excited today. It's my birthday and I had a mini goal of being 235 by today and I weighed in today at 230.8.

My next mini goal is to be 225 by September 14 and I feel confident that I will meet and beat that!

Well, take care all and be good to yourselves and your bodies.

Tammy

Tammy Happy Birthday:flowerforyou:

To all the Newbies Welcome:flowerforyou: You can DO IT!!!

What is everyone doing today for EXERCISE?

I am on wk.2 day 3 of C25K!!

Hello Hello!

How is C25K going for you? I started week 4 day 1 today. I was nervous about starting it, so I did 2 extra days of week 3. But, as it turns out, it went very well (maybe the extra 2 days helped). I find it so hard to believe that in week 1 I thought I was going to pass out before I made it to the 1 min mark and this morning I ran 5 straight mins and was barely even sweating :bigsmile: Keep up the great work! :happy: I almost find accomplishing this to be more exciting than losing weight b/c my body feels so different and when I am running is when I notice how much it has truely changed!

Have a great day everyone! :flowerforyou:

P.S. Does anyone else find it hard to believe we are already on week 6? :noway: Wow, does time fly!

I know I am a little behind, but I just started Couch 5K. Is this kind of the same as C25K? Tonite will be my second day of it. I am really excited to say at the end that I am a runner. It is exhilerating. :bigsmile:

Gonna do my old standby Sweatin to the Oldies. I just love Richard Simmons. I have so many other DVD's but I always go back to him. I have 30 day shred, Jillian Michaels for beginners, Paula Abdule, Walk Away the Pounds and many more, but I stick to Richard.

Am I crazy????

Memaw

YES!!! As long as you like it that is all that matters. Keep up the great work. :bigsmile:

Happy Birthday to you!!! Just remember eat in moderation. You can do it. Once you get into the routine of smaller portions, your body will get use to it. Hang in there you can do it. Have a great weekend. :bigsmile:

I went to the doctor and he said that I need to go get more blood work done and go back in 2 weeks. He thinks we need to change the medication that I am on and that I might be insulin resistant. We will find out in 2 weeks. :happy:

I went to the doc yesterday for a followup and normally I do not look at the scale when they weigh me. I did not look, but the nurse left the paper out and I saw it. I know that the docs scale is always higher than mine. So I do think I am going to weigh in tomorrow. If there scale is right and up compared to mine, I have lost a few pounds. We will have to see. I will post tomorrow after I weigh.
Yesterday's workouts were Plyometrics and Yoga. They were both great workouts. Tonite I will be doing Core Synergistics and Couch to 5K. I am looking forward to burning some grisle. :bigsmile:

Just checking in (sorry it is late). On wednesday in was at 199 for a week of zero loss.

magglett

I'm feeling fat and puffed out today ... do you ever get days when you feel like that? The scale doesn't show any gain or anything ... I guess Its in my mind.

Not in your mind......unless it is in mine too. There are days I feel so bloated I could explde. I feel like my jeans are going to pop the button and hit someone across the room, and then the next day that feeling is gone. Not sure what causes it but sure am glad when it goes away.:drinker:

ME TOO!!

I hope everybody has a good weekend. Don't blow those calories if you can help it!!!!1:happy:

I have to share something ... well I guess you could say I have to brag ... I'm so excited. When I first started this journey I measured myself and I haven't done it again ... until tonight. I knew there would be a change but WOW!!!!! I've lost 5.5" off my bust (which makes my hubby pout), 4.5" off my waist, 2.5" off my hips, and before I joined MFP I had a panniculectomy which left me will this spare tire type thing above my hips so I call this my "scared area" ... well there's also 6" gone from that area too. Holy Moly man ... no wonder people are stopping me to ask what I've been doing. There really is a big difference eh? Thank you thank you thank you to everyone involved with MFP. You're the best!!!

Maggie,
That is absolutely amazing! Good for you. Those are some big numbers. I like to see peoples inches lost, it's impressive.

Keep it up.

kdm9295

This has not been a good weight loss week for me. Pretty frustrating actually. My allergies have gone nuts and I've been on allergy medicine all week, makes not very motivated to work out. I gained back a couple pounds, so I'll be kicking it up next week.
At least this weekend is going to be very busy, and very active. Tomorrow we're going to the local water park, which is always good for miles and miles of walking up and down hills.

Hope you all have a good weekend!
