We are really dropping in numbers aren't we?!?

Alapoint--21 lbs down. Awesome!

Today is my daughter's first day of first grade. It is exciting and sad. I am going to miss having her home with me all day. :brokenheart: I don't know how I got so old! :noway: We met her teacher yesterday. So that helped a bit. I think I will have to keep myself busy today. The bonus is I walk her to school, so I will be getting a little more exercise everyday. :laugh:

hmo4: Great job not emotionally eating! That is the hardest thing for me. Interestingly enough as long as I am eating healthy I don't have the cravings, and it sounds as though that is what is happening for you. Awesome! Take one day at a time and things will get better soon. Remember to count your blessings. You are pretty lucky to be where you are.

Have a great day. I am going to go get in some exercise before waking a girl for school.

:flowerforyou:

chrissyh

Kath-you are going thru some tough stuff right now. I am very proud of you when you overcome those urges....you are strong and an inspiration to us all!!

debnu-I remember I cried when my kids went to kindergarten....here, it's the first year of elementary at the "big school" when I was a kid, it was at a pre-school trype place. Now should I cry since my daughter is a senior....my son is in 8th...his first football game is this evening - I hope he has fun....he got creamed in practice the other day by the biggest kid and has a huge bruise under his chin, on his knees, elbow was cut, bruised on both shoulders - he's pretty banged up but went back again yesterday - i was very proud of him to not give up after one tough day - something we can learn from - huh? Just because we have 1 bad day - brush off, in his case take some advil, and move forward!

alapointe

Great job everyone.

Kath- hang in there, you are doing awesome on the clean eating hang in there, before you know it these hurtles will be gone.

I have the morning sickness to thank for the weight loss this week. I can no longer excercise and have to rest all the time. I can get up and move around but this is about it. I am going nuts lying on the couch all night long, but I will do anything i have to for this baby. I am just hoping and praying that everything works out in the end.

I am actually hoping the weight loss stops soon, as i am getting a little worried that i am loosing so much weight so early. I lost 15 pounds in the first trimester of my last pregnancy, but I am already down 10 pounds this preganancy and it has only been 6 weeks.

Good luck everyone-here is to a great week.

chrissyh

I think I lost 11 pounds in first 12 weeks with my pregnancies-if you are concerned, check with your dcotor but I bet it's ok!

debnu1

We just need to get back up dust ourselves off and move forward don't we. Life won't wait for us so we shouldn't wallow on the ground. Change is good, progress is always better.

Thanks for the support, my daughter is excited to go to school so I should be too. I am sure that come the summer I will be getting ready to send her back after she is attacking her brother a few to many times. :laugh:

alapointe--Don't worry too much, if you are concerned always consult your doctor, but as long as you get nutrition I am sure they won't be too worried. I lost about 10 lbs in the last trimester of my son, I had gestational diabetes and amazingly eating less carbs led to a ton of weight loss for me. I was concerned but they said as long as I was eating I was ok. The first few months are definitely the worst, good luck and it will all work out. Soon you will be able to get moving around more, and your body will thank you for working so hard to get healthy before getting pregnant!

chrissyh

with the limited time today I thought I'd do the 30 day shred - did level 3 haven't done it in months - OUCH my thighs are burning my legs are shaking - aaahhhh great workout!

Leigh14

alapointe - I hope things get better for you soon! :flowerforyou: I read what the other ladies said about losing weight while preggers... wow, I had no idea that happened! But, it sounds like everything should be okay with the lil one! :flowerforyou: Take care!

chrissy - your poor son! Aww. :flowerforyou: And, you said you did the 30-day shred... I did that the other day and couldn't make it through! It was hard, but I think I got bored more than anything. I've only done level one... maybe I should try level 2. And, i know you've done the C25K program... I was thinking of starting it. I printed it out. Last night after 30 min. on the elliptical, I got on the treadmill and alternated running 30 sec. with walking 60 sec. It was difficult, but not nearly as much as it was 20 pounds ago! I have committed to a 5K on Thanksgiving Day with a friend. :bigsmile:

alapointe

Thanks for the support everyone. I have talked to my doctor and he did say it is okay for now since i am still overweight, as long as i am eating and keeping down some food, but if it gets too severe he is going to put me on anti nausaua medicine. He doesn't want to do that right now, because of the threat of miscarriage, but he also wants to make sure i am eating enough as well. The good thing is i take in my food log to my appts.

I need all the help i can get in that area.

hmo4

Hang in there, Pregz-you'll be ok:smooched: . Just cool it on the fitness-besides walks and stretches, maybe low impact stuff. I barfed and had nausia for all my pregnancies. I know how aweful it feels.Lotsa plain soda crackers....I did go on Diclectin for my last one, for 7 mos, it was a God send. Take it easy, we'll always be here for you to lose weight, your baby comes first.

Leigh14

So... I'm hungry. Like, really hungry. My belly feels all empty and I can tell it's going to start rumbling. I just got done working out... 35 min. on the elliptical with 15 min. doing speed intervals, then 30 minutes on the weight machines. I was hungry before I started. But, I've already eaten all but 160 of my calories, including those I got from working out (504). :ohwell: In fact, I've eaten a pretty good amount today. And drank tons of water. I don't want to eat because I'm trying to lose that one pound to get to 40 this Saturday and I'm afraid it will throw me off. I'm not even craving bad foods... right now I'd much rather have a cup of broccoli or some brown rice or a nice lean-cut steak than a pizza or doughnut or a Big Mac. :frown: I've been getting this way (not this bad) for the past couple of weeks, so I upped my calories from 1300 to 1550 and slowed my weight loss from 2 pounds per week to 1.5 pounds per week to allow for a little extra calorie intake. I'm just aggravated and needed to vent. :explode: I'm hungry. :indifferent:

edit: double post. Oopsie. :embarassed:

Hey team!!

What a bad weigh in I had this week!! 4lbs gained!! YIKES!! The good thing is that on Monday it was saying 8lbs gained so I'll take the 4lbs!! I had a really bad TOM - cramps, cravings & no energy!! A really bad combination!! I'm down another lb today, so at least it's going in the right direction! Hopefully I'll show a good number next week!

So, I was sooo sick today!! My DR prescribed me naproxin for my tendonitis & it hit me really bad, had me running to the bathroom! Has anyone else ever heard of problems with it?? I don't think I'll be taking anymore because it took me about 8 hours to get back to feeling better.

Have a great night!

hmo4

Sani, I'm sure it's just fluid. 7 days after TOM is your lightest day of the month.

I have to deal with my 17 yr old soon-he'll be home finally, STRESS :explode: ,and I have all the travelling in Sept. that will be a very hard temptation. Thanks for all your support guys, you truly are special friends

sorry my weigh in was not on there. We have been crazy busy with siding our house and trying to get a new roof on it before winter sets in. And it was TOM week this week so I will wait till this week to weigh in.

hmo4

Now weigh yourself 7 days after the 1st day, in am,etc. That's when you're apparently at your lightest.:bigsmile: Taking my daughter to Ontaio to live for Hockey School tomorrow.:sad: :happy: Mixed emotions of course for her, but I'll see her in Nov. if not sooner at hockey tournaments..So, I'll chat to you guys from there!

my son is in 8th...his first football game is this evening - I hope he has fun....he got creamed in practice the other day by the biggest kid and has a huge bruise under his chin, on his knees, elbow was cut, bruised on both shoulders - he's pretty banged up but went back again yesterday - i was very proud of him to not give up after one tough day - something we can learn from - huh? Just because we have 1 bad day - brush off, in his case take some advil, and move forward!

Chrissy, I used to play alot of hockey, and did my fair share of bodychecking. I was also one of the fastest guys on the ice, . Big mass, fast strong legs. Look out. Hence where thumper came from.

Anyways, a point or two to your son. ALWAYS know your surroundings, who's coming at you, who is around you before catching a ball etc. If he see's someone coming at him.
He's got 3 choices.
1. to stand up to the guy and try and hit him at same time. (might get creamed again).
(He has to exert force towards the guy when he is not expecting it.)
2. Wait until the last second, and either duck or move out of the way.
3. Run fast and the opposite way.

If he does #2 and sucks, bends over. I tell yah, the guy trying to hit him again next time will think twice about it.

When does this competition end? 20 weeks?
I'd like to join, but if it ends in a few weeks I might as well not...
That is, if I'm allowed to join.

Join in! We love new people. Once this ends, we restart when Biggest Loser starts-Sept.14 I think. Think of it as a warm up. There has been a ton of success with this group, and we are a very close supportive group with great people! :drinker:
So, I'm in Cornwall, Ontario with my oldest girl and hubby, who has been a little ornery for my liking, (Sheridan that is, not Cliff), but we' have had an extremely long day. No one slept last night, I got up at 5:00, we flew different flights-I exchanged in Toronto, and didn't get any sleep cause the screaming kids on the plane. I'm so past that, I just wanted to give the kid my banana or something to keep him busy-some parents just don't get kids. When I flew, with a 3 yr old and 7 mos old, I kept them both busy, with special little surprises, like new cars or whatever from my diaper bag. We played I spy, and the baby slept. Some people get volotile on these flights. So with that and the 40 yr old who kept kicking my seat I could hardly wait to get here. I did pretty well with eating. I'm over cause the only exercise was walking A LOT today. I had Sizzling Fjitas at Kelsey's-seems like a lot of cals I think, but I thought it was a healthier choice:huh: :grumble: Anyway, I think I did ok. Need more water, but bought a bunch for my room. Tomorrow's a new day, and went into NY State to a Walmart and got Greek Yogurt! Will keep my food in check, and plug along. Hopefully can exercise tomorrow eve. Take care guys. Have a good weekend. PS I weighed myself this am out of curiosity and was up a pound! WTH?:noway: :huh: Later... Kath

chrissy - I started C25K on Friday. I made it through, but I had pain on the sides of my legs, below the knee. Did you have that? What the heck is it and how do I make it stop? lol, it only happens when I'm jogging. I walk on the treadmill at 3.0 then jog at 4.0.
