mscocoa is our biggest loser today. Andrea came in a close second. Good Job Girls
mscocoa pick our challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
snowflakes, really happy your son is home for the weekend. You will have to tell us about c.e.r.t. sometime.
lildebbie have a nice dinner girl.0 -
Wow...hmmm ok I have no idea what kind of challenge I can pick. I know that water consumption is one of my biggest challenges. Personally, I don't like water and I hardly ever get thirsty. It's really weird. I rarely get in 4 glasses of water per day. Does anyone else have a problem drinking water? I just bought some fresh lemons and was going to make it my goal this week to drink more water by hook or crook. So, can we do some sort of water challenge? Maybe post our water oz per day or something? If anyone has a suggestion for the challenge, please feel free to chime in.
Thanks,

You just joined cousin!!! Welcome to our group!!! Weigh ins are on Fridays and challenges are picked weekly by our biggest loser.Hey, it's me, Teresa.

Welcome newbies
Mrscocoa - I have a horrible time with water..it is funny when I ws pregant i drank soo much of it but when not preggers I have a hard time. I got 16 oz today
Dinner was good...got to figure out the cals now. We want to chik fila so it is pretty easy cause everything has cals. I usally get a grill chicken sandwich and a salad with light dressing....Today i wanted a little treat so I still got grilled chicken sandwich, but did get the friess...they were sooo good...but i didn't eat my girls that they didn't eat so that is an accomplishment I usally would of eaten all of them on the table pluse some...Then i did have one of the ice cream cones(small) not to bad cals like 170 or somethign like that...nice to get a treat though so to not like totally go off the wagon like i did last weekend.
Tomorrow we are now going to a bday party for my friends little boy who turns 7. I haven't seen her in 2 yrs....i can't wait.0 -

I am just like you, I never get any water...thank you for posting this, I am going to try to drink that water with you. Lemons make water easier for me to drink too.0 -
Hi Teresa and Tammy! Welcome to the over 200 club group. We are all in this together.
Also, I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words during my time of grief. Only time will heal, but I am ready to move forward and continue on my positive journey. My positive affirmation for this week is:
I act with confidence having a general plan and accept plans are open to alteration.
This is so true for me. Consider that while we are on this journey, things will not go 100% as planned. We may have our weak moments and fall out of line. When that happens, try not to beat yourself up too bad. Pick yourself up and keep it moving in the right direction.
On another note. I stayed within my calorie limits (only 13 cals left LOL) for today. Other things lacked. I actually ate *drum roll* White Castle. :grumble: What the heck was I thinking? I am going to have to exercise my booty off for this one. I guess this is where that positive affirmation comes in LOL0 -
Welcome to the newcomers!
check in today -
food - 1700 calories (under by 435 with my exercise calories today)

Check in for 11.06.09
Calories: 1,189... not quite enough (but I ate so much!)
Exercise: 525 (30 minute slow walk & 30 minutes on stationary bike)
Proud: Still proud for keeping my cravings in check (TOM & work related stress). Oh, I'm also proud that I bought a 6-pack of my favorite (absolutely jam-packed with calories. I would think 250 for 12oz. or so) beer last Saturday and I still haven't had a single one.0 -
Okay this is kinda silly but I wanted to share. Every time I check my bmi it always lands way beyond the chart into morbidly obese. What and ugly word. I am not the tallest girl, not the shortest either but I am 5"2 (almost, but close enough) Today I decided to check and I am actually just obese now (still an ugly word) I am actually getting close to the center of that range, which means pretty soon I will just be plain and simply over weight. sounds so much better than obese. Just felt good about that.0
-
Momma, that's not silly at all, it's great! I can't wait until I'm just overweight. I don't think I've weighed just 175 pounds (I'm 5'4") since I was about 12. :ohwell: I have a large frame & I'm pretty muscular so the regular bmi chart doesn't work so well for me. My goal weight is 150 which I think will be an extremely healthy weight for me, yet according to the bmi, I will be overweight.
I picked up my treadmill today. I LOVE it. I've decided to start training to start couch25k. I was attempting to do week 1/day 1 tonight but I found out I'm not quite fit enough to even start there yet so I ended up doing a 5 minute warm up at 3.5mph, jogging at 5.5mph for 60 seconds & walking for 90 seconds 3x (which is the couch25k plan for w1/d1 plan to do for 20 minutes) but I couldn't keep it up so I had to switch to jogging for 60 seconds, walking for 120 seconds 2x and then I couldn't keep that up so I just finished up the 20 minutes of training walking 3.5mph and then added a 5 minute cool down at 3mph for a total of 30 minutes (confusing enough? :laugh: ). My hrm says I burned 457 calories so that's pretty rad. Anyway, it was definitely the best workout I've gotten since I started working out 2 months ago. I
my treadmill! I just heard on the news there's a 5k and a half-marathon coming up in my city in February. Maybe I'll register for the 5k -- so what if I'm not able to run it all yet, it'll be something to work toward.
Also, my bf is trying to sabotage me. :laugh: He wanted to order chinese food for dinner tonight... and I didn't put up too much of a fight against it.
But, I ordered off the "lighter fare" menu and was pretty proud of myself for making that choice. I got steamed chicken and veggies with sauce on the side. No oil on the veggies/chicken, no msg, and lower sodium and oil in the sauce. I ate about 1/3 of it. Quite tasty and I don't think I went over my calories for the day (especially since I just burned 450). I'm not doing great with the water challenge today which is unusual for me. I still have several hours left to get it in, though.

my check in today is zippo i was horrible today.
Went to a bday party that was at a place with a buffet...i did have a salad, then some pizza..then a few cookies...then mexican food for dinner followed by ice cream...dlon't know what got into me today
Oh well it is over ...
Momma - what bmi calc you using...every one i find just puts me at obese..but I am sure i am morbidly obese. When I do the on on MFP it is 46.3 :sad: :sad: I know that is horrible...I am a larger frame, and 5'7 (wear size 11 shoe) so I could loose weight still won't be petite...It says my healthy weight is 118 -159...118 come one...that aint' happening. My goal weight is like 150 but haven't been that small in my adult life, the smallest i was about 165-175. Funny it says i am still obese at like 191 but i would love to be obese at 200 right now :sad: :sad: :sad:0 -
Oh i found one...yep I am morbid obese......I need to loose like 45 lbs before I am just obese0
-
Hey everybody. I am posting kind of late as I work on the weekends. Here's my check in:
Calories: 1,586
Exercise: Yes (burned 866)
Water: 40 oz..
Not too bad. I have to drink more water and plan my food choices a little better.
~Jay0 -
Oh i found one...yep I am morbid obese......I need to loose like 45 lbs before I am just obese
I only have 11 pounds to go before I'm just obese! The bmi calc I found tells me my idea weight is 121.
:laugh: I'm pretty sure that would not be a healthy weight for me. I may be eating those words this time next year. I guess we'll see. 0 -
Well guys I have ate excellent today (no overeating at all this weekend and I even went to a birthday party)YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!I am getting my water in I have had 72 fl.ounces today.Exercise not yet but I will get too it.I have a feeling this week is going to be great for us all.!!!0
-
Also I have about 48 pounds to go until I am just over weight according to BMI !!! Thats not too far to go I don';t think.I can do it and I will.Thanks Momma for pointing this out.0
-
I killed my exercise goal this week. 470 minutes so far and I'll probably get another 30 minutes in some time tonight. Since I haven't seen the scale budge in several days (I'm assuming thanks to TOM), I added up my inches lost and I've lost 13 inches from my chest, waist, hips, and thighs in 2 months (today's 2 months exactly). :happy: 4 inches off my hips alone.0
-
I am soo upset...i can't stop crying.
I went to go to dotphoto.com website to lookup some pics and they inactivateed my account and all my pictures of my 6 yr old form when she was born till now are all gone. They said if you don't login after 90 days they delete them. I signed up over 6 years ago i didn't remember that. They are all gone...i can't get them back i am sure of it....
I just had to vent ...sorry :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:0 -
Can I join your club? I have a LOT of weight to lose and need some motivation. It all seems so overwhelming, but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.0
-
zorahope: welcome! Everyone here can relate to this journey being overwhelming. The ladies here are wonderful for encouragement and support and keepin it real. Good luck with your goal. We are accountable every day to check in with the following:
Did I stay within my calorie range today?
Did I exercise today?
Did I drink the recommended 64 oz. of water?
Today I am proud of myself......
We weigh in on Fridays
Then each week we have a challenge to work on. The biggest loser for the week chooses the challenge.
lildebbie: that is awful! Hopefully aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends, will have some to pass your way. So sorry.
calorie range: yes 1,292
exercise: no (I always take Sunday off)
water: yes 64 oz.
proud of: We were invited over to a families to have brownie cake and ice cream with hot fudge. We declined the offer. That didn't even sound good to me today. SHOCKING!0 -
ok...I am soooo happy now
We had an old hard drive that we had been saving for years...well i booted it up and there they all were...from the delivery room till 4 yrs old. I never thought i would be soo excited.
I was just in tears and my daughter was crying which made me cry more...nothing more sad that a 6 yr old saying why would someone want to delete all my baby pictures, why do they just want to erase me. I am soo glad, i am taking them all of there and finding several places to save everyhthing.....I can tell you this, I will never ever use dotphoto again.0 -
Thanks, snowflakes! This may be a silly question, but...
how did you get the chart at the bottom of your email - or do you have to type it every day? (the calorie range, etc.)
OK another silly questions....um...I hate to exercise. And I was planning to go slowly at first and exercise two days a week, then three, etc. (I have a LOT of weight to lose and my doc doesn't want me to do a lot of exercise at first because my knees are so bad). So is this OK for the group's parameters?

lildebbie: HAPPY DANCE!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
zorahope: Just type it in every day. You will see that I really abbreviate the statements. Next question is not silly at all! This MPF is all about you and your goals and how you decide to become healthy. This group will support and encourage your goals. The reason we post daily is that we have found that it is a good motivator to be accountable each and every day. Many say that the way to permanent weight lose is slow... Remember exercise is not just at the gym or on a piece of home equipment. It is anything that gets you off the couch. A leisurely walk around the park, taking stairs when you can,
house cleaning, walking to the mailbox, just move some. You will get stronger, listen to your body.
The calorie diary is fantastic, use it faithfully every day for every item you eat and you will see results.
mscocoa: Did I miss the challenge? I have not been in my regular routine for a few days. I scrolled through the posts and nothing jumped out at me. thanks.0 -
snowflakes: the challenge was to focus on our water intake this week. :drinker:
lildebbie: SO glad you found your photos. I'm a photographer and one thing I have learned (the hard way when my harddrive crashed) is to ALWAYS back up your photos (and important docs) onto a CD or DVD, etc. Some people even go so far as to keep those discs in their fire safe which isn't a bad idea.
zorahope: Welcome! I have a lot of weight to lose too. I'm working on about 120 pounds for now but I may end up losing more than that. Just remember slow weight loss is healthy weight loss. Also, you can do cardio without using you legs at all. When my legs are super sore or I want to give my knees a break, sometimes I just focus on punching. It REALLY speeds the heart rate right up (cardio) and is a great stress reliever, too.
I'll go ahead and check in though I think my numbers may change a little:
Calories: 1136 -- need to eat a little snack at least
Exercise: running/walking for 30 minutes on the treadmill -- 507 calories. I'll probably play DDR later tonight and burn another 150-200 calories.
Proud: I'm proud I pushed it really hard on the treadmill today. I'm so excited about training to be a runner! :happy:0 -
Hi gals,
My weight hasn't changed in 5 days. Is this a mini plateau?
Here's my check in for today.
Calories: 1,500
Exercise: Yes (burned 738)
Water: 56 oz.. (Still working on this, but getting better. Bad part is, drinking all of this water, I nearly peed my pants today. I think my body has to adjust to the increase in water.)
I'm really trying to be good, but I LOVE food. Today I had a McSkillet Burrito (went over my cholesterol and sodium limits) and a spoonful of mac and cheese. I was doing great, but lately, I have been sneaking in a thing or two slowly. This scares me because the small things can turn into big things. Anyway. if you take a look at my food diary for the past couple of day, you'll see how I've been dabbling here and there. :devil:0 -
hi thought id join this one to as i weight over 200 and hate it so much
trying to get down to 130 and i no its gonna take ages
