Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

I am putting MFP up to a challenge to see if what they say is correct. Everyday we log our food intake and hit save(or whatever it says) then they say if you eat like this for 5 weeks you will weigh XXX. Well all my meals this week said I would weigh 238 in 5 weeks. I will be starting this on Sunday- being I have no home internet right now I posted today
My challenge is to continue to work out and eat variations of those same meals for 5 weeks and see what I actually weigh. So if you look at food diary's mine will not change much. I am okay with eating the same foods just because I already eat like that on regular anyways. I will still have one cheat day usually Saturday.
I am also posting Sunday share-
My name is Holly. I live in Minneapolis MN on the Northside. I work for Target Headquarters and love my job most days. I have been obese for about 14yrs. I used food as my comfort and being my life had many ups and downs I was comforting myself alot. I would walk alot but never lost much weigh due to my poor choices in food I was addicted to fast food big time. I would or could eat it for every meal of the day. I tried MFP many times without much success I joined this group a little over a year ago and more success than ever on this site. I know it is a combo of the group and my motivation at the time.
In the last year I lost 20lbs and gained 15lb back and now I have almost lost 15lbs again. Once again I resorted to using food for comfort and with zero exercise that is why I gained back. I am a single mom of a 16yr old boy. I go to school part time to get a degree and work full time. I also recently decided to allow my BF and his 2 kids 9 and 12 move into my new house with me. Everyday is some sort of challenge and most of those resulted in my gain and using food to comfort once again.
In 2013 I am working so hard on if I use food as comfort to eat healthy like a yogurt or fruit. I am also "doing me" I need to get back to the happy go lucky motivated person I was when I stated this group and I will let no person stand in my way.0 -
Short check in. DH is installing a cupboard in the office so my computer is covered up to protect it from the dust for a few days. I will try to log-in on son's computer, but my not have much time. I'm running behind now, so just popped in to say hang in there and have a great weekend. Kaye0

i'm going to do the one hundred push up challenge. http://www.hundredpushups.com/#sthash.8QMMWtRD.NFqJSXeq.dpbs i have two friends with me doing a sit up challenge and a crunches challenge. in six weeks we're going to rotate. should be interesting.
Can they be girl pushups or do they have to be real ones? :P I'm up to 60 during my strength training (3 days a week). Same with crunches. Sit ups.... not ready for those yet.
Thursday truth (a bit late). I binged out on last night (Thursday) and added like 1900 calories to my day. Yeah.... drove my BP way up with all the salt as well. I found some yummy new recipes I'm going to try out this weekend so I'm headed to the grocery store tonight.
Friday Fitness: Batting zero on that this week. I will walk my errands tomorrow and have a hike scheduled for Sunday so that's something at least.0 -
Hang in there....we all have our bad days.

Thanks for all the advice all. I'm so glad that other people use the Walk at Home DVD's too! Makes me feel like I'm making some good choices.
I did have my friday fitness update, but I was wondering, do you all have a cheat day? If so, what does a cheat day look like? LOL- I have my idea of what it is, but I think some feedback on this would be good.
Thanks!!

Walking with ya!!!
And no, I do not have a cheat day. I do not have a cheat meal. I do not cheat. I do not eat anything that isn't nutrient dense or is in my best interest because I want to be healthy. I am 100% on track. There is no way I personally could trust myself with any other way of doing this. BUT I am celiac, have handfuls of other food intolerances and I feel SOOOOOO good now compared to when I started this........sounds crazy but that's fine.
Everyone has to find their own best way to do this. ALL BEST WISHES TO YOU!!!!

Rachael - I don't have a "Cheat Day" either. I may have a "Cheat Occasion" but I like to plan ahead for them. Say I want to go to my favorite pizza place next weekend and I know I want to eat 3 pieces, and drink 2 glasses of wine. I figure out how many calories that meal will be (most restaurants will help you) and then I figure out where I can deduct those calories before the weekend comes up, because I don't want to gain from eating that pizza. So if I'm going to eat a 1500 calorie pizza and wine meal, I will subtract 250 calories a day from my daily intake until I make up for it. Or, you can add in exercise - it will give you more calories per day - its like averaging your daily calories over a weeks time. But be careful doing it, its not all that easy to give up those daily calories!0

I don’t have a cheat day per se, either. If I’m going to treat myself to something though, it’s usually on Friday’s. I don’t go hog wild and it’s not all day, I may treat myself to something I’m craving – but I plan for it. I also try to make those indulgences fit into my macros as much as possible, by cheating for an entire day you can completely undo everything you’ve done all week. I also exercise like crazy most of the week, so do have a little bit of wiggle room – but like Robin, I try to think ahead and plan for the drink I may want or the special restaurant I want to go to. Today is a perfect example of that, I knew I was having Chipotle for lunch today so skipped b’fast. I also knew there was a strong possibility that I would be going to happy hour tonight, so I anticipated the extra calories this week.0 -
I can always use the support and am more than willing to give support to those who need it.0

I don't have a specific cheat day but I do eat occassions. Like Saturday is another Packer game so that day I will eat what I want and I log all food still. I will call it a cheat day on my diary but it is just me enjoying foods I like with my friends. I personally feel like I should not deprive myself of things just only eat the serving size allowed for that item.0 -
Greetings everyone!
I have done 12 minutes of strength training Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday!
@Rachael- I use the fitbit ultra and like it. I use it everyday. Here is a link to their site:

I think I saw Best Buy have them on sale at one time.
Hope everyone has a healthy day.

LaurieK & Liz - sorry you are still under the weather.
Holly - we adopted Mr Doodle, who had lost two previous owners, who passed away. He is very protective, but hates to be left alone, we have found a great doggie day care service so that he doesn't have to go through the abandonment feelings. I couldn't ask for a better companion she is always there for me when I need a warm fuzzy hug.
Skinnyjeansbound- Yesterday I finally finished off the last bit of temptation left over from the holidays. I can smell Fritos at a hundred yards and they call to me, "eat me, eat me, EAT ME!" I think I may have to ban them from the house.
vickimieth & naceto - I feel the same way sometimes. Early this week I hurt my back and I don't want to log on and whine about it, but it has been the only thing on my mind...Don't drop out, stay with us, stay accountable. We need each other.
Kareleona - I envy your energy.
Rachel - I have a SportLine Pedometer that is very light and durable. Cost about $30. It has a clip on the back so it is easy to attach to whatever you are wearing. I also use a Polaris foot pod, but that is more expensive and a little awkward to put on a shoe so I leave it on the shoes I wear most often for walking. Cost over $100 but downloads info to your computer and a whole lot of other stuff that turns on my hubby :laugh:
Friday Fitness - My back is slowly getting better. I may try to walk this afternoon....sigh...0 -
Friday Fitness has rolled round again. So here was last week's plan:
Saturday -- 5k parkrun in the morning, Morris dancing in the evening (the Wassail). DONE
Sunday -- badminton though only an hour. DONE
Monday -- badminton including coaching, plus an easy jog down to meet my friend and have a walk round the reservoir and a pub lunch. Then a jog or walk home depending on how I'm feeling. DONE 5mile walk plus 2 hours badminton.
Tuesday -- long run in theory though the weather forecast is for rain. I'm busy in the evening so whatever happens has to happen in the morning. Nope -- REST because Monday was really tiring.
Wednesday -- badminton or a long run depending on the weather. - 5mile buildup run; ran the whole way and at a good pace too.
Thursday -- speedwork; no, it's a bit cold -- did a brisk walk instead.
Friday -- badminton -- DONE
And three, count them three, strength workouts. Nope, 1 1/2 again. I don't know why I'm being so rubbish about this.
Walking from Hobbiton to Rivendell -- now on day 2 at 27 miles. The road is rolling up and down.
OK. So here's a plan for next week:
Saturday -- 5k parkrun, possibly with my friend, my son and her daughter as well. Might sqeeze in some badminton later.
Sunday -- Might be walking around the village with wassailers. Not quite sure. And a little run.
Monday -- Hoping to get badminton coaching but that might not happen. If not I'll do the long run today.
Tuesday -- long run unless the weather's awful.
Wednesday -- whatever I do must be early because my mum's coming to stay. Badminton club?
Thursday -- rest day (dinner & a show with Mum)
Friday -- badminton
I too miss some of the people who haven't been on for a while -- particularly Christine! Hope they're back soon.
My daughter is having six friends round for a sleepover to celebrate her 16th birthday -- her actual birthday's not till Monday but they're giggling away. In honour of their advanced age and maturity we went out for dinner (there's a pretty nice place just a couple of minutes' walk from the house -- http://www.eat17.co.uk ) and left them alone for a couple of hours -- when we got back we could not hear *any noise at all* from the street! We're keeping out of their way now. So with dinner, and beer, and birthday cake, I've gone a bit over today but nothing insurmountable.
Hope everyone has fantastic plans for the weekend!

yeah, you can adjust, like knee push ups or whatever.0 -
Depending on what you are looking for in a pedometer you can find a cheep one that tracks: steps, miles and calories burned for about $5.00 at the 5 and Below store. Drawback it does not log into a computer or track stairs.
Cheat days- I typically don't have cheat days but I let myself eat what I want in moderation. Typically, I eat the same foods each day but there are times when I give into my sugar cravings.
Fitness- I am focusing more on weight training which should help with toning and weight loss. Now I am doing a series of exercises with 3 sets of 10 reps with the amount of weight increasing each week. I am noticing more definition in my arms especially the biceps.
I am feeling better today. I did not climb tonight but that is for the best as I needed the rest.0 -

Thanks for your support everyone... half the time I feel like such a winner; the other half- a whiner! lol.. at least I still have my sense of humor!
rachael- Great job with the walking! The best thing you can do is to keep on moving! I find that the more I walk, the cleaner I can eat (no- I am not a "clean eater", but I try to keep it as healthy as my will power will let me), and the more water I drink- the better I feel.
Alison- A sleepover??? I am sure that just having a bunch of 16 year old girls in the house will burn some calories!
AngelikaLumie- So glad your back is getting better.... just remember not to push yourself too fast. Slow and steady...
And you are right- we DO need each other. This group has really kept me going. I appreciate how everyone is so welcoming even when I fall off track or become a bit self absorbed :flowerforyou: Thanks for reminding me. :flowerforyou:
Kelley- I did NOT get those problems done. Outside of the classroom, I have spent about 7 hours on Math, since Monday. I am hoping I can catch up and get ahead this weekend. I also have papers to write and a ton of reading assignments for the English class. Super cool topic in English- Food sustainability. It is a research class; so I should find some things that will help with my personal growth, as well as supporting a good grade in the class.
Friday fitness: The walking I have done has all been on campus. It is anywhere from 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile from where I park, to my class- so I count it Do you think I am fooling myself by eating those calories? I will appreciate honesty.. and won't be offended if you tell me I am a silly duck to count it. :bigsmile: 0 -

Laurie- you totally blow me away with your activity levels! Kudos to you! :drinker:0 -
I want to say thank you to all of you for your words of encouragement!
@Laurie~ thanks! I have a 5 and below close by. I'll definitely check it and see if it's worth it. I'd like it to track everything though, that would be ideal.
I'm definitely going to check out all pedometers mentioned. Thank you everyone!! I think I will trust those that have been at this much longer than I have and skip the cheat day for awhile. I really don't trust myself yet. However, I am nervous for tomorrow bc we are going to a restaurant for my mothers surprise party and there is a menu to pick. They have salad or soup as an option( I'm voting salad) then the entree. I'm thinking penne vodka or grilled chicken panini? Or is that a bad choice? I don't want to set myself up for failure. Suggestions?
I did my workout tonight with good old Leslie sansone lol for the following:
~ 5 min warm up
~ 14 min mile 1
~ 14 min mile 2
~ 9 min cool down/stretch
A grand total of 42 minutes and 471 calories. I log it as, walking, 4.0 mph bc it's essentially aerobics. That left me well under my calories for the day.
I also made 4 dozen cupcakes for the party and didn't eat 1! Not sure if this counts as NSV or not, but figured I would share. I bake on the side, custom cakes and cupcakes, so I would always taste the product to make sure it was perfect and I DID NOT cave in with 48 chocolate cupcakes taunting me.:explode:0 -
Went to happy hour with a friend from work tonight, enjoyed some sangria - so tasty. I have a long run planned for the morning.
@Laurie~Excellent job on the fitness this week! :flowerforyou:Friday fitness: The walking I have done has all been on campus.

Nicole, absolutely you should count the calories you burn by walking on campus; maybe don't eat all of them back though. But you definitely should count it as activity. Good luck with the math problems this weekend, I hope you get caught up. Your english class sounds interesting - I hope you enjoy it! :happy:0 -

I went to a Hip Hop class twice this week and it is so much fun ! Everyone is doing a fantastic job and i have been trying to get caught up on the board tonight i am deffently going to get on this board more often !0 -
Friday Fitness: Overall, it's been a decent week on the fitness front. Today was 60 minutes on the dreadmill doing the hill mode using 3.5 speed with 8% incline. I was able to complete 3.75 miles so not too bad.
I'm a day late, but for Thursday Truth my eating has been a different story. I'm still tracking every day, staying under and not using my exercise calories, but they've not been the most nutritious choices. A lot of sea salt caramel - bad, bad Susan!!!
On Monday, I'm starting a Get Fit Challenge at our work gym. It's myself and two co-workers as a team. I've got some Medifast meals leftover so I'm going to use those up and go high protein in the beginning to jump start my weight loss. Between the plateau, holidays and the gain I experienced I'm definitely ready for this challenge.
Welcome to all the new folks. You've found an amazing group of people who are so supportive. Try to check in daily though because the thread moves like crazy and before you know it you're 5 pages behind. It happens to me all the time. LOL!!!0 -

Hey Kris---great job! Hip Hop sounds like funnnnnnnn.
Shout-out to Susan----great job on the dreadmill. 8% incline. Yipes, that is marvelous.
Naceto--sure count the walk but I agree don't eat all the calories back. Be conservative.
I am happy for you folks!! I'm out here and still mostly walking. :glasses:
Right now I cannot think of any NSV at all...................looking forward to hearing yours. :bigsmile:

Good Morning.
Kind of dreary here today, this morning anyway and I know the temps are supposed to drop throughout the day. We had a gorgeous 70+ degree day yesterday - of course, I had to work. :sad: My parents we're planning to visit today, so hope the dreary weather doesn't change their plans - love it when they visit!
@Kris~Hip Hop class sounds like fun!
@Jumpy~Excellent!
@Susan~Great job with the activity this week, good luck with the challenge at your gym. My gym is having another 90-day weight loss challenge that runs from Feb-May - I came in 3rd for the last one, so am considering doing it again. I'm meeting with the weight loss coach on Monday to see if there is anything I can tweak so my losses are consistent throughout the challenge.
I need to do some body measurements sometime today, so can hopefully report good news for Saturday Success. This is a non-scale week and I'm staying off! I'm headed off to the gym in about an hour, need to do a long-run today (running for time not distance right now).
Every one have a super day, I will try to check back later.

Good Morning All!:flowerforyou:
First time in a week I actually can say that and mean it! Even though I had a flu shot, guess I fell into that 38% ineffective group. I've consumed mainly ice cream, chicken soup and herb tea all week--and of course didn't bother to log it. I thought I had a super cold, and was too late for the anti-viral. Do NOT do this! When in doubt, see your Dr. anyway.
I won't venture out for at least another 24 hours to make sure I'm no longer contagious. Still a bit dizzy and very coughy.
I reset my weight goals and calories to reflect and correct two months of poor choices, travel, entertaining houseguests, and hit-or-miss logging. Anyone else discover they can't succeed without careful logging? Can't fool myself, I guess. Mea culpa.
What I've mostly missed though is this group. Keeping up with your successes, challenges and wisdom is a real help to me. So thanks.
Even if I don't post often, I'm still reading, empathizing, sometimes nodding my head in agreement, and sometimes smiling.

Good morning everyone!
@marsha--sorry you got the flu--it stinks that you got the shot and still caught it. :frown:
@kelley--the weather here is dreary as well. We had a few days of warmer weather and rain, but today it's supposed to get cold and turn to snow. :ohwell:
@susan--I'm in the same boat with food. Staying under but still too much junk. Hoping to turn that around this coming week. Will make a much needed trip to the grocery this weekend.
@kris--good to see you back--hip hop sounds like fun--I wish I didn't have to pay extra for classes at my gym. :ohwell:
@kristen--AWESOME!! :drinker:
@nicole--what do you have your activity level set at? If it's set at sedentary, then I think it's okay to eat back all or most of those walking calories. However, if you have it set at lightly active or active, then I agree with others that you should log it but maybe try to eat back only a portion--depending upon how much that walking is above and beyond your normal daily activity.
@alison--great job with your middle earth journey--we are basically hand in hand as I am at 26.5 miles as of yesterday. :happy:
@angelika--I have more issues with the sweets than the salty, but I hear you. Once those foods are under my roof, it's really hard to resist their Sirens' song. Glad to hear your back is improving.
@tom--great job with the strength training. I bet you're pretty excited that your beloved hockey is soon to return!
@rachael--I also don't have regularly planned cheat days, but like others I try to plan if I know I will have a day that's high calorie. I also admittedly have unplanned high calorie days (like Mondays's Popeye's chicken) and I just make up for those extra calories over the next few days. For me it's all about balancing it out throughout the week b/c that's what a lifestyle change means in my mind. I also personally never use the term "cheat" b/c it's so connected to the whole idea of "dieting" which I also don't do. Ultimately though, I agree with Lin--everyone is different and you have to figure out what will work for you.:flowerforyou:
@kris--Holly already said it--today's a new day!
@holly--As far as testing MFP's predictions, I do it all the time. I go into the food diary and use the little calendar to click on the date 5 weeks ahead. Then I leave a little note to myself in the food diary notes that says "You should weigh X lbs." When I reach that date in real life, I can then compare my true weight to the prediction. Honestly, when I'm doing everything right, it's usually within a lb or 2 of accuracy.
@toots--good luck with the push up/sit up challenge!
@liz--feel better! :flowerforyou:
Friday Fitness:
I'm really proud of my fitness this past week b/c I met all of my goals so far even if it wasn't always on the scheduled day. Yesterday was my rest day, but I ended up walking gunner (to make up for thursday's missed walk). Then I went out to see a friend's band and danced for about 3 hours. I only logged it as 1 hour to be conservative, but I danced hard! I actually woke up sore--especially my calves. That seems unfair given all of the cardio I do, but it's not really a bad sore, just an "oh, I used those muscles a lot" sore. I'm flipping my weekend plan b/c I have my niece's b-day party tomorrow, so it's gym today instead.
Exercise Goals:
Mon--core work DONE
Tues--walk gunner + gym (treadmill and elliptical) DONE
Wed--core work DONE thursday
Thurs--walk gunner (Not DONE b/c raining) + gym (yesterday's core work, treadmill, and stationary bike) DONE
Fri--rest day (did yesterday's walk with gunner + went dancing)
Sat--walk gunner + core
Sun--walk gunner + gym (long run)
Saturday Success:
See Friday Fitness.
Need to get moving so I can walk gunner and hit the gym before grading. That will be the bulk of my afternoon. :ohwell: I plan to finish grading goal #5 today, and perhaps get some of #1 done. Those AP essays are looming, but I've decided to tackle those while my students are taking finals next week--I'm just not feeling them yet.
Grading goals:
1. 7/22 diction analyses
2. x/48 AP essays
3. 11/11 AP analysis activities DONE
4. Get final exams done and copied for Adv. G&S (DONE), AP Lit, and H Am Lit
5. 5/59 Journals0 -
Saturday Success -- looks like I'm on track for a loss this week, if I can hold steady through the weekend. I did some wii fit today to make up for some silly early morning snacking.... sheesh. I'm also looking at backpacking books, starting to plan a hike this summer, and looking for a local triathalon to try next fall... that should keep me focused....0

What a day! DH was hanging the cabinet over the computer when he put a screw through the water line from the upstairs bathroom. :noway: Boy did I have to scramble to gather up every towel in the house to absorb the water while he went to the crawl space to turn it off, and to get all of the electronics unplugged and out of the way. :grumble: I've spent an hour with the blow dryer drying out all of the outlets, including the phone line, which was not working. Also had to clean up all of the water and construction debris, but everything seems to be working. (I can't find a smiley that says "phew".) I don't know when the cupboard will be up now. There is wet sheet rock to replace, etc. so it will probably be a few days. He knew the line was there. Both my son and I had discussed it with him. It is still so hard to admit that he can't do all the things he used to do. :sad: On the upside, I didn't start devouring all of the chocolate chip cookies that I made earlier, and I burned some calories with all of the clean up work. I was able to get a plumber to come right over and he was able to splice the line and get it fixed very quickly so we have water again. This too shall pass.
NSV (besides not eating the cookies). When you are as short as I am, reaching things in the kitchen cupboards is a big deal. I am noticing that some things are easier to reach now that I can stand closer to the cupboard.:blushing:
Have a great weekend. Kaye0
