Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Thursday Truth: I don't plan my days very good. Yesterday, I knew I was going to try to do both Aqua Power class and Zumba. I also knew that would give me lots of extra calories (I do try to eat back those calories for the most part). I should have eaten more at breakfast and lunch, but instead I saved them for supper. It would have been different if I was going out with friends, but I just ate pizza instead -- with a pop and a candybar for dessert! Talk about truly empty calories. Still stayed under calorie goal, but I don't feel great -- water retention, stomach feels blech....maybe I'll have learned a lesson.
@RobinsEgg -- I hope you can find something too. Have you tried water aerobics?
@Toots -- UNBELIEVABLE!!!:explode: I'm mad for you. I agree that sometimes doctors have to tell us news we don't want to hear, but there is a way to say them and a way not to say them!!! There is a group on MFP for people with PCOS; they might have some tips for you.
You all have a great day -- I have Zumba class tonight and then my son has a baseball game (he got rained out on Tuesday, so hopefully the fields are better by now). GO ASTROS!!! Now its off to drink a ton of water to make up for my salty Wednesday.0 -
Hi guys-
I missed Wed. Wish due to still not feeling well, so I 2nd marca's wish for this headache to go away! :grumble:
@marca--the 80/20 rule is so true!! Just doing a little bit better with my eating over the past 2 weeks has brought me back down to to 185 as of today. I'm still not at my low of 181, but I'll get back there and beyond!
@toots--I think your doctor sounds just awful!
@robin--thanks for explaining who gunner is. :laugh:
@lilwaif--welcome! :flowerforyou: I did exactly what tracy said about looking through the database to see how stuff is worded. I've also just added my own exercises when all else fails. As roundgal said, if you don't have an HRM/calorie counter, you can look up approximate calories burned. I love the heathstatus one and use it all the time.
@roundgal--thanks for the other links!
@mel--yes, I find it's all of the "condiments" that I need to weigh--like mayo or ketchup. I've found the best way to do it is to put the bread (or whatever I'm eating it on) on the plate, tare the scale to zero, and then add the mayo, etc. directly to the bread and weigh it.
Thursday Truth:
I feel like crap!!! My nose is still all stuffed up, but now it's itchy too and I have a killer headache! I wonder if allergies are mixing in with the sinus thing I've had going on. Anyway, I took gunner for an extra-long walk yesterday, then I cleaned up his yard and gardened for awhile. I was already a bit head-achey before that, but once I finished, I was down for the count. In bed my 8:30 so no core work. :ohwell:

Mon--walk gunner + gym DONE (did weights and rowing + cardio)
Tues--walk gunner DONE
Wed--walk gunner DONE + core NOT DONE (but gardened for about an hour)

BUMP! I'm really excited to find you all! I joined the site before my wedding and great success and then I got married, got pregnant on the honeymoon and BOOM....back to where I started. I had great support the first time and it made all the difference. Looking forward to joining this thread!0

welcome!@toots--I think your doctor sounds just awful!
i'm sure she meant well, but she was wrong :laugh: and the delivery needed some work.@Toots -- UNBELIEVABLE!!!:explode: I'm mad for you. I agree that sometimes doctors have to tell us news we don't want to hear, but there is a way to say them and a way not to say them!!! There is a group on MFP for people with PCOS; they might have some tips for you.
i'm just not even sure where she's coming from. i weigh about 260 pounds. which is surely too much but not enough to justify a dangerous surgery.0 -
Toots, you qualify for the surgery especially if you have other weight related health issues.... like diabetes, thyroid disorder, PCOS may fall in that too. The operative word here is QUALIFY, not " YOU GONNA DIE IF WE DON'T WACK YOU OPEN AND REMOVE YOUR INSIDES!!!" UGH!!!0
-
hello everyone, anyone have the solution how to over come a plateau, its been three weeks and no loss, getting frustrated.
me too....have been exercising and eating properly with no weight results :sad: wish i had the answer to get things moving again0 -
Plateaus happen for a reason.... your body has a kind of default weight. Where ever you stay for a while becomes the new default and the body will try to maintain the status quo. After you have lost some weight, the body will fight more weight loss for a bit but will also be resetting the default weight!!! So, plateaus, though frustrating, have a purpose!!! That said, the best way to restart weight loss (after letting the body adjust) is to change things up.... add strength training, add intervals to your cardio, reduce carbs, eat a bigger breakfast, whatever!!! And keep working!!!! Remember that staying where you are is STILL better than where you started!!!hello everyone, anyone have the solution how to over come a plateau, its been three weeks and no loss, getting frustrated.

exactly. i'm sure i DO qualify. however the fact is i don't think it's justified.0 -
Good morning guys. I just got caught up on everyones posts from yesterday. I was just minding my own buisness yesterday when I was viciously attacked by a migaine:grumble: I dont get them very often but when I do they completley put me down. Good news I am feeling much better today just a little weak and shakey and that will pass.
Toots I second everything everyone else said about that Dr. Her bedside manner leaves alot to be desired.
Skinny sorry you weren't feeling good yesterday hopefully you woke up feeling much better. I totally understand the joy of allergies.
Not sure who was asking about plateaus but yeah thye are just part of the process. I lost 58 pounds and then nothing for six weeks. I would bounce around two or three pounds that whole time and then it just busted and now I am back to a pound or more a week pretty steady. I just kept making small tweaks and couldnt tell you what it was that worked. You just have to not give up that is the main thing.
My wish for Wednesday would have been not o have the headache:laugh:
Thursday truth is I get very frustrated when people dont listen to me. I know I dont know everything but there are still certain members of my family driving me nuts right now.
Well have a great day everyone and make all the best choices you can including not forgetting our friend :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Great insight from tammy and marca about plateaus!! I 100% agree--plateaus are your body's way of getting used to weighing less. I think it's important to view plateaus as a positive response your body has to weight loss vs. as some evil force to be conquered.
@lilwaif--yes, gunner gets lots of tummy rubs for helping mom work out. Back when I started this, there were plenty of days I didn't want to get my butt out the door, but my cute puppy-dog "encouraged" me to take him for a walk despite my own laziness. Now I love going out for a walk or run, but on those rare occassions when I don't feel like it (or more likely don't feel I have the time), he still nudges me out the door. :laugh:0 -
Still following everyones posts. Praying for those whoe are struggling and cheering for those who are kicking fat butt!
Thursday truth -........ Dr. McHottyPants was NOT pleased with my weight gain when he saw me again yesterday. He wants to see me next Friday (5/31) to 'discuss' it. Looks like I better behave for the next week so I can show him I'm back to being a good girl. SPending some time researchings foods today. Trying to find the lowest Purine foods that fit into my carb/sodium macros. Just what I need..ANOTHER food restriction. It looks like I'll be an involuntary vegetarian for a little while.. or at least cutting back the meat substantially(maybe 3oz a day as compared to 9oz). At least Sirloin is the same content as Chicken leg/Thigh (chicken breast is much higher) LOL!
He DID finally give me some meds for my gout. He did some searching and found one that filters through the liver instead of the kidneys. Unfortunately my health insurance didn't cover that drug so it was 129.00 out of pocket. Between missing 4 days of work (no sick leave so if I don't work, I don't get paid) and that drug...June will be a TIGHT month for me.
He also told me (again) that I should drink cherry juice. This time he explained why. The anthocyanins in the juice breaks down the crystalized Uric acid and helps the body pass it out. From what I read 2Tbsp daily is enough to prevent most cases of gout ( I guess unless you go crazy on purine high foods) and 8oz per day will help end a gout attack in about 48-72 hours. I Did learn an important lesson about Cherry juice. Don't drink it (8oz) of it unless you'll be home...alone... for a while...WOW! Even the cats abondonded me last night :blushing:
Anyhoo, still hobbling and gimping BUT the pain is no longer excruciating and I can actually SLEEP at night, which is amazing. I got in a full 10 hours last night (mines the 15 minutes that I had to change the blankets when the cat gacked up his dinner on the foot of the bed@ 1:43 AM).0 -
Thanks for all the info about plateaus...I didn't know any of that...just thought it was my body digging in to force me to give up :devil:
MyMOwMOw -- your cherry juice made me laugh. :laugh: My mom tells of when she went to the World's Fair and on the way, she and dad bought Cherries. She apparently had too many and the long lines at the bathrooms resulted in her having to "wash" her pants in the sink. She is a bit wary of cherries to this day -- still loves them, but definitely is good about limiting herself. :bigsmile:
Sunday: Rest (DONE )
Monday: Water Fit (maybe weights too -- we'll see what this new class is all about) (DONE - just the water fit class)
Tuesday: 30 DS (NOT DONE)
Wednesday: Aqua Power (DONE + ZUMBA to make up for Tuesday)

Friday: Cardio and Weights
Saturday & Sunday: Working on my old house -- painting, power washing, cleaning in general0 -
Welcome to my gym!!!

@marca--your picture made me laugh! :laugh:
@tracy & kris--all this talk of cherries reminded me that I have a bag of cherries in the produce drawer. Now I'm not sure I want to eat them...
AFM--Update is I still feel like crap. I've had spring allergies for years, but they are always in the form of chest congestion and a phlegmy cough. Occasionally, my eyes also get a bit watery and sticky. However, I've never had such intense eye/nose itchiness. I have always suspected that the allergy symptoms most affected my lungs b/c I was a smoker, so I'm wondering if this is the "new" way my allergies will manifest now that I've quit smoking. :ohwell:

Okay, I'm back. Missed showing up here for a while, but it's been BUSY. Because busy me = lazy me, I'm reading the posts on the current page and I'll just keep up from here!
jtconst - eew, migraines are evil. I haven't had a full blown one in years, but I remember them well. People not listening drives me batty too!
MyMOwMOw - ooof, cherries. 'Nuff said.
TOPSmarca - HEY, fellow gardener!
Mine finally got tilled up this past Saturday, and most of my plants are in. There are about a dozen pots of herbs to get in and my salad seeds to sow, but strawberries, tomatoes, watermelon, celery, onions, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and eggplant are all in the ground. 
I'm still rounding out my herb collection, though... one can never have too many varieties of basil, as far as I'm concerned! Um... do you have any ideas on how I might cheaply construct some temporary fencing that will discourage my Malamute and my toddler from destroying our food?
Update in Laura World: I managed to shed the unwelcome water weight, and it took a pal with it, so I'm officially down to 210. One-derland is in sight, only a bag of sugar away (holy cats, is that really all?!?!) I've realized that I either need to dig out and oil my sewing machine so I can alter my clothes, or start buying new ones... the smallest pair of shorts that I own literally slides off my hips without unfastening them at all.
I made a contact at a local pawn shop, the manager wants me to come set up a table once a week to sell my bakery products. I've introduced 3 new recipes (dill bread, rosemary & garlic, and whole wheat), as well as a baked cheese dip that is most definitely the LEAST healthy thing I make. LOL I got up the nerve to contact Trader Joe's to see if they'd have any interest in my herbed dipping oil, so *shrug* we'll see. I decided to open a savings account for the bakery, because I realized I was walking around with an unsecured cash box containing well in excess of $100 in it. Regular deposits have carried the total to $150 as of today.
As I mentioned above, my garden is FINALLY dug and about 3/4 planted. I have seeds for salad and salad veggies to put in, about a dozen herb pots, and thanks to freecycle I'll be picking up hostas to line the back fence as weed control, since I absolutely refuse to use chemicals that close to food. I'm planting a lot more than we will likely eat, but I don't think I'll have a problem getting rid of the excess at my twice-weekly sales. XD

My favorite kind of gym. Love getting the burn while getting stuff I want done :bigsmile:Welcome to my gym!!!0 -
hello everyone, anyone have the solution how to over come a plateau, its been three weeks and no loss, getting frustrated.
[/quote\]
Try upping your calories by 100 or so, and increasing your activity level/changing up your workout routine. It worked for me0 -
Laura, a great, not so costly and easy to install fence is cattle panels, available at most feed stores. For small spaces (they are about 12 ft long?) simply attach them to each other. For larger areas, one fence post at the junction of each panel and at corners is all you need!!!! A gate is easy to accomplish too.... you just loop a quick link around the long piece of panel and a short piece of panel and use dog clips for fasteners!!! BTW, the panels cut fairly easily with a hack saw. Good luck and we want some pics of that garden when it gets to growing!!!TOPSmarca - HEY, fellow gardener!

Truth today was just a bad day for me. I think the end of school is now getting on my nerves and I want it to be over. Not to mention, that I am starting to take things personally even through it was just an accident. Nothing serious just a lack of communication received- I think the Assistant Principal forgot I was on the 8th grade team since I don't get to attend the team meetings with everyone else. The joys of teaching 7th grade at that time on less meeting but everyone forgets about me.
The best of my day happened at the Amish Market when I ran into my friend Joe. We ended up going out for yogurt tonight. It was the perfect pick me up that I needed today. I did workout before hand so I earned the yogurt.
Here is a fun saying that I heard tonight while talking to Joe: Eat breakfast like a King, eat lunch like a queen, then eat dinner like a pauper. How true is that statement.
I am still working on changing up my meals and making a some progress. Next week, I am planning on creating an egg casserole with sausage and veggies. That way I can just heat it up in the morning. Next step is to start reducing the protein in take.
Laura- Congrats on losing the water weight, that is always a great feeling.
Marsah- I love your gym, great job on planting your garden.
Goals-
Monday- Trainer DONE
Tuesday-off DONE
Wednesday- gym NOT DONE
Thursday- gym DONE
Friday- Rock
Saturday some type of exercise- bike, gym or swim not sure yet0 -
Marca--Love the gym picture.
Karen--sorry you aren't feeling well.
Laurie--Good job reworking your menus.
My memory isn't very long and I did most of my reading today with a baby in my lap so I didn't get to make any notes. Anyway, welcome to the new ones.
I had a good birthday yesterday. Keith asked me where my cake was. When I told him I didn't have a cake he said, "Well, every birthday needs a cake."
DH took me to a sushi place that is quite new to our area. I really enjoyed it, but found it hard to log because the items don't seem to be in the data base. I don't think that its very high in calories. We got some more blooming plants for our yard. I learned that the ID state flower is technically not syringa at all. The lilac family is syringa. If you want to buy the ID state flower you have to look for mock orange. Who knew? I also bought a couple of new shirts. So fun to shop in women's instead of plus sizes.
Thanks for all of the birthday wishes.
Have a good evening. Kaye0 -
Toots - I'd look at this as a wake-up call. Ask yourself how many times are you going to lose the next 10 pounds before you WOULD consider surgery? I know you can lose weight on your own, and I'm proud of you for it. Just don't sabotage yourself one more time. Promise yourself, if you lose weight again, but gain it back, you'll consider the surgery then. But don't ever grace that gyno with your presence again. :noway:
jt - sorry about your migraine - oh they are miserable lil beggars, aren't they?
MowMow - wow - didn't understand the complexity of gout when I got it I was put on the meds and bingo bango I was healed - you're having to cut back on your protein severely would make a person more hungry I would think, I hope not for your sake! I hope the cherry juice helps more than it hurts!
Marca - what a beautiful picture - love your garden! <small pang of envy :laugh: >
Skinny - have you totally quit smoking or are you using the E-cigarette still? Ask your pharmacist for something for your specific sinus and nasal and eye symptoms, there's a cheap and effective product out there for ya.
Laura (MaryPoppins) Congrats on being so close to Onderland. I like how you put it, "Being 10 lbs. or one bag of sugar" away from onderland" - I think that's a great image!
Good luck in your business!
Laurie - I'm glad you ran into a good friend at the end of your poor day - that's turning things around. I liked his saying too.
If you're going to bake egg casseroles for your breakfasts, I heard about one made in muffin tins so you get individual egg breakfasts. Sorry I don't have the recipe. I'll try to google for it.
Kaye - so glad your birthday went well. How nice you got plants and got to get a couple of blouses as well. You might try looking up the sushi in the data base under tuna, raw, eel, raw, etc. You might have to call the restaurant and ask what was in the sushi.
I just found out tonight that one of my girlfriend's husbands has a brain tumor. Jeff is being told its very good chance its not cancerous, but its the size of a ping pong ball and its behind his left eye, He's not on the surgery schedule for about a week. He could use your prayers or cosmic wishes. Thanks.

i did consider it before i ever came here and shared. i came home and read all about the hospital and the surgery and the insurance and the options. it just seems very extreme to me. but who knows, the day may come that i'll change my mind0 -
Hi everyone
Toots-- I understand your hesitation, maybe look for a place like this online and read what all people are saying. I'm sure they would share both the pros and cons.
Robin-- sorry about your friends husband, how scary even if it is not cancer
Kaye-- sounds like a wonderful birthday, especially the shopping!
Laurie--sorry you had a bad day, Not too long before its over. Do you have any fun plans for the summer?
Jt-- I'm really jealous, wish I had that much room for a garden. I just have a few tomatoes, peppers, and green beans. Hope the migraines stay away.
Laura-- congrats on the baking and garden. Don't think I could bake all that bread and not eat it. Sounds amazing.
Well this weekend we are cooking out. Hope not to go overboard but when the guys cook it's not anything healthy. It's also too delicious to turn down. I just have to remember portion control. I didn't do so well with that yesterday. I think the stress of this remodel is getting to me. The painter that painted the cabinets did a crappy job so now we are trying to find someone to fix it. You wouldn't think it would be that hard but I guess all the good ones are busy. I would wait but we have company coming in for my son's graduation in 2 weeks. Still lots of other stuff to be done. Just trying not to eat my stress.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
Sunday: Rest (DONE )
Monday: Water Fit (maybe weights too -- we'll see what this new class is all about) (DONE - just the water fit class)
Tuesday: 30 DS (NOT DONE)
Wednesday: Aqua Power (DONE + ZUMBA to make up for Tuesday)
Thursday: Zumba (DONE)
Friday: Cardio and Weights - this is going away...my husband announced he wants to leave earlier today so my free time will be filled with packing...glad I had a really good workout both Wed and Thurs!!)
Saturday & Sunday: Working on my old house -- painting, power washing, cleaning in general
We are going to try to head to SD right after the kids get off school. I have to do some real planning this time around. We are staying at our old house (since we have to do all the work to it), but since it is empty that means we have to pack towels, shower curtain, bedding, soap, etc. I will also have to do some shopping when we get there so that we don't eat fast food the whole time. But that also means I have to take some pots and pans, utensals and cleaning supplies. UGH. I wish my husband wasn't so stubborn and that we could stay with friends -- at least I could get by without packing some of this stuff. I will be logging in via my phone so I'll be MIA until probably Thursday. Wish me luck!! :frown:
@Laura -- congrats on your loss and congrats on the pawn shop.
@RobinsEgg -- A co-worker of mine had that. Her surgery went well and recovery time wasn't too long if I recall. I'll send prayers for Jeff that everything is sucessful.
@Suzee -- good luck.. its hard to break our old habits when temptation stares us in the face...but I agree, enjoy but in smaller portions. What else can you do to relieve some stress. I know that I feel better after taking a Zumba class...I feel a lot of negative energy is gone afterwards (I'm not to the point of "whoo-hoo, I get to take Zumba!!" but its better than what I used to do -- head for the couch with the remote and a bag of chips:blushing:0 -
Fri Fitness - OK I did squats again today that makes 3 times this week. I did 16 the first day, 32 the second day and 48 today. This is without any weights. I was tremendously fatigued and had to break at the 32 mark today, but I'm glad I'm doing them. They are the first exercise I've found where I feel I'm gaining strength from day to day actually without hurting myself.
For the June Challenge I think we should include another 4 lb weight loss as well as something else. I think we should keep one eye focused on losing weight in this forum. Lets keep talking about what the other challenges might be. Some suggestions were to make a certain day of the week an exercise day and to make one day of the week a fun day.0 -
Friday Fitness:
Last week:
Saturday: sitting in a field drinking beer DONE
Sunday: striking the tent and some carting of stuff, but quite a light day
Monday: morris dancing - er, nope, but did strength
Tuesday: circuits and strength - strength yes and a run done
Wednesday: badminton - nope but strength
Thursday: run - nope but strength
Friday: badminton - DONE
And yes, four lots of strength. It's making me feel wonderful, though it might be impeding actual weight loss.
Next week is half term, so I have implemented the normal 'no more than two days of sitting glued to the computer' rule for the children.
Saturday: parkrun and ceilidh
Sunday: running in the Westminster Mile with Sweatshop: http://www.bupawestminstermile.co.uk/Race_Info.htm
Monday: badminton and strength
Tuesday: exhibitioning (so lots of walking) and strength
Wednesday: run I hope
Thursday: strength
Friday: exhibitioning
I want to get three strength in there, and possibly also a trip to the Lido if the weather is nice, with one or both of the kids. But the school holidays are always a bit messed up.
@Robin -- I went to have a look at my local women only gym. They had a dumbbell rack in a dusty corner and the biggest dumbbells were 10kg, which is the size I'm using *now* for back exercises like lateral rows. So that won't do. There's a macho-type gym a bit further away but there is not one single woman in all their promo shots. So at the moment I'm just managing with my dumbbells at home. I reckon in 6 months if I'm still lifting I will have to get my courage up to go and talk to the lifting gym and say 'teach me how to lift barbells'. Also, squats are awesome. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's husband. Fingers crossed the surgery goes well.
@PlatinumDiva2 -- on plateaus, I just find that if I log everything very carefully and make sure that I'm doing plenty of exercise, the scale falls into line eventually.
@Marca -- love the new pic! You look so great! And the garden is the *BEST* gym.
@Mel -- you might want to get yourself some electronic scales for your food. It does make it much easier to count effectively. On exercise calories, for some forms of exercise MFP can be very generous with the calories. And if you've just started exercising, your body might be retaining some water as the muscles ease up and get used to the more stringent routine. Just keep on doing what you're doing. Remember, there aren't any prizes for being the fastest to lose -- more the reverse actually.
@Toots -- your gynaecologist isn't a nutrition or obesity expert. Would you take nutrition and exercise advice from your dentist? (I mean, apart from 'don't eat sweets and fizzy drinks...'). I'd talk to your regular doctor. And there is a whole thread on here for all the people who *have* lost 100 pounds or more without surgery. So it's definitely possible -- I'm pretty sure there's some people with PCOS on there too. (Note to all our friends who are managing post surgery too -- I think that's a completely valid choice as well, just that it's a *choice*.) And I've really noticed how much my health is improved even though I'm only half way to 'goal'. If my goal was sorting out the health problems my weight was causing, I'd be pretty much done.
Welcome newlings! This is the *best* group!
Have a brilliant weekend, everyone!

I just did Insanity day 1. burned almost 500 calories. it was hard and there were a few things i couldn't do because of my knees but it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. don't get me wrong, it wasn't fun (well, it kind of was) but it wasn't like i was led to believe it would be :laugh:@Toots -- your gynecologist isn't a nutrition or obesity expert.

yeah, you have an excellent point.0 -
Hi everyone. Well my fitness for Friday fizzeled. I seem to be having some kind of intestinal issues which I have never had a problem with before so this pretty much sucks. I didnt make the gym and tried doing Leslie Sansone at home but only lasted about twenty minutes. Unfortunaltely these issues dont seem to be affecting my appetite so if I decide to make dinner I am going to go over for the day. All in all not a great day but hey thats life. I hope everyone else is starting their holiday weekend off right. See ya'll tomorrow.0
