Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Hi all would love to join this lovely supportive thread. I am a homeschooling mum from down under. I have a bunch of kid's one has left home. Try to get me time but it can be hard to fit in exercise and counting cals but I am doing it. I have a nasty sore throat and a headache today so taking a cue from my body to rest, DS is unwell too so we are taking a break from school today.
Wintery day here started of with blue skyes but has clouded over now. It' 3:30pm here and DH has just gone to pick up the older kid's from high school. He works later on tonight.0 -
Oh, gosh, it's been ages. Half term was extremely full -- that's school holidays for you. And this week, kids are back at school but my daughter has her big public exams (GCSEs) and is in and out of school at weird times and very stressed. She's got Additional Maths today -- that's special hard maths for the clever kids, and she's really had to work hard on it but should now get a comfortable A (a good thing, because next year she's specialising in maths and science). In the meantime, I lost another pound, which is nice -- but for some reason my tracker isn't updating. Has anyone else had that?
I followed up sorting out my half of our bedroom by tackling my half (well, really, my 3/4) of the study. A couple of very solid days this week have left it looking really good, with two empty shelves! I still have a couple of crates of junk to sort through, which I guess will fill up some of that space, and a small pile of correspondence, that will be much easier to handle on a clean desk. I find this sort of decluttering very stressful, and it's had an effect on my eating.
Des asked about 'halfway through' body image. What has happened to me is that after I stopped feeling rotten all the time and started being able to buy clothes in regular shops, my weight loss just stalled. So I'm losing much more slowly now, but the trend is still slightly down. I would definitely like to get out of 'obese' into 'overweight', and lose the massive rolls of lard. But I also want to do weight-lifting, decluttering, swimming, and hanging out with my husband, my kids and my friends. And all those things detract from the time I spend doing the things that really support rapid weight loss (planning and cooking meals at home, and long runs and other long-form cardio). So I guess weight loss is just a notch lower in the priorities than it was a few months ago.
@Tammy -- well done on the lost inches. That's just *fantastic*.
@Des -- good to see you back. I have a very no-nonense rheumatology specialist nurse, who, about 13 months ago now, went through my whole lifestyle in some detail and then said 'actually you have no excuse not to lose weight and you probably won't even find it that difficult.' And she was right.
@Helena -- so sorry to hear about your mom. You, or she, might like butdoctorihatepink.com , which is a blog about living with stage 4 breast cancer written by a woman I've known online ever since we were both expecting babies in January 1997.
@Kris -- my kids say 'mum only uses meat to flavour vegetables' and it's sort of true. So I do use meat, but often in fairly tiny portions, lots of cheap meat on the bone to make stews and stocks. As a reluctant vegetarian, I guess you could probably include things like meat stocks to add flavour. We use lots of mushrooms, beans (especially black beans) and eggs, all of which are cheaper and healthier than meat. I made this veggie lasagne the other week and it was insanely good. http://forkd.com/recipe/lentil-mushroon-and-spinach-lasagne-819 .
@Vicki -- love your photo! Don't you look fantastic!
@Robin -- I am totally up for a squat challenge. Some people are doing a burpee challenge for June, but I cannot even do *one* burpee. My son makes fun of my upper arms when I'm wearing short-sleeved clothes. They do look funny! But he's still being mean; I guess that's what being 12 is like. Oddly, it doesn't upset me so much as when a friend looked at them, and said, helpfully, that it might be possible to get them sorted out surgically -- that just sort of stabbed me and made me think I'd always look terrible. Part of the reason I'm determined to do strength training is that I believe that building muscle there helps to define the upper arms and make the flab look better. Swimming's good too.
@Lorarock -- if you find you're overeating in the afternoon and evening, you may be undereating at breakfast and lunch. Also, looking at your diary, it looks like you're going a very low fat route. My experience is that low fat foods do not make me feel full and I do much better with a higher fat, lower carb balance -- I aim for 40/30/30 carbs/protein/fat.
@Tom -- love that picture of all the health improvements we're making! Though I guess poor Kris is in the 23% for gout... And the Vince Lombardi quote is fantastic too -- that's gone on my quotes board.
@Laurie -- YAY for dropping a dress size! That's so fantastic.
@Tammy -- I hope you have a wonderful wonderful month with your husband and he's really excited to see how you're looking now.
Welcome newlings! You will discover that this is a fantastic and consistently supportive group.
We have a free 'Outdoor Gym' that's just been built in our local park, and the council have paid for a fitness instructor to be there 10-12 today. It's a beautiful day and I'm going to walk down there in a bit and see what he has to say about the machines.
Have a fantastic day, every single one of you!

Wednesday Wish -- that we get through this week. Lots of good times but lots of running too.
My 6 year old daughter is a bit overwhelmed this week. She goes to summer school from 8-12, activity center (school aged daycare) from 12-5:15 and then vacation bible school from 6-8. She's having fun, but I'm really glad that today is the last day of VBS -- she needs the rest. After this week, I think she'll fall into a routine and we'll get a rhythm down but for her to be "going" 12 hours a day is a big much.
My 11 year old is trying to adjust to his summer schedule as well. "Why do I have to do more chores???" :noway: plus he has basketball camp this week. He's actually a bit sore from 2 days of basketball drills but says he's learning alot. Two nights of baseball also.
My church choir has been asked to sing during the Dakota Conference so we have practice tonight and Friday and then perform on Friday. It should be an uplifting ceremony.
@toots -- nice to hear that the plan you have for yourself matches the plan your doctor has for you.
@liz -- have a great time at your family reunion. We have ours this month and they are good times
@kah -- hope your full day of work went okay for you. I understand the desire to help your boss out, but don't over do it. Make sure you get plenty of rest at home.
@Robin -- thanks for the words of encouragement. My husband dropped the kids off where they needed to go yesterday (his work schedule hasn't allowed him to help out this week) so I was able to spend about an hour at the gym and then a half hour at home without husband or kids around. :blushing:
@grandmakaye - you are such an inspiration -- great attitude and great results.
@susan -- UGHH 5:15 -- I hate mornings and am always impressed with people that get up and at 'em bright and early. What a busy day you had!
@jt -- gym time just doesn't always work out -- however, if you cleaned your house, the yard and did baths -- at least you got a workout in...enjoy the homecoming with your husband!!
@Alison -- an outdoor gym?? can't wait to hear more about that (that should work well with the June challenge
)
Didn't meet my goal yesterday for food. I was still under maintenance so at least there's that. Have a great day everybody!!!
Oh by the way -- I found an app that helps me remember to drink water. It's called Water Your Body. You enter how much water you want to drink, add a notation when you finish a glass/bottle/cup of water and it has an alarm to remind you to grab that water bottle. I know most of you are really good at drinking water, but that has been a downfall of mine and hopefully this is just the thing I need to get back on track with it. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Hi all! Haven't checked in in a while. I was really anemic a couple of days ago and just felt awful and unable to do anything. Upped my iron and protein intake and today I finally feel like myself again! :drinker: Yay me!!!! I have given myself until the end of the month before I start to go hard in training and eating clean and mean so I can get LEAN! In three months I'll be in Puerto Rico and I want to be in some version of a bikini and I want to look damned good and feel better! I know I can do it, but I know it won't be easy so folks please keep me in your prayers as well as those around me cause I know in the beginning when I'm detoxing I will not be in a good mood! Happy Hump Day
Wednesday Wish:
To see my boyfriend, he's been working a lot lately and I miss him!:sad:0 -
Happy BIrthday to LAURIE today! Don't know how old she is but she's definitely older! :laugh:
I'm leaving for my BFs today and tomorrow we are driving to Branson, MO and coming back Sat. I hope to talk him into one more day down there just to make all the driving worthwhile! I want to visit a water park and he's on the fence. I won't be taking my laptop so I won't be here until next Sunday.
So be good and behave! 0 -
Have fun!!! You will basically be in my neck of the woods!!! LOL!!! That is a relative term mind you. You have heard of a "country mile", right?!?!Happy BIrthday to LAURIE today! Don't know how old she is but she's definitely older! :laugh:

Good Morning.
I survived yesterday, but took the Flexeril and rested my back all evening while watching my guilty pleasure (So You Think You Can Dance). Doing okay today and brought an herbal rice wrap that you microwave, feels so good on my back – wish I had remembered it yesterday. :ohwell:
Wednesday Wish~That my back will be feeling great by Saturday so I can return to my workout routine (Tom and Beth are kicking my hiney in Fitbit stats)!
Accidentally put my Fitbit through the washer the other day - still works but now I have to charge it every couple of days instead of every couple of weeks. :grumble:
@Robin~Safe travels and enjoy Branson! Angels & Demons is the prequel to The DaVinci Code, the book was excellent.
@Karen~Hooray for reaching the end of the school year, your Zurich trip is SO close!
@Alison~Outdoor gym? How cool! That concept wouldn’t work around here – it’s just too unbearably hot & humid in the summer.
@tlh~I got tired just reading how busy your kids were! Sounds like you found a great app.
@Tammy~Good call on giving your body a rest from the gym, enjoy hubby’s homecoming!
Have a great day!0 -
@kelley--ugh! that sucks about the fitbit, but at least it still works. I know, my trip is SOOOO close, it's freaking me out a bit. My friend and I were going through brochures trying to decided what we want to do for day trips and perhaps one more overnight trip, and it's all so overwhelming. Everything looks so fun and everywhere is just so beautiful--it's hard to narrow choices. The only surety we've agreed upon is we must see cows wearing flowers on their heads. :laugh: There are pictures of of these cows in every brochure and they look so funny--we just must see them in person!
@robin--I thought laurie's birthday was tomorrow, but I'm too lazy to go back and look. :blushing: I'm sure she'll pop in later and clear up our confusion. Have a wonderful trip to Branson!
@caramel--I also need to start working hard for my upcoming trip--I don't need to be in a bikini for Zurich, but there will be lots of hiking in the mountains and I want to be able to enjoy it. You must be so excited about going to Puerto Rico--I've never been, but have heard it's just gorgeous!!
@tracy--that's a great idea for an app! I don't usually struggle to get my water, but I don't have a smartphone anyways, so I guess that's a good thing!
@alison--I agree with you about the weight loss moving down on the priority list--now that I'm in smaller clothes and not feeling terribly fat, it seems less urgent to lose weight. I'm trying to figure out how to move it back up on my "to do" list so I can get out of the 180's and get rid of this roll around my middle. Oh, and upper arms are just the worst! I agree about building some muscle to help compensate, but as rude as her comment was, I fear your friend is right about my arms needing a surgeon. :sad:
@tammy--glad you got the house all ready for the hubs!
@susan--sounds like you are doing great with getting back into the swing of things at the gym! :drinker:
Wednesday Wish:
That I get a LOT done today around the house. It's really a mess--I tend to let things go at the end of the school-year b/c I have that "I'll do it when school's out" mentality. Well, newsflash--school is out and now I need to do it all! Going to make a housework "to do" list to help me along:
To do:
1. Wash throw rugs
2. Sweep floors
3. Vacuum area rugs
4. Scrub bathroom floor
5. Clean rest of bathroom
6. Clear clutter on dining and coffee tables
7. Deal with potted plants
Exercise Goals:
Mon--core NOT DONE but walked gunner instead
Tues--walk gunner DONE (2 walks actually)
Wed--walk gunner + gym
Thurs--walk gunner + gym
Fri--rest
Sat--walk gunner
Sun--walk gunner + gym0 -
Got a bit done. Now heading out to walk gunner and hit the gym. It's National Running Day, so I hope all of you celebrate with a run or at least a nice walk!

Hi everyone. Hope you all are having a great day. Mine has been really nice. We got home from the airport around six and after a little while hubby went to take a nap (he had been up about 24 hours at that point). I took that oppurtunity to go to the gym. After I got home we went into town and picked up some things. We then went out to lunch and then for a nice walk on the waterfront. It has been a really good day. Now I have the joys of WWE wrestling in the background. I have to record all the episodes for him while he is gone:laugh: .
My wish for this wednesday is that the next month goes by really slow. Have a great night everyone. 0 -
Robin, my birthday is tomorrow and I don't mind celebrating early. Thank you for the early birthday wishes. Have a great trip.
Karen-That is a lot of housework to do. Hope you get it all done.
jt- Enjoy the time with the hubby and may the month go slow for you.
Allison and Karen- I also agree with you that weight loss has gone done on my priority list as well. I need to kick it back up again and find my focus and desire to lose more weight. Arms- a good exercise is lat pull down, biceps and tri-ceps machines, rows will also help. You can do the row with dumbbells by pulling the arms in close to the body and pulling the shoulders back.
Another great exercise to help with the waist is a rotation where you are twist at the waist without moving your hips or head. Hint if you don't move your head then your hips won't move. It really focuses on the muscles around the waist. You can put a ball in your hands while you twist or use airplane arms to start.
I had a great workout tonight it was a circuit of strength, core and cardio for 1 hour. Then to finish I climbed all three rock walls at my gym. The best part is I made it to the top of each one.
Wish that the next year of my life will find me back into the healthy weight zone and even more active than I am now. I also wish that tomorrow goes smoothly at school tomorrow.0 -
Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone on here does Zumba? If so, DVD or class? And what do you think of it? Thanks as always for help and input:)0

@jolt--I've not tried zumba b/c I have to pay extra for classes at my gym. However, everyone I know who's tried it seems to love it. I'm using a 30-day free trial at a new gym starting next week, so I may try zumba there.
@laurie--yes, I've always done bicep and tricep machines at the gym and have added upright rows and shoulder presses to my home routine. My problem is I don't do the weights consistently enough to get the results I would like. I have also added the actual rowing machine at the gym and hope that will help as well.
@tammy--sounds like a great day!

Wednesday Wish: If I'm meant to buy a house, the opportunity will open. It's a huge investment and I want to make sure I get what I want. I just know I can be paying about $500 less in a mortgage than this crazy rent. Prices are nuts here. Oh well. I can't let myself get worked up about it.
Food is back under control (thank goodness). I still need to get back into the daily routine of exercise. Today was too crazy with school stuff for Cyrus and needing to make up some work time at home. The plan is to hit the gym in the AM though. I can do this!!!0 -
Wednesday Wish - I could just craw into bed right now and go to sleep(If I do, I'll be up at 4am). 10 hour days, plus errands, plus caring for the house and the sick cat = EXHAUSTED me. Work isn't normal work right now either, the other electrical tech is gone this week so it's just me.... and it was a recall week (meaning we send out automated emails to bring in equipment due for calibration). I was *SLAMMED* today. I felt like a tennis ball in a Wimbledon game...
Food is over again today and it was yesterday as well, but I'm not that worried about it. I did drop a lb (won't change my ticker until a few of its friends tag along) so things are moving.
and... I got to eat a piece of CHICKEN today! I scarfed that little 3oz chunk in record time :blushing: I'll give it a few days and see how my body does. Drank a little extra cherry juice tonight to help push that uric acid out.0 -

Oh man- I'm in the opposite boat as you - I own a home and want out so bad!! So tired of the work and costs of upkeep! Would love to rent. My house needs several repairs I'm trying to get done so I can get it on the market.0 -
I'm leaving for my BFs today and tomorrow we are driving to Branson, MO and coming back Sat. I hope to talk him into one more day down there just to make all the driving worthwhile! I want to visit a water park and he's on the fence. I won't be taking my laptop so I won't be here until next Sunday.
So be good and behave!
ohh i love branson. it's such a fun place. have a good time for us 0 -
I do zumba 3 days a week and love it. Exercise was a fairly foreign concept a few months ago and the zumba class was one of the things that has helped me to change the way I feel.Hello everyone!

Hello Everyone,
The weather is warming up here much warmer night. Our a/c is acting up and only one window has a screen..So I am taking my changes by opening.the bedroom window but need air hopefully wont get eaten up by bugs.
Happy Birthday @Laurie
@Karen The reunion will be in a little town called Streator, IL. But we will spend half of our time in Lostant where my Mom is and. The other half in Naperville with cousins. My daughter is excited about that for we can take the metro into Chicago and do some sightseeing.
@Susan you have a good attitude regarding the house buying and Yay on getting the food under control
@Jt I have a couple of really good friends who love taking zumba classes I haven't tried it yet.
@Robin my Dad love taking our family to Missouri on Vacation. We go to many tourist spots even Silver Dollar City but we never made it to Bronson. Would love to one of these days. Have fun!
If I am missing anyone so sorry my brain is getting foggy. Wishing everyone much success.
Liz from Idaho0 -
Good Morning.
:flowerforyou: Happy Birthday, Laurie!!! I hope you have a fabulous year ahead! :flowerforyou:
@Susan~The housing market is a little unpredictable right now, but I know the right house is out there for you. Have you found a realtor yet? This is a stretch but maybe look on HGTVs website they have so many tools now to help you find the right place – heck maybe you need to be on House Hunters! :laugh: It took me a long time to find my townhouse, but am actually thinking of turning it into rental property and moving into a single family development – there is a new construction happening just a mile from where I am now so may look into it.
@Liz~As a kid I vacationed in MO often, my dad’s parents lived there so we went a couple of times a year.
@Tammy~Enjoy hubby’s time at home, hope the month goes by very slow
@Karen~I think I’d have to find those cows too. I traveled to Germany a few years ago when my BIL was stationed there and was plagued with the same issue – what to do and how do I fit it all in?! I was there for two weeks and made several day trips – I wanted to see as many castles as I could. I know whatever you decide to do you’re going to have an amazing time.
Thursday Truth~Its been a fairly decent week. I’ve not cooked much, have resorted to frozen meals (which I gave up a year ago) since my back has been out – weight has gone down some, which I’m glad to see because I figured lack of exercise would cause a gain. I have tried to eat enough below my calories to compensate for my sedentary week, though. I think I’m about 85% healed, so I’m hopeful to get back in the gym this weekend.
Have a great day!0 -
Hello all,
@Laurie hope you are having a nice Birthday.
Truth Thursday. The truth is I have had a cold this week and have used it as an excuse to eat badly. So tomorrow will be better.
It's winter here so a new outdoor activity might not be so good so will have to find a new indoor one.0 -
Hey everyone!
I know I have been MIA. Have had a lot going on.
But this morning I started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred! I am going to do the whole program.
It felt good to do it this morning. It was wonderful.
Tracking my food today as well.
I start school on Monday, so going to get a little more hecitc. But I got this. I'm tired of it all.
Hope to be able to keep up with you all. But know that I do check in and try to keep up as often as I can.
Have a wonderful day!!
Tina0 -
Good morning all and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURIE!!! :flowerforyou: I'm sure with your dedication your wishes for the next year will all come true. Think of where you already are....an hour of strength, core and endurance and then 3 walls on top of it! Good for you!!
@RobinsEgg -- Hope you are having a great time on vacation (and get a waterpark in too -- love them!!)
@skinnyjeans - Great dent in your to do list!
@jolt -- Zumba. It is such a great calorie burn. I'm exhausted afterwards and then I'm proud of myself that I did it. One thing to remember is that it will take time to learn all the moves. I go to my gym for classes and hope that this summer I move from 1 to 2 classes per week.
@susan -- good luck with your housing (and if you decide to relocate to Sioux Falls, I've got a great house for you in a great neighborhood :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: )
@MyMOwMOw -- hope meat works well for you!
@Tina -- I was doing the 30DS and then quit. You've made me think about it again and remember that I felt stronger while doing it...maybe I'll join you today. Maybe by seeing you do it, I'll stay on the program this time. :happy:
Thursday Truth -- My husband sleeps during the day and works at night and that's been an excuse for me to not tackle cleaning my bedroom. It has become the catch all (in my old house, I had a spare bedroom for that purpose :blushing: ) and its not relaxing anymore. I'm going to ask him to sleep somewhere else and I'm going to get that room spic and span on Saturday. Maybe with a calming place to go, my head won't be so chaotic.
I was able to get 100 squats in yesterday for my "daily challenge." Today the assignment is a 10 minute arm workout that looks pretty good. Then my workout goals tonight is to catch a Zumba class between work and my son's baseball game and to do day one of the 30DS. My diet has been doing pretty good and I lowered my calories as of yesterday so hopefully by getting back on track with my exercise and eating less, I'll see that scale start to move again.0 -
Good morning everyone.
Happy Birthday Laurie
Karen- I hope Boston and Blackhawks make it to the Stanley Cup and sorry but I hope Boston wins :laugh: (not that I am bitter about Blackhawks knocking out the Red Wings
).
Grand Rapids Griffins made it to the finals for the Calder Cup! Go Griffins!!!

Happy birthday Laurie!!!
Thursday truth ... I'm tired and achey and all i want to do is curl up on the couch with a BIG bag of potato chips, a gallon of french onion dip and a dozen carmello bars while i bury myself in Star Trek.
...but i won't. I'm at work and I'm about to dig into my YOPA! yogurt and my half a grapefrut. :laugh:0 -

Good to hear thanks! I'm going to start this weekend; bought the DVD last week only to discover that my HDMI to my BluRay wouldn't work. But will get a new one this weekend:)0 -

Happy Birthday, Laurie. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Truth--I'm just hanging out until I can have my surgery. I'm still counting calories, and going about my daily routine, but every time I try to add some "real" exercise, it bothers my knee or my foot. I'm proof that you can lose weight without a lot of exercise, though. For those of you who are new and wondering how to reach your goals, I have done this with counting calories and walking. I haven't been able to walk for a couple of months due to issues with my knee, but I have still lost some. I started in Oct. last year and lost 50# in the first 5 months. Its slower now, but that's to be expected.
I hope that you all have wonderful day. Good day with the house issues, whether buying or selling. It can be hard.
Kaye0 -
Thursday truth.... Thursday used to be a day I dreaded because it was my TOPS day. I would blow it from Friday to Sunday, start working at it Mon. and Tues., and bust my butt Wed. and Thurs..... That was a road to NOWHERE!!!! Now I can't wait for Thursday evenings because, no matter what the scale says, I have done the work and weight loss is a side effect of good health!!!0
