@skinny Thanks for the simple answer to my question. I am doing resistance bands at a very basic level, so your answer was just what I needed.
Met goals and walked 7.5 miles today.

Wednesday wish- that my fiancé would really hear me when I say stop bringing me food. I was raised in the "finish your plate" era and it's difficult to turn down or not finish food meant for me- it's far easier not to have it in the first place, but everyday is another restaurant he stopped at on his way home or candy he picked up just for me :-/. I just want him to really hear me when I say stop.0

@mnwalkingqueen - I would try sleeping on it with the coworker problem. After you've had a day to process, then write out what you want to say. That helps me soften things or package my ideas in a presentable fashion when I want to make a point about something without offending. You can write out some of the blunt things you might say when you go in unprepared. Then don't actually use those blunt words!
@skinnyjeanzbound - So sorry to hear the bad news about your friend. I hope that whatever direction they take with her treatment is helpful.
AFM- I'm done with work for several days! Someone walked by my lab tonight and asked if I was living here at the clinic now because she's seen me staying late so much lately! I'm going to enjoy my time off, because I know there will be a lot of work to tackle when I get back. There are several vacancies and FMLA again throughout our system, so I'll be working with the other schedulers to get things covered, and I will be covering for my technical manager while she is away on a two-week vacation. So, even though I promised myself I'm purging this house, I do need to make sure I relax over the next several days.
I already spent two hours talking and laughing with a friend tonight on the phone. Haven't gabbed that long in a while, but her mother is getting married for the third time and is putting her through a hellish wedding dress shopping torture, so there was much to discuss! Ha!
I'm doing well this week on calorie goal, and I was able to get out for a walk over my lunch hour, so I got some (cold!) fresh air and exercise in today.
February:
Calorie Goal- 4/11
Exercise Goal- 4/12
Lift Goal:
Leg Press-180/200
Squats-180/200
Abs- 150/165
Back- 150/165
Triceps- 80/90
Biceps- 80/90

@skinnyjeanzbound - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend-I was hoping for better news. My prayers are with her and her family. I was sweating bullets when it came time for my 1st mammogram after my Cancer treatment, afraid of recurrence in the other breast. That was on 1/31 and I'm still waiting for that call even tho I know that if the results were hinky I would have heard right away. God bless her and help her get through this.
The area that's bothering me isn't my arms, tho they ARE big, it's the side boobage that's driving me nuts. I might as well have 4 boobs! I need to do more research on this I-lipo procedure before I commit.
Wednesday wish- I wish my hubs was healthier so he could do the things he wants to do and used to be able to do. <sigh>!
Did great today, training a new hire at her desk, sat right next to a big jar full of my favorite mini chocolates with her eating them, and never was tempted to sneak one. Then my new manager waived a bag of powdered donuts under my nose and I told her "NO". Then a coworker offered cookies and I didn't even look at them! I feel pretty strong right now! Also, got out and walked on both my breaks, felt good even tho I'm appalled at how weak my legs have gotten. Baby steps, for sure!0 -
Good morning all.
Thursday Truth - I am teetering on the edge. Food is still OK, not great but OK. I am in this Spring weight Loss Challenge at the gym and was hoping for great things but will have to be patient. I am dealing with too many personal issues right now. Son is home, doing pretty well. He wants to go back to work today so I think that is really good. Hubby is the same. I just want to shout at him that "If it is important to you, you will find a way, if not then you will find an excuse." Right now he has nothing but excuses.
@GOINGSTD12 - Yea! On the land mines. (That is what I call those jars of treats)
Also - What helped me greatly with the side boobage was the correct fitting bra. There must be a lingerie store near you that has a certified bra fitter. When I was at my heaviest I paid about $130.00 each for the best bras I ever owned. Too bad I can't take them in, they are so very pretty.
@hansea47 - 5 days off sounds like heaven to me. Make them what you need for you.
@kah68 - Did the car make it home?
@mnwalkingqueen - Great success comes from small efforts repeated over time. It sounds to me like you are doing all you can on the money front. You managed to pay for the car repairs without a credit card or borrowing money. You will be able to refinance in time.
@yasin12 - The boyfriend will get it, hopefully sooner than later. My husband does the same thing. I make him take the food down to the family room then the containers out to the garbage. I tell him "I do not want to smell it, taste it or look at it. Get it out." Be consistent and he will learn you are serious about your food plan.

Something strange happened yesterday. I updated my goals with my current weight and MFP set my calories as 980. What?!? They've been at 1200 for a LONG time (since I have 2 lbs set as my weekly weight loss goal) and I was under the impression that 1200 was supposed to be as low as MFP would set calories. I had to go into Goals and manually set my calories back to 1200. But, does that mean 980 is the number of calories I would actually have to eat in order to lose 2 lbs per week? Not gonna happen, but if that's right it's really depressing to say the least.
On another subject, I decided to start noting my calories, miles walked and weight in my calendar every day. I can find this info on MFP and Map My Walk, but I like the visual of seeing it when I open the calendar every morning. I also added a section in my calendar notes with a weekly weigh in number and pounds to go to my next goal. I also noted some of the reasons why I want to lose weight and some important upcoming events that I want to enjoy a bit thinner. I like to review this page whenever the desire to snack hits me.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning everyone.
Happy Lincoln's Birthday
Lincoln's Birthday is a legal holiday in some U.S. states, including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, New Jersey, and New York. On September 29, 2008, the Senate and General Assembly of New Jersey enacted The Public Employee Pension and Benefits Reform Act of 2008 (Section 36 of P.L.1995, c.259 (C.52:14-17.31a)) eliminating Lincoln's Birthday as a public holiday for the purposes of conducting State government business, an act which also amended and supplemented various parts of retirement and other benefits for certain public employees. It is observed on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth on February 12, 1809.
In other states, a celebration of Lincoln's birthday is combined with a celebration of Washington's Birthday or as part of Presidents' Day. These celebrations occur on the same day as the Federal holiday, the third Monday of February, and not on Washington's or Lincoln's actual birthday.

@cblue- I am sorry for how down life has got you feeling. I will say this though as a single parent of an 18yr old who is doing things I don’t approve of (smoking pot). I have used your son’s story as an example of the consequences of one’s actions on everyone in their life. Assured I haven’t used anyone’s name when talking to my son. I shared it in hopes that he would see I am not just a nagging more and he is not invincible. I will keep you in my prayers.
@Kelmomto3- I like your statement of activity with a purpose
@LaurieK- hope you feel better soon
@Karen- I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your friend. I will keep her in my prayers along with her family. Yes, 1790 is based on 1lb per week. Still a little confused….when looking at the home page should that net total match the goal to lose or as long as the net total is in the green I am fine? Sorry you all know math is hard for me, so I am trying to understand through visual. I always assumed as long as the net was the color green I was in the good but I am not sure that was accurate.
@Hansea- Glad you and your friend had good conversation
@Goinstd- Congrats on resisting temptation
AFM: Thursday truth for me is realizing I need to grow more of back bone with my recently adult son. I tend to walk on egg shells with him because I don’t want him to storm out and leave being he can’t take care of himself in any way right now. He has no clue because he doesn’t listen on how hard life would be without my help.

I just want him to really hear me when I say stop.
It sounds like your fiance's love language is gifts, while yours is...not. At least not gifts of food! You might try telling him that you love that he's constantly thinking of you and suggest another way to "gift" you than by bringing food. Going for a walk together? Bringing you flowers? Taking out the trash?
@skinnyjeanzbound - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just be there for someone going through such a difficult time.
@mnwalkingqueen - I go by the "net = green = good" visual as well, but am starting to think that's not the best approach for me because I'm eating back all of my exercise calories. My calorie goal is set to my TDEE, which I believe already takes my activity level, including exercise, into account. I've decided to aim for my TDEE calorie goal for a while, not eating back exercise calories, and see what happens.0 -
@holly--on your home page the total that says "net" underneath should be as close to 1790 as possible. Red or green doesn't really matter. For example, 1791 would be red, but would still be great. On the other hand 850 would be green and would be terrible for your body if it happened consistently.0

Thursday Truth - MFP told me today that I have logged food for 99 days without a miss. My own records show I've logged 167 days without a miss, but there was a time when I'd log all at once instead of meal by meal ... and logged after midnight one day. During that period, I'd write my food in a paper journal as the day went on and then log it all a once. In fact, I've been tracking my food for 6 years now.
No personals today ... got a late start on the day and have much to do.
February challenge ... 11/11 for calories at goal. ALL-in on exercise, doing the PT every day but haven't been to the gym
Follow-through

Thursday Truth: I have relied on fast food a lot over the past month. While I'm used to being busy with activities, this daily practice/game for Jacob's basketball has kicked my tush. We've also had to add in doctor appointments. He hurt his hand a week ago during a ballgame...it was so bad that he actually cried in front of his teammates (that's saying a lot for a 13 year old boy). We headed to the walk in clinic and they took an Xray and said he broke the joint in his thumb. They then referred us on to a plastic surgeon since those types of injuries need to be monitored so there aren't issues with mobility in the future. That doctor said it's NOT broken but we do go back again tomorrow. Emma will be done with basketball this weekend and Jacob can't play so hopefully I'll find a new groove.
I'm finding it's harder now that my husband is home to eat well. We used to have chicken and turkey a few times a week but my husband is allergic to all poultry. Now that he's home for supper each night, that changes it to pork and beef. Expensive and higher calories. We need to figure something out.
Fast food leads to over eating for me and this absolutely needs to stop. I'm sick of coming on here and saying this but I just cannot get in the groove. Well, I guess it's back to the old mantra...START AGAIN.0 -
You're all doing so great! I wish I had more time to reply to everyone but for now I'll just follow along. I've had a good week. Home life was extra busy with both of our high school daughters participating in Winter Carnival week, but I haven't had to cook many big dinners and that helps me immensely! I'm hoping for another 2lb loss this week, but better than that is how much better I feel. You all help motivate me with your great ideas and inspirations! Thanks
I totally agree with this sentiment and practice keeping a calendar also . . .Lives2Travel wrote: »On another subject, I decided to start noting my calories, miles walked and weight in my calendar every day.

Karen- thanks so much and I was doing it wrong this whole time. I have been trying to keep my need around 1000 to 1200 calories most of the time. I will try your suggestion and see what happens.

@NK1112 Congratulations on logging for 167 days! That is awesome!!
@mnwalkingqueen - I hope that your son will come to an understanding that you are only trying to help him thrive in this world. I only have little ones right now. For the moment, they listen to me. I have heard that "listening" goes out the window when they become teenagers and beyond. So, I can only imagine what you are going through. Sending strength vibes your way!
@Lives2Travel - I agree with you. 980 seems like an unhealthy daily calorie intake. I'm glad you set it back to 1200. I would think that with exercise, you will be able to lose 2lbs a week. But maybe i'm wrong? ITA that being able to "see" a visual representation of how far you've walked, how many calories burned and daily intake of calories is a great motivator! It's one of the reasons I love my Fitbit.
@cblue315 - If you can push yourself to go to the gym, you might start to feel better. I know it's hard to work out when you aren't feeling your best though.
AFM - I weighed myself this morning and lost 4lbs! I got back on track with weight loss mid-last month but it has been kind of a roller coaster with my health, etc. Over the last 2 weeks, I have started to feel better and it shows in the choices i've been making with the foods I eat. I really need to get back to working out on a regular basis though. I feel better when I work out -- less stressed and more at peace overall.
Goal: Work out for 20 minutes at least once a day.

So close weighing today I stood on the scale to see a 2 to no avail. 300.0.0

Hi all!
@kelmomto3 - Woohoo! Way to go!
@silver12176 - Hang in there! You'll hit that milestone soon!
AFM, I'm having a better day. Realized this morning that Aunt Flo is on the way, and she always brings her friends Lethargy Lola and Crabby Pants McGee. It's milder this month, which is why I didn't pick up on it right away.
I'm still having to force myself to do things, but I made it to the gym for cardio + strength training this afternoon, and have made some progress on my writing assignments.0 -
Happy Thursday everyone! My three lovely days off from work has come to an end and its back to the grind tomorrow. Today, hubby and I accomplished a big project that we had started a few weeks ago. We had bought three big collage frames for our hallway and spent the afternoon taping all the family pics that we love the most into them. They look great and bring back so many wonderful memories.
@Skinny, I’m so very sorry to hear about your friend. It’s just heartbreaking news and no words I can offer would do. However, I can and will offer a prayer to the only One I know who can work a much needed miracle.
@hansea, enjoy your time off. You deserve it!!
@GOINSTD12, good for your for saying no to all that temptation!! Work is my biggest downfall because there is always some reason to have food brought in that I shouldn’t be eating. This weekend being President’s Day already has me a little stressed. I just have to be strong and say NO!!
@tlh0407, it is hard to get in the groove, but you have the right idea about starting again. It’s when you give up entirely that you really get in trouble. I understand your hubby needing to eat meat every night, but can you substitute for yourself and have a couple of nights where you go vegetarian?. It a great way to cut the calories and up the nutrients!
@kelmomto3, congrats on losing 4 lbs!! That is awesome. (*) (*) (*)
Thursday truth: I feel really great! This is my second week of consistant exercise and I’ve been able to up the intensity, which is nice. My weight is slowly moving downward. Tracking calories is becoming a habit and not so much of a chore. I looked at success pics on the forum of peole who had lost 35 to 50 lbs and was really blown away by how great these people looked. I’ve lost 22 lbs since last June and my husband says he can tell and see a difference in the shape of my body. This has motivated me big time. I really want to get another 20 off and then take some pics to really see the difference. Just gotta keep on working hard and I will get there!!

What's AFM???
Thursday Truth: I had to go to Walmart tonight to pick up a couple prescriptions. I had my scrips & was heading out the door when I decided to stop at the cards & read some Valentines ones. Next isle over was the candy isle. I wondered over into it & before I realized it I had cherry hearts, cinnamon hearts, a bag of snickers, a bag of peanut M&M's & a bag of Hershey kisses in my cart. (Why did I have a cart??? Because subconsciously I knew I wanted to buy something!!!). Now I'm in line, where it's taking what seems like forever when a 4 meat & cheese tombstone pizza lands in my cart. I was all ready to check out, when I said to myself, WHAT AM I DOING???!!! After a few arguments with myself, I put it ALL back, left the store with my scrips, came home & walked 2 miles! I feel amazing! I am proud of myself. Today is day 4, of eating better & drinking more water!
Another busy day @ work tomorrow but some well deserved R&R this wkd! Looking forward to spending time with my BF!!!
Take care all!0 -
Kapansm, good for you!! That is exactly the kind of self-control I want for myself. You realized what you were doing and you stopped it.
I have this sign on my desk that says "The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now."
You did that!!! 0 -
Can I vent? I hate Valentine's Day at work. I love the generosity of spirit most of my co-workers exhibit, I just wish they would find other ways to express that generosity than with sweets and candy. Really- you just have to shove candy, cookie, and cupcakes in my face? Ha, well I will not give in! So there! Get thee hence, evil sugar!0
-
@kap--great job putting all of that stuff back!! AFM stands for "As for me..."
@theresa--Sounds like you are doing great!! I know for me, I could see it on the scale and feel it in the way my clothes fit, but I didn't start to really see a difference in my body until I had lost about 30-35 lbs. You are getting really close to that moment where one day, you will catch a glimpse of your reflection in a mirror or a window, and be stunned at the difference. I can still distinctly remember when I had that moment. I had just donated blood and was walking into the starbucks next door to the lifesource. As I approached the door, I saw a woman coming out and started to move out of the way--then I realized it was me!! I looked so much thinner in that accidental glimpse than when I looked in the mirror every day. It's amazing the tricks our mind plays on us. We get so used to a certain body image, that even when our bodies physically change, we still expect to see the "old" image, and that's what we see.
@melissa--glad you are doing better. Great job getting so much done despite not feeling like it.
@silver--don't give up!! You will get there!
@kelmom--way to go losing 4 lbs!!
@holly--Yeah, if you have a day here or there when you drop below 1200 net, that's not a problem, but your body needs a certain amount of food to fuel your metabolism. If your 1 lb/week allowance is 1790, that would mean a 2 lb/week loss would put you at 1290. In my personal opinion, that should be your minimum--and only if you really aren't hungry.
@tracy--sorry things are so crazy right now. My DH and I often eat different foods for our meals. I'm sure it's a bit harder with a family, but could you cook up a batch of chicken once a week, so you have some lower calorie choices some of the nights? Also, do you eat much fish? Many varieties are as low or lower in calories than chicken or turkey. I eat a lot of tilapia and swai--very easy to cook and relatively low cost.
@niki--wow! what a great streak!! Keep going.
@L2T--well, 980 may be the calories you would need to lose 2 lbs/week b/c your weight is too low to really have that as a goal. I am also surprised that MFP set your calories that low--I also thought it always defaulted at 1200.
@lori--hang in there. Taking care of yourself is the best thing you can do for your family. I know it sounds selfish, but it's the truth.
@goins & all of the rest of you who sent your well-wishes and prayers for my friend--thank you for your kind words and thoughts. It is so very sad and we are all still hoping for some good news and trying to maintain an optimistic outlook. It's just so hard for her b/c of all she's already been through. She really thought the choice to have the double mastectomy would spare her having to go through this again--it's so unfair.
@yasin--I went through the same thing with my husband. He is the primary cook in our household, and no matter what I said, he would still make high-calorie dishes for dinner. That didn't change until I started just saying no, or only eating very small helpings. He would sometimes get his feelings hurt as if I were insulting his cooking, but I would just say, "it doesn't fit my calorie allowance." It took awhile, but he finally got it and started cooking healthier versions of the meals or giving me a day or two's notice if he planned a higher calorie dinner, so I could adjust my meals earlier in the day. Just stick to your calorie allowance, and your fiance will get it eventually.
Thursday Truth:
Still not getting enough sleep and my food has been pretty crappy, but at least my weight is holding steady.
Today was our Charity Bash assembly at school. Our charity this year is St. Baldricks which raises money for children's cancer research. We had a couple of speakers and listening to them describe their experiences battling cancer was rough--especially given the news about my friend.

Kapansm-Great conversation with your yourself and to have the control to put it all back. I often have those same conversations with myself. There are times when I win and others when the sweets win. I have learned not to go shopping when I am hungry or feeling stressed since I go for the junk food first.
Goinstd12- Do you best to ignore the candy and sweets, it will be a challenge but you can do it.
Silver- you will see the 2's before you know it.
Skinny- Prayers for your friend. I learned of a friend's son last night who survived severe injuries to the point that the doctors at Shock Trauma did not hold out hope that he would last through the first night. He got flipped in an ATV. However, he has come through and is now at home using a walker. He had divine intervention and the power of prayer from many sources.
Thursday truth- Because I have felt lousy all week therefore my food choices have not been the best this week. I am feeling more alert tonight but earlier today I was exhausted. Because of this I have been eating more junk food this week. I will get back on track. Tomorrow, I am climbing, which will be great after taking the last three days off. I will do something on Saturday morning just not sure what.
Sunday-Bike DONE
MOnday- Trainer DONE
Tuesday- REST- Done
Wednesday- Rest (did not feel like swimming) DONE
Thursday- Gym-NOT DONE Rest day
Friday- Climbing
Saturday-Gym
I am thrilled that I have a 2 hr delay tomorrow morning due to the extreme cold and wind chills below 0. I am going to enjoy the extra sleep and rest.
Wishing everyone a happy Friday.0 -
Do we make our own goals? I'm just wondering how to reply with it being my first post. 0

I think I'm a bit behind the 8-ball because a couple of people have already posted their February goals .... here it is, as promised.
MONTHLY “ALL IN” CHALLENGE for February 2015:
Are you new to ‘Need to Lose 100 LBS - Robin’s Thread’ ??? … know that just by posting you have joined in and can participate as you will. We welcome you. ‘Rule’ - None of the standards or challenges are mandatory. The ‘challenges’ are with yourself only. You are the only one who keeps track of how you are doing. So please, Do Give an account of your challenge and how you are doing.
Suggestions: copy this post so you have it on your computer or desk top as a reference. Our FEBRUARY ALL-IN Challenge is EXERCISE.
We already focus on the calorie aspect of weight management. The other component to weight loss is … exercise!
All kinds of exercise is good exercise … anything that keeps you active that you WILL DO is what to pick. Here are the kinds of exercise that got enthusiastic responses from the ‘members’. … Pick your choice as your personal challenge.
1 … weight/strength training with weight machines, free-weights, heavy-lifting.
2 … body resistance with no weights, with food cans/juice jugs, tension cords/exercise bands
3 … non weight-added exercise, but a focus on some type of formal active body movement with goals (Walking, Yoga, Pilates, Calisthenics, Biking, Swimming, Physical Therapy, etc.)
Select the exercise you will focus on (suggested above or one of your own ideas), how often you will participate in it, and what your goal with that might be. We also will continue our standard of “watching our calories” and reporting our goal and our achievement of coming within 100 calories of our MFP caloric goal.

Thursday Truth - I just finished logging for today and realized that I ate at Braum's (local fast food chain) for EVERY MEAL today. EVERY MEAL. What the crap?!? That's poor planning is what that is. Ugh.0

@yasin12 - The boyfriend will get it, hopefully sooner than later. My husband does the same thing. I make him take the food down to the family room then the containers out to the garbage. I tell him "I do not want to smell it, taste it or look at it. Get it out." Be consistent and he will learn you are serious about your food plan.

Thank you! I know he will. It takes time, and I know he means well- we both come from families who show love, in part, by feeding you.0 -
Alright I am confused. I was in changing my macros and hit the to lose 2 lbs per week which is the same as it was, but when I got out my daily cal intake decreased. Does anyone know why?0
