Back on topic: I lost 0.6 this week, which judging by many of your updates is not to par. Congrats to all of you who have done so well over the past week!

I am very late finding this, but I would like to join your group!

I am brand new to this, am a 381/2 year old wife and mom to a daughter in college and a hormonal 17 yr old son. How I wish they had it together like the Cullens! haha! I work 10 hrs a day and live very rural. (read.. no gym). I am 178 as of this morning and 5'5" tall. I used to be very athletic and the fact that now I can't do the things I want to are really teeing me off. I don't aspire to look like a supermodel (well, maybe Giselle) but rather a fitness model. I want to be able to run, jump, play ball, ski, hike etc. Anything that presents itself. My husband is very fit and I hate being the fat wife. I know I'm rambling, I just need to get this under control so I don't feel like a miserable old housewife anymore. I want to FEEL GOOD, FEEL YOUNG!! Any help would be appreciated!! I am not very computer savvy, so I apologize. Thanks!

I am late joining also, but I would like to join. I LOVE Twilight, the whole series, and anything and everything that goes along with it. I am not for a certain team, I love Edward and Bella together, but I also love Jacob. I think you could have the perfect man if you had Jacob (Taylor Lautners) body and Edward Cullens mind and thinking, his protectiveness and romantics.....Oh, and lets not forget the sparkle....
Anyways, I am overweight and need to lose weight and want to lose weight, so i am hoping that I am successful. I currently weigh 225 and am hoping to at least get down to 180.

Welcome to all the new Twilighters!

Wow, this board has been quiet this week. Welcome to all the newbies (to MFP and to the board). How is everyone doing this week?

Despite my horrid day at work yesterday and today (and TOM), I am preventing it from derailing me. I hit the gym last night and am researching my dinner out tonight. Meeting a friend at TGIFridays so I will go to their website and see what kind of NON-damage I can do!

Hope everyone else out there is doing, and recovering well.

Welcome to he new joiners! Hey!

I'm finally starting to feel better. I had a major migraine on Monday morning that landed me in the ER. It was very odd, I can't even say scary. I was so confused. I was clawing into the floor because I couldn't tell which way was up. Seriously, that was a humbling experience.

Anyway, I hjaven't weighed in this week. I have been eating alot of canned soup and takeout, so I'm not interested in knowing this week:grumble: I'm also .....TMI.....very constipated from the pain meds. Hopefully I'll be better by the weekend and I'll weigh in and count it on Monday. Hope thats fair.

It has been slow on here. How is everybody? Mal, I hate TOM! Good for you for going to the gym anyway! Have fun at TGIFridays! Yumm!

I'm with you! Totally addicted to Twilight, read all 4 books twice and watched the first & second film more than 100 times I also go to Mexico on the 22nd June and come back on the 29th June just in time for Eclipse. Very excited about losing weight for around that time.

GO TEAM GO

Love T x

Hi Newbies! Not doing so good on my calorie count..not gaining or losing..

maryann73

tearose, if it makes you feel any better, I AM doing good on my calorie count and STILL not gaining or losing! :laugh: BUT, we are both trying. I don't know about you, but before I would've been like...screw it! Who cares?? BUT now, we do care, which means we will get through this and when we do, we will be HOT! (At least that's what I tell myself to make myself feel better!)

HeidiRodzen

I don't think I ever checked in on Monday. I'm down another 1.3 lbs. For those not losing (or gaining), keep at it. It helps to get a few workouts in too. I find I plateau if I don't go to the gym or get on the elliptical (regardless of calorie counts). Sometimes rest and then kicking it up a notch helps too.

Hi friends!

Well, TGIF! I think I'm starting to feel better:drinker: Yay! I may be able to work out this weekend and I am staying hopeful! I've been having problems getting in enough calories this past week, but today I am very focused on planning. Its much easier to eat now without the stitches, so I'm hoping getting the calories in will be easier.

I just watched Ellen and her chef make Vegan chilli, mmmmmm. It looked really good! I think I will just have soup for dinner because my daughter is spending the night at grandmas and I have a class tonight. I haven't checked my weight in over a week, but I caught a glimpe of myself in the mirror last night and had to do a double take!

I really miss being tiny:laugh: I still feel little in my mind, but my body does not agree. Its a hard thing to deal with. When I saw myself last night, it was familliar. You know how you see someone you know, but can't place them? Thats what it felt like.

Anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Just wanted to say hello and welcome all the newbies! I hope you enjoy this thread!

I've been doing well this week...but I had a cheat day yesterday, chinese food and alcoholic beverages lol I needed it...but I this morning I realized my body is adapting to healthy food and when I eat crappy stuff my body feels terrible the next day. Yuck!

I haven't been on here for a while.I had been reading the posts but not replying. I was logging in though until last week when I left to go on a cruise I had a great time. I went down103 feet in a sub that was lots of fun. I didn't keep up with my calories while I was on the ship but I made sure I drank my water. I didn't loose any weight this last week but I didn't gain. Now it's back to work.

Hello All,

I know I am about a month behind joining your group but I would love to be part of it. I am a total Twilight fan and can't wait for Eclipse to come out. Definately going to have to do the midnight premiere again. I have read the series twice and plan on going for a third read about the beginning of June. Well I have been a member of MFP for a while lost 15lbs last Christmas 2008 then put it back on plus about 5 more. Then lost 17 this Christmas and put 7 of it back on. I am back on track now and hoping to get all of it off this time and keep it off.

Over all goal - between 120-125

hi everybody,

I've been exercising on the elliptical for a 1/2 hour and it adds 452 more calories to my day. I find that when I exercise I am under my total points, sometimes under my added points. I also started doing ab crunches which take about 15 mins a day. I've noticed that my shirts are a bit loser and my stomach doesn't stick out as much. I've lost 1 pound, but noticed a bit of muscle on my calves and on my arms when I use the arms on the elliptical machine. Also lollypops and gum and lots and lots of water keep the cravings away.

I think Jillian Michaels is trying to kill me....

Hey there crew! I have been a bit busy the last two days with the storm here in Maryland (I am sure you all heard about it) . We ended up getting about 30 inches from Friday night to mid-day Saturday. They are calling it the "heart attack snow" because people are trying to do it all at once when shoveling out and it has caused a few heart attacks. So, I did it in shifts and am now a free woman- though there is no where to go since everything is pretty much shut down! Plus- if I drove off someone would just take my spot and then I would be uber-pissed when I got home later.

Surprisingly, for having been trapped in the house, I have managed to stay under calories. That pleases me. I hope that you are all doing well, having a great weekend, and staying warm if you are anywhere cold!

Is anyone aware of when Eclipse comes out in UK Cinemas? I've heard it's the 8th or 9th July

leavinglasvegas

I actually think my big number is due to my surgery and not being able to eat very much. I haven't exercised in over a week because of that. Now that I'm feeling a litte better, I am up and moving around more. I think I can try something like Wii Fit today. I can't do Jillian right now, lol, that would be suicide.

Tanyewest..... I haven't heard, but you should check stepheniemeyer.com That sucks that it comes out later. You will have to remind us not to post any spoilers for you.

Anybody know when they are going to release the trailer? I'm seriously geting ansy:blushing:

tanyewest

Spoil me all you want! I have read all 4 books about 100 times over (that is quite literally no exaggerration) and seen all the films about that many times.

I am just gutted to find out it comes out a week later in the UK apparently
