I think it's best to move on to week 5...if you feel it's too hard...don't go back..just run slower...i know that is hard to do but truly it really works...i am not running that fast..more like 4.0 - 4.5 and towards the end of the 25 minutes i made sure, the last 2 minutes, to crank up the speed to 5.5 - 6...and by that time i feel everything that Jillan chants...
But i've got to say i feel so good afterwards
The point is your body will tell you what pace is good for you...but also challenge your body..good luck and i know for sure you will achieve it:bigsmile:
You're right. I moved onto week 5 day 1 and finished strong! :bigsmile: I did awesome through the first 2 run intervals and only started struggling a little for the last minute of the 3rd. I think I'm going to go ahead and do w5d2 Saturday even though that 8 minute run makes me nervous. :drinker: And I'm not even going to think about the 20 minute run that comes with w5d3. I'll try it if all goes well with w5d2 but running 20 minutes straight just seems nuts to me right now. :noway:
Glad you were able to figure out your dilemma, Momma!

I saw 58 calories, but I actually have 158 cals left. So I panicked for nothing:laugh:0

WARNING: GIRL INTERRUPTED (BY MEDS AND WEIGHT GAIN) - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
If I don't lose tomorrow I will be beside myself with grief. And the sad part is, I know already I did not lose. NOT because of overeating, but because of undereating. Exercise calories? Pshaw. I can't even fit in the pre-exercise calories! Because I am HUGE, I get 2400 calories a DAY. A DAY, folks. On an average I eat 1700 of them. Things were fine until the last four weeks, where I started going round and round with the same four pounds. Another reason I know I did not lose- I don't FEEL like I have lost. You know, that wonderful feeling when your stomach doesn't feel bloated and instead it feels squishy. I don't have that. My stomach is distended like a third world country woman's stomach.
I am too petrified to eat 2400 calories. And I bet most of us on here would be, too. And then, top it off with 700 exercise calories a day. Sometimes this is so overwhelming I want to cry. But what is my option - sit around at 400 pounds? Can't do that anymore. Didn't work well. So I just go day to day trying to make good choices and keep my calories high enough to not freak out my metabolism, which is so shot already from the hundreds of diets I have put it through, it's no wonder it won't let me lose any more weight. Add in ANOTHER two weeks of antibiotics for the second round of pneumonia and you have me: ultra-morbidly-obese-panic-stricken-angry-at-myself-for-getting-here-me.

Jenn: Happy One Year Anniversary!!! Look at all you have accomplished. Wow thanks for your inspiration that it can be done slow and steady. Your ticker looks like you are half way to your goal. Wooh wooh.
jlb123: You made me laugh at your campaign ad for Kroger's. I think you are on to something.
momma2four: Good job on counting your calories before you ate. That 100 calories you had is a wonderful surprise when you think you are out of calories.
Calories: No over 222
Water: yes
Exercise: yes
Proud: ? Very disappointed that I went over on calories. I thought as I dished up, 'oh I exercised I can have this" I shot myself in the foot on this one. I still have a ways to go on estimating my servings.
I don't weigh everyday, so I'm anxious to see what the scales have to say in the morning. Good evening all.0 -
bluenote: You are in a good place, you are trying and making healthier choices for yourself. It will pay off. In a year from now when you look back you will be sooo glad that you stuck with watching what you eat and exercising. This is a lifestyle change! You don't feel your best and that really dampens your outlook. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery from pneumonia that your body can regain its full strength. Don't be too hard on yourself. Listen to your body and rest and drink lots of water. You are doing well, stick with this and you will see results. Feel better soon. HUGS0
-
bluenote, You have made such huge strides. You have accomplished sooo much so far. DoNOT fret. DO NOT let this side track you from your ultimate goal. You can do this. Can you get to 2000 cals a day? That may help.0

Okay. I think I feel a TOM coming. I'm pretty flippin' bloated tonight (and also nauseous for the 3rd night in a row which could really really freak me out if I let it but I'm not). So, although TOM may ruin my weigh-in this week, you won't hear me complain if it does!

Calories: 1283
Exercise: 30 minutes stationary bike C25K W5D1
Water: Over 100oz
Proud: C25K W5D1, baby! :bigsmile:0 -
I'm trying not to eat my exercise calories because I'm keeping my eating calories at a higher amount 1500 vs 1200, so if I eat my exercise calories, I'm really going over what I should.0

WOW I finanally caught up on all the posts!0

Thanks all, I am going to force myself to the 2000 mark. I am learning more and more about whole foods and I know this is the way to go.
Yes, I am learning! Is that why I got a :noway: from you on the other thread? I am smart enough to know an apple is a better choice than a cupcake! :laugh:

you guys. Please be patient with me. 0 -
above was a reply to the question: where do you find fish and chips at 4 in the morning.....
I'm off track today, ate a lot of sweets, i'm no fan of chocolate but tiramisu and aero mousse are my weaknesses.....and it seems I lack ambition....darn
Well I'm glad you don't live near me because I'd be knocking at your door at 4am with a plate! So, let me ask, where are you from? I can tell by the date you set in your goals that "you're not from around here"....0 -
hello gals -
Bluenote - chin up..I know it seems tough, but you will do it. I agree try to eat a little more, i know it seems like a lot, but you are burning more too, my husband is on 2000 / day and he usally hits it pretty good. Remember load up on fruits and veggies...even through in some almonds and stuff if you need to boost your cals. (if you like nuts).
I am sooooo pooped. I stopped working at 4:30 and it was soo freaking hectic today..and feel tomorrow will be the same., then we went and got the girls....My 6 yo got all pefect marks...I am like what...part of me doesn't belive she was that good, but not bad marks and it was her teacher there today...went to subway for dinner, came home, hubby cleaned the kitchen and i have been upstairs (for the last 3 hrs) doing laundry and packing suitcases. Girls are in bed, hubby went to cvs to get diapers and a few other things...still need to pack more, and wrap christmas presents.
Still have to work all day,then we are out of here at 4. We are very glad though it is only a 3 hr trip (we just moved back here to tx from memphis, where it used to take us 9 hrs to go see any family). So 3 hr going to be a breeze in the park.
I am hoping my scale is nice to me in the morning .....the sandwich i had at subway just feels like it has lots of sodium in it...as long as it is less than last week i will be happy0 -
bluenote - Eat those calories! It was in a tough spot at the beginning too. I was 311 pounds and wanted to lose so bad, and I wanted to eat really healthy, but I knew it was healthier to just have a 1000 cal a day deficit. I was so motivated to lose the weight that I would have been happier with less calories, but its not the way to go. A 1000 calorie deficit is plenty, heck enjoy the extra calories well you still have them, because soon enough you will only be allowed 1400 and you will wish for a few more LOL.0

I agree with jen...when you loose weight and they take calories away from you , you will be wishing for those days
I have not lost near the amount jenn did but when I started I had 100 more than i do now.
Check in
cals - 1755 - over normal cals, but under exercise calories
water - nope...not nearly enough
Exercise - 30 minute on wii at lunch
Proud - We had lots of running to do and nothing to cook and we decided to go grab something, we said we would go to subway, then subway was right next to this italian place we love to go too..we looked at it and even though it sounded yummy, we opted for subway.0 -

Guess i am the 1st to weigh in this morning.
The scale was not as great as i had hoped.
Was only 285.00 this morning..now it is a loss of 1.5 lbs this week but it was lower yesterday but i know i had lots of sodium yesterday at subway so i am sure there is lb of water weight in there.
But 1.5 is great so i will take that.

Bluenote: please hang in there…it will get better. Find out what’s best for your body whether it’s 2000 calories or 1400 calories..yea the website is suppose to help but also you body won’t lose if you don’t treat it right…it will tell you. I have been down the road of losing 2 pounds one week and then the following week I gain them..and it was this endless cycle..until I understood that my body needs this amount of calories and if I don’t give it what it needs then I won’t see the results I am looking for ( 1.5 a week).
Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon..
We are in this together..you are not alone..i thank everyone for their support on this journey…it is not easy to do this alone.0 -

I didn't add the 5 pounds i gain during last weeks TOM...just what i have lost after Tom was gone ( 2 days ago) and the 5 pounds are gone with it..I wasn't expecting a lose because i NEVER lose right after TOm is gone...i was in shock:noway:

Way to go, Coloradogirl!! Biggest loser so far! :flowerforyou:
In other good news, I freaked out & peed on a stick this morning and it was negative. :laugh: PHEW! ...Which I'm sure will not be my boyfriends reaction when he sees the pregnancy test wrapper I just remembered I left in the trashcan but no pregnancy test because I brought that to work to throw away without thinking about that darn wrapper... I guess I'm in for a funny conversation later especially since when I said I was queasy last night he asked if I was pregnant. :laugh:
I guess TOM's a week late in order to set itself up perfectly to ruin both my 3 day weekend for MLKjr day AND to ruin Valentine's Day (which falls on another 3 day weekend thanks to President's Day).
I seriously don't understand how TOM manages to do it. It has ruined EVERY vacation day and holiday from work EXCEPT New Year's for the last 8 months. And the only reason it didn't ruin New Years was that it was so busy ruining Christmas week it couldn't keep it up for another week. Is a little time off work without cramps & bloating really too much to ask? :sad: :sad: :sad: (sorry)0 -
Weight this morning was 250.2 - I also realized that the last time I recorded was just before Christmas. I'll post % change next week and count this week as week 1. Since TOM began yesterday, I'm hoping to do well this time next Friday.
Yesterday:
Water: 10 cups
Calories: 119 under
Exercise: Only if doing laundry counts.
Proud of - all of my laundry is clean, all of my bills are paid, and we've eaten in for dinner every night this week (including tonight, dinner is already planned).0 -

last week - 246.5
this week - 243.8
lost - 2.7 pounds

Blue note I know how frustrated you are believe me I am there with you this week.I believe one reason you may not have lost anything is because your still sick and your body is holding on to some water weight in case you get dehydrated from being ill.Two you know your doing everything right and your eating well balanced meals so I wouldn't worry.As far as exercise calories go my doctor informed me that at my weight (234) it was not necessary for me to eat my exercise calories because I need to burn more than I am eating to get the weight off.Once I get closer to my goal weight I can add in a few more calories because I will need more to maintain my new weight because I am smaller,active and need more fuel.(Instead of being fat,inactive,and always eating and the food having no where to go and turning into FAT) I hope this makes since.My doctor told me to keep my calories right around 1200-1400 calories a day even with exercise.I am not telling you to follow what I am doing but I do believe what you are doing is the right way.Keep it up we will both see results next week because we will be feeling better and I will be exercising again I HOPE!!!WARNING: GIRL INTERRUPTED (BY MEDS AND WEIGHT GAIN) - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
