congrats on your weightloss this week...WTG
For all of you that lost wTg and for those who didn't (including myself ) we are sticking to this and it will come off..
Funny thing i got up weighed, it was 284.8, then i got on later it was 283.9..i would of loved to see that 1st thing but i am going to stick with my orginal...the scale has been bouncing around there lately...i can't wait to get under 280....
My husband laughs at me...i still wear my size 26 pants...they really are too big, but they are very comfy...but when i walk up/down the staris in our house they fall down...lots of time they are on the ground when i come downstairs unless i am holding them up...haha...0 -
lildebbie: .2 is a loss, I'm happy for you girl. Did you learn anything at your Dr. appt. or are you waiting for test results?
I just had my yearly exam..oh fun, so just routine bloodwork. They won't let me know anything unless it is off. I am curious thought last time i had blood work my chol was high..i am hoping it is back down since i am eating lots better now...Funny though i look at my results that i had (oct 08) my weight was 297, october 2009 310 , now 285...so only like 12 lb less , but i still think the eating good meals and not fast food all the time should help with that.0 -
Good morning!
motherofabishai: Welcome. I love your explanation because someday I want a daughter named Kyla. I love that someone else thinks the way I do!
lildebbie: Regarding your HRM strap, make sure it's snug but not too tight. If it's not snug enough, it will stop reading your heart rate when doing floor work such as push-ups and ab work. Oh, and your story about your pants made me think of "Pants on the Ground" from American Idol. Thanks for the giggle.
jlb: I saw that you want to lose 8 lbs. before Valentine's Day. I'm with you on that one!
I've had no change in weight, so I'm at 0% for this weigh-in.
Stats for yesterday 1/22/2010:
Calories: 327 left over
Water: 40 oz.
Exercise: Cleaning the house for an hour.
Proud: That I really wanted to snack on junk food yesterday but didn't!0 -

I always wanted to have a daughter named Miranda, I heard that name and fell in love with it when I was 19 yo. My best friend and I were fighting over this name. So we agreed who ever got the first girl could take that name. Well when I was 22 I got pregnant and I told the babies father if it was a girl I wanted to name her Miranda, he said No!!!! I could not bear the thought of not having a Miranda. On my 23 birthday I gave birth to a 4 week premature baby girl who was gorgeous. Her father and I named her Miranda Kae. He listened and did what I asked and we are still together today
. I let him name the second girl and he did a good job. Haley Marie.
Because I claimed that my baby was so gorgeous I put her pic as my profile....

Thanks ...i used it today and it was a bit looser but did feel sometims like it would fall off...it was still reading my hr...maybe someone in the middle.
I am glad I made you giggle
My vday goal is 279..depending on the minute anywhere from 4- 6 lbs..
My scale is annoying me (but in a good way)..i admit i am a scaleaholic...but anyway...this morning got up 284.8..okay..i am fine with that 1 hr later i was 293.9 (did go to the bathroom again and such), so i am like okay...I had lunch and a snack and i am down to 282.4...not that i don't like my #'s going down but hello...it would of made more sense for me to higher after lunch...oh well...
I am getting ready to go get my baby and take her to the speech therapy evaluation. I hope it goes well.0 -
I am very saddened...a 9 yr bold in my city hung himself in the nurses bathroom at school. It is soo very sad, i can't even imagine what his parents are going through....
It wasn't at my daughter's school but at another one in town...it just make me soo sad, why a 9 yr old would think of this. 9yr old boys are supposed be riding skateboards, playing video games and do what 9 yr olds do...not this.
Please keep this family in your prayers, i know they will be in mine.0 -

lildeb - oh how truly tragic. It breaks my heart to hear of such sad news. I have a thirteen yr. old student in my 6th grade who recently tried to commit suicide. He was taken out of school and is in a hospital right now. I am sad every day I see his empty seat, because I never saw any signs. I can't imagine how this nine year old's family must feel, plus the teachers, students, and staff. The frightening aftershock is that quite often children in the school imitate this action, so I pray they all receive counseling.0

Yes i know, it is just tragic. I just can't imagine how his parents feel. I know they had counselors at the school today and some of the kids went home.0 -

Not the best of weeks, in the end.
Yesterday: 1-21-10
Calories - Over
Water - on the money
Exercise - none (walkus interruptus, inopportune help desk call at work)
Proud of - Made it through the day
Today:
Weigh in - 250.2 - zero % lost. Salt and stress on the day before weigh-in isn't exactly the smartest strategy. With work stress (we've been fighting a bad, bad computer virus on our network since Tuesday afternoon, and I'm on the Help Desk, hooray) and the culmination of some stuff around the house, I decided that I wasn't going to lot my food today - what's sad about that is I didn't actually eat much at all - but I'm staying fixed to the original determination from this morning. Doesn't make sense to take a day "off" and then record everything anyway. Better luck next week, more apples, etc. Yay.0 -
so.... what is the word on this weeks challenge????0
-
I don't remember the last time I was able to check in ... probably Tuesday ... it's been a crazy week at work and at home. I did great with exercise all week ... at least an hour for 1000+ calories every day except Wednesday (took a day off). But I haven't been feeling well all week, and not eating well either (which is probably contributing to not feeling well). But I did got down .8 from last week ... but since I don't think I ever reported that (which was a gain) ... I'm going with 0% loss this week at 239 ... been kind of holding steady right around there for awhile now. I know what I need to do ... change my food habits - it's just not that easy.
Anyhow checking in for today:
calories: didn't eat enough most of the day so made the mistake of pigging out on pizza just now .... am under on calories because of exercise though
exercise: FANTASTIC! turbokick this morning
water: not so good
proud: of all the exercise I've been fitting in ... even though it was a very busy week. I fit into a sweatshirt that I bought 3 years ago from my kid's elementary school and it has always been too tight around the belly and hips (made for a man) ... but today I am wearing it and it looks fine ... even though my weight has been staying the same I must be toning up:happy: . I need to get out the measuring tape and see the progress.
I didn't have time to catch up on everyone's posts but I did see your post lildebbie about the 9-yr old boy in your town ... my heart breaks for that family ... I have a 9 year old and that is really scary, and so sad.0 -
calories - 1680 - over but under with ex calories
Exercise - 468 cals burned (i know this with my new HRM Doing wii fit + and ea active
water - nada...i need to work on that
proud - i am proud that i am back on track...and 270's here i come.0 -
check in:
cals: a wee bit under but the night is still young! (OK not really it is 10:30pm LOL)
water: 80
exercise: 40 mins bike
proud: today another teacher commented on my weight loss. I was walking down on her end of the hall (which I never do because I used to get so out of breath), and she said, "You are just wasting away!" It made me feel good (even though I am sooooooooooooooo not wasting away! LOL)0 -
check in for Friday
Calories.. did very well did not eat most of my exercise calories
Exercise.. 82 minutes
Water.. a little shy
Proud.. I am making better decisions about what and when I am putting food in my mouth!
I am heading to work this morning.. have a couple of clients, then home to get the house cleaned (my dad and step mom are coming on Sunday) I am so excited!
Have a great day!0 -

OK folks! Are we ready for this weeks challenge? I have two ideas but I'm going to go with the one that is more weight loss focused
:yawn: Studies have confirmed a direct tie between sleep quality and weight loss:glasses: . No matter how great a person might feel after 4 hours of sleep (not this person!) the bell curve on sleep has steep sides and a long flat (edited to add the important FLAT part!) tail - which means that almost all of us need at least seven hours of sleep each night:ohwell: .
I have sleep apnea and I have to use a CPAP machine (it's cool! I like it now!). I've had multiple sleep studies done so now I know that even when I think I'm laying there awake, I am probably in at least stage one sleep which as pathetic as it is STILL COUNTS AS SLEEPING TO OUR BRAIN! SOOOOO even if you don't FEEL like you're sleeping and it feels like you're just tossing and turning, you're still doing more for your brain than if you watch TV of surf :happy: (honest!) I know what you're thinking(:huh:) but it's TRUE:bigsmile:
Our Challenge this week is to get SEVEN HOURS OF SLEEP each night. I know - there are kids and there are jobs and there's LIFE but the GOAL is to get into bed so that you will be in a dark room with no TV or reading and your eyes clamped shut 7 HRS BEFORE you're alarm goes off!
AND on our daily check-ins we'll add Sleep this week! :yawn: To keep us focused!
How does that sound? I have plan B if you hate it

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Checking in for Friday-
Calories - over by about 400 (sneaky calories!)
Water - under
Exercise - ZERO (which is why I was over in calories!)
Proud - I had a pretty good day at work. I was called into a meeting about a computer issue that ended up being a big deal and it was top secret and my boss WASN'T invited in nor given any details *smrik*. I think I'm surviving his attacks and maybe even coming out of it with an improved reputation :bigsmile:0 -
01.22.10
Calories: 1241
Exercise: Nope... It's officially a habit -- sleeping in 30 minutes on Fridays instead of exercising. Habit will be broken this week.
Water: 80+
Proud: When I said I wasn't going to buy another pack of cigarettes many weeks ago, I meant it & I haven't. Not that I was becoming a "smoker" again, but I'm glad to know I can see it beginning to become a habit and stop it before it goes any farther. That lets me know I've got pretty decent control of it even if I do buy a pack or 2 a year. I really don't think it's any worse than drinking socially. You just have to always maintain that same control (and I was starting to lose it).
I just stuffed myself silly with breakfast. For 450 calories. Man, I can't eat like I used to.
I'm both excited and dreading my 25 minute run today for c25k. Oh, it's going to hurt (so good)! :drinker:
I like the challenge in theory, mstahl. But, fair warning, I'm going to fail. On the days I work 2 jobs, it's likely impossible for me to get 7 hours of sleep. But I'll give it a good try anyway! I can't even tell you the last time I was asleep before midnight (I get up at 6.30am). So, it's definitely something I *need* to work on!0 -
You stay at home moms i don't know how you do it...I love my kids but they are driving me batty today. I am home with them as hubby has to work till 7 :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
i am trying to clean the house and they destory every thing 2 seconds later...especially the little one....uggg
I think we are going to go to wendy's...and i will get my grilled chicken sandwich..yummy...maybe a baked potato., then come back and nap time.0 -
Love Love Love the Challenge this week!
Should be a bit interesting as my husband who also has sleep apnea and SNORES so loud it keeps me awake many nights is also dealing with the pain in his knee. He is scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday. But, I will give it a go! I know I need that sleep!

Your baby Mirada is gorgeous! And I love the name Haley Marie...her daddy did a great job naming her!
lildebbie: The news about the 9 year old who hung himself is just heartwrenching. I can't help but wondering what drove him to do it. It breaks my heart. For all of you who have kids, make sure you give them extra hugs!
Checking in for yesterday 1/23/2010:
Calories: 157 calories left over
Water: 40 oz.
Exercise: Over two hours of volleyball!
Proud: That I tried another new activity and had fun!
Sleep: 9 hours! I love this challenge because I typically get 8 hours of sleep per night because of LOVE to sleep!
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
Heather0 -
Heather - They are hinting that maybe it was bullying....it was soo hard i wanted to be soo mad at my daughter yesterday, she was in inschool suspsension all day ..but all i wanted to do was hug her.
Well now hubby is going to eat at work, they are bringing in dinner for them..so i am to fein for my self
The one thing we had to cook for tonight i don't want to cook just for me...they were pork kabobs and they girls will only partly eat them anyway, and not that good heated up....and besides hubby wants them for tomorrow now...so now my dilema on what to do for dinner. The girls have chicken nuggets and tv dinners they could have...not sure what i am going to have...my 1st thought is i will order a pizza, then thinking about it...do i really want to do that..the only thing else i have is some pasta with no sauce, but that is what i have been having all week long for dinner 0
