Between Heather's thong and jlb's commando runs, I'm thinking I should start selling underwear on here! :laugh:
Welcome, Boss. You will LOVE IT HERE! :flowerforyou:
Attention, all ye 4am and 6am workout gals: do NOT call me or invite me! LOL I cannot even imagine getting up that early to exercise!!! :noway:
mstahl - we know there's a great story there about breaking the elliptical, and I am dying to read it!
lildeb - I am SO happy you got that dr. appt. for Monday. I'll bet you'll sleep well tonight.
cds - NO JITB or VD cookies? You are an inspiration to me! :flowerforyou: JITB is my FAVE!!!
mari - do NOT give up. Things will change if you hold on. :flowerforyou:
jlb - I am so proud of you with those pants! I, too, FINALLY went down one size and I am thrilled. I can't wait to go down as many as you have! :bigsmile:
momma & awestfall - I adore you. 'Nuff said. (don't worry I am not a stalker LOL) You two are the BEST. 0 -
check in:
calories: over by 3,000 Just kidding wanted to see if you actually read it LOL cals were good today
water: over 64
exercise: 40 mins bike plus arm work
proud: I no longer wear a size 6x!!! Woooooooooooooooohooooooooooo!!!
sleep: 7 hrs. last night0 -
hi girls,
calories- under
water- yes
excercise- havent done any, may do it when baby goes to bed
proud- that i took out time to do stuff for me today (mani!- prize for reaching 10lbs lost)
sleep- got lots last night hope to do the same tonight
bluenote- lol on the 3,000 calories- yes we are paying attention!!!
good night all!
Cris0 -
Checking in for today!
Calories - 800 under which beautifully offsets yesterday's dinner!
Water - Still under- I started to say I'd try to get more in but that's not right. I WILL GET IT IN BEFORE BED!
Exercise - 45 minutes
Sleep - Five hours on the first round but I took a beautiful 3 hour nap this after noon
Proud- I'm proud I exercised this evening. Not getting it in this morning- being thrown off this week from my normal routine... it would have been easy to skip it but I didn't!
My DH was kind enough to fix the elliptical machine - the story of how it broke wasn't to exciting. I was using it and telling my DH that it wasn't tilting right (15% incline could go to 30% on it's own) and he was "exercising" on the recumbent bike beside me. He kept asking me to move it up then down so he could watch it. I kept saying lets leave it alone while it works... he won, it broke! But he spent an hour in the cold garage fixing it today so he gets points! Now I can change the incline form 10 to 30 degrees. Next we'll see if he can get the resistance to work! With zero resistance I can still get my heart rate up by going faster, but I get the feeling that's going to be harder and harder because it is already taking more incline and speed to keep it up :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
I'm so far under calories today that I'm going to have a sinful horrible dinner - a cup of Kraft Mac N Cheese. I am as excited about this as I would normally be about steak. OMG I love carbs! And fake cheese and chemicals LOL:laugh: I know it's horrible but I don't know when I'll have this kind of chance
Bluenote - 3000 over? That'll be the day
lildebbie - I think you guys are on the right track! You'll get things figured out! Otherwise I'll have to claim her
Lisa - GOOD JOB!
Chris - keep up the good work!
Heather - I pulled up a pair of size 14 gap jeans (from the 90s). Couldn't button them but I could pull them up!!!
Every one else I love you and love reading every bit your write! You keep me going every day!!!0 -

Proud - I felt like crud today but I exercised and burned over 400 calories.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day and hoping I can stay on target. I have to be up early (not any different than any other day this week, but tomorrow is voluntary...well sorta). I have to get up as I have a release at work going in the morning..and have to be logged in at 6 tgo make sure it goes well...This has alot of us on nerve...so i am hoping it goes well so I can move on .

Today started out good but like usual ...its a Wed. so it didnt end well
Calories:way over
water: way under
exercise: does laying on your bed for two hours count?
Proud: Im my parents favorite (even if they dont admit it) ....also my dad has started to want to lose weight.
Anyways...im now in charge of the snack counter at my youth group....meaning i get out the cookies, pop, and chips every week. And then i clean it all up afterwards. Therefore im tempted by food for around 30 mins. and all i want to do is eat it. Also for the youth group i bought two boxes of girl scout cookies today...they will come to youth next Wed...which is good cuz that means i can only have one. But i still have yet another box of cookies going to be given to me tomorrow....and im going to want to eat them....thin mints...my favorite...0 -

Today has gone much better. My DH is home recovering (trying to be a good patient)

calories....under.....too much, maybe this is my problem

water.....94 oz

Maybe you could talk to the youth group coordinator about including some healthy snacks? If they don't want to, look up some statistics on overweight teens, and tell they they should be encouraging a positive healthy lifestyle for teens.
Not sure if I am going to lose anything this week. The scale has been up a few pounds this week so far (even with being on target for calories) I am going to keep an eye on my sodium more this week, and see if that helps.
I attempt my 25 min run Saturday...and am trying not to stress about it, but it will be very challenging!0 -
cds - NO JITB or VD cookies? You are an inspiration to me!
Can't say I'd have a hard time passing on "VD" cookies either! :sick: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
01.27.10
Calories:1237
Exercise: 25 minutes stationary bike. Overslept
Water: 9 cups
Sleep: around 6 hours
Proud: Suffice it to say the gentlemen (ha) at work liked my new pants. :blushing: I'm kind of like mstahl -- I don't find any of these men desirable, and even though I don't really enjoy their attention, it's still nice to be noticed every once in a while.
Jenn, you're going to do great on that 25 minute run. I'm on my 3rd 25 minute run now -- tonight is w7d2 for me. I personally start to feel like I'm dying at about 15 minutes but if I can just suck it up and push it to 20 I start to feel better and then can kind of keep going until I let myself quit (which has been over 25 minutes both times). You've got this! :drinker:
The scale is being a little hard on me, too, for the 2nd week in a row. It finally dropped a little today after sticking at last Friday's weight all week but I'm not expecting much of a loss. I'm okay with it, though, because if I look back over the last 20 weeks (wow!) I'm still averaging over 2 pounds per week and I really can't ask for more than that. Now I'm focusing on getting more protein (mostly because I feel better when I do) and fewer carbs (NOT "low carb!"). And I think I'm going to have a shock meal Saturday. Why not? :devil:0 -
Wow, what a busy group. You guys are doing great
MariSama, we could never forget you. Your one of our girls
bluenote: 3,000 cals? lol:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: you are too funny. I just you!!!!!!
JennBarrette, you are amazing. Even if you do not lose weight this week. look at your ticker, you have lost a 9 yo. my daughter is 8 and weighs less than what you have lost. I can't imagine that big ol kid dropping off someones butt yet you have dropped her plus a new born:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Keep up the good work
lildeb, make a BIG deal to that little girl for bringing home all those stickers!!!! Act like she just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Celebrate and cheer her on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sing to her for doing so well!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure she gets a ton of attention for doing well!!
Renea-Kay, I agree with Jenn. I would talk to the youth leader about the snack options
ColoradoGirl, you are amazing you remembered everyone and you still took care of the hubby and yourself!!! Simply Amazing!!!!
Sorry if I missed anyone, HOpe everyone has a wonderful day.:flowerforyou:
I cheated and weighed myself I am down 1 pound. We will see what tomorrow says.0 -

momma- I am a sinful scale checker...lol maybe whoever wins the biggest loser this week will make the challenge not to weigh ourselves until Friday! That would be super hard for me, dont even know if I could do it
Another problem was that before I joined this group I had joined another group (not nearly as active and fun as this one ) that have their weigh ins on Thursday, then this group that has weigh ins on Fridays, and then my personal weigh ins are Sunday because that makes me accountable for the weekend...probably not good, but I probably would be stepping on the scale every other day (or everyday haha) anyways...bad Cris!! :noway: :blushing:
My weigh in for my Thursday group today had me down 1.4lbs which I am more than happy with due to TOM!!! Let's see what tomorrow brings!
Quick question for all you veterans. I know usually the first week you tend to drop a big number due to water weight. I dropped 7lbs the first week. Ever since I have been averaging 1.5lbs (which trust me I am soo happy with!) but I was wondering if I'll ever have a big week again where I lose like 3 or 4lbs? Is that even possible? Right now Im more than happy with my 1.5lbs though
Thanks for your input!

I know for me, my weight loss varies quite a lot! I lost at least 6 pounds my first week (don't know my actual starting weight, but it was somewhere right over 270 for sure) and 5.4 pounds my 2nd week. There are still rare weeks I lose over 4 pounds and then there are rare weeks I don't even lose a whole pound. Most of the time I lose just over 2/week. For example, the first 2 weeks in January I lost 3 pounds or more. Then last week I think I only lost 1.4 pounds and this week I'll be very happy to even get to 1.0 pounds lost. I've been right on target with calories consumed and exercise all 4 weeks. I think the body just adjusts and readjusts and drops weight in strange little patterns. But if you look at it, 3+3+1+1 is still 8 pounds in 4 weeks -- it evens out. You just can't let those small loss weeks discourage you.0 -
Good afternoon!
mstahl: Congrats on being able to get into your Gap size 14s! That's the first step and if you stay on track, I'd be willing to bed you'll be able to button them in a few weeks. How sweet would that be??
Here are my stats for yesterday 1/27/2010:
Calories: Over by 136 calories
Water: 32 oz. I'm having a problem with not being thirsty because I'm not drinking anything like I used to.
Exercise: Leg exercises for abductors and adductors.
Sleep: 8.5 hours but that's because I slept through my alarm this morning for an extra hour! Yikes!
Proud: That I am still at 197.4 this morning, even with the DQ sundae last night. Oops.0 -
Check in for yesterday:
Calories - I still came in under the goal but I went over fat 5 grams. >.<
Water - I barely drank 8 but I made it!
Exercise - Yesterday was supposed to be an exercise day but I felt like crap. And then I started my monthly annoyance today. Everything makes sense now. lol
My thing to be proud of yesterday is when I was really upset about something, I started to comfort eat. I had a chocolate chip cookie, and I started eating it... but it didn't satisfy me. It didn't even feel fulfilling. I wasn't hungry, and it was like I was going through the motions of chewing and swallowing with no real benefit. It kinda clued me into how many times I must have eaten something and my body was completely uninterested in the event. LOL. So it was a mini-epiphany. I needed one!0 -
Heather -- size 12 is awesome!! Congratulations! My bff is a size 10/12 at 5'7" or 5'8" and I don't consider her big at all!
I had to get some new pants for my 2nd job because, in the words of a coworker, I was giving customers "pizza and a floor show" because my pants were slipping down at highly inappropriate times. :noway: :laugh:
I went to Walmart on my lunch break on this mission: cheap, comfy, khaki. Last time I tried on pants at Walmart it ended in tears (and I don't mean tears of joy). I couldn't come close to fitting my fat butt in size 20 and I refused to try on a size 22. Today I bought a size 16P. P for petite... 'cause I'm a shorty (the pants are still too long... :grumble:). 1st bit of awesomeness was the fact that I shopped in the REGULAR section, not the plus sized section. 2nd bit of awesomeness is -- do you see how freakin' insane my butt looks in these pants? I'd be willing to bet money that I make better tips tonight than I have in a LONG time.
Sure, they're a wee bit tight through my hips, but I'll shrink into them in a week or 2. It's not like they're inappropriately tight, just a lot tighter than I'm used to (especially lately). I had taken 3 sizes into the fitting room. A 40x30 in men's pants, an 18W and a 16P and I left with the smallest size because the others were too big. I think that's the first time that's ever happened. When I picked up the 16 I thought "yeah right" and then just decided to try it on to see how close I was. When I pulled them on and buttoned them (plenty of room to spare in the waist) I said "Holy *kitten*!" Out loud. :laugh:
Oh, last night I was talking to the manager of the pizza place where I work & asked him to order me a smaller shirt. I said "I think this one is starting to be way too big" and he shook his head immediately in agreement.
I love to hear this awesome inspiring stuff! YAY!!! YOU GO!!!0 -

Check in:
Calories: Over - I had an ice cream binge, and I'm not sure why but it seems like I NEEDED it. I got a book from the library on Cravings and how to overcome them, so maybe that will help.
Exercise: only a couple of stretches about 5 minutes at work and 5 minutes at home and for vocals I did only warmups. I felt exhausted.
Water: Under
Sleep: I slept a full night sleep but am still hurtin from lack of sleep on Wednesday with my a.m. meeting. :yawn:
I am having tons of feelings and having trouble sorting them out. :grumble: :noway: :ohwell: :indifferent: :frown: :devil: :smooched: 
:brokenheart: :sad: :huh:
I have feelings about my daughter, my dating situation, friends, work, and how messy and out of control my house feels right now. i feel like I don't have time to sort out my feelings! Last night my dating guy texted me and said he wouldn't help me decide about what to do Friday night but he thought we needed at least one night per weekend, either Friday or Saturday, for our relationship. So I texted him back and said, "Hey you said the "R" word." and added "Hugs" to it. And he texted and said, "Yes and I didn't even think about it twice. I feel good about it and it seems like you feel okay about it too."
But I am still confused. I keep thinking about another guy I was flirting with who is close or the same in quality to this guy. I got a text from another guy I was talking to from a dating service and am not sure if I should reply or not. And I am scared because the last time I got into a relationship it turned into two years of suffering... :huh:
Also hurt my daughter is not calling me. And having trouble getting myself to pursue her. I know she does better if she is pursued, she is more likely to forgive me if I kowtow to her and chase her and part of me wants to because I love her so much and it feels like a disturbance in the universe for us to not be speaking to each other, but part of me is still mad at her for Christmas and overall I have had trouble with boundaries with her for a while, which last part is not her fault, it is mine, but I almost am enjoying the break from feeling like I have to take care of her feelings and be a counselor to her...:brokenheart:
And my BFF, asked for time on Friday and I feel like she is taking advantage of knowing my dating guy doesn't ask for time in advance, but mostly I just feel like she is scared that if I get too into the "R" (smile) it will end up with less time for her, or rather, me being less available when she NEEDS me because when SHE is dating, she drops me like a hot potato, hence I have gotten use to a lot of time alone in the last several months.... and I feel like I miss time alone and I need time alone, but on the other hand, I'm afraid to ask for some because I'm afraid i will ask for it and then feel lonely after all..
He he...
Except for my daughter problem, the other problems are good ones to have. Then on top of it i did my budget for Feb and I do have money for all my bills. I know I should be grateful for that, but I have WANTS, not NEEDS but I want, I want, I want a buncha stuff and although I am grateful in this economy to pay my bills... I still feel let down that February has come and gone without a blast of cash for Rosie's WANTS... (whine) :grumble:
So I must say, overall my life is very good and I am grateful but still hurt, confused, and freaked out, but happy. Oh the humanity! :laugh:0 -
Pretty busy. today...just eating my lunch real quick and then back to work oh fun..mty release went well this morning so i feel much better..but then of course TOM arrived this morning...but the scale was a lot nicer today than it has been :laugh: :laugh:
we will see what tomorrow brings...i am not holding hope for a big number just little one would be nice
Jenn - i have to agree with momma...my 6 yr old (she is very tall and big for her age) weighs 65 lbs...i can't even imagine that much weight gone..you are doing awsome.
well got to get back to work..hopefully i will catch up some tonight.0 -

Wow! That IS alot of stuff to be thinking about!!! I think you should stop worrying about everyone else and just focus on you! Lead your life the way you want and the rest will fall into place. As a stubborn daughter myself I also like to be chased when my mom and I are in a fight. She has started not indulging me in that sense and I always cave in and call her. Give your daughter some time, she will come around. As for the BFF, if she drops you like a hot potato when she is in a relationship, I wouldnt worry too much about her feelings at this point. As far as everything else just do the best you can with what you ahve and the rest will come, I promise! Stop stressing so much too, it makes it hard to lose weight!!:laugh:
Good luck

It kinda clued me into how many times I must have eaten something and my body was completely uninterested in the event. LOL. So it was a mini-epiphany. I needed one!
Good for you. This is part of the learning process, listening to that body.0 -
awestfall, you are the best!!!!:flowerforyou: Not someone I will ever forget. We have been together here for awhile and you were one of my first friends on this site.
Rororosie, as a mother to another mother go ahead and chase her. Our job is to LOVE them unconditonally(and I know you do) We do not always receive their appreciation for making the first step. That does not matter. Even if she does not tell you that she appreciates it. She will. As for that bff, I would just let her know that you have not decided what you want to do this weekend and if she does not mind you will let her know before it gets here and feel free to make other plans if you are unable to wait. Your time is still yours. As for the relationship, you never can tell what is going to happen unless you just let it happen. We have to take risks for happiness. Sorry you can't get some of your wants, but good attitude on appreciating that the needs are provided for!!!
Cris, glad you are here and thanks for the encouragement!!!!!!!!!0 -
I'm glad I found this thread to read. I get 'uncomfortable' at times in other threads where the users are only 150-something pounds and looking for like a 20 lbs wight loss. Not that everyone here on MFP isn't awesome and stuff, but like.. for me, 150lbs is a good weight, lol! Reading about all y'all here puts things back in perspective for me. I started this year/diet at 235 and am hoping to get to 155 eventually. 155lbs for me is a size 6/8. I'm tired of my size 16/18's. My BF is a musician and at all the gigs there are tons of skinny chicks running around throwing themselves at the band members... I want to be one of those 'skinny' (well, skinny for me) chicks again, lol. I used to model and get checked out when I was 155 lbs, I *am* going to get there again!!!
Anyway, didn't mean to jump in y'alls thread. just wanted to let you know that I am so very happy to have found it to read.
Keep up the good work everyone!0 -
Catzwitch: Welcome to the thread! This is a very welcoming group that I haven't been with long but am grateful I found! Everyone here is super supportive, so feel free to join. Every day, we post our stats including calories, water intake, exercise, and something we're proud of. This week, we're also keeping track of how much sleep we get.
Rororosie: Wow, that's a ton of stuff to keep track of, but it's great that you have a positive attitude about it. I noticed you mention vocal exercises. What kind of singing do you do? I love to sing but only do it for fun (karaoke these days).
I sure hope no one truly feels left out of this amazing group! You're all awesome and inspirational!!

Rororosie: I'm having similar problems as you this week ... too much thinking and worrying all the time.
I didn't even enjoy my morning step class because I was so wrapped up in thought - wore off 120 less calories than normal too ... so that was bad! :grumble: I agree with momma2four about calling your daughter ... but I'm also a mom who had an argument with my almost 16 year old last night when she wasn't happy to get underwear and sunglasses as gift one for her birthday 'week.'... I tried to explain that when you get gifts every day for a week (which is a new tradition we started last year) - some are going to be smaller than others ... especially when we just bought her an expensive letter jacket as well as a car (inexpensive old car for $175 from my dad ... but still! title, insurance, etc.). So I was not happy with her comment that her gift must be a joke ... she did kind of apologize later and explain that she wasn't thinking about how many days of gifts she would be getting and was expecting ice skates so was initially disappointed. But of course the mother in me that felt guilty about dissapointing my daughter was out shopping for too many clothes and jewelry for her today! and she will be getting her skates ... just not until her actual birthday next week. It's hard being mom sometimes.... endless guilt and frustration, but also loads of love, pride and satisfaction. I had a terrible relationship with my mother when I was a teen, and into my twenties ... probably fault on both sides, but I am trying desperately to have a better relationship with my daughter. One thing that always bothered me was how easily my mother gave in to letting me sulk and be apart from my family ... and let her hurt feelings dictate how she reacted to me - like not going to my school events if I told her I didn't want her to be there (but I was secrectly hurt when she wasn't). I try to tell myself that 'I am the adult' and 'she is the child', and I need to be the one to make things work. I know your daughter isn't a child anymore, but you are still the older and wiser. Good luck!
Welcome Catzwitch!
checking in:
calories: just barely over ... which is HUGE for me on a non-exercise day ... it's been awhile since I could say I did well on calories
exercise: nothing yesterday, did make it to the Y this morning for an hour
water: not enough
proud: that I managed to make healthier food choices and just barely went over on calories
Have a great night all!0
