Good morning sixers!!
I made my goals yesterday! But I did learn one valuable lesson (of which I will probably have to re-learn at some point knowing me!
) I logged all my food and learned that I shouldn't eat Mexican and pizza in the same day. I was 1400 cals over! But that was one day, and that wasn't one of my goals yesterday. Today is a new day. Today I will log everything, drink 9 cups of water, and eat fewer calories than yesterday.
The trim pieces are done!! The living room floor is complete!!! DH has to get new nonskid feet to put under the couch & love seat before we can put the living room back together. He's supposed to do that after work today, but I just got a message from him that he's going to look at an HDTV he found on Craigslist first. He's looking for one for our bedroom. I'm hoping to be able to have my treadmill back up and running tonight before bed.
Sorry I don't have time right now for personals. I got a couple free minutes here at work & thought I'd pop in! Happy Wednesday! :flowerforyou:0 -

I noticed Pam checked in on the wk 1 board yesterday - so I updated her on the list.0 -
I started logging my food again yesterday. It's been a long time since I did that and I like the changes they made to the Food Log. Makes things a little easier. I skipped lunch yesterday since I was pretty full from breakfast and snack. Made a taco salad for dinner, but then I found myself hungry again at 9pm and had a bowl of cereal. I really need to get most of my calories in earlier so I'm not hungry later. So, I ate my oatmeal earlier this morning - that should help. It's raining again here. Someone needs to remind mother nature that this is the desert and we don't do rain!! It makes me feel gloomy.
Cathy - I agree with you. It is so hard to motivated anyway - if you feel like working out on your rest day, then go for it. Hope your DH is feeling better soon.
Kristin - Great weight loss this week and great job on getting up and working off those extra calories!! Wow - an hour and a half. Maybe I need to start reading Twilight - I have it here but just haven't started it.
Em - Great weight loss this week. Don't beat yourself up about gaining some back. We've all been there and I didn't stop at just 20 pounds like you did. It's great you got your motivation back.
Pam - Great weight loss this week! Is your DH feeling better?
Lorna, PrimalB, AmyLou, Amy S, Nicole, Amy, Kel - Great weight loss this week!! Wow we have a lot of Amy's!
Alison, Lauryn, Cathy, Tamm, Tiff, oh and me - Hang in there!! We'll get our little gains off by next week I'm sure.
Now - I'm heading to the treadmill. Have a great day everyone!!0 -
PrimalB...NICE loss!!!
Emmie...good job on logging again! And have fun on the treadmill!
Amypyr...good job on yesterdays goals!
Cathy...say hello to Shanell! I hope she is well!
Just had some yummy Chicken fajita fillings for lunch and now getting back to work! Have a good afternoon!0 -
WOAHHH SO MANY POSTS!!! YAY! this is great!!
So I guess I will do me, then personals! haha I finally have time! I have a couple hour break in between classes, although i need to go do a hw assignment before 5 haha.
SO I did decide to go to the gym last night, my Bf and i got into a bit of an argument so I decided that I would rather take my anger out on a tred mill then out on him. So I went to the gym, did 10 minutes on the cross country ski machine, burned 80 calories. Then decided to do the tred mill, I hadnt been planning on doing my c25k last night because it was suppose to be a day of rest, so I got on the tred mill and started walking, well that wasnt enough for me, so 7 or so minutes in I put on my podcast and did C25K instead. So 25 + minutes later making for a total of 34 minutes work out, I did 2.5 miles, and felt a LOT better. I repeat, I DID 2.5 MILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAHOOOO It really wont be long before I can run that 1.5 miles in under 12 minutes for the coast guard! So then I played some basketball/volleyball with my family for like 35 minutes, then my brother and i decided we would go into the pool just to cool off, well we got into water basketball and went all out! I mean tackling, dunking, FULLY competitive for like 15 minutes before they closed and we had to get out. So I came home, and was passed out by 11:30... haha. I was TIRED.
So this morning, got up, took a NICE long shower, ate a pear, went to class, stopped at Mr. Pita got a new kind of pita for me called the Hawaiian chicken. It was taste, so came home and decided to update my food stuff, and the hawaiian pita wasnt in the food bank!!! EEK so I got to enter it myself! wahoo! So i have officially contributed to MFP!!! I am thinking I will go run again today, do C25k, I know that we arent suppose to run like this everyday because we could hurt our knees, pull a muscle, or get shin splints... but last night was cheating (oh i burned over 250 cals too!) So I will do it here in a little bit, then rest tomorrow and then do it friday after zumba again.
So ya!
how is everyone else!!
B (doing personals next!)0 -
WAHOOO! SO I cant do all the personals since I logged in yesterday or I am going to be here forever, but I will certainly try and do as many as I possibly can!
Kristin - yay chicken faitas! Isnt Twilight AWESOME!?
Emmie- yay for getting back into logging your food!
Amypyr- YAY ON MEETING YOUR GOALS, YAY FOR THE FLOOR BEING DONE, YAY THAT YOU CAN WORKOUT IN UR ROOM AGAIN!!! YAY!!!!
Amy S - HEY!!! sorry I been AWALL last 24 hours or so, but yay for your internetz being back up, have you done your C25K yet today!?!? I DEFFFFFF Need some friend time soon, I think ppl are beginning to think I have become a shut in haha. Im usual a pretty active girl with my friends, haha. So I need to make time for them VERY soon, problem is that I am SOOOO incredible busy... I am hoping I can make it out to see all of mah friends on Thursday though.
Lula- CONGRATS on the 1lbs LOSS! that is awesome! YOU SOOOO DESERVE IT!!!
Em- YAY for being 160! that is my goal weight period! that is awesome!
Tamm- sure its from TOM! Ignore it! Drink water, and keep doing what you are doing girlie!!!
Cathy - how did the gym go? and I hope ur DH feels better!! !
K well I hope I got everyone, and if I didnt you are TOTALLY in my heart and mind! So I think I am going to take a quick nap, wait for my brother to come home, then go to the gym with him... Then go to class @ 6... so hope everyone has a good day I will def. Try to check in before I hit the sack tonight.

SO I FEEL GREAT ! today is supposed to be my c25k day 2.... but when i asked the doc... he said... i shouldnt be jogging that much because i have a bad knee from an injury in high school in P.E.... and esp. after my c-section added on top of that ! So he said stick to walking ! or FAST walking .... SOOO thats why i broke out the FIRM workouts ! and I will be doing leslie sansone dvds on my WALKING days... as well as sometimes taking the podcast out for a VERY brisk high intensity WALK! but WAY TO GO !

Kistinbee- Thanks for doing the list. You are really good at being motivational. I always feel better after being on here.
Amy- Do you make your own pizza/crust? Pizza is one of my biggest weaknesses. My favorite pizza---- Large!
Anyway, thanks everyone for sharing.

evening all..
what a lazy day. glad i got the workout in. DH now lives in the bathroom and bed. sometimes he will make it to the couch. he tried to eat dinner. sure hopes he doesn't pass this on to me. i haven't been sick, sick since i quit smoking. i have had not feeling good days, but, not down right sick. neither has he. we quit together.
i want to eat out of bordom. keeping my hands busy so i don't use them to put things in my mouth. when i have these craving, just having a diet soda really helps. i cut my soda intake from many cans a day to one glass a day. these are the nights i wish bedtime would come sooner.
well, think i will surf around the internet

LOL. Thanks for the support ladies! I'm so glad we have so many post to read. I love hearing about everyones life. LETS Keep the posting up YAY sixers!!! I did realize that I have not lost ONE LB since I started birth control in JULY/Aug. I know I want my hormones to be in control and having PCOS can be complicated BUT My main goal is removing the weight. So, I'm gonna give it two more months and if Im not satisfied with the results, I will consult another doctor about other treatments (I'm taking a diuretic, Birth Control and using Expensive Facial cream for hair growth) all because my body wants to make to much testosterone! GEE WIZZZ. LOL. Bottom line, I'm hanging in there. Its always been hard to remove weight but at least I was getting it off. RESULTS are bond to come as long as I keep moving!!!
Yesterday I tried water aerobics, and its not for old ladies anymore, I felt silly doing it and thought to myself.. I should have done the elliptical BUT when I got out the pool I felt sore, I mean the same day and today I'm resting bc my body is aching. I guess the water resistance was making my body WORK! SO this will be on my weekly class schedule until I move. YAY!!!
Tiff- Good luck with your test! You can do it!!!
All other SIXERS- I love your motivation and thanks for always listening and supporting me!
Take care,
Tamm0 -
Sandy - You just reminded me of the yummy pizza I used to make. I used to buy Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough. I added a little olive oil to the top, mozzarella, ham or salami, pear slices and arugula. So good darn it - now I'm bummed that I'm on no carbs. Carbs are evil - carbs are evil. :laugh: But I'm doing well on my almost no carbs and with logging - not to mention, I'm already feeling better.
Doing good on the exercise thing too - I had a few minutes earlier so walked for 10 min on the treadmill, then I did a workout DVD. Planning to hop back on treadmill sometime tonight.0 -
Emmie- Great Job! You are succeeding all around! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rhiannon- We understand! You are missed but your priorities are in line, not to mention, you did become a RUNNER since youve been away!
Lauryn- Missing you! How are ya?
Kel- What day are you on now?
Cathy- Glad you had a wonderful workout! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so proud of you ladies, new or not so new we are WORKING towards our goals!
Ttyl,
Tamm
P.S. We are going to have to all change are names to Amy #1 or #30 lol... The AMY's are taking OVER!!!0 -

Love ya all
Kel
P.S. Cathy I hope your hubby gets better soon. And of course that you don't catch it.:flowerforyou:0 -
You ladies are busy BUSY! Hey Rhiannon! Nice hearing from you. I know your kids love having you around :-) Keep checking in when you can!
I'm studying for the test tomorrow but just wanted to say hey!!! I'm on day 5 of logging my food and exercise. and thanks for the encouragement with my rude and crazy classmate. she definitely did NOT show up last night :explode: and me and the other girl worked til 7 am so I'm pretty darn exhausted. Either way God is in control and will have to work it out for me! (after my test Friday... so don't be mad if I'm MIA I HAVE to focus and do a study marathon, :-) ttys!0 -
so BIG news ladies!!!!! I GOT A JOB!!!! It's a fellowship actually. It's a really good opportunity and i am SOOOO excited about it!!! I will start July 1st, so sometime in June probably i'll be moving to South Dakota.
Sorry i don't have time for more. its been an exciting but exhausting day so I am off to bed soon!0 -
amylou - AWESOME on the job. Sigh of relief. South Dakota huh? Lots of skiing?
tiff - do great on your test!
Kel - Amazing on the Shred. You can do this new challenge today!
Tamm - I've always wondered about water aerobics. Thanks for posting. I might have to give it a try.
Cathy - Sorry about the hubby. Tell him he can only blow you kisses. Great job on getting to the gym despite having a sicky at home.
kistinbee, izzypup - HI
B - It's so cool you are doing C25K. I started it a few weeks ago. Just a warning. Running can become very addictive.
amyls8710 - hope you have a great time with your friends
emmie110 - Good job on the logging calories. It's always a adjustment when we eat. You'll get into the swing of things.
amypyr - glad to hear things are coming along
For all those I missed, sorry
Work, work, work for me until volunteering at son's library class. Then a quick jump into the gym before picking them up from school. Then go, go, go for the evening. Both hubby and kids are going to be gone all weekend. I LOVE my family, but am truly looking forward to some down time. Have a "no hubby/no kid" night planned on Friday with some girlfriends. Shooting pool, drinking a beer, and going to a movie that isn't animated. Woohoo.
Have a great one ladies!0 -
B- hope you enjoyed your rest day yesterday ..... i took one as well.... i think true strength starts knowing when to rest and when to push yourself harder ! good luck with day 3 of the c25k ..... and i think you should do a higher intensity day 4 : ) and start fresh with week 2 on monday !
Sandy-- lol .... i usually when its me and my husband make the pillsbury crusts that you can calorie easy ...... but we just ordered a pizza from out..... i just limit my number of pieces and ate a spinach salad with it ! I think things take steps.... so i said if i go from eating lots of pieces to just a limited amount like 2 or 3 slices (theseare small pieces that they cut them into) they equal maybe 1 sbarros piece of pizza if you put the three together ! and it was full of veggies !!! haha maybe next time u eat pizza try a MEDIUM hahah ! and then go to a small..... and then to half a small ! !!!!! it takes time
Cathy-- thats great that you quit together ! i wish my hubby would quit smoking ...... sorry hubby is still so sick and being stuck at home is a pain...... how did you do before bed ???
Tamm-- awww as it was said a few days ago.... our bodies are strange and mysterious and COMPLICATED things haha..hang in there.... but i agree that if you dont get the results you want soon then def..go to the doctor !!!!
Kel--- GOOD lUck girl on level three of the shred ! you can do it ! just listen to your body! i do another one of my firm workouts today...... im excited !
Gonabfit-- good luck for the study marathon......
amylou-- thats awesome .... CONGRATS !
lorna--- some mommy time sounds awesome !! ENJOY !
Today is my firm day 2 ..... im walking in between the firm days ....... and doing the wii fit ..... as much as possible.... !!!!! My goal for this week is to get my water in daily ....... be under calories every day as last week........ get my three firm workouts in....... and walk at least three times.... and do the wii every day for at least 10 minutes.... !!!!!
Hoping to see big results again ! but i also understand sometimes when your losing you start to gain muscle... so whatever the scale says ! im happy with !0 -
good morning....
amylou....CONGRATS.....yea for new adventures.
tamm....i wish i had access to a pool to try. i hear they are great for joint pain sufferers.
lulabelle....ssshhhh quite down time weekend.
kel....go shredder. i did the second one just for the day, cause i wanted something quick and my tummy still hurts.
tiff.....you'll ace that test no problem.
everyone else.....you are all doing such a good job. sounds like everyones is doing their very best at getting in exercise when a chance shows, and logging. just handling lifes stresses. we can do this....
DH still sick. i think he needs diapers. he carries a towel with him, he ate ALL my sugar free jello and pudding. so i now have to go get more and the washer is already running. change sheets today and clean bathrooms and spray lots of lysol everywhere. i don't want it.
i think today i will do a WATP 3 mile tape at home, shower dress and head to the store. he can't kept anything in. no lulabelle he can't even blow me kisses. i don't want his germs LOL.
washer just stopped. better get it in the dryer and start another.
later0 -
amyls...i did have 2 cookies. i was still within my limits. just had to dig into my extras. i only log 1/2 of what i burn in exercise so i was maybe in about 100-150. not much.
oh also forgot....tamm....i was going over some past logging and started putting something together. when i started gaining this weight was almost 4 weeks after i cut my metformin in half. this has been use as a weight loss drug for some. not common. anyway i thought that when i see my doctor next week i am going to ask him if i can go back full again to see if the weight starts coming off better. people are also on it for PCOS. my gyn has suppected me to have that too. but, i already have done what can be done. so he said he won't go into it. theres nothing else i can do. just a thought for you for maybe a new drug to help with both for you.0 -
looks like workout will come this afternoon. it will come this afternoon.........
gotta run0 -
Morning Sixers!
I cant believe this, but this is the third time in a week that I have gotten up early to go to the gym and work out!! THAT is something I thought I would NEVER do!!!!! I am going to do W1D3 of C25K, and Lula you are totally right running is becoming addictive!!!!! And I think I am going to follow your advice Amy S and do a Day 4 at higher intensity, really push myself...
So I dont have time for personals, I have to be showered and gone from the gym by 9:10 or so to make it to my 10:00 am class on time, which i have to because I was late on tuesday. haha I cant wait for classes to be over this week!
So BYE SIXERS! hope everyone has a good day, I should be back after 3:00 pm or so!

Hello ladies, sorry, I am a few days behind. Its been a busy week with getting everything taken care of for the new job. Drug tests, customer service tests, etc. Got my offer letter in email the other day. Its great to have it in writing.
I am down 2 pounds but cautious. I ALWAYS lose these 2 pounds. Then I gain them back. We will see if I can make it stick plus take off 2 more before next weigh in.
Too much to do personals. Good job everyone who is losing and hang in if you are not. I cant believe I was the 3rd to last to check in! That is great attendance!0 -
Amy Lou - congrats on the job!!!
Tamm - I LOVE water aerobics. When I was losing weight before, I did it a couple of times a week. I love that you do the whole workout and it doesn't feel too bad, I didn't feel sweaty or anything because of the water -- almost like I didn't get much of a workout, and then I would get out of the pool and barely be able to stand up. I would love to get back into my cute water aerobics bathing suit!
It's funny how different people react to birth control. I have depression and birth control regulates my hormones enough to make my mood better, so I actually LOSE weight on birth control because I'm not depressed. Exercise does the same thing though, and it's free and has no negative side effects that I'm aware of (like my chest doesn't get bigger when I exercise, thank goodness!).
I kinda dropped off the face of the planet yesterday. My ears have been bothering me for about a week, so I finally went to a Minute Clinic, and the lady was so nice, and didn't charge me because she said she's not charging just to look in my ears. I just have fluid in them from my life-long allergies, and need to take a daily decongestant. I was taking them at night, but I hate being a zombie all day, but I guess it's better than getting an ear infection or just dealing with my ears feeling full and painful and getting a little dizzy sometimes.
I didn't track my food yesterday because when I woke up I thought I might be sick (probably just the same icky allergy problems bothering my ears) and spent the morning trying not to throw up and get some breakfast down so I could take medicine, and then felt a lot better in the afternoon. So, my food for today was mostly high-sodium soups and carbs (graham crackers, a bagel thin). I feel bloated now, but it's okay because water is free so I will just drink a bunch of it.
It's cold outside today, but I might take a walk and see if that can take away some of the decongestant-zombie feeling. Probably won't do C25k today, but hopefully after my ears clear up, I can do 2 days in a row to catch up. I'm not really keeping track of doing 3 workouts a week, I'm just going with a comfortable pace for my body, but I don't want to take 4 months to get through 9 weeks of workouts.
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Good morning Sixers!!
Kel - How was level 3 Shred? I belong to Netflix & found it on there, so I'm going to check it out there for free before buying it. I don't want to buy another DVD that I won't use.
Cathy - I hope your dh is feeling better.
Amy lou - Congrats on the job!! That's great!
Alison - I love MinuteClinic! I've gone there several times between the 4 of us, and I've always had good luck there. They are good about not charging for certain things like that. I hope your ears are doing better today.
I know I've missed a lot of you this morning, but I'm thinking of you!!
Well, DH wasn't able to make it to Lowe's to get the new feet for the couches, but he did get the TV for our bedroom. I'm so excited about having something else to do upstairs during his Superbowl party this year! Until last night, we only had 1 TV in the house. This is his 4th Superbowl party. The last 2 years the kiddos & I went over to a friends house. The kids would play while us 2 mommies would eat & talk & watch the Superbowl commercials. Unfortunately, they were just renting the house & bought a new one last March.
So, living room isn't back together, so no treadmill, but it's fine for my Jillian Michael's DVD (lots of open space at the moment!). I did make my goals of eating fewer cals yesterday than the day before. I was 1200 cals over instead of 1400 over. And I drank my 9 cups of water. My goal of walking to pick up kids today probably won't happen since dd has piano lesson right after school. That won't give me much time. So my goals for today are:
Drink 9 cups water
Eat fewer cals than yesterday
Do part of exercise DVD (too out of shape to do the whole thing right now)0 -

I hope the week is going well for all. I have posted my stats the past 2 Wednesdays but never got a chance to say hello.
The end of the week is always the hardest for me to stay motivated; more social activites, more free time on the weekend to sit around the house and snack, etc always tend to veer me off track. I pulled good numbers last week b/c I was coming off TTOM. Hopefully, I can stay on track through the next weigh-in and keep the numbers in the negative.
Great work from everyone!
