Well I know jbl I believe is 25 and Cris is 27 I think and me well I'm 29 soon to be 30. Wow I just noticed that the three of us are 2 years apart exactly lol.
I'm 21 and SERIOUSLY outta shape...So it's not age! :laugh: Meokk and Cris, I seem to be around your body types going by height weight and sizes
Now to catch up on todays eventful postings!
LittleSpy-Sounds like you had an amazing time playing tennis!! I almost cried when reading about your self consciousness around others cause of your weight. I'm the same way. I felt so awkward and embarrassed last night just buying a scale...I really can't wait until I get to feeling more comfortable like you are beginning to, that's so great!
Heather-190 on the scale! that's great! It's awesome that you have your spouses support in your weight loss journey. We can all use all the support we can get!
Awestfall- 1.6lb loss yay! Your kids sound awesome! I honestly think the best praise comes from our kids
Cris- Hope the sinus infection goes away for ya soon! I know how miserable they can be. And WTG with the 4lbs loss!
Momma-Water weight sucks! But the great part is it'll be gone in no time. Don't let it OR TOM keep you down!!
Lildebbie-Happy to hear your little one's surgery went well...everyones entitled to an off day, especially with how hectic yours was
Msthal- 5.4lb loss that's Amazing!! You must feel so great!
Bluenote- The same goes for you and your 3.5lb loss!! you go girl!
I don't think my loss should really be counted this week. I know that it's gotta be mostly water weight, I'm only 5wks post postpartum and you ladies have been at this far longer, having big losses like some of you have had this week is a big thing!!
I realized though today, my 1month old is 8lbs. Thinking of that in relation to my weight, it's like losing one of her...She feels heavy after a while, I can't imagine what that did to my body or how much lighter I'll feel when all the excess is gone!

Jess- I know after i had both of my babies, i lost a lot of weight quickly. With my last one i think I was like 290-300 at delivery, about 270 -275 pre-preancy when I returned to work at 8 wks post partem i was like 255, depends too if you are breastfeeding too..you are doing great.
well we got our new puppy last night...we didn't go to bed till almost 1 (way late for me and my girls). Puppy was crying so didn't really sleep good last night. The scale was not my friend this morning but i deserve that after that bad eating last night...but no more today. was up to almost 285 from 281.4 :sad:

Lildebbie what an adoreable little puppy! What's the lil guys name!?
I guess I'll weigh in on the pants situation. I'm 25 and last time I checked was at about 230 or 225 can't remember and I could barley squeeze into an 18 at Old Navy. I'm in desperate need of pants so I'm going to attempt to go again today. My probably is my butt is too big...sadly yes....it's all the squats, lunges and the ellipitcal machine it popped outta nowhere! I'm gonna try again today though because the 20's are too baggy and I don't like them! WIsh me luck!!
P.S. I just want to share with everyone how excited I was. My Mom gave us our Easter baskets yesterday (Yes 25 years old and my Mom still does this! LOL) and she put protein bars in mine instead of candy. I was so excited. Everyone kept digging in my basket and going "ewwww what are these where's the candy!?" :laugh:0 -
We are having to return the puppy
I am very allergic to him, at first thought it was just cause we got home late but the more and more he is here it is jsut more and more...i can't breathe and my eyes are just itching and watering, i used to have bad allergies before and hadn't had in a while , i don't know if it is dander, our old dog was long haired and never had a problem with him 0 -

Isn't it crazy how you pick something up in the amount of weigh you lost and you are just thinking "geeze...I've lost THAT much already" it makes you feel good. I picked up my 6 year old niece last night who also happens to weigh 40 pounds and I am thinking to myself "Wow! I have lost a WHOLE Jayden!" it gave the family a nice giggle!
lildebbie-sorry to hear you have to return the puppy!! He sure was a cutie0 -
Aww LilDebbie - so sorry about the puppy! Any chance an antihistamine would help enough? I have given up on living without medication and I take the generic version of Zyrtec every day so I don't get all itchy and stuffy from the various gremlins in our house!
AND LilDebbie - I can assure you that what ever shenanigans you got into yesterday I did FAR FAR WORSE! I went out after work with the girls and lets see... buffalo shrimp dipped into blue cheese dressing, garlic balls - which were basically dough balls (baked I hope) misted with garlic oil and we dipped them into ranch dressing!, blue crab dip - served up with garlic toast, more garlic balls, more alcohol... I figure I ate around 1700 calories in 3 hours. nice. I kept thinking - OH GOD! Remember there's salt in this shi# too! I'll be up 10 pounds for the weekend easy!
Checking in:
Calories - shameful shameful - over by 1100 at least
Water - really good because I made myself drink a glass between my rum and diet cokes!
Exercise - walked 50 minutes at lunch including a big long hill!
Proud - well... uhm... that I'm just chalking last night off to a bad choice and moving forward today with great determination to kick butt this weekend!
Jesyka - I think you won! Rapid weight loss due to baby stuff is still in fact WEIGHT LOSS!!!0 -

Jess, maybe I should mail you my size 18's ??? I have loads and really need to go shopping but have been postponing. I even have some size 18s that I never wore and I was just going to donate them. I'd be happy to do that if you're interested, those flat rate boxes are quite cheap I think.
I
your moms easter basket. So thoughtful that she made it diet friendly.
Lildebbie - sorry you have to return the dog, sadness.
Jesyka - It's good that your recognize that in the first few weeks you can have a much higher loss than you can maintain moving forward. I'm really impressed that at 21 you are determined to do this the right way. great job! :drinker:0 -
Jess-It's crazy seeing the weight you've lost manifested into something physical. Real eye opener for sure!
Lildebbie-I'm sorry about the puppy
Msthal-Like I said to Lildebbie yesterday, everyone is entitled to an off day, and it's great that you're chalking it up to one night and ready to move forward this weekend, not giving up is what it's all about!! And thanks...I'm proud of the loss, I had stalled for three weeks not losing anything. It's all about the choices you make for yourself right? If I hadn't started to get my eating, if you will, together I'd still be maintaining or gaining.
Meokk-I thank my mom for my attitude towards weight loss. She struggles with her weight as well and knows that you have to work for your loss, that yes you can just watch your calorie intake and keep it low, but that won't give you the results you're looking for...exercise is a must [and I hate that must but I'll be letting ms Jillian Michaels kick my butt with the 30 day shred starting this week] 0 -

OK now, if we are going to do that, then you all need to save everything for me after you've received them from someone else! LOL By the time I need them your old clothes will be retro and will be back in style for my round of wearing! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
lildeb - not sure if you've returned the pup yet, but if not, try keeping him for a few weeks and then see how your allergies do. I have had three different friends get puppies and their immediate allergic reactions were terrible but subsided after a few weeks. ??? I hope this helps.
I have a new monitor and, wowsa, I can see everything on the screen without squinting! LOL0 -
lildebbie -- the puppy is SO CUTE. I'm sorry you're allergic. I don't know if you should return him or not, only you can make that decision, but I will tell you that I was VERY allergic to the 2 of my dogs we got as puppies when they were puppies. I would almost break out in hives just holding them (which I did all the time anyway, but I'm not suggesting you should! :laugh:). I'm not really allergic to them anymore. If I've just groomed them, I'll start to get a little sneezy/sniffly but -- c'mon I have 6 dogs. If I were really that allergic to them, my allergy induced asthma wouldn't have cleared up over the last 2 years like it has.
So, for me, like bluenote suggested, my allergies did get better when they grew up. Maybe because they were able to clean themselves better? Anyway, that has been my experience. But if your allergies are really bad, the best thing for you to do may be to return him (which you already have said) so he has a shot at finding another really great home as a small pup. :flowerforyou: I know you'll make whatever decision is best for you and your family (and the little guy).
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes when I stepped on the scale this morning. It was ungodly early (5.15am) so maybe I really was still dreaming but I got a 208.0 many times in a row. Yesterday was 209.8. Sooooooo...... I have my fingers crossed with high hopes this eating more thing is really doing the trick!0 -
hey lil deb.. just to weigh in on the allergy and puppy topic.
I am allergic to anything that has fur... pretty much.. I can not tolerate the dander. Some dogs/puppies have worse dander than others hence the fact some dogs I can tolerate and others drive me nuts. I can not really pet or snuggle with our dogs unless they have been freshly bathed (it too was worse when they were younger) without getting hives and it affecting my eyes, nose and breathing.
but, I found this stuff called "missing Link" you can buy it at petco or Petsmart. It comes in a powder form and it pretty much vitamins for dogs. It really really helps the dogs coats and helps keep down the dander. In addition to the Missing Link we also use "Iams" dog food. I can tell such a HUGE difference when we tried to use something else.
I also take Allegra for my allergies along with "oregano oil" for my sinuses. I hope this helps! Good luck with the new little family member (if he gets to stay)0 -
Lildebbie what an adoreable little puppy! What's the lil guys name!?

If you are willing to do that I am more then willing to do take them!! I went to Old Navy and the 18's fit!! They were a little snug but I think its mostly just because TOM is about rear it's ugly head! Send me a message if you are really interested and I can send ya a money order or something for it. Just let me know how much. I would be more then happy to send off my old clothes to anybody. I know lildebbie actually doesn't live too far from me!
LittleSpy-That's awesome that you saw 208! Looks like the eating more is paying off!!
Jesyka-That is fantastic that you have such a great attitude. I love all Jillian Michaels DVD's. I even bought a few of the Biggest Loser ones. Thought they were fantastic for an at home workout.
LilDebbie-I had the same problem when we first got our cat and just took the Walgreens brand of Zyrtec for about 2 months everyday and now it doesn't even faze me. Could just be temporary.0 -
Hey! I want free clothes!!! I need 18s tooo!:sad:
jlb- CONGRATS ON THE 208!!!!!! THATS SO WXCITING...ONDERLAND HERE YOU COME!!!:drinker:
Jesyka- have you thought of a challenge yet? no pilates pleaseeeeeeeeee!:laugh:
checking in 3/27/10:
calories- under by like 20
water- not yet but gonna work on it
sodium- way over I think around 3000
excercise-none
proud- that I didnt blow the day
My BFF who now lives in NC is in town and we went to Panera's and while I did eat what I normally would I made sure to eat lightly the rest of the day. Gonna try to make an apperance at the gym tomorrow to pay for it
oh and I saw a 214 on the scale today...I hope when TOM leaves that I will be at least at a 215 which is my April 30th goal!! Yippeee!!
Good night gals,
Cris0 -
Woot! Apparently, in celebration of my 208, I thought I should treat myself to a chocolate cream pie shake from Sonic. :laugh: It's okay -- I worked outside with kids all morning (lots of walking, jumping, bending, squatting). And then played tennis for 2 hours. Plus I'm counting it as dinner so I'm way under on calories today.
So, I still suck hard at tennis but, yeesh, I'm in so much better shape than my friends. :ohwell: I thought my bf tired out fast on Thursday but my friend who used to play tennis & I thought was in pretty good shape go tired really fast - so tired she just stopped playing and went and sat down next to the fence after like an hour. Then I played "ironman" (raquetball term?) against my bf and her husband. Yep. Lil' ol' me against 2 big athletic men.
And, I gotta say, I sucked, but.... not as much as they did. :laugh: I think Matt (friend) was commenting to my bf about my energy level or something because I picked up like "yeah... she.... exercise bike... treadmill....." (it was really windy so I couldn't hear very well).
Anyway, I just think it's really funny that... well, I guess that my endurance/stamina is so much better than people I wouldn't have considered to be very out of shape. Makes me happy for me but kind of sad for everyone else. :indifferent:
We were invited out to dinner by another couple to an AWESOME burger joint (featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives a few months ago, actually) so... yeah, that's like all I get to eat tomorrow. :laugh: So, yeah, that 208 may not be sticking around afterall, but I'll get it back in a few days.0 -
I love the puppy. I had a mini daschund when I was growing up and it looked exactly like yours. Too cute!!
I didn't weight on on Friday morning because I am totaly disgusted with myself. I had that great week, where I lost 8 pounds. Then, I could not stop shovelling the food into my face. I just feel sick about it. So, I have actually gained 4 pounds this week. Has anyone heard of PGX ? Apparently, it is an all natural appetite supressant. It is some kind of super fibre that bulks up, and makes you feel full. I have to try something. I just can't seem to stay on a plan for more than one week. All suggestions are welcome.
Way to go, Bluenote, so glad that you are down and back on track!!
LittleSpy - way to go, 208 is great. The treat was deserved, too.
Everyone on this board is amazing and achieving great things.0 -
All this talk about puppy, I was all like "what, what, what!!!" someone got a puppy??? And I had to seek out the little one....So cute!!!!0
-
Alright, so since I'm new at this challenge bit I kinda cheated lol. I was first thinking with all the talk this week about the 30 day shred I'd make the first circuit our challenge, but then thought that not everyone will have her video...Then I started searching.
I've found this cardio blast workout...It seems a fair amount like the 30 day shred. It's about a half hour work out and I figure it will be quite a challenge if applied the same way Jillian does, push yourself as hard as you can handle, without taking any breaks.
Accomplishing this full workout all at once, without the breaks should be enough of a challenge this week, But I'd also like to throw in making sure we all get at least our 8 glasses of water as recommended [taking from topics mentioned this week]
Here's the link..
http://exercise.about.com/library/blcardioblast.htm
Littlespy-I'd say your milkshake was well earned [and I bet it tasted great
] With all the activity you had today I'd say you deserved it!
Cris-Hope you enjoyed your outting with your BFF And here's hoping that the scale shows you that 215, or stays at 214 [or lower :happy: ] so that you can achieve your goal wayy early!!
Checking in..
Calories-All exercise calories left over [making up for yesterday :laugh:]
Exercise-90min walk
Water-Only 3 glasses
Proud-That I went to the farmers market and got a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies to snack on YUM! 0 -
Checking in!
Oh I started off so well!
Calories - over by a few (including my exercise calories)
Water - fine
Exercise - 15 minutes jogging (in 5, 3 minute sessions) 45 minutes walking plus 60- minutes on a bike! Over 1000 calories (and then I ate them:ohwell: )
Proud- I burned the 1000 calories that I over ate yesterday! (and now I'll have to burn them again tomorrow:sad: )
Found a new sushi place in Akron -omg so good! I wanted to stick to the Sashimi that's not too unhealthy but some of their sushi rolls were out of this world!0 -

sutts, never worry about your weigh-in with us. Weigh-ins are for you to keep yourself in check and also for us to help you celebrate the success and lift you up when it's not so great. Many of us have had weeks like you're going through, where we have a huge loss then gain some the next week. It's OK! Like the gals tell me on here, there is no way you gained 4 pounds in one week. It is mostly water weight and will come off soon.
As for the supplement, I do not take any of those types of things so I cannot help you there. When you say "I have to try something", can you look back and review the week and see what changes you can make to not repeat that cycle again? Just a thought... :flowerforyou:0 -
:noway:
My scale spit out 207.2 many times in a row this morning. But, I'm not counting it because 1) I slept FOREVER (Oh, it was so nice) so I know I had to be dehydrated and 2) I'm eating at Pawleys Front Porch tonight. Yeah.. 1/2 pound cheeseburgers, sweet potato fries, and fried pickles. Hey, eating more is what my body obviously wants and I'm happy to oblige.
I'm not even going to try to weigh myself tomorrow. :laugh:
I'm eating a healthy breakfast, mowing the lawn, and working out before I go and since I can't eat nearly as much as I used to, I'm sure I'll actually be okay calorie wise. But the sodium... I'll be drowning myself the rest of the week trying to flush it all out. 0 -
Sutts -What BlueNote said :bigsmile: Sometimes on Friday we just add our name to the list, put in a "0" and say we were unable to suffer through the weigh in so we're going with a zero.
I was down in the 170s last week! Granted it was due to a little dehydration and some low volume of food in my gut system (I, for once, wasn't full of Shi#~) but I TOOK THE NUMBER!
(edited because I accidentally saved changes before I was done!)
I'm going off my water pill. I've been on it for a few years because my legs would swell up like troll legs. Now that my weight is down I'm going off of it to see if my exercise and lower sodium intake is enough to keep something similar to an ankle in sight! I know that between my bounce up from the 170s due to getting more food in this week, and going off the water pill I'll be seeing number that I don't want to face for at least two weeks. But in the long run (and isn't this about the long run?) I'll be healthier if I'm off that medication. It will also allow my doctor to better determine what's going on with my high blood pressure. My doctor is the one that suggested I try going off the water pill...
On a happier note- I slept in forever this morning! Partly because last night Mrs. Fig was soooo cute snuggled into our bed with Ken, that I decided to try letting her sleep with us for the night. She's over 130 lbs... we have a queen sized bed but it wasn't quite big enough for all of us. At one point she got off the bed to sleep on the cooler hard wood floor - ahhhhh I could stretch out WITH covers! Then she got back in bed with us around six AM and I was pinned between her and my DH and couldn't get out from under the blankets for my hot flashes - grrrrr but she was soooo snugly and cute! Once she was ready to go outside with the other dogs around 8, I went back to bed and SLEPT - very nice!
Now I'm having my "breakfast" of Greek yogurt with honey and giant fresh strawberries! I'm using the yogurt as a dip and omg is it fabulous! Later we'll head up to the track and I'll try to make some ground up for Friday/yesterday's sins...
Have a great Sunday! (was going to go to church but bed was just too nice!)0 -
Cris - Love the new profile picture.You can so tell your face is getting so much smaller.You look GREAT!!! Are you still doing 1200 calories and not eating any of your exercise cals.By the way how long do you exercise a day?Hey! I want free clothes!!! I need 18s tooo!:sad:

Good night gals,
Cris0 -
Oooooph! Just remembered that I didn't log the wine or the 1.5 spring rolls from last night. POOF! Over by 500.:noway:
how depressing.:sick:
and it's raining...
I think I'll just go back to bed. :yawn:
NOT - off to the gym soon! 0 -
So I attempted to start the 30 day shred today...
I made it through the first 5 minutes, made the mistake of trying to do it while my toddler was up and running around. But let me tell you...I cannot do a push-up to save my life! I tried the modified, on your knees stature and I managed one real one. I so hope that this gets easier and that I'll be able to at least complete the modified push-ups. I however will NOT be moving on to anything else on the video until I do!!
Msthal- Yay for going off your water pill. Hope your body cooperates with you and that you don't have any issues from it Ah sleeping in, how I really really miss that! I'm nursing my newborn so sleep is a very broken aspect in my life right now, and then my toddler is up and going by 7am :laugh: I had the same thing for breakfast this morning! [though instead of greek yogurt it was fat free vanilla yogurt, but strawberries dipped in it YUM!! Tastes better than chocolate
Littlespy-Enjoy you're dinner tonight, I'm sure that drowning yourself all week will be more than worth it lol!0 -
I'm checking in early tonight, for it is my last day of spring break and I have a lot of things to do. You know, the list you make before you go on vacation/break of things to do, then you try desperately to finish as many as you can the night before you go back to work? Yeah, that list.
Where did the week go?!?!?!?!? :sad: :sad: :sad: :brokenheart: :sad: :sad: :sad:
check in:
cals: OK but again over on sodium by 900 this time - ugh!
water: 90
exercise: the full monty - bike, arms, pilates (my muscles!!! :grumble: )
proud: today I helped carry some heavy equipment up two flights of stairs. I was winded for sure, but it wasn't like I was dying like I had been in the past! :drinker:0 -
BlueNote- I'm so proud of you for helping carry heavy stuff up two flights of stairs! That's freaking awesome! At 212 I was totally winded after walking MYSELF up two flights let alone carrying heavy stuff! ROCK ON!:drinker:
OK I am lame. I got up and dressed in work-out clothes today then played on the computer and tried my best to stalk MFP but not so much activity here... finally at like SIX PM we went up to the fitness center to officially join (we've been on a free two - week trial) and since it's Kent State's spring break the rec center closes at 7! So we had an entire half hour to walk before it closed. No biggy right? We could have walked outside even though it was cool and drizzly because heck - I wear a t-shirt to walk at lunch in the freezing snow!
No.
We went out to eat. Which we couldn't afford financially OR calories - but yeah. I didn't do horribly bad but still wtf am I doing to myself!
Tomorrow it's up at 5 for at least 30 minutes on the elliptical then off to the rec center for my week 3 day 3 of the 5K101- and some swimming if we have time! And NO MORE slacking I say!

Proud - that we joined the wellness center! I didn't think Ken would want us to get the joint membership and he did! I'm so excited that we're putting this into our weak budget because it's the first time we've really put our health first! Even if he just walks on the track at least he'll be going up with me! And I'll be able to swim and use their bikes to train for my mini triathlon in July!!! So excited!0
