CHECK IT OUT BUT WARNING: MAY MAKE YOU HUNGRY OR MAY MAKE UP VOMIT!!!!
I was pretty disgusted by MOST pictures...my stomach actually churned
JLB- There is a special guiness treat on page 3 :laugh:
Aw, I can't see the pictures at work. It'll have to wait. But, based on the names of most of them, they sound delicious. :laugh: Banana corn dog?! I mean, come on! THAT's a corndog I can get on board with!
lol you might be singing a different tune when you see some of the pictures...some did look good I wont lie :blushing:
WOW! A few of those pictures really made me want to be sick...then I saw the cookie dough cheesecake and the oreo fudge....sweets are my weakness lol...Really not a wonder how I ended up this weight :embarrassed:0 -
Wooohooo!! My Mom's going to watch my dog in the morning so I can still do the 5K!!! YAY!!!0

Fill up on low calorie veggies or a handful of nuts to get you through these times. I also learned from these gals that hard boiled eggs, peanut butter, or oatmeal does the trick, too. Good luck! And drink warm tea for that throat with a little honey.Ok so today has been challenging because i have been CONSTANTLY HUNGRY!!
I thought i was eating pretty well but by lunch I had already consumed 1175 of my 1200 calories ! WHAT THE HECK!
I had oatmeal & melon with oj & coffee for breakfast & then by 10am I was already starving so I ate my lunch of a single weight watcher receipe chicken enchilada & for lunch I had Campell's select light chicken soup with a sandwich thin & a handful of pecans.
I have had close to 60 ounces of water so far too...
What is wrong with me today? I am going to have to do at least an hour hard on the elliptical & then eat my exercise calories just to make it through dinner
But the scale this morning did say I was down to 220 which is 1.4 lbs less than monday....I just don't want this hunger thing to screw it all up this weekend...
And on top of all of it, my throat hurts :-( I really am hoping my students didn't give me some stupid cold
Any advice?0 -

Hajohnson & Mstahl - hope you are having a fab time with your horse activities this weekend
Hajohnson & 1stpaul - WTH??!! - your coworkers need to be put in their place, ear picking and nail clipping have NO PLACE in the office, just gross. :noway: Makes me happy that I mostly work with women and gay men :bigsmile:
Momma - so lovely to hear that your sin did well with the new teachers. The right teachers just make all the difference don't they.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow, you sounded so defeated in your post. We are here for you, stick with us or we'll hunt you down and drag you back in :bigsmile:
Little Spy - I so with you on the hot dogs. Just can't bring myself to eat one anymore ever since a friend in the meat industry told me what they are made from. Talk about TMI :noway: So cute your plan to clean the house and all for your BF. Sounds like it was a good evening anyway even though it all went a bit pear shaped at first. OOOHHH and a Medium?!?! That is a lovely word.
Spy and Cris and Awestfall - you guys are cracking me up with your bras and shoes, or lack thereof
Cris - that food site is pretty amazing, I could totally go for a donut topped cupcake.....but I won't. Amazing job in the mast few weeks with the workouts, you are on a losing streak :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile:
Elmox & KdubMommy - great job upping the water. It gets easier, promise

Mstahl - that's wonderful idea, staring again as though it were your 1st week of weight loss. Remember how dedicated that 1ts week was.....dreamy :flowerforyou: :drinker:
So I broke down at watched biggest loser for the 1st time this evening. I watched the episode from last week when they won cars.
I liked it but it was so loonnggg, it seemed to last forever. Are all the episodes that length?? Anyway I was so scared of Jillian, I have some of her videos but I had no idea how tough she was. :huh: She is so friendly in the videos....yikes. I love the father and daughter., it was so cute how excited he was to give her the car.

water - good over 100oz
Exercise - walking
Phew, sorry for the long post. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!0 -
I just ate a huge portion of chicken asparagus risotto. It was delicious but TOO much. Why didn't I stop when I felt full? Ugh. :grumble: I really, really have to work on that. I've got to the point where my body actually gives me the signal that I am full, and I acknowledge it, but then I pick that fork back up ten minutes later and BAM the whole plate is eaten! :sad: I'm thinking if I am out to eat and this happens, I'll get a doggie bag quickly to get it out of my sight. At home, I'm going to try putting half in the fridge. I am going to beat this beast! :explode:
check in:
calories: under by 31 calories INCLUDING a huge amount of exercise cals! Damn risotto. :mad:
water: 96
exercise: everything under the sun and then some, and lemme tell ya - I am STILL HURTING from yesterday's PT session! So tonight's exercises were NOT fun!
proud: I lost one inch in almost every area of my body since last month! :bigsmile: I even lost an inch in my neck. LOL Who loses in their neck? I guess me! I lost 3 inches in my arms! Ta-tas = .5 <----better than nothin'! :ohwell:0 -
Momma, I have a kitten named Mojo, so if you need some mojo, you can have him!
PLEASE! :laugh: SOMEONE TAKE HIM!
But seriously, losing your mojo sucks; finding it again is priceless. You can do it, Momma! :drinker: You have been here for all of us, let us help you find that mojo! :flowerforyou: 0 -
Mojo comes and goes, but it always returns!!
Checkng in from yesterday:
Cals: 1867 with 250 exercise left
Water: 80 oz
Exercise: 90 min of cardio in the hotel
Proud: I'm working out on vacation and I managed to keep myself to two beers last night.0 -
Elmox- I am so proud of you! Working out on a vacation!? what a concept! I never EVER would have even considered it...but maybe next time I will! Good job!
I am a little ticked off right now....I made a ham sandwich for lunch and the sandwich itself was 250 calories...good right? Well the sodium was 1015!!! WTF!!! Grrrrr:explode:
I have a baby shower at 2pm so I am eating lunch now then eating a snack before I go and hoping that I avoid food while Im at the party all together...WISH ME LUCK!
Jess- let us know how you do on your 5k today!
Everyone else- enjoy your weekends!!!
Cris0 -
Well ladies I completed the 5k! WOOHOO!! I didn't do as well as I had liked. There were I thik around 20 thousand people at the walk. It was in downtown fort worth on very narrow streets. It took us 30 minutes just to get the first mile down. After that the crowds started to spread out and were able to get the last 2+ miles done in less then 30 minutes. There were HILLS!! Who puts a hill in a 5k!? Just wrong if you ask me! But we didn't let us slow it down and we huffed it! We did it in just under an hour. Susan G Komen will have another one in a local city that I did last year in June that I plan to do and RUN. I told my friend to start training because I want to run/jog the whole thing. I posted a few pics in my profile! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
elmox-That is so awesome! Exercise AND only 2 beers! Great job!!0 -
Jess -- I'm so proud of you! I'm really glad you got to do the 5k today. Hope your pup is feeling better.
bluenote - that risotto sounds delicious! I have a recipe for an asparagus barley "risotto" that I really want to try but I haven't gotten the gumption to stand over a pot for an hour making it. :laugh: Yum. I'm doing better with the overeating thing. I've pretty much struggled with that forever, even with the new lifestyle. When I have high calorie take out, somehow I always try to find an excuse to overeat. I'll sit there & eat all of whatever bad for me food it is thinking "What's the difference, I'm going to eat it all eventually anyway." :grumble: The last few times I've just had to sit myself down and say "The difference, dummy, is that if you eat it all now, you'll have to eat something else tomorrow or later. And even if that something else is healthy, it's still extra calories. If you just split the take out up and have half now, you can eat half tomorrow instead of eating something else." Yes, reasoning with myself about food takes a serious conversation-type inner dialogue. :laugh: Anyway, I finally got through to myself & ate half of my dinner Thursday & then ate it for breakfast and lunch Friday. Then I halved my dinner Friday and ate the rest for lunch today. So, even though I ate out twice in the last 2 days, I ate about 1000 calories less over those 2 days by splitting up the meals.
I had an epically bad day at work today. So bad I'm seriously considering telling them not to schedule me again until further notice (in lieu of just flat out quitting). I very nearly walked off the shoot after they sent me the same camera I told them several weeks ago was faulty. It worked intermittently for me today which is an extremely frustrating thing to have happening when you're shooting 4-5 year olds. You have about 2 seconds of good facial expressions & proper posing before completely losing the kid altogether & the camera wasn't performing properly so I'd go to click the photo & nothing would happen and by the time I got the camera working again the kid was uninterested in cooperating. So then that made for irritated (and irritating) parents and then the camera completely crashed -- like totally broken -- and I had a bit of a meltdown. :laugh:. Sorry for the rant. :laugh:
I was so happy when we finished (the rest of the shoot was chaotic because there was only one photographer/camera left to finish the shoot) and I was able to stop by the shoe store to look for the Vibram Five Fingers shoes. I found them, but not my size. Not even close. :ohwell: They had the exact ones I wanted & with my coupon they would've been $60! I didn't expect to be able to find them that cheap. And, well I guess I didn't since I don't wear a size 5 or a size 11 which were the only 2 sizes they had. Since it's an overstock type store, they can't order sizes or even tell me when any more will come in. I tried on the 11s(which were a Vibram size 42) just to see how they felt and I *definitely* want to buy some - they're awesome! I think I'm going to go to one of the other stores in my city that carries them & find the perfect fit & then try to find them online below retail. I have a hard time paying retail prices for shoes. I'm not sure I ever have, actually. But, especially not when the retail price is over $100. :laugh: Can't do it. Too cheap.0 -
Jess - great job on the 5K! Congrats! We are so proud of you! :flowerforyou:
jlb - yes, I need to have a good talkin' to myself, too, and make sure I relay that entire story you told yourself to myself! :noway:
check in:
calories: good
water: not as much as I'd like: 84
exercise: bike, arms, PT, pilates
proud: I cleaned my house today! Finally! 0 -
Jess - Congrats on your 5K! I can't wait until I am able to run one again. I used to do cross country in HS... that seems like so long ago! I have tried to do C25K a few times, but I always get stuck in W5. I hope to be able to do it again after I lose a little weight. Great job!0

The wedding was great fun. My hubby kept telling me I looked great, which is always wonderful to hear. I only drank two vodka sodas with a splash of cranberry, filled half my plate with salad, a third of it with steamed veggies, and only had room for 3 small potato chunks and a slice of prime rib. The cake was delicious and I throughly enjoyed my one piece.
Jess, I am so proud of you and your 5k! I hope to run one some day, so it's great motivation to know others who have.
Cris, thanks for "hooray" I was pretty adamant about getting a hotel with an exercise room and making time for it on Friday and Saturday.
Check in from yesterday:
Cals: pretty much right on. Used ALL of my exercise cals, so I ended up eating about 2000 in a day. Whoa!
Water: harder to get in on vaca. 64 oz only
Exercise: 80 min of cardio
Proud: walking away from the delicious fried food that was ordered at the bar after the wedding. I had a few bites and then walked away before those few bites became an entire basket of tater tots!0 -
Quick check in before singing gig:
calories: OK
water: hope to get to 96
exercise: the full monty
proud: I am wearing a size 4x shirt today! And it looks good on me - not too tight like it was last month! :bigsmile: Plus now my dress pants are loose - they are not made of stretch material so it took a while for those to feel loose. LOL0 -
Jess- SO glad you got to do the run! Hope you enjoyed it and I hope your dog is doing better
Elmox- way to go walking away from the tempting wedding food! Sounds like you had a great time
Littlespy- Your day at work sounds like a day from hell. It's hard enough trying to keep a young child's attention..let alone having to try to balance that with a faulty camera
Cris-Ham is a deceptive devil! All great with the calories and then the sodium content sneaks up on you lol. I hate ham...mainly because of the salty taste so I don't know much about different varieties but maybe they make one with a lower sodium content?
I've slacked off big time. Today would make my FOURTH day with no exercise:grumble: So I'm going to force myself to do my Walk away the pounds videos tonight to make up for it. 3 videos, 1, 2, and 3 miles so together I can do 5 miles in about 2 hours time:).0 -
I'm writing from my iPhone so it won't be long but bottom line- I did not behave at the baby shower..... Wasn't over calories too badly, about 1400 which is too high for me on a non excercise day but I just made really poor choices. The fact that I still can't control myself is kind of scary and reminds me that I still have a long way to go. I tried to be extra good today to make up for it so at least I'm proud of that!
On TMI I apparently am also full of &$$@$): I just lost like 3lbs in a few mins, lol sorry had to share!!
Good night!0 -
Alright. I'm actually really excited about this week. If I haven't kicked up my metabolism over the last 4 days, there's just no way I'll ever do it. :laugh: I've eaten at maintenance or maybe even very slightly over for about 4 days now & I plan it hit it HARD this week. If I don't see something under 204 by Friday I may very well throw a big tantrum two year old style. 0

Littlespy: Thanks for the inner conversation! I'm so the say way. If I said it all out loud people would think I'm nuts, but I'm sure my facial expressions change, so they may still think I'm nuts. Who knows?
irandamay: Welcome to this awesome group!
elmox: Way to go on the size 12 dress! That's so awesome. I think it would be so neat to run in Central Park; I'm jealous!
Pos_Me: Congrats on being half way to your goal. It's a great place to be!
Jess: I'm so glad the 5k went well and I think it's awesome that you and your friend plan on running the next one. I'm definitely going to attempt one by the end of June, but am taking my time deciding on which one.
So this weekend I didn't do too horribly on food and am actually down a bit from Friday morning. Hopefully things stay that way throughout the week.
Yesterday, I actually wore a dress (see my new profile pic) to my birthday dinner. I had not worn a dress since 2006, so it was weird, but strangely I felt really comfortable. I loved wearing my new high heeled zip-up boots because they made me feel sexy and the boyfriend loved them too. I'll admit that I was wearing one of those shaper undergarments but took it off when we got home. The funny thing is that nothing changed when I took it off! The new pic is without the shaper because I felt I needed an honest pic for you ladies here. I made my boyfriend take a pic of me just so I could post it here. He thought it was a bit funny but cooperated anyway. He's such a sweetheart. Between us, he couldn't keep his hands off me...
Oh, and I completed w9d1 on Friday morning with the dog. We got a full two miles done in that 30 minute jog, which felt really weird. I thought the dog was going to pass out before I even started feeling any burn in my legs, but he hung in there with me but laid on the floor looking half-dead the rest of the day. Meanwhile, I showered, got ready for the day then spent the ENTIRE day walking around the Horse Expo. Silly dog needs to workout more!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and I'll "see" you all tomorrow!

Made it home safely from Indy. Pretty much ate ALL my calories for the day before the plane took off, so I dusted off the Wii Fit and did an hour so I could eat dinner! I'm ready for a regular week (no special events) so I can hit this week hard.
Checking in for today:
Cals: just under with exercise cals
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 60 min on Wii Fit
Proud: I haven't been on my Wii Fit in 35 days and when I weighed in today, I had lost 9.6 lbs since I was on it last. Awesome to see this progress!0 -
Hello everyone!
We came back from KY early because Ken's 90 year old mom is in the hospital
So far tests have come back fine but she's a bit out of it and moans (not at all like her).
I did OK over the weekend - I was way over in calories Friday and Saturday but nothing like I would normally be! Oddly my mistakes (as I logged things in from memory tonight) seem to have been at breakfast! We went to Cracker Barrel both days and on Saturday I got Oatmeal with bananas, then also ate Ken's grits (such a little bowl). I'd had a tsp of peanut butter before we got there and that combined with a banana was a bunch more calories than I thought - for lunch I had more bananas and apples (the only fruit I could find at the local stop-n-shop) and for dinner Saturday night we went to a college bar in Lexington that was amazing - 'Magic Mushrooms' - had GREAT pizzas! I ordered a 10 inch chicken/artichoke/feta pizza and only ate 1/4 of the pie (such an amazing concept for me!), and I had a beer. Friday night Ken and I found a sushi house and had sushi and drank water so it wasn't too bad! Today I had another 1/4 of the left over pizza split between lunch and dinner. If it hadn't been for the happy hour we hosted in our hotel room Saturday during the big storm I would have done fine! :blushing: But a few oz. of cheese, two glasses of wine and some salami later...
Today I got up at 8 and dressed for a jog (it was beautiful outside) - when I got going my mp3 player was on the wrong track - instead of W6D3 I was on a week 7 supplemental which was two 20 minute jogs with a five minute recover walk between them. I decided that after two days of no exercise, this was a better plan than the one I was supposed to do (two twelve minute jogs). I had read the e-book LilSpy linked to -and decided to try to run more on the balls of my feet. I had already been trying to not land on my heels but this time I really focused on the technique and I wore these shoes I have that have just a rubber sole and stretch uppers like a glove. My sister gave them to me a few years ago and I've been wearing them this spring like slippers or sneakers. I think they were actually made for 'barefoot' running a few years ago - so they were perfect to use for this "new" style. "TSUBO" is the brand. My feet and calves are KILLING me now but it wasn't bad at the time! I'm really excited about this style and I'm seriously concidering retiring my new running shoes to "walking" shoes from now on! I think my hand-me-down sneakers will work for now and one day I'll be able to get the ones with toes!0 -

hey girls,
I had a horrible night of "sleep". I think I have some sort of sinus infection so I am home sick today. Im about to call the Dr to try to get an appt and hopefully get some meds. I feel sooo awful. I am not going to excercise today, going to get rest and take care of myself. I am going to eat properly though!
Hope everyone has a great day,
Cris0
