Good Morning girls:)
How is everyone this morning? I got my walking done once i sent my son to day school..he has a trip today and i had to send him in @ 9 am..instead of 12pm..so i got 2.5 miles of walking in 30 minutes. then i came home finished washing the laundry and cleaned my home..still cleaning.
I am better today, i was an eating machine yesterday, but i weighed myself and i am one pound up...before the walking. I am going to stay on track today..maybe eat less than normal because i know i ate so much..
Check in: 4/19/10
calories: over by 700, with exercise calories
exercise: 30 minutes elliptical and walked outside 30 minutes..3.2 mph
water: 128 oz..still flushing out my system
proud: i exercise even though i didn't feel like it
btw, i added some of you on my facebook...i dont have friends i only use it for college...0 -
You are so welcome!!! Welcome to our group!! We weigh in Fridays and challenges are weekly and they are picked by our biggest loser for the week.We check in daily with calories,water,exercise and something we are proud of ( only if you can do this its not required) But feel free to vent or share anything you want with us.This group is for anything and we all are a very supportive and motivated group so feel free to chime in whenever.Also I change the thread weekly so they don't get too crowded because we are a very chatty group.So if you ever notice its getting quiet in here look at the last post on the thread and I will have a new link on the last page for the new thread.Thanks Anne0 -
I've been so busy with my son being home that I havent had time to stalk, I mean post. He seems to be doing better so I took him to daycare today. I am nearly done catching up on all my work at the office but I couldnt help stopping in to say hello!
Thanks for all the comments on my dress- its not where I want to be but its better than where I was!
Jenn- OUCH! Thats a bad bad drink!
Jesyka- I always wondered how you had time to get on the computer with two young kids! My son will NOT let me get anything done. He will literally climb on me and start smacking the laptop or throws stuff at it until I put it away:laugh: :laugh:
SSO GUESS WHAT?! The scale said 209.6 this morning!!! I was sooo soo happy. Its the first time I've seen a 20?. I just hope it stick until Friday! I am going to be really good all week!
Today is BL weigh in at the gym and I am also going to be trying out a new class. Its called 'bodypump' its a weight lifting class I guess? I have really weak muscles and I am NOT looking forward to it. I know I will be sore as hell tomorrow. This is all in an effort to break through my plateau- I have increased cals by 50 (not much but Its really like 150 if you consider that I was not eating nearly 1200 before). I have incorporated the bike, spin class, now this weight lifting class in addition to my c25k run to change it up a bit. Before my excercise was mainly just c25k...hope it works cause Im in a lot of pain!0 -
OH MY GOSH you girls have been chatty! :laugh: I was away for 3.5 days and I missed SO much! I skimmed through the posts, but I'm sure I missed some things.
bluenote: Congrats on 70 pounds!
jess: LOVE the quilt - what a great idea!
Renae_Kay: keep at it, you can do it!
mstahl: Great article, thanks for posting it. and go nerds!
wiionderland: Welcome back!
kdubMommy: so sorry to hear about your former student, that has to be upsetting.
momma: I'm sorry about your scare with landing on your son ... I'm glad it sounds like he is ok. And just keep working with him, he'll get there and I'm sure he will be fine regardess of any problems he is having now - because he has so much support from you. I actually DID fall on my niece when she was a toddler and broke her foot. I felt HORRIBLE. I was carrying her down the stairs, and she was on my hip with one foot behind me and I slipped and fell down the stairs. I felt terrible, and was very embarrassed since I was with my in-laws and was less confident back then (and more self-conscious about my weight). My niece didn't cry very long and her foot seemed ok but she wouldn't put her full weight on it ... they ended up taking her to the doctor the next day because she still wasn't walking on it fully, and it was a stress fracture. I AM the fat aunt that broke her nieces foot by falling on her ... not at all fun. This is a niece that when she was older - at a family picnic - asked me why I was always so fat.... little @#$% (maybe she was getting even)... now that she is a teenager she is even more a little @#$%, I don't let her hang out with my daughter much because she isn't a good influence - even though she is 6 months younger than my daughter.
Happy Belated Birthdays! and welcome newbies! I like this week's challenge elmox.
I forgot everything else I was going to comment on ... so that is enough for now I guess.
check in for the weekend:
I stayed the same (AGAIN) ... so didn't even post my weigh-in results. I had a really good exercise weekend - Turbokick Friday morning, step and pump on Saturday, and step again on Sunday. But once again not so hot in the food department ... had a late Easter get-together with my family and we made an old favorite dinner for my dad, brothers and myself ... deep fried chicken, french fries and onion rings. My mom refused to make it anymore when I was about 12 and she joined weight watchers. So she agreed to let us make it if we cooked in the garage. It tasted really good for a few bites and then just tasted really greasy, but I still ate way too much - I think we all learned our lesson and don't need to make that meal again for awhile. We all had stomach aches that night. :sick:
I did ok yesterday but didn't track my food ... back to tracking today ...0 -
mstahl: I'm getting excited for you to ride! I was out with my horse again last night and it's been so relaxing to spend a few hours with her. Ahh, I love spring.
elmox: Congrats on the inches you've lost. That's awesome!
Jess: Way to go on getting to the gym. It sounds like you and Cris have a good plan going by working out together, but separately!
Cris: Way to go on Week 6!
Lisa: Welcome back! I hope you didn't mind me stalking you on your guestbook! Whoever was causing problems should be ashamed of themselves. Let us at 'em!
Meokk: Good luck with the Jillian No More Trouble Zones. I actually like that DVD, but it is a bit intense and challenging (probably why I like it!). Speaking of which, I need to get back to that one. Oh, and my boyfriend decided he doesn't hate Jillian anymore because she looked good in the new Men's Health Magazine article. Men...
KDub: I know what you mean about this group being addicting. I've spent way too many hours lingering, but it's motivational, so I can justify it to myself.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: 148 over
Sodium: Way over
Water: 16 oz.
Exercise: Catching, grooming and riding my horse
Proud: That I didn't fall off when my horse spooked and bolted, running faster than I've ever seen her run. This was the first time she's ever taken off running when spooked, so it took me by surprise but I stayed on and got her settled down quickly. Darn cracking tree branches. Of course, then she was scare of that side of the arena, so we had a training session to fix that and end on a good note. She kept sending evil stares to the barn cat who'd been watching us ride the whole time. I think she thought the cat made the noise even though I told Sadie (horse) that the cat didn't do it. It was entertaining.0 -
Cris - I do bodypump at the Y ... I like it - I find it less interesting than my step and kick boxing classes - but you can really see results quickly... and if I don't make it for awhile it shows bad results quickly too. Just take it easy tonight - not too much weight until you know what a good weight for you is for each exercise. I too have weak arm/shoulder muscles and that has gotten better after doing bodypump for a few years ... but my leg, back and chest strength is where I really have seen an improvement. But I still use much lighter weights for my arm and shoulder work ... especially shoulder. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the class!Today is BL weigh in at the gym and I am also going to be trying out a new class. Its called 'bodypump' its a weight lifting class I guess?

Thanks lstpaul!! I am a little scared, so I appreciate the tip on not overdoing the weights. You'd think that lugging around a 28lb kid all day long would make me stronger, but nooooo :laugh: :laugh:0 -

Don't be scared! If it's a good instructor they will also tell you to use very light weights tonight, so that you can make sure you have good form before you add weight. The last thing you want to do is overdue it and get injured right away. I will tell you that I have always been embarrassed about my fat arms, and last summer I was incredibly excited to wear sleeveless shirts most of the summer - my arms were still fat but looked much better because they were toned completely due to my bodypump class. Have fun!0 -
You guys are all talking about these fun workout classes! I need someone to go with me!! :sad: I'm too much of a whimp to try 'em out alone!!0

Do it, do it, do it..... I was always afraid to try classes too ... but one evening about 10 years ago I was sitting on my butt watching my daughter at swimming class at the Y, sweating and uncomfortable from the hot pool area, and completely unhappy with how out of shape I was, when I had an epiphany. 'Why am I sitting here uncomfortable doing nothing, when I could be up one floor doing an exercise class instead - and it's while my daughter is at her class so it isn't taking any extra time out of my schedule?'. So before I could change my mind I walked upstairs - in whatever clothes I had on (not exercise clothes), and tried the class that happened to be going on. Luckily it was an easy beginner step class and I enjoyed it. After I had done that for about a year I worked up the guts to try a harder step class on the weekends too.. and then after another co-uple of years of watching people doing the bodypump class after my step class ... I made myself stay and try it because I heard a few other people say they were new that day too. This year I started going to a turbo kick class (which is COMPLETELY out of my comfort zone) ... but it so fun. I absolutely love my exercise classes at the Y ... I have made friends there in each class - so it is a little social time that sometimes I desperately need since my job is so solitary and I enjoy exercise (most of the time) instead of dreading it ... and I FEEL so much better - even if I'm not losing weight quickly lately - I KNOW that I'm much healthier than I was before I worked up to this level of exercising. I really encourage you to try a class, I know they aren't for everyone - but I have really gotten a lot out of them.
I made a friend of mine go with me last Friday to turbokick (have asked her many, many times and she finally did it)... she doesn't know if she will be going back to that class with me because she pulled a butt muscle :ohwell: ... but she thinks she will be trying a step class with me soon. Last summer she had a Y family membership for her kids (there is a Y within a mile from her house) ... but she never went herself. So hopefully now she will try some classes too!
Wow I talked for a long time ... I should do a commercial for the Y!0 -
Hey everyone. What a busy thread! thanks for all the encouragement with my bike riding, I think my butt is getting immune to all the pain and pressure slowly but surely :laugh: It didnt ache for as many days after friday as it did the first saturday I took it out a week and a half ago. Anyway, checking in for yesterday
Calories: Right on
Water: over
Exercise: none
Proud: I finaly dropped down to my lowest weight again for the first time in a week and a half or something. I'm finaly getting snacking under control with some tips from my friend at work who's on the body for life plan...he told me when I'm eating closer to bedtime, phase out the carbs (cereal, bread, pretzels) and eat some good protien rich foods like dairy or nuts or even fruit. And though I've only done it one day, I've managed to keep snacking down and had a bit of yogurt after dinner which satisfied me the rest of the night. Awesome! So now I'm back down to 234.8, and hoping to go lower tomorrow! :bigsmile:0 -
Okay. So I've checked out the class schedule at my gym. They have an early morning cycle class I could do or and late night step plus abs class. And then a few on Saturday's and Sunday's. I'm kind of anxious to try it out. You have me talked into it lstpaul! But I don't know if I should try it this week or not. I'm afraid I'm going to overdue it this week because I have the 5K on Saturday.0
-
Good for you! But I agree with you ... don't overdue it or you won't want to go back. Maybe plan a class or two into your schedule for next week. Yeah! :drinker:Okay.

Jess: From everything I've read about running in races (5k, marathon, etc.), you should take rest days the two days prior to the event. Littlespy can probably give more info or insight to this than I can, but it's something you may want to keep in mind. If it were me, I'd take it easy this week by sticking to your normal workout routines. After the 5k, sign up for those group classes. I used to be scared, too, but they're fun and you might meet a friend who will exercise with you...since you're not in Minnesota to go hiking with me!
lstpaul: Yes, you should be on the commercials for the Y. Their "Fat Pants" billboards and commercials crack me up. Gotta love it!
Mari: Congrats on being back at your lowest weight. That's so awesome! You'll be under 230 in no time!0 -
My digital scales do the same thing!!! UP and Down all the time so I don't really know for sure what my real weight is.And my digital scales are cheap as well so I am wondering if I should upgrade to a more expensive digital or if I should just go analog???? Any advice?Also something funny I noticed this morning:
I have 2 scales -- an old dial scale and a new digital scale. Both cheap. :laugh:
I started at 270 on my digital scale and 255 on my dial scale. That's all well and good, because I could track my weight on either scale. Except... the amounts each scale says I have lost are different now. The've been the same up to this point... yet, now I'm stuck on my digital scale but I'm continuing to lose weight according to my dial scale!! How effed up is that?
This morning I was 206.2 on my digital scale. Yep, 2.2 pounds over last Friday. That would be 64 pounds lost. I was 187 on my dial scale... yep... 68 pounds lost. The last time I weighed on my dial scale, I was 192. I was 206 on my digital scale then, too. Where'd that 4 pounds go, eh? I'm wondering if I should get some fresh batteries for my digital scale.
Oh, and also, my digital scale thought it would be really funny on Sunday. I weighed in the evening, fully expecting a 209 or so because of all the sodium & steak I had eaten and it gives me a 199.4. I almost DIED! And then I stepped back on and it gave me 207 like 20 times in a row. :laugh:0 -
I would totally go with you and be scared at the same time but only if I lived closer we could be terrified together LOL:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:You guys are all talking about these fun workout classes! I need someone to go with me!! :sad: I'm too much of a whimp to try 'em out alone!!0 -

Well, I don't know anything official. :laugh: But I imagine I'd want to take it pretty easy for a couple days before. If you overdo it & are sore or tired or crampy or uncomfortable otherwise, your race won't be very much fun.
On another note involving WAY TMI, I had to run home during lunch for unspeakable reasons and I'm now 2.4 pounds lighter. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

Was that on the digital or analog scale?Should I invest in a better digital or just get an analog dial scale? Because I am having the same problem as you are but mine are both digitals and I have chnged the batteries many timesJess: From everything I've read about running in races (5k, marathon, etc.), you should take rest days the two days prior to the event.

Cris, you weren't wrong. On multiple levels!
Awestfall - It was on the digital scale. I weighed myself before and after. :laugh: I really don't know what you should do. I'm going to give my digital scale another chance with some new batteries. It has been pretty consistent. It *always* eventually picks a number & sticks with it.
And until very recently, my weight loss was exactly the same on both scales, even if they weighed me 2 totally different weights. I feel like the digital scale is more accurate, though it may actually weigh me a little heavier than I am. I know my dial scale weighs me at least 10 pounds lighter than I am according to any doctor's scale. So, yeah, I have no idea. 0 -
I love LOVE my digital scale - but it was expensive ($70ish- NOTE IT'S ON SALE NOW!). If you look online the Weight Watchers is rated pretty bad for giving inconsistent readings. There are a bunch that are rated well and I'm sure any one of them will work fine!
Mine is this one
http://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-510W-Composition-Monitor-Scale/dp/B001IV61J4/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1271786942&sr=1-15
and we have this one at work-

both seem pretty consistent but mine is rock solid same weight every time and the one at work will give different reads by a few tenths of a pound... I like mine because I can keep track of my body fat % and it helps me see changes when my weight isn't moving much. Like this last month I've been slowly moving from 50% fat (yes... it's true
) to about 48% fat and my muscle's moving up too! (the difference is stuff like bones and guts) I DON'T like that it estimates your body age. My 32 year old sister has a body age of 18. I have a body age of 62 (it was 63). That's kinda cruel... 0 -

Thank you for a much needed laugh! That's phenomenal and I love that you weighed before and after!0 -
jlb- lol, I weigh myself before and after too, I guess I am not such a weirdo!
mstahl- I have a WW and its sooo bad. I swear I'll like breathe and it changes my weight, even if I flinch or something. I have another one that I use that does BMI, weight, bone density, and body fat. I dunno how accurate it is though, but even that scale has been acting up lately.
GUESS WHAT Y'ALL?! I GRADUATED FROM THE 200 SIT UP CHALLENGE TODAY! I DID 200 IN A ROW! OMG IT BURNED!!!0 -
I have a $19.99 Target digital scale and it is very consistent ... sometimes frustratingly consistent because I'll move it around the room trying to get a lower reading and it doesn't budge! 0
-
can someone help me figure out how to put the 'graduation badge" on my facebook? Im so confused0
-
Goodness gracious I leave for an hour for lunch and BOOM!! It gets slammed on this board! I love it!!
Cris-Congrats on graduating the sit up challenge!!! That's so awesome!!!
LittleSpy-That is one big bathroom break! I'm not going to lie. I'm kinda jealous! :laugh: I do the same thing too. So you and Cris aren't freaks. Or are we all freaks? Hmmm..
I think I'm going to take it easy and just my c25k this week since I have the 5k Saturday morning. I don't know how much I will be running in this one cause I'm going with my friend but I'm gonna try. I plan to try out a fitness class or two next week. Hope I can keep this motivation up to do it next week. Don't let me back out!! :indifferent:
I was naughty and went out again for lunch today! But I had chicken fajitas with NO NO NO tortillia! That's huge for me!! So I'm okay on calories. Just not on sodium. What's my freaking problem!? :explode:0 -
Well I have a Weight Watchers Scale and a Health-O-Meter and I am beginning to think bot are crappy because I get so many different readings.I am not worried about what I weigh I just would like to know exactly what I weigh and go from there.Ya know what I mean?I love LOVE my digital scale - but it was expensive ($70ish- NOTE IT'S ON SALE NOW!).

OH mstahl. You talked me into the scale.
You almost talked me into it last time but I thought "BAH, forget it! Who cares how much you really weigh?!" Turns out I do. :laugh: And I know the bioimpedence bodyfat analysis isn't always the most accurate (and Mari has shared some great tips for making it more so)... but I figured I'd pay $59.99 for the scale (with free 2 day shipping since I signed up for Amazon Prime & already cancelled it) & check my weight & body fat that way rather than spend $50 to wear a swimsuit in front of a strange man to have my bodyfat tested hydrostatically. For now, at least, the scale seems like the more comfortable option. I think what really really sold me on the scale is that it uses regular AA batteries and not the blasted lithium batteries mine uses. The cost of the 2 different types of batteries is such that in about a year, I'll probably make up for the cost of the scale in batteries alone!0 -
Jess - you have me inspired! I was just looking at 5Ks in my area! WTF? That is so NOT ME! But I think running a few would be a good idea before I attempt my baby Triathlon in August!
Edited to add - LilSpy I think you'll love it! It even has a guest function and my sister and her wife love that! I think they've started planning to visit about once a month so they can check in. My doctor scoffs at the impedance testing because "it won't work on females unless it goes from your feet to your hands" I said "it does exactly that" and he said "Oh." *silence* "then it should be pretty accurate" :laugh: I read the owners manual on every thing I buy - it seems like you always get some important details that helps you get more out of your stuff. One important detail they have is that before you have it measure you - hold your arms straight out at a 90 degree angle from your body.0
