checking in:
calories- 1210
water- i think so
sodium- 2335
excercise- nope still in recovery mode
proud- that I am not using my sickness to over eat and that I actually want to get back to the gym
So is anyone else watching BL right now? Because Im bawling like a little baby watching these people run the 5k. It makes me want to go right now and attempt one...even if it takes me 2hrs like it did the one lady...so inspiring I love this show
On another note- today was weigh in day at the gym. I showed a 8lbs loss!!! I knew I had a good week, even pre-sickness I was showing about a 5lb loss but the 8lbs caught me completely off guard! I am so excited to see where I am in the standings. With a loss of 8lbs my weight at the gym is 202.5lbs!!! At home my scale shows about 205. OMG I CAN SEE ONDERLAND AND ITS BEAUTIFUL!!
On a side note- once I am officially under 205 I will be done with my mini goals so I will have to come up with new ones!!! When I first though them up 4 months ago they seemed so unattainable and here I am almost done!! HOORAY!!
I am so amped to see if I can truly get to 150lbs...its been my goal weight for as long as I can remember!!!
Love u girls, lets really do a 5k together please!! i dont want to cross that finish line with anyone else but you all!!

Holy cow, Cris!!!! That's so AWESOME!!! :noway:
Here I was super excited because I think I may finally get under 204. I've been stuck here for weeks. :frown: I swear I'm done with this plateau crap. I'm busting my @ss from yesterday on. The next time I'm stuck at any weight for weeks it'll be my *goal* weight.

checking in
Calories - right around 1500 (ate 1/3 of my exercise)
Water - over 100oz
Exercise - 20 mins very brisk walking (4.0)
Proud that I stayed late and got my backlog of work done at the office, what a relief
Cris - so glad you are starting to feel better
and WOW is all I can say to 8lbs lost, you rock!!!!!!!!:drinker: 0 -
Checking in-
Calories - way under (but I can use a few days being under!)
Water - not quite
Exercise - walked at lunch
Proud - that I didn't take up my husbands offer to go to the gym then 'Ray's' and end up eating/drinking way too much!
I came home from work and took a nap and didn't get up until 9:30 - I think it's a combination of stress and maybe alergies or something. I had two spoons of peanut butter for dinner - YUM!
Ken's mom is holding her own -but still confined to the bed and can't hold her own weight to stand. I'm super stressed because I probably know a little too much and I know that every day she doesn't get out of bed it's less likely she'll recover.
Chris - EIGHT POUNDS? Did you deliver a baby this week? You are AMAZING! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
lol- uhm no I did not deliver a baby....my son however, did weigh 8lbs 9oz at birth:noway: ...something to look forward to jlb
:laugh:
I really dont know how accurate their scale is so let's say I lost like 5lbs ok
YAY NEXT WEEK IS MAKE OVER WEEK ON BL!!! I LOVE THAT WEEK! CANT WAIT!

04.27.10
Calories: 1527
Exercise: 25 minutes stationary bike averaging 17.28mph. Gotta get that up to 18mph, darn it! and a 35 minute 2 mile walk at lunch
Water: 13 cups
Proud: This plateau is breaking. I was down to 205 this evening which is the lowest I've ever been at night. I ate late dinner late since I worked until 9.30 tonight but I'm so totally going to be under 204 on Friday with TOM (hopefully... :laugh:) and all.0 -
I'm sitting on my porch shivering my butt off (hey, shivering burns TON of calories! :laugh:) and all I can think is how mstahl would be in heaven out here right now.
It's not cold by any stretch but after so may 90+ degree days already this year I feel like I'm freezing to death. It's like 50-55 and soooooo windy. I seriously can't stop shaking. I may stay out here for 15 more minutes or so just for the workout. :laugh:0 -
Okay so you are probably right that it would be hotter then...well...HOT in June. It is Texas so you could probably get anywhere from 80-100+...maybe not the most desirable conditions! I think it sounds like we might just have to meet up in St. Louis!
Cris that is so freaking amazing!! 8 pounds and 205!! WOW!! Pass some of that mojo this way again!! I take it the zig zagging calories is working well for you!?
On another happy note. I was getting ready for the Mav's game yesterday afternoon when I realized something...the 18's I bought a few weeks ago that were "snug" are now loose around the waist!! :bigsmile: Pretty excited!! I wasn't able to go to the gym this morning. Stayed out at my parents last night. LONG STORY! LOL And I saw 215.4 on the scale this morning! So that 3 pounds is gone plus 1! This new scale had showed me about a pound to 1/2 above my old scale so I'm all caught up and back on track! 5 pounds in a little over a week. Any suggestions Cris!? Pass some mojo this way! Attempting c25k 25 minute run again tonight. Hope for no interruptions! :laugh: Had to share my happy news! Be back later!0 -
wow girls! such chatter boxes.. lol..
Mstahl: I hope your MIL is doing well..keep us posted wiht her progress. As for the sushi rolls, my first time trying it/them were wiht my sister..boy is she upsessed with those things..she even got her hubby craving them..
Mari: sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he can kick the alcohol habit..small steps..and his family by his side will hopefully kock down that bad habit.
Cris: Congrates on you recent weigh loss..so we are no longer neck-an-neck...but it was fun while it lasted. You need to share your secret(s)..because i think i hit a wall...i am not budging from 209..210..last friday i was 207 but i have not seen that number again..and i have been very dedicated..please share...I am at a stand still
jib/littlespy: we are in the same boat.about hitting a wall or as you call it *plateau*,,We will get through this and hopefully see ONEderland ...we are only a few pounds away...we can do this!
Jess: The biggest loser was in your neck of the woods...did you watch yesterday? I was in tears when they were doing the 5k and the lady with 2 bad knees and she was saying that she couldn't even walk the aisle in walmart and now she is walking a 5k...this is why i love watching the show...it give us hope we can do anything we put our minds to.
Let me go..my son wants food..he just woke up..i will be back later..0 -
Morning!
Jess- I am not sure what helped me...I changed up my entire work out routine..adding intensity and different excercises, and like you said I have been zig zagging my calories. 1200-1250 on non or low intensity excercise days, and 1300-1400 on high intensity excercise days. I did that for only a week and the weight really did melt of. I am going to try to attempt w6d3 today too but Im not very optimistic...Im feeling tonz better but still feel really weak.
So this morning I was officially under 205 so I amdone with my mini goals...for now!! I am going to take some time to re-access my goals. Originally it was to lose 10lbs per month. That seems a little unattainable at this points so I think Im going to shoot for somewhere between 5-8lbs per month, not sure yet
Be back later with new goals :happy: :bigsmile:
Cris0 -
Happy Hump Day! I'm at a brand new all-time low. 203.4 this morning. FINALLY. Do you girls realize I've been stuck trying to get under 204.2 - 204 since APRIL 10TH?
In other good news, I think I feel a bit of TOM bloat/cramp coming on. :happy: (:frown:) Feels like it's a couple days off (oh yeah, TOM is a whole week-long event for me. :ohwell:). Maybe it'll show up just in time to ruin Friday''s weigh-in. :laugh: :laugh:0 -
jlb- 203 with TOM around the corner is AWESOME!! You know that means that the number is probably even lower!!! I bet after TOM comes and goes you will find yourself in ONDERLAND! I am so excited for you..You have been such an inspiration and I cant wait for you to get there!!!! YAY!!!0
-
I decided that at 5lbs per month I may feel too comfortable to cheat so I am aiming for 6lbs per month now which will still keep me working hard but is still a realistic goal .....1.5lbs per week...mini goals updated! :bigsmile:
Wish me luck!!!0 -
You guys are just rockin'!! I can't wait to be where you both are Cris and Little Spy!
PoS Me-Hang in there. You will bust through this plateau again! I know it. We will get you through it. I have not seen Biggest Loser from last night yet. It's on my DVR and I plan to watch it tonight. I had a Mav's game to attend! :bigsmile: I actually tried to go out to Cowboys Stadium the day they were doing the 5k but I couldn't go. I can't remember why. Was pretty bummed I didn't know about it ahead of time!
So I had to share a funny moment with you ladies. This guy told me yesterday that I was hotter then donut grease :laugh: :laugh: Why am I always being compared to food!? But anyways. I guses I should take it as a compliment in an odd way! Gotta love them good ole country boys from Texas! :laugh: Made me bust out laughing.0 -

:laugh: :laugh: Jess, donut grease IS really really HOT. Take the compliment and run 0 -
pos_me- Like I said I changed up my excercise routine and zig zagged my calories...Give it a try it might work for you too??0

Cris: Congrats on your 8 lb. loss! You're so copying the contestants on Biggest Loser now! I'm bummed because I didn't get to watch it last night nor will I be able to watch next week and Makeover week is my favorite! It seems this season makeover week is much further into the game. I'll have to watch the episodes once they get posted online. Boo! I hate waiting!
Jess: Congrats on your 18s being loose. That's so awesome! And for a country boy from any state, being hotter than doughnut grease is one heck of a compliment, so be proud!
I love the talk about travel plans to meet up with each other! I love road-tripping and will be taking a trip to Overland Park, KS in two weeks for my cousin's graduation party. Fun, fun! I'm sure I could road trip to MO later this summer or early fall. My boyfriend would want to come with me to tour the Anheuser Busch brewery, though!0 -
It looks like Cris, LittleSpy, and I are in a race to Onederland. Let's get it girls! Cris, glad to see you are feeling better (nothing like a big loss to push any germs out of your system).
The trip to St. Louis sounds great....nothing like going home. I grew up in St. Louis and my family still lives there. I'll be back in May for a few days and will be working out. Perhaps bluenote and I can meet up for a nice long run/walk!
Checking in for yesterday...
Calories: 1,429 with 350 exercise left
Water: 96 oz
Exercise: 30 Day Shred Level 2 and a 2.5 mile (1 hour) walk
Proud: Two things to be proud of: 1) we went out to dinner last night with a group and french fries were ordered. I haven't had french fries in at least 9 weeks. I let myself eat a few (3) and then stopped. I also chose not to drink the sangria so I could save those calories for a dessert later. 2) I recently ordered a new coat. It came in today and when I tried it on, it was TOO BIG! :bigsmile: So I'll send that back and order a smaller size. That's a good problem to have.
Hope everyone has a lovely day!0 -
Good Morning Ladies!!!
Check In:
Calories - Over by 5
Sodium - Under by 352 (first time ever to be under!!)
Water - 72 oz
Exercise 10 mins of walking
Proud of stopping myself from eating a lot of the fried chicken my husband brought home last night. I am still proud that I only went over by 5 pounds with eating some fried chicken but I know it wasn't a very healthy choice. Oh well!
Chris - So glad you are feeling so much better!! Great job on the weight loss! It seems to be melting right off of you!
LittleSpy- That is great! You are sooo close to Onederland you can taste it I am sure. Hopefully one day I will be there!
Jess - Thanks for the C25K info. I am so not a runner and I absolutely hate running but maybe this will change things. I would so join you in Dallas in June if I knew that I would be in shape for it. I am in Austin so I am not that far away and we are always driving up to Dallas to visit family on the weekends. Maybe we can do one in the fall in either Austin or Dallas. Congrats on fitting into those now loose pants!! I can't wait to be able to do that with the 20's that I have.
Hope everyone has a great day! I will check in later!!0 -
I forgot to tell you gals about my evening last night.
My boyfriend and I went to Applebee's (where I was terrible, especially since I'd already had dinner and it was 9pm). When I walked in the door, I heard someone sing-song my name from across the place. It was a co-worker of mine who we occasionally run into around town. Anyway, she told us they were doing trivia at the bar in a half hour. I told her that Nate (bf) would probably win. She said that would be okay, so we joined them after we ate.
Yep, the boyfriend won three of four rounds. We walked out with a coupon for a free drink, a free appetizer and $60 worth of gift certificates. The funniest part was that the final question was about the Beatles and neither one of us even likes the Beatles! I knew he'd be good at music trivia; that and automotive/NASCAR trivia are the only kinds of trivia he can beat me at.
So, the people we were playing against were telling us about other trivia and bargo nights they go to and the one girl said, "Don't tell them! I usually win and they'd be competition."
Nate and I decided this is why we don't have many people who want to go out with us...we're too smart and awesome! Haha.0 -
Wooohooo count me in for the brewery tour! :bigsmile: I love road trips too. Hence my road trip to Wisconsin next week! I'll be back in central Wisconsin in July Heather! haha! I guess I will take the compliment and run! I assumed it was hott since it's grease but I've never made donuts. I probably had the oddest look on my face.
Cris-After you made the comment last week about not recognizing pics of me on my facebook I went back and looked. I went back and looked at pics of me when I went to Vegas in July of 08 I think...this is shortly after I started my weight loss journey but wasn't too "serious" about it...OMG! I was FAT!! I didn't recognize myself! I don't know what pics you were look at but WOW!! I wanted to cry when I saw them! HAHA! I love my new self and I'm not even done! :bigsmile:0 -
Cris: Congrats on the big loss this week! and ... I threw away the potato chips this morning (after having a serving last night:ohwell: )
Jess: I agree, Donut Grease is definitely HOT!
checking in for yesterday:
calories: under by 6 ... but ate all my exercise calories (and I had a lot)
exercise: great - an hour of step and 15 minute walk
proud: that I threw away the chips this morning
water: good 100oz ... I have officially kicked the daily diet pepsi habit and repaced it with green tea - hopefully a better choice, I'm definitely not as tempted to snack while drinking it (I am going to splurge on 1 diet pepsi on the weekends)
I feel cruddy today, don't know why. Will really have to watch myself to not give in to 'comfort food' urges. I packed a good breakfast, lunch and snacks today but need a plan for supper.
We have a lot going on that is kind of stressing me out. We are trying to come up with money to buy my Aunt's property (she passed away last fall), so we have put some vacant waterfront land that we own up for sale. Nothing is selling in that area, but we did have some people call and go out to see it recently so that is a good sign. We are also selling our RV since we are selling the land (which is kind of sad, it is a nice RV ... and I kind of hate to be doing anything that our nasty neighbors at the land will like - they complained about our RV last summer because they 'didn't want to live next to a campground' ... yucky self-important people! will be nice to not have to deal with them once our land is sold). We have a couple very interested in the RV meeting us this Sunday to hopefully buy it. Would be nice to have one thing done with, and to get the money - especially since we just had to pay $2800 to repair my husband's car.0 -

That would be awesome! How sad is it I have lived in Texas almost my entire life and have never really been to Austin? San Antonio yes but never Austin! we may have to do that! You are most definitely welcome to join for the 5k. I think we have about 5 people so far doing it with us. My friends that is. My company pays for my enrollment but I don't go with them. HAHA!0 -
Istpaull -HOOORAY!!! Good job throwing out the chips! I am so so proud of you! :drinker: :drinker: Seriously I have a huge smile on my face right now:bigsmile:
Heather- :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I only like to hang out with smart and awesome people, I knew we'd be good friends lol!!!
Jess- I think it was the Vegas photos that I was looking at...I am not lying I really had no idea which one you were in most pictures. You look SOOOOO GOOOD and have come a long way!0 -
Sad to say ... I had to throw egg shells and other breakfast scraps on top of the chips bag in the garbage before I really felt like I might not pull them back out. :noway:Istpaull -HOOORAY!!! Good job throwing out the chips! I am so so proud of you! :drinker: :drinker: Seriously I have a huge smile on my face right now:bigsmile:0 -
lstapaul-WOOHOO for throwing out the chips!!! That's huge!! Don't look back and buy more! So proud of you!
Cris-Thank you for the compliments! I think I look so different because I was "fat" all over. Especially my face! WHOA! I'm still stunned just looking at them! Craziness! Can't wait to see my family next week. Most of them haven't seen me in 2 or more years!! A few saw me last summer but I've lost a lot more weight since then! AHH!0 -
Wow gald to see you all chatting it up this morning with one another.Very proud that all of you are doing so well.I am now exercising everyday with my 15 year old daughter Samantha,my 5 year old daughter Paige and my 3 year old daughter Amelia.I am teaching them good lifestyles by exercising with them.Paige told me the other day that I should give her some money so she could buy me some new clothes because mine were falling off.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So I suppose what I am doing is working.I am trying now to get out of the 220's.I was 223 this morning so I have to keep trucking along but I really do think I have figured it out.My oldest and I have been competing on my EA active game on the Wii and it is so much fun.We are trying to find a 5k to run together because after watching the Biggest loser last night my daughter decided she wanted to join me.I have been wanting to run one for awhile so I will be searching for ones in my area to do.0
-
Jess, I stalked your facebook pictures, too and you do look TOTALLY different in a fantastic kind of way!
You won't notice much of a difference in my facebook pictures. Because I never had any up from my heaviest. Almost all the ones that are up there are from 5 years ago when I lost 40 pounds. :laugh: I weigh nearly 10 pounds less now than I did then, WOOT!
I'm now the same weight I was as a Junior in high school. That makes me really happy and very sad at the same time. :laugh:0 -
For the BL watchers, can you believe Daris did the 5k in 21 mins?? That is like 7 min miles, insane!0
-
Okay since I'm bored at work as always! For those who aren't on my facebook or don't have facebook...here is a picture of me in Vegas that I saw this morning and had my OMG moment. I believe it's from July of 2008. Not quite my heaviest weight but about 10 pounds away I think.
