Jenn -- 21 minutes is a really great time! He may end up being a really competetive 5k racer if he keeps it up!
***Also, please no BL spoilers on the thread today! I only made it through half of it last night so I still have to watch the last half. :laugh: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:
WHATEVER WORKS HONEY! WHATEVER WORKS!

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.
I love the name Samantha!!! If our next child is a girl we plan on naming her Samantha Ryan T#####0 -
Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement. I think my dad is on track with me to a more healthy lifestyle, so hopefully we can keep his heart from stressing too much. I'll just stay positive and see how it goes, but for now I'll check in for yesterday
calories: Under, probably
Water: under
Exercise: some walking
Proud: I didnt give in to snacking and I ended up weighing less than I did yesterday morning last night and this morning I weighed even less...2 pounds from being in the 220's! 231.8! I also went shopping and found some totaly cute shorts at Avenue, I took a 22 into the dressing room and it was falling off my butt! the 20's are snug but they're adorable too! I'm changing out my dumpy boring wardrobe for some color and sass! Its exciting to know I can wear whatever I like when I'm smaller!0 -
Mari-So glad to hear you Dad is doing better!! That is awesome! I will continue to keep him and your family in my thoughts. Hopefully this change is for good. You will be in those 20's before you know it. Trust me! And almost out of the 230's! Way to stay on track even during tuff times. That says a lot right there. You should feel very proud!
I am in full blown stalker mode this morning. The bank has been open for almost 2 hours and I think I have had 2 customers...maybe!!
I haven't seen Biggest Loser yet either. It's on DVR. But one of my friends already posted their comments on who got voted off so now that's ruined. No worries I wont say anything! HAHA! But a 21 minute 5k. That's amazing!!0 -
Wow totally amazing transformation hun!!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.

Phase 1 of stalking is complete.
I am about to make my 3rd pee trip in 4 hours. I haven't drank any more water than usual, but that's a lot more running to the bathroom than usual. I'm getting excited to see what the scale has to say to me Friday. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.0 -
Jess: Holy moly, I can't believe how much progress you've made. You're absolutely awesome!
lstpaul: Good job getting rid of the chips. Where is your land located that you're trying to sell?
Cris: I, too, knew we'd be good friends since we're both such awesome smart people!
Awestfall: I like the new pic. Your face is getting thinner and thinner all the time!
Littlespy: Like you, I never posted pics from when I was at my heaviest, but I'm seriously considering getting my OMG pic on here to share. It's crazy how sad and happy one can get in the same moment when seeing one of these pics. First it's "I'm gonna cry, I can't believe I was that huge", immediately followed by "Wow, I look so good now!"
Last night, I managed to do an exercise on the pull-up bar that consisted of having my arms in the "ab slings" that come with the bar and lifting my knees, then twisting them to each side. Let me tell you, it killed the abs, but I think it means I'm getting stronger. It sounds stupid to be so proud of doing one rep of a particular exercise but it was huge for me. I think my boyfriend is going to whip my arms into shape whether I like it or not!0 -

Just think...extra calories just for the extra trips, too!0 -
I think I cried when I saw a picture of me at my son's 1st birthday....I was prob around 255 but I dont know for sure. Its the one I plan on posting when I reach 199. Ugh, if I can bear the shame
jlb- you are usually pretty cautious about showing your excitement over a loss so Im thinking you did it girl...I honest to goodness see ONEDERLAND in your future like THIS WEEK!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Heather- my upper body strenght is sooo bad! Good for you working out your arms, keep posting your progress maybe it will motivate me to start!!!0 -
Hey Girls, I am here!! I have not left. I am just trying to get back on track at the same time I am also trying to be with my son more. He is struggling in that kinderfacts class. The K teacher took me aside to tell me she did not think he could handle kinder. He is my 4th kinder, I know that he is going to struggle with this. It breaks my heart to go to the class every week and hear all the wonderful things these kids should and are doing, but mine can't. He is so sweet and funny. He is actually very smart. Anyways, I appreciate everyone hunting me down. I am good I have not done great with eating but it is sooooooooo much better than my past habits. I will not be losing weight this week though. To top it all off we are going through more rain. It is not typical to have the amount of rain we have had around here. The rain really ends around this time of year and does not return until Sept./Oct. so that kinda has me feeling blah as well. Thanks again and you guys are great.
Mari, your dad will be in my prayers!!! My father was an alcoholic. He went through several marriages and was ruining his life. He was about to ruin the marriage with my mother when I was 4 yo. Through lots of prayer he quit. I never saw him drunk again. I vaguely remember it. My older bros remember it but Myself and the 2 younger sibs Don't. So there is hope. My dad was 46 at the time and had been a heavy drinker since his teens.0 -

Hajohnson24: Our land that we are selling is in Menomonie,WI on the Red Cedar river - it's really quite pretty (I just changed my main profile pic to a picture from the dock at our land), we pontoon down to Lake Menomin- fish, waterski, etc.. But I would rather keep the family farm house (in Blair, WI) if we can work it out, plus we decided it would be too expensive for us to build on the land any time soon - so we aren't using it as much as we had hoped.
Great job on the ab work with the pull up bar ... I don't think it is silly at all to be proud of doing such a hard exercise ... that's great! :drinker:0 -
You are so chatty in the daytime, I wish I had the sort of job that allowed for major stalking :bigsmile:
Cris, Elmox, Pos me - nearly there, so close. Can you beleive you are going to be 19? in the next few weeks???:drinker:
:drinker:
Jess - OMFG your transformation is incredible, such a huge difference WTG !!:drinker: :drinker:
back this evening for a catch up0 -
Question to all the stalkers today...lol
Is anyone a coffee drinker?
I have been drinking coffee since age 14. I use to drink it with so much non dairy coffee creamer and lots of sugar, but i cut back to 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of non-dairy creamer..
I have noticed that my calories add up quickly do to the amount of coffee i drink in a day. for the past 3 weeks i have only added 1 pkg of splenda or 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of coffeemate's flavored creamer + 1 oz of 1% milk...
However, i drink like 4 to 8 cups of strong coffee...sometimes i drink Cafe bustelo, expresso for that extra energy...or turkish coffee...but both are loaded wiht too much caffine..which doesn't bother me...what bothers me is that i am trying to cut the sugar and fat "the extras" i add to my coffee.
so my typical 2 cup of coffee i have before my breakfast consist of 75 calories, and 2 grams of fat. NOt much but if you are like me drinking 4 to 8 cups a day i wasted 300- 600 calories and 8 - 16 grams of fat..
recently i only drink 2 to 4 cups a day...just to get me through the day but i wan't to cut it down or aleast cut my calories/fats that i add...
so my question is What do you put on your coffee?0 -
Hello ladies! I hope everyone is having a good day.
Cris - Wow! 8 lbs! That is awesome. You are so close to the hundreds!
LittleSpy - Woot, congrats on breaking your plateau!
elmox - OOhh french fries are one of my weaknesses (and their friends pizza and baked goods). Good for you for only having a few. I haven't trusted myself to go anywhere that there is fries or pizza yet.
Positively_Me - I am a coffee drinker, although I don't really have any suggestions for you on how to cut back on the calories. Most of the time I just have 1 mug in the morning with breakfast. Once in a while I get a Dunkin Donuts small at night but not since starting my BL program and on MFP. I'm really not a fan of any kinds of fake foods or diet foods, so I just try to moderate the stuff I am eating. I use 2 tbsp of regular half and half and 1.5 tsp of sugar in my 14 oz mug. It is a constant 63 calorie part of my breakfast every day but no way am I giving that up.
Checkin for 4/27:
Calories - 163 under (plus 864 exercise calories unused)
Water - 85 oz (yay I counted!)
Exercise - 50 min circuit training with my BL trainer
Proud - that I didn't get discouraged after my gain yesterday and use it as an excuse to eat something delicious but bad for me0 -
stalker- yes!:laugh:
coffee drinker- no:ohwell:
The only thing I can relate your coffee thing to is my need for soda. I never acquired a taste for coffee so to get my caffeine I drank soda, lots and lots and lots of soda. I had to cut it out completely. Maybe you can choose like two times a day that you really really need it and just limit yourself to those two times? I know thats prob not what you want to hear, lol....I dunno maybe someone will have a better idea!!0 -
Thanks for the sweet comments!!! Might I add that you look AMAZING in that dress on your profile pic!!Jess: Holy moly, I can't believe how much progress you've made. You're absolutely awesome!
lstpaul: Good job getting rid of the chips. Where is your land located that you're trying to sell?

Is anyone a coffee drinker?
I LOVE coffee but I've never really been a habitual coffee drinker. I have it maybe twice a week. Sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night. I used to use all kinds of sugar and flavored creamers or cream (sometimes half & half). I'm afraid to think about how many calories was in a mug of coffee the way I used to make it. I love really strong coffee, too. The problem with coffee for me is that it always makes me crave a cigarette. :ohwell:
These days I'll have a packet of splenda (I know, I know. Oh well. :laugh:) and about an ounce or 2 of 2% or 1% milk. Or sometimes, just the milk. Total cals = 15-30
And I've always been a huge soda drinker, too Cris. I switched to diet soda (got used to the flavor) and now I'm switching from diet soda to carbonated water. I love the carbonated water. Plain carbondated** water. I used to think that was SO GROSS (like if I went to get some Sprite & all the syrup was out or something :sick:)! Now I seriously *crave* the water and I guarantee I'd think the Sprite was really gross. :laugh: Just thinking about how sweet it is.. blech.
Edit: ^^ **lol, how do you "carbondate" water? Too bad my brain doesn't work nearly as fast as my fingers.0 -
Coffee drinker here but I don't have as many as you do throughout the day.Caffeine triggers anxiety attacks for me so I limit myself to one cup a day and I add CoffeeMate French vanilla creamer 25 calories for 1Tablespoon.Question to all the stalkers today...lol

Thanks Cris for the advice. I tryed cutting out coffee for a whole week but it didn't last more than 2 days.. i have a really bad headach...so i went back...but I only drank one big mug..equivalent to 2 cups...and that total was 70 calories...but i am cutting out my evening cup(s) of coffee.. I am now drinking organic green tea..w/ one teaspoon of sugar..so i am trying lower my intake of coffee. it a habit i would love to break.
as for the soda, i don't need another addiction...not a fan of soda..thank God 0 -

I'm sorry you got frustrated yesterday, I know exactly how you feel ... I haven't seen any progress on the scale for months and sometimes I just want to quit trying. BUT, I know that I feel healthier, have more energy and I DON"T want to gain any more weight. So it is worth it to keep trying! Hang in there! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0
