Good morning ladies.
ahh..I am up like 1.5 lbs from friday, didn't really eat bad, stayed within cals and exercised all weekedn burned over 1000 cals since friday..but TOM is coming so i am contributing it to that..really hoping that I loose some this week but with TOM coming who knows.0 -
Well I'm up 3 pounds as well this morning! Gotta love the sodiumarific weekends!! I blame Malibu! Check in later!0

Good Morning girls, saving this tread so i can find it later. I have to go back and read what went on over the weekned.0

well I did it I moved myself up to eating 1500 to 1600 calories a day!! I am going to see if this helps push some more weight off because I am exercising hardcore and I am always hungry after workouts and the 1200 calorie thing isn't cutting it.As long as I am eating healthy foods it doesn't bother me to eat closer to 1500 to 1600 calories.I have been doing this for about a week now and I feel so much better but do you gals think this may be why my weight has slowly creeped up a bit.I know I have lost weight and this weekends sodium binge definitely did not help but my weight has been fluctuating back and for into the teens and 20's for about a week now since I started adding more calories.I know I need more calories and I am positive the weight will start to drop again but I am just frustrated this morning.Seeing the scale read 218 Friday and then back up to 218.Its my fault and I am not letting the scale consume me REALLY I'M NOT!! Just curious to see your gals input.I know there are alot of you who still do just 1200 calories but my body can't do that anymore I need more food to lose more weight now.I knew it was coming just didn't know when.Someone please convince me it is ok to eat MORE and that the gain will soon go away LOL!!!!0

I'm having the same problem! I increased my calories about a week or two ago and the scale is all over the place. In the last week I have been everywhere from 213.9-218...I have been sick an only worked out twice last week so that may be a factor. If I remember correctly Julie did this awhile ago too and it took her body a couple weeks to adjust to the change. I would give it a few weeks and see what happens. Your body needs the fuel. Eating the 1200 calories and workout out so much might of damaged your metabolisim so it needs to be kicked in the butt. Takes time. Hang in there. We will get through it together!
Edit:
I have to put in my morning vent...first thing this morning I come downstairs to let my dog out, I'm still half asleep. I'm not even to the bottom of the stairs when this stupid little white boxer looking dog is at my dog growing and snapping at her. This dogs owner always just lets him run around without a leash. They also have another small dog but that one never bothers anyone. So I'm trying to get away from this dog and he just wont leave me and my dog alone. No owner to be seen! What frustrates me is this guy who owns these two dogs ALWAYS does this. Opens his door and lets the dogs out. He finally starts calling his dog from his door and I just yell "Excuse me could you please put your dog on a leash!? It wont quit attacking my dog!" his response "go to he!! *kitten*!" are you kidding me!? Yep. That's how my Monday morning started. I plan to be having a word with the office this morning. :explode:0 -
Oy....that weekend was rough. Between the stressors in my life and TOM being here I am happy that I am only showing a gain of 2.4lbs. I ate (and drank) waaaay too much Friday, was slightly better on Saturday but still over ate. Was good on Sunday because I felt bad. So I weighed in this morning at 200lbs...hoping some is just sodium and some is due to TOM...I dont like seeing the 200s again :brokenheart:
Awestfall- I havent increased my calories that much (I am at 1300 now) but from what everyone else says you will show a gain for a little bit, I think you are supposed to give it a month? Bluenote and Jlb will be your best bet on answering this one
Jess- love that dress! I like the color and I love the belt! It shows off how skinny you are!:drinker:
Jess +Julie- thank goodness I wasnt the only one enjoying some booze :laugh: :laugh: I ended up drining 11 beers :sad: it wasnt pretty. My son "punished" me by waking up at 5am...he's been getting up at 8am recently so it was quite the painful morning after. I wont be doing THAT again anytime soon.:noway:0 -

I think it could be the reason. But there could be a lot of other reasons too (like regular normal fluctuations ).
For what it's worth, my weight seems to start dropping again about 3 weeks after I've increased my calories. I guess it just takes that long for my body to adjust.
I also had a sodiumtastic weekend. Engagement ring is fitting really really well this morning. :laugh: That's one of the reasons it makes me nervous to size down. I'd have to go a whole size down (because it doesn't come in half sizes) and on mornings like this it could be a tight squeeze (though I'm pretty sure I could still get it on).
I love having a ring to wear on the same finger every day -- it's really opened my eyes to just how much water I'm retaining when I get out of control with my sodium intake.
I love that even my retaining-a-ton-of-water weight is still under 200 pounds! (even if it was 199.8 :laugh:) It makes me happy because the pattern is for me to be carrying about 3 pounds of water on Monday mornings. I can't wait to see a 196!
In other news, I tried on one of my old swimsuits last night. It's alctually one of my mom's old swimsuits that she wore before she had me (they just don't make things like the used to, huh?). I love it. It's never really fit me before but it fits me so well now! It's a halter style suit and my back fat isn't even hanging over the back! :laugh: I need to find my board shorts to wear with it. I'm going to my mom's on Saturday for my birthday (which is Sunday). She and my stepdad live on a lake and I can hardly wait to go swimming! I love swimming but I haven't been since I've been in so much better shape. I'll need to swim for a few hours to make up for all the beers I'll be having the next day.
I could NOT get my butt up to get to the gym this morning. I had set my alarm for 6am but I woke up at 5.50, looked at the clock, thought "Oh HELL no!" and moved my alarm to 7am. :ohwell: But I did force my butt to get up and run at 7. So, I did C25K W2D2 with a 6.5mph run speed. I just can't go as fast in the morning but I forced myself. I think I'm going to start running most mornings because I think the reality is that it's very unlikely I'm going to get up early enough to get an hour in at the gym in the morning.
I'm going to sell my exercise bike. It has served me very well, but now it's to the point if I'm riding fast enough to really get my heart rate up, the thing starts falling apart on me. :laugh: Plus it takes up way too much space in my house. Kind of sad to see it go because it is a good low impact exercise, but now that I have a gym membership, I can go use the bike & elliptical there if I need to. Plus, selling the bike will pay for my gym membership for 4-5 months. :laugh:0 -

Oh girl you aren't alone by any means!! 2 bottles of rum for me and my friend Rickey! He makes his drinks way stronger though!! I was punished by my niece waking me up at 5 am to vomit. Not fun! Good things she's so cute! I believe this is why God made kids so cute!! :laugh:0 -
Good Morning Ladies!!
Sounds like we all had some issues with food this weekend. (Some with alcohol!:drinker: :bigsmile: ) I went over every day and ate all of my exercise calories (well, when I did exercise).:grumble: But today is a new day. I was so glad that when I got on the scale that I had not gained any weight this weekend but the bummer is that I didn't lose any. If I am going to meet my 5/31 mini goal I need to get these 2 lbs off fast!! I am going to try my best and be really good this week and exercise when I get home. It might not be every night that I exercise but I am going to push myself to 4 times this week. So here goes to pushing! :happy:
Jess - You look GREAT in your dress!! It definitely shows off your curves (in a good way of course)!!
I think with all of us lighting a fire under are booties that we will be back on track this week. I know we can all do it!!:bigsmile:
Hope everyone has a great Monday!! Stalk a little later!0 -
Awestfall- I am finding it really hard with the weather change too...Summers to me are cook outs and "easy living". I would come home from work and sit on the deck with a couple of beers, grill and just relax. I can do that still I guess, minus the beers and grilling healthy stuff instead...gotta make it work0

Julie - WTG on wearing your mom's bathing suit. I am sure you look great !!!!
So i was very perplexed about my wedding ring ...i was wearing it everday until i got to like 290...i was in the 270's for YEARS and was wearing it (minus when i was preggers)...Then dh said something and i think he is right (don't tell him i said that thought :Smile:) I had it on so my finger was used it and probably even indenting so it wasn't cutting off anything like if i try to put it on now, but since i haven't worn it in at least 2 years that my fingers aren't used...i mean come on i first put it on in 2000 at somewhere around 230-240,...every lb i loose i try it on ..i know it will fit one day .
So talking about cals...when you are bumping your cals are those net cals or just eating cals?? Just curious. I bumped my net calories last week to about 1200 (still not eating 300-400 from what mfp says), i end up eating just about or just above what MFP says but since i work out every day, i at least have 300 cals from exercise). ..Doing this i lost 3 lbs last week...i am hoping it is a repeat this week, cause that would put me at my memorial day goal of 275...not sure i am going to make but i am sure going to go down trying0 -
Hey girls,
I have had a rough morning. I was wokened up ( middle of the night) by a "charlie horse" nighttime calf leg cramping...
I have no idea what cause this, but i am still in pain. Throughout the night I felt it coming again..and i tried to prevent it by not moving my right leg. I have not done my normal exercise all weekend, but I have been work in my back yard. I planted my veggie garden on Saturday. Also, on saturday i did lots of squats, kneeling down and bent over planting. Sunday, I clean my yard from the mess i made, but not an extraordinary workout to cause this leg cramp. should i take pain meds or something to alleviate all this pain right calf, or should i just wing it.
In addition, I have to do week 4 day 1 C25k, not sure if i should do it or not.
Help please girls0 -
POS Me- I use to get them alll the time! I don't know what causes them but my Mom told me to eat banana's to help with it. I haven't had one in probably a year or so. But when I did get them my leg would hurt for a few days.
Cris-Summers are hard!! That's how I invision my summer evenings as well. I love to grill. My friends and I go to a lot of concerts and we tailgate a lot too. Have you ever tried Bud Select 55? It's half the calories. It's really light and doesn't make me feel as "heavy" after a night of drinking. But there are nights where I still have to have my trusted Bud Light. It's all trial and error. Last summer I had the mentality, as long as I maintain I'm happy". I still want to lose this summer but I'm not going to get upset if it's not big numbers weekly.
lildebbie-You will get that ring back on...it's funny how we lose and gain in different ways. As far as calories I'm set at 1200 calories and then I try to eat about half of my exercise calories. So I'm usually at 1500 calories so not 1200 net. On days I don't exercise I eat 1200.
LittleSpy-Congrats on rocking the swimsuit!!0 -
Okay here's the dress I'm going to wear to the Sex and The City Party on Thursday..I don't have my "big girl panties" on so my pooch below the belt is there...but ya get the idea!
I love it!!! You look FANTASTIC!0 -
So talking about cals...when you are bumping your cals are those net cals or just eating cals??
I just bumped my eating calories up (which, of course, bumped my net cals most days) the first time, but since then I've been bumping my net cals.
I'm eating 1290 NET calories these days (which usually sticks me eating 1500-1800 calories a day based on exercise... occasionally more). YUM!

Help please girls
Make sure you're very well hydrated and getting enough potassium (bananas, potatoes) and vitamin e (sweet potatoes, spinach). I have suffered from leg cramps my entire life -- I hate the ones that come at night! Usually mine are in my calves but occasionally lately I get NIGHTMARE shin cramps! I can't find a way to get the muscle to stop contracting and it's just the worst thing ever. :ohwell: I think an anti-inflammatory medicine (ibuprofen, acetaminophen) will help. Also, try massaging it and make sure you stretch well after exercising. Sometimes a heating pad seems to help mine when I have a really bad one though I don't get cramps nearly as much as I used to (yay healthy diet!).
Hope you feel better soon!0 -

OMG! Yeah, had that happened to me, animal services would be at his door TODAY. I don't play when it comes to dogs. I love love love dogs, so I automatically absolutely hate hate hate irresponsible dog owners. Letting his dog run loose like that is not only dangerous for you and your dog, but also very dangerous for his dog! What a douche! I hate to even say this, but you need to be sure you and your dog are protected, so take some pepper spray with you. That way, in case the dog attacks, you can spray him with the pepper spray & get away. It won't do any damage to the dog, just stop him for a minute.
I live in a neighborhood where idiots have fighting dogs so I always take tear gas with me when I'm walking my dogs (even though my greys weigh 95 pounds!). A lot of dogs run loose and although none of them have had the balls to approach any further after my Mo man snarls () at them, I don't want to risk my dogs (or me) being injured in a dog fight.0 -

Julie/jess - THanks !!! I just wanted to make sure i am doing right...but still thinking maybe i need to eat more...i may try to bump up to 1300 this week and see what i get
I am excited to try out my new "as seen on tv" purchase I usally have salads for lunch, i cut everything up on sunday night by wednesday my lettuce is all wilty, and usally takes me like 5-10 to measure everything out (after i get back from working out), so i bought some of these "green bags" supposed to keep your produce fresher longer. So i made up 5 bags last night all measured out with everhything in there (except dressing, cheese, and my new almond slivers i bought), and put them in the fride so curious if they really work and i get fresh salad everday they were only like 5.00 so if they don't i guess no big loss.0 -

That is just awful! I get so upset by irresponsible and inconsiderate pet owners. Where I live it is a law to have dogs on a leash except for in enclosed areas.....but in my neighborhood the offleash dogs just roaming around are frequent enough to where I cannot even comfortably walk my dog - he isn't aggressive at all, but what would I do if an aggressive dog approached us and no one else was around? So frustrating. People can be so rude - I'm sorry that was your Monday morning!0 -

I had to call animal control a while back, because the dog that lived behind me kept digging under the fence into my yard - she was a gorgeous friendly SMART dog......and she kept letting my dog out of his pen to play with her! I kept blocking up the holes, but this went on for ages.....three days after I called animal control, her owners asked if I'd seen her because they know she sometimes comes to play in my yard!!! What the heck? If you know this, why let it happen, why not keep your dog in your yard??/ It was a constant problem, and every time I tried to go talk to them, they wouldn't answer their door! I was sorry to have to call animal control, but they didn't leave an option. People that cannot be responsible for their pets shouldn't keep them0 -
:explode:well I did it I moved myself up to eating 1500 to 1600 calories a day!! I am going to see if this helps push some more weight off because I am exercising hardcore and I am always hungry after workouts and the 1200 calorie thing isn't cutting it.As long as I am eating healthy foods it doesn't bother me to eat closer to 1500 to 1600 calories.I have been doing this for about a week now and I feel so much better but do you gals think this may be why my weight has slowly creeped up a bit.I know I have lost weight and this weekends sodium binge definitely did not help but my weight has been fluctuating back and for into the teens and 20's for about a week now since I started adding more calories.I know I need more calories and I am positive the weight will start to drop again but I am just frustrated this morning.Seeing the scale read 218 Friday and then back up to 218.Its my fault and I am not letting the scale consume me REALLY I'M NOT!! Just curious to see your gals input.I know there are alot of you who still do just 1200 calories but my body can't do that anymore I need more food to lose more weight now.I knew it was coming just didn't know when.Someone please convince me it is ok to eat MORE and that the gain will soon go away LOL!!!!
I'm having the same problem! I increased my calories about a week or two ago and the scale is all over the place.

Thanks Jess!! I am definitely going to stick it for the long haul because I know my body needs more than its getting now.Hang in there I will help you through it too and we BOTH will come out losing tons of WEIGHT!!!Stick to it0 -
bluenote: Thanks for positing your pics! It's so nice to put a face with the name!! You're adorable and I can see a HUGE difference in your profile pic vs. your ticker pic.
Cris: I definitely understand losing the motivation, but you've been kicking butt everywhere (your guy, HH&F thread, etc). You have a title to defend, lady!
Jess: I love the dress, but especially love the belt! You look wonderful and I know you'll have a blast at the event! I can't go to the event at the Mall of America because it's on Friday and my boyfriend and I have decided to go out of town to visit three more state parks. We're packing food we can grill at the parks for lunches and will be getting lots of hiking in. Hopefully this will be a holiday weekend that sees a weight loss!
I actually did pretty well on the eating this weekend, other than sodium (sound familiar?). My fingers aren't too bloated, though, so I can get rid of it pretty quickly. Some of it has to do with the heat (90 degrees and humid). I'm really looking forward to the weekend and know this week will drag on forever!0 -
Velvet and LIttleSpy-I called the apartment complex first thing this morning. After my rant on facebook I quickly learned it's against the law in Texas to not have your dogs on a leash as well. The apartments said they will issue him a lease violation and to let them know if I seem him without a leash again. I plan on getting some pepper spray as well. That's what my Mom told me to do. I'm a dog lover and would hate to have to do that but my dog is like my child and I'm going to protect my baby. Poor girl just stood there staring at me with her tail between her legs this morning like "Mommy help me!". I hate mean dogs! My dogs so passive! And I looked up the number from animal control. If it happens again they will be getting a phone call as well.
LilDebbie-I have those little green bags too. Make sure you seal them up good. If you do they work great!! I use them for lettuce all the time!
Heather-Great job on sticking with it on the weekends! That's tuff! Have fun at exploring 3 more parks you guys found. I love hearing about everything you find!
awestfall-You are correct we will get through it together! :drinker:
Thank you all for the dress compliments! :blushing: I'm very excited to wear it. I really hope to lose this water weight and be at 50 pounds lost by Thursday. I got tons of exercise going up and down that slide on Saturday! It's probably the rum! Guess we will see what the scale says this week.0 -

Quick question I hear all of you talking about net calories.Now this may be a dumb question but I am going to ask anyways.Is net calories what you end up eating minus your exercise? Because I have been eating 1200calories and eating half my exercise cals which puts me at about 1500 to 1600 cals for the day depending on how much exercise I do?Before I wasn't eating my exercise calories so thats what I meant by starting to eat more because my body definitly needs it so I decided to start eating at least half of my exercise cals.This should rev my metabolism back up correct?I am trying to start shedding more pounds but I struggled with the idea of eating more and I think after a week or trying it and seeing the gain (yes the gain frustrated me) I realized I have to give it a chance to work.I am doing the 6 week Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD with Bob and it makes the sweat roll off of you.I love it though cause it tones my abs,butt,arms and legs.Full workout in 40minutes or less cause they have different things you can do.I am doing the maximum results program and I love it.The here soon I will start running again outside as soon as the rain ends lol.I feel so much stronger doing exercise with Bob because I can complete all the exercises now and when I was 30 pounds heavier I couldn't even complete the video or do any of the moves lol0
