It's that time again ladies! Time for our weekly weigh in.
Just checking in for today:
2407 calories to maintain
1603 eaten /710 burned/-1514 day/-8360 week
So per theory, I should be down 2 pounds this week, but I think because of my carb extravaganza earlier in the week, it ain't gonna happen.
Good luck everyone! I'll check in in the morning with my weight before heading on my roadtrip.

I will be happy if I maintained this week again! Tuesday I start back at the gym. It's been like 3 weeks I think.
We just warted Howard the Duck! Wow its Been a long time.
SYTYCD starts tonight which is a nice surprise. Yeay!
So Kristina even if you don't lose this week, I bet you will lose next week for sure! Especially if yiu slim down on the white carbs Good job!0 -
Hi there everyone....
I am supposed to have 1203 cals a day, I'm up to 867. I usually don't have so many carbs, so I'm running slow today. UGH! By the way, my cals are that low because I have the gastric bypass and I can't get in much more than that. I'm not starving myself...as if I could...LOL. It's pretty late so I'm going to weigh in the morning. I need all the help I can get.
I ran day before yesterday, and I'm in so much pain. I have shin splints and it hurts really bad. Walking was absolute torture today. This is mighty inconvenient because my date has been bumped up to tomorrow night. I feel like Charlie Brown.
Kristina- Thanks for the encouragement. I had way too many carbs today. I'll just have an omelet next time.
Victoria- Wow, you are outside a lot. We have a garden this year but the tomatoes are not doing well.
Kim- I think you will be pleasantly surprised in CA. That's my home state, and I can tell you that there's plenty of delicious and healthy food choices at most places there. I don't know where your going, but in most of the major cities there are several really good places to go to. Believe me, you won't have to suffer at all. Good luck!
Lacey- Wow, Howard the Duck? That is old school. My brother and I just watched Footloose. Man...Kevin Bacon...it doesn't get much better than that. I miss the 80's movies because of their soundtracks (and the guys).
Have a great day everyone....I'll not be around tomorrow night. I'll let you know how it goes on Saturday morning. I am soooooo nervous. It's been like over 15 years since I've been on a "date". This should be interesting.

Beth,
Hehe yeah I do know there is a plethora of good places even organic places to eat. I moved from the Sacramento area 2 years ago (lived there for 8 years). The problem is because we used to live there (we will be going to the Bay Area as well as the coast) we know a lot of very bad but very yummy places to eat so my family wants to hit up all those places. I wasn't on a lifestyle change when I lived there so I also miss them and would like to taste them again due to the fact that there are NO good places in Idaho to eat really, in comparison, lol. We will however be hitting places like Pluto's and a few others but also some great chicago pizza (Chicago Fire) and some good burgers, maybe I'll get lucky and there will be veggie burgers on the menu *giggles*. Hey a girl can hope! Where do you live maybe you have some suggestions for me of healthier places to eat that I may not be aware of? Thanks
:
Pinbotchick,
Thanks for the suggestion of sharing meals. It's a great idea that I never thought of but it would allow me to still enjoy without "overenjoying".
I will try and check in with my weigh in before I leave in the morning.0 -
Lacey- LOVE SYTYCD. Excited for it to be beginning again. It's back in the summer as it should be. I don't know why they tweak with a formula that ain't broke. So yeah, it's totally my summer guilty pleasure reality show. Have you heard about this season though? Only 10 peeps are finalists and they are going to be paired with alumni. Now I'm excited about some of the alumni coming back (though am WTFing some of their choices), but I'm not down with the idea. it's too "dancing with the stars"-ish. I want 2 newbies dancing together! But come on... it's not like I'm not going to watch!
Beth- good luck with the date! I'd be interested to hear more about what you can/can't eat after having gastric bypass. The goals for yourself might be a bit altered from someone who hasn't had the surgery. Just curious, as I don't know a ton about aftercare.
Kim- have a good trip!!0 -
Weigh in: 189.4 (-.6)
YES! :drinker: Considering I was up the past couple of days, I'm happy for any bit of a loss, especially considering 1)lost a fair bit last week, and I tend to compensate the week after by maintaining/gaining 2)carb issues through most of week.
Plus, I'm in the 180s! Woot! Now I just need to stay there and keep plugging along, and hope my mini-vacation this week doesn't screw up with it.
As for fitness goals for the week:
1) 5 days of 30 min or more of high intensity exercise- CHECK! Did 6 days!!
2) 2 3+ mile runs- CHECK! Both were just over 4 miles!
So a pretty dang successful week for me.
Well, i'm off in a few. Long day of driving ahead. Will try and check back tonight to see how everyone's day went. *mwha*0 -
Drum roll please
Flips, Twirls, Flips again!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Scale and I are back on (Sorry DH). I think Mr. Scale and I are having an affair. He jumped me to 191 (up 4 pounds) the day after returning from Phoenix with TOM in tow but this morning, I'm down to 186.25!!!! That's down 3/4 of a pound from last week. This is only the second time in the last 5 weeks the scale has moved. I had a tight tank on yesterday and mom commented that somehow I looked even skinnier (God Bless moms!!!!).
I have a busy day with work and won't be home until late. I may not get to check-in again until tomorrow. Have safe travels Kim and Kristina. Have a good time on the date and stretch those feet out Beth. Kendal enjoy your weekend. Good luck on your weigh-ins.0 -
Welcome to the 180s!!!! Great job Kristina.0
-
228.0....thats down 1.4 from last week! YAY! I'm finally getting back on track!
BFF and I are going to see Sex and the City 2 tonight. :bigsmile: We're gonna get all gussied up before going out. The guy I've been casually seeing is planning on coming to see me this weekend too. :bigsmile:
Its snack day at work. I brought baby carrots and mushrooms and ranch dip (the kind where you add the powder to sour cream). Participation has been absolutely SUCKING the past few months and it doesn't look like "Healthy Snack Day" made it any better. I think only about 2-3 other people brought stuff out of a team of 25. UGH. I think its time to cancel it. :grumble: Besides, hopefully by next month my team will be moved out of this department and that means they might make us move to a different floor in the building.
anyways, I guess thats all for now 0 -
Great job Kendal!!!! Your snacks sound good. Too bad others aren't helping.0

Hey super heroes; i feel bad that i haven't been arnd much. I've beeen dealing with alot of things at home.
Things are getting better... Today is Friday? My weigh in is 202. I was 201.2 yesterdat, but flucuations suck... I missed y'all and I'm gnna start logging in everyday again!
**shirts are xl now, some brands xxl..ugh coogie...0 -
we have alot of new ppl! welcome! I read the posts, some left me clueless, I just can't remember all the posts, lmao. I am going jean shopping today at oldnave.. I have a pair of 14's that I bought 2 yrs ago; and they are deff too loose. Hopefully I can get 12's. 3xs are too big now (for a while now), but I bought a bunch of shirts in march... I'll let yous know my size... eekkk0
-
yayy pinbot for being <180 & you too aka!!0
-
bump.....I forgot to weigh in this morning:blushing: , I've been super busy this week outdoors, took off this morning to beat the crowds and did the "meats" bulk shopping, vacumed packed a bunch of portions.... I'll weigh in in the morning and get back with everyone...looks like I need to catch up with posts bigtime!!0
-
AKA and Victoria! Way to go!!! Congrats on the 180's
I'm weighing in tomorrow, as TOM has wreaked havoc on me this week, so we'll see tomorrow. im too scared to try today.
Kendall, have fun at SATC2, and good job on losing!!!0 -
Hey girls! Yeah for this weekend! My BF is coming down, mani's & pedis, then lunch and wine, then shopping and shopping, then SATC2 and Prince of Persia! Excited. I haven't seen her in like forever. It might have been last July. It sucks not living where your friends are. And how sad is it that we're only 1.5 hrs apart and life is still too busy to get together more often!
I hope you all have a good weekend. I might weigh tomorrow. Or I might just say to heck with it and get on the scale next Saturday morning.0 -
To follow up:
I doubt I've lost any weight, but I can say that I must be slimming down somehow...because the watch my husband bought me, that isn't adjustable to make it bigger around, that was almost too snug on my wrist at Christmas, is loose enough now to fit my thumb between it and my skin.
And that, I say, is a win! (and quite the carry on sentence!)0 -
I'll comment more on posts tomorrow, but I just wanted to check in briefly. I made it to North Carolina safe and sound in just under 11 hours. Whew! The drive wasn't too bad except for the torrential downpour and wind that I ran into in the West Virginia/Virgina mountains. Blech!
Went wine tasting with the parents when I got home. Had pizza tonight, but didn't get too out of control with it and it was loaded with veggies. I'm hoping to at least get in a decent power walk tomorrow. Plans are to hit the Carrboro farmer's market, brunch, a neighbor's dance recital (adorable!), and visiting with another friend. Should be nice!
Checking in for the day:
2407 calories needed to maintain
1685 eaten/0 burned/-722 day/-722 week
I don't know how much I'll be able to check in this weekend, but will hopefully do so at least daily. Hope all is well with everyone! :flowerforyou:0 -
Just popping on here for a quick minute...I weighed myself tonight. I want to toture myself for having a ton of pizza and a pint o beer. Last week I weighed 210. This week I weigh 208.5.
!!!!
Now I will weigh again tomorrow morning and see where i sit. It's either a total fluke OR I was maybe not eating enough again?
Until tomorrow morning!
I will reply to posts tomorrow! We're watching Star Wars attack of the clones. Gracie loves star wars which is great since we bothi grew up on the first three!0 -
Hello everyone....not such a good weigh in for me today....I'm up, up, up....to 210???? not sure why...I had worked all week in the yard, mowing, weeding, and our pool... I wasn't good about logging for a couple days, but I ate the regular stuff except for yesterday when I had a doughnut and a slice of pizza...maybe it's salt....or maybe I'm just always going to weigh this amount...what ever, I'm not letting it get to me....I am enjoying the holiday, I may even have some drinks and I'll worry about it next week!
Hubby and I did get out for a run this morning...walked 1 mile, ran 4 miles walked the last mile home...
Enjoy your weekend everyone!!
I am wearing the HRM all day today and we'll see what I burn in a day...I'm curious, I made the run a seperate log.....I'll see tomorrow at 6:30 AM0 -
Morning everyone! Final weigh in: 208!!!!!! I still think it's the darndest thing but I will take it! Woohoo! and I'm going back to the gym Tuesday so that should really help progress as well!
Kristina glad you made it to sc safely! Yeay for weight loss!
Congrats to Victoria as well and nikki (nice to have you back!)
Caroline! I call the scale an evil B when Tom is around. It's like they preplan our ruin or something! Lol.
Beth let us know how your date went!!
Kim, are you going to San Francisco area? My husband and I went on a mini vacay there last year and at ate the Stinking Rose. It's anything Italian and everything is made with garlic. O. M. G. Not only was it amazingly good, the ambience of the place was fantastic. It's in the North Beach area if you are looking for something. I love that area. All those late night bakeries, Italian laces and bars open! Wow!!0 -
Ok, no up but now down either, so I'll take it...
weigh in for this week 199. Works for me. nursing a bad headache.....so, write more later!0 -
Good morning super pals!!! I was home yesterday but didn't log calories. We set up our garage sale in the morning. I decided not to log calories yesterday. I know I was over since I had wine and beer as we people watched the neighbors. Too much fun. No formal exercise but moving tables and hauling stuff was a workout. We had yummy mini hamburgers and hot dogs for meals plus fresh guacamole and chips.
Caroline - great job on staying under 200.
Lacey - hope your girly day was great.
Deb - I can't wait to hear how many cal your HRM says you burned.
Krisina - sounds like you're having a great trip.
Kim - hope you're having fun.
Beth - how was the date? I hope it was wonderful.0 -
Well, scratching my head......my HRM says that I burn on average 96 calories per hour doing nothing but sitting on couch and watching movies...which is what we did all day yesterday after our run.....so that would put me at 2400 calories per day if I did absolutly nothing all day.....this is off by about 268 calories daily compared to mfp counts and also doesn't count when I'm running around all day, I'll be doing a more normal day this week....I have to tell you, wearing the strap was NOT very comfortable for a whole day...but now I have some numbers to figure things out with....I might just have to try to "re-setting of the metabolism thing"....oh bother!:ohwell:0

Hey everyone! Checking in quickly from yesterday:
2407 calories needed to maintain
2111 eaten/218 burned/-514 day/-1236 week
The eating went okay overall, until dinner where we went out for mexican, which was fabulous, but quite caloric. I did a 2.5ish mile walk with the parents that night. We were walking pretty fast and I branched off at the end and ran the last half mile at a pretty speedy pace. I'm hoping to get at least another walk in today. I knew eating wouldn't be pretty these couple of days and I wouldn't be getting as much exercise. I'll just need to kick it into high gear my last two days of the week I'll be back in town before weigh in and hope for not a horrid gain.
Debra- interesting to hear about how much your HRM says you're actually burning.
Victoria- get back on the logging calories train! doesn't matter if you're over- it's a slippery slope. *cracks whip* accountability! Sounds like the sale was fun and you had a nice day!
Carolyn- hey, at least you're still under 200! Yes!!
Plans for the day are pretty relaxing. I'm going through some more stuff in my room to figure out what all I need to take with me back to MI. Will go shopping later with mom as one of the great stores in town is having their annual storewide sale (it's going to be a madhouse there!). Then, just bbqing and relaxing. Totally fine with that!0 -
Morning ladies! Girls day was great. Unfortunately about the last 30 mins of the movie I started not feeling so hot. And an hour after I was home I was having stomach flu. I still don't feel good, my stomach is still rumbly, thoughthere cannot possibly be anything left to come out. Bleh. I had to be the stomach flu, as my BF ate the same exact things as I did and she's fine.
I hope you guys have a great day. I'm gong to go take a warm bath and sip some water!0 -
I am 199.8!!!!:bigsmile:0

still ghosting around here...got woken up by a call at 11:20 this morning from my realtor...someone wanted to see the house at 12. I threw some clothes on and did a few last minute cleaning things before leaving around 11:55. Hopefully something will come out of it. This is the second showing in a week.
We're doing dinner at mom and dad's tonight for mom's birthday. I need to go out and get her a card and a gift. I should work on my brother's chorus video I shot on Thursday night. I bet they would love it if I had it ready by tonight to show to everyone (mawmaw and pawpaw will be there too) 0 -
so this week was an off week at the Y .. no formal classes.. but free try it out and see if you like them classes.. i only went to one it was turbo kick.. i just took the week off.. and did some stuff around the house because june 1st starts the summer classes.. we are usually gone from 4 30 - 7 in the evening.. with everyone in different classes.. it was kinda nice not having to get ready and leave every night.. it was a good break.. but im ready to get back into the working out.. so with me not working off the calories like i normally do .. im weighing in at.....197.8 i think thats the same as last weeks.. so thats good i guess.. didnt gain a whole lot.. and ive not been eatting as much as normal because im not being as active ...
i have gotten the little pool out for my kiddos and they are having a blast... i love summer... and my 4yr got an early bday present her bday is in aug.. we got her a big girl bike... shes super excited... we have been taking walks around the block ... super fun...

well i hope everyone has a wonderful memorial day wkend!!0 -
Checking in for the day:
2407 calories needed to maintain
3067 eaten/0 burned/+660 day/-576 week
Yeah... you read that right. Over 3000 calories for the day. Believe it or not, I could have made even worse food choices. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had worked out. Anyways, weigh in is going to be BAD this week.
Tomorrow shouldn't be AS bad with food. I think we're doing PF Changs for dinner, but the rest of the day should be good- busy. Packing my stuff and car for the drive home on Tuesday. Going shopping for a few things. Getting a peek at the new TV my parents are buying me (woo!)- it's my graduation gift- one year late. I wanted to wait until I had my own place.0 -
Check-in 2156 eaten and over by 616. I did not log exercise but spent 30 min on garage sale reorganizing and more plant repotting.
Kristina - glad you're having a good time. Enjoy this time with you family. You can get back on track Wednesday.
Debra - holy crap that's a huge number of cal for a slow day. Imagine what you burn on an active day!!!! Every skinny person I know eats cookies, pizza, and other crap but uses moderation. Don't be so hard on yourself, and enjoy that slice or two (but not whole pizza) or a few cookies (but not the whole batch or box). Keep us posted on how you do with upping your calories.
Lacey - hope you feel better soon. That's great news on the watch fitting better.
Kendal - I'm holding my breath for you on the house sale.
Nikki - WOOT WOOT!!! Great job girl on breaking into the hundred club.
Carolyn - great job at maintaining.
Mrsmarv - you're doing wonderful too...
I've got to get up to work today. I have to leave thurs for a conferance in Nashville. To see all my clients, I have to work today (cries).0
