Over 200 Club New Year New Me Part 21

Thanks for all the anniversary wishes. We had a GREAT meal and if I logged correctly, I didn't even go super over my calories. I'm not super confident that the choices I picked in the database are equivalent to what I had in the restaurant, but we'll call it close enough.
Check-in from yesterday:
Cals - Under...or over by like 100 or so. Not too shabby for an indulgent meal!
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: C25K W4D2, 20 min on the ArcTrainer, 1 hour of yoga = 702 cals (why I'm close to being under)
Proud: All that exercise and planning ahead so I would be able to fully enjoy my dinner last night. It was totally worth it.
Cris, you are amazing. You are one of my inspirations. Follow the advice of all these women and reassess what you're doing and how you're doing. Sounds like you need an adjustment in your plan.
On Monday, I weighed in at 192.2, and I think I'm at 193.8 today after last night's sodium agogo. 196-193.8 = 2.2 loss

Thanks everyone....my mood is not better to be honest.
LW- 195.2
CW- 197.4
Gain of 2.2lbs
Im surprised its not more, Ive been eating fried foods and other yucky sodiumrific stuff. Regardless, I am taking the weekend off, not even thinking abut calories and excercising, then I am going to re-access my goals and how to get there.
I tried really hard to make this a lifestyle change and not a diet. I ate foods that I enjoyed (in smaller portions) and didnt make any changes that couldnt be upheld long term. The problem is that I love love love fast food. Yes, its fine in moderation but I used to eat fast food meals everyday sometimes more than twice a day. I was able to stop doing that for the first 60lbs but now its getting harder and harder to resist the convenience especially when its 830pm and you still havent had dinner because u were at a baseball game (step sons)....my schedule is so hectic that I havent been focusing much on pre-planning my meals, which I know was a big part of my success earlier on...as I always say...if you fail to plan you plan to fail. Thats how I feel right now. Not to mention that temptations are popping up everywhere...during the first 60lbs I ate something if I wanted it, but I would just take a bite or two ...now with so many more temptations around I find that my one or two bites are adding up to a whole lot! ok sorry for the ramble.
I hope to come back on monday well rested and ready to kick butt...but for now I am throwing up the white flag...0 -
Colorado Girl-Yay on the pond being done! It sounds beautiful!! Hope the froggies stick around for you!
tstout-Weekends are hard for everybody! I usually don't even track on weekends. Just try to be mindful of what I'm eating. You will get it. Congrats on all your exercise yesterday! That's awesome!
blue-Your critters are awfully scary looking! Furry furry!
awestfall-You can't not eat the rest of the day. Just exercise and make sensible choices. Seems like you fluxuate just as much as I do. Don't let the scale beat you up. Take the weekend off and relax. Let your muscles relax. You may be having the same problem little spy is having and they are holding onto a lot of water.
So I just got an email from my sister with a picture of some dresses she was looking at for bridesmaids for her wedding in October. EEEkKK!!!! She hadn't been doing much wedding planning with everything else going on so I guess nows the time! I think we may go tomorrow and try some on. I'm so excited. That is just the motivation I needed!! She's looking at getting the two pieces...which would be awesome for me since my butt is bigger then my top half. If she wants to buy them soon picking a size should be good times! :laugh: I wouldn't even know what size to get. I guess you can always take a dress in but you can't take it out!0 -
Just .5 loss, but I'll take it - I am desperate!

I don't think exercise is the PROBLEM. It's never the problem (unless the issue is that you're addicted to exercise or something!). Your muscles could be retaining some water which caused your weight to go up a little, but that's not a PROBLEM because it's TEMPORARY and doesn't prevent fat loss or anything.
It could be the 214 was a fluke (didn't you say you weighed again a few minutes later and it showed 220 or something?) or it could be that you're actually holding 8 pounds of water in some way or another today. Or it could be a combination. I know my weight seems to fluctuate based on my hormonal cycle just as much as it does depending how much sodium I eat. And sometimes I weigh myself when I'm not carrying much "what-not" weight and maybe I'm a little dehydrated. Then a few days later, maybe I'm FULL of "what-not" and completely hydrated -- that can easily make me weigh 5 pounds more. It doesn't mean I've actually gained any weight -- I feel like a parrot saying this all the time but these are (say it with me now) *normal daily fluctuations.* :laugh:
2 weeks ago I was at 198.2. Just a few days later, I was flirting with 205. I'm back down to 199 today because all that weight was just temporary water weight. If I had freaked out and eaten bags of chips or if I had stuffed my face with other horrible stuff & stopped exercising because I felt like I wasn't losing weight, then at that point I would have relinquished all control. I don't want my weight to control me.
*YOU* are the one in control here.0 -
Thanks Julie I totally needed this reminder and you are amazing.By the way it was 214 yesterday evening as well because I ate great all day and then 220 this morning .I am not going to let it get to me I am getting my big bum up and going to exercise now.You always motivate me Julie and Jess.Thanks so much gals!!!0

Well said! I love your words of wisdom all the time even if you feel like a parrot! I let the scale control me for a long time but I'm not doing it anymore. I look at myself and how far I've come and I feel great about it. It's not easy to do what we have done. My friend told me last week that when someone wants to lose weight they have to want it, like REALLY want it. Because it's not easy. And if you don't really really want it, it's not going to happen. And I agree with that 100%. Don't let the scale control you awestfall. It's all about how you feel. Now's the time you look at your accomplishments. You can run when a couple months ago you couldn't run so much. You feel good about yourself. Your doing this for you and your family. Put the bag of chips down and put it behind you. Let's make today a good day. Don't kill yourself with exercise. You don't want to over do it.0 -
apparently I was full of crap because now I am 3 pounds light LOL!! off to exercise now.0

Thanks Jess!! You are such a sweetie!! Bag of chips are thrown away and I am back at it and feeling good.I will not let the scale own me or control me.I haven't for awhile now but it seems like this week has been bad for me and the scale after Memorial Weekend.Tomorrow is a new day and right now is a new start and just forget about those darn chips and move on and focus on the good things that are happening.My is still up from last weekend.I weighed in yesterday at 214 and then this morning 222 what the he**???:noway: I didn't even eat bad at all yesterday and my weight is up.I am exercising hardcore today or do you gals think that may be the problem?

Well said Julie:flowerforyou: !!
Awestfall: I think your gain could be your TOM is coming up soon. Mine and your comes around the same time. So it could be the result of gain/loss water weigh...don't stress. It will all come off

Jess is a very wise woman.
Don't worry about the chips too much, just do whatever amount of exercise makes you feel good (physically). No guilt, no worries, what's done is done and you have total control over the now. :happy: This is all about making healthIER decisions (because, let's face it, you can't be completely healthy 100% of the time. I'm not sure I know what "completely healthy" would even be!).
It is so amazing to look back at how far we've come. Truly awe inspiring, really. We're all pretty incredible! :bigsmile:0 -

I somehow missed your post. I think taking the weekend off and not thinking about a darn thing is a great idea. You really sound burnt out. I just want to come and give you a hug. Everybody has been there. You will get through it. Take the time off that you need and re evaulate. You do have a lot going on. I hope you get to feeling better. Pamper yourself this weekend. Do most definitely deserve it!0 -

aww you called me wise! I'm flattered! I learn from the best! :blushing: This website has seriously taught me sooo much more then I could ever dream of. And so have all of you. We are all very incredible. Everyone of us! And I agree. It's impossible to be healthy 100% of the time. I mean come on, I pigged out on mexcian food last night. And I loved it! Didn't even feel guilty! :laugh: :laugh: You will drive yourself nuts. I've been there. It's not fun times!0 -
Jess- you made me cry...like literally there are tears streaming down my face right now. I do need a hug, and yea I guess I am pretty burnt out. Even though you are far away I still felt that hug, and I thank you for that...I needed one0
-
Cris -- do what you gotta do. But if you're not here Monday, we *will* hunt you down.
What I meant by sustainable is.... from what I understand you were netting about 500-600 calories most days. Your body and mind are tired of it and now you're burned out. You're giving yourself a vacation from worrying about being healthy and... well, I think that's okay!! When I'm on vacation (errrr.... my honeymoon?) in 2 weeks, I'm going to drink and I'm going to smoke and I'm going to eat whatever the hell I want. :laugh: I'm not going to continue doing that every day though, because that's what won me the prize of being a morbidly obese asthmatic depressed anxious insanely unhappy person for several years.
That's looking at the bigger picture (which I feel is the most important picture). 0 -
I haven't been eating that great, and I weighed 274.0 2 days ago, but then I ate poorly the past 2 days, plus I'm retaining water from not drinking enough and in my muscles due to starting trainer workouts again. But, I think I am at 274.2 today so that's what I tracked. It's hard to tell, I was at 275.8, then I ate breakfast, but then I had to use the bathroom so I did the before and after weigh in, since I hadn't logged my weight yet. :laugh: :blushing: That puts me at -2.4 from last week, but I had a gain last week, so only -1.8 for our thread.

It's an easy day to get emotional on this thread!! All the love and tears...we truly have a special thing going on here.
I just had to come and post a quick thing - I am wearing my mom's pants!!! Size "1" in Chico's, which apparently is around an 8/10. WHAT?!? They are stretchy and are a little tight on the legs (not too tight or she would have told me, that's what moms do), but I am rocking them. HOORAY! I have not been able to share clothes with my mom for almost 8 years. So exciting!!0 -

It could be the 214 was a fluke (didn't you say you weighed again a few minutes later and it showed 220 or something?) or it could be that you're actually holding 8 pounds of water in some way or another today. Or it could be a combination. I know my weight seems to fluctuate based on my hormonal cycle just as much as it does depending how much sodium I eat. And sometimes I weigh myself when I'm not carrying much "what-not" weight and maybe I'm a little dehydrated. Then a few days later, maybe I'm FULL of "what-not" and completely hydrated -- that can easily make me weigh 5 pounds more. It doesn't mean I've actually gained any weight -- I feel like a parrot saying this all the time but these are (say it with me now) *normal daily fluctuations.* :laugh:
2 weeks ago I was at 198.2. Just a few days later, I was flirting with 205. I'm back down to 199 today because all that weight was just temporary water weight. If I had freaked out and eaten bags of chips or if I had stuffed my face with other horrible stuff & stopped exercising because I felt like I wasn't losing weight, then at that point I would have relinquished all control. I don't want my weight to control me.
*YOU* are the one in control here.
Well said Julie:flowerforyou: !!
Awestfall: I think your gain could be your TOM is coming up soon. Mine and your comes around the same time. So it could be the result of gain/loss water weigh...don't stress. It will all come off
See Awestfall - No worries right I am the same way and mine is suppose to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday. Good luck girl! We are in this journey together...WE can do this!!!
Cris: Take Jess's amazing advice:flowerforyou: and get plenty of rest and relaxation and come back on Monday. If you don't WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!! LOve ya:flowerforyou:0 -
It's an easy day to get emotional on this thread!! All the love and tears...we truly have a special thing going on here.
I just had to come and post a quick thing - I am wearing my mom's pants!!! Size "1" in Chico's, which apparently is around an 8/10. WHAT?!? They are stretchy and are a little tight on the legs (not too tight or she would have told me, that's what moms do), but I am rocking them. HOORAY! I have not been able to share clothes with my mom for almost 8 years. So exciting!!
Elmox: Way to go in ROCKING a size 1 ..I can feel your excitement thought my computer:laugh: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Good morning all, first I want to just say that you girls make me smile! I've only got a minute before I'm meeting a friend for her birthday lunch and a walk.
Cris: HANG IN THERE! You are doing great, you know you won't quit ... you just give yourself a break! You will be back on track before you know it. :flowerforyou:
mstahl: that's great that your new job is going so well! I'd love to put some pigs, goats, chickens etc. on our riverfront land ... I also wanted to put no trespassing signs, and a big sign by the road that says 'Welcome to our Campground' ... but my husband is restraining me. He is probably right. I really hope that land sells soon.
No loss for me to record this week ... I actually lost the pound that I gained last week (and never officially recorded)- so I'm happy with that.

Elmox-Way to goo!!!! You go girl!!! That's gotta feel amazing!!!
So weird thing happened. I was in the restroom and a non customer came in to cash a check...so my manager had to help him. He asked my manager where the hot girl was that works here. WEIRD!! He's either talking about me or my other 60 year old co worker. :laugh:0 -
This question that I’m about to ask, not relating to MFP, but is for facebook users.
Ok I let my daughter joint facebook, about 2 weeks ago, with the consent of her father and me. she is getting use to the whole facebook thing. The whole reason she made an account was to stay connect to her friends in both schools (weekend and weekday). With many months of *nagging* to make an account, we let her join. I am not that advanced and neither is she. In a matter of a couple of days she managed to have 200+ friends…all that go to her school(s), but still I found that too much people to have so I made her choose friends tha she talks to on a regular bases. She managed to narrow it down to 100+. I know too much rambling and not getting to my point. But I wanted to give some information on my standpoint to her wanting facebook and me thinking it was a good idea. Back to me getting to my question. ..
Question: there is a feature that you can message people (on facebook) online…( the feature is like yahoo or aol messaging) well she was talking to a friend ( weekend school) and they were talking about personal things ( I guess not sure what ). But she started getting massages from friends that were also on line asking her “what are you talking about?” then she put two things together. Could it be possible to reply to one friend on line and the rest ( of friends) online can get the same message? This is what she said, that when she was talking to her friend on person responded *girly issues* and that is when she realized everyone was getting the message that she thought she was writing between her and her friend.
Is there a something I can do to have her talk to one friend on messaging and only that person can read the message. After she relized that more than one person was reading the personal message she wanted to deactivate her account..
I don't mind her having a facebook, because I DO check it to see who/what she has on it...basic things. also, I don't want her to feel diconnected from her friends..that was the whole reason for the account. she is 14 going on 15 soon. was is a good or bad choice for me to give in? Not sure anymore :-(
I hope I made sense …sorry if not0 -
Jess- I am pretty sure YOU are the hottie he was referring to....lol, more dates coming your way? :laugh:
pos_me- I think its wonderful that you are so involved in what your kids are looking at. I think more parents need to take the time to go thorugh their kids fb pages to see what they do on there. I see young girls posting pictures of them being drunk and wearinkg skany outfits...so ridiculous! If I ever EVER caught my kids exposing themselves like that online they'd be in HUGE trouble...ok now im off topic. Anyway, I am not sure how that works on the chat thing. As far as I know only the person you are messaging gets your message...but I could be wrong. FB does however, have a lot of security measures that you can CHOOSE to implement. I suggest you take some time go over all the secuirty measures and apply them accordingly! Good luck and great job being a good momma! KUDOS!0 -

There are different security features you can adjust in the settings to make sure only friends can see her profile. I would first go and do that. The "Chat" feature should only be between the two people. They can also email in a emailing way. Just make sure she isn't writing "wall to wall" if that makes sense. Hope that helps!
Cris-I'm all for more dates!! :laugh: I feel like "another one bites the dust" is the theme song of my dating life! :laugh: But I'm okay with that. Not setteling for jerk faces!0 -
I mentioned before that I did a terrible job drinking water yesterday... I have some weird aversion to drinking water out of a glass. BUT! I just found my nalgene bottle (lovely, ugly, bright green color)!! And magically I'm 30 ounces into the day just like that!
Random note: My best friend gave me a book: How to be Lovely; The Audrey Hepburn Way of Life. Marvelous book that I've been looking at a lot lately. As I find good things to share, I'll post them up
Today's quote comes from Maya Angelou:
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.0 -
I am the one who created the account so I clicked on *only me* or *Friends only* feature because she is only there to talk/write to her friends, no more no less.It wasn't wall to wall it was Chat with one friend and how the others got the message..from her side.is really unclear to me. I think the girl wrote personal information that was only between her friend and she, but how the other got the same messages is beyond me. I did go into her account and readjusted everything to see maybe i must have click everyone but no everything was fine.
thanks jess ( hott stuff!)and cris :flowerforyou:0
