Check in so far:
Calories: under yesterday. Didn't feel too hot.
Exercise: was mostly a little stretching, a very few belly dance drills and vocal warmups
Water: I was a wee bit under again...
Proud: proud to be under calories. Proud that today I have my entire recording "studio" set up with me to take to vocal lesson, my vocal lesson book and bag, my clothes for Banquet (in case i don't get time to go home and change) and my work stuff. Proud that i am going to work a part day and make up the time this weekend. proud that I am handling the situation with my friend well and that I am trusing my Higher Power to help me transition between lesson and Banquet well (that's the most dicey part of my day) and bring in the new year with lots of fun with friends and a cute guy.
Oh I have a really gorgeous dress. It has a little black dress under it and it has a filmly see through dress on top but it has lines of satiny animal print ribbon through it so it makes it a little more hiding of the bad stuff, a little more modest and yet teasing at the same time. I got it for cheap at Ross. I want to wear my knee high boots with it, but I had left them in the front room when I went for Christmas and the cats had decided they would make a good bed so they have cat hair. I also have alternately some bronze nearly flat pumps that are cute and comfy to wear if I decide I can't clean the boots well enough to wear. I have an overshirt that is also see through black to go with it so it will also hide my many sins and my hair looks good today so with a little make up and a cute dress and cute shoes I shall feel cute. And that is about half the battle....:glasses:
Todays food plan -
Had a Reeds Ginger Ale for breakfast to help with tummy. Tummy feeling better.
Having zicam all day augmented with green/yerba mate tea, water, zinc, C and unfortunately I am out of D3 (it's not regular D, it's D3)
For lunch Tofu Scramble I couldn't eat yesterday because I felt sick with Chalula hot sauce to help my sinuses
For snackie as needed - cashews and still have some trail mix
For dinner is banquet no desert -- if I miss banquet food by being too late I will have a protein bar or two with me to make it through the night
Possibly will stay up super late and if I do I am allowed to eat breakfast in the middle of the a.m. (2ish) with friends if we do that thing, if not will just go home and crash after the dance.
Exercise will be, of course, shaking my groove thing like a maniac with 1000 of my closest friends.

My husband (who's been really really really :sick: :sick: :sick: sick - ear infections, the whole nine yards) just emailed me to see if I would pick up champagne for tonight, and the ingredients for Eggs Maryland (crab cakes on a toasted English muffin, topped with a poached egg and holendays (sp?) sauce) for tomorrows breakfast. Uhm.... yeah.
I'll mix the crab meat with egg whites to cut back a little bit - and make up a sauce with low fat mayo and lemon juice, and maybe I'll find some high fiber English muffins?:ohwell:
I'll go climb some stairs and tomorrow it sounds like I'll be figuring out how to use that elliptical machine! I got mine from a friend who upgraded her old one - I think I paid about $150 for it and I've never used it.

I was just catching up on everyone.
mstahl, YOU BETTER STAY!!!!! We want you here.
jlb123, glad you found your jaw:laugh: and it wasn't something more serious!!!!! Great Job on your weight loss so far.
Rororosie, dress sounds nice, I bet you are pretty cute!!!
Positively_Me, it was nice to see you today. Enjoy those kids of yours
Okay tomorrow is weigh in day. I am weighing in today because not too sure I will be getting to the computer until after I eat breakfast and all that good stuff. I have decided not to participate in the biggest loser competition because I gained a lot of weight last week. I knew that it would be water weight because all though I ate a lot I did not eat this much. So I will post my weight loss here today.
I have lost 11 pounds this week. Yes eleven!!! I told you it was water weight.
So for those of you who do not know we are posting our weight loss then the percentage of weight loss next to our names. The next person copies and pastes the list to their post adds there name and percentage and so on.
Whoever is next copies and pastes my numbers and adds their name to the list. Here is you calculator

Momma 0% weight loss (really it is 4.3% of water)0 -
Momma, I think you should post your percentage for the Biggest Loser! You've been working hard and water weight or not, it's off! Congrats! :flowerforyou:
Rosie, make sure you take a pic in that cute dress so we can see! :happy:
mstahl, can I come to your house for breakfast tomorrow? :laugh: Sounds YUMMY!
As you know, yesterday wasn't my best. I was going to weigh in today to escape the reality of a weigh-in on New Years Day, so I stepped on the scale. :noway: Gained back all five I lost last week.
So...the question is: do I weigh in tomorrow hoping for a miracle? And who loses five pounds in one day? :frown: I sucked at my own challenge. 0 -
Hi Ladies - I wanted to post a question for fun. As we enter into the year of 2010 (can you belive it's been 10 years already since 1999), what were you doing 10 years ago tonight to ring in the new millennium? I spent it with my parents at a party thrown by my aunt and uncle. I had just quit smoking about 3 months prior and as I drank Sam Adams Winterfest beers, I was jonesing for a cigarette. Luckily my mom was driving home (she doesn't drink) and my parents basically poured me into my bed
I guess it's better than waking up not knowing where or who I was with BTW - I've been smoke free for 10+ years 0 -
WOW ten years ago I was just 14. Mom always made some punch and we would stay up all night. This year I have a new baby, no major plans just enjoying the many blessings in my life such as my wonderful Husband for 2 1/2 yrs and by baby who was 3 mths on Christmas day.
I am new to this group. I just joined the site and I have a ways to go. I had just started a diet plan when I found out I was pregnant. I hit my peak weight when I was pregnant at 331. I have now lost all of my baby weight plus some and am down to 287. For my frame though my goal weight is 150. I have been doing mild working out for about 4 days. And got the 30 day shred video and did the level 1 workout today. I have to take things slow though I had a C section in September and my abdomen muscles get sore quickly. I hope this thred we can keep each other encouraged for those of us that will be here a while! I am very motivated and not just because it is New Years. But motivated to get into shape and stay there for myself and my family!0 -
Calories-totally messed up again and hate to admit it, but I did.
water-32 oz right now
Exercise- shopping for over an hour, but no more but that yet
proud- that I logged in here even though I have to admit that I messed up.0 -
Hmmmm...10 years ago , i was 24 i remember that.
I actually think me and my hubby ( fiance at the time) watched my bf almost 1 yr old so she could work on new years eve. Pretty exciting for a 24 yr old huh.
10 yrs agao, I was probably 70 lbs lighter 2 kids ago , and single (engaged), hard to think that I was not married seems forever that i was married.0 -
Congrats on being smoke free Stephanie.. that is a HUGE accomplishment.. You should be proud of yourself!
10 years ago.. mmm I think I have slept since then. Actually... I was a worry wart (and I still am). I was a single mom of two young children. My oldest was 6 and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2008 so, I was a worried mama not knowing what the new millennium would bring. I know I went to bed before midnight (as we usually do). Nothing too spectacular.
Now I am happily married to the man of my dreams with two teenagers at home, one step teenager that visits and a step son and daughter in law who we see when their schedule allows and we have 4 little woofties, 3 min pins and 1 puggle.0 -
Welcome kspear, you'll love it here
Okay, 10 yrs ago I lived in a bigger city and rented our home we only had 2 children, they were 6 and 2. I just became a Christian about 2 weeks before so I was feeling pretty good even though my 2 daughters got the stomach flu on Christmas and the transmission on our only car went out. I felt free and content. I also quit smoking when I became a Christian. Now ten yrs later I am still a Christain and I have moved to a small town where we bought a home, we now have 2 more children and 2 cars. Wow, how much better off we are now. My life has improved so much. New yrs eve has a lot of special meaning for me. Today would have been my fathers 80th birthday (he died when I was 21:noway: That was 18 years ago). I actually met my husband on New Years Eve many yrs ago 
I love my husband!!! 0 -
Ten years ago we got talked into leaving our vacation early so we could hang out with my family at my parents farm, to ring in the new year. My Dad was so EXCITED because the two daughters that lived on the West coast were coming home! My high maintenance sister decided at 11:45 that she was too tired to stay up 15 minutes and she and her husband and son all went to bed. Or at least into the biggest bedroom and shut the door.:huh:
My other sisters and I were pretty much :noway: WTF? but none the less it was nice.
I was working for Kent State University at the time, in networking and my boss wanted me to be on site for the fail over - make sure all the systems worked. I knew it would be fine and was finally able to convince her that I would be an hour away and if I couldn't ping the system I'd come in to work :ohwell:
We had our first mastiff, Maestro, and he was only 2! My oldest (step) granddaughter was 7 (WOW) and my youngest wasn't even imagined as his parents had separated just before the new year. 10 years ago I didn't realize that I would one day not be able to survive without access to google
Welcome kspear! :flowerforyou:
Today -
Calories OVER but I haven't had dinner so it could get worse!
Water - under I'll drink a bunch now that I'm home!
Exercise - found out that it's REALLY HARD to walk up and down stairs in high heals! YIKES! So less than I should have :frown:
Proud - I'm proud that I didn't eat any of the rice, and that each time I've messed up I haven't given up for the day. My next meal will be smarter and I'll make these calories count!0 -
Welcome Kspear0120 and thanks for sharing your NYE story and congratulations on baby and weight loss.
Mstahl - that's ok, I think I may have passed out "I mean fall asleep" before midnite too, but it was probably on my aunt's couch. My friend was telling me her husband had to be on a conf call at 12:05 because he worked in IT networks as well.
Momma2four - isn't it amazing how much can change in 10 years. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your dad, and I think that's really neat you met your husband on NYE
Coloradogirl - thank you, I can't believe I ever smoked. It sounds like your oldest is doing well (even with all the worries). I have three doggies myself, all mixes who kind of look the same (on purpose).
Lildebbie - 10 years does seem like a long time ago. I think I may have been 50 lbs lighter then, but I'm glad I'm here because I can work at being 50 lbs lighter next year with all of you inspirational ladies 0 -
Was just curious how much we have all lost together...and just off people's tickers this is what i got. Mine is a little more cause I lost some before coming to MFP . If anyone else has lost more than on the ticker please update it (of if that wasn't this year or such). Fun to see that we have lost a whole lot as a whole.

282 lbs as a group.0 -
282 pounds is awesome, gang!
10 years ago... Let's see -- I was 15. I hadn't gotten my driver's license yet (I had failed the test twice at that point, lol -- forget trying to parallel park a THUNDERBIRD!! :laugh:). One of my older friends had his license so he picked a bunch of us up & we went to his house. We stayed there & had a fun little perfect angel kid party until a little after midnight. After that, another friend who could drive drove some of us cooler kids (:laugh:) to another friends house where we spent the night. I don't remember exactly what happened after that (*ahem*), but I think that's when the party really started.
Seriously, watch out for your 15 year olds. They're sneaky. I think my mom might die if she knew the stuff I got into when I was15 (and I was a GOOD straight-"A," band dork type kid. But, I wasn't just good at school and band... I was really good at not getting caught, too.

Hey everyone...remember me? Boy did I have to do some detective work to find you gals. LOL Well I'm back...been gone for about a month. I guess life kinda got in the way. I missed my Jan 1st goal. But, on the bright side, I haven't gained any weight. I managed to maintain my 29 lbs weight loss. At any rate, I'm back for good hopefully this time.0

mscocoa: Hey girl, I have been wondering about you. Glad your back and great job on maintaining.
Today was another lazy, take it easy day, the stomach is still gurgling but I can tell I am feeling better.
calories: under
water: under
exercise: none
proud: that I have learned to eat smaller portions and stuck with it. That I have a great group of ladies for support.
HAPPY NEW YEARS ALL!0 -
mscocoa: glad to see you back!
Snowflakes: glad you are starting to feel better.. hang in there.
check in
calories.. actually did good even though I had pizza tonight
water... great
exercise. did not do much.. a little sore from PT yesterday
Proud: that I am ending 2009 healthier than I started it!
I am a little bummed tonight... all of my neighbors (good friends) as well as my family are over next door. I stayed as long as I could but, I am allergic to cats and could not breath after 90 minutes. So, now I am home alone with my woofties. I guess I will just take a antihistamine, a neb treatment and go to bed!
Good night all and Happy New Year!:flowerforyou:0 -
My 1st weigh in of 2010 is not going soo good.
Up 2 lbs from Christmas eve...It is TOM and I think mostly water...i am not going to update my ticker yet, i think it will come back off.0 -
So i didn't loose any weight, but was time to do my measurements, and I have lost 3.5 from everywhere since last month . I take measurements and record 1st friday of the month.
That is a total of 13 inches from everywhere...I have lost over a foot Wish all that could be like in my hips and gut, but guess it got to come off all over. 0 -
Happy New Year Everyone!!!!! I weighed this morning and I have lost 4.2 pounds, I just don't know how b/c I have ate awful for the last 2 days but that is what my scales say so IDK. I must not have done as much damage as I thought I had done. As of today I am on it and I will do better this year than I done last year, Today is my one year Anniversary on MFP. I can't believe that I have been here a year. I had lost 52 pounds but gained 21 pounds back but the truth is that I am 35 pounds lighter than I was last year on January 1st so for that I am very proud.0
-
OK new year, new weigh in for me. I'm just going to do a "do-over" and say my starting weight is 212, my goal is to lose at least 1% each week.0

1. to become more healthy and fit
2. to become a bit more Green.

January 1, 2010
Here we go into a new year. I love getting a new calendar wondering what will fill the pages. I have changed my weight loss goal for an additional 5 pounds to lose, my first goal was just a few pounds under being overweight. I am large frame with a 7" wrist, I feel like this is doable.
Hope to feel up to snow shoeing later today. It is lightly snowing again this morning. The scales say that I gained .4 pounds with the flu??? Maybe My body thought that it was in starvation mode and clinging to the dreaded fat. This week I'll be back to my routine and that will help. What a party poop I was last night. I watched a movie with the family and then went to bed at 10:00 PM. Hope you all had a safe and peaceful night.0 -
Ok so I am going to weigh in and its not good but I will say that I ate poorly yesterday and I also started my period yesterday too so in all fairness I know this is not my true weight because of water retention.Last week I weighed in at 231 and this week it 236.4 but I am not worried because I know when Aunt Flow disappears it will go back down hopefully a bit more because of all the exercise I have performed this week.I skipped exercise one day this week so I should pull GREAT number next week.I will post a new thread with a new titl on Sunday.GREAT JOB to those of you who did lose this week.I really feel I would have lost a few if my period hadn't come along LOL>But NO EXCUSES for me so thats my post.I will post calories ,exercise and water later.0

I guess the holidays caught up with us afterall! But you know what this means, right? We're all already back on track so next week is going to be awesome for all of us! 0 -

I was 200 yesterday AM - I weigh in at work, after breakfast around10 most mornings... Last night I came home from work already over calories, but knew I'd have a glass of champagne for the new year... My DH "made" a pizza (frozen Di Giornos) and brought me a glass of wine and... I ate two pieces (500 + calories) and had a glass of red (but I made it last from 7 - 11:30 which is a miracle for me!) and of course the champagne (only one glass) at midnight so I was over more than 1000 calories:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:
I weighed in this morning and I'm back up at 202 but A) I using my home scales and
I'm sure I'm holding water weight from the salty Mexican and pizza yesterday. Today I'm going to work on hooking up the elliptical machine and figuring out if my old heart monitor works :happy:
Calories - way way over
Water - good
Exercise - just two trips up the stairs - but I jogged up the first TWO flights!
Proud - that I stood strong and told my husband we weren't going to follow our tradition and I spread out the weekends "New Years" meals so I can still keep to my calories today and tomorrow! (I.E. - no crab cakes egg Benedict this morning AND steaks tonight!!!)

Happy New Year All!!!!
My New Years Resolution is to keep doing what I have been doing and to hit that 100 pounds lost mark. (60 Pounds)
After Zora and Rororosie post whoever our biggest loser is, please give us a challenge. I will participate in the biggest loser competition next Week. I just did not feel right about posting an 11 pound weight loss when I knew it was water. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, I probably will not be back until Mon. (I may be back)0 -
Looks like we got lots of 0's this week
that means next week is going to be awsome for alot of us...Right:)0 -
Looks like we got lots of 0's this week

YES IT WILL!!!! And think how amazing it is that we didn't all gain weight last week! :bigsmile: CHRISTMAS WEEK and we're all doing FINE! It's amazing! Aside from a little water weight we are holding our own against the SURGING CURRENT of FOOD and FAMILY and CULTURE and we are VICTORIOUS!!!!!:flowerforyou:
I'm super motivated to be the biggest loser one of these times because I have a fun challenge idea 0
