Good Afternoon from KC, where we're having a snow day, even though the snow hasn't even started falling yet. :frown: It's ridiculous! The kids just went back to school yesterday! Deep breath!
I've completed my workout and might get to shovel, when and if it starts to accumulate. LOL! It might sound weird, but I LOVE to shovel snow! (I hope I didn't just jinx myself by saying that.)
Breezy, a monthly thread is a great idea.

I know Topeka well! I went to Whitson, Landon, and Topeka West, then we moved before my sophmore year. My parents moved back after I graduated.
The snow finally started about an hour ago. I just finished sweeping. There wasn't enough to shovel, maybe 1/2", but I wanted to outside and do something.
I just heard... no school tomorrow, either. :sad:
Take care and stay warm!

Since I weigh in on Friday for another thread I'll just post my weight here as well just in case we decide to resume.
Congratulations Jandie on losing 3 lbs and getting out of the obese category, that's a HUGE success. Be proud of yourself b/c it was your hard work that got you where you are.
GA is expecting 3 inches of snow and I swear the state just might shut down. I don't mind all the hoopla b/c it may cut my work day short. I'm originally from Boston so 3 inches isn't impressing me at all BUT since I don't like shoveling I'm glad it's not much more than that.0 -
Good afternoon ladies!!!
Ugh I've been eating good all day and then my hubby called me and told me he wouldnt be home by the end of the month like they thought, and they're still not giving them an exact date.... ugh.... its so frustrating so then at my sons snack time I was making him some raisin bread toastand just gave in and ate 5 pieces.... ugh...i feel horrible...... and ive been feeling so good about myself and I feel like I'm looking thinner but the scale still hasnt moved so im feeling down about that too. ugh0 -

Supermom I can't imagine what you're going through with not knowing when your husband will be returning but try not to let it sidetrack all the progress you've made. According to your tracker you've lost 51 and that's awesome. I know not seeing the scale move can be frustrating but continue plugging away. If you haven't already you may want to take a look at what your doing and switch things up. Perhaps your body has adjusted to your workout regime and your eating habits. It's a new year, so shake it up a little.
All in all I wish you luck as you continue your weight loss journey and I will pray that your husband will return home soon.0 -
Normally I'd tell everyone getting snow to send it to New Mexico (where I am), but I just finished shovelling the last foot from the driveway and need a week to get over it.
It's snowing in strange places this week. Next week sent it my way.
JAM0 -
Send snow my way!!! Its only going to freeze here, probably be in the 20s some later in the week supposedly, I'd LOVE to have snow!!!!
Thanks for the encouragment ladies, I ended up going for a run in my house and felt a lot better about the stress eating... at least I burned the calories off, but still I need to learn to deal with stress better, like just exercising in the first place and not eating outside of my calorie count for the day, especially when I'm stress eating energy dense-nutrient lacking foods. I hope everyone had a good day and is staying focused on their goals!0 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I love that there are so many of us posting on this thread again. I like the idea of changing the thread each month so we don't lose track of it. I haven't posted a new weight in awhile but I think it's long enough after the holidays and the big lunch at the Chinese restaurant that my weight should be valid when I weigh either tomorrow or Friday.
I've been staying within my calories by ending my day with 20 minutes on the exercise bike, in fact, that's what I'm off to do right now.

Sorry I know this is really random but you said holidays and Chinese restaurant in the same sentence and the scene from The Christmas story popped in my head where they're at the Chinese restaurant Christmas day and the men are trying to sing and then they chop the ducks head off right in front of them lol We always have the 24hr marathon playing every Christmas day, again sorry for the randomness lol "Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra"0 -
I am still here. I had done the chart with the weigh ins, but with the holidays I have been kind of absent. Also, as reflected in my tracker we moved our wedding date up to the end of this month so that's been keeping me busy, too. My fiance joined the Army National Guard and will be going to Basic Training. So, I won't be at my goal weight by my wedding, but if I would really love to get to 120 by then if possible. Maybe we could do a separate Fit N' Fun Sized Weigh-In Thread that we could post to as we feel that we need it for accountability? That would definitely help me if you want to keep up the chart so we can continue our support of one another and I probably wouldn't miss as many people.
I have been doing pretty well in the new year with my nutrition goals, but I have not been getting in as much exercise as I would like.
Happy New Year to All!0 -

Haha supermom, we have that marathon every christmas too so funny! I didn't work out this morning ugghhh. ive been in a funk since the holidays...ive been doing better but still am going over my calories. I don't know why i have to be sooo hungry at night. During the day i do great and then it goes downhill at night time. If i could fix this problem i would be doing soo good. I havent lost a pound in i dont know how long-guessing at least a month. I need more willpower but just cant seem to find it. Anyway, just venting...have a good day today ladies.0

Morning all, it is so cold here, but I didn't have to shovel snow this am
I moved up to Level 2 on the shred and am feeling it a bit today. In this kind of cold my knees are killing me so I am off running for a few days. The gym is closed due to the weather, starting to feel a little bit of the cold weather blues. On the plus side , I have to go buy some new t-shirts thisweekend as I have lost enough weight that none of mine fit. So that is my motivation to NOT sit by the fire and roast marshmellows. Have a good fRiday everyone 0 -
Good afternoon my fit n fun gals. Im checking in pretty late today b/c I've been out running errands alot longer than I had anticipated but today's workout is complete. I did 45 minutes of the Biggest Loser "30 day jumpstart" dvd. I also weighed in today and I'm down 3 lbs. I'm super duper excited about that.

I always play a christmas story on Christmas Eve / Christmas morning. LOVE that movie. :bigsmile:0 -
:flowerforyou: I weighed this morning and am thrilled to report one more pound lost
we're going out for Asian food tomorrow night so I'll probably stay away from the scale until the end of next week so the sodium/water weight doesn't freak me out again:laugh:
:flowerforyou: savvystephy I love that movie, too (the Christmas Story). I watched it again this year.......it never seems to get old.
:flowerforyou: Choco, congrats on your weight loss......i love your new picture.
We're out of town for the weekend.....we had lunch in a restaurant that had nothing on the menu that would be anything close to what I wanted to eat and stay within calories so I ordered exactly what I wanted (salmon---grilled with no sauce, steamed veggies, salad with no cheese or croutons and dressing on the side) and my lunch was perfect and under 400 calories. Then I went to the hotel fitness center and walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes before I had to meet someone.:bigsmile:0 -

Thank Jandie, I need all the encouragement I can get.
Good morning ladies, I had a minor set back last night. I was out of my house much longer than anticipated and as a result ate what was available (Tostitos w/hint of Jalepeno - absolutely love these chips) BUT I did not go over my calories so I consider that a small victory. Wouldn't you know the minute I bust past this plateau and lose 3 lbs the devil is knocking on my door trying hard to make me slip up and lose focus. As my mother use to say "the devil is a liar" I will not regain those three pounds that I have recently lost.
As it is is freezing cold in GA and the GA Dept of Transportation has stated to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary I decided to skip the gym and kickboxing class (which means no sauna and protein shake yet again ) . Instead I did 30 minutes of the Biggest Loser "Cardio Max" dvd and 15 minutes of my "Melt it off" dvd for a total of 45 minutes and approximately 350 calories burned .
Here's Saturday's meals:
Breakfast: 1 cup of Quaker oatmeal w/ 1 cup of strawberries
Lunch: 6 inch turkey breast and pepper jack cheese on a whole wheat bread packed w/lots of veggies (lettuce, spinach, tomato, onions, pickles, black olives and banana peppers) and 1 cup of apple slices
P.M. Snack: Light and fit vanilla yogurt w/ 1/4 cup of granola
Dinner: Healthy Choice complete meal - lemon pepper fish, rice pilaf and broccoli
Total calories: 11290 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: We are so blessed to have our exercise videos when the weather keeps us home.
I am grateful today for the high quality treadmill in the fitness room in this hotel. I just came back from burning 150 calories and will still get to the early meeting i have to go to.
Never,never, never give up:bigsmile:0 -
Happy Saturday! The sun is shining... but it's still CCCC-O-L-D! I did 30 minutes of step aerobics this morning... then ate leftovers from Thursday night (when we indulged in mexican food). I want to do another 30 minutes of cardio when we get back from my son's basketball game. I just happy to get out of the house.
Keep up the great work, girls! I'm counting the days until shorts weather! :happy:

Hello all,

We are supposed to get into the 20's though so its getting warmer. Now it is NFL playoff tiem so I will do laundry(up and down the stairs) and watch foot ball
Happy weekend all0 -
I did an hour of Zumba this morning. I found an instructor that I really like with times that fit into my schedule. I am going to try to stick with that for my primary cardio in the new year.0

Happy Sunday all, I'm thankful for having another day on this blessed earth AND for having completed my Sunday workout. I've generally designated Sunday's as my rest days but have joined another MFP thread that challenges you to workout 7 days a week. The great thing is the exercise, intensity and time is determined by the participants so you don't have to worry about over doing it. It's really a challenge to just get moving again so when that was explained to me I decided to give it a go. So I decided to get up early and get the exercise in so I could relax by watching my favorite show "The Wire" (3 episodes on netflix), the football games and reading. What a lovely way to spend this cold but sunny Sunday.
I've eaten breakfast and planned out the rest of the days meals so I'm feeling pretty good this morning. I hope everyone's day goes exactly as planned.0 -
After reading through the posts it looks like everyone is doing well with thoughtful eating and excercise. That is great everyone.
My kids and I went skiing yesterday and two things have definitely changed since last year: I can go from the very top to the very bottom without having to stop and rest and I could walk the 4 flight of stairs from the parking lot to the lifts WITHOUT getting winded or having to stop to rest. We had a great time, but I realize I only have a few more years before my kids will be able to beat me down the hill.
Skiing burns so many calories that I sort of gave myself a free day yesterday. I did not overeat and I did not have fries or chips with my burger, but I did allow myself to have ice cream for desert last night.
Today is clean the house and take down the tree day, so I better get at it.
Have a great day!

So excited! My sister had her baby yesterday and everyone is doing well. That means that they will be able to be at my wedding.
My goal weight for my new wedding date of January 30th is 120 and I am currently at 121.0. I will work on the other 10 pounds when I get back from my honeymoon.0
