Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

@Raven he knows he's doing these things. I know he isn't doing it to upset me and I have told him before how I felt about it. I just don't fell like reiterating myself every time something like that happens.

Ah, I gotcha. I can definitely understand not wanting to reiterate things like that. Well, regardless, you've lost 14 pounds already. Just try not to let it get to ya too much and keep up the good work. ^.^

Check in: It was a good weekend overall. I hung out with friends and rang in my new year right, with a scale victory. Thought I'd give myself a treat and have carne asada chips ... well that won't be happening again (heartburn city - boo!). Otherwise, made decent choices and was at work on time despite an earlier start time. Life is good.

Well, I had a good and hard weekend.Didnot eat very nutritionally, but stayed within my calories. Exercise is my problem . Any ideas out there. I have been a little depressed and iam not sure why. I have to stay focused on the battle I am fighting for my life. Sometimes I get lost in whats going on around me.

Sorry didn't mean to make the last post about me
I have read everyone posts

Monday Check In: Another good weekend for me. Nothing that was out of the ordinary just a nice, simple weekend. I made decent food choices and exercised. What else could I ask for? I did find a new treat. Trader Joe's Chocolate Banana Bites. I didn't think the price was bad and you can have 4 bites for 130 calories. It was a pleasant evening treat and the chocolate satisfied my sweet tooth. Love finding new foods and work them into my daily calorie intake. Life is good!!!!

I lost 20....80 to go! my goal is another 30 by Dec..

Lizmil- you may want to get a check up if you keep experience periods of dizziness. It could be caused by many different things but it is not something to just dismiss easily.

Protein Bars- I am not sure why they were sticky- I tended to keep mine in the fridge after the freezer I think. You could try adding some additional oats that might help dry them out. You can also search recipes for No Bake Protein Bars- that is where I found the recipe.

This weekend was okay but no change in my weight. This may be because I am getting up earlier and I know my weight changes if I sleep longer. Yes, I have weighed myself multiple times in the morning when sleeping late or getting up early to make a trip to the bathroom. It has dropped a couple of pounds in hours. I am always shocked at this development.

Tomorrow, will be a major challenge for me since I have a tentative agreement with my trainer. Yes, we are having issues again so this time. I finally told him I am tired of him his tirades about my lack of performance especially on stairs. He told me that I was quitting on him and not putting my best effort forth. So, tomorrow I am putting my money where my mouth is meaning I will work my butt off tomorrow to prove him wrong. This will either work well for me or leave me frustrated. I still hate the stairs and they will always be a major challenge for me especially those that are outside and uneven. I will be curious to see how this workout plays out- it could be the start of a good thing or bring a successful relationship to an end. I just don't plan to fail but rise to the challenge. Even through I am worried about what he will plan for me. He knows everything I hate to do including stairs and jumping- which he truly enjoys and that is one of his favorite tortures for me. He is doing his job so the challenge will go on.
Most of you know my history with this trainer so you know that I really do appreciate his support and workouts but every so often we have this difference of opinion.

It is scary that there was a school shooting in Baltimore County, MD. It was a high school. Only one person was shot and luckily a teacher was able to get the weapon away from the student. How he managed to get the gun in the school is a mystery to me. I hope we are not in for a year of school shootings.

Hi everyone! Went to starbucks to grade for few hours after school today, and just caught up on all of the posts. Trying to stick to my goal of only doing personals if I have something really unique to contribute. With that in mind, I'd like to give a general congrats to all of you who've had successes on the scale and off. I saw some really great losses and NSV's :drinker:

I'm even more proud of those of you who are struggling. It's easier to stick with it and come back day after day when you are seeing the scale go down and stresses are low in your life. The real challenge (that we've all experienced from time to time) is to stay the course even when things aren't going well. For all of you who are facing a rough road right now--I'm so proud of you for not giving up--you guys are superstars!! :flowerforyou:

Monday Check-in:
So far I've managed to balance grading and working out. I went to the gym last thurs. after school then took friday off. Saturday I focused on grading and then went out in the evening with friends. Sunday, I was back at the gym, and today I did more grading. If I can stick with this every other day schedule, I should do ok. Goal is to hit the gym again tomorrow--wish me luck.

Grading:
1. 48/48 AP quizzes--DONE!
2. x/58 Junior universal screeners for writing (I did some of these, but I'm not sure how many)
3. 24/24 Vocab quizzes--DONE!
4. x/24 Parts of speech pre-tests
5. x/49 "Columber" essays

Judy, exercise is difficult for me as well. When I started the first part of July I was could hardly walk. I have COPD, arthritis (especially in my hands, feet, left knee and hip, lower back and left shoulder), fibromyalgia, asthma, sleep apneia and high blood pressure. I started out walking for very short periods of time and have gradually increased the time. I have to walk with a walker and my oxygen but I am now up to being able to walk up to 40 minutes at a time. There are some days when I just cannot do it, but I praise God for every day that I can. It beats just sitting around waiting to die! The walking has also helped raise my spirits. By the way I noticed on your profile you're a adoptive mom and I have 2 adopted children although they are now 42 and 23. I also have 2 bio. adult children. Keep working on your food and try to do what you can physically and you will succeed!

@raven – brothers have a strange way of being supportive Mine just looks at me & says “well, it’s about time”. From him, that’s really high praise/support.

@vickimieth Touche', lol. Guess we'd worry bout 'em otherwise.

Brothers- can't live with 'em and can't kill 'em lol!
