    1/21/10- woke up feeling very poorly. slept badly and gained 1/2 lbs. YUCK!!!

    However, made the best of it - took sudafed triple action. Felt much better.

    Drank all my water
    Stayed within calories
    exercised for 1 hour this evening.

    Now off to bed.

    Whoo! The boards are flying! I didn't get my workout in today because it was 40 degrees (which is cold to me) and raining. It's supposed to stop raining tomorrow though. I decided cold OR rain was okay, but not both.

    Also, I feel like TOM is coming, and that's obviously never fun.

    I really want to hit 20 lbs this week. I'm sick of being so close and then life getting in the way of my goals. Still better than the alternative of not being alive though. :tongue:

    I'm ready for a successful day tomorrow, and I hope everyone else is too!

    So I promise to make this post short, the last couple have been monstrous! I am having a problem getting all my water in, Which has never been a problem until the last two days! Before now I have always drank like a fish! (and I only drink water, I hate any drinks with carbonation, I dont like bubbles tickling me... but it seems like now that I am trying to consciously count my glasses I dont drink as much! :(

    Tamm- WOAH! Your a force to be reckoned with! Will deff. have to model after you with your work outs!

    Kel - Love the new picture! and CONGRATS ON BEING 1/2 WAY!!! I think you are going to get a massive pay out for sticking with it!

    PDX- CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW JOB!!! Sounds like a good one too! Get your butt on track so you can get into 14s! I have the same goal, so Lets Get into those 14s in the next 2.5 weeks!!!!!!!

    Amy s- WE do have soo much in common! It is crazy! We are going to own C25K! We will make it our Bit**!!!!! haha I have a feeling that next week, and the weeks following we will deffinently get the pay off we want if we keep up this motivation and support!!! So lets do it!!!

    Good Night Sixers! Hope everyone has a great Friday and Weekend!!!

    So, feeling blah this morning, so I'm posting just to get support (selfish me :blushing: ) Can't stop the need to want to eat every piece of junk I can find. My kids' junk box is now empty. Hubby hasn't been able to go to the store yet and he has the money this week. I either feel like eating nothing or eating everything. No win. Complain, complain, complain. I feel like I'm one straw away from snapping completely this way. I knew it was bad when my son was a having a negative moment and then informed me that it seems to be going around as I wasn't in a good mood either. I really thought I was faking it good, but apparently his 7 year old eyes know me better than I think. asklfjasldfjsdklfjasl;fjaskldjfasdkl;fj

    Sorry guys. You are my girls. If I can't complain to you, who can I complain to, right? I'll just be glad when my period starts so that it can end. Supposed to be yesterday, but no go. The sooner it starts, the sooner the pain gets intense, the sooner it will be over. And then the bloating, agitation, exhaustion will go away?

    Anyways, thanks for reading and listening. You are all so awesome! Where would I be without you (probably in bed with a hug jar of peanut butter with raising bread).

    Good morning ladies!

    WOW...I am gone for a few days and feel like I'm outta the loop!:grumble: I can't even begin to get caught up on personals, but I do want to say AMY...CONGRATS on the JOB!!!!!

    Me...I've eaten terrible the past two days. We had a learning institute at work and they provided meals. Lasagna on Wednesday, Chicken with scalloped potatos yesterday. Oh...and the sweets! Yesterday I had a brownie AND a lemon square and felt sick the whole rest of the day! Plus didn't get enough water in either day, which contributed to the icky feeling! BLAH! Ready to get back to normal today! So...I have my meals planned out for today and going to try and get a 30 minute run in this evening! Hoping to get my body feeling better again!

    Kadence is going through another growth spurt, I think. She has been waking up every night now this week around 1 or 2 and wanting to eat. So, I have been feeding her and getting her back to bed. But we were so spoiled with her sleeping so well at night, that now having to get up is exhausting me! I feel drained every day at work! I'm hoping I either get used to it, or she goes back to sleeping through the night!

    ANYways...I should probably get started on some work! I'll check back again later! Have a good morning!

Keep up the great work ladies... one day at a time... we can do this... I bet we will all post a loss Tuesday!!!!

    I had a minute to do some personals if I didn’t get you this time I will soon!

    Kristin. OMG Kadence is so CUTE… I haven’t been on here in awhile, so I just had to get that out there. Congrats to you guys. Good for you, getting back on track after two bad days (I tend to stay off track once I fall off, clearly why I need you ladies to help keep me motivated!!!)

    Amyls – WOW… Congrats on a GREAT am workout, I hope to regain the motivation to get up and do it before work, by the time I get home I am so tired I lose motivation. You have strength girl!!! True strength!!!

    Chipper – I am way out of the loop, but I think the lawyer appt. has something to do with the house (I may be off base here) … but good luck! PS. I LOVE the idea of bagging all your snacks in serving size amounts… that would help me avoid many overages… hahaha. Keep up the amazing work!

    Tiff – It seems like you are just a motivated as before, good luck… I know you can drop the 10lbs!

    Lorna – I feel blah this morning too… Went WAY over my calories last night and feel horrible right now… but hey, we are here right? We are trying, which is much better than doing nothing about it! Take it one meal at a time, heck, one snack at a time… You CAN DO THIS!!!!

    B – Hey girl!!! I hate, HATE, hate water but I found this spiffy water bottle and I know I have to fill it up 3 times during the day to get my water in… now that I have stopped counting the glasses I seems to power through my water like a champ… hahaha… anyways if I can do it I know you can, grab a water bottle and keep it with you 24-7… drink up!!!
    Alison – Congrats 19 lbs lost!!! I can’t wait to get to 1 lb… Stay strong this week, even through TOM, and you will hit the 20 mark next weigh in!!!

    Pam – Good for you, that is how to kick the bad feelings to the curb… congrats on a great day!!!

    Pdx – Shopping! 14 here you come!!! That is a great tool for motivation… YOU can do it!!!

    Okay I wish I had time for more, but I need to get back to work! Keep up the great work ladies! Em :flowerforyou:

    WOAHHH Ladies! GREAT JOB UPDATING THE BOARDS!!! They are REALLY moving this week! this is great! IF we continuously motivate each other like this we will all post Losses on Tuesday!!!! [I keep weighing myself hoping to see that I am under 210 and so far nothing :( But I know that I am doing great things to my body so I just have to be patient!]

    Well I have a bit of work I need to get done today, but I will be sure to check in and do personals after that! God I work from 10-6, then 6:30-2am babysitting, today is going to be a very long day, It is days like today that I usually over eat, so Sixers Help me NOT over eat today!

    Wow. These boards are active! So happy to see everyone posting like this. It is motivating for sure!

    Today I am going out to purchase a pair of shoes I have had my eyes on for some time. They are dressier so I passed on them but now that I have a JOB I will need them and can justify the purchase!!!

    I am also going to get a walk or workout in today. I must. I feel so sluggish....not tired but in the intestinal track if you know what I mean (maybe TMI but you ladies are "no limits"! ) I always feel better when I get moving. So many benefits to working out, just dont understand why it is so hard to get my butt in gear?!

    Have a wonderful day ladies!

    Today is my usual weigh in day. I've been at this for 2 weeks and I've been doing really well. I lost 3 pounds last week and then I got on the scale this morning and gained all of it back PLUS some. How? I'm extremely disappointed and I spent the morning crying. I can't figure out the problem. Maybe I'm just meant to be fat. I'm hoping that my impending TOM and the fact that I haven't had a "normal" bathroom schedule since starting is the reason for this. I just don't get it.

    It's not all or nothing. If you had a good friend who lost 3 lbs and then gained it back but was pre-TOM, would you tell her to just give it all up and go drown her sorrows in a box of donuts? Of course not! You would say - hang in there, it's okay. Keep tracking your food and exercising, and you will see results.

    I really don't know anyone who has had a loss every single week of their weight loss journey. It's taken me almost 3 months to get the past 10 lbs off. But I know if I give up now, by summer, I will be 245 again, and by Christmas I will be 260 or 270 and that will be my new highest ever. And then next January, I will come back on MFP just shy of 300 lbs and say "wow, look at all those people I used to talk to -- now they're at their goal weight, or so close, and I've just gained more weight and I'm sad and miserable."

    It will be okay, and the weight will come back off.

    Melanie, hang in there babe! Our bodies are crazy things! You are in a new routine and your body needs time to adjust. You could be down that 3 pounds tomorrow. Your muscles could be retaining water due to the extra fatigue from working out. It could be your time. I can put on 3 to 4 pounds the week before but then it comes off. Drink some extra water, keep up your routine and make sure you are eating enough to fuel your body. If you under feed it while doing regular exercise it will go into starvation mode.

    Hand in there!
