Good almost weekend all you lovely ladies. I am sorry that your poor daughter is having such a bad time with allergys Losingit4good. Nitag great job on the 3 pound loss, Ewill12 welcome to the group and Kstefenski hang in there because I think you and I have hit the same wall :grumble: But dont undo all the hard work you have put into it already. I keep getting stuck but what the heck better stuck than gaining.

Guidosgal-SW224 CW184 GW have not decided yet. (stuck stuck stuck) :sad:

I say that I have not decided on a goal yet because I keep changing my mind I first thought that I would shoot for 174 then figured on 164 then changed it to 155. and now that I am stuck I think that maybe I just need to matain this weight. Who knows I guess when I get there I will know.

Cindy I need your number to call you. I need a HUGE swift kick in the you know what!!! I have bad back pain since Jan 4th. Over Dec 31-Jan3 I was on my laptop for hours and hours playing while my son was sleeping beside me recovering from surgery. Well on Jan 4th I woke up with my shoulders hurting me and the bottom of my neck/top of my back hurting from my head lookng down at the laptop. It has hurt me since. Daily I am in so much pain. I think with the fibromyalgia it is taking longer to heal. Finally a week ago I started going to the chiropractor to try to help. It helps a little for a day then back to the same crap. Soooo needles to say I am feeling sorry for myself and not doing anything but sitting on my fat butt with a heating pad and boredom eating. I've gained weight, I can feel it , I've not been weighing cause I don't wanna cry. I haven't been on here in almost 2 weeks. I've read all the posts and the new gals seem great. I liked the upbeat Alicia and hope to see her more.

Nita I totally understand your loneliness. When I first left my husband I was a mess because I was still in love with him and didn't want the divorce, I just wanted him to know I meant business that things had to change. I couldn't eat or sleep, everything I ate made my stomach hurt. I had 4 kids at home and should have never been that lonely but I was lonely as hell. It does take time to get used to it but you have goals to look forward to. At least you KNOW you get to see him and be back with him, so switch your thinking from "I am lonely and I am mising him" to " WOW i get to go see him for Valentines Day and we will have wild animal nookie and get to go places and see new things" You've already started thinking that way with getting your nails done and hair done. Do a count down to your trip to see hm so that each day you will get more and more excited at how close it is getting instead of how sad you are that he is gone. Your hubby is probably as miserable as you are that that is why he is moody, so if you can be upbeat and planning ahead about seeing him, instead of being sad and telling him how much you miss him while on the phone it might help out his mood. I bet he is missing you and worried about how you are doing and if you can show him you are ok and looking forward to seeing him with being upbeat it will releive some pressure off him.

Manda good luck with your writing. What kind of books are you writting? You will have to let us know the titles so we can buy them when they are published and help you make money LOL

Kelly, (pawprint) Yes you have been quiet, are you doing ok? Anything you want to talk about. I'd love to chat with you on facebook if you need to talk. You know I am on there alot. I had to live with my in laws for 8 months with 2 kids and it was hard as hell so I know some of what you are going through and I'd love to talk with you and try to help. HUGS


Adopt, Your life is so darn busy!! An exchange student too are you crazy??? Where is the student from? You might not get to the gym but I bet you get lots of excercise running after those boys all day. Don' beat yourself up. Take the kids for a walk...you'll wear them out and get some excercise too.

I feel like MFP has brought me a lot of new friends and I love you all. I wish we all lived close enough to have a girls day out once a month!! Hopefully I can get my butt in gear too. I truely want to lose the weight but I don't keep it forfront in my brain so I get to the end of the day and say OH MAN I forgot to check in and to log my food and I have blown it...maybe tomorrow but tomorrow has never come. I'll keep trying.

Experincing a lot of anxiety ect.. Can't sleep.. Its been horrible.. Cyndi I guess I should take you up on your offer .. Send me your number....

HI Mike and good luck on your journey. Congrats on the new baby too!!

Nita I'll give you my number too if you need to talk.

I bought one of those Shake Weights they advertise on TV this weekend hoping to strengthen my upper back and arms so hopefully this dang pain will go away in my shoulders. I've used it twice and I like it. It's only a 6 minute workout but that is good enough for me right now. My arm really can feel it burn while you are shaking it. Maybe a I get stronger I can do the workout twice!! LOL. I logged my food on Saturday but not Sunday. Gonna go do that now for today.

Looks like everyone is dong a great job. NIta you better not waste away on us. You need to lose weight the right way and not by starving yourself. I know you're not doing it on purpose but maybe you need to get a good protein drink or meal replacement drink to help you through this time.

Have a great week all!!

Deb

Well, lets see

Starting Weight - Dec 1 was 215
Current Weight - 203 lbs

I believe that i am up from last week weigh in. Not enough exercise last week, not enough water, no idea on my calories. hubby was sick and i was taking care of him 24/7 for days. I do literally mean 24/7. he had to be given a pill every hour on the hour - alternating ones. very confusing. he had very severe virtigio and it is still not gone but does not require constant watching.

Bought the EA Active game for Wii. Absolutely love it. i am so sore from the work outs but i can definitely feel a difference. I enjoy that it is constant moving from one exercise to another. I also love that it gives you calories burned. lots of different exercised daily. AI have only done medium and low intensity so far.

Monday -
Walk away the pounds dvd - 2 miles
EA Active medium intensity - 1 hour
Ea active low intensity - 30 minutes

completed water.
Over calories

Tuesday
Walk away the pounds dvd - 1 mile
Ea Active medium intenstiy - 1 hour

Working on water - 3 done already
watching calories today

Hi everyone, I would like to join this group too! I am 38 years old, and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 2 weeks ago. Since then I have done a complete overhaul on my diet and activity levels. Done a lot of research on the glycemic index, and it seems to be working, I have lost 19 pounds since Jan.9. Good luck everyone on becoming more healthy!

Hi all,
Welcome trachnurse:)
I haven't been on in awhile, it's been crazy busy here. My daughter turned 16 last weekend and I am having a harder time with that than I thought I would be..... I lost5.2lbs for the month of January even after having birthday cake!!!

Off to do strength training:) Hope everyone is having a GREAT day!!!



SW 232, GW 140, CW 206= -5.2!!!

Hey,

Here we go:

SW198, GW 130,CW 165= no change, 2 in loss on hips

Off to work I go!

Well, I am not happy because i gained. I am now at 204 lbs today. still down from the dec 1 weigh in of 215 lbs. was not able to exercise for a week due to taking care of hubby and then overdueing it on th ea active. I was able to exercise again today. I did the ea active on low intensity. still can feel it. then did 1 mile of the 5 mile burning the pounds dvd with the 2 minute boost and then 1/2 mile of walk away the pounds for abs. I think this really stretched the muscle afterwards because I can feel them but no pain. very happy about that.

Hopefully we will get the blizzard and all i have to do is stay home and work out. Yeah!!.

Sorry Total 1 pound lost

Blech. I am STUCK. Actually, I can't say that. I'm moving, just in the wrong direction. I keep gaining weight, and I'm almost back in the 160s, which would make me super depressed. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I eat all of my calories, including my exercise calories, and I'm exercising 6 or 7 days a week doing cardio, no strength training so I know it's not muscle being built up. I'm not eating anything bad, I only eat whole wheat breads and crackers, and I'm always under carbs anyway. I don't eat a lot of sugar, the most is a cup of hot chocolate every now and then, and even that is no sugar added. I eat breakfast, too, and no fast food at all. I feel like I'm doing everything right but I'm not losing.:grumble:

That being said:
SW: 200, GW: 135, CW: 159.6 - 1 lb gain
