Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

I think I'm going to start 30 DS tonight. If I don't die you'll hear back from me tomorrow.

You won't die, but you might have to learn to pee standing up. Tomorrow afternoon you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. :devil:

Hi. I'm new. I have too much weight to lose but I'd be happy with 100. Way happy. I'm Stacey.

Monday - Check In - I'm ok. The weekend didn't kill me. Trying to stay motivated. I recently gained 6 pounds back of the weight I had lost and that was really frustrating but Im attacking it again. I think I'm going to start 30 DS tonight. If I don't die you'll hear back from me tomorrow.

if we don't hear from you by then we should call the authorities?

Ok Sorry I was not here at all the last week. We were working on a huge project last week. When I say we I mean I did all the shipping and scanning serials and taping and packing and some of the programming for the 600 tablets we had to get out. I am glad to say the last 103 will go out today once I scan the serial numbers and pack the last box of 30. I stayed late everyday last week. It was a long and stressful week and I am so happy that it is over. By the time I got home each day I just wanted to pass out. I am glad to be back and I will try to catch up on posts. I hope every one is doing well!

Have a good day!

Ok, I either need encouragement or a reality check guys. The aquatic club is having a 5K fundraiser on Thanksgiving Day this year. They don't call it a Run walk, just a 5K run.

There's no way I'll be able to run it, but do you think there will be others there WALKING or am I gonna look like a fat fool out there shuffling to the finish line behind all the runners?

Great idea, Robin. I don't know why I didn't think to just email the coordinator. I've just sent her a message and I'll get signed up tomorrow. Everyone who signs up by the end of the month gets a T Shirt and I'll want one from my first .,........anything.

Dinner is over and I still 284 calories to reach goal. I probably need to find something else to eat.

Monday Check In:

Today was an awesome day. My students managed to survive multiplying decimals and multiplying and dividing to the powers of ten. Let's hope that tomorrow when we review and do some in class practice, that they remember it.

The day was really good today. I got home and have literally been sitting at my kitchen table since 5pm working on grades. It is now almost 9pm. I'm calling it a night. I updated everyone's average and I only have right around 2 or 3 sets left to grade. I'll get on that tomorrow.

I was going to do an evening jog, but obviously grading took the place of that. I'll make it up Thursday morning. I'm planning on running tomorrow morning too. My next "off" day from running is looking like it's going to be Saturday, but that's okay. My stamina is building and so is my speed. It's so exciting to see the difference from when I started to now!

Hope everyone had a great day! I'll check in later!

Hello Everyone,

@Christine-- Glad to hear you are feeling better today.

This weekend went great way to much rehash its in my past posts this weekend. But fun at 5the Five K . walking a lot thanks to that and Miss Bella. Food went ol stay under and the scale work in the direction I was hoping.

Today went ol went to my cpr/1st aide class for my renewal. Other than that pretty causal getting things ready for the rest of the week.,

Really tired heading to bed early.

Good night everyone,

Liz

we found out that my husband's san antonio orders have been cancelled and moved to may. i still have to move in december but it won't be out of state. i'm a little annoyed but i guess it's better for the kids this way not to have to move to texas in the middle of the school year.

In the spirit of our September Challenge to recommit, I give you the following quote:

“It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”.- Muhammad Ali.

Also, as they always say on the biggest loser, " Do the steps, trust the process, and you will see the results."

LOVE it!

Soooooo behind! First a few personals:

Robin, congrats on the good medical news!

MNwalkingqueen, congrats on the house!

Toots, did the blood work come back? Also, be aware that not every palpitation is A-fib. A-flutter looks different than a-fib but is very easy to see on an EKG, so that's not it, either. My husband has occasional "extra" beats (acronym is PVC, for Premature Ventricular Complex) that come and go. He doesn't notice them, but I do.

Vicki, hope the insurance company is speedy and helpful and that you and yours feel better.

Nicole, you seem almost giddy these days. Good for you, you deserve it!

Kris, congrats on reaching the 100 pound mark! Also, props on the stamina in the pool!!

Tina, glad you're back on the wagon.

Robin, I am totally in on the carb-counting and measuring challenge for October. I confess that I actually do better when the group has similar goals than when I'm just setting my own. And keeping my carbs down is a huge factor in keeping cravings under control.

Chris, glad you feel better, and great effort walking at the zoo! You'll appreciate this: had frozen custard yesterday. In Oregon! New place opened up about 25 minutes away. It was good, so I'm really glad it isn't closer!

My Monday check in is that I had a pretty crap week as far as food choices went. Over calories several days. Only green yesterday because I think that playing at a water park for 6 hours probably burned a few calories. Very few crowds this time of year (wonder what it'll be like in December? It's indoors....), so climbed 8 or so flights of stairs, carrying a 2-person inner tube, several times without having to pause much. Also did Zumba again today and it did not kick my butt as much as it did last week.

I am not confident that I'll make my goal of a size 16 gown for the NAMI benefit dinner I'm attending in 2 weeks. We'll see!

Okay, it's late and I'm sleepy. G'night, all!

Tuesday goal: Increase water to 8 glasses. I've only been getting 4-6. I think that will help me in my overall goal of losing as much as possible before surgery.

Tuesday Goal::: To focus this week on getting back at logging everything everyday and staying at or under my calorie goal daily.
Yesterday was a huge success and I even stayed under on my sodium!!!! That's a big thing for me!

Hopefully can catch up to everyone later, works been a bit hectic.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
Tina

I haven't heard back. it will probably take a week or two. i think they are banking on something unusual just because of the sheer number. it's at least twice a day. sometimes as much as 20 or 30 times a day. they did a very involved EKG. i've had them before but not like that one. they even had sensors on my ankles. it was kind of crazy. anyway, yeah, i haven't heard back yet, so i guess we'll see.
