Here is the new chart. Some of us did grea this week. I for one did not. It's back on the wagon for me. Amazing what a few days of eating with abandon will do! Lets keep at it and make this week a stellar one!

Wow!! Great job Blues! So many loses this week! Let's keep it up.
Chrissy- Congrats on your accomplishment. Do you have any plans to celebrate or rewards?
tttthumper- thanks for the info. I did some research on Ketosis and read that your body can't go into it if you eat more than100 g carbs. I plan to eat the 100g of carbs or maybe more because I don't want to go into ketosis, even if people say it's not harmful. I still have not found out what Jillian Michael's thinks about eating your exercise calories. I read through "Winning by losing" and am now reading "Making the cut" and she does not mention it at all. It's interesting to read here in MFP the science about eating back your exercise calories. I would also like to know what Jillian thinks since she's so popular.
Debnu- I got the greek yogurt and I love it!!! I put honey and blackstrap molasses in it and it's great!!0 -
OK, it's a new week. I know the challenge is over, but I think that we still need this. OK, team huddle . . . on three . . . GO BLUES!0

how do you like the book making the cut??0 -
I have been pretty good about counting calories and staying within my calories for the week however, I haven't been exercising because of me not feeling good. ugh. I have a doc. appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping things will start looking up.0

Aii... I joined awhile ago, then dropeed out when my scale broke and I fell off the wagon.
I'd like to join again. When are weigh-ins?0 -
Great job this week blues! Lets keep it going.
I am loving all the information about carbs and ketosis... keep us in the loop tttthumper and Almomay.0 -
Good morning everyone - Got my workout in after work yesterday, felt great. 750 calories burned.
I work dayshift this week, so will be working out when I get home.
I don't know much at all about ketosis, sorry can't contribute much about it.
Go Blues go.
What's the saying 5 more weeks of Winter or so? or you could say 150 days.
I like thinking it's only 3 paychecks away :laugh: :noway:0 -

Welcome again mfpfriend. You don't need a scale to contribue to the forums
In fact some of us probably have threatened to throw out our scale at one time or another.
Weigh-ins have been on Monday's.
Just remember the scale is not the only form of measurment of weight loss
Good luck.0 -
No big plans to celebrate - the old me would have pigged out - I splurged on 1 oreo!
I hope to get some Bose earbuds
but I want to be sure they'll stay in my ears when I am sweaty!:sick:
I am actually shooting for 100 now but I didn't change my goal since it's been my official goal all along - I'll just let my ticker keep moving!0 -
Go Chrissy Go!!!!
You can do it!!! Let's see that 100 mark.0 -
Chrissy you are amazing and inspiring to me. Keep up the great work!!:drinker:
I have not been feeling well at all--I have decided I have a major chest cold. I gave up on exercising today in hopes of feeling well enough to do it tomorrow. I tried out the podrunner podcast yesterday and really liked it--I might have overdone it a little, however.
Welcome back MFP friend... Just send your weight to me on Monday and I will get you in the chart.
Almomay, I am so glad that you like the greek yogurt. I have stopped buying sour cream and just use the plain instead now. I can't wait until all the yoplait I have is gone--I will never stray from greek again!
I was trying to find the minimum amount of carbs a person should eat--having the 100 number to avoid ketosis would be it I think. Thanks for sharing!
Take care everyone, I am going to go read a book and watch a movie while drink tons of water and emergen-C!

debnu-hope you feel better!
peter way to work hard-750 calories!!!!0 -
chrissyh - CONGRATS!!!0

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. We were finally able to get aout and about after all the snow here! I took my son to a movie and just enjoyed the day out.
Good job everyone.
It was so hard for me not to turn to all the comfort foods while being snowed in, but I guess shoveling compensates a lot for any temptations. I didn't gain, so that was good. Can't wait to get back to the gym today!0 -
Hi dawn, I will get you on the chart for next week. I hope that you stay safe and warm with all the snow about. I sometimes wish we had more we are in warming trends here and now I am starting to get spring fever!0

chrissyh- WTG on getting to your goal. I'm so very proud of you.
I have had some medical problems. I was in the ER today and they couldn't find anything wrong. I don't know what the hell is going on with me right now. I have gained about 10lbs back. :sad: All I want to do i sit and cry. I worked so hard and now I'm not at square one however can't believe it happened.

Hi Blues,
jg- Take care of yourself.
It seems like everyone is on point and motivated! Just finished another project for school and submitted it. I only have time to get in 20 minutes of the 30 day shred today. But something is something.
Take care all!!!!0 -

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well, and pray that you will be better soon. However, please remember: You are NOT at square one! Look at your ticker! Even if you haven't added the 10 lb. back in, you have still lost a lot of weight! I know that it is discouraging to gain some of the weight back (been there done that), but please don't lose sight of your goals and don't forget what you really have accomplished! You can do this! I noticed in an earlier post that you have a dr. appt. coming up, so hopefully, you will get some help there.
I am kind of in a funk today. I gave blood, which pleases me a lot. I hadn't been able to give for a while due to low iron, but with my new healthy lifestyle, I passed with flying colors. However, I am finding that it is zapping my energy tonight. And they told me not to go swimming tonight - didn't realize how much I would miss that. However, I am just rejoicing that I was able to help out some unknown someone somewhere with my blood again, and knowing that my day will dawn brightly again tomorrow. Speaking of which, I had better get to bed. Good night all!0 -
j_g4ever - I'm concerned about you... in the ER, Doctor's not sure, gained 10 lbs.... could be thyroid?? I don't know, but maybe worth some more doctor visits. Take care of yourself and listen to your body.
almomay - Great job getting your school work done. Always feels great to finish a project and submit it. And a 30 day shred workout is still a great workout. High five for fitting in some exercise!
msh0530 - I'm not surprised they told you not to swim after giving blood. Keep eating wholesome healthy foods and your body will be back to normal in no time!
I did level 3 of the 30 day shred this morning... and I am planning on a step aerobics class this evening. Keep movin' Blues!0 -
Wow! 52 lbs lost?! That's awesome! Please don't cry -- the body is a funny thing. It holds weight, it discards weight... Here's to hoping you start to find some positive momentum soon! Soon you'll kick off that 10 lbs, and even more.
As for me, I'm finally feeling really great about some forseable weight loss! Next Monday -- you just watch for it
That weight is coming down! Yesterday I had a really solid run. 45 minutes of some serious intervals: 3 min run, 3 min sprint, 3 min run, 3 min hill (5%), repeat. I don't usually feel 'worked out' from cardio, but this was a great feeling. Those interval peaks were tough! Today i woke up at 5:30 am to do a bit of circuit training. I'm definitely proud and feeling great!
I've made a little deal with myself: No hydrogenated oils, no processed sugar, only 1 coffee/day, and veggies w every meal. The reward is that I get to lose weight LOL.
Hope you're all well and feeling great! I'm enjoying the rest of the morning indoors where I can watch the snow fall; big, light, fluffy flakes and a healthy wind.. Beautiful!0 -
I am hoping to get in a decent workout today, this cold has really got me! I really hate not having a voice too--I think that is worse than the coughing. I had gained a pound at my weighin last night so I really am needing to get on the bandwagon!
j_g take care of yourself. Maybe we can help. If it is thyroid you would feel cold, tired, unable to think clearly and gain weight, when it is low. Is it something to do with your seizure medication? I am more concerned with how you are feeling than the weight gain. That is frustrating of course especially since you have been working so hard. Take care of yourself--don't beat yourself up you have been doing so much! Somethings we just don't have control over--its seems you need to find a way to get your body into balance.0 -
Thank you everyone for your concerns. I went in today and got a doctors note to get my thyroid checked with all the blood that they took from me yesterday. So I will call the clinic later today as we all know they are never very good at getting back to us. I have thyroid problems anyways so that was my first thought. With my seizures I just got a call from that doctor and I made an appointment with her on Friday to maybe switch some meds around there. I had a theropist appointment today and she made me feel so much better for sure. She helps so much. She is wondering if some of it doesn't have to do with my depression. So with the help of my doctors, friends and you guys whom are all AWESOME. I will get through this and get back on track soon. I don't know if exercise is on my list of things to do tonight or not maybe just a 1/2hr to start out again. I'm starting back really hard with counting calories. I'm giving up a bad habit that I have had for over a month with peanut butter and chocolate chips. I have always made sure they are within my calorie limits before eating it however, I'm going to give them up and just have it as a here or there thing.
Thank you again everyone I don't know what I would do without you guys.0 -
Just thought I would throw one thing out there.
I'm personally not on medication, but doesn't the amount of medication co-relate with how heavy someone is?
If you lose 50 lbs, isn't it possible you don't need as much medication, or not as strong etc?
Something to remind the doctor.0 -
hi all
jg- Definitely take care of yourself. Your health is more important than any weight loss program. Hope you feel better.
debnu- Hope you feel better. Stay hydrated and get in lots of vitamin c and wholesome nutrition.
Taradise- Awesome job on your workouts. Keep it up, you are doing great.
Kat- Wow, your workout sounds very exciting. Where did you do that? Outside?
msh- That's cool that you get to donate blood. I've never tried because of my past with anemia. I also have thin veins.
tthumper- What kind of workout are you doing now? You had mentioned p90x so I wanted to know if you were doing something specific.
My plan for today is to do Insanity Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs for a total of about 55 minutes. I plan to workout while my toddler naps. Now I'm off to do some readings for school.
To a wonderful day all!0 -
jg- Take care of yourself. you're health is the most important thing. Weight is only a part of us being healthy.
That said here's your kick in the butt at the same time....if you've gained 10 pounds can you honestly say you've followed your plan or have you strayed...one thing I can say is when I've gained a bit over the last year or so it's always related to not eating like I should. I've had 2 pound fluctuations morning after a long run or weight workout which I can always account to fluid but those pesky pounds from like over Christmas, etc...are all me not doing what I need to do. It's our choice to control ourselves when we feel good and when we feel bad....it's hard but to get where we want to be, we have no choice or we wouldn't be here - would we? I know you can do it - chalk it up as a lesson learned and get back at it. If you can't exercise, be even smarter on your food choices. Be sure your getting all the nutrition you need!
You can do it!!!!!!
Debnu-feel better
Almomay hope your reading was relaxing!
Mary-feels great to see that your health is improving doesn't it
Dawn--see above! We can do this!
kat-that's some dedication let us know how it goes!

Hey Almomay,
I'm doing EA Active for the Wii since Beg of February. There's a 30 day challenge which i'm doing at the hardest setting,(approx 30 mins) and I'm doing an extra 30 mins custom workout everyday - The custom workout I've got myself 17 exercises (2 mins or so each) from Basketball shooting/passing to volleyball serving/setting/bumping, to inline skating jumping, to baseball catch/throw, baseball swinging and some pitching, Boxing (targets and a heavy bag), some tennis forehand swings backhand swings, dancing, and for my cardio I have a medium run at the beginning and then 3 exercises at the end all running (jogging on the spot).
I'm up to 12 laps on the EA active which turns around to be about 9 mins of jogging on the spot with 10 secs of walking inbetween. Really get's my heart beating. I'm hoping that with this jogging on the spot, when nicer weather comes back and I go back outside, it'll help me jog farther.
It's ALOT OF FUN. I get my video game addiction and competitiveness in there while exercising.
I was doing P90x around the time I got into my car accident - August - Then when I was going to physio after a 4-6 weeks or so I started P90x. Then I got a sore back and was quite sore and , I wasn't sure if it was still from the accident, so I stayed away from P90x for a bit. I have realized since then that my hamstring was so dam tight (strained it or something), and the tight hamstrings were causing pain in my back.
Then came the holidays and did nothing. After the holidays I wanted to do something before getting back into P90x, ie the EA active.
I got both workouts on the hardest settings, and do a good burn.
In 2 weeks or so when the EA 30 day challenge is done, I will return and try to finish off my last 60 days for P90x just in time to go to florida for my wedding in May.0 -

Thank you Chrissy for your kick in the butt. I'm going to walk on the treadmill tonight just to get started. I also have a new plan that I made with my theropist that will make sure I don't sleep past a certain time anymore and the way i have it planned I will workout as much as possible right away in the morning. I got my results back from my thyroid test and everything is normal there. I'm already on meds for it so that means my meds are keeping on right on track. as far as the meds thing I'm actually going in on Friday to my doctor and I'm going to talk to her about this. I am on several meds however most of them are for my conversion disorder. If you are wondering what that is basically my body doesn't deal with stress and anxiety most bodies deal with it. Instead I go into what are pseudo seizures. I have been under some stress and some anxiety lately so we have to figure out the med thing. I made sure to make my appointment when my husband is off of work because I have been so shaky I don't and shouldn't be driving.
Thank you again everyone for you support it really means the world to me.0
