Thanks for keeping up the chart, katie. I would recommend changing my 218 at the end to 218.4 since I hadn't lost anything. This week is looking like a loss though. C'mon, body, cooperate!
Aaaaand look everybody, we lost a person together!0 -
Great Chart Katie! Sorry I forgot to update you - I'm going to try and get into a routine. I lost 2lbs this week so now 232

HOLY SMOKES look at that 200.4 lbs lost all together! WOO HOO that is awesome!!! Thanks for the chart Katie!
I have gotten at least a half hour in every day. I got to get out for a walk yesterday and it felt great!!!0 -
I did Wii BL workout yesterday, and did an hour & half at gym today. Hubby had today off so went to gym with me. I decided to repeat week 2 of C25K so he could run with me. This was the first time back running for him since he got sick right before the race.
Guess what-- I actually made it through the program today! It wasn't easy, but I did it. Well, almost. I walked the interval right before the cooldown, but that just allowed me a 5 min cool down. I went 2 miles in 32 mins. This means I've taken 15 mins off my 5k time! It also means I got past that stupid 16 min wall where I would normally poop out. The track isn't the most entertaining to look at, but I've noticed my best runs come from there and the road.
After that I went upstairs for a bike session, and did 10.6 miles in 30 mins, and finished up on elliptical by going just under a mile in 15 mins. In all, I burned over 700 cals. I hope this week is the week I move past 218 pounds, which I've been stuck at since Hale Freezes Over.0 -
Fantastic Trish! You rock!0

Trish- i'm tired just reading how hard you are working and how well you've been doing at pushing yourself further.
i did get to my 60 min of water aerobics today, but spent the rest of the day having fun.
we had 2 other couples over and had a sushi party.
and although i did spend 4 hours cooking and cleaning before they arrived, the rest of the day has been quite sendentary.
the hard part was keeping myself under control surrounded by food all afternoon.
sushi runs around 50 calories per piece (depending on size & ingredients), so i watched others having a plate full; but limited myself to only six pieces & one small glass of wine. sigh...
had fun with friends & though.
have a good week everyone. -katie0 -
Becca- i highly recommend the baked vegetarian chimichangas found on this site (just use the search)
excellent, and i have served them to guests too.
the other recipe:
Maple-balsamic glazed fish with spinach saute
1 lb fresh or frozen skinless fish fillets (like halibut, salmon, sea bass) (i like the ocean eclipse 4 oz frozen fish- sold in perfect individual servings size,no guessing, only $1 each - $4/ lb is a good price where i live)
3 Tbl maple syrup (i use sugar free)
1 Tbl balsamic vinegar
1 to 2 teas. dijon style mustard
1 recipe spinach saute
thaw fish, if frozen. Pre-heat broiler. rinse & pat dry fish.

Place fish on greased broiler pan rack. broil 4 inches from heat 8 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
Turning once halfway through cooking. brush with glaze last 2 to 3 minutes of broiling.
meanwhile prepare spinach saute, serve with fish. Makes 4 servings.

I made this for dinner tonight & it was wonderful! Everyone loved it! Thanks for the recipe Katie!0 -
nicole- i have to admit when i looked at last week's number 239.4, then you weighed later (i had 238) and your check-in this week 235.4, did not show the same amount lost you are reporting.:huh: please let me know if i need to fix this number for next week.
Katie- I believe you have it right, 22.6 lbs lost.... MFP just rounds up to 23 on the ticker, so I go with it:) If this is not the mix up you are asking about, please let me know! Thank you again for the chart, I love seeing it each week! Great Job everyone!0 -
Thaks for the chart!! After my horrible weigh in on Friday I weighed myself again on Monday and I'm back down to 253.4! So I'm hoping the increase was water weight and that by increasing my water it will stay away. I haven't been doing the exercise challenge because I've been having these spasms in my back. So I'm going to rest it the next couple of days and I'll try to start up the exercisin again at the end of the week.0

Hi there, if it's not too late I would like to be added to the list. I started my weight loss journey the beginning of this year, I started at 220 and am down to 203! I look forwar to participating in this group if possible
Jen0 -
certainly jen- just stay in touch here. we weigh-in on Fridays. (i try to get a weekly chart posted by Sunday evening)
we also are trying to do small weekly challenges that will help give us focus and motivation. last week was 64 oz of water/day, this week is 30 min exercise/day. we report our personal results when we weigh-in.
meanwhile everyone- this is just a heads up for those who are newer to mfp, but each thread is limited to 20 pages or 500 posts. once that maximum is reached the thread is locked and cannot be added to anymore.
so..... when we hit that point, and we certainly will; please, whoever is the first to try to get on afterward, start a new thread for us. use the title: "Eat Healthy; get fit; lose 100+" i think we can drop the "new group 1st weigh in Jan." we have certainly past that mark. but if the rest of the title is the same we can all find it under recent posts or search for it.
-katie0 -
ha- i didn't mean to scare folks from posting.
how's everyone doing? yesterday was a strength/weight day for me. couldn't go earlier in the day, so i got to the gym at the end of the work day. it was sooooo crowded, i got 30 min in on the bike, but did not get around all the weight machines. Oh well, at least i got a bit over the 30 min. minimum. today i was back in the pool for 60 min water aerobics. So, i am doing well. 45 min. saturday, 30 min. sunday, 60 min. monday.
and great water numbers, too. hope everyone is winning this week. -katie0 -
Trying really hard to get 120 oz of water or more daily. I have had at least 30 mins of exercise every day this week. Going for my C25K run as soon as DD goes down for nap.0

I could be wrong -- but I believe the thread locks and automatically sets up a new thread with a link that says "continued from this topic." I see it happen quite a bit and I really don't think someone is out there setting up those new threads exactly the same way every time within mere seconds of the old thread being locked (which is why I think it's a thing this forum automatically does). Again -- I could very well be wrong.
But you can certainly go ahead and start another thread with the name & new thread topic before you reach 500 posts. Then just post here & give us the link.

Yeah, just start a "Eat Healthy, Get Fit, Lose 100+ Group" for March! 0

Hey guys wow this week flew by Weigh in tomorrow
Is there a new challenge for next week? I love the challenges makes me start thinking more about what I'm doing!0 -
Any ideas of what our challenge will be for this coming week? No eating after 8pm? I'm loving the exercise. I have been walking almost everyday. 0
-
I could do no eating after 8:30. Taking meds right before bed doesn't count though, right?0
-
I like this challenge its a good one and will train me not to have the night time snack!!0
-
I haven't been successful at the first 2 challenges unfortunately, and I think it's going to show on the scale today because my eating has been a disaster too! I will keep trying though!0
-
My weight today was 238.7, lost some, not as much as i wanted and i did the exercise challange except for yesterday as i was not feeling really well and the energy level was pretty low.

I tried to join this blog a week or so ago and had my weigh in days messed up. I would love to join though and be a part of the "challenges". Thanks! Everyone have a good day and a good weekend!!!
Here is my weight loss thus far.
01/31/10 253
02/01/10 248
02/07/10 244
02/13/10 241.6
and today 02/19/10 240.50 -
I think the stuipd plateau is broken. I'm down 1.8# from last Friday to 215.0.
I won't participate in the no eating after 8pm challenge. I work 2 jobs some days and often don't get home until 10pm to eat dinner. My 2nd job involves a lot of driving, so the foods I could eat for dinner before 8pm while driving are generally not my idea of healthy. As you can see on my ticker, eating late apparently hasn't affected my weight loss progress at all so I'll keep doing what I've been doing & eat a snack while driving at work & eat dinner late (I normally have a relatively light dinner those days, though). 0 -
Happy Friday everyone got in at least 100 oz of water each day and exercised everyday for at least a hour except Wednesday had to stay home with the baby! So last week I was 239 and this week............................239 either I'm at a plateau, or realy pissed about the effort I'm putting in to see these results, but it's not a gain so I'm happy Better luck next week!!!! 0
-
Happy Friday to all! I missed last weeks weigh in as I was in Vegas at a hockey tournament with my oldest son!! We had a blast by the way. My weight this week is 229.6 for a loss of 1 lb!!! Not bad for 5 days of vacation.
I am in for the not eating after 8:30pm challenge. That will be good for me as I like my icecream at night!! No more snacking after dinner.
Have a great week all and good luck!!0 -
Down 0.2! LOL Sounds like we are all in the same boat this week... but at least it is not a gain! I actually gained 3 lbs last weekend after our last weigh in.... so to get rid of that in a week and still have a -0.2 makes me happy! I did terrible this week and did not log anything in my food or exercise diary:( So back on track this next week and back to the gym! Have a great weekend!0
-
Katie... 215.6
*roars* YEEEEESSSS!!! Finally
I may weigh in again tomorrow to see if I've got that other .2 oz off for a 3 lb loss for the week. Saturday seems to be my good day.
Keep up the good fight, ladies!
P.S. I worked out every day this week, at least 30 mins. Go me!0 -
The magic number on the scale today was 231.8 that is a 3 lbs lose for me this week. I'm very happy with that number since last week was .4 and I have lost 30 lbs in 55 days! I'm so happy for myself. :bigsmile:
The exercise challenge was great for me! I really enjoyed it. I got in 30 minutes or more every day.
Not eating after 8:30 works for me then I can still enjoy one last snack after the kids go to bed. But if it doesn't work for everyone we could pick something else.
Keep up the great work everyone! :drinker:0 -
So... I went the wrong direction on the scale. 4 pounds up to 277. I really don't think the 273 last week was right because my scale has been fluctuating so much. I don't even know if the 277 is correct but that is what I'm going to go with. I am going to try to get a new one soon. Either way, I expected to gain some because of my eating the past 2 weeks.
On a positive note, I took my measurements and have lost an inch in my waist and 2 inches in my hips since starting. Today so far I've had 40 oz of water, and I did water aerobics for an hour at the gym this morning. Time to get back on track!0 -
I look forward to getting motivation and support! I want to lose 134lbs!
My first goal is 17lbs. by Easter.0
