    Yeah me, I finally broke the 200 lbs mark.

    Starting Weight - Dec 1 - 215
    Current Weight - 199.5

    Trying to lose 9.5 lbs by the end of the month.

    Also, just had to let everyone know. I found sugar free tropical pops in the freezer the other day. OMG. I hate sugar free stuff because of the aftertaste. but this had none. Tasted like it was made with juice and only 15 calories. Perfect end to the evening.

    Did Cardio Monday - friday.
    Water was 4 out of the 7 days
    Was about 1/2 on under calories.


    Congratulations getting under that 200 mark...Its feels so good when the scale moves on done:drinker:

    ok, backing out of todays workout. my thighs are just too sore. i woke with every move last night. it hurts just to stand and sit. going to the bathroom is a real nightmare.
    pedal....you did training. what can i do to help with the pain? i mean it hurts. i have tried walking around to keep the muscle loose, but, it just hurts too bad.

    going to go rest, i am tired now today, cause hardly any sleep last night. take some more aspirin.

    later

    Good morning!

    I measured myself this morning just like I did on Jan. 3rd. and Feb. 1st. My measurements were the same both days, but today, my waist was the same, but I've lost half an inch in my hips! It's not much, but it's in the right direction! I was sure I had lost a little in my waist because my pants are fitting just a bit better. Not much, but better.

    I took my daughter in for her 6 year check-up (:noway: still hard to believe!) We've been referred to an audiologist. She failed their hearing test. She failed it almost a year ago on a sick follow-up visit after a bad ear infection. Her ear drums had ruptured twice. We were referred then too, but they said that soon after the ear infection, it could be a temporary loss and she could be fine after her ear drums completely heal. She seemed to be hearing just fine this summer, but since school started we've noticed she's not hearing as well as she should be. It's not bad, and it's not affecting her school work, but at this point, it's time to get it checked.

    It's a beautiful day today even if it is cold, so my plan is to walk from home to pick up the kids from school today. :smile:

    Cathy, sometimes it's just necessary to take a bit of extra time. You should go for a gentle walk and stretch to help move the massive amount of lactic acid!

    Amyls, yes, BACK ON THE HORSE today. I can hardly believe the crap I ate yesterday. And so much of it! Ah well..

    Amypyr, you're right - it's a step in the right direction!

    Well, I need to figure out some exercise to do. Bummed knee, possibly broken foot, bummed wrists... this is getting ridiculous! I have one fully functional limb right now! :grumble: But I think I'll do some weights and stationary boxing today to get in a bit of cardio. That's the plan anyway! Have a great one Sixers!

    pedal...what happened to your foot? the trainer emailed me and said to come in and he would show me some exercises to do to put pressure on the sore spots. i did the workout at my pace. i have never had so much pain from working out before. he also wants 3 days food to look at. he has education in all the area of fitness. this should be interesting in what he finds. he's into the zone diet. he changes it around to fit your life style.

    hope you feel better soon.

    Good morning Sixers! I made my little goals yesterday! My eating wasn't great yesterday, but it wasn't too bad either. For the next week or so I'm going to concentrate on increasing my water intake and my exercise level instead of food. I'm not going to allow myself to eat just anything, but I'm not going to worry about my calories as much. I have noticed a trend over the 9 months I've been here that I do better (and feel better) when exercising and getting enough water.

    Rhiannon, Cathy, & Tiff - How are you feeling today after your injuries/sore muscles?

    Amy(pdx) - How is the new job going?

    More personals later. Gotta get back to work!

    Good mornings Sixer Sistas:laugh:

    I new to this group & was wondering when do you all weight in?

    I'm having a very challenging week due to Valentines on Sunday, Hubby's birthday was on Tuesday & Son's birthday is today Hmmmm. Fortunately I've learned from MFP & my long departed Grandmother that it's "the too much" that makes you fat.

    It's my youngest childs birthday today, he's 18 years old & has a mind set to look good & be healthy. He does NOT want birthday cake...I'm like What???:noway: I was wanting his cake sooo it's his special day so no cake. We are however going out to dinner this time to Bennihanna's where they cook Japanese food in front of you as a group so that should be a lot of fun.

    Gotta get back to work...hope all is well

    Have an Awesome Day Sixers,

    know....avoid the rice. if you can't just ask for 1/4 of it. that's the worst. also i ask for extra veggies. i like the veggies.

    ooooOOOooO I just LOVE the rice... and too be honest that's what I ate for lunch today! lol but I can't go back because they were rude to me for no reason, though I eat there all the time. lol. Maybe that's a sign from the Almighty. lol

    I worked out hard on Wednesday even left the hospital to run to the gym to run 4 miles! go me! then only got 4 hours sleep because I was on call and made me too tired to study and work out on Thursday, twisted my ankle doing a dance routine... so that sucks. Now I'm hoping the ankle will be good for tonight so I can work out! oh well... also, I have dedided I am going to give up fried foods for lent. That way I can still have my french fries... they will just have to be baked/

    Oh Tiff you make me laugh! Thanks for that and I'm glad the healing is on!
    As I have said to my friends and DH family members for lent is to give up 'giving up' then you will never have to feel ashamed or guilty when you stumble or fail! LOL Just a suggestion but your idea is a great one!!
    I hopped on the hotel dreadmill and ran 4 miles this morning!
    Have a great weekend all!

    Ok... I read all the week five comments! Roll call!

    Amy S- Good job staying under your caloric goal while being away! :) Keep up the good work!

    B!- I like the name! How did your week go? Any new fitness classes?

    Cathy- I really like how interested your trainer is in helping you in all aspects. Glad your legs are feeling better. Soreness means something is working right! LOL

    Emmie- Start back slowly! I missed seeing you around. Glad you are back, get well!

    Alison- I like the new picture.... and slow and steady is the best way to remove weight. Keep up the good work. How's the cooking going lately?? I know you love to do it

    Lulabelle- It's ok to have a few bad choices, just LEARN from them. You are definitely going to focus ... keep working at it.

    Lauryn- I hope your trip to Blackburg is for FUN! I'm not sure how far that is from me but if not this time then definitely when I'm closer to you AND Tiff is coming too. YAY, it would be like a mini group meeting! :)

    Tiff- I see you getting your fitness in no matter what. Keep it up girlie! And yes you can come with me... SILLY

    Kristin- Kadence is growing so well. See looks sooooooo cute. Congrats on all the weight you removed. Keep it up!

    Rhiannon- So tell me about some of the delicious meals you are making. I hope you can enjoy some of the Olympic events. :)

    Pam- Congrats on entering Onederland! YAY

    AmyPyr- good job on the measurements.... I need to do that too. Keep up the great work!

    Well as for me:

    I'm just relaxing and enjoying it way tooooo much. Having a mini It's my birthday month shopping spree. I finally have heat again in my house so that makes me feel better. I currently have alot of things to do before I move but I'm taking it one step at a time.... but on Monday I'm going to Danville to look for places to live. Its a 4 hr drive for me. I just want to have an idea of my options since April is getting closer and closer.

    Today is my rest day for fitness but I spent Mon-Thurs doing classes at the gym. YAY I'm going tomorrow for a few classes too. Gotta get it in while I have this membership. When I go out of town I'm gonna look at the gym options too. :)

    Take care ladies,

    Tamm

    Verda- I HATE treadmills and I often call them the same thing. If that was the only gym machine I would be HUGE AGAIN. They just bore me to death. Good job on working out anyway! Keep working it out!

    Good morning everyone... Week has been so hectic! I have been working out again and the heel pain is coming back. OUCH!! Plan on calling the doc next week to see what else i can do. I don't want to stay off of it for 2 mnths again. I actually miss running. Well i will check back in later. Need some breakfast and coffee!
    Tamm - agree on the treadmill but the weather has been so strange in STL this past year. Very rainy last summer and we have had the coldest winter that i can remember. My gas bill shows it as well!
