I weighed in at 215.2 this morning. I was a little shocked that I lost anything. I've felt a little out of control lately. I've lost my motivation for everything, not just for losing weight. I guess I should take a little comfort that even when I'm out of control, I eat better than I did a year ago. I'm snapping myself out of this right now. Tuesday was the 1 year anniversary of when I started losing weight. I've come so far and I'm not ready to give up yet. I know this is the 3rd time I'm saying it, but this time I really am refocusing. I got my butt out of bed this morning and to do 20 min of yoga. I'm going home after work and trying the Gold's Gym Cardio for the Wii that I bought months ago and only used once. I just joined the skinny saturday challenge to help me stay on track tomorrow so I don't blow the weekend. I can do this!!!0

morning gang! TGIF!!
I am down 4.8, 187.6 this am. NOW, to just stay in this mindset and keep on striving for what I want. Am off to the city today, so will check in again later.
Crystal, congrats! I know exactly how you are feeling. I passed my MFP yr back in Jan. Was "off" at the time..but in that 'funk' that seems to appear out of no where. What helped me was getting on here and just trying to remember WHY I want to to this. I think you are doing amazing and look, you have kept off what you lost last yr. The hardest part is change, but with our determination, I know we will get to that happy wt. Keep pushing and stay focused! I am proud of YOU!! Believe in yourself! You WILL do this! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good Morning Pepper's,
:drinker: to all the loser's today. My weight was 196 so no loss but no gain. I will have to do my shred at least 3 times a week to loose the pound. I will get there. Had a couple of bad days this week. At least I am not gaining.
Well back to work. Have a great day. :bigsmile:0 -
I am at 214.2 pounds today, which is about where I was last week. I am very happy:happy: with that especially since I have NOT been going to the gym 2 times a day 4-5 days a week like I have been for awhile. I am still trying to get my junk room cleaned out and have had the radio on instead of the TV. I never realized how having the TV on makes me want to sit & eat. I think I am better off listening to the radio especially since when I hear my favorite songs I stop what I am doing and dance along. I feel like I am getting things done yet with a little exercise at the same time. I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day! 0

Hello all! Well the scale read 203 this morning, I can't tell you how hard it has been for me to try to get out of these darn 200's:(
One day soo I hope! that will be a milestone! I havn't been under 200 since 2001 WOW
Cleaning out the garage lately and came across some not so old pictures taht I was not very happy with, and the other thing about them was that they were framed!!?!?! Like I had enjoyed them so much I pu it up for everyone to see:( Not happy!
Anyhow I am gonna show you one! It is totally a motivation one for me!
Ate chicken lastnight:( Long story, but I didnt have much of it. I still feel bad about it......going to the gym today
Angie~ i just had a moment while reading your post:) thought about baby in the belly and dancing around! what a great feeling! I miss those moments!
So glad taht you are right on track!
Crystal~Tell me how the gold's gym thing works out I read some reviews on it and it is supposed to be one of the best ones for you out there! WAY to go with you year mark! a good feeling it is!
Sindy~You are a busy busy lady!
Lynette~Hope that you keep feeling good throughout this weekend!
KElly~ Have fun in the city! do some shopping for me!0 -
Hi everyone!
Well, it seems my hubby got cabin fever.... he offered to take me to the diner a few miles from our house after he shoveled driveway & sidewalks. I'm no fool - I jumped at the chance to go out! It's still snowing.... our development is still snow covered roads. The highway outside our development is wet, a little slushy in spots. This diner is 3 miles from our house.
At the diner, I ate the whole damn thing -- 2 eggs, sausage, home fries, 2 slice toast, tea, pineapple juice.
So you can see I won't be logging food in today. My hope is we'll skip lunch since it was a late breakfast and we'll have a dinner.
Miss V - I know the feeling about the photos. I look at my August 2009 photos (profile pic) and think what? Didn't help when my girlfriend who I was visitiing is all but 100lbs soaking wet. And because I'm American (she's not ) she kept offering me more food. I had a hard time saying no thank you. Now, since my German is really poor, I just accepted whatever her parents gave me since their English was really poor.
Angie - yup, get the baby moving..... who knows you may have a budding musician in the making.
Crystal - congrats on 1 year!
Congrats to those successful this week.
Take care.

Good Afternoon Pepper's,
Yes very busy durning tax season(I do taxes as a second job until April) I am hoping to get a new bed soon need some real good sleep. Right now only about 5-6 hours at night. but after April it is back to one job for the rest of the year.
I really need to control my eating, when I am tired I loose control. Also, by the time I get home from my second job it is after 9PM and I have to eat dinner then it is bed time. I cant bring dinner with me (cant be eating while with clients) and no time in between. I will figure something out.
Well back to work. Have a great day:bigsmile:0 -
Miss V, my wedding photos are that way. I got married 1 1/2 years ago BEFORE I started losing weight. The pictures are still hanging on the wall and they probably always will. I can't erase the past. Plus, it is a reminder of what I don't want to go back to.0
-
Well I weight in at 245 so up a pound. My knee is still acting up. Tried to walk a little today and it feels like it trying to throw itself out so Blah!! Well gotta keep trying.0

Read in March 2010, Redbook magazine, pg 22
"Chew gum, lose weight
Three sticks of sugar-free gum over the course of an afternoon reduce hunger and carvings, and even lead snackers to eat fewer calories, says a new study from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center and Louisana State University. Statsh a pack of Wrigley's sugar free 5 gum in your bag - its fancy wrapping and fab flavor make chewing gum feel almost elegant."
Well, Ladies and Mike - That's what the article says - chew 3 sticks of sugar free gum each afternoon.
Has anyone tried this?
Barb0 -
BAIcott - I haven't tried this but I think I will. It doesn't hurt to try. I chew gum when I exercise.0
-
I did it years ago, but not 3 sticks, just one. When I did Jenny Craig in '96, ( while working in a hospital lab ), I would chew a piece of gum immediately after breakfast, then again after lunch. I have done it since then over the years, but never 3 sticks in the course of an afternoon...maybe that's my problem here??? I don't know how 'clean' sugar free gum is....but hey, Bob does suggest it on BL, so I say give it a try!0
-
Sounds like a reasonable idea to me. I might grab a few packs at the store this afternoon. I think it would be nice to have a few different flavors for variety.
I've already done my yoga for the morning. DH & I are off to grocery shop in a little while. After that, we're going to the gym or maybe a bike ride if the weather is warm enough. Tonight, he's taking me out to a karaoke bar. He's going to act as DD so I can drink (and sign :happy: ). I made sure to track some alcohol so I don't go over. I really want to go back on track. Going out is no excuse right now.
I'm setting new goals. I want them to be reasonable so I have no excuse not to reach them. I have the original go of losing all 100 lbs by my 1 year ann. I realize now that it wasn't realistic to lose 2 lbs a week EVERY week for a whole year.
1st - My best friend and I just booked a cruise that leaves April 22. I want to lose at least another 10 lbs before I go. I would really like to have my ticker read 70 lbs lost, but we'll see.
2nd - lose another 10 by my birthday on June 27.
3rd - 10 more before DH's birthday on August 30.
4th - last 10 lbs (for a grand total of over 100 lbs) before New Years!!0 -
real quick note here.....had bus trip for most of yesterday........no internet service, couldn't check in, log my food/activity
, gave in to pleasure food (CHIPS :grumble: ) did get a walk in w/Leslie and 5 min w/Mia......
today dh and I are celebrating anniv # 23...so will be dining out later and likely not recording THAT, but will focus on control....and get a decent workout in.
gotta go, have a great Sunday team! Will check in later and post the chart!
Crystal....you are inspiring me!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Sounds like everyone is having a great weekend. Have fun tonight KELLY!! Congrats!
I just came back from working out.....1 hr. of cardio! YEAH! FEEL GOOD TODAY! Have a great day everyone!0 -
let me know if I need to change anything... 0 -
well, I am STILL full from my meal....:sick: blech.....ready to get movin' and get sweaty!
Crystal, I was just thinking the same thing...about my goals. I am aiming for 20 lbs this year....I know I need to lose double that for a normal wt, but with all my yo-yo yrs, slow and steady seems to be working for me. However, I have not been steady what-so-ever! I have kept the 20 off from last year, so I will be happy if I am at 170 or less by Jan 2011. I tended to favor quick loss, but now see that didn't work. I really need to get out of my comfort zone, and push thru a lot of issues..... I want to improve my consistency with exercise and take my fitness to the next level. My eating habits are pretty good, *IF* I stay on track 80-90% of the time. I need to be honest with myself about this whole lifestyle thing, and I know hard work and staying committed will get me closer to a healthier me. The first thing I need to do is correct my ticker.....
My youngest son graduates May 16. I would love to be down 20 by then, but I don't even know if that will happen. I know just with regular exercise, starting now, I am going to feel better, and possibly look slimmer. If the wt comes down, well, that will be a plus.
For the month of March these are my goals....
~~ exercise, 25 days OR 1500 minutes.
start Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and get to day 5 of Level 2
March 17, my 44th bday....weigh 182????
I think setting goals really does help and looking at them daily keeps me focused and accountable. :flowerforyou:0 -
Crystal - I love karoke. Can't sing worth a damn... but I don't. I'm one of those folks that you need to pry the microphone out of my hands and I'm sober!
My golas were 3lbs Feb, Mar, Apr. Hoping to lose 10 by mid May. Perhaps it's still doable.
This weekend was a flop. A CubScout recognition lunch on Saturday. Then after the school teacher/parent talent show I took the kids out to the local diner. Cake at the recognition dinner, leftover cake today.....
I had some big challenges w/my oldest and came close to take an anti anxiety med. I have a prescription which I got in early winter. Haven't taken one yet.
On the flip side I did get the verizon's droid on Friday night. That thing is stressing me out since I'm not one who handles technology change well. I'm not the kind of person who can just pick up a techno thing and be able to work it. W/o the kids or hubby I can't figure out how to play a DVD. I feel thankful I have gotten few calls and texts. I am struggling w/how to figure this phone out.
Here's hoping Monday starts a better week for us.

Good Morning Pepper's,
It was such a crazy week end. Was not able to log in. Have to get back to work but just wanted to pop in and say hello. Hope all is doing well :bigsmile:0 -
BAIcott hang in there...this will be a better week for ya.
I just went to another gym about 10 minutes away and joined. They have CHILD CARE!! YEAH! Hard to find that available out here in the country. I live 30 minutes east of Austin. And the gym is cheaper too!! So excited!! I let my son play around in the room this morning and got to know the lady that works the daycare. She was really nice...Wyatt didn't want to leave.
Have a great day everyone!!0 -
just thinkin' of you pepper's and wishin' ya a happy Monday! did Level 1 day 1 of JM shred....ugh! Will find out tomorrow how out of shape I am. Started my stretch and tone and weighted ball workout last week. The last time I started the Shred ( only made it to day 3 ), my shoulders and thighs were screaming....plan is to do a brisk walk later and stretch with Denise. am thinkin' Aunt Flo will be here as well this week....
Will check back later! Focus on TODAY!! Plan as much as you can and stick to it!! :flowerforyou: Yay us!!0 -
Here's another Monday -- done. Well, just about done for me.
To my great surprise, my dau who challenges me asked to go to Curves w/me. And she liked it. Wanted to know why we didn't go on the treadmill. Well, when you arrive 30 minutes prior to closing, you can only do the 30 minute circuit.
I was sharing w/one of my friend how my dau wanted to be w/me after the way she treated me yesterday. As my dear friend told me... my dau is keeping her friends close and her enemies closer. Great... just want I wanted to hear from a friend.
To a great Tuesday!
Barb0 -
walked w/Leslie, but didn't get stretching in w/Denise...made a tuna casserole for supper, but having troubles figuring the nutritional values....even with a recipe calculator. ok, I am trying to expand my tastes....have never had an avocado, so can anyone tell me what they resemble in taste...bitter, bland...I have no idea...and how do you eat it? I was going to just peel it and slice it on my salad.
Barb, oh the wonder of teens....I think it's great that your dd went with you to Curves. I'm sure everything will be back to normal soon for you both.
Lynette ~ that is just great for you and the new gym!! glad it happened for you!!
Cindy ~ so, will things slow down for you 4/15? hope you get time once in a while to relax and just kick back.
hope the rest of the gang is doing good. take care all, gnite0 -
KellyA : Avocados are delicious. Pick them when they are semi soft for guacomole. Add garlic salt, cilantro, diced tomatoes, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice. Enjoy with some healthy chips.
Or cut them up and put on a nice turkey burger....eat them by themselves. They don't have that much of a taste.....hard to describe.0 -
Hi Team.....where's everyone at??? Hope you are all doing good, working hard towards your goals. You can do it if you really want to! :flowerforyou:
Didn't sleep so well last night so a little tired today...I think I am gonna do the shred M-T-W, off Thurs, then again F-Sat, off Sun. That will get me 5 days a week. I just want to say that doing my stretching and resistance training last week did help lessen the soreness. I started yesterday and today I am doing pretty good. Nothing like last time when I started it. Also, I don't think that there is not enough stretching at the end of the workout either, so doing more on your own would help. Thinking maybe an outdoor walk might be in the plan for later....it's warming up!! :glasses:
Have a great day, make it count!0 -
Hey all,
I haven fallen and cant get up!! No just in a funk, Knee still trying to give a lot of trouble. So MiA a friend of mine went into labor Sunday and I didn't get home untill 4 am Monday. So slept all Monday, Dead to the world. Tried to be good ate salad with chicken for dinner but then I ate a chocolate egg after that. So am not doing good at all. I think I will go to the gym after BL tonight and swim or maybe before. Not sure DD daught has practice and DS has baseball practice more like taxi service for me. Hope everyone is doing good. Keep up the good work all.

Good Morning Pepper's,
Sorry not checking in as much. Its been very busy on my day job and the second job. Yes Kelly I will be back to one job for the rest of the year April 15th is the last day. I am so busy I am getting no down time and eating supper to late at night. Have not done my 30 day shred for a week. I forgot how hard it was durning tax season. I have been ok with sticking to my calories. The last two days I have not been logging (no time). At least I have the next two nights off and can get some well needed sleep.
Gotta get back to work. :bigsmile:0 -
Good morning everyone!! I'm still doing good over here. Saturday did not turn out well after the alcohol and the eventual late night pizza, but I've kept it on track ever since. I've been using Gold's Gym Cardio for the Wii the past few days. It is kinda fun and my arms are really sore today. I could use the arm workout, so I think I'll add this into the mix for a while. DH and I are meeting at the gym after work today.
Barb, DH has a Droid. He loves it. I got the HTC Droid Eris. They are both pretty cool little phones. Maybe I can help out if you have any questions.
Hang in there everyone, the week is halfway over!!!0
