Mstahl - I am sorry you got such a cruddy review.
Sometimes you need that push that you need to make another decision, hope that other posistions works out for you.

My morning battle with my scale
So i woke up at 5:30 (unwillingly since my 3 yr doesn't get the concept of "sleeping in"), and scale was 281.4 (3x in a row)
THen i came downstairs, sorry TMI ...but took a big poop....THen went to to get a shower ...got on and 280.5 (3x in a row ), then got on again (279.5...yes that was a 27? I was excited) but really how can my weight jump 1 lbs within like 2 minutes. I Understand that it fluctuates throught the day, but like 2 minutes?...I am just ranting i guess....any of the 3 are okay with me of course i love the 279.5..i haven't see an 27? since 2007 and it was going up...since I was like down to 250 after my baby was born when i went back to work in feburary and was like 290 in september of 2007 so assuming someone in between...i am just rambling now, guess i need to get my girls ready for school0 -
Morning gals just finished my 45 minute run and I will do another 45 later if I feel like it.232 this morning so almost back to normal.2 pounds to go and I will be back to last weeks weight -1 pound extra.Thats what I am hoping for.0

Awestfall - WTG on the 45 min run...you inspire me maybe one day i can run for more than a minute:sad: :sad: 0

hubby and i were talking about losing weight together...we both need to lose like 50 pounds...and start working out together outside since it's starting to get nice around here. What do you all think? Am i setting myself out to fail or will it be good to do this together...he can be very bossy at time. we can motivate each other...0 -
Thanks lildebbie!! It didn't happen over night it took alot of time for me to build up to 1 hour and more.But I think its part of my daily life now.I seem not to be able to go a day without running now.I LOVE RUNNING!!! Hard to believe a year ago I couldn't even walk up my stairs without being out of breath and now I can run up and down them no problem.Yes I may still be 232 pounds and yes that is fat but I am making myself healthier each and everyday by exercising and eating right.Pretty soon the weight will have no choice but to fall off and I feel like it may be coming pretty soon.Awestfall - WTG on the 45 min run...you inspire me maybe one day i can run for more than a minute:sad: :sad:
Positively- I
you girl!! thanks for the sweet comment on my pic.I can tell my face is getting smaller because pictures I have taken a few months before this one my face was alot fatter.This was taken about a week ago.So again thanks makes me feel good. 0 -
Positively me- I say go for it with your husband .Like you said you can motivate each other.I wish I could get my husband to exercise with me but I will settle for him and my girls eating healthier food choices because I no longer buy junk anymore.check in: 3/24/10

Ok I am changing my ticker back to reflect what I have lost since I started my journey.So when it says I lost 20 or 30 pounds already its just reflecting my starting weight last year.Hope no one minds me doing that.I just keep forgetting how much I have really lost so far.0

Good morning, ladies!
Cris: Beautiful ring...and it looks big, too! I love that your fiance (are you used to saying that yet?) motivated you to go to the gym which resulted in you exercising longer than normal. I love that he's on track with you and motivating you to stick with it. Yay!
Littlespy: I'm with you on the beef vs. turkey thing. I always use 97% lean beef, even when the fattier stuff is cheaper because I just can't stand knowing there's more fat than I needed!
Blunote: Congrats on getting your hair cut and fitting in the salon chair. That's awesome! You're just wracking up the successes!
Tiger: Congrats on your wedding. I can't wait to see pics of the beautiful bride (you!)!
Pos: I did the shape thing, too, and I'm a pear. I never would have thought I'd be a pear but it's funny that the types of clothes they recommend for my shape are what I already wear. Hey, at least I know I'm on the right track. Oh, and I definitely think you should workout with your hubby. Having someone to workout with and keep you motivated is the biggest advantage. Plus, getting outside for those workouts (walking, hiking, etc) will strengthen your relationship because it forces you away from the television and other distractions. My boyfriend and I have seen the benefits!
mstahl: Way to go on your "accidental" week three workout.
lildebbie: I say take the 279.5 and run with it, girl! Don't ask why, just own it!
Awestfall: Your comment about being fat and running makes me go back to the article I read recently that someone overweight and active IS healthier than someone thin and inactive. You're doing all of the right things, so keep it up!
Okay, now checking in for yesterday:
Calories: 98 calories over
Sodium: 802 over
Water: 48 oz.
Exercise: Walked the dog with my boyfriend, cleaned out my car and packed for my weekend trip.
Proud: That my car is now organized, which makes the boyfriend happy!
Have a great day ladies!

03.24.10
Calories: 1470
Exercise: 30 Day Shred level 1; 40 minute walk, including a few minutes of swinging & epically failing on the monkey bars. :laugh: I was never able to do those as a kid, either (fat kid)! So, maybe that should be a goal -- I WILL monkey my way across those stupid bars some day this year. Yes, in my work clothes.
Water: I know it's more than 8 cups, but that's what I have logged. I'm betting it's 11 though, I normally forget to log my last jug full at work.
Proud: I got up for day 2 of 30 Day shred this morning.
I woke up today feeling lighthead & dizzy. Not sure what's going on there. I did 30 Day Shred day 3 anyway -- luckily not much balancing is involved. I'm still feeling wonky. I have been known to experience random episodes of vertigo very occasionally -- since I was a kid -- so I think that's what this is. Probably related to allergies/sinus pressure. At least I hope that's all it is.

Mine reflects my weight loss since November, even though I didn't start MFP until after that time. You do whatever you need to do to keep yourself motivated! We're with you!0 -

I think I'm going to have to be a copy cat and do the same. Makes me feel better then seeing 10 pounds lost! I like the way 39 pounds looks! It's silly but whatever makes me feel better right? Great idea awestfall!0 -
Jess & awestfall- It's still weight lost right? It all adds up and shows the great progress you've made! Definitely deserves to be added on your tickers
Littlespy- Great job on doing your workout even though you weren't feeling well. I wouldn't have had the motivation to do it, that's awesome. Hope you start to feel better soon!0 -
ABSOLUTELY you change that ticker to reflect ALL of your accomplishments! Be proud of how far you've come!
lildeb - when my scale decides to play with my mind I usually take the average of all of the numbers, or the middle one it gives me.
Girls & boys, do you notice something different on my post? :blushing: I FNALLY HIT 6 - 0!!!!! And this time my ticker is honest! Oh my soul and body that took me three weeks of fighting the same three pounds but I finally did it! I bet it has a LOT to do with being on vacation and not being so stressed out this week. I worked HARD for that ticker! I should re-write Donna Summer's song: "She works hard for that ticker, so hard for that ticker. She works hard for that ticker, so you better treat her right!" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

I say if you are both dedicated it would benefit the both of you. It's always easier to be in a relationship with someone who is trying to lose weigh as well. I have learned that the hard way. But I'm not married so it could be different when you are married. But I see it as a positive! :bigsmile: And I am the same way with the turkey. When I go to my parents house now my mom still uses hamburger and it just tastes nasty to me and it makes me feel like crap! It's weird how after going healthy and you try to eat some "junk" food it makes you feel so yucky! :sick:0 -
Hi ladies
Hope everyone is ok
Cris - your ring is beautiful :happy:
Ann - 45 min run is amazing, I can do about 15 at the moment :laugh:
Bluenote - Your weightloss is awe inspiring and huge credit to you, You should be extremely proud of yourself :flowerforyou:
Heather - thank you for taking the time to answer my sodium question, I am going to have to work out how to work it out in the meals I cook ( if that makes sense) LOL
Littlespy - Absolutely beef over turkey mince
Now for checking in
Went slightly over yesterday and didn't exercise
- my excuse is it was my 20th Wedding Anniversary ! and although we didn't go out (we are on Saturday :drinker: ) I did have some champagne !
Back on track today and feeling good
Have a good day

Totally Jess !! Its all about keeping ourselves motivated and feeling great about the progress we have made.I love see the bigger number right now because it reminds me that I am doing this and how far I have already come in a year.I know 25 pounds doesn't seem like alot of weight to lose in one year but considering that I had lost a total of 47 pounds until I had gained 20 some pounds of that back.I will take keeping the 25 pounds off as a reward and I am working on getting more weight off.Ok I am changing my ticker back to reflect what I have lost since I started my journey.So when it says I lost 20 or 30 pounds already its just reflecting my starting weight last year.Hope no one minds me doing that.I just keep forgetting how much I have really lost so far.

I won't argue with your tastes, because everyone likes what they like, lol. :happy: But I would like to point out that very lean beef is, in no way, "junk" food. Maybe your mom is using 75 or 80% lean so it has a ton of extra fat -- If so, I can definitely see how that would make you feel sick! Blech, to too much animal fat. :sick: 0 -
Good Morning Ladies... I don't remember the board being so active first thing in the morning. I guess I was gone too long.
I agree with the ticker.. Go ahead and have your ticker reflect the total number. After all it does give you a better look at how far you have come!
bluenote 62 lbs.. wow.. that is incredible! keep up the awesome work!
We hardly eat any red meat. So, I guess for us it is lean ground turkey, chicken, pork loin for the most part.. Although, every once in a while I do crave a good steak or a grilled beef burger...
lilspy sorry to hear about your dizziness.. I know I use to get the same thing this time of year. Now I take oregano oil caplets just 1 a day. The health bennefits are incredible but one thing it does it keep my sinuses drained while boosting my immune system. Since I started taking oregano oil 4 years ago, I have not had a sinus infection, which I use to get 3 or 4 a year.
tiger... congrats on the wedding!
awestfall.. love your new pic!
Mstahl... good luck.. hope the new job comes through!
I am sure I have missed some of you.. I am sorry for the brain cramp..
Today is day 2 of getting back on the wagon. So, far it is going well! The sun is shining, I got my exercise in.. on glass 4 of water so far and had a sensible breakfast! I slept so good last night, I want to think it is because I took better care of myself yesterday.
Well... I am off to work and I have a busy day ahead of me!0 -
I am going to chime in about the turkey too.I personally can't eat beef because it upsets my stomach because I had my gallbladder removed and ever since then I can't eat it.So when I have a burger I make a chicken or a turkey burger and I love it .My husband and girls still eat hamburger on occassion but I have to pass because everytime I eat it I have really bad stomach disturbances.(TMI I know)check in: 3/24/10

HOLY POST-O-RAMA! I LOOOVE LOGGING ON AND HAVING LIKE A MILLION POSTS TO READ! :laugh:
First of all, I am kind of freaked out...I saw 216 on the scale this morning! 216!!! WTH?! It was 216.4 after brushing my teeth :laugh: . I have no idea what is going on because I have my period, I feel almost like I shouldnt get excited about it because its a fluke?! I was at 221 on Friday and now Im at 216...just seems so impossible to me. If its true Ill take it, Im just scared to get excited about it if its not real! I HOPE OH I HOPE ITS REAL!
Website on shape- I was a top hour glass? I dont even know what that means, but I always thought I was a pear shape
coloradogirl- so glad your back and posting, and glad you are feeling more eneregetic. Good luck on day 2!
jesyka- how old is your baby? I saw you were pushing a stroller, my son is 16 months and a handful
:ohwell:
awestafall- you def look hot in that pic! you amaze me with your runs...I wish I could go that long!
pos- I would get your hubby to join in on the fun.I like competition and if you are the same it will give you the drive to keep going and try to 'beat him'
jlb- I literally laughed out loud at you doing the moneky bars at work in your dress up clothes hahaah ur awesome
on the ticker debate- I have my weight loss from pre-MFP days but I was only dieting for like 2 weeks prior to finding MFP so its pretty even, I guesss. I think it should show all your loss though cause its more motivating and reminds you how far youve already come
Blue-GO BLUE, ITS YOUR BIRFDAY WE GONNA PARTY LIKES ITS YOUR BIRFDAY!!! CONGRATS ON THE 60+ LOSS!
Crispy- congrats on your 20th year anniversary, I hope to make it that long :blushing:
Have a fantastic day girls,
Cris0 -
I know 25 pounds doesn't seem like alot of weight to lose in one year but considering that I had lost a total of 47 pounds until I had gained 20 some pounds of that back.I will take keeping the 25 pounds off as a reward and I am working on getting more weight off.
I think 25 pounds is fantastic, awestfall! Especially considering the vast majority of other people *gain* weight every year! I agree with everyone -- you and Jess should OWN every single pound you 2 have worked so hard to lose.
Bluenote -- congratulations on crossing over the big 6-0!!! That's huge! Just think about what your ticker will look like starting with a 7! :noway: I guess we'll see soon enough!0 -
I just checked my weight logs and if the 216 is REAL then I will ahve lost 12+ lbs this month! HOLY@$#^%!:noway:0
-
awestafall-I think 20 pounds in a year is just fine! I have been doing this for about 2 years now and have lost 39 pounds. I am more serious now about it then I was before. It's all about learning and I have viewed this whole process as a learning experience and a true lifestyle change. It doesn't happen over night
littlespy-I don't know what my mom buys but it does NOT like my stomach that's for sure. I'm moving home in a couple of months and I told her she had to start cooking better!
mstahl-Don't let the review get you down. Hope you get that new job! Sounds like you really need it!
Colorado-Here's to Day 2 and feeling great! It's gonna pay off!!:drinker:
bluenote-Glad to see your ticker moving again!! You have been working your butt off. Way to hang in there and not quit on yourself!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
Cris-I would take the 216 and don't look back girl! That is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!! You are just kicking butt and taking names!! And 12 pounds in a month...all I can say is WOW! :bigsmile: :drinker:0 -
Hey everyone! The wedding went great! I will try and post some pictures later. I am going to start MFP up again like I was doing on Monday! Im still wore out from the wedding and all the excitement! I hope everyone is doing well!
Congrats on the wedding Tiger! and Cris ... the ring is beautiful! :flowerforyou:0 -
I got a bad review at work today and I told my VP - well... I have been trying to make a decision and you sure are making that easy for me :bigsmile: He didn't seem to feel as happy as I do about that but hey... what can I say... My score was mid-point which is standard for our org so the review won't hurt me but the verbiage he used was horrible. I'll write my response and send a copy to HR and our Senior VP. I will be kind but *cough* direct. My review was chuck full of miss-spellings and grammar issues. YES I know I have those here all the time but uhm... I do spell check at work!!! I'm being petty - OOPS!:ohwell:
That stinks! That new job is looking better and better though!0
