Okay... So, I am hitting bottom for the first time since I really started trying to lose weight (1/1/2010) I am so depressed. I workout extremely hard and dont see any results -hardly. I am so happy that I can tell my endurance is up, but I can feel myself giving up. On top of all of that, I have been rather happy that my scale has been telling me I am 174ish... Now, understand this is not where I want to be... but better than 185! However, this week I learned that my scale is for sure broken. I compared on two different scales and they both read much higher than mine at home
Like... back around original weight. ughh
After all of this happened, I just really let this week go. I gave up trying really. I went to my gym classes, but not as much as I usually do. I let my food take over! I never went above 1,800 calories, but my goal is 1,200! I don't know what to do. I don't want to be in a slump. I want to show results. I have been at this for almost 5 months and only 8 lbs-maybe....
One positive is that at my gym class last night a lady asked me "how much weight have you lost?" That made me feel better... it came out of nowhere. I think I was really flattered because she is the star pupil of the class-so named by me
. She really is fabulous!
I will weigh in later when I get around my scale. Dont know how much I can trust it though. I hate that I am already feeling sluggish today - partly due to the bad weather here- I believe I can blame some of it on my bad eating habits this week as well! I don't even feel like exercising today- but hopefully I will tonight at home. At least a little something.
I'm sorry for your frustrations. I have experienced this whic has caused me to gain more weight than ever because I gave up. PLEASE DON'T I'm learning that losing weight is a journey that we must embrace. We can do it. Try to switch up your foods and exercise routines.0 -
Hello All,
congrats on everyone who has lost weight. Thank you Allie for the chart it gave me a little bit more encouragement.
Have a good day everyone.0 -
on a completely unrelated note. I have changed my profile pic. this is a picture of my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend going to last night's senior prom.
she has been accepted in to a major university starting in August and I couldn't be more proud. :sad: I just wanted to show her off, so thank you all for indulging me. 0 -
She is beautiful!!! I love the dress!0

So sorry I missed weigh-in yesterday. I'm now at 219 (down 3 lbs from last week!)
I would LOVE to be under 200 by July 4th. That's my short-term goal! What a great day to celebrate freedom and my freedom from the pounds! I haven't been under 200 since I was in middle school, 20 years ago! :noway:0 -
allie you did a wonderful job on the chart.0
-
Thanks! I hope it's easy for everyone to read. I can't wait to see the percentages and pounds lost grow!!
I definitely think we can hit our one ton goal...which would be a total loss of 19%0 -
83 pounds in one week is awesome! Thanks Allie for doing the chart. Maybe we should set a group goal of losing at least 100 pounds a week. We might have hit it this week (counting the 11 people we missed)!0

The best cure I found was a banana smoothie made with fresh Banana, low fat yogurt and honey will make you feel tons better.0 -
Hi all
just back from the food store bought all my meals for the week and I am ready to go tomorrow is my real weigh in day and I took a peek this am and I think I will be down 2-3 by the am. feel really good. have also increased my water intake think that has also helped. enjoy the rest of your sunday . Let have a happy week. I will continue with my same fitness program 30 -40 mintues at the gym m-f0 -
Congrats to all of you who saw a loss this week! I'm so impressed with everyone's dedication! You're all so awesome.
You may have noticed that I have a new profile pic. It was my birthday this weekend, and I wore the dress to go out to dinner with my boyfriend, his sister and his brother in law. I admit that I wore one of those shaper undergarments to suck in the gut a bit. Well, when we got home, I took it off and guess what? It wasn't sucking me in much because there wasn't much of a difference without it. The pic is without the shaper. I had my boyfriend take it because I told him I needed to post it on MFP. You gals are such an inspiration. Can you believe this was the first time I'd worn a dress in four years?!? And it was my first time wearing the high zip-up boots...I felt sexy in them!
Hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did.

Welcome!
Weigh-in is on Fridays. Challenges are suppose to be weekly, but unless I have just missed it, we haven't received a new one this week.0 -
Happy Monday, ladies! I don't know about you all, but I am jonesing to go back to the gym. Had sick kids last week, so I wasn't able to go, but they are feeling much better today, wonderful! Also on Saturday night, I went out on a date with The Man. Popcorn at the movies, french fries and a BIG margarita at the restaurant....woo! I was so afraid to get on the scale the next day that I didn't do it til 6 PM. And of course the scale said I had gained over 3 pounds! :sad: But this morning when I got on, it said I was back down to 175.3 again, which is just a little over what I weighed in at on Friday. The date was totally worth it though. I The Man. Especially because he takes all the leftovers to work for lunch so I don't eat them. 0

Great job ladies! Thanks to ALLIE for a great job on the spreadsheet!
i agree with another post - this week we should aim for 100lbs as a group! that would be awesome:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
WE CAN DO IT!0 -
Allie: Thanks for the compliment :blushing:
I agree that losing 100 lbs. weekly as a group is doable with our large number of participants and our dedication! Fun!
I should be back on track today, but we won't talk about that McDonalds Frappe that has *gasp* 560 calories!0 -
I just spent an unexpected 4 days out of town (= hotel + restaurants) and had a very eye-opening experience with trying to make healthy choices. Many restaurants don't have nutritional info, and those that did were sometimes so haphazard that I got quite frustrated trying to chose a meal without ruining everyone else's experience. I will give a shout out to IHOP, they have an entire section of choices under 500 calories, which list calories + fat content right on the menu. 500 calories is a lot, but some were within the 350 - 400 range. So lesson learned, stay away from restaurants unless I can study their website listing nutrition in advance. UUGH! No wonder there are so many struggling with their weight!
Just needed to vent, back on the wagon today in a BIG (no pun intended) way!0 -

I'm such a dork....
I was trying to catch up on all the posts and instead of posting on this thread I did on the old one under "Introduce Yourself"...sorry gang.
If you don't want to go over there and read it the jist is this....
Until I can find out what happened to the challenge from kris this week I want you to try the following...
30mins cardio today and 16mins of stretching.
Sound ok?
I'll try hunt down cris and meokk and see what the deal is.

Amazing job everyone!!
Ugly weekend of eating and not keeping track :frown: glad that it's Monday cause that means I am back on track and working out today so it will all even out.
Have a great Monday!
(Thank you so much Allie for all the work you are doing with the chart :flowerforyou: )0 -
So...what if from now on whoever is the biggest loser for the week (listed under the "% lost week" column) can pick the challenge for the week. If they've done it within the past couple weeks either the honor can go to second place or the winner can pick someone who they feel deserves it!
Thoughts??
I feel like this might be a little more motivation for everyone.0 -
i just sent a message to the other place but i'm here now

I finished the challenge made by meokk.0
