    My gym is always packed on Friday's too. Shoot if I go anytime during the week between 5-6 you have to park 10 miles away and your lucky if you can snag a cardio machine. There's probably 50 there and it's always packed! Rush hour!!

    LittleSpy-Congrats on no double chin! That's awesome! I think I'm almost there...still don't like my side profile shot though.

    We got a little later like 6-6:30, we went on monday it was crowded but we found machines, hubby when on wednesday at like 7 he said it was still crowded (but don't know if as bad as earlier).

    We will go probably around 6:15 tonight so we will see...maybe the rain and friday night will keep people away.

    lilspy - Thanks for the info! Also great on no double chin!! One of these days I will be able to say that too!!

    lildeb- Good Luck at the gym with it not being busy. I sometimes wish I joined a gym but I don't have much extra money to go so I will have to get my but in gear here at home on the eliptical and with Tae Bo.

    So I haven't really eaten much today but I only have 265 calories left!! Holy Moly!! That is what I get for getting a sausage biscuit at McD's this morning!!! Now I really have to do the workout today or I won't be eating much for dinner.

    Well, I will be back if I survive the Taebo DVD.

    Realized I hadn't posted my loss yet! This came at the weekend so it feels like LAST week's loss but it's still here! Actually i had a BIG drop then picked some back up but I'm not changing my ticker back UP because well... it's water of course!

    Lil' Deb - i can't see your pictures but congrats! From reading all the other posts I am sure you look amazing...

    Checking in from yesterday
    Calories: 1468 - kind of high....i really need to get my calorie counting butt in gear & stick to my 1200-1300 calories a day
    Water - made 64 ounces :-) yeah me :-)
    Exercise: 20 minutes on the elliptical & my trainer made me punch out close to 500 crunches in like 15 minutes...

    I refuse to change mine, too! :laugh:

    I can't seem to get my sodium intake back under control, argh! I mean, it's not insane or anything but I like to keep it under 2000mg. I blasted it over 4000mg Monday (:noway:) and then it's been around 2500mg every day since. I know that's one of the reasons I'm retaining water. I think it's one of the rubs of increasing my calories -- the more I eat, the more very low sodium options I have to choose otherwise that 2000mg racks up really really quickly. :ohwell:

    I've noticed that too. I had a hard time keeping it around 1500 when I was eating 1200 calories. Big bummer. I had my hair tie on my hand for like 5 minutes and I still have indentions on my hands from where it was sitting. I MUST be retaining water!

    I've been sitting back here all day trying to decide if I should workout or not. I felt like crap at lunch so I went and go some soup at On The Border. Yep. That shot my day to crap. Makes me want to hit the gym. I know I shouldn't because it will probably slow down my healing. I'll probably wait and see how I feel tomorrow. Shouldn't push it I guess. GRR!!:mad:

    Jess - maybe some light elliptical work? Get to a comfortable pace with your hart rate up and go for sixty minutes - long workout at lower intensity?

    Jess: you determine how you feel. If i felt like crap, i would not exercise because who knows what else would hurt. Consider today as a rest day..Doctor's orders..lol

    Hope you feel better :)

    Also, about the calorie increase and sodium overload...that happens to me all the time. plus, i have an increase with fat too. my calories will be 1300 but my sodium will be like 1700 and my fat will be like 40...yea.. too much for me. Let's not talk about carbs..that is a whole different story..I can never get it low at any calorie intake.

    Jess - I agree take today off...get some rest and hopefully you will feel better and can hti the gym hard next week.

    Littlespy/Mstahl - I did increase my ticket :sad: only because i haven't seen that weight again in over a week now so i am just taking it was gone and not water....i usally don't adjust it , i am not sure if that 1 lb is water or not..who knows it may even be muscle e:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Guess we will see next week where it ends up :laugh:

    I am soo ready for this day to be over....i am soo looking foward to the gym tonight...:laugh: I don't think i ever remember saying that before..

    Now i don't know if i am taking this eating more too far today :laugh: I have almost had 900 cals today so far, and that is where i have been after dinner..not like i pigged out, but i had that subway for lunch then i had a fiberone oats and pb bar...

    Nah, you'll be alright. I'm sitting at 814 right now. I'll eat 150 more before my run & then I'm going to eat dinner and drink beer (I'm just going to go ahead and say I recognize I've been using my daily treat cals on beer an awful lot lately... But only 1 or 2 max, so it's not like I'm developing a drinking problem or anything. :wink: I'm just less interested in sweet stuff and more interested in beer, I guess. :laugh: I always used 100-200 calories on a sweet treat before, so beer isn't really any different nutritionally speaking).

    Well ladies...I just tried on my bathing suit...i think we are going to the pool at the gym so i had to :sad: :sad:

    I have 2 actually, 1 i figured it was tooo small, it is a one piece and just doesn't stretch enought :sad: The other is a 2 piece (like a tankini). I bought this bathing suit back in 2006 (when i was about 265-270 probably), but i wore it in august too funny how bathing suits stretch soooo much. I know when i put it on in august it was tight but i had no choice. The bottoms our a little snug (not near as snug as they were before) but the top is getting way to big.....hope it stays up tonight :tongue:

    I think i may have to get another bathing suit (as much as i don't want to ).

    Zumba was OK. I think it's supposed to be harder than it was, because it felt pretty lame and my heart rate was loooow. There's a spinning class later this weekend I'm going to try. That should kick my bootie.

    Going to work out with my dad tomorrow. I love all this family sweating!

    Thanks guys! Is it very wrong you were the first people I told? :laugh: I just don't like people in real life making a fuss over me and this is the only place I can announce anything without someone I know in real life seeing it. :tongue:

    It was pretty much an "is this really happening?" kind of situation. We were kind of just talking and he just kept grinning at me. At first I thought he was just talking "future" talk. "I want to marry you." And then it suddenly became very present. "Will you marry me?" "Pardon? Come again? What? YES!" :laugh: Then he grabbed the closest ring & put it on my finger. It was rubber and orange and sparkly and awesome but, alas, too small. :laugh:

    There's no ring yet but I refuse to let him spend a lot of money on one because not only am I clumsy but I'm also very prone to losing things, especially small things. :tongue: I would be devastated to lose any engagement ring, but especially a very expensive one. And especially because he's a student and only working part time and he can't really afford to spend as much as he is trying to spend on one. So, we'll go ring shopping probably on Sunday since I have to work 7am-2pm tomorrow & then we're going to a party in a city 100 miles away tomorrow evening.
    He said I walked up on him looking at engagement rings a few weeks ago and I never had any idea he was seriously considering proposing. I honestly didn't expect it until after he graduates this December. I have a claddagh ring which is an Irish ring (we're both part Irish) sometimes traditionally used as a wedding or engagement ring so I'm just wearing that for now the way that traditionally indicates engagement. I love the ring and bought it for myself years ago and have been wearing it on my right hand but now I can finally wear it on my left. :smile:

    He's so adorably excited. He's been practicing saying "Well, I'll have to run that by the Mrs." for whenever someone asks him to do something from now on.

    Neither one of us has ever been into the idea of a big wedding (or really even a small one). If we had more money I guarantee we'd hop a plane to Vegas in the next month or so and get married there. We may do that anyway if we find that we can afford it! And yes, I'm talking cheesy Elvis wedding! I love it! But probably what's more likely is a courthouse marriage which is also 100% fine with me. Seems to be the trend among our group of friends, actually. Then we may have a party at our house to celebrate but no big deal.

    Sorry I'm rambling. Just excited. :smile:
    My brother and SIL were married for 2 years before anyone in our family knew! :laugh: We're strange folks.

    awww that's so cute! Congrats again!

    I think you should do any kind of wedding you want. If I ever get married I'd want to elope. I don't want all the fuss. Can't wait to see the ring you pick out.

    I giggled when I saw that we were the first ones you told. :tongue:

    So glad to hear you are excited! You deserve to be! I love when they pick it out of the blue like that. You are really surprised that way. Congrats! Have a great night!
