I am a big Jillian Michaels fan and she suggests not to have carbs after dinner, so when I want a late/later snack I aim for string cheese, cottage cheese, almonds - hopefully something like that takes the edge off.
Bru - neat idea to get together - I am in NE Wisconsin - where is everyone else?

Hey guys, I'm Natalie...please can I join this great group? :flowerforyou:
I currently weight 174lbs and have been at a plateau for about 3 weeks. I stopped losing when I stopped ANY exercise due to tendonitis of the achilles tendon. I have fully recovered now and am currently doing the 30DS....Nice to meet you all :flowerforyou:0 -
Last month we posted where we were from so people could hook-up if they were near anyone. Probably a great idea for this month since there are so many new members to this thread.
I am in Northfield, MN
Where do you live?

HI All,
Ok, I'm a little frustrated. I jumped the gun and weighed myself on Sunday because I felt really great and I weighed in at 139.2. The lowest I've been in 4 years. This morning I weighted in at 140.8. The last two days I worked out extra hard too. I do have my Lady Thing and am wondering if that has something to do with it.. hopefully!? I saw some of you post about it but I haven't read them yet. I'll have to see what you said.
Here it is. Not at great as I wanted but at least I'm losing SOMETHING!
SW March 2009: 152 lbs
June 1st: 141.8
June 8: 141.2
June 14: 140.8
GW June 30th: 136.8 lbs
Ultimate Goal 130 lbs.
I am really getting frustrated.
Ok, I'm quoting myself here because yesterday i was really frustrated and then started reading about days you should weigh in. So I had done a serious weight lifting session Monday night and weighed myself Tuesday morning and that is when my weight went up dramatically from the night before. I found online that you shouldn't weigh yourself the day after lifting because your muscle swell with fluid and retain a lot of water as they repair themselves. Maybe it's totally wrong but I weighed myself this morning and I'm back down again and really wanted to post it because I haven't been under 140 in years and it felt good to see that. Here are my new stats. Sorry about all the silliness but I really needed this motivation because yesterday I was just if an awful mood about it the entire day. I think I need to throw my scale away sometimes and not weigh myself at all!

I usually don't eat after dinner. Sometimes, if I have any calories left I will have a Skinny Cow single serving ice cream cup. I love these and it takes care of my sweet tooth. Most of the time I don't have any calories left. :frown: I am in Indiana. Anyone live close to me???0

Thank you to those whp rsponded to me about weighing in on TOM....I was feeling really discouraged. And to top it off...I stepped on the scale and I had gained 2lbs...of course I weighed myself before I read all the wonderful support-boosters. I will boost up the water drinking...I won't weigh in this week.
I love all the snack ideas and support here...BTW- I'm in San Diego, Ca....anyone near? :glasses:0 -

When I step on the scale & it shows I've gained then I drink more H2O and add another exercise/workout or 2. Then I'm usually back down again the next day. It all works out on the scale!

Snacks? If I have too many snacks around the house that's all I do is eat snacks... I have a jar of dry roasted peanuts at my desk with a 1/8 measuring cup, I don't allow myself any more than that. For dessert I've tried the yoplait parfaits they are OK but a lttle too sweet, the weight watchers ice cream cups are really good, and I've tried the smartones brownie ala mode and it's pretty good. I love to have fruit (small apples or oranges) with my lunch to satifisfy that sweet craving afterwards.0 -

Sorry for being so absent lately. I went on vacation (which WAS relaxing after all) then had family over for a few days. They left about 20 minutes ago. With all that is going on, I have fallen off the wagon in a big way. I am upset with myself but at the same time, this has been the longest I have ever gone with sticking to a healthy lifestyle. I won't let this bump in the road take me all the way back to 185, and I am starting over FRESH tomorrow. These few pounds I have gained will melt away, and I will continue to lose!0 -
Amanda, glad you were able to enjoy your vacation. Your positive attitude is very inspiring!!
I ate 2 small pieces of pzza with the family for dinner tonight and am soooo proud of myself for not having 4 or more!!0 -

Well, I weigh in officially tomorrow, but just for the heck of it, I weighed in this morning (unofficially) at 227.6, which means I went up .2lbs But hopefully it will be different tomorrow. My eating habits haven't changed and my exercise has been push just a bit harder than previous weeks do to advancing in C25k..hopefully it will pass. That icky weekend is approaching again, I think it will be another one at home which should do me good. Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far and an even better weekend. XoxoxoX Bru0

I jumped the gun and got on the scale this morning just to check things out. I was really hoping for a repeat of last week but I can't complain because the scale was down .4lbs. I have started C25K back up after being sick for a week. I thought I was going to have to start over but I started with week 2 and I am so ready to move on to week 3. I was sad when the running part was over. What has happened to me LOL!! Hopefully tomorrow the scale will move again in the right direction !!0

Tonight I'm starting training for the Bix 7 race the end of July! Its a grueling 7 mile, full of hills race! However running with 15,000 -20,000 people is a lot of fun! I won't be running it however! I always run the hills, but fast walk the rest! I haven't done it since 2004!
