rj-
I am having a hard time keeping under 150 so I understand about it being a major milestone. Congrats!
IceFaith-
I have felt silly finding things on here also. I didn't know what bump meant for the longest time. lol
Great job on your 6 lb loss.
Bru-
Your dinner sounds yummy! And dancing is a great way to burn calories. I dance with my kids and we have a blast!
Shawhae-
Great job on your loss! But be careful about your asthma. Walking is a really healthy exercise also.
Shelli-
I hope you feel better soon. I always find that exercise makes me feel better, so I think you should workout!
Kalibsmom, spob, families_r_forev welcome. This is a great group!
So I am really proud of myself so far this weekend. I had a family BBQ Friday night and did well. Had some corn bread that I didn't plan on but I only had two ribs like I planned and I ate lots of grilled veggies. I filled my plate with salad first and had a big glass of water before I had my ribs and corn bread so I would be fuller and it worked. Also ate one cup cake, but I took a ton home for the family to finish and didn't eat any of those so I felt I was being really strong. My main concern was getting back on track on Saturday, my hardest eating day. But yesterday I ate really well. I brought a bag of salad and some carrots with me when the family went fishing so I could eat that when it was lunch time. Good thing because they had oily corn dogs. Plus I talked my guy into going for a bike ride, only a 1/2 hour but better than nothing and the kids had a fun time. As for Sunday, I need to drink more water today but so far so good!
Hope everyone has a great day! Be healthy :flowerforyou:0 -
Hey guys! I am really worried about my weigh in Tuesday. I have been doing really great lately with diet and exersize and then this weekend just went down hill. Wedding reception Friday, ate out saturday, friends and dinner at my place with ice cream cones after today! Yikes! Anyway, welcome to all the new peeps!0

Do you guys weigh in on a certain day of the week or is it just a personal choice? THANKS0
-
I think its pretty much once a week whenever is easiest for you, because I see many weights posted throughout the week. I try for fri or sat mornings depending on my plans that weekend.

This is my 2nd weigh in since joining this topic, I've lost 1.2 lbs since last Tuesday. Not quite a week. But the beautiful thing is that, thanks the the office's uber scale, I've actually went from 74.01 lb of fat mass from last week to 71.21 lb of fat mass today! I gained about a pound of fat free mass and water. Just goes to show how you can't trust regular scales!0

This is my first weigh in since joining last week and I have lost 1.6 pounds since then! YAY!0 -
Good morning everyone. It is Monday and I feel like I need a weekend already! My gym is closing on Wednesday and I need to find something new to do with myself. I will still walk, but I want to do a little something extra also. Not yet sure what but I am keeping my eyes open to new ideas and suggestions.
My daughter didn't want to go to school today, she has a bit of summer fever I think. Sorry hon but mommy has to work, so you have to go. So while she took her shoes off while we walked out the door I set my oatmeal down to get the shoes back onto her honorary little feet and walked out without my breakfast. I also left my water bottle on the dish drying rack, but that one I can't blame on my offspring. So I drive her to school, I drop her off, then go to my son's daycare, drop my son off and get into work. Sat down, phone rings, it is my daughter's teacher telling me that she needs a healthy breakfast. I said "uh?" Miss Maria says "Little kids need to eat in the morning and a healthy breakfast is very important" I said "Yes. And....?" I guess my kid told her teacher "mommy left breakfast at home can I have candy?" I explained that I do feed BOTH my kids, she did eat a healthy breakfast and sometimes she changes topics with out taking a breath. Mommy left mommies food at home. pause Can I have candy? And no because we don't have candy at 8 in the morning. The teacher, didn't believe me, because she then told me how she has some corn pops in her locker she will feed her today but next time I need to give her a healthy breakfast. WHAT? I said, in a rude tone I might add, "Please don't! She had oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast and in what way can you see CORN POPS being a healthy breakfast? Because the box says Now with added fiber? I think not! I don't give my kids that crap!"
Ok so just between us I do give my kids that crap. In fact daddy loves that kind of cereal and we have some in the house right now, but I do not give just that for a meal but more as a snack or treat. And not all the time for sure. Once they get older I am sure that will change. But I was just so mad at her. She is like 20 years old and always acts like gods gift to children how dare she talk to me like that, even if she was just trying to help.
Ok, rant over sorry! Maybe I am just grumpy because I didn't eat yet, I don't know but I would never tell one of the parents at my school how to raise or feed a kid! I have had students without food come ask for some from me and I always share what I have, but to call and scold a parent?!?!? Not today little girl!0 -
Great job to all those losing! Welcome to all the newest people and *hugs* to those who are having a rough moment.
Oh, and Jenn, I'd be just as upset as you about that teacher! How dare she!!

So, I have a possible idea for the next month, what do you all think about a weekly challenge. We could have someone (a veteran of this thread, so someone way before my time on here, lol) pick a challenge each week, post it, and for those who would like to do the challenge to say so and have a different challenge up by each Sun to run through that Sat. This way, our little family can stay in the thread. It could be something like 50 situps total for the week or jump rope for 15 min total for the week (not easy, by the way, I barely made it 2min!!). But I think you all get the picture. Aside from losing 5lbs a month through your own exercises, these challenges would be like adding a little extra and on days you feel like you won't make your own exercise goal, you would have these small challenges as a bonus, in a way. If I'm stepping on toes, please feel free to say so, as I don't mean to. I love being able to share whether it's family and work, etc. Again, if not, no worries. Hope you all have a fantastic week!! XoxoxoX Bru0 -
I'm jumping on this bandwagon!

Hand me a seatbelt and strap me in, I need something to keep me on track with my workouts. I'll hang on and won't fall out.
My start weight is 193.8.0 -
Kelly- I'm in. Skinny monday and tuesday here I come! I am weighing in tomorrow morning and am a little worried I might have gained because my weekend was a little... unhealthy. The next two days I want to give myself a good start for July. Here we go!0

congratulations Onmyweigh. 15.2 in just 1 month. I hope I read it right. Please, what kind of exerciseswere you doing?
Biggest Loser Cardio Max. I love it!!0 -
So while she took her shoes off while we walked out the door I set my oatmeal down to get the shoes back onto her honorary little feet and walked out without my breakfast.
I keep a box of the Active Lifestyle Oatmeal in my desk so I don't have to remember it...just for that reason...kids don't help a morning routine! Hope your day improves!!0 -
Awesome idea Bru, I would totally join you!!0
-
I'm in!! I just joined myfitnesspal on the 25th and already lost 2 pounds. So I think I can do it!!
Starting weight: 224
Goal weight: 1540 -
Right now I have a separate little group doing this, but I think it would be fun here too! Like this week, we are doing 105 situps total and jump rope 2min today, then up it 30sec each day for the rest of the week, plus eating a food you haven't tried.Awesome idea Bru, I would totally join you!!
You know, I never realized how out of shape I really am, til just now when I jump roped! I was more winded then versus this mornings 8min jog!! I thought I was gonna trip too! No, instead... ..I think the neighbors got quite a laugh, and almost a peep show!! I'm wearing the pants I wear on my walks, one has a drawstring and these, um, well, don't. So after about 7 jumps, my under-roos were showing, I thought I was gonna lose them comepletely...0 -

This does sound good. We did it a few months ago with a 3500 calorie burn per week. I made it but it was hard. I think that I will try for that again. Should make my loss 2lbs per week. But if you all have any ideas of what else we could do I would love to join ya! Push ups and sit ups are evil, but I could use a few!
BTW, Thanks I do feel better. I always do after I get it all out. After talking with a friend who has her son in the same class I felt much better. I guess I got off easy because the same teacher told my friend that she needs parenting classes because her son wore flip flops 2 school and she told the teacher that it was not worth the fight to make him wear shoes. I just about died when she told me that, my friend is a great mother! I have been busted about the flip flops also tho. But my friend did say "I thought you did let your kids eat sugary cereal" :laugh: OK I'M A BIG LIAR! Just don't tell Miss Maria!0 -
Ok, so I did end up working out yesterday but it didn't matter because I ate like crap!!! I didn't sleep well last night and I still don't feel good today! I got in a great workout this morning and plan on picking it up for the rest of the week. I REALLY want to start July out at 155!
Jenn- I would be pissed at that teacher, too!
Bru- a small weekly challenge sounds like a good idea to me as long as it isn't too much. I am working on increasing my stamina and endurance but not sure about adding anything else at this time. But... a little push not hurt me either! LOL!
Kelly- I don't know what the Skinny Monday or Tuesday is???
WELCOME NEWBIES! Please feel free to jump right in! This is a great group!0 -
My 1st day with myfitnesspal and I'm certainly up for the challenge. Let's do this!!! My current weight is 165 pounds and my goal is to lose 25 pounds.0
-
Jenn - I would kill the b**** ( I am just sayin':blushing: ) no one tells me how to feed my children.
Bru - challenge away. I didn't exercise much until we had the 3500 cal challenge. Now I do between 5000 and 7500 per week. We also did one where you had to try a new exercise.
Shelley - I ate way too much rich food this weekend and I felt like crap today too. I still just worked my butt off and I won't be doing that again anytime soon:sick:
Terri - I hope you doing okay. Hows the knee?
PhylJen - how's the vacay coming along?
Amanda - thanks for all your support.
Welcome to all the newbies. we will start a new thread in July too. That is when we post our starting weights and our goals. Then we check in weekly.
So I had slowed my exercise down to 4500 cals or so a week and I don't like the results or how I felt so I have bumped it back up to 6000 this week. I really need to lose as much as I can now until I find a job because I am sure I can maintain but I don't think that I would able to keep losing like I am.
I hope you all have a great day.0 -
Jenn - I would kill the b**** ( I am just sayin':blushing: ) no one tells me how to feed my children.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I love this!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Jen,
I also thought it was really funny that she told you to feed a healthy breakfast and then said she would feed her corn pop!
P.S. I let my kids eat this"crap" also. I am bad...I figure some energy is better than nothing!
My knee is actually doing better with running than in was with resting. Maybe the stress is building up the right muscles and bones.
Totally random but the more I read about health and fitness the more I know why people get confused. Every time I get a magazine it seems to contradict something from another magazine. For example a few months ago Prevention had a paragraph about weighing daily and how good it was for keeping people accountable. This month Shape days that weighing every day is bad because of daily fluctuations can be depressing! GO FIGURE! Again it come down to what works for YOU!
Have a Great Night!

WELCOME NEWBIES! Please feel free to jump right in! This is a great group!
I'm in weekly challenges that are Skinny Wednesday & Skinny Saturday. The challenges involve that you increase your water & double your exercise for the day. SO Since I want to start my July off under 230 (and you want to be 155) today & tomorrow I'm increasing my workouts & H20 to help me toward my goal. Of course the end of the month is Wednesday, which is my normal Skinny Wednesday challenge. So I'm working it extra hard today thru Wednesday so that I can be under 230 for my July start! :drinker:
I'm also in Bru's weekly challenge that we just started today of the 2 min jumprope & 15 situps. I got the situps down no problem - which actually shocked the heck outta me! :laugh: However the 2 min of jumprope, not so much! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: However I did it! :bigsmile:
Kelly0 -
I could not find my posts on this thread, but i know I am part of this challenge! My start date for measuring is July 1. It is nice to see some familiar names and to see the enthusiastic energy that every one seems to have! I am looking forward to each of us achieving our goals! Lots of luck and thank-you for initiating this challenge!0
