    hey folks....reporting a 7.6 lb gain this week. expected it and claiming it. been in a semi-funk.... if that is even a word. slightly out of control with eating some days, consistent exercise has NOT happened, logging food for am, then my day falls apart. doesn't help at all, that I ate a Chinese buffet last nite. am sure 3/4 of the gain is water, and my cycle is more wicked this month. anyway, vowing to do better, starting now. realizing the importance of making a plan and sticking to it. prioritizing ME is the only way I will succeed. busy day here and then football bus trip later. gonna try and format a newer chart for us. sorry for not posting it lately.

    have a good one and I'll try to check in later.

    Well got 10 min walk in but not logging it, anything under 15 mins dont give many calories anyway.

    Kelly we are getting our cycle at the same time, mine is almost over and never loose while I have it. I totally forgot to bring lunch have carrots stashed so lunch will be an apple and carrots, I am going to be very hungry. (cindy stay away from the snack basket) :laugh:

    Barb is that a loss, good going.

    MissVita it will be a very happy day to get out of the 190's, I'll even be happy if its 189.999 :laugh: So sick of seeing it on the scale.

    Well I think I will keep a little notebook on me at all time. I noticed that I forget little things that I eat on the run mostly on the week ends, but they add up. If I write it down and refer to it when logging I will be more accurate. I so want to see the scale move down.

    Well check back later.

    I lost 5 pounds the first 3 days (since Sept.!0) but nothing more but have not gained the 5 pounds back so that is good.The good news is I lost a 1nch in my waitst and my hips. Even if the scales aren't showing change, my cloths are. I will keep with it as I have a long ways to go. I have 50 lbs. to shed. and with MYFITNESSPAL I know I will succeed.Hang in there ya'll!
  • Ok so I did soooo much better today. Just need to not eat until morning. Its 9:30 so wish me luck.
    I logged in everything which is a first in a very long time!! So I am proud of myself about that.
    Need to work on the water.
    Never got out to walk but did do some major house cleaning.
    Well hope everyone is having a good weekend!
  • Good Morning,
    Well heres to a new day. So I am trying to new things today to see if they really help.
    1. Was reading that if you drink a cup of warm water (just before it comes to a boil) and add on fresh squeeze lemon to eat. Before breakfast it will help your digestion and clean your stomach in a natural non medicated way.
    2. I was reading on a vitamins study that omega 3 with exercise showed that more people had better results than omega 3only,, exercise only or placebio only people.
    So I weight in and no gain so happy about that.
    So goals today
    1. water
    2. log in food
    3. some form of exercise
    4.No soda
    5.portion control
    6.No eating 3 hours before bed
    oh by the way I made it to bed without eating last night YEAH!!!
    Have a good day everyone


    Bevsalter- Good job !! Keep it up!

    Hey all....
    It's great to report it was a great weekend.

    Saturday, hubby and I entered our cars in a car show. I won! Best of Class, Stock category 2000 & up. YEAH... another trophy for my Plum Crazy girl..... she deserves the hardware.

    The show was held in a community park that had 4 baseball fields & a nice winding paved walk around the fields. I did a 45 minute walk at the show. I was wearing sneakers...but let me tell you I could tell the difference. I do walk in my skeecers shape ups. At the show, I had danskins (from walmart).... nah, teh walk just wasn't the same.
    Also, we brought our healthy food to the show -- so no need to purchase the food there.

    Today, we went to the drag strip raceway. There was a car show for vintage cars & racing plus a swap meet. I LOVED THE RACING. It was awesome watching the 57 Chevys race the 70s Nova.....then see the 62 Vette go against an AMC..... Awesome, awesome, awesome.... There was no rhyme/reasoning in the line-ups.... Just how the drivers got in the line so it was a luck of the line who the vintage car drivers were racing against.

    Some of the cars in the race are street legal... have license plates. Some are just for the 1/4 mile strip. Some had beautiful custom paint jobs -- others just dull primer.... As hubby stated it don't need to look pretty to race - just needs to have a good engine.

    By golly, hubby and my vette freinds are making me a motor head!

    Today, we did bring our healthy food.... we did leisurely walk around the car show & swap meet area. Got myself two plum crazy chargers matchbox style....... If it's plum crazy & a charger, I buy it... year doesn't matter... I display my matchbox "collection" with my car at car shows.

    That's all for now..... here's to a good week for all1

    Miss V - enjoyed the show/race soo much on Sunday I'm planning to take my Cub Scouts (5th grade) to the same track for a similiar event next month. And it's a MOPAR event - that means I can enter my car in the show.... not the race.... well, I could if I REALLY WANTED TO......... but I don't have the safety helmet or the race car driver training.
    Wishing a speedy recovery for your injuries.

    Sindy - feel better soon.

    Sindy -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY to YOU.... I would sing... but this isn't the karoake bar.

    Hoping to get a jog or a walk at end of work day. Depending if a co-worker joins me is if I jog or walk. No curves tonight cuz it's back to school night for my daughters.

    She's hurt... wounded... devasted... Those that see me on FB -- will see the pics of my plum crazy on the flatbed being TOWED.
    Here's the kicker she was at the dealer yesterday for 24000 service. Now, back cuz she wouldn't shift out of park.

    So, I'm home... didn't drown my sorrows in food or beverage..... did only 1 walk. (that was before the car situation).

    Gotta drive the mommy mobile (10 yr old van) now.

    And I had such a good few days.....minor setback... minor... she'll be fixed.
    Thus, I wasn't at back to school night either.

    Kelly - feel better soon

    Thank you Jacque,
    That is a lot of work hope you get the plumbing fixed soon. I need to focus as well. Starting tomorrow no sweets again and some type of exercise everyday. It helps when I go over the reasons I want to loose weight. I want to feel better, no meds and be healthy. Those are the top three for me. I started this almost 3 years now, yes I am still not on meds for the diabeties and I have lost 27 pounds. But it is taking for ever, which I get very discouraged and of course I eat. That is the tough thing most of my eating habits are emotional or bordom. I just will remind myself everytime life throws things at me not to eat, it is only a temporary fix.

    Well we are here with you. You can do this, refocus :wink: :bigsmile:
