    Hey Everyone,

    Pedelhound: Awesome pics... way to go... what an inspiration.

    Well... I sucked it up last night and paid for my gym membership. The guy was really nice and knocked off two months that I owed when I told him that because of recent medical issues I really need to focus on my health. Never meant for him to do that. I think someone else was looking out for me and sending me a message.

    I am not going to weigh in till tomorrow. I am up 2 pounds but I think with the new meds that I am on it makes me so bloated.

    Today..

    Breakfast: cup of cherrios with skim milk

    Snack: one apple and toast with 1 tbs of pb

    Lunch: I am suppose to meet with my swim team to introduce them to their new coach at a Mexican Rest. .... Ummmmm I know that I can't hold back... mexican food is my weakness. I think that I am going to stop by and say hi then go to the gym to swim!!! Yep, that is what I am going to do!!! So I think that I am going to get a soup and salad from Panera Bread or go to subway.

    PM snack: I may pick up a small protein shack or snack

    Dinner: 1 cup of Dirty rice with lean ground beef side of spinich and if I go to the store to pick up stuff for a salad.

    Hope everyone has a great day. I can't wait to get back to work... one more week. I am going to miss my little man but it will be nice to not have all the temptations.. since I eat when I am board.

    Good morning everyone!!!

    Im down 4lbs this week..YAY! I worked my butt off last week!

    Soo..week 5 check in weight: 222!! :smooched:

    week 4-226/week 3- 229/week 2-233/week 1- 238.8

    total loss as of week 5: 16.8lbs!!! :drinker:

    I set mini goals on my profile, and Ive got to my first one early! YaY! And Im only 2lbs away from my 2nd mini goal..woohoo!!

    Today:
    breakfast: protein bar
    lunch: ?
    dinner: ?
    snacks: fiber water mix, strawberries
    exercise: Not sure yet

    I will be going to visit my grandfather at the hospital today so Im not sure if I will have time for exercise, depending on how long im there. Also not sure of meals beyond breakfast- but I will take a protein bar with me down there and eat a salad if we go anywhere down there.

    So I hope everyone has a great check in day, and if you are up a lil, dont get discouraged! We still have over half this challenge to go still!! :heart: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    katyk08..when you go to the hospital, park a little farther away and get in a little walk, and maybe climb a flight or two of stairs. this way you can get in some exercise. if you are there for lunch walk around the outside of the hospital. every little bit helps.
    hope your grandfather gets better.

    Okay, so here's the stats:

    Week 1--171.5
    Week 2--170.0
    Week 3--169.0
    Week 4--169.5
    Week 5--168.5
    Goal (by week 13)--151.5
    Total lost--3 pounds
    Total remaining--17 pounds

    SO...if I stay at this rate, I will NEVER lose the 20 in 13 weeks!:explode: But I will take the .5 pound loss since last week I wasn't really "behaving" and had some off days. Plus, this weekend wasn't THAT great either. SO...okay...

    But...I need to get on it! We have 9 weeks left (counting week 13) so let's think...I need to lose 2 pounds a week from now on to reach my goal! :noway: We will see how it goes. Plus...little nervous already for Labor day weekend. We will be at a house on Lake of the Ozarks from Friday until Tuesday and although I can help plan meals, we are going with two other couples and staying with a friends uncle, so meals will be for ALL of us. I'm gonna try and go running in the mornings...that should help. I had set a Labor Day goal of 162 pounds...that would mean losing 6.5 pounds in the next 3 weeks. I'm gonna work hard...and just MAYBE...

    Enough on me....PEDALHOUND....AMAZING!!!! You look FABULOUS!!!! Congrats on the WONDERFUL accomplishment!!! Keep it up girl!!!!!:drinker:

    Everyone else, have a FABULOUS Tuesday and a GREAT start to a new week!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    SO...I'm gonna start trying something...setting weekly goals for myself. Maybe it will further help motivate me to do better. My goals for this week:

    1. Lose 2 pounds (weigh in at 166.5 next Tuesday).
    2. Take measurements--this may help me.
    3. Bump up my running speed a bit.
    4. Avoid ice cream temptations...I have a HUGE bucket of ice cream in my freezer...last night I ate spoonfulls from the container...BAD BAD KRISTIN!!!!!

    So, if anyone would like to join me in setting mini weekly goals, feel free. I just think it would be good. Especially since I seem to be keeping up with the constant goals I've set--cardio 5 X week for 30 minutes, weights 2 X week for 1 hour, multivitamin every day! Yay! I CAN DO IT!!!!!!:bigsmile:

So...I may not post until a little later, depending on when I get up. And...am eating at my parents for lunch and dinner...so hopefully no major challenges for the day. But...I will check back that evening as well!

    Have a great night of sleep my friends! I'll talk to you in the A-M!!!!:heart:

    hey!
    well yesterday i didnt get any exercise, except for walking around the hospital a little bit.
    I didnt have lunch, but I ate a grilled ckn salad and then when I got home late last night I ate 3 bites of steak that was cooked for dinner that I missed.

    Today I am just way lazy! :yawn: I had to be at my school early to rearrange my schedule, and I stayed up late from being at the hospital. Im not sure if I will exercise today, Im going to try to motivate myself. If not I will just use yesterday and today as my rest days!!

    So meals so far..
    Bfast: protein bar, bottle h20
    lunch: turkey chz sandwich and fat free light pringles, baby carrots
    dinner: planning on a small salad with tomatoe and baby carrots and thats proly it!
    snacks: strawberries, fiber water

    if i can motivate myself to get out and exercise Ill do about 30min on treadmill and 30 min on exercise bike maybe...

    Oh and I was pleasantly surprised yesterday..at the hospital the family that was there was really impressed with my weight loss and noticed a big difference. I wore a pair of black pants and a shirt that is kind of fitted that Ive had for awhile and has been too small for over a year and it now fits..and actually shows that Ive lost weight. I guess it really does matter what you wear when it comes to being able to tell if youve lost weight..I saw my family not even 2 weeks ago and noone noticed that I had lost weight at all!! I gave props to this site and my dad and his wife and possibly my cousin may check this out now ;)

    Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day!!

    Good Morning Everyone!!!

    I loved being back at work yesterday. No temptations or grazing either:drinker:

    Kristin ... I really love the idea of mini goals. I made one yesterday and accomplished it. You feel more success knowing that you can acheive.

    Katy... Your weight loss keeps me going. I am so inspired by the numbers that keep dropping. Way to go!!!

    I didn't get to weigh in yesterday so I did it this morning and I am down a pound!!!! I am know at 214 in week five:bigsmile:

    I have no meal plan today yet. I have to go work in my room but my goal is not to go to any fast food.

    Have a great day everyone and I will check back later.

    I flaked off on this because it wasn't working for me. I lost only 1 pound! I'm doing everything in my power to get it going, but nothing seems to be working.

    I think i hear diet pills calling me.

    Morning! Where is everyone?? I hope all is well. Last night was fine...I ate some ice cream though :blushing: but stayed within my calories for the day. Tonight we're going back to the Iowa State Fair for a Tracy Lawrence and Blake Shelton concert (country fan here) and I can't promise that I won't have any beverages! But I will try and be good. AND I'm heading to the gym after work for an hour on the elliptical. Here's the meal plan for the day:

    Breakfast:
    single pack of cinnamon roll oatmeal, 1/2 c. canteloupe, 1 Capri Sun juice box, 1 multivitamin.

    AM Snack:
    2 c. coffee, 2 tbsp. sugar free Vanilla Caramel creamer, soft-baked Kashi TLC blackberry graham bar.

    Lunch:
    1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese, 5 wheat ritz crackers, 14 baby carrots, 2 tbsp. fat free Dill dip, AE YoLite yogurt, diet coke.

    Afternoon Snack:
    1 med. apple, 2 chocolate crunch rice cakes, Nature Valley Pecan Crunch granola bar.

    Dinner:
    HomeMade salad with spritzer dressing, ????NO IDEA WHAT ELSE YET!!!!

    PM Snack:
    I'm sure beverages at the fair.

    Exercise plan--1 hour elliptical, walking at the fair.

    SO...tonight shouldn't be too damaging. And tomorrow I'm planning on forcing myself to get up early and make it to spinning class which I missed last week!

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!! Have a FANTASTIC Friday!!!!:drinker:

    popping in to say hi... just got back from a few days of camping (not too sure I want to step on the scale tomorrow... it's been a RIDICULOUS few days for me :grumble: ) and my mother is still visiting so I'm not checking in online much. Just enough time to track my food when I'm home. I need to write down some even shorter-term goals to get myself back on track!!!

    micro goals for me:

    - no eating anything after supper unless I have lots of cals to eat up (and I have to get those in more than 2 hours before bed)
    - ...gotta run! I'll think of more specifics for later!!

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend!! :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone!!

    Its been a few days since Ive been on, Ive been super busy!! Grandfather in the hospital, got a new kitten, getting ready to start school again tomorrow, and watching my niece and nephew all day and evening today!! WHEW!!:noway:

    So I havent been logging my calories, and this past week the only day I officially exercised was Monday! I have been doing alot of walking, and I used the stairs whenever I could at the hospital. Ive been watching what I eat even though I havent logged it.

    I still have some shopping to do still today- who knows if I will be able to get it done with a 3, 4, and 6 year old tagging along!! Fun fun day ahead lol..

    Anyway, I may not have time to get on tonight..scratch that- I KNOW I WONT have time to get on here tonight lol. I should have time tomorrow evening Im thinking.

    Tomorrow I will start using the gym thats on campus at school- which means I will start doing some weight lifting about 3x/week- maybe 4. I see faster results with 4 days/week!!

    So our new kitten is so adorable, we got him from the local animal shelter! The shelter told us it was a girl...but took it to the vet and it is a BOY lol. So that was fun tryin to explain to my 4 yr old why the cat wasnt a girl anymore. His name is Max, kudos to my daughter for picking his new name!

    My grandfather is doing alot better - he ended up having to have surgery, but we dodged a bullet in the fact that what they found was NOT cancer like they originally thought!! :smile: He is looking better everyday and they think he will go home this Thursday possibly! :bigsmile:

    So, I hope everyone has a GREAT day today and tomorrow..Im not sure what my meals will be today - protein bar or shake and maybe soup/sandwich. I wont get any official exercise but I will be walking around alot today I believe..Soo I cant wait to start my routine tomorrow!! Have a good one :flowerforyou:

    Ok everyone....Man am I tired. I went back to work last week!!!! I love my job, I am a special education teacher. Well, this was going to be my first year to just teach... no coaching:drinker: I have been a swim coach for the last ten years. Well Thursday Morning I walked into the office to get some paper work and the principal stopped me and asked me for a favor. She said that they were in bind and needed a Coach until they could find another one. This isn't for swimming though.... it's for Tennis:huh: I know nothing about Tennis... I don't even know how to keep score:ohwell: She knows that but their first match is this coming Tuesday and how could I say No. I am such a sucker. Anyone out there know how to coach Tennis? I could really use some help!!!!

    That is why I haven't been keeping up with checking in. I have been trying to watch what I eat. Breakfast has been healthy everyday. Lunch ... well I have had to grad and go. I picked up just a Roast beef sandwhich Friday and then Thursday just a cheesburger. No Fries!!!! That was hard. I have had plenty of water considering I am outside in the Heat. Dinners have been farely healthy too. We went for Mexican food Friday night and I ate Fajatas.

    Hope that everyone is successful and I will talk to you all tomorrow or Tuesday.

    Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon.

    Hey All!!

    Wow, Im just socked!! I had a very long day yesterday, then again today. I didnt go to the gym today, didnt have time. I am going tomorrow though after my psych class..its end at noon and I dont have lab on Tuesdays sooo I have a couple of hours I can spend at the gym, yay! Then I will be picking up my daughter and going down to see my grandfather! He is improving so much every day! Its great!!

    So Today food wise..

    Bfast: protein shake
    Lunch: protein bar
    Dinner: salad @ ryans, 2 bites crab salad and 2 bites of a brownie and caramel sauce.
    Exercise: None officially, but I did walk around campus like 3x and up and down some stairs as well as the long walk to where I parked! Gotta count for somethin!!

    So new week tomorrow and update on weight!! I dont know if I lost any this past week, and I may have actually gained one or two- though I hope not!! But its all good, I will make up for it this week and tomorrow I will start busting butt at the gym- and Im adding weight training in so I think this will make some more difference as well : )

    I went and bought a cute outfit at Express (my all time fav store) and 3 pair of jeans as motivation!!! When I was eating dinner at Ryans tonight, I kept thinking about those clothes..hence why only 2 bites of crab salad and only 2 small bites of brownies with caramel ;) Im so proud of myself.. and I didnt feel like I was starving myself or cutting myself off because I did get to have some..not a whole bowl, but enough to cure my craving...and I havent been hungry since we ate!! So YAY :) I am realizing I CAN control myself when eating out, and I CAN eat things other than salads- its just in moderation!! Im just loving this site and everyone on it.. you guys are so supportive and it really does help..Thanks guys so much!!

    I hope you all had a great weekend and I'll post in the morning before I am out for the day and I'll read you guys' updates tomorrow evening!!

    **TINA** Thank you so much for thinking of my grandfather, I really appreciate it!! :) He is getting better every day and should be able to go home this week!! :)

    Goodnight all!!
