morning:
well this was the weigh in to see if eating as close to the said caloriers made a difference. i ate within 200 or less to said calories. one day went way over. didn't change much in exercise. anyway the results are in.
lost drummmmmmm rolllllllllllllllllllllllll 4.2 pounds down.:drinker: :bigsmile: :laugh: :happy:
AND down 1 1/2 inches on bust & waist, down 2 inches on hips :bigsmile:
i only now have 7 more to lose to get to my stopped smoking weight. that is my biggest most first goal. i weighed 212 when doc said to quit. i gained 26#s doing that. i think i am 3#s from hitting this challenge goal. i don't remember my starting weight.
well, time to update my blog.
hope everyone has a great weigh in.

good luck everyone. check back later,

Good Morning All,
Katy & Cathy - WoW!!!! Big losses. You both are a great inspiration. Keep up the good work!
I am down another 2 pounds and very happy :happy: about that. I owe it all to our little group here that helps keep me on track. I am feeling good about this and can't wait til I weigh in again next week. I do have to admit I had set a goal of burning 3000 exercise calories last week and only actually did 1800. I think I will try it again, but only shoot for 2000 this week. This will be difficult since I have started my Anatomy & Philiology class right now and the homework & class will keep me extra busy. I also must drink at least 6 glasses of water a day; that will help keep me full. I have fallen off track with that lately.
I hope everyone else has a good weigh-in today.:happy:
Today:
1: coffee & cinnamon raisin english muffin
2: apple
3: not sure about lunch today
4: milk & kashi cookie
5: grilled cheese, veggie soup, & corn on cob
6: popcorn
Exercise: shred dvd or may try a new dancing with stars workout dvd0 -
Okay...here's the stats:
Week 1 171.5 pounds
Week 2 170.0 pounds
Week 3 169.0 pounds
Week 4 169.5 pounds
Week 5 168.5 pounds
Week 6 165.0 pounds
Week 7 165.0 pounds
Pre-vaca 164.5 pounds (Friday morning)
Week 8 ???? (chose not to weigh in)
Week 9 165.0 pounds
Week 10 166.0 pounds
Week 11 164.0 pounds
Week 12 163.5 pounds...down 1/2 pound. I'll take it!
Goal (after week 13): 151.5 pounds
Total lost: 8 pounds
Total remaining: 12 pounds
2 more weeks gals! 12 pounds in 2 weeks is probably not going to happen for me, but I am 8 pounds down since I started! That's something!!! I'm hoping to still see a nice loss in these next couple weeks! Another 5 pounds would be GREAT! I'll work REALLY hard!!!!
Katy, Cathy, AND Deb...Nice work!!!:drinker: I'm VERY proud! You girls are kicking butt!!! Can't wait to hear from everyone else!
My plan for the day:
Breakfast:
HomeMade Fruit/Yogurt parfait...(3/4 c. Whole Grain Total cereal lightly crushed, 1 AE YoLite yogurt, 1 c. strawberries), 8 oz. PlumSmart Lite juice, 1 multivitamin.
AM Snack:
2 c. coffee, 2 tbsp. sugar-free Vanilla Caramel creamer, 1 soft-baked Kashi TLC Baked Apple bar.
Lunch:
???--I still don't know where they are taking my for my farewell lunch today...so I will just be careful to make good choices.
Afternoon Snack:
I brought 1 med. apple and 1 Kashi TLC Pumpkin Spice Flax crunchy granola bar but depends on how much I have for lunch.
Dinner:
Left-over Black Bean Soup and a green salad with spritzer dressing.
PM Snack:
???--depends on calories remaining.
Exercise plan--45 minute Step class and 15 minute Ab workout.
So...I think today will be fine. Although I'm going out for lunch, I think I can make good choices, plus with my big cardio workout tonight, I know I will burn lots of calories! Let's talk goals...
Last weeks...
1. I'd like to lose another 2 pounds by next week...so weigh in at 162.
2. Avoid the scale again this week.
3. No more than one day of going over in calories...this gave good results this week...so I'd like to do it again!!!
I didn't do so great on these. I only lost 1/2 pound and I know I went over more than one day. But I did avoid the scale!:bigsmile: I like that goal!
For this week...
1. Lose 2 pounds...I really need to work hard! So...weigh in at 161.5.
2. Avoid the scale again.
3. Only one day going over in calories...focus, Kristin, FOCUS!
4. Plan meals each evening for the next day...will make it easier for this new job!
Okay...challenges this week...
1. Todays lunch...I WILL make good choices and not go overboard!
2. Tomorrow dinner...probably going out for the hubby's birthday...again I WILL make good choices!
3. Sunday dinner at in-laws...this is going to be the tough one! Need to make sure and get a workout in that morning!
So...that's where I stand for this week. I think my goals are realistic and the challenges can be overcome! I CAN DO IT!!!!!
Good luck girlies!!!!:flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning ladies! Happy weigh in day!
Ok. So last week was not good for me. I was up 3.8 pound due to TOM. This week I am down 4.2 pounds. I was able to loose it all plus a little. Just a little but it still counts! So I am only going to consider myself down .4 .
Today I am parent helper at school so no walk today. I will have to drag myself to the gym? Probably not. I also have WW Weigh in and something at 7pm. Some sort of party like Pampered Chef to go to. It is going to be a challenge to get some exercise in.
My food is not planned out at this point. I will get on that and be back to post it all!
Have a wonderful day!

Thats AWESOME cathy! You have the perfect mindset! I tend to do this most of the time.. Great job on your loss this week- that is HUGE!! Glad you figured out how to up it 0 -
Everyone has done well this week!! Great job everyone!
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
you guys are such ROCKSTARS!!! WOW....Each person who was worrried about weigh in LOST SOMETHING!!! nICE NICE JOB!!!
Me....:noway: .....I'm soooo mad :grumble: :explode:
I am at a solid 190.0 lbs this morning. I'm not mad that I gained .2 lbs...I'm mad because I have been working so hard, eating so good...and my clothes are bigger....I thought for sure I'd have a loss. I went home from the gym this morning and asked my husbad...brutally honest man....if I looked smaller...he said yes. So I don't know. He said its because I'm replacing fat with muscle...blah blah...I know that is partly true...but I'm not replacing pounds of fat with pounds of muscle....anyways. I'm trying not to get discouraged and I'm TRYING to chalk it up to what happens to the contestants the second week on biggest loser....very little happens the second week...and this was officially my second week being 100% comitted....
SO.....I'm not devastated....just cranky.
BUT SOOOO HAPPY FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to continue to workout...cause it makes me feel strong....I'm going to continue to eat well...because it makes me feel healthy...and I'm going to continue down this path....because its good for my future.
The pounds will come if I stay committed.....
Ok. I feel better. :blushing:0 -
I really want to join your group...so even if you are closing this out...keep me in the loop.0

Well, I hate to break the streak but I'm up this week :grumble: I'm not going to keep weighing or anything, but if I did I sort of suspect I would see my weight go back to last week's over the next day or 2. I ended up having a high-sodium day yesterday as well (I need groceries!!) and historically I know that usually adds 1 to 3lbs the next day. I almost didn't weigh-in this morning but decided I'd just roll with it. It also may be TOM approaching (I don't know because my body is still getting back into the swing of things after having my son. The 1st and 2nd time were about 2 months apart so it may not be TOM for another month.. or less.. lol who knows!) So here are my stats now:
week 1: 201lbs
week 2: 197.6 lbs
week 3: 195.0lbs
week 4: 194.8lbs
week 5: ?
week 6: 189.6lbs
week 7: 187.2lbs
week 8: 184.4lbs
week 9: 183.4lbs
week 10: 184.2lbs
wekk 11: 180.6lbs
week 12: 182 lbs
Cathy, deb, Katy, Kristin, Amy, Cass... YAY!!! You ladies are doing GREAT!! Keep up the good work :flowerforyou:
Kristin, you'll work through your obstacles this week no problem!
Cathy, enjoy the Chinese food! Good for you for working it off first!
Amy, congrats on seeing a loss - feels great eh??
I haven't planned my meals yet for today and my kiddos are pesting each other so I must run for now!! Let's kick butt this week ladies!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
I really want to join your group...so even if you are closing this out...keep me in the loop.
Fabulous!! Welcome :flowerforyou: We're starting another group right after this one, 'Sexy in Six' to get us through to USA Thanksgiving then another for over the holidays. You are starting where I was as far as amount to lose goes. Let me tell you, it can be done!!! I've been at this for just shy of 4 months and I'm down 36lbs in that time. This is a great group and we'll be happy to support you in your journey!!0 -
Rhiannon...it's okay...it WILL come off. You're totally right...I'm sure you're up because of the high sodium. No worries! You'll jump right back on track...you're always SO good!:flowerforyou:
Cass...you WILL see the numbers go down as well. And your hubby is right...I'm sure you're gaining some muscle. Try not to get too discouraged. It will turn around!:flowerforyou:
danledford...Join us! We'd be happy to have you! We have only 2 weeks left in this challenge but jump in! Tell us a bit about yourself and your goals and set a small goal you'd like to accomplish in the next two weeks. We check in daily with our meal plan and exercise plan. We start a new thread on Tuesdays and that is our weigh in day. We will be starting the Sexy in Six Challenge on October 14th with a goal of losing 15-20% of our remaining pounds to lose within a six week period...takes us up to the Tuesday before US Thanksgiving. We'd LOVE to have you! Just let us know if you don't understand, otherwise I hope to hear a little about you!!!:bigsmile:0 -
:flowerforyou: Thanks Kristin... ....lol I feel better....I honestly feel like I'm moving in the right direction even if the scale isn't cooperating.
I did Shred lvl 1 again last night and it was still VERY hard, but I did better with it than the first time and I feel stronger...don't know how that can be after only 2 times...but hey its Jillian and she kicks butt!! lol I went to the gym this morning and burned 396 calories....today is going to be weird with the food because its month end and I'm going to be pretty stressed out! hahaha....I hope I don't eat too much.
Welcome Danledford!!! TOTALLY JOIN IN!! We are SOOOOOO FUN! hahahahhaha
ok, breakfast sandwich (healthy) down...coffee down....the rest of the day is planned to look like this...
cottage cheese, apple
Chicken Caesar wrap
yogart and carrots
Dinner...maybe chicken fajitas or some sort of pasta thing with chicken...I am not sure yet...OH maybe chicken with broccilli and garbonzo beans in linguini....I haven't had that in a long time....
Protein shake with banana and raspberrys.
Smootches to my Ladies!0 -
Just had my cottage cheese and apple...STILL HUNGRY!!!!
I think because I'm working out WAY more than I used too my metabolism is reving up...which is weird for me to say considering that I didn't lose any weight last week...I think maybe I need to eat a little bit more....
hmm...I'll ponder that...
I told my best friend about MPF and she just called me and told me she created a profile last night. heheheh HOW COOL!!!0 -
OMG...the Chinese buffet they took me to for lunch TOTALLY won!:explode: :explode: :explode: SO...today is for SURE my one day over this week! ARGH!:explode: :explode: :explode: Why do I do this???? BUT...I AM going to the gym tonight and will burn off whatever I can. But I ate a LOT...lots of veggies but LOTS of dessert...that is where I went wrong. Had I stopped after the meal, I wouldn't be so bad...but my darn sweet tooth gave in and I totally over did it! :explode: :explode: :explode: What a crappy start to this week...oh well...all week to recover I suppose...
Cass...Yay for your friend! She should totally join our group!!!0 -
Kristin, dont worry abou it! You will burn it off. The thing about it is , this is real life and we will go out to dinner , or have a trade show(Pedal), or have days where we just cant get the exercise in (myself). That is why , the way we are taking off our pounds is going to keep them off for good!
I have not had lunch yet. Not sure what to eat. I did have asian pears at my little one's school today. One of the parents is an organic farmer and brings in asian pears every day. I love those things! Yummy!
I may go and do 30 Day Shred LVL 1 right now. Then some lunch.
Cass- your friend really needs to join in! She will love it here!
Amy0 -
Hi Everyone,
Cathy, How do you burn so many calories during one workout? I can't even come close to that.
Dandleford, Welcome to a great group. This is the place for the right motivation.
Pedal, Glad you decided to weigh in anyway.
Kristen, OK so you had a free day. You can still be a "loser" next week if you get right back on track.
Amy, Good job on losing 4.
Cass, You must have lost inches. Have you measured? The weight will follow.
I made a mini sub on 1/2 of a wheat roll for lunch today. It was very tasty and low in cals. I think I will do that a little more often.
Have a great afternoon everyone.:flowerforyou:0 -
Okay...now they brought me a cake!:grumble: Gotta love them!0
-
Oh man Kristin...lol...Good luck with that!! I would have SUCH a hard time. They are just tyring to be sweet...but don't get suckered into a BIG piece...:noway:
Amy and Kristin---I'll totally tell Ang about this group...but to be honest I don't see her as a forum type person...don't know why...I hope she prooves me wrong! It would be awesome to have her here. :glasses:
Deb....first off...that mini sub sounds AWESOME!!! Second, no...I'm kicking myself for not measuring, but I didn't. Perhaps I'll measure tonight...that way when I don't lose in the future I can take a look at measurements and be happy.
My hubby....:smooched: :smooched: ...he just called and told me how proud he was of me for working so hard. He knew I was a little bummed today and wanted me to not get down on myself. ....he said "Cassidy, I notice a difference...its all....tightening up." hahahaha ....yesterday when I was doing Shred, he was like...."Look at that *kitten*"...hahaha...he really REALLY likes my booty. I'm curvey even at 150, I've got T and A...its just smaller and higher...LMOA!!
So...Hubby gets big time brownie points...hmm...he might even get some tonight...LOL...:laugh:0 -
Cass....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You are TOO funny! What a sweetie your hubby is! TOTAL brownie points!!!! My hubby...not so much, but he totally means well, just doesn't say it. Anywho...I only had a small piece of cake so they didn't feel bad about buying it for me. I'm taking it home for the hubby to mouw down! He'll love it and totally isn't worried about calories so he can have it! And to tell you the truth, having it in the house is no problem because I don't even really like birthday cake (yes I'm weird!) but unless it's whipped cream frosting, I'm not a big fan! Well...my last day and I'm sad. I'm seriously going to miss my co-workers. But it's the same company so I can still see them!
Well...gonna go chat with some people for the remainder of the day. Then to the gym. And THEN maybe to the mall for a while...we will see...
Have a good afternoon ladies!0 -
Kristin, good for you for just having a little piece.
Cass, nice that your DH thought to actually SAY it to you! Mine is great with that stuff too. Always makes sure he tells me how proud he is particularly when I'm having a bad day.
So, I've blown it today. I need to get out of weekend trade show junk food mode!! I'm with you Kristin, this will be my one day that I'm over on calories! And to add insult to injury, I'm baking bread today (apricot and anise bread!!) and of course I'm still going to have a piece when it's warm out of the oven. Fortunately I'm getting to a step class tonight which isn't one of my regular ones so I'll have an extra work out this week. I think when you eat like crap for a couple of days you get that sluggish feeling and you're also more hungry. Bad combo. I'll bust out of this! After my bread. lol Can youi guys beat me up a little please??? 0 -

Hey gals! I am home from a great workout...hopefully burned off lots of those calories I ate, but I know I'm still over. I am planning my meals the day ahead from now on...I think it will work better for me with this new job. That way I can post in the evenings the day before...we'll see how it goes. Here's the plan for tomorrow:
Breakfast:
1 c. Multigrain Cheerios, 1/2 c. skim milk, 10 red raspberries, 1 med. banana, 8 oz. PlumSmart Lite, 1 multivitamin.
AM Snack:
Kashi soft-baked TLC Baked Apple bar...I'll have to see how my breaks happen...no idea yet. AND not sure if I'll get my coffee in or not. I'm hoping to just grab a cup a work if I'm doing paperwork and what not in the morning...or I might take some with...we'll see.
Lunch:
Turkey and Cheese sandwich, 14 baby carrots, diet coke, AE YoLite yogurt.
Afternoon Snack:
1 med apple, Kashi TLC Pumpkin Flax crunchy granola bar.
Dinner:
Not sure yet...depends on what hubby wants to do for his birthday. We will see.
Exercise plan-- HOPEFULLY my normal 1/2 hour run and 1 hour BodyPump...but again depends on the hubby. So...I'll report tomorrow.
Good night my girlies and I'll check back tomorrow evening!!0 -
Kristin, good luck at the new job tomorrow!!!
I won't be coming on in the morning but here are my meals for tomorrow:
1: rolled oats w/ flax, agave and peanut butter
2: vegetable stir fry w/ brown rice and peanut sauce
3: 1 slice Ezekiel bread w/ peanut butter, 1 apple, vanilla ice cream protein shake
4: post work-out protein shake, 1 bowl 7 bean soup, mixed green salad w/ olive oil & vinegar
5: air popped popcorn and 1c steamed peas (I love peas and my sodium was too LOW so I had to add this to boost it up over 500mg :noway: )
Tomorrow I have a step class - the good one - and sadly my best friend is leaving. But it will be back to the routine which should be good in its own right.
I need to give my little ones some uninterrupted time so I am going to try not to check in tomorrow. Don't want to be on the computer. Make Wednesday a GREAT day everyone!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning ladies!
Well, I went to Weight Watchers last night and had a wonderful weigh in. So I thought I was up 3.8 last week. I was only up 3.2, and this week I lost 4.8!!!!!!! So on top of loosing all of the gained weight I also lost 1.6 pounds! Yahoo!
Total pounds lost 4.4!
I cant remember what goal I set for myself? 10 pounds? I dont think I will get there in 2 weeks but I could. Who knows. I am going to give it a try.
Today is long walk day! Hopefully 7 to 9 miles. Food is going to be a challenge as I need to go to the grocery store. Hoepfully I can do that this evening.
Hope all of you have a good day!
Amy0
