208 LBS TO 206 LBS

GO GREEN GO GREEN GO GREEN! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I'm sooooo upset - I gained back the 2 pounds I lost:sad: :sad:
I don't understand what's going on? I've been working my butt off since the last weigh-in (with the exception of yesterday). I haven't been going over my calories - I wonder if eating the exercise calories has something to do with it?
I guess I'll have to start over today and push myself even harder
Does anyone have any advice??

Thank you for your words of encouragement wannabeflaca:flowerforyou:
I'll try to use your advice with snacking on the veggies, even though I haven't been snacking after dinner. I've been using my exercise calories to eat a little more at dinner so I don't have to snack at night.
I guess I'm really gonna have to push myself this week to see if I can get that rotten scale to move in the direction I want it to go

GREAT JOB to everyone this week (except me )

Good morning / afternoon everyone! Im so excited for all of you.... you all did super terrific this week! I really need to get on the ball. No loss not gain for me this week so Im holding on I guess. I kinda figured this because I did not get the excercise in that I needed. This week I think I did pretty good with the calories though. Im kinda looking at this as getting the education I need and learning how my body REALLY reacts to my behaviors.
The last two weeks have been really eye opening for me especially now that I am recording EVERYTHING that goes in. I really was a 'blind' eater. A little of this and a little of that I never thought would make such a difference, but it helps now knowing how many calories are in this and that LOL. Im also seeing how much perhaps stress plays on a body. This last week has been really tough for me with the kids. I think I will call my mom today an appologize for torturing her when I was a teen.
Ive also been looking at myself and trying to figure out what has been going on with me to gain so much weight. I know Ive gained ALOT over the last 3 years. Well its a no-brainer for me. In the last three years I quit smoking, my dad passed away and my entire family left everything up to me to deal with even though Im the baby ( but IM not bittler lol) , my ex and I have also been in court for three years, my kids turned into teenagers - yikes! Well now I feel like just slapping myself and saying " well, no duh Lisa ! " ( do you think Im an emotional eater? LOL--yes!) Its time to put everything behind me and put ME first. I really really really want to 'lighten up' so I can get excited to go to Mexico. Ohhh I so much want to stop looking at myself in such a negative light and the great thing is.... I have all the power!! That part feels great... I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! This can be fixed! This is 'do-able'
Next wed weigh in Im absoluetely shooting for a 1-2 lb loss which I think is reasonable for me. Last week I lost 3 so Im not going to beat myself up for not loosing this week. My body is simply adjusting. Yeah!
You are all so terrific and I love reading about all of your successes.... you all give me so much strength! Thanks for listening :flowerforyou:

velvet, I so relate to wanting to call mom and appologize. I actually did that when my daughter was 10 and it felt so good. It put our relationship on a whole new level. I say, if you feel you need to do it then do it. You won't be sorry:flowerforyou:

Loser4real..... Are we reporting results to you now? sorry I thought we were reporting to 2ndfire.
I think I missed a memo somehere LOL Just let me know so I can get it to the right person for next week

Velvet- last week n2dfire asked me if I could take over the spreadsheet since he didn't have time to devote to it, so I agreed. He's still our fearless leader--I'm just helping out.

So I'm recording the weights as I see them posted on this thread and will send n2dfire the completed spreadsheet. He will report the final numbers on the BL thread where all the teams report in, plus he'll post a copy here for us all to see the team's progress like he did last week. Does that make sense?

Ahhhhhhhh got it! Well thank you to both of you then for all of your hard work !

n2 and Loser, do you want us to pm Loser instead of n2?

OK, I need some help. I didn't eat breakfast or morning snack because I just wasn't hungry:embarassed: For lunch I had a six inch Subway turkey and american cheese sandwich on wheat with mustard, lettuce, spinach, tomatos, pickles and carrots and a bag of their sliced apples. I'm eating my afternoon snack right now of a Yoplait Light Fat Free Very Cherry Yogurt and a tangerine. I have a Pure Protein High Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar for after my work out/drive home and for dinner I have scheduled the other six inch turkey sandwich (I always buy a footlong so I can split it into two meals).

The problem is that even with everything logged that I just told you, I have only reached 989 calories (and I haven't even touched my exercise calories:grumble: ) I am not hungry and feel like I'm eating just to eat.

What should I do

183lbs. Dont ask me how today was my first day to work out since thursday and haven't been watching my calories like i should.

Hang in there Bonniejo!! If you are still hungry try to grab something healthy...carrots..veggies. :flowerforyou:

Love Joy good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great loss this week, keep it up!

GO GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahaha Normal food....silly goof what is that....we are all eating normal food....that other stuff is yucky food that we occasionally have to try just to confirm we like healthy food........YAY for you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO GREEN!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Laura. I just joined the team. Thanks for having me. I've lost 9.2 lbs since 1/14.

Good morning green beans! We're in a brand new week so let's keep on plugging through. Y'all are doing a great job and you are definitely helping to keep me to stay on track. So thank you!

Those are great goals, Christie. I especially need to heed #1.

It's only 9:40am here and I'm alreay starting to have some salty-chippy-crunchy cravings. I can stay away from ooey gooey desserts, cookies, cakes, etc. But chips I struggle with. I've actually done okay overall since I started eating healthier back in September (before I could eat half a bag of Doritos without even thinking about it). I've pretty much substituted those processed foods with healthier alternatives like baby carrots, etc. Sometimes, though, the craving kicks in and I have to have some. But I did manage to find some healthier brands so I can have a few of those to assuage the cravings. Plus I've gotten a lot better about portion control so I'm no longer mindlessly eating half a bag.

Oh the struggles we face. :grumble:
