Good Morning all!!!
I tried to get this started a little earlier than last week, hope you're happy it's 6AM:grumble: here. Just kidding, I have to go check cows anyway:happy: . I'll let you know the baby count, when they start popping:laugh: .
Well I'm the same again, but after AF and yo-yoing almost 5 pounds because of it, I'm glad to be back at starting weight.
Hope everyone has a great day!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Christine - should we really be surprised? your a machine girl!!:laugh:

    Livi -- yay, I'm so glad for you. I know you were kinda in the same situation as me. You maintained for 2 weeks, right? Good job. Wow, 3 pounds AND you broke into the 100's, you must be so excited!!:bigsmile:

    Yeah, a 2 week maintian. I was super surprised when the scale read 199! I redid it like 4 times just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. :laugh:

    I'm kinda sorta keeping myself prepared for it to jump up a pound or so next week. It just seems like my weight does that sometimes. I'm still hoping it won't, though. But even if it does, I've still "hit a new low" so to speak, lol. :bigsmile:

    Yay Congrats! Breaking out of the 200's was a huge step for me. At first I didn't want to be to excited especially when I was 199. I went up to 201 and then back down. Now I am officially out of the woods so I never want to see 200 again.

    I am starting to feel like a freak of nature. Not that I am not excited about the weight loss, but I keep thinking it will taper off or slow down or that I will hit a plato. I have been lucky to keep it up. All I do is work out every day and eat my calories. That's it, I swear. MY husband can't believe how fast it is coming off of me. This happend the last time also. I lost like 60 lbs in 4 months. It was kinda crazy.

    congrats on everyone's great weight losses this week! I may not weigh in today... hormones are causing me to be a little constipated:blushing: (how do you whisper in email? I wanted to whisper that). Anyway, off to work, have a great day everyone!

    I do not eat anything super healthy. I eat carbs, I have candy, I have icecream, I have chocolate cake, I eat chips. I just stay in my 1500 calories. I do not eat my excercise calories because I was told not to by my doctor. OH yeah the other thing that I think really helps is that I do not eat after 7 pm. Also I eat three meals and 2-3 snacks.

    Also I thought it was cheesy at first but I wear a pedometer. It is not always completely accurate especially when I work out, but you should walk between 10,000 and 12,000 steps a day. At first even with all my walking I was only getting about 7,000 steps a day. I was surprised cause I walk almost everywhere. So I have made a point to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. That is something that is easy to change.

    Working out at least 5 times a week -- great. (We all know how far you've come in that area) No cheating on food -- Great. Not eating all your calories, not so great. Pep, you gotta eat hon:cry: . I know it's hard to get over the "I'm on diet so I can't eat that" thing, but you gotta eat. This journey we are all on isn't just about losing weight, it's about gaining a better understanding about the relationships we have to food. Those relationships don't have to all be bad, just modified or changed a bit. This is life-long healthy that we are striving for. I worry about you chicka:frown: . I know you said that you get full and feel yucky if you eat too much, that's understandable. Then eat healthy, but maybe more calories. You have turned a new leaf on exercise and (for me that was the toughtest) that's wonderful. It's something that will stay with you now that you've made it a habit. Now let's work on those calories. You body needs fuel! I think that would be a good challenge for you this week, to be creative and find new food choices that will fill your calories (of course this is completely up to you:smile: ). Let me know if I can help in any way.....K chicka?:wink:

    Well, I'm down 1 pound this week... I need to step it up a notch, but maybe I can put AAAALLLLL the blame on me being sick(ha-ha). I know I can do a little more cardio, and this week is also the beginning of my Phase 2 of P90X(so I'm starting my second month today!!!). I'll stop in later to check on everyone's progress!!!

    Seems like we're having a pretty strong week 6. Congrats to everyone! If you didn't hit a weight loss target you set for yourself don't get bummed. Just remember, you have spent another week excerising and learning to eat healthier. It will pay off in the end. everyone's body repsonds to changes differently. For some it's a slow process and for some it's happens quicker. You have to stay strong mentally. We are at a point where it would be real easy to quit if you weren't seeing the losses you wanted. I beg everyone to stay positive and lean on the rest of us here to get through the rough patches!

    ** Sorry for the motivational speech, I just felt like it was time for one!**

    I am down about a lb. I have been sick and haven't worked out since last thursday. I hate not being able to workout, but by the time I get home from work I feel horrible. I am trying not to take off any time now because I am planning on taking off at lest 3 weeks when our baby is born, so i want to save my off days best I can!

    Good for you Mister Sister... We're in the same boat... I forced myself to go play volleyball last night, because I knew it would make me feel a little bit better to start moving again... That's probably the only reason why I dropped one pound, too. Take it slow and easy, though-I tried to rush things when I was feeling lousy, and the only thing that happened was, I ended up feeling MORE lousy:sad:

    Don't beat yourself up over it. 7 lbs is a pretty good weight loss. It is a little over a 1lb a week. Even though that is not how it is working out. They really do say the slower you lose the better to keep it off. I would think of steping up your cardio a notch. Maybe jog or run some of your walk. Even if it is only 30 sec. It is better than nothing. I run walk run walk on the tredmil and that is the best workout. Your metabolism might just need a kick start. Also make you you are eating all your calories. Not sure if you are having more luck with that. Here's to a better week next week.
