rose.....what a super job you are doing. keep up the great work :drinker:
shanell...good job. you have done great this week. keep up the exercise it does make a difference. 2#s is nothing to sneeze at. :bigsmile:
amylou...it's nothing. could be lots of things, don't worry about it, the stress might add more.....:flowerforyou:

me i lost a pound. i'll take it. off to the gym here shortly, been reading and hearing that you should eat some protein at least 45 mins before a workout, so your body will burn the fat and build the muscle. otherwise it will eat the muscle when it looks for food while working out. so just ate my breakfast and off soon.
good luck to everyone else.

later

so may i ask what every one is doing to lose weight

Are you eating? I know that sounds funny, but it does make a difference. You should be eating your exercise calories. I just follow the counting calories on this site and have lost about 12.5 lbs, but I have been playing around and bouncing up and down. But follow plan and it works. Hope this helps.

Girls, you have any other suggestions, chip in.

Later.

No weigh in for me today....I didn't think it was a good idea since I hadn't had a BM in 2 days....I guess I"m eating too much protein...not enough fiber....So I'll weigh in tomorrow....Congrats on all the loses!!!!

:laugh: I know I have this problem occasionally and it always seems to resolve itself AFTER my weigh ins!! :laugh:

GOOOOOD Morning gang! I'm down just over 2lbs this week :bigsmile: My ticker gets to move!!! SO exciting!

That feels so great. I can do this!

Lauryn, I think 0.5 to 1lb a week is a moderate goal, leaning toward the .5lb end. What about a massage?? Your body is holding so much stress and it could help physically work some of those hormones out of your tissues, PLUS feel really nice :happy:

Cass, good call. I'd do the same thing!

Shanell, I agree with your mom - 2# is nothing to sneeze at!!

Em, good work combating less-than-ideal nutrition with working out

Cathy, good work on a loss!

TudorRose, amazing work!!!

Well, I'm off for another fun day :bigsmile:

hmm rewards. I always go for a "free night out" with the girls aka no calorie counting... or if you want to avoid the food rewards... a new workout outfit, shoes, or (this is what I use to do...) put a dollar in a jar everyday you stay on track and then at the end of the challenge let your self spend it guilt free! :flowerforyou:

Lauryn, I just noticed your new pic... I didn't recognize you! Wowza!

I've been not doing too many personals lately, sorry everyone. Some days, I'm lucky I make it out of bed, at least I feel that way.

redsox....staying the same is sooooo much better than the gain.....take that puppy....
lauryn....how about a mani and pedi, or go to one of the spa places where you can get a massage for $40. can't remember the name now. shanell do you remember?
drtamm...check you stats. i think there is a booboo. if you lost great job.
pedal...super, movin' in the right direction.......
cass....yea, i have been having that trouble too. talking to doc about it next week.
ajasiak....yes, what are you eating? it does make up for most of the reasons why we lose and don't lose.

well, had a super workout, burned over 1000 calories. been listening to jillians podcasts while working out and she said she likes to keep people at 85% of the HR for 30 mins, at least 3 days a week. i have to work up to that amount, but, today i was between 80-85, i saw what a difference it made in the calories burned. she was also saying that if you had to choose between BMI and the scale. go with your BMI. that is what tells you if you are healthy. just because the scale is saying you still have 5-10-15 pounds to lose doesn't mean it will make you anymore healthy. a thin size 4 person can still be unhealthy. so that is what i think i will strive for. it made sense to me. and she said that cleaner eating is also a factor. those last few pounds could be the extra muscle you have built.

off to clean up and than think about lunch.....

later

love the dollar in the jar idea too. will have to begin that next challenge.....maybe an extra dollar on workout days too....hummmm

Putting a dollar a day in a jar might be the only way I can afford (budget) to do anything for myself :laugh: I do like this idea. I don't usually carry cash, so occasionally I will have to go to the bank and ask for $20 in ones. :huh:

And I think I'll take a spaghetti sauce jar, cut a hole in the lid (and smooth out the edges of that hole... safety first) and DECORATE my jar. Paint it or marker it or decoupauge it. Make it my pretty sparkly (oooh, glitter!) jar to motivate me (and also keep the contents hidden, because it's nice to be pleasantly surprised when opening a piggy bank).


Maybe I need to start "paying" myself for all my hard work.

$0.10 for having a happy day, smiling at others and being bright and encouraging
$0.25 for every day I work out (I work out religiously M-F during lunch)
$0.25 for every day I drink 8+ glasses of water.
$0.50 for every day I 'make' calories (within 100 +/-)
$1.00 for every day I run (at least 5 min+)

Yes, I think I like this idea. I think I need to go get a few rolls of quarters and a few rolls of dimes today (or Friday after work but before the bank branch closes).

What other "payments" should I add in?

hehehe....So this is what I'll do!

.25 for drinking 1 gallon of water a day
.50 for working out at least 45 mins
1.00 for "making" my calories (1200-1300)
.25 for washing my face and brushing my teeth at night. ( I know its weird, but I go to bed a lot of times without doing it and that needs to stop!)

So I could earn $2.00 a day! Over the course of the remaining 4 weeks that could be $56.00! Which is just right for when I reach my goal and buy my iPod Shuffle!! They are only about $50.00....

OH and I'll give myself $1.00 for each pound I lose!!!

Lauryn I love your idea of decorating the jar!! So even if its just you and me doing it...lets do it together!

Good afternoon ladies! Sorry I wasn't able to get on this morning...BUSY day at work! I've gained 1.5 pounds so far...this is crazy to me! But you should see my belly...definitely looks like there's something growing in there! :laugh: I promise to take pictures one of these days. Gonna have to go buy my first pair of maternity pants probably this weekend...CRAZY! I go back to the doctor tomorrow to hear the heartbeat and the normal checks. I'll let you know how everything goes. AND...as of today, I am out of the first trimester!!!!!!! YAY!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Anyways...back to some work for me. Hope you are all have a fabulous day!!!
