    Well, after having Subway for lunch, not nearly enough water and waaaayy too much pizza for dinner last night, I was down a pound from yesterday's weigh-in :noway:

    So, maybe after my gluttonous day at the fair today (seriously, I was horrible!) I'll drop another pound or two tomorrow morning! :laugh:

    Kim - I'm sorry, but I'm confused.....all of us in the 170's are now trying to be the first into the 150's? Is that right? Either way, I'm in!

    Yes, someone wanted a contest for the 70s...but, we are all over the board from 171 to 178...so, I chose the 150's to kind of even it out for everyone...it's the best I could come up with :ohwell:

    Sara, I think that's part of your problem is too low calories consistently. Obviously, I don't know for certain. But, I think that you need to shake things up every once in a while. I read in Self magazine that you should be at 1600 calories a day to lose weight and meat all your nutritional needs. So, I've changed to that for the contest and it's working out OK so far.

    That might be it. The last month or two that I've been plateaued I've been eating all of my calories and my exercise calories so I was usually eating in excess of 2000+ cals/day. But, maybe you're right, maybe my net was still too low. I'll give this zig-zagging a go for a couple weeks and see how that works out for me.

    Hey all. Just wanted to check in quick. I we just got to our house in MD (we live in MI 1/2 the time & MD 1/2 the time due to hubby's job). Once we got here we realized our internet isn't working (I'm on my phone right now), I forgot my scale at or house in MI and I found my stash of Ghiradelli caramels I forgot I had in the freezer here. I have had a horrible weekend eating-wise. We've been traveling since Saturday morning. Back at it in the morning! Hope you all had a good weekend!

    Sunday's weight looked good after all the wine I was a bit dehydrated so the scale showed under 170 but way back up this morning. I know if I eat clean I will be fine.

    Robin, I was curious if you were going to hit the 160's this week (sooooo jealous). Ron is down 1.4 so far this week and plans to be in the one-derland for weigh-in.

    I was up 2lb today; but, know I am holding water from working all weekend. I'm just going to keep clugging the water and eating clean. I was hoping for a 1.8 lb loss and think I might just have to settle for anything at this point.

    I plan to start exercising tonight. I haven't been doing that and need to start. Just 30 minutes of elliptical, I don't need my muscles to hold water as well with a bunch of strength training. But, this girls got to shake things up.

    Sara, wipe off your chin, put away the chocolate and count that as a zig-zag day!!!

    Faith, Heather and Connie...hoping that your not on-line because you are cooking healthy meals and working out

    I've been offline because I'm dying of a plague. My whole house is sick and on antibiotics now.... even one of my cats was perscribed kitty antibiotics from the vet today.... :frown: Plus this week is my last week of my first grad class...I thought our paper/powerpoint/webcast were all due on Sunday night, but they are actually due Friday... so I'm just super busy this week. I miss you guys and I'll try not to fall off the planet too bad this week. Next week life slows down a lot for me and then I'll be back to stalking the boards. :flowerforyou:

    Grrrrr...weight is up today...it's definitely water weight in my legs from working this weekend. When I work, I don't drink anything & ^ sodium foood from the cafeteria twice = ^ sodium retention.

    I really, really wanted wine last night and I didn't do it.

    Final Push:

    1) 1200 calories
    2) 12 - 8oz cups of water
    3) 30 minutes of exercise

    triple berries (black, rasp, blue & peach yogurt) & Almonds, Spinach salad with strawberries & almonds, no dinner plan yet.

    Yesterday Sam's club and Kowalski's = $250.00 and I didn't even get to Rainbow for their specials. What will Ron and I do with all our money when the kids are gone?

    Finally got the internet back. Didn't do very well yesterday, but am doing awesome today. Chugging water - some hot with lemon, some cold. Eating clean for the most part (I did snag some of my son's quesadilla at lunch), and just trying to flush my body of all the nastiness I've been feeding it. And trust me, it's not happy with me right now.

    Sara, you don't need to chug water unless your urine is concentrated....the hot lemon water is a nice diruetic tho...I just learned if you use a water softener that it adds sodium to the water. :ohwell:

    Oh, well that's good to know :happy:

    It definitely was concentrated, but it's not anymore!

    Hi, all. I feel the need to apologize for not really trying the last few weeks. That certainly isn't fair to all of you. So I wanted to let you know that I woke up today feeling like a newly energized person looking to get back on track. I will NOT let you down any longer! I'm ready to rock the house! Ha!

    Robin, I hope you nail those 160s this week...it will be awesome

    I hope that you can CMA this week. I have a lot of eating out and plans for the weekend. I will exercise hard; but, that doesn't always translate.

    Still feeling blahhh but I did go on a slow but steady walk early this afternoon just to get some sort of exercise in. What a crappy day in MN!!!

    Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!

    I am definitely going to be over today...I indulged with the sweets and then I am going out to dinner which I am sure will involve wine. I only have 600 calories left.

    Tomorrow, the kids want to celebrate my B-day at Red Lobster. Why do I love the coconut shrimp there so much? Why do I not want grilled salmon or something like that?

    Well, I am off work tomorrow and plan to hit the C25K and Ripped in 30...maybe, some elliptical too since Mama's plans to enjoy the evening with the family.

    Do you know what CYA means? anyway she is hoping that I can lose enough to make up for what she probably won' lose because of all the eating out plans. CMA-Cover My *kitten*)

    Anyway Kim that is going to be tough for me this week. I had a horrible food day yesterday because of DH 25th work anniversary lunch followed by my group having a potluck (right in our area) so bad food leads to even more bad choices and I didn't exercise at all last night and I knocked down a few drinks. Bad bad bad girl. So now I really have to try to get my *kitten* in gear and stay on the straight and narrow path until the weigh in.

    Good luck to us all this week. Let start mastering those muscles!!!!!
