T.H.E. Team (trying hard everyday) October '11

Vikki you really could so zumba. We have 2 women in there 50's who come to our class, if they can so it then so could you. And no-one has worse co-ordination than me lol.

Well i guess i've lost a cinderblock whatever one of them is.

I have finally dropped a jeans size. I was beginning to think it would never happen so i'm not caring what the scales say tomorrow.

I have a cinder block to loose One of my residents today said it looked like I was losing weight... Interesting. Considering my weight hasn't changed and my clothes are still tight. But, my doctor does want me to come in and see if there is anything else going on because of my massive weight gain since starting back on birth control. Looking back at my weight entries that is exactly when it started. I'm hoping that we can find one that won't make me gain any more weight. I started to feel like a failure. But then some one pointed it out to me and that really got me thinking. It runs in my family. My sister gained almost 50 pounds when she went on birth control and that's even with her being active. It sucks. I hate it. I feel like all my hard work went right down the drain and it's all gone. My new clothes that I bought this past summer are too tight. I went back from a size 7 to a size 11. I was originally in a 13 when I first started this journey in 09. It took me a year to get the 30 pounds off, and the 30 some inches of body fat off. I walked my butt off. I worked my butt off. I ran and I drank water... I was always going going going. And it's all back. Oh well, I just have to start over.

Hi!! I would like to join T.H.E.!! The encouragement and supporting of one another is just what I'm looking for.

My goal for the next week is to watch my carb counts and keep them low. That's when I feel best. :flowerforyou:

Good Monday morning!!! Today is the start of a new week and I am excited to hit the gym! Sounds pretty crazy I'm sure, but I am on a roll!! You see, I have never been a consistent exerciser, and since I started "living a healthier lifestyle" 5 weeks ago, I have made working out a priority, and guess what? I now LOVE it!! Crazy, huh? Oh, and the 18 pounds of fat being gone isn't bad either! So that is why a new week is exciting for me. New challenges, maybe a new clothing size, new friends on MFP, all kinds of new stuff going on! Hope everyone has a great day and I also hope your weigh in this morning puts a smile on your face!

Hey everyone. Doing my daily check in. Today I drank lots of water, and I took the steps at work as much as I could.

How's everyone else doing?

Hi, thanks for the invite!

My name is Shannon, and I'm a single mom to a beautiful 4 year old. I'm recently divorced after leaving an abusive and unhealthy relationship. I've been gaining and losing the same 30 lbs since my senior year in high school. I'm committed to stop yo yo'ing once and for all. I'm down to my last few pounds and struggling to get the scale moving. I haven't been this weight in 5 years, so I'm thrilled regardless. This week I'll try to up my water to 10 glasses vs 8.

Hi Dreamer and everyone else, thanks for the invite. I just joined today, googled 230lbs 5'5 and this is where I ended up. I am 35 (36 in two days!!) year old married mother of four. I live 45 mins out of Christchurch, New Zealand on 4ha. I have two horses, a pig, a rooster, 2 dogs, 5 pups and a cat... life is very busy. I study Naturopathy and love it, but my procrastination levels are high...

SW: 106kg (233lbs) CW: 106kg (233lbs) GW: 62kg (136lbs) only 97lbs to lose or 44kg!! I'm 5 foot 5.

I currently see a personal trainer once a week at her home gym and weigh in on a Thursday with her so I'll just use that weigh in on a Monday.

I have high blood pressure and have suffered depression for nearly 10 years. I refuse to have another decade go by where I fail to enjoy my life.

And my goal for this week is to log every day's food and exercise religiously.

Hi All,

Nice to see such a busy thread! Welcome everyone.

I'm excited about your new brace, Dreamer! I did the Virtual Model now and goal and keep her in my food drawer at work. It's my usual place where I will most likely weaken.

I wonder if you birth control pills are adding to your thirst, Kelly? Something to ask your dr.

Our hunter is gone...we fed him well...and another deer lives. I am so ready for chicken!

Gotta get ready for work...see ya tonight.

*Ü*

Very quiet indeed! I don't have much to report on until Monday's weigh in..I'm pretty boring! :laugh:

Goodness. I hope your mother feels better soon Painten.

Well, I have good news. I have been thinking about going back to school for a few months now and I finally went ahead and started the process. I got the call today that it's official I start classes the 31st this month. I'm going for my associates in business admin with a focus on medical records. My financial aid was approved also. I'm so excited. It's through University Of Phoenix.

Still drinking water. Trying to still take the steps when possible. Everything here is pretty much good.
