    Hi Again

    I am sorry to say that i think we have lost 1 or 2 members.
    Please don't QUIT!
    Together we can make it work. I really want it to work this time for me!
    We all have times that we can't post anything. There are plenty of reasons; even I had that last week. Don't forget just to pick it up again
    I am sure all of us have watched the Biggest loser. We all have that in ourselves.
    Ok maybe we don't have that personal trainer, and that big amount of money to win and all the other things but .......

    WE CAN do IT!!!

    I don't want to see anyone stopping here, DO YOU HEAR!!!!!

    Please say out loud RIGHT NOW

    I DO NOT QUIT
    I AM A WINNER

    Ha ha:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Please give us new ideas to continue!!
    New members with great ideas are welcome

    Have a great day

    Love Patty

    Hi Everyone!

    Hope you are all having a good week!

    I on the other hand am havin a disaterous week, I have had a 40th birthday party , my daughter's birthday party and my friends going away dinner ( she is moving to Alaska :sad: :sad: :sad: ). So to say the least I have not been making very good food choices or making it to the gym at all:grumble:

    And at the same time my partner and I are trying to figure out whetner to move to Canada to be closer to my family...after 9 years of living I am ready for the change BUT at the same time all my bad food eating habits would return with the move as the convience of unhealthy foods is sooo tempting...where as hear I have to drive 1/2 an hour for fast food...not really fast hehehe:laugh: We would have to live with my mother til we decide exactly what town we want to live in and that would definately make me put on weight stress eating and she always house the house full of junk food :mad: So the stress of making the decision is making me stress eat:explode:


    Heading to the gym tonight to work off all these unhealthy choices

    Sorry ladies just needed to vent and my partner wouldn't quite understand.

    Morning!!! I made it through my workout last night. I had mentied on another thread that I was feeling a bit blue yesterday so I decided to try new DVD's so I would be forced to concentrate on that and to stop thinking. It did work and I felt better. I ended up doing two WATP 30 minute DVD's and then 20 minutes of abs on a cardio dance dvd. I can't keep my heart in the target zone with WATP but I still like the DVD's.

    Nobody wanted to cook yesterday. My husband had a taste for Chinese. So, he ate that and I did end up cooking some zucchini, rice and tomatos for myself. Glad I did that. Just wasn't in the mood to feel bloaty for the rest of the week.

    Angl- Happy early birthday!! By all means HAVE CAKE!!!!!

    Jigglybits-Some weeks are going to be diasterous for all of us!! I will have one at the end of September with my husband's birthday and then another birthday celebration the following weekend. Just do your best and keep moving forward. Wishing you luck on making your decision about moving.

    Jennie-There are 4 of us on this thread that are in Michigan. Or at least 4 that I know of.

    Patty- I saw that some people haven't checked back. I keep hoping that they just have been too busy to post. I know one of the reasons I post so often is that if I know I have to post...then I will be more likely to make sure to get my workout in. I do it as a way of being accountable for myself. I know others might not need to be that extreme. It's good that you brought the topic up though so they know we're still here for them.

    I just noticed this smiley face :huh: This is how I look today.

    I was 198.8 yesterday and the same today. At least I know I can maintain my weight for 24 hours. lol.

    I'm off work until Wednesday. Going to get some projects done around the house and hopefully get my workouts switched to the morning.

    Have a great day everyone!

    I weighed in today at 211. That is a 2 pound loss this week, a 5 pound lost overall. I was down more earlier in the week, but got lazy the last couple of days. It really is a 24/7 committment.

    Congrats to everyone on a great week. Gains, losses, or maintaining, we have all been getting healthy together for 4 weeks now. :drinker:

    Good morning ladies, I weighed in at 220lbs today which shows a 2lb weight gain:cry:

    I was not surprised by the gain because I made some poor nutritional choices last week. I had maybe two workouts, I guess it was an off week for me. I had a lot of things on my mind and I just could not concentrate on myself. Also, I was just being lazy. I am going to put all of that to the side and begin to concentrate on what is good for me. I AM GETTING BACK ON THE COMMITTMENT WAGON!!!!!!!!!

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Angelae39: CONGRATULATIONS for your 2lb loss.
    Jigglybits: YOU GO GIRL!!!!

    Oh NO
    I gained
    And just because of that I did the worst thing
    ... started eating chocolate
    Now I feel even worse and going out for a jog in a short while.
    I feel so good when I receive messages with Yeah I lost
    and than I gain
    Why did I do that?

    Oke not having my best day but shouldn't take it out on the chocolate.
    maybe because I didn't take any chocolate since we started Hmm??

    Up to next week

    Hi

    As you all read just now I was pissed of with myself

    BUT

    I have been using the cross trainer in the house since 4 weeks and build it up from nothing to something. Just now I went to a running track. That has been more than a year ago.
    After the warm up and walking in between I did 3 times 5 min run.
    It might not we much for some of you but to me it was a real achievement.
    Half way the run it started to rain and I did not want to stop I was thinking about the chocolate I ate, I kept going.
    All the others had stopped already. While I kept running I was smiling at myself and talking to my self.
    Yes you can do it and I did it. :happy:
    During my cool down I broke out in sweat and smiles and the rain stopped hahaha

    I feel Good!

    My hubby outstation and I had to get it of my chest.

    Good Morning Everyone! :smile: :smile:

    Hope you all had a great weekend!

    For those who started from the beginning, well done as of today we have done 4 weeks!!!
    For the others well done and lets go for another 4 weeks together.:flowerforyou:

    As you know, it is Monday morning; I think it’s time for some new challenges.
    For me it will be: No late night snacking (within 2 hours of going to bed)
    I still find that difficult

    .
    Also, please let me know your results of last week's weigh in, as some of you are not in the chart jet!

    Who has a great idea for a new group name. We have already so many entries so we can start a new thread. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:


    Good luck this week everybody and WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

    I will try to brainstorm for name ideas.

    It was a quiet weekend on here!! Hope everyone is well!

    Don't give up richelle_ross! You can get back to it. We've had a lot going on and I am managing to not gain. I am stepping up my exercise. Now that I am back to work I will try to get into a routine. spiralgirl your enthusiasm for your workouts is motivating me!:flowerforyou:

    Hello All...Happy Tuesday!! It's that much closer to Friday...I'm trying hard to step up my exercising..I'm even thinking about the couch to 5K ....I bought new sneakers last night..after trying on what seemed like 100 pairs I found one that I thought felt good...I have a serious recoving case of Plantar Fascitis but after walking in them at the track..they hurt so bad...my toes were numb on my left foot...etc...I think I'll be bringing those back LOL

    anyone have any input on the couch to 5k? I am NOT a runner...but have graduated to 5 minutes of running on the treadmill and I finaly did 1 lap around the track...I went with my hubby (who is also losing!!) and my 14yr old son (who is a runner) ...my son was yelling to me..."come on Mom...don't quit!! You're almost there!!!!" Very very motivating..

    I must say...thanks to everyone at MFP..I LOVE this site..I am addicted..I check it several times a day...

    Conrats to those who lost this week...and for those who didn't...keep trying..it will come

    Hi goodmorning everyone

    Some time ago I started with the running programme but after a week I had lots of pain mainly in my right hip. I stopped. My dokter said i was to heavy to start this programme to much weight for my hips and knee's and I was running on the road and not field. He said I should start with walking. Anyway I stopped totally.
    A long long time ago I used to enjoy jogging out side.
    5 weeks ago just before I started MFP I started using my cross trainer in the house which was collecting dust. I used the programme again and started with week one. When you are using a cross trainer you can start with very low tension and slowly built it up. I had no pain and felt good. I did it everyother day.
    I just started week 5 and yersterday did 3 x 5 min run. unbelievable I did it.
    Last saturday I went to a running track and also did 3x5min. It started to rain but I did not want to stop. I was the only one out there, the rest was looking for shelter. I was really having a good time and laughing my head off!!:laugh: :laugh: I did it
    It is getting harder and harder. I find the breathing difficult. The good part is if you find it hard just take one or two weeks to achieve that week and continue.
    My 10 year old son joined me at the track and he also gave me motivation.

    I just turned 40 and I must remember to take care of my self. It's not all about running, fast walking is also good and not so bad for your knees. It's all about building up our fitness level.


    The programme I am using is from:
    http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/

    Let me know how you are doing

    Hey Everyone,

    Sorry I haven't checked in for a few days. Work has been insane and I haven't had time to think. I have been watching my calories, but haven't really lost any more weight. It's that time of the month and its been one of the worst by far!! Luckily it will be over in a couple of days and I should feel like my old self. My shoulder finally feels better - so back to the workouts!!

    Great job to those that are loosing. Let's step it up (those of us that are coasting)!!
