Great chart, Kristen (even though I don't like the direction I have been going in lately).
Great challenges. Good idea, Desarai--I have a few exercise DVD's I could open.
I am looking forward to a good week!0 -
Hey guys,
Sorry I didn't weigh-in this week. I am so unbelievably disappointed and confused.
Somehow, I'm up to 266 pounds. I haven't been this heavy in about 3 years. And I don't know how this is happening. I haven't been eating near enough to gain that much weight in such a short time.
I don't know what to do.0 -

maybe open your diary so we can take a peek? Could it be water weight from high sodium foods? have you been taking measurements?0 -

So I'm 2.2 lbs off my mini goal weight and that's okay because I still lost this week. I had decided to change my activity level since I had reached 25% of my weight loss goal and it gave me almost 200 extra calories a day so I'm not really surprised that I didn't lose more. I've also been busy helping my husband get things done for his outprocessing checklist to clear this base before moving on to our next post. I'll give my body another week or two to adjust to my current activity setting to hopefully settle down and get back to my 2 pounds a week.0 -
I just now got the chance to look at the chart and I can't believe I didn't weigh in! I remember weighing in at my computer at work but we had so many system problems on Monday so maybe that's why it didnt go through
I'm still here though and am looking forward to a fantastic weigh in this coming Monday! 0 -
Hi everyone! Well, my scale has not been moving this week which is annoying. I haven't gotten a good workout in, and although I think eating has been decent, I've missed some days of logging, so I may be underestimating my mental count of calories in.
Looking forward to the weekend to do more planning (meal wise) and to get some good workouts in.
I really think the key to success for me is organization & planning ahead. I do so much better when I do.
For the Monday weigh in peeps, we've still got 3 solid days to push toward our 1st minigoal. Let's work for our results.
Hugs,
Amy0 -

thurberj - Would you like to share your snack ideas?
k****ey31 - Sorry to be writing this a little late but... thanks for the challenges!
VEBustos - Sorry to lose you. Good luck with your classes!
helloclaire - It's never too late to log your weigh in. But if it comes in after noon PST (on Monday's) it is too late for it to be included on that week's chart.
cmm7303 - Yay for helping you to smile and for wearing smaller jeans!
surferfreak07 - I hope your job interview went well!
I agree with AmyByExample. "We've still got 3 solid days to push toward our"... mini goals, weight loss, try a new exercise, drinking more water, getting more sleep... whatever we're striving for. I totally know that we CAN!!0 -

My goal was to be 162 which clearly didn't happen! =( Oh well.. It's a new month and I'm starting a new workout routine on the 21st! So Hopefully I will see some results with it.0 -
Hi Everyone! Whew! So happy to have the weekend here! I did very well on portion control today & even got in a mini-workout (only 200 calories burned - but at least something!).
Tomorrow is filled with Little League Opening day parade & both of my boys have games. Happy to spend as much time outdoors! Hope I can fit in a workout somewhere (I've got a meeting @ 8AM, Parade @ 10:30AM, 12PM game & 1PM game). My 5 year old has no interest in playing, so she & I may get in some walking or may head over to the park for a bit. Ah, the exciting life of me! (LOL).
Wishing you all a wonderful Friday evening & a smashing day tomorrow.
Hugs,

Last week I almost got depressed....but this week I started noticing real differences in my body...my tummy is smaller than ever!!!
And today the sclaed showed a progress.
I'm really happy.
Going to get dressed now, 'cause I'm going to a wedding today. No exercise today, but I promise tomorrow I'll get back to it.
Kisses,
Tatyanne0 -
I'm looking forward to today. Its the start of the sailing season and i'm out sailing all day! Will be great fun and burn calories. Especially as it's so cold here today. There is snow being forecast, which is really weird in May. It'll be so good being out on the water again.
Hope you all have a great weekend!0 -

This week, I started using a new scale. It's the Aria that goes along with the fitbit. Anyway, this scale weighs me 3.5 pounds heavier than my antiquated scale that had no decimal points. So instead of meeting my minigoal (which I would have met), I am logging in .7 higher than last week! Looking forward to next week's weigh in!0 -
Oh holy crap! So I participated in my local USO's Photo Scavenger hunt today where we had to walk all over base and take pictures of things on the list. I walked for a total of 4 hours 10 minutes, 10.3 miles and burned 1463 calories! My daily calories is only 1570! And the sucky part is that when I finished it was 1 pm and I hadn't eaten anything in the past 4 hours (although I did consume 10 cups of water walking around in the sun) and I could hardly eat lunch at all. I wound up eating my side item as my lunch and then saving the sandwich for dinner. By the time I finished that I had only consumed about 19 net calories for the day because of all the calories burned from my walk. >_< So then I decided to treat myself to a (horrible for myself but oh so wonderfully delicious) sundae from Baskin Robbins. It was totally worth the 1,000 calories. Haha
But yeah, I've never walked that much in one day in my life. It was crazy intense but I had a lot of fun all in the name of a good cause. I think if I were to participate in another one though that I would want to do it on a bicycle so I would have a better chance at actually winning a prize.

Well I was asked to share my snack ideas.......my main problem time of the day is after work (late afternoon) and I especially have a problem if I'm driving the hour up to the mountain house after work. I eat lunch at 11:30 so my trainer says I need some energy because by 3:00 I should be snacking on something. If I have something like fruit that you eat quickly, i get tired on the last part of the ride so I was wanting a salty crispy snack and just kept eating and eating.
Now I have 1 Weurthers hard butterscotch candy, which lasts a bit, and then I have a bag with one portion of Carbmaster multigrain crackers while drinking water. These crackers can be found in Wall Mart or some grocery stores. They are gluten free for those that might like that and are low in sodium and calories.
I also found out from a friend, that if you drive bare footed, you tend to stay more alert.......I'm for anything that keeps me from driving odff the road...lol0 -
