Well tried it...Zumba done. Not sure how to judge the calories burned so just going to use the counter I found and say the lowest. Was fun. If I ever get the chance to be without kids again. I'll do it again. Don't think Id ever be confident enough to do it in public have two left feet, but was fun. May even get a cd or something. Thank goodness for youtube.

Still struggling. Just wish and hope I can get this all figured out in time to reach my June goal weight.

Well man am I sore today. My waist at my hips and my lower back are so sore. If I sneeze I just want to cry. But if it helps the scale and the tape numbers to drop what is a little soreness.

Come on numbers drop, PLEASE.


I am really trying to lose this weight the healthy right way this time. Ive tried every other way. If I restrict myself to much then I can't stay with it. I am really trying to be balanced this time. I want to be able to do this and maintain it the rest of my life. I am tired of this up and down. I want off this rollercoaster.

But being stuck at this weight and the number not moving I am really finding it hard not to do something like I would in the past. Either give up or try some method to "kick start". Which for me may get a loss but I always end up gaining that plus more back.

sigh..............

This is more for me then anything. A reminder to myself. But maybe some of you can relate to it,

This for me is a lfestyle change. And life isnt always easy. So if I want to reach and hope keep my goals I have to keep moving forward. Sometime you have to hit the wall and push on through. Before life would happen and I'd use that as a reason to stop. Not for a day or two but just stop until things calm down. You need balance in everything yes. But I dont want life to stop me anymore. A pause may happen. Like a coma in a sentance life may make me pause. However no more end of sentance period stops for me.

This is a life style change. Not just for when times are easy.

Here is what I don't understand. (at least at this moment)

Carbs

my carb goal is 143 yesterday I ate 142. I don't get why when what I ate yesterday I lost 1lb (not complaining just don't understand)
Usually when I eat carbs, brown rice, white rice, pasta I gain. So why did I lose.

I so wish I could understand why my body does what it does. Of course if I could I likely never would of needed to join MFP or this group.

Well ate they same pretty much yesterday as I did Tuesday. And now I have gain back that lb I lost. Brown Rice, The bannana or the oatmeal? Oatmeal was the really the only thing different.

I swear I don't understand my body :grumble:

:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: Warning MAJOR VENT :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Ok I was on a challenge. Where we were given things we HAD to do each week or else be chopped. I did at least that but always more each week. I reported honestly and on time each week. Regardless of what was going on in my life, how bad I felt or anything. I staied up late to get my exercise is. I took time away from my husband to go workout. I busted my butt to stay on the team. Didnt aske why or anything just did what I was asked to do to help the team plus more.

NOW i get a message I am being chopped cause I wont friend request. WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!! Want to see my diary cause you think I am making stuff up fine ask I will give you a code. I know there are ones out that will say whatever and such. But I am not one that does that. Besides if I was the weigh ins would show a major gain not a loss. Whatever.

Lying only hurts yourself. Just is discouraging. This happend all the time. People wont help, or I am cut cause I wont friend request. Why do I have to put myself totally out there for help. I don't know anyone on here but about 3 people. So why do I have to let total strangers in. I shouldn't have to. And I don't know why people keep cutting people because of it. If you are here to help then help. You want us to take you at your word take me at mine.

I am beginning to wonder. Am I in this totally alone? Who will drop me next?

A thought that keeps running through my mind is, Is there such a thing as weigh in to much?

I know some say weight in once a month, others once a week. I find if I don't do it daily then I tend to let myself get to thinking I am ok when I end up at the end of the week not being.

Anyway's just what has been racing through my mind today.

HELP!!!!! In need of food idea's just got informed our grocery budget for 4 just go cut in 1/2. :sad: I know pasta, potatoes, but that's what got me where I am now. I am not a loss I really just don't know what to do and am at my wits end. :sad: :sad: :sad:
