10 in 9

good morning ladies!! I just HAD to report some good news!! So, I haven't weighed myself for 2 weeks, in hopes of busting my bum to drop some pounds and NOT be disappointed when I stepped on the scale. I lost 3.5 pounds!!! I was 170, and now I am FINALLY out of the 170s, and down to 166.5!!! HECK YES!!! Have a great weekend!

Congrats Girl That Is AWESOME !!!! Im so happy for you . :flowerforyou: I love to hear the good stuff it motivates me for some reason when you guys lose I feel like I am :laugh: :laugh:

Hi everyone! I would love to join this group. I just signed up on MFP today, so I am very new to the entire website. Can someone fill me in? Thanks!

Welcome KayT and Not Surprised !!!!! :drinker:

Hiya Ladies !!!! Hope you all made it thru holloween with out falling off the wagon like I did :explode:

Last night I got into the candy just couldn't help myself and blew thru all my cals and workout cals!!! So basically I workout for almost 800 cals and screwed it all up . Thank god today is another day , think Im gonna have to put candy under lock and key So DAMN tempting

Hey Patty , WTG with being a good girl at party :drinker: Hmmmm, what do you go by , do you use the calories burned marked on the machines? Seems kinda low exspecially with a trainer who probably whips your butt . At my lowest workouts a.k.a (lazy days) I do 30 mins treadmill ( 200 cals) , 15 mins elliptical ( 150 cals) and bike 15 mins ( 227 cals) which equals 577 total. If I use the calories burned from mfp its like 619.

:flowerforyou:

Hey, I'm new here, just started today! My short term goal is to lose 20 by Christmas and hopefully a pant size! I'm in 15 right now. Currently weigh 178 and want to get to 125-130 (I'm 5' 7) by next July. My DH and I plan to try for our 2nd kid then and I definitely want to be smaller than I was when I got pregnant with my son! That's about it lol..

My exercise today was raking our front yard and halling the leaves in a wheel barrel up and down my back yard to the creek - VERY exhausting! But I got it done! I usually do either "10 minute solutions - Pilates" or "Yoga Booty Ballet" as my daily exercise as I don't usually have a lot of time during the week!

Welcome ChckLiz ,I think you are going to enjoy this site its Awesome and the ppl are great :flowerforyou:

Well , last night again I totally screwed up and had eggs and bacon before bed which sent my cal intake into a tail spin :explode:

Today I am going to try to get a workout in but , Im not sure if ill be able to tough it out ....grrrrr... My left foot still has that annoying tingling sensation that it totally driving me nuts. Usually I would get it when im working out on the treadmill but now its been constant for 2 days. I guess we will see.

Sorry to hear about the gain shera that totally sucks but we have all been there a few times :happy:
Its probably just water retention ,I read somewhere that the best time to weigh in is after body has had a rest day cause apperantly we keep the water in , Don't know how much truth there is to that and I too can't seem to stay away from that damn candy , Im trying to limit my son to 3 pieces a day cause he has A.D.H.D which in return is leaving the bowl sitting there staring at me instead grrrrrr.

Hope you ladies have a great day :drinker: :drinker:

WE CAN DO THIS !!!!!!!

Shera-Don't worry about the weight gain, I am pretty sure that it was probably a lot of water retention. This last Friday night I knew I was going to weigh in on Saturday so I purposely ate a lot less sodium that day, and drank more water. I'm not sure if it helped...but I've heard it does, so why not! Keep up your hard work!!!

No worries, I don't plan on dwelling on the 2 lbs to much.. I"m in this for the long haul so I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and keep on trucking I am so very proud of myself tonight, my dh and I went to the gym tonight and was hoping to get into the weight training class. Unfortunately getting 2 kids out of the house we got there late and the class was full. Instead we headed went to the spin room and worked out an hour, but when we were almost done a class was about to start so we stayed for that to!!! Super nice guy, I think he's super mean tho LOL just because he worked our @ss off!!! I burned 1200 calories tonight !! I can't believe it i'm so happy I could almost forget about my 2 lbs gain LOL

Let's go ladies, let's try and dig up that motivation that we had when we started!! I'm trying really hard to find mine so here's to a great week and great choices. Forget halloween candy (atleast i'm trying to) being healthier is getting closer everyday.

XOXOXO

Welcome back nola I was starting to think you fell off the face of the earth :happy: This week I think has been a hard one for most of us . I have been screwing up left and right but every morning I wake up and say Im gonna be better today , and hmmmm well damn halloween candy ,and late night snacking gets the best of me :grumble: . The scale is also my enemy this week Im scared to step on it exspecially since aunt flo was visiting . I really think that there is some truth to the whole aunt flo and bad food decisions cause she definatley got the best of me , God I hate her

Hope you ladies have a great week !!!! :flowerforyou:

Lmao Shera . I was just thinking maybe we could take up donations and hire a hit men to get rid of that aunt flo once and for all :grumble: she is just pure evil and would deserve everything she gets:laugh: :laugh:

I like the challenge idea, but how about we make it 9 cups today

Ugh, I've benn eating totally crappy and even went up a lb.!!!!!! I am trying to get my water way up to help flush out my system. I'm at 8 glasses so far, I might make it to 9 by the end of the night. Hope to get back on track tomorrow, but I have a girls night Thursday so I know that I'm gonna go way over, and its not a workout day for me either :grumble:

I'm back on board today. Fell way off on Halloween and the days following. Time to step it up and stay motivated. I'm not weighing myself at all this week. I will drink a lot of water, stick to my cals, and work out at least 3 days the rest of this week. Who is working out today and what will your routine be?

Welcome back girl thought we lost you :sad: LOL. By the looks of thing we all fell off the wagon last week . Damn you Halloween :happy:

Im hoping to work out today but hubby is kinda busy and with my 5 year old its like mission impossible
If I do manage to get it in I will do 30 mins tread, bike and elliptical .

I had to force myself yesterday just to get my water , ugh don't like water but I did it and I broke a habit this morning and actually ate breakfast which I always skip .

Have an awesome day girls. :drinker:

Hey girls! Hope you all are having a good, strong day!! Last night I had a weak moment, with it being my TOM, and I gave in. But, I am back on the wagon today, and plan to stay strong for a long time!!

Tonight is my running night. So, I'm going to do my intervals. 3 min run (6.2 mph), 1 min run (6mph with incline of 6-7%), walk 1 minute....repeat until my 45 minutes is up! Then I'm going to my Cardio Pump class, which I am excited for. My body usually feels like jello afterwards, but its such a good workout, and I know I'm working all my muscles. Yahoo!!

And my goal is to stay away from bad food!! No more of that giving in to my temptations!!! I'm back on and going strong!!!

Keep it up girls!! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who kind of fell off the wagon today.... but we're back STRONG!! :bigsmile:

Good Morning ladies!!!! Hope you are all doing well. Well today I weigh in and was a little dissapointed only lost .4 of a lb Im hoping it is just aunt flo cause she is just on her way out. But on the bright side I did lose a total of 2.25 inches :happy: So sad when 1 inch is my boobs :noway:

Hopefully I can get a work out in Damn it haven't worked out in 2 days thing have been a litle crazy here .

Have a great day Girls :drinker:

Great job! so sad about the boob loss, I can relate. Seems to be the first place I loose inches :sad:
When I was going to weight watchers and dissapointed about my loss not being as big as I thought the leader always encouraged us by saying .2 is better then nothing....think of it as loosing a stick of butter! so .4 is even better.. you lost 2 sticks of butter !!!! WOHOOO !:happy: Great job!
