Wow where is every body today?!?! I got on and was disappointed to see only myself from last night:ohwell: You all are great therapy for me. Looking to make this a great day. Hope all is well with each of you.
I'm just struggling to make it through work today and tomorrow. It's so stressful right now it's all I can do not to quit. Plus my TOM must be right around the corner because I'm super irritable, tired, & have a ravenous hunger. :grumble: :laugh: Of course, that could all just be from the stress, too. :ohwell:
Didn't want to be a Debbie Downer by griping to you guys.
Most of the time when I don't have anything nice to say, I try not to say anything at all (key phrase being "most of the time") 0 -
Hey everybody, I am still struggling, but it is a brand new day. I have been checking my weight everyday (don't usually do that) and I seem to be going down so that is good0
-
Did I stay within a healthy calorie range yesterday? No - 2000+ calories, but that was closer than I have been lately
Did I exercise yesterday? no
Did I drink my minimum of 64 ounces of water yesterday? no - about half
Share something that you are proud of about yourself ? I did make pretty good food choices for my meals ... it was the cookies that did me in ... and now they are gone
I am having a super crabby day ... really feeling under-appreciated at home (teenagers can do that to you) ... my daughter tends to be a daddy's girl and my husband can do no wrong and I can do nothing right ... even though I'M the one that usually does the most running around and scheduling and helping her!
At least my 9-yr old is a momma's boy ... that helps that I get some appreciation!
I need to watch my eating with my mood the way it is today ... I tend to comfort-eat when I'm feeling sorry for myself ... I already had a doughnut this morning when I wasn't really hungry for it.:mad:
Good news is that they haven't cancelled my 6:45am step class at the Y yet ... (I had been the only participant the last few times), there were actually 3 of us this morning ... but we need to get 5 regularly for them to keep the class ... they are trying for a few more weeks. So I did burn 1000 calories this morning and it improved my mood for a short while - until I got to work and there are tons of problems here too! Aaargh! I'm definitely in a 'Debbie Downer' mood today! :frown:0 -
grrr I some how just lost what I posted. I will try this again.
GLOOM is in the air today:mad: :explode: :grumble::indifferent: :frown: :sick: 
:brokenheart: :sad: :yawn: (that should about cover it) Hopefully this will quickly blow over for everyone. Some days are just like this. I appreciate that you all are not 'Debbie Downers', but life happens and you don't have to grin and bare it alone.
lstpaul: Just a note about unappreciative teens YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! I am just now seeing a few paydays with my son away at College. There is light at the end of the tunnel
andreasoulcastle: Nice that the scales are moving down for you. Keep track of everything you eat and drink, and you will see results.
I cleaned out my freezer and found some chicken strips that look pretty freezer burned. And I hate to feel like I am wasting food so I put a few in the crock pot with a lite gravy. I'm hoping for a miracle that it might actually be good.lol0 -
Hi All, Sorry some of you are feeling a bit down today. I am actually in a GREAT mood. My son went to speech this morning and she says he has increased his verbs from 5 in August to about 30 this morning. He has a much larger vocab then that but he was not really using too many verbs. He had a great day. My 16 year old girl is feeling so much better today.(lstpaul, she also thinks her dad is amazing and can do NO wrong, as a matter of fact all 3 of my daughters think he is absolutley amazing) Now I have my son who thinks I am pretty amazing. Husband admitted he gets a little jealous, cause the little guy is in love. I hope everyone's day improves. I am struggling to get my water in today. It is noonish here and I only have 16 ounces in me so that is a goal I am going to try and work on. My cals are looking good so far and husband is taking me on another power walk this evening. I checked out last nights walk and we did go 2 miles in 30 minutes. WOW 4 mph. When I started back in march It took me 60 minutes to go 2 miles. Yay for me:laugh: :laugh:0
-
I went for a walk and feel better (except that my walk time/lunch hour was cut in half because of a stupid meeting :grumble: ). I also feel much better because it's nearly 5pm and I get to go home and cook the chickeny cheesy portobello mushroom caps & zucchini I've been dreaming about all day. :laugh: My stomach is really yelling at me. I'm so hungry! I have been all day. I don't get why, I ate as much or more food as I have been every day for the last 2 months.
My mood has also improved because I just secured a lightly used TREADMILL! I'll pick it up on Saturday since it's about 45 minutes away from my house. I'm so super excited because I want to start c25k so much but I'm still way too self-conscious to run anywhere near people. My boyfriend agreed to pay for half because he wants to start running again, too, but the pavement aggravates his past stress fractures and shin splints from being an avid runner several years (and 40 pounds ) ago.
Wow, I seriously can't believe how loudly my stomach is growling right now. :laugh:0 -
Hey everyone, I just cleaned my apartment for an hour (it was a huge mess). I literally am sweating as I type, I feel really good because my nest is super clean, lit my scented candles and plan on takin a shower, making some tea and just sitting down and listening to some music for awhile. I will worry about studying for my exam in a few hours...for now...music hehe.0

Cleaning is burning calories Andrea, so good job.
Okay everyone here goes
Calories:1500 Yay I actually brought that down today.
Water: Not quite but close and I still could bring that up to 64 oz. before bed time
Exercise:YES
I am proud that I finally lowered my calorie intake this week and that I exercised. I proud that I took care of everyone in my house plus some people that do NOT live with me. (I help my elderly neighbor) I am proud that this is another successful day out of many in the last 8 months.:blushing: :bigsmile:0 -
TOM for me so I know I am not going to have a loss this week but I have ate better today and I have still exercised so I am thinking next week should be awesome for me.Won't be around this weekend going to see my husbands Great Uncle he will be 90 on Saturday and he can walk circles around me.Kind of embarrassing right but I want to look and feel as good as he does at 90.So he is kind of a motivation for me.I can do this.It may be slow process for me but the fat will come off and I am still learning everyday what works.I have had a bad couple of weeks but I am coming right back out of it.God gives us trials and tribulations because he knows we can handle them.He never gives us anything we can't handle.I made it through a bad couple of weeks and my weekend is aiming to be a GREAT one!!!!Cleaning is burning calories Andrea, so good job.

I am feeling so good this week...I am soo excited about my weigh in tomorrow...i am a daily weigher and it has been going done every day...as of this morning I 1/2 away from loosing 15lbs .Total.....we will see what the scales say tomorrow...
I will udpate my daily later, as i haven't even had 1000 calories, and I walked for a mile (took me 30 minut) was walking with my 6 yr and 2 yr they are slow....and then I did my 25 minutes on elliptical.
I also did my weighin on biggest looser game, after the challenge that kicked my but...it was lots of arm stength and i have non and trying to hold my 296 lbs body up was hard....but anyway...then i did the weigh in and it was the last in my 4 wk challenge i did, and i lost 12 lbs....soooo that was cool.
Think i am getting a snack....bbl.0 -

Here is my check in -

Funny quote from my 6 yr old...I was taking a shower yesterday when my husband picked them up from day care. They were yelling for me and came up stairs..and she comes in my rooms and says there is the biggest looser...She knows that both me and my husband are loosing weight, she will ask us when we don't want to eat something if it has too much fat or calories...soo sweet (at this point in time...not all the time is she so sweet ) 0 -

No weight loss for me due to TOM
I am going to watch calories and drink plenty of water today and I am going to exercise my butt off by scrubbing down my house.LOL!! Have a great weekend.I will post a new thread on Sunday so be watching.0 -
Good Morning Girls,
I have lost 1.2 pounds that is a percentage of .86% Just under 1%
Everyone has done pretty good. I know I am not the biggest loser this week. So if you see that your percentage is higher than everyone elses at the end of the day. PLEASE post your challenge so we can get started.0 -
Yesterday's accountability:
11.05.09
Calories - 1,206 - should've eaten more but I got the worst tummy ache ever last night out of nowhere (I didn't even eat anything bad! ) so I had to drink 12oz milk last night just to make it up to 1200 for the day. The pain sort of felt stomach-ulcerish (someone stabbing me in the stomach with a flaming knife) so I really need to relax and stop stressing out about work. It's not worth it.
Exercise - 597. 30 minute walk and 30 minutes on stationary bike.
Proud? That I didn't comfort eat under tons of stress at work and pms.
Weigh in- 244 = 2.6 pound loss from last week.
I think that's 1.05%. I can't get to that percentage calculator from work so if you want to check behind me I won't be offended.
I've weighed 244 since Tuesday and I've had 3 very good eating & exercise days since then so I expected a little more, but I'll take 2.6.
Today is day 1 of TOM and I feel super bloated everywhere, even in my face, so I guess I'm just retaining water. I guess that means next week will be even better. :drinker:
Good luck everyone!0 -
Hey there all. Although the numbers look good, technically this was not a good week. I did not workout at all this week and I did not eat as well as I would have liked to. Next week is a new beginning and it is looking better for me.
Here are my check-in stats
Last Week: 226.9
This Week: 224
Total Lost: 2.9
Weight Loss Percentage 1.27
~Jay0 -
We still have Jenn and Andrea to post weight loss so keep your eyes out. mscocoa you are in the lead this morning. After Jenn and Andrea put their percentage in, if you are still in the lead at that time please post a physical challenge for us to start on tomorrow. Jenn and Andrea if either one of you post a percentage higher than 1.27 % Feel free to give us a challenge. If we have a 2 way tie then feel free to each give a challenge. I do not think 2 challenges would hurt any of us. 0

last week - 248.9

Hey, it's me, Teresa. I'm trying so hard to join your over 200 club, I just don't understand the system yet. I don't know how to do a msg. I changed my user name, and was finally able to post an introductory msg there. I'm not as computer literate as I'd like0

My son SURPRISED me coming home from College for a long weekend. I can't believe how happy I feel. I didn't think that I would see him until Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I will be in a training class for 8 hours for C.E.R.T. This is something to help me be more involved in our community. So I will give quick posts when I can, but until Monday I'm off in many directions.0

That is great that your son suprised you.
