I hear ya Bobbie! Every time I get under 300 my appetite goes crazy and I have to fight to stay on calories. Especially at the 1200 level where my doc has me this month.

Okay I guess as you can see school is back in session and I have forgotten about me. So something I did positive for me was to talk myself out of talking myself out of going to the gym. I was all set to just head home Monday but then my rational self took over and I passed my exit for home and kept going to the next one…

Greg- the recumbent is great for knees. It takes the pressure off but still lets you get a workout in. I turn up the resistance and it is a good workout. I finally go to the gym the other day. I know this seems like a simple thing but the good part was I talked myself out of talking myself out of going to the gym. I have…

YAY the whoosh fairy is getting around this week woohoo!

Soulthinking- make your mashed cauliflower loaded like loaded mashed potatoes. I add bacon (with the grease), sharp cheddar, and chives along with the full fat cream cheese I make my mashed fauxtatoes with. Also add coconut milk (full fat) to your coffee if you drink it. That adds a bit of calories and fat. You can add me…

Whoosh fairy finally came back again and I got back under 300 to 295 in 2 days! Amazing what she can do!:laugh:

Okay so thanks to Bobbie I am in yay!:drinker: Thanks for vouching for me.:flowerforyou: I am Amy and I am a Spanish teacher in Las Vegas, and need to lose about 90 pounds still. I have had a hard time keeping focused on me this school year and have a tendency to let the students take my me time but need to stop doing that…

Could I possibly join you guys?

:laugh: Balance is the furthest thing from my life right now unfortunately. Still need to get it together.:frown:

I am done with the challenge I was in since it ended and need some challenge type support, too. We could post a daily or weekly challenge and do an easier and a harder version. I had signed on for another challenge that did this but it got to be too much for me time wise so can we keep them simple time wise. I work full…

I miss the daily encouragement ladies.:sad: Hope you are all well!:flowerforyou:

Thanks Jen for all your hard work in coordinating the challenges over the past weeks, I will miss the challenges, but you have given me some great ideas to add to my regular routine. THANKS!!!!!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Here are the totals for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - sorry chel I missed your Saturday post the first look through this morning and I even replied to your snack question on the same post:laugh: :blushing:. I have not heard from Lovetobe120 since last Tuesday so I guess she quit without telling us. I do not understand why…

Chel what were your Saturday totals? Thanks!:flowerforyou:

We have one http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/318152-the-over-300-club

Chel- hazelnuts are what I use(I'm allergic to the rest) and string cheese sometimes a protein shake. Yesterday I did much better food wise I made good choices when we went out for lunch I had pulled pork (no bread) and baked chicken with green beans and coleslaw drink was iced tea and added my own stevia drops. Sodium was…

On the TOM issue- women store excess estrogen in their fat so when you have rapid fat loss, it releases that excess estrogen into the blood stream and can cause irregularity in your menstrual cycle, for heavy women who have issues with no cycle or rare cycles it can cause you to have one more regularly. It will balance out…

Bump can't believe it's the last week!

Tuesday would be good days off for me since I have curriculum meetings that day. My plan is to get to the gym Monday and Wednesday so I can get back on track. Yesterday my sis and I celebrated Mexican Independence day (hey I was teaching it all day so thought I should get to enjoy it:laugh: ) Got a 40 minutes of walking in…

Karen- It was definitely easier when I was home for the summer! I am doing what I swore I wasn't going to do this year I am letting school take over my life. I am getting paid for the curriculum work though and I really need the money but I got roped into the clubs because my students are just so hard to say no to.:laugh:…

Sorry I've been MIA this week has been crazy with the curriculum development meetings and open house this week. I was at school from 6:15AM to 8:00PM on Wednesday and then back up at 4:30 AM to start again. My eating has been 1/3 crappy this week but that 1/3 has taken over the 2/3 of healthy eating ugh. Sodium has been…

Vertical crunches were hard but happened slowly:laugh: Did 60 minutes and was under fat so 45 pts for Monday.

I am slowly feeling better upping my calories. Fighting to make sure I get in at least around 1600 or so. I am not swelling up as much as I was and my sodium is not a whole lot better so it must have been the low cal high cal burn that was making the difference. I dropped 6.5 last week but stayed at 300 all week so hope it…

Chel- 21's you basically start out with a low bicep curl then higher to chest level then out and up to shoulder level. It's a modification of a bicep curl but harder since in the final step your arm is circling out more so more weight against the upper arm muscles. For yesterday I did 180 minutes of food prep for the week…

Okay so Friday I did 80 minutes of exercise and stayed under carbs and did dance so 55pts. Saturday I had the All you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster and was over calories, did side squats I like these, much better than those one leg ones I can do these easily, and I did 60 minutes of walking and challenges from the other…
