:noway: ... I DID IT! 298.6!!! I AM OFFICIALLY IN TWO HUNDRED-VILLE!!! :drinker: YAY! Oh, that's so awesome. I don't remember when I weighed below 300 pounds. Wow, that must have been back in college. Maybe in another 50 pounds I can start scuba diving again! I'm so excited! :bigsmile: It feels good to meet my month goal.…

Great job on the steps, Ayla! Is that with the fitbit?? I usually do around 3,000 on a work day but earlier this week I was hitting over 6,000... one of the small benefits of having no co-worker around... you have to run around like a chicken with their head cut off!

Thanks for the list, lottee! I actually did pretty well this week with fiber food then! :bigsmile: Today is FRIDAY!!! Which means the weekend is *just* around the corner, and I can't wait to not be at work. My boss agreed that I could take a couple of half days, so I am excited to spend one of those hiking with my brother.…

Great job Sue! Way to come back! :drinker: My co-worker is gone for the week. Twice the work to do, for days that already lasted over 8 hours. Last night I was here for 13 hours... ugh. The aches in my body let me know that I am sorely missing my zumba and hiking. I've promised myself a half day once my co-worker comes…

Morning all! This was a "bleh" week in the terms I've been sick. I knew last week was too good of a loss, and was prepared to see the scale rise a bit. Which is fine. I was ready for it. ;) However, it looks like it stayed the same, which I am estatic about! I plan on spreading the exercise love through the whole week, and…

Haven't gone grocery shopping yet. Still sick, and noticed that I crave more food being sick. I have a feeling I won't lose much (might even gain) this week if my clothes are any suggestion. :p I'm staring at a pummelo right now. Never had one before, but my body said crack it open as if it knows it holds large amounts of…

Morning all! This 3-day weekend I get to enjoy being... sick. I got sick on Friday, and have been finding the "needs to breathe" in all the activities I like to do. It's just a cold, but I would have enjoyed the weekend a lot more without struggling for air. :( We went on a hike yesterday to Iron Mountain. That was hard…

Oh, BTW, I *LOVE* the bar code thing. I know it's been on the phone app forever, but I just discovered it. No more searching! Just a quick zap! and I'm there. :)

Well, I guess I was in denial about my sugars. I only got one day with them. Of course, it was my mom's birthday... and we had cake... all week... :). At least I've been able to keep up the waters- almost everyday with more than 8 cups! I exercised more, but only in one day. I do need to start spreading the wealth to the…

That's fantastic, Sandra! You did (are doing) a wonderful job and I'm so proud of you! It blows me away how different you look, and I'm sure you feel completely different. ;) I hope to one day meet your goals so we can go have fun with our new healthy selves. Awesome dude!

Rocks, excellent! Very "Rocky" of you! And we all know he kicked the Russian's... toosh.

First of all, I want to give a shout out to Craft338 for an amazing 100.6 pound loss! She is my college friend and was the one who got me start this, and I am so proud of her. Congratulations!!! Now, I need to say that I'm tired. Tire of work, my hobbies, birthdays, school, tv shows... all of it. I feel behind on…

Hi Sue, I looked around and here's what I could find on the FitBit calculations: What I get from this is that it starts off with a similar template to MFP. Then, after it's collected some actual data based on our walking, daily duties, what not, it alters that calculation for better guestimate. Today was my first time…

I *LOVE* my FitBit! It is soooo cool. Tracks my sleep, steps, flights of stairs, cardio. Both MFP & FP talk to each other, so I don't have to do anything. I have not yet done any actual exercise, so I haven't tried that exercise log feature yet, but it's cool to see how active (or not) I am throughout the day and what my…

I am officially wearing FitBit! Got it last night, and got to track my sleeping. So far this morning it's tracked my walking, that I went up 1 flight of stairs, how many miles I've walked, and how many calories I've burned. For those of you who have one, there is a discussion thread for it that also has a FAQ. It just…

I'm digging wearing my 3x clothing. They're big on me, almost too big. But I just bought these clothes about 4 months ago, so I'm trying to get my mileage in them before I can't wear them anymore. Which is a good thing. :) Last week I got to wear one of my 2x shirts. This, as they say, is a good thing. I'm glad I kept all…

For once I'm glad I'm not into football. Parties, chips 'n dip, hot dogs, cake... that would bother me any normal day, but on Superbowl Sunday it justs rolls off the back. Although I've lost this past week, I do find myself mourning those 70 calories I lost during the adjustment. I have no clue how people can eat only 1200…

Good morning, Ravenclaws! Although I *didn't* like them, I must admit that the challenges this past week were good. Although I failed on the sodium intake for most days, I really pushed myself to have the 8 glasses of water a day. And it seems to have worked! I will try to continue this trend, but I predict some slacking…

Thanks cenedria235 for the input! I hope it works out well for you!

Greetings, fellow Ravenclaws! Today is Thursday and I'm stoked for the weekend. I only have to work half a day tomorrow; the rest will be spent hiking with my brother. I got invited to go hiking with some co-workers on Saturday, and on Sunday I get to clean and organize some equipment. So much activity! I'm not sure I can…

Yay it's Wednesday! Wait, what?? It's TUESDAY??? GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I was interested in getting one of those Fitbit things. I know someone on here has it. Is it worth the dough? What exactly does it tell you? Yesterday I got to go home 2 hours early, so instead of an 11-hour day I had a 9-hr day. Progress! If it keeps up,…

YAY! Today has been a WONDERFUL day! It's so pretty outside, and things just seem to be going my way. :) I *almost* reached my goal weight (0.2 pounds off), but I'm surprised I made it that far! My work schedule has been insane, and I didn't think I'd be able to lose anything. My goal for February is 300.00 pounds. I'm…

Welcome, Missklara! As January is almost over, we're weighing in and stating our goal weight for February. We'd love to have you, and more experienced people will give you more information.

It's Thursday people! Two more days for Saturday, and I'm excited. My new job has a lot of hours to work, and a lot of temptations to eat out. Luckily I've been able to avoid the latter. As I approach the big 3-0, I wish I had taken pictures or had done more measurements. I feel like my clothes are bigger, but I don't see…

Thanks Sue for the info! The "air bicycle" looks pretty good. I might even be able to incorporate some zumba into that (standing core). So, fat macro, hmm? I might have to switch to another because fat is rarely an issue with me. Usually I have issues with carbs or sugars, but I ALWAYS have issues with sodium. Don't know…

Okay, so I just added to the google sheet. ... what's a fat macro?? and... core exercise?

Hey all! Sorry I've been gone. Got locked out for a bit, but Kelly hooked me up. Have no clue what the OWLs were, but we're on a new week so who cares. Current Weight: 312.4 House Poins: 60 Phew!

Alright, posted my stats. I saw the week 1 challenges, but are we now entering week 2? What are the week 2 challenges?

Morning Ravenclaws. Finished the first week at my new job. It was great. I'd be more excited to share but I gained weight this week and I don't know why. I stayed below my calorie limit, went hiking, and everyday at work I climb stairs. Just don't get it. Anyhoo, here are my stats which I will also post to google.…

Apparently I've missed a lot in the ast couple of days. I thought we weren't changing the OWLs until the beginning of next week... not on Tuesday. Now I'm all confused. And the google doc thing? Is that on someone's profile? Went hiking with my brother on Monday. First time in YEARS. Was a lot of fun, until we hit a steep…
