Wow what a wek everyone is having. :cry: I hope everyone is feeling better soon and getting back into the swing of things soon. Keep at blues, we can't let life de rail us, but let it make us stronger. We can do this together.

Sounds like everyone has had a busy week this week. I have fallen off the wagon this past week. Yesterday was horrible, i ate and ate and ate and did not excercise.:explode: Part of the problem is the church carnival we are going to everyday:grumble: . WOw what bad food, can't wait for it to be over today. I did run for 45…

Awesome job J_g and pshook, you rock!! I just signed up with a trainer again. I will be below 200 by the end of August if it kills me.:grumble:

All I can say is WOW, what an inspiration you are too many of us here. That is amazing to see that transformation taking place. AZ- hang in there, you can do it, this week will be a new start for you and we will see those numbers move in the right direction again. Now go drink some water.:drinker:

It all depends on your personality. I let myself have the occassional treat, but i don't do it for a whole day or anything like that. I try to keep it just occassionaly maybe every couple of weeks. If i let it go too much and too often i can't get back on the wagon. It is really all about what you can control yourself.…

I would start where you left off and then if you have trouble, go back to the beginning.

I have been trimming trees and hauling branches all day, how many calories do you think that burned. I forgot to wear my HRM. Man do i hurt. I have been working really hard for no snacking after dinner. It has been incredibly hard to do but i am going on 4 days now. Here is a story. Went grocery shopping today and the…

Rach so sorry to hear about your job loss. I work in HR and if you are sending out resumes i would be happy to take a look and let you know any suggestions, just let me know. I try to help anyone I can these days. Great job blues I have now made it 4 days without any after dinner snacking. YOu have now idea how tough that…

Congrats on beating your goal! That is awesome news!!!!!:smile:

I agree that you need to change it up. Every body is different I would try eating some of the calories back for a couple of weeks, but that does not work for everyone. Also take a look at your diet. I know you have some medical issues, but that is possibly where you can tweak too. As my Dr. likes to say, diet is really the…

Kath- Hang in there and take a deep breathe. It will take some time to get a new routine figured out, but just take it one day and one meal at a time. You have done an amazing job and you are so strong and such an inspiration to those of us in this group who are aspiring to be at your level some day. As for the numbers…

HI Blue team, Hope everyone is doing well and I hope Rach is having fun somewhere. I changed my profile pic to update since I started loosing. I call this outfit my skinny outfit because it does a great job of hiding all my rolls and i look a whole lot better than I did. I have been struggling the last few weeks with my…

FItgal don't give up, you can do this, and if you can't wait to get to your goal, what will happen if you stop all together? You will only get farther and farther from that goal and it will be so much harder to get there again. My moto has been to take one day, one meal at a time. We all have set backs, but it is making…

Great job that is a big accomplishment. Couch to 5K is an awesome program, you should try it, now that you did your first 5 minutes. I hate running too, but it is great cardio.

Sickening- I turned the channel. I don't like any of those shows personally, but this one is just really bad. I can't believe they would do a show like this. (okay I can, but I don't like it)

Glad to see many good stories being posted in the blue group. Great job everyone. I have had a bad week of late night snacking. I need a swift kick in the you know what, but i have boot camp at the gym tonight so I will hopeflly work it off. Great job everyone.

Great Job on vacation, glad to have you back.

Thanks I couldn't get to that link for some reason it kept coming up as broken, but i googled it and found the reason. I ate too close to running as i have not had this problem before now i think that is the cause, but i understand what the issue is now. The funny thing is, i have come to rely on MFP for so much related to…

You can do it, just be strong. Think os us sitting next to you saying you have to do 3 hours of walking for that high calorie food. Hope you have fun though, just make good choices.

Don't give up, it could be one of those really wierd hormonal things us women get every once in a while. Just don't step on that scale until the next weigh in and drink lots of water. Maybe that will help.:drinker:

I worked at Dunkin Donuts for a year in college. Never want another donut as long as live. You wouldn't eat them, if you saw them made, trust me.

Yeah, I think i figured out my problem on why i can't keep a steady pace of running. I neer thought I ran really fast ,but tonight in our gym boot camp she had us run on the bike path and i was running with another lady in the class. Well we were going much slower than i normally go and before i knew it, we had jogged 1…

Go blue team. We seem to be getting our motivation back a little bit, just keep up the hard work. Remember nothing worth while comes easy, and don't we all know that. I just signed up for my first 5K run the end of August. I am so nervous.

I like it, but i am going to have to do the stepper at the gym, no steps in my house.:laugh:

I was in the same boat as you. Got back from vacation last week and i kept cheating late at night. Finally one night after binging on m&m's, i called it quits put all the stuff away and have been good ever since. It is almost like you have to flip that switch and you need to do it now. Keep yourself busy, go for a walk or…

It looks a little better this week, good job blues. Don't worry Rach you will get it next week. Thanks for taking this on and doing the chart for us each week, we really appreciate it. So we need a new challenge. How about working out at least 5 times before next Wed? Anyone have any other ideas?

oh no Rach- maybe too much stress? We will get this, this is our week to change things around for the blues.

hmo4- that is great news, and once you get into a routine it will most likely be better for you. What a great response to the challenge. We can do this blues, and lets have a great week.

Awesome job, keep up the good work and congratulations.:flowerforyou:
