  • Increased Exercise? You have some wear and tear on your body and you'll have more fluid in your tissue to support the repairs - it's a GOOD thing not a bad thing. Remember you don't want to gain fat but having the scale go UP from time to time for good reasons is fine! Also you may just have more fiber in your gut than…
  • I'll start the weigh-ins for the week! I know Chris already beat me so this could be a good week for us! LilDebbie - holding off from a gain (and .3 does NOT count as a gain) when you're sick AND TOM... you KNOW you'll see a loss next week! mstahl.............-2.5................-1.3%
  • The weight loss will come! You're upping your exercise and that causes your body to hold onto fluid while it figures out how to repair and build muscles! The fat is coming off and all the sudden instead of seeing a KG drop every now and again you'll get a 2KG drop at once. Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:
  • Checking in for Thursday: Calories - Over by 860 (remember my being under for three days straight? THIS is why! :embarassed: :ohwell: Water - Just the 64oz unless I count wine :huh: Exercise - 30 minutes of swimming where I practised technique, and a few more where I swam HARD to get my heart rate up. Proud- I didn't go…
  • When the elderly folks walk past me while I "run" the look back and smile encouragingly:flowerforyou: . YES really!:grumble: But sometimes their walker and oxygen trip them up and I catch up with them! Checking in for Wednesday: Calories - Under by about half my exercise calories Water - good Exercise - no. I might have…
  • I log anything with a calorie or two!
  • I work out at a university rec center. At six thirty AM I'm just impressed that people are functional! I might judge the fashion majors who come in all decked out with pretty nails but that's mostly because I'm jealous of their 20 year old skinny selves who have time to party, put on make up and do their nails, work out…
  • Anne (AWestfall) and lstPaul - you two are working out fools today! WAY TO GO! :flowerforyou: I've had a few to many mini dark Hershey krisps dipped in peanut butter :grumble: thanks to my "run" this AM I'm still OK on calories but I really need to break this chocolate habit I've developed!
  • I work in Information Security for a healthcare system (and might I say - I LOVE MY JOB!) when it gets stressful here, we eat chocolate :tongue:
  • Wow Momma! You captured the adolescent female pretty well! LOL! :laugh: I mean :sad: :huh: lstPaul - I'm sorry about your disappointment with the swim team! I know a little how you feel.. it's not that we want to relive our high school days (shudder) but we have such hope for them and want them to feel good about…
  • lstpaul - PUMPKIN! When I run short of calories I love having a few cans of pumpkin on hand because it tastes great either sweet or savory and it fills you up! You can have a giant salad with a chicken breast on it for dinner - and low cal dressing. Then for dessert have some low fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt mixed…
  • Stash brand Green Chai! I love it because I can drink it without milk or sugar (although I like it sweetened). I love that it tastes GREAT hot or cold! We keep a gallon in the fridge all the time and I make mugs of it all day long at work. If you aren't a fan of green tea try it anyway - it's converted many because it's so…
  • Checking in for yesterday! Calories - Under my exercise calories by about 300 Water - great! Exercise - 30 minutes of "running" (ok it's slow but still!) Proud - we went to Trader Joe's after work and I was SO HUNGRY but I managed to find something for our "Meatless Monday" dinner that was delicious and still within my…
  • Chris - we're running a half marathon in May so GET ON IT! (and by "we're" I mean YOU and US)
  • I have found that unscented stick antiperspirant woulds great. NOT the clear kind the regular kind. My thighs have always rubbed a bit - no matter how thin I get -it's the way I'm built. I've only started running recently so WHEN I get down to my goal weight it will be interesting to see if that changes...
  • Julie (littleSpy) you have to pump in your car? You should call HR to complain!!! (Julie works in HR) To make up for yesterday's bad eating I've had a very healthy lunch. A huge salad of mostly just baby spinach, with a little raw mushrooms and an egg, plus some sunflower seeds (1 TBSP) and dried cranberries (1TBSP) and…
  • AMAZING! You look so happy too! You have earned this and I'm so proud of you :drinker:
  • Hello Everyone! Welcome Annasgyal!:flowerforyou: Checking in for Sunday - Calories: Over by 600 and some *ouch* :grumble: Water: OK - mostly diet soda and green tea which I know many don't count as water Exercise: Moving out-side furniture inside! Proud: I had a :heart: Frisco melt:heart: at Steak N Shake then split a…
  • If I'm really pushing it, and my average HR is up in the top of my range (80% of max or higher) I count about 100 calories for every ten minutes. I'm so out of shape (only been back on the exercise band wagon since August) that it's easier to hit the high HR ranges - I'm not sure I'm actually burning that level. All of…
  • I'm excited we have some new people on here YAY! It's fun getting to know new people AND it's always fun when the thread is more active :flowerforyou: HERE IS A NEW RULE FOR THE GROUP! Not keeping up on the thread is FINE don't think you can't post just because you don't have the time to read through all the updates since…

  • WOW You have done a GREAT job! What an inspiration!
  • Hello Beautiful People! :drinker: Checking in for Wednesday- Calories - under but I probably didn't count all of the mini Hershey's I woofed down during a stressful meeting. :grumble: I try to save wrappers so I have a count but I'm not sure I actually unwrapped all of them :embarassed: (mostly joking) Water - Pretty good…
  • You guys are talking about pretty hot people. Unconventional - not so much. Now MY choice... he's not a heart throb to many...
  • 9 minute miles are a dream of mine :) Right now I think I "run" at about 2.8 mph because even the old lady walker at the track passes me while she smokes a cigarette and chats on her phone... (OK not really but almost!) Thanks for the great advice! I've signed up for the half marathon in Williamsburg next May and I am…
  • download the mP3 files and put them on an inexpensive mP3 player! I have both C25K and 5K101 on a cheap ($15) mP3 player and I picked up inexpensive ($5) headphones that kinda clamp around my ear (not as bad as it sounds) so I don't have to worry about them falling out/off! Panasonic RP-HS11 Water-Resistant Lightweight…
  • Hump day! Whoot! Checking in for Tuesday: Calories - 1236 which means I didn't eat my exercise calories and that was by design Water - I did fine but not much extra... Exercise - 1 hour of swimming (and still whining about hating swimming!) Proud - Last night was stressful. I came home to a stressed out sick teenager who…
