Fantastic job this week, girls!! Way to go everyone!! My goals this week: 1. The basics - water, calories, fiber, sodium 2. The exercise - at least 3 workouts 3. MAINTAIN - going to my sisters for the weekend (my THIRD travel weekend in a row!!!!) and even though she's a skinny minnie, she is the WORST influence for me!!!…

I'm in at 200.5 again this week. And I'll take it considering what I went through last week!!! And no, I'm not pregnant! LOL!! But that was a good suggestion and possibility considering what my symptoms were. I had actually started taking a B-Complex supplement, which is what took my appetite out of control. It's happened…

I don't know what is going on with me but I have completely lost control! My appetite is out of control!! I am STARVING!!!! All the time!! I can't get enough to eat!! My weight is up. I'm all the way back up to 203!!! It's all I can do to maintain a 1/2 pound loss each week, let alone balloon up 4 pounds!!! AND I'm not due…

Great job again this week, ladies!! I've been crazy busy at work (which is where I do most of my logging of food and exercise), so haven't really been able to check in much. Weight isn't budging from last weekend. Usually by today I'd have lost 2 pounds, give or take, and be back under 200. But not this week. Although, I…

I'm in at 200.5. Up 1/2 pound. I was at 199 on Saturday morning, so no idea where I went wrong yesterday. Was only over my calories by about 100 yesterday. It's my mom's house. It has to be. Happens every time I go there. Harrruuuuummmmmppppphhhhhh!!!

OK, I'm checking in with the goals I posted for myself for the weekend. Last night my guy and I took the dogs for the walk. Everyone was happy! This morning, instead of allowing myself to bail because of a blood sugar on the low side, I drank a glass of juice and got 20 mins of Zumba in. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll do…

Ok. So I didn't work out last night. My blood sugar had dropped during the afternoon without me being aware of it. I'd had a really salty lunch, so I was really thirsty, and I actually thought I was running a little on the high side. But when I started shutting everything down for the day, I picked up on some low blood…

I WILL work out tonight . . . . ***yawn*** I WILL work out tonight . . . . ***sigh*** I WILL work out tonight . . . . ***yawn*** ***yawn***sigh*** I WILL work out tonight!!!!! ugh! It's a rough one today, girls.

Great job this week, ladies!!! My goals for this week: 1. REFOCUS!!!! And maintain it! I do really, really well Mon - Thurs, and my weight drops about 3 lbs, but then on the weekends I throw it all out the window! I've got to stop doing that!! 2. Water - all of it, every day 3. Exercise - a little bit every day is better…

I'm in at 200 on the dot this morning. Not bad considering the way the last half of my week went, and my weekend. I don't know what happened to me, but I was just like "Oh, I'll eat whatever, it doesn't matter" for the last 5 days or so!!! What the heck!!! I know I can get down during the week, but my weekends just kill…

So, had a follow up with my family Dr. today. I was down 4 lbs from when I was there two weeks ago!!!! Yippeeeee!!!! She had ordered a whole slew of blood work on me to try to figure out why I've been so tired, and made some suggestions on changes for me to make as well, to see if I see any difference. (Those of you from…

Look into renting your text books. I use Chegg.com. You don't get any money back, like you do when you buy them and sell them back, but you don't pay as much out of pocket for them, either.

Are you using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox? That might be the difference on why you can't see the chart? I use IE, and I don't have any problem seeing the chart. Might also be a block if you're looking at work? do you see the banner ads that run on MFP?

Great job, ladies!!! My goals for this week: 1. All water, everyday!! 2. At least 3, if not 4, workouts 3. Go over my fiber and stay under my sodium 4. Cook at home!!! Good luck this week!! Can't wait to see all the NSV's this week!!

I'm in at 200.5 this morning. I didn't manage to keep ahold of last weeks low of 198.5, over the weekend, but I feel like I'm FINALLY moving in the right direction!!!! Good luck this week, ladies!!

Karen, I couldn't have said this better!! This was EXACTLY what I needed to hear today!!! Thank you!!!!

Thanks everyone!!!! You all know how motivational this group is! I'm so glad to have found it and that I had the guts to join it! I needed the accountability more than anything!!! I'm not sure which change I've recently made that something is finally working for me, but I'm gonna keep on doin' what I'm doin'!!! And believe…

I'M UNDER 200 LBS!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: YAY ME!!!!!! It's taken me 5 LONG MONTHS! to get here and I'm soooooo freaking happy!!! I only had 7 lbs to loose to get under 200. I originally set a goal date of 02/14/11 to meet it, and missed it. So, I reset it. And missed it again!!! So, I took the dates…

Great job this week, everyone!!!! Rach, love the new color of the chart!! Very springy! I posted my goals yesterday, but I'll repost them on this weeks thread. 1. Drink all water everyday 2. 3-4 workouts this week (1 down) 3. Cook more at home, so there's leftovers for lunches And I'm adding this one: 4. Have daily fiber…

I've been logging it as "Linedancing", but according to those with HRM's, that doesn't come close to the number of calories I'm burning, either.

Hey ladies!! Rach, I logged in late last week, so last week was 202, this week was 201. I'll take it because I had an absolutely AWFUL weekend foodwise, and I can't believe I kept that pound off!! Back to the grindstone this week. I've been slacking the last couple of weeks, and I need to get myself back on track again.…

Rach, sorry I'm only just getting you my weigh-in. Work has been crazy busy lately. I was 202 again on Tuesday morning. But I was 201 today if you're willing to give me credit for it!!! I'd LOVE to show a loss, rather than a stay-the-same!!! ;) I'm finally coming out of my TOM fog. I don't know if it's my age, or what is…

Hi ladies! I had a horrible weekend foodwise, sent my bloodsugars all over the place, so went to bed on the low side, woke up too high to workout, went back to sleep, overslept, and forgot to weigh in. So, I'll catch up on weigh in tomorrow AM. Good luck with weigh ins today, everybody!!!

I have both an NSV and a small (very small) scale victory that I'm so excited about I have to share it! I'm at 200.5!!! I've been there for the last three days!!!!! I'm ONE POUND AWAY from ONE-derland!!!! This was my first mini-goal and I missed BOTH my dates to hit it. So, I'm super motivated to keep on the straight and…

Hi Ladies!! I'm here requesting friends! :blushing: I've been on MFP since October and only recently added my first friend. But, there was soooo much success on the last round, that I'd love to be able to see others food logs to compare what I'm eating vs what everyone else is doing and see where I could improve the type…

Ok, goals for this week: 1. Drink all water every day 2. Get back on the workout wagon and stop making excuses 3. Stay within calories, increase veggies, decrease empty calories 4. Survive ANOTHER family weekend. Good luck this week, ladies!!! And Rach, thanks for getting us going for another round!!!

Good morning!! I'm sorry I missed checking in yesterday. I'm at 202 right now. :(

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on my fatigue!! I've been doing some research and it's looking like it's most likely thyroid. But I'm definately going to keep the vitamin D in mind and discuss the possibility of that with my Dr. when I go. I'm also going to discuss having the blood test done for rheumatoid arthritis.…

I'm allowed something like 1507 or something like that. And I eat them all.

Do any of you ladies ever suffer from overwhelming exhaustion? I had cut way back on my exercising, because I just don't have the energy to do it. And now I'm to the point where I can't even work up the energy to get out of bed to do my three days a week of C25k. I'm exhausted, and not sure what to do. I'm trying to make…
