My goals this week: Keep on track with my C25k. Week 3 is KILLING me!! Ugh! Repeating that one. Drink all my water every day Watch my sodium No booze. More fruits and veggies. Survive TOM.

I want to stay in, please!! I've had a super crappy 10 weeks, but you have no idea how much this group has helped me!! Thanks, Rach!!!!

Right, I haven't been logging it. Unless I eat more than the OJ or applesauce to bring my blood sugar back up again.

Um . . . I'm gonna take a pass this week. So, leave me the same as last week. I will admit I'm up, but - It's pre TOM, I fell off the wagon with my water for some reason over the weekend, and I didn't make the best food choices. And, I didn't really exercise over the weekend. So, there ya go. Give me a few days and I…

Hi everyone! I'm a 26 yr diabetic veteran! Been on the pump for 10 years now. I find that having a light snack that has some protein in it, as well as carbs, is my best option for stabilizing during a workout. The carbs give me the slight boost in bloodsugar going into the workout, and then the protein kicks in and helps…

201 for me - and I'll take it! It's a no change for me from last week, but considering the week I had, plus going to my parents for the weekend, it's amazing that I maintained and didn't gain. Hoping for a better week this week. I need to get better with my water. The bottle I use at work is 3 servings, so my goal is to…

Ok, so I'm seriously jumping the gun here, since I can't even break the 1 lb lost mark, let alone get down into the 100's, BUT! I bought myself my "reward"!! I found a pair of wearable Christian Louboutin heels (3.5 inch heel, thus wearable) and I bought them for myself for my motivation!! I'll try them on when I get them…

So, I'm having an awful week. My food has been pretty good, and I've been staying on top of my water, but everytime I workout I'm getting these awful stomache pains, and my weight is up and not coming back down again. And, it's a visit family weekend, so lots of sitting around and talking and drinking and eating. I'm not…

I totally get it. Have an engineer in my life!! LOL!! Although, I'm not an engineer, but I totally would do something like that!! LOL!!!

Goals for this week: Drink all my water Finish Wk 3 of C25k (I had to repeat wk 2, so I'm a week behind now) Watch my sodium Stay within calories Good luck this week, ladies!!! :drinker: Cheers!

201.0 this morning - I'm down 0.5. Finally starting to consistently move in the right direction!! It's been a weird couple of weeks for me. I've really been struggling with keeping my blood sugars stable enough to exercise. I've drank more juice in the past two weeks than I think I've drank in my entire life!! And my PMDD…

Great job everyone! My goals this week: 1. Drink all water 2. Stay under sodium 3. Exercise at least 4 times, ideally 6 4. Don't sweat the small stuff. Or the scale.

201.5 - stayed the same. I'm so frustrated I could cry!!!! :sad: My boyfriend finally got on the bandwagon with me about two weeks ago, and he's down 10 lbs already!! And I can't loose!!!!!! We're doing almost exactly the same thing, except I'm eating less, obviously, so why isn't it working for me?!?!?!?!? :sad: Great job…

My system is all screwed up! I weighed myself yesterday morning, and I was up 1.5 pounds. Weighed myself today, because I freaked out yesterday and I was down 2 pounds. WTF!! My food was absolute CRAP yesterday. I was traveling for work so I sat on my butt all day long in a car, ate junk food for lunch, got home late and…

Goals for this week: 1. Complete Week 2 of my 30 Day Shred/C25k hybrid (two days done already!) 2. Drink all water everyday 3. Only eat 1/2 exercise calories So, my body seems to have developed a Kung Fu type grip on this extra weight I've been carrying around for the last two years. I was talking to a friend at work and…

I'm in at 201.5 today. Down a pound from last week's weigh-in, but up 1/2 pound since Friday. Still, going in the right direction! FINALLY!!! Now, I just have to keep up the momentum!!! Good luck everyone!!!

I don't know that I can pull off more than a pound in just a few days, but I'm sure gonna give it my best shot!!! Thanks for the encouragement! And the push!!! :)

OK Ladies!! It's Friday!! Just wanted to check in, and bump us up! (We were on page 7!! WHAT!!!!) I've gotten 5 days of workouts in. That's an accomplishment for me. I usually start wussing out by Thursday - definately by Friday! Yesterday morning I took my measurements for the first time since November. Most areas I've…

Sometimes I am absolutely amazed at how quickly it adds up!!

Hi ladies!! Just wanted to check in quick. I announced my big "plan" yesterday, but never actually made any goals. 1. Drink more water. Get at least my 8 glasses a day, if not more 2. Only eat out ONCE this week. Cook as much as possible (so far so good!!) 3. Exercise according to "The PLAN!" :D (also so far so good!) Last…

I'm so excited!! I have a PLAN!!! A workout plan!!! I've tried to follow the plans that come with the workout programs, but they schedule you off on days that don't work for me and longer workouts on work days and shorter on the weekends, and the reverse works better for me, so I always try to modify them and it hasn't…

Do you think I could use 1/2 quick oats and 1/2 regular flour instead of the whole wheat flour? I don't have any whole wheat flour, but I do have oats!! And I'd like to be able to keep the fiber up. Thanks!

I'm in at 202.5 again this week. I'm happy with that, though, because I expected a gain. My boyfriend and I drove into NYC this weekend to see a show and just get away. I splurged a bit, but not overly much. If I wanted something I got it, but I ate in moderation. And we walked some, too, which considering how cold it was,…

OK, I've been a real Wendy Whiner the last few weeks, and I had a little heart-to-heart with myself while I was getting ready this AM, and told myself I need to stop focusing on the obstacles, and celebrate the victories, no matter how small they are. So, here are my non-scale victories from the last couple of weeks: 1.…

Maybe up your protein then? If 6g isn't quite getting you as far as you need to go? Another really great, and only 100 cal option (and kind of a treat) are VitaTops. OMG!! They are freakin' delicious!! Lots of fiber and also about 6g protein, I think.

For those of you who get hungry mid-morning, or have a late lunch and find it hard to make it that far, add some protein to your breakfast and see if that helps you make it to lunch without starving. I know if I do typical breakfast stuff (oatmeal, cereal, etc), I'm starving by like 9 a.m. But if I have some protein, like…

Fantastic job ladies!!! You're all so inspiring! And thank you Rachel for being keeper of the chart!! I have really been struggling these past few weeks. I don't know what's going on with me, but I have no energy. I wake up in the morning and I'm still tired, and I can't even think about working out. Work has been crazy…

I'm holding steady. I weighed in late last week at 202.5, and I'm weighing in this week at . . . . you guessed it . . . 202.5. I'm really trying to not beat myself up over it. I was back down to 201.5 by Thursday, but it was a horrible week, and I went to my mom's this weekend for a family get together, so for me to hold…

I wanted to get Turbo Jam last spring, but my boyfriend said if I got Power 90 instead he'd workout with me, so I didn't get it. Well, needless to say, the working out together didn't last, and when I went to get Turbo Jam, I discovered Turbo Fire, so I got that. I later went back and ordered Turbo Jam, just to have some…

Ok, I've got to post goals for this week. 1. Workout 4 times. (I've got 2 in already) 2. Drink all water, or more, every day 3. Stay at or under sodium 4. Stay within calories, and eat nor more than 1/2 of workout calories 5. Survive family get together this weekend.
