Thanks Steph, I can't seem to get up to my 2100 calorie goal most days and that is what I really need to focus on. I know I am working out hard, but if I could just reach that 2100 calorie goal. But to be honest, I am not hungry. I ate a stinking ice cream cone the other night just to get me closer to the 2100 calories.…

This was my email to my Trainer this AM.... I figured I did not need to re-type it all.... I am just feeling beaten and down and angry.... sorry to be so down for a few days in a row now..... "Good morning Dan: So, this is your favorite (in my mind) student here…..and I am so mad I could just spit. Let me just start off by…

So, I worked out this AM…I was at the YMCA by 5AM and I ran…and ran and ran some more…I am sore and tired and crabby (Jovan crap going on) and I just want to go home and go to bed. I was so high on endorphins almost all day, and in one swoop….Jovan ruined it. I killed it last night in my basement gym…I mean KILLED it….I…

Wow....so much going on in here.... Yes, congrats to Sue and Veronica on moving. While I would love to move so that my house did not need to be remodeled....I will still just do the remodeling. LOL Soooo much work!!! It sounds like you both had awesome helpers though and that you both got good work outs.... Steph and…

OHHH.....Culo....I love the swimming lessons...I never would have thought about that. I think this fall when the weather is too bad to go outside, I want to look into taking some lessons...how many did you take or are you taking? I think that is a great idea!!!!!!!!!!

Culo....I am going to order today from CJ Banks....found two CUTE dresses for $20 each....what???? Yup....so.....I will order them and then I can always take them back to the local store if I really hate them. LOL The local store is 40ish miles away...otherwise I would go down there and see if they have them...but don't…

Oh, forgot to post my activity so far....I did nothing M and T....today did a 1.44 mile run/walk. Kind of more like a jog/walk...but I think I can walk faster than my run/jog pace. LOL But, I feel like a champion when I am attempting to run, and I am going longer distances each time I run...so that is a good thing. I can't…

Great job Steph. I have asked my doctor (2 weeks ago) to refer me to a sports medicine doctor and I am still waiting for a call back from them. I am getting a bit angry to say the least. I am so glad that you are getting some awesome help with your running...I went for jog/walk today and I honestly think I can walk faster…

Long weekend...and needless to say I have not reached any of my goals for this week. A bit frustrated, but getting back on the straight and narrow today. I made a huge batch of veggie/chicken soup for the week...it calorie counts in at 50 calories a cup!!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!! I can eat huge servings of this most yummy dish.…

They have one once you have gotten your training certification.....but it is an add on. Not sure where to go for just doing something nutrition? That may be a college class? Have no idea/

I am only familiar with NETA...that is what almost every one up here is certified through.

Have not heard of that one. Most of the trainers up in the northwoods are certified through NETA.

[And I want to get rid of the "bat wings" on my arms, or at least trim them down to butterfly wings! I have always had big arms. Back in the day, when I was athletic, people always thought I was a weight lifter because I have arms like a man! Even then I never wore sleeveless dresses, only t-shirt types.] thanks [/quote] I…

Sue---good luck with the move. Ugh...that is all I have to say about that. LOL I hate moving and will burn the darn house down before I have to pack again. (I say jokingly) Steph---spinning class....yuck yuck and more yuck...I say now. Perhaps this winter..when I am in a bit better shape. I will try one out if there is one…

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Welcome GiGi---I am 45, weigh 268 and have re-started more times than I care to count. I believe my BMI is some where are 51....I am not worried about BMI, I am worried about pounds and how I feel and pants size. I totally understand about the shirt sleeves too, but arms are pretty big and I…

I should have said strawberries....oh my....chocolate covered strawberries are just the best. A friend of mine sent me some from that Berrie company that advertises during valentines day and the were soooo good. Not something I would want frequently, but very good. Hmmm....chocolate covered grapes....doesn't sound bad? I…

Oh...can I just post that I really don't EVER WANT TO SEE THE NUMBER 270 EVER EVER AGAIN? Ugh....I needed that loss so badly today on the scale....What a mood enhancer....only 69 pounds to onderland....LOL sigh....gosh, when you say it that way...seems like a really long ways away!!! :noway:

Okay Warrior sisters…..#1 Thank you all so much yesterday with your help. I was becoming a bit manic with the calorie thing and you all helped me sooo much. After talking with my trainer last night, he wants me to go up to 2100 calories a day for the next week and see where that gets me…YIKES!!!!!!! Freaking out a bit, but…

Okay, while this is making more sense to me....I just can't wrap my brain around eating those extra calories. LOL BUT....I will give it a try...that means I need to get up in the AM and get my main hard core work out in then...or plan my work outs better, because I do not want to be eating 1000 calories after 6pm if I can…

Diana-thank you...that makes more sense...so ummmm...yes....I think so?

Diana So net calories according to the report page for this past week for me: 7/3=0, 7/4=1343, 7/5=1275, 7/6=2009 (bad day), 7/7=517 and 7/8=650. My daily goal is 1800... ? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/reports (this should be my NET calorie page for the last 30 days) Not sure if this link will work or not...my work computer…

I am just so confused!!!!! I am too afraid to eat the calories back now because I had such a crap two weeks. I was trying to look back at my nets and the only place I can find them in the reports section, the one day nothing is showing up...so I am assuming I was in the negatives that day? I guess I have never looked at…

Sue, where did you find your EM2WL community? I found that I was hungry a good portion of the day today. I just had a mushroom omelet with feta cheese and I am still hungry. I am freaking about calories to be honest. I am not sure, with working out as much as I am that 1800 calories is going to cut it. If I am hungry, I am…

Culo- I have two months to get ready for the trip and it does not have to be straight through. It is a trail in the back country and lots of little places to stop and "smell the roses" if you will. The person I am going with is awesome as well, so she knows how I am and stuff. The back up plan will be the husband. If we…

Steph- Thank you for the words of encouragement, that is why I love this group so much. I did have a bad "naughty" Sunday. I told the hubby last night, if I ask him to get a blizzard, to please get a small one...DQ was closed that night because the electricity was out, so he went to Culvers and they are higher in calories.…

Do you happen to have a friend that lives near you that could help? I asked a lady that I 'kind of knew' if she would start being my walking partner. I had met her a few times at the YMCA and around town and we would talk...but I told her that I needed a partner to hold me accountable. She was knocking on my door at 4:45…
