uhhhhh, nothing great to say. Been busy all day. Running errands, visiting friend at hospital, shopping for bargains, eating at Chinese buffet...... LOL Chubs, (I feel comfortable calling you that because it's a pet name and doesn't describe you anymore :bigsmile: ) BUT I totally agree with Beeps. Lay it on THICK. SAM,…

After viewing Cowgirl's back photos, I came directly here to tell you to CHANGE YOUR NAME!!!! You look great. Thanks to yall. I am feeling good . It feels awesome to see the scale go down. If the saddlebags would just go down :grumble: I need to take a current pic in that same outfit to see if I look different. I know the…

Sue , LOL, your VLC is my maintenance :sad: AND If you don't have to then don't! You are seeing changes and that's what matters. We all have to learn what our body requires. I have fought for almost TWO years against what I knew my body requires. I soooooo wanted to be able to eat what calculators or Lou said. Women aren't…

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!! 149.0 :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile: :drinker: SEVEN stinkin pounds gone! Sueboo, what is VLC. I still lift. I HAVE to do cardio first or my energy is gone. maz, I never attempted it. Lou and Alwyn said to steer clear so I did. We are suppose to get a taste of winter next week. 28 degrees for a low.…

I had to increase my cardio for the scale to move. 30 minutes of cardio at the moment it is elliptical. Eventually, I hit the stationary bike and treadmill. Followed by 15-30 minutes of lifting.

OH yeah, the more processed junk I eat , the more I crave them . My favorite processed food is sugary cereal. I haven't had any in months and I don't crave it. Would I like to eat some? YES . but I don't crave it like I used to. Lifted today while hubs watched the sick one. I had to decrease some weights. I could not lift…

SamBam and SueBoo have been quiet lately. Something going on in the NE? My girl was dx at 4. FIVE years ago this month.

I needed those oreos. My baby , who is type 1 diabetic, had a fever from Friday and still a low grade at the moment. We were up until almost 3 Saturday am and back up by 9:30. I had to constantly check blood, urine for ketones, and give shots. UGH. I needed the indulgence. I went to bed at 10:30 last night . Slept 12 HOURS…

As yall know, I take the weekends off from exercising. I've also decided to take a break from a rigid diet today. A much needed break ... Now it's time to log those 6 oreos!:noway:

Thanks yall! Guess what! I got on the scale after workout........149.6!! :bigsmile: I know that's just water weight but I LOVE seeing it. I know I am so close. Yes, Beeps, I 've been consistent AND I had to start cardio. It's the only way the scale would move.I use the elliptical no less than 3xweekly . I gradually…

Scale 150.6 today. It didn't move in the direction I wanted. but oh well, official weigh in isn't until next week. I was looking forward to seeing 140's. I'll be on that scale all weekend :laugh: Not wanting to lift or cardio. It's one of those blah days. But I want to see 149 soon so I'll go.

cowgirl! WHAT! You are in the 150's? :noway: Isn't it funny how our bodies are so different? I have way too much fat on my body for my body type. I am guessing I need to lose a good 20 pounds to be close to a size 6/8. currently 12. AND You are an RN? You may have told me that too. LOL I am one too. I don't work. Haven't…

YES ! I can hardly contain myself. LOL I got on the scales a few minutes it ago. It said 151. Hoping tomorrow it says 149!!!!

quite possible :laugh: :tongue: Just do your stuff . I could NEVER do the single leg dumbbell something other. LOL I looked ridiculous at the gym but I didn't care. At least I was MOVING. maz, you are doing GREAT. I haven't done NROL4W in forever. I stay here and talk with friends. Bepee, awesome! Glad your wrist is back…

No workout today . Had to run errands in the larger city nearby. You go , JO! I can't workout that early. Someone to watch the little one....... Sam, you need some REST. Take a break from lifting. Have you had one lately? Clam, ooooooh just wait. There will be plenty of exercises to test your balance. :tongue: But I found…

Got a workout in. 30 elliptical and a little over 20 lifting. A nice young man probably middle 20's watched me do a couple arm curls . Walked up and said, "can I show you something?" ME: "sure." He said, "go down in weight and hold your elbows in......." So I did what he said. My son tells me that the elbows in are correct…

My gym was closed today. :( I really needed a workout. I could have walked around the neighborhood but I didn't. Bepeejaye, I am sorry I haven't done NROL4W in forever . I can't comment on that. But I do remember stage 2 and 3 kicked butt!

ugh! today has not been a good day eating! Went out to eat for lunch. Snacked on candy all afternoon. I haven't finished logging. Don't think I want to. I'll just eat at a deficit over the next few days. I am suppose to increase cals tomorrow but I'll stay at last week's amount for a few days before I increase. (so I can…

yeah I don't recover very much between exercises. I like to keep my heart rate going. I guess I'm struggling with the weight so it takes me a little longer to get the exercise done??? Unofficial weigh in today. I lost 0.8 pounds :bigsmile: Sam, I've tried to get my hubby to workout. He hates it. He won't do cardio and says…

Thanks, cowgirl. I took my prescribed NSAIDs 2xdaily . I'm feeling good today. Thankful I took a rest. Sam, I was in my pjs until 2 pm!!! OK a quick question. Have yall noticed as you increase the weights the longer the workout becomes? For example: My workout was 15 minutes with 3 circuits. I don't count the exercises. I…

I didn't go. It was a difficult decision. Got all dressed and ready but I KNEW the elliptical or lifting would exacerbate the problem. Yeah , it feels great I need my nails done.

It's been too quiet here lately. Where yall been?

Not sure what I want to do today. My sciatic nerve is acting up. I feel it throb occasionally. Today is arm and leg day and that might exacerbate the problem. I can go and just do arms but I know me. I'll throw in a few squats and leg curl/extensions too.

It is better to ask the staff on the weight. BUT if it is super long--45 pounds. or shorter but just as thick--35 pounds. just wanted to add I LOST 1.2 POUNDS!!! :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :tongue:

I sure did!!:drinker: Today is lifting. My biceps are still sore from son's workout. He doesn't show mercy. Today is shoulders, back, and abs. Welcome, Clam.

I don't see that either :wink: ARGHHHH ! Having a tough night. I really want to eat , but I am not hungry. It's a craving. Last night I made the family bbq pork and cornbread. Plenty of cornbread leftover. It is sealed tightly in a container. I can hear it calling my name. It wants to be drowned in milk. I'm trying to…

Yep, don't see them. :bigsmile:

Feltlike, welcome! I am doing the same. I add cardio in because I have a LOT of fat to lose.

Stepped on the scales. I am back down to what i was last week. yeah yeah I know. :indifferent: I did some measurements since it has been a while. Since spring I've lost: natural waist --1.75 inch loss Belly button -- 3 inch loss butt/saddlebag area-- .5 loss lower ab (below BB) -- 3 inch loss shoulder-- INCREASE 1 inch…

Not sure if I'll lift today! My son helped me change up the workout yesterday. My biceps are killing me. Even though today is a shoulder, back, and ab workout, I honestly don't feel like moving. I need to rest today. Pmag, thanks. But you haven't seen me naked!:noway: Rilde, I watch the show but missed the a lot of the…
