Hello, Jorean. you CAN do this. Sounds like fun, Beeps. Just like my family. When I go MIA, they come looking for me. Today is weigh in day and I am NOT happy. Scale is up 8/10 from last week. Almost a full STINKIN pound! Saturday I was down 2.5 pounds. :angry: So I am hitting this Rotation Diet full force this week. No…

Hi ladies. a great big boohoo for me. Tomorrow is weigh in day and the scales this am said a 4 pound increase from Saturday am!! HOW did that happen! I'm hoping it's just water retention and be back down tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your friend, Beeps. That sounds BRUTAL! My daughter asked me if you were a "monster hi…

Hello, ladies! guess what!!! I am down another half pound this am. Not gonna log it because the "real" weigh in isn't until Monday. So we'll see how accurate it is. I've tried the other methods of losing weight because I DON'T like what works for me but we all aren't cookie cutters. Yes, I am hungry. Yes, it sucks. Yes, I…

Hello, Bepee. You'll love NROL. I am SORE today! whew! Increasing those weights really worked. not sure if I can pick up ANYTHING today. not even a fork :laugh: I really want to weigh. Monday /TUesday was TOM. I wonder if the scale moved a little. My son gave me the greatest compliment. He noticed my hips are smaller! he…

Beeps!!! That is amazing work you have done. You look awesome and I wouldn't "listen" to the dexascan. Sam, I hope it's a funk. You look amazing too. It does get monotonous. Maybe switch up your routine....? I didn't do cardio or lifting Tuesday due to SEVERE cramping and Wednesday because of errands. Today I worked hard…

Hello, everyone! Beeps, I lift 4 x weekly and it's usually 2 days in a row. Like today I worked on arms and legs. Tomorrow will be shoulders, back, abs. I have noticed when I work arms the only lift I have trouble with the next day is the assisted pull up. It works the biceps as well. Sue, you amaze me! The most I…

Thanks, Sue boo! Yes we will get through this but ya know, I wish it would go away and never rear its ugly head. Sam, I made a pumpkin cheesecake last night. It isn't as good as Olive Garden though!!! <--- husband wanted a candy bar. He brought this home even after I said I did NOT want anything. I was hoping he would just…

Ha! Too funny, Sam. My husband and I have been together 26 years in February and married 22 same month! That's SCARY. We are all each other has known. We were barely 16. Thanks Geeks and Cowgirl. I feel like I am spinning my wheels. I really do appreciate the kinds words. Geeks, we support each other, tell it like it is,…

I decided to do about a 250 deficit for the next 3 days. I HOPE I can do it. I was over about 700 cals yesterday. No workout today. We worked in the yard some. Pulling out old mulch that has piled up over the years and adding new fresh mulch. Cowgirl, I'm just FAT everywhere. My size 12 are too tight. I broke down and…

Thanks Beeps!:flowerforyou: Now to finish logging yesterday. :noway:

I have a diet question for yall. I went way over last night on calories. I mean WAY OVER. I didn't even finish logging because I'm afraid to know. Anyway, when I do find out should I create a minor deficit each day to even out for the week? I thinking if I was over 600 calories to decrease each day by 200 to level out.…

made it to the gym!! I NEVER go at 7:30 pm. Sam is my inspiration. If she can go at 9 pm after an exhausting day so can I. The bad part, I'm still hungry. :grumble: Sipping coffee is not helping.

You're looking great Beeps. Today is not a good day. Hormonal. exhausted due to hormones. Appetite is raging. I can't get full. No workout because I couldn't muster the energy. I took a 2 hour nap today. We went out to eat for supper.I tried Cracker Barrel's baked breaded chicken. DRY! I had to return it and asked for the…

The elephant? It was pretty funny with that post. Had a great cardio and lifting session. eh, I am feeling puny. it's the blahs and hormones. There isn't enough time in the day to do what I need to do. How do you women work, take care of kids, take care of the home, and exercise? I

:bigsmile: :laugh: I'll change it.

Oh my goodness, ladies! Your confessions could be mine. I had to decide which one seemed the worst . I am way under today. Lunch was difficult for me to eat. We stopped at a Seafood place. You know , we are in such of shortage of them around the South. :huh: Anyway, it's always fried but their "fish of the day" was grilled…

<This is how I feel today. Pre-tom week You are welcome, Sue. Beeps, I am just now working on my STEEP deficits. The weighing and measuring really has been helping. I was eating a lot more than I thought. :grumble: I cut back on my bad carbs. The plan is to do this for 3 weeks and take a week break. Hopefully,, I don't…

SueBoo, you have it in you! You are my inspiration and I know you are doing just fine. It doesn't hurt to mix things up. In fact, I have read it is good sometimes to not "diet". So you haven't fallen, you are taking a break.:flowerforyou: Yesterday all I thought about was food. I stayed within my limits but it was HARD.…

Beeps, only front and back in my underwear :noway: . Front clothed. None side view. Didn't think of that one. No lifting or cardio today. I am sure am hungry though. It's pre-TOM so that must be the problem.

You know what! I have forgotten to track my protein this week. I've logged but haven't really held myself accountable on a daily basis! :embarassed: I'll do better tomorrow. My son went to the gym with me. My egotistical 18 year old who doesn't have an ounce of body fat . He had me doing several different exercises. He…

<To those who haven't seen this. No weight loss (minus a half pound or pound since May) . It isn't a major transformation but I can see that my skirt hangs differently on me than before.

the previous post should say "not a big MEAT eater" I am definitely a big eater :laugh: OH , and I forgot to tell yall I've lost another 1/2 inch off natural waist. But nothing on the lower half BOO!

Hey ladies. no lifting or cardio today. I bought 2 bushels of apples for $13 each . I have a bushel left to make applesauce, apple butter, and apple pie filling. I would like to get it finished today. I was actually eating more meat than I thought ! I'm not a big eater but it seems I was eating close to portion size by…

So I asked about weighing meat before or after cooking. I need clarification please. Do I want 3 oz weighed before I cook? I lifted today .

I have to weigh my food because I wasn't losing by estimating. So now I weigh and measure all my food for an accurate calorie count.

UGH! Only got in 45 g protein today . But like I said, I'm taking this one day at a time. I'm really wanting to eat. I'm not hungry. It must be stress and it is 2 weeks before TOM....... No workout today either. Took the 45 minute drive to the city to shop and just get out of the house. Back at it tomorrow. Sam, it's ok…

Pmag!!! Those are great #'s. I wasn't dl 110 until WAY in the program. GREAT JOB. Yes, cowgirl, it is expensive to eat this way. I usually take the weekends off . I try to stay within a decent calorie range (not as low during the week) and not really count macros. Sam, it feels good to come home and do nothing, right? Just…

115 carbs, 27 fat, and 73 protein!!! Thanks Sue and Cowgirl.:flowerforyou: It means a lot that someone notices my effort. :blushing: One day I hope to get the protein as high as yalls. I would have to become creative though. I am a creature of habit. Carbs are higher to day than I would like but that's what I get for…

How's this for macros Carbs 58, fat 28, and protein 85!!! I think this is the best I've ever had. I wish I didn't care about bf%. My lower body is so FATTY!

I. DON'T. BELIEVE. IT. You look so much slimmer than 28% bf.
