  • I had a terribly bad weekend...In every area-Eating (everything), exercising (none), attitude (self-pitying)-All I've done the past 2 days is mope around and make everyone else around me miserable too. I think I'm becoming a little to obsessive about losing weight. And I didn't think it was even possible for me to be more…
  • That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!!:laugh:
  • Thank you all for the input-I guess I should toss the scale and pull out the measuring tape instead. I feel like I look better, and I feel better about myself just in general, so that has to account for something! Instead of a goal weight, I'm just going to go with goal measurements from now on...Size 8 pants that I love…
  • So, against my better judgement, and after NUMEROUS people told me yesterday NOT to do it, I got on the scale this morning. Can someone please tell me how after walking 4 miles, an hour long Body Pump class, and 30 minutes on the elliptical I gained another pound? I've gained 3 pounds since Monday, and I've been working…
  • Wow-56 pounds! That's awesome! Yes, this site is wonderful...And the people are beyond helpful! Good luck with the last 30!!
  • Wow...It seems like they get along really well-Why did they divorce?? It just seems strange to me that you would get a divorce and then continue to act a lot like a married couple...Or at least a "dating" couple. I guess that some people do get along better when they aren't married, but this seems extreme. Your boyfriend…
  • Oh my gosh! You're kidding!! :laugh:
  • You are doing so awesome! It is amazing how you are able to keep yourself away from all the office goodies...If there was a bag of cookies laying out in my office all week...Well, they wouldn't be there today because I would've already polished 'em all off! I know what you mean about those yummy commericials-Last night my…
  • Thank you all for the help and great information! Since I'm so new to this "eat to lose" way of thinking, I know I'm going to have to play around with different foods and different calorie amounts to find out what works for me and my body! And I guess I can't really complain about eating more calories...Although it is kind…
  • Huh-So here are my "mistakes" -Exercising in the AM-I go to bed at 10, get up at 4...Only 6 hours of sleep. Better change my bedtime! -I either never drink, or have way more than 1. I don't think that this really matters though. -The AC in my office is CRANKED UP! It's chilly in here...Every day, all day. -I exercise to…
  • Okay...So I changed my goals to 1 pound a week which changed my daily calorie intake from 1200 to 1410-That is scary! But, trying it for a week won't hurt. Obviously 1200/day isn't doing too much! But now, even with all of my food for the day entered, I still have over 500 calories left because of my exercise calories!…
  • I know I should only weigh once a week...It's hard for me though, because I feel like I'm able to keep better control of what I'm eating if I know I have to weigh the very next day. I can try not to weigh until Monday...But I'm not promising anything!! :laugh: As for measuring everything, I've been looking into buying a…
  • Thanks for the props :blushing: I think I'm going to up my water intake-I'm not sure if I drank enough yesterday?? I forgot to track it and now I'm not sure, but I probably didn't get enough. Who knows. Certainly not me! But I'm just going to carry a bottle around with me at all times-In fact I'm almost done with my first…
  • Don't you hate money worries?!? My husband has an awesome job, and mine isn't half bad, and we still have problems making ends meet...Oh well. He's getting a raise next month so I know we'll be fine, but I feel your pain! Are you not logging calories anymore?? What made you decide that?
  • I'm eating 1200 calories-I set my goals at 2 pounds/week, so that's what MFP gave me. And yes, I eat my exercise calories every day...I love exercise calories! :love: Maybe once or twice a week I might be 100 under, but I certaintly make up for those days I'm under on the rare days when I go 100 over my calories. Do you…
  • I knew I was celebrating my move from the 160s prematurely. Tuesday and Wednesday I weighed in at 159, so I figured I could at least maintain it, if not lose more...Well, nope. Not me. Of course I gain weight! This morning I weighed in at 161.8. I can't even keep it at 160 or a low 161. I have to push it up to basically…
  • Yay for collar bones :bigsmile:
  • Has anyone ever done a Body Pump class at their gym? Basically it's an hour of total body weights done to fast pace music. I just got back from a class, and I had fun, and I will probably be sore tomorrow, but I don't think I got such a great workout. I love to come home from a workout dripping sweat, and I barely broke…
  • What's the one (or two or three) body part that you can't wait to show off once you hit your goal weight? For me-It's my collar bones! I don't want them sticking out all sickly like, but for some reason I love prominent collar bones. :laugh: I guess that's all I really want to show off, besides how rockin' my whole body…
  • Sushi is disgusting! My husband LOVES it and tries to get me to eat some every time we go to an Asian restaurant...I've even tried the kind with no fish in it-Just vegetables...I can't handle it! I think part of it is having to stick that WHOLE thing in my mouth at once...Ugh. And fish of any kind is just gross. And if…
  • That's neat...Thanks!
  • Where is Banks??

  • I would love some pics! Have you ever tried Spanx? I love 'em...Wear them every time I'm in a dress!! Good luck with your belly-dancing-I would love to try that! It looks and sounds like a lot of fun!
  • I'm not feeling so hot today myself. We just have to keep on going-At least log your calories if you're not able to work out. And if you feel up to it, just go for a walk. I'm praying that I start to feel a bit better so that I can go to a body pump class this afternoon! Feel better!
  • "And I have a ponytail holder in my hair, and my earrings are still in, plus I was holding my breath..." :laugh:
  • Height: 5 feet 5 1/2 inches Weight: Varied, 115 - 120 lbs. Measurements: 37-23-36 (Studio's Claim); 35-22-35 (Dressmaker's Claim) Here we go! :laugh: Who knows how accurate all this is, but I got it from: http://www.marilynmonroe.com/about/facts.html Dang-Her waist was tiny!!
  • Ya know-It doesn't really matter what she weighs...She looks beautiful in both pictures!! I love having healthy looking role-models like that!
  • I am right there with you! Yesterday we were having our "pizza party" at the office, and I had to run back to my computer so that I could log the pizza and find out how much damage I was doing! I'm on MFP ALL DAY LONG at the office...Can't beat that!
  • Geez! When I lived in TX we never had to put our weight on our license, but when I moved to OK I did! They were going over the normal questions-Eye color, corrective lenses, height, then they said weight and I panicked with all the numbers running through my head! In the end I was so flustered that I just blurted out my…
  • There's no way Marilyn weighs 140 in that picture! How tall was she?? Man-If she weighs 140, is that what I will look like? :love: I think she has to weight more 125ish...She looks SO tiny!
