Me too Sani-As long as I don't buy it, I'm safe. My daughters have competitions with me. One is a salty though, and the other is a sweet. I am definitly a SWEET!:wink: Come on girls you can do this! I just went down and lifted weights while my Hubby tidied the basement and the kids played Wii. Get that CONTROL back, it…

Hey gang! Congrats Chrissy! How do you stay so good with the eats too? I caved last night and bought my Fave cookies from Costco.:angry: The real test now is to get back on track-actually they made feel nautious. My daughter kept telling me "you're gonna look old Mom, stop eating them".:laugh: I feel ok today. I keep…

Oh j,:sad: :cry: :heart: that makes me so sad to hear what you have to go through. PLEASE take care of yourself. You're family needs you-big or small. Try to go easier girl, I know it's tough.:smooched:

I usually do an hour or more of cardio, weights, or a circuit of both-that's big burn! I for burn at least 400 cals or more or I will dance around and get my HR up between sets.:wink:

Aww,:smooched: I know the FRUSTRATION, sadness, and anger you must go through. Being incapacitated while life goes on around you is soooo crappy. Nobody really understands either. Staying off work on dysability sounds great to those who work a lot and have busy lives, but in reality it's the missing of your peers, and…

Hey, j, sorry to hear of your probs. :smooched: Can it not be controlled with meds? How do the Docs ever expect you to have a normal life?:angry:

My son is also a chef and is getting a bit of a pot and is getting worried about it. I hear how rich the recipes are-egad! This is what I told him at the beginning of his chef course. I'm telling you to hopefully keep you motivated, not to offend you or anything. First of all, noone wants to see a fat chef. Chefs have very…

Hi-the last 2 days I've been lifting weights for 45 min.-hour or so, although it's weird, cause I don't even break a sweat. Oh well as long as I:happy: tone iguess. I just feel better doing cardio cause I actually feel I worked really hard. :bigsmile: Day 5 no crap!. Made an awesome postworkout smoothie. I call it-Kathy's…

:huh:

Don't step on the scale, except for once a week. Women fluctuate so much it's enough to make you crazy. I have been weighing everyday, for a long time now, and find it ruins my motivation. I haven't remeasured in a while, but I know I'm smaller and in control. (ok, it's only been 5 days...):blushing: :laugh: It was your…

Well, I haven't been sleeping well and my legs are sore. BUT I am going down to do weights today. I developed a new work out plan for myself last night, so time for the motivation to change! :drinker: . I made the mistake of weighing myself today, and of course I'm up. I ate well, and drank lots of water. Who knows. I…

Hi, I'm at 141.6 lbs. That's been for 2 weeks. Thanks:flowerforyou:

Man, I didn't realize I started so low. Hmmmm, must get it together and get lower. Too tired to ex now. Tomorrow am I will. (heard that one before).:drinker: Way to go Blues!

Sress=Cortisol=weight gain. Cortisol-the ugly stress/anxiety hormone that breaks down muscle, inceases blood sugar-which causes more insulin to be released by the pancreas, and therefore increased weight gain. Also is the reason you have an increased appetite and eat under stress. Fat deposits, especially around the tummy…

I'm sooo bagged but I'm lagging in my squats challenge. :yawn: j has got me motivated a tad....I'm going down to admire my cleaning job.:drinker: :heart: Nice to see our drifters back! Sometimes, there's just not time. hgam-You'll be able to run it! Mind over muscle-Once you start-go with a slow pace, and just keep telling…

May be 3? I'm not too sure about quatity is considered a serving. I've only had 2 fruit. Veggies just turn me off...:frown:

Welcome! You picked a great Team-we're awesome! Get on the exercise, water drinking, and clean eating wagon with us! We need a challenge-how about eating more veggies? That's my downfall for sure. :grumble: Let's say you have to post daily or when you can, how many veggie/fruit servings you have eaten. Anyone in?:huh:

fat free yogurt.:drinker:

No one noticed you lost 50 lbs? Geez, I notice EVERYONE, even if it's 10. Probably cause I'm obsessed, I always know how people look, what they eat, etc. But, I always make sure I let them know and tell them WTG! If people haven't said anything, it's cause they're jealous. Plain and simple. Good for you, and keep on…

I know how you feel, especially right now too-I want to do stuff this evening and exercise, but I feel like I might .My daughter was home today with the flu-AGAIN. I'll just drink my water.....

Gee I hate to say it Rach, but I've noticed a happier, less stressed, stronger girl, with a ticker that's moving in the right direction. Hate to say it, but this ol' girl knows exactly what it's like to rediscover yourself! ( and I told ya things would be better...).:wink: :glasses: Right on, keep on goin'!…

Wat to go Shark! Good for you on passing up the crap. Good luck in the regionals!

Hey j, , hang in there girl, I know how you feel. With my shoulder, I sooo wanted to work out, and couldn't, and felt so helpless. Just relax, get through this and be really careful with the cals. I'm surprised I didn't gain a ton when I was on bedrest for a month, but I stuck to 1200-1400 cals, (give or take-I had to have…

I so agree-some places have the info if you ask. ie Mcd's, Tim Horton's. When I asked at Tim's so I knew what muffin I should choose, they all stared at me. But the Manager got a booklet for me. Some places have them handy or on the wall. ie McD's. So I'm so pleased-get this.... A way back last year on my first trip with…

j- I feel for ya.:flowerforyou: I caved and ate crap, but the good news is PMS is over and I'm down almost 5 lbs of fluid. Still far from where I'm planning to be, and this number has come up often, but I have till Wed.. I'M GONNA STAY STRONG. Cleaning day today, so that will be my exercise. I'm shocked-I'm not even that…

Thanks! And now evening comes, I'm home alone with my pets, and we just want to snack on crap!:grumble:

Rant away....Iate awefully yesterday as we received the news we thought we would-bad and unreasonable for our cottage. My hubby is there and phoned me and all day I chowed, AND it is PMS week- so needless to say I feel aweful. So today, I went down to my dusty basement and exercised my little :heart: out and burnt 1338…

Woo hoo, start week 4 next week:bigsmile: ...Do you guys do different types of squats or just the standard ones?:huh:

Hang in there, and enjoy you and "you're alone" time. Before you know it, you'll have little velcro children hanging off your legs and you'll wish you could have that time again. I LOVE MY TIME. My 4 velcro kids are spreading their wings-scary, but after 20 yrs of pregnancy and dependent kids, it's sooo nice to have young…

Well I didn't sleep great last night and am sure tired today. Did the banking for the day, and we're broke for 2 more weeks! Ahhhh! My legs are still sore, but I will persevere later with the ex. I cannot stop eating at evening/night time! That's when I do so badly.:grumble: The day is great usually. Must break the aweful…
