Where I am at 6 weeks!
I honestly thought I was not going to move the scales this week! Not because I wasn't doing anything, but because of how I felt! I always weigh in after exercise and shower on my weigh in days and this morning I stepped on the scale and I was down 1.8lbs! Stepped on it again...:noway: same thing!!! I'm so excited as that…

Craving Salt!!!
Oh, this is such a weakness of mine! I salt while I cook and salt while I eat, but I've been giving up some of it to an extent. Today; however, I wanted something salty so bad that I went and got some Cape Cod "salt & vinegar" chips. I halfed the bag with my son, so I didn't take in the whole 2.25oz bag. I ate about 150cal…

I want to exercise!!!
I have a hard time taking an "off" day from exercise! Today is the "off" day and I want to do something SO bad! Has anyone else ever experienced it? I'm not hungry, not tired, not ill, but I'm MOTIVATED, and I know my body needs needs a break. I do cardio for 20-30 minutes every morning and then around 4:30 I do more…

added up all my options!
I went to bed last night thinking about all the exercises that I do and I sat down and made a list of them! DVDs are Buns of Steel, Turbo Sculpt, Ab Jam, my Elliptical, Step DVD, Heart & Soul dance DVD, and Turbo Jam Burn (currently). Not to mention that I walk outside when possible! So, I made myself an exercise schedule…

How accurate are these calories?
I just worked out this morning for 50 min- 30 cardio and 20 weights, so I had a lot of extra calories. We have a sonic 2 miles from home:explode: and with it being Sunday, we stopped by Sonci for a quick lunch and I had the extra calories, so I was going to indulge in a grilled chicken sandwich! I looked up the calories…

adding a meal to food diary
When I went to add a meal to the food diary, I pulled up the ingredient and it will give me the serving, but say I use the whole can, pkg, or container, how can I do that and then break it up into servings? I looked but didn't find this to be an option! Chances are, I'm not going to eat 1/3 c of cheese in a serving that…

My Birthday Party...you're invited!!
Here's the plan...3 weeks from tomorrow (Nov 13) is my birthday! I'm having a party and you are invited, but here's the catch...I have to lose 4 more lbs to reach my first mini goal by then. Anyone who wants to join me in losing the 4lbs by then is invited! I need 39 candles, so each lb lost will count for one candle!…

I got the perfect gift....
My DH went shopping for my birthday and he bought me a video (30 day shred), a nice adjustable step with video, 2, 3, and 4 lb weights, and a nice windpant suit! I love him so much:heart: He told me he was happy with my weight, but he wanted to buy that because he knew that would make me happy and he knows I'm working…

Welcome to the B-day party!!!!!!
Well, it's finally here (my birthday) and today we are putting our candles on the cake! Anyone can add candles and I'll be looking for all of you who RSVP'd to the invitation:wink: Add your pounds lost since OCT 22! 1lb lost = 1 candle.........I need 39 and the leftovers will be the balloons! I did reach my mini goal to be…

Please come forward...
I apologize if this has already been before, but I would love to hear from you that have lost 35lbs or more. I have 35lbs to lose and it seems so far away. You are an encouragement to me and I'm sure many others. I certainly don't want to take away from those who have lost less because I know you are like me and proud of…

baking/grilling tilapia
I have tilapia thawing for dinner tonight. We have a ballgame tonight (my kids) and I'm only going to have an hour at home to cook it...any good ideas? Or should I leave it in the refrigerator and go to plan B (don't know what that is yet).

just found a new snack
I'm not an apple eater, but I went to the store last night and ran across Chiquita Apple Bites with Caramel!!! One container comes with 4pks of washed and ready to eat apples. One pack only has 70 calories and each pack also has it's own little container of caramel! It's pretty good!
-
I've never noticed...
Say we drop 10lbs or 20 or whatever, does the calorie intake for the day adjust to that? Or even 2lbs for that matter? Just wondered about that!

my pants are having a bad day
I bought a pair of 16 slacks two months ago because the 14's were just too snug. They fit pretty good, too good actually:cry: Anyway, I put them on this morning and I noticed I needed a belt. I have been wearing them all day. I feel slouchy in them, so I had to break the news to them and tell them this would be the last…

All mixed up...
I have a lot to say, so I'm going to number my topics and you can answer to one or all or none, I just need to sort this out, lol Topic 1 First of all, I'm thinking about starting some strength training and build up some of this flab ( I hope) . I've never done strength training in my life that I know of, but you all make…

after two weeks...
I measured myself for the first time two weeks ago! I got out of the shower last night and thought i'd measure again just to see if I was making progress. I could see a difference in the thigh measurements, but not really anywhere else. Is that normal? To lose more in one place than the other? This is all new to me. I do…
-
same exercise or variety?
I'm wondering how many of you mix up your exercise routines? A typical week for me (and it goes by so fast) is like this: I work out on my elliptical every morning and depending on how many times I hit snooze, I will work out from 10 to 30 min. In the afternoons I choose one of these: step for 30min, walking-30 min,…

just curious
So, where does fat go? I went to bed last night thinking about the fact that we all burn away the fat from our bodies, but exactly what happens to it? NOT THAT I CARE as long as it doesn't fall on my hips, lol just curious about it:tongue:

Friday's water challenge...
First of all, let me say that I don't like water AT ALL!! So, for myself and anyone who feels the same way, I am making a challenge just for today to get in 40oz! DON'T LAUGH:laugh: ...I said I don't like water!! Maybe next Friday I will be up to 41oz haha- This is a big deal for me, but if you are one who can drink…

dipped my hand in the halloween bucket!
Oh my...temptation almost overtook me last night! I was sitting in the floor filling the litttle baggies with goodies when all of a sudden, I couldn't resist:noway: I wanted two pieces that I had been eyeing the entire time, so I looked on the pkg to see how many calories it had and I had around 300 cal left for the day…

I can't be the only one....
Does anyone else ever find themselves "addicted" to this site? I feel like I have to constantly have this in a minimized window so I can pull it up at a moments notice. Heaven forbid I miss something going on in here:noway: There are so many good things happening to everyone and I love to hear about it! I realized I was…

how often?
Can anyone tell me how often you measure yourself? I have only measured myself once in my life (thanks to all MFP who encouraged me:drinker: ) and that was Oct 18. When should I measure again? Keep in mind that I weigh daily:wink: I'm not that patient:happy: just kidding:tongue:

Turbo Jam Learn & Burn
So I did the "Burn' video last night (20 minutes) and I'm sore, but not in the core of my tummy! It's the muscles that would hurt if you bent over side to side. Thought that was a little strange, but I'll take it! Has anyone else experienced this with this particular video?

Just for today:)
Just for today, take a moment and say something POSITIVE about YOURSELF! :love: Being a mom, a wife, a student, or employee, ect...sometimes we tend to think of everything else but ourselves which is fine, but we all need to take a minute for ourselves in the routine of life! So, if you are stressed and you feel like…

machine calories vs HRM calories...hmmm
Okay- I may have found out why I'm only losing tenths of a lb/week! I have been over calculating my calories burned. I bought a HRM (PolarF6) and I love it so far. I think it's very accurate! I was on my elliptical this morning for 20 min and the machine said I had burned 225 calories. My HRM (which was right on target…

Those new scales...arghh
So I went to walmart and bought new bathroom scales! It has a memory feature and shows your last weight and tells whether you are up or down and by how much. I'm standing there trying to figure out how to operate this thing and was happy that it revealed the same weight as my old scales. Oh, and this scale can read and…

A weekend wish...
Just want to remind everyone ( myself included) to make good choices this weekend! Exercise those extra calories away that you didn't plan on and enjoy whatever you do- Hope you all have a great weekend!:heart:

I'm excited!
Baby steps, I know, but I just ordered the PolarF6 HRM!! I've been reading reviews from where I ordered it about the transmitter, but it comes with one and i guess I'll just use that one until the battery dies and then buy the fabric transmitter (the more comfy one) ! I'm hoping this will give me a more accurate number on…
