New Year, New You - January Daily Weigh In

[Kukkie84]

Runningfromfat – I haven’t watched it yet either! But it’s on my PVR waiting for me. Don’t forget to get your water in today!

Coon – I think I beat you to that lust factor with Dolvett Glad to hear that Jack is doing better. I don’t think I ever told you this, but Peru sounds like an amazing opportunity for both you and the munchkin!

Jldsgirl – Great job on your 3 down for the week.

Carter – good luck with the deadline at work! Hope it all goes well. And great job on your 2lbs down. Stay hydrated.
Susie – I know all too well what those headaches are like. Glad it’s getting better.

Diana – back in your maintenance range! I did get my fix yesterday, although I much prefer making my own coffee at home in the mornings. I finally did just that this morning, first home-brewed cup in over 72 hours Madness!!

Angie – sorry to hear about the job stuff, but I can totally relate. Where do you get your Greek Yogurt in cups?! I didn’t know they came in cups! Your company is quite a large organization, you’ll be able to find something else internally for sure.

Rennie – today is day 1 right? Hope it’s going well – just wanted to let you know I’m thinking of you

to everyone I missed

P.S. Where on earth is Aimee - is she still vacationing?

[Kukkie84]

Btw, has anyone heard from Roxy (fitgirlygirl) - I'm really worried about her.

[Angie]

I’m down 2.4 today to 215.8 – this is so wonky, I’m all over the place this week. I’ll chalk it up to some good choices and some bad, and I’m actually suffering a pretty rotten cold right now, so maybe that’s messing with me as well. Today is a good day food wise, I’m POP so far, and I’ll keep it that way if I have to go to bed at 7:00! Lol I did get in a 30 minute walk on the treadmill last night, so I’m happy about that.

to Lindy87, Kukkie, and Susie (good job since Sunday!)

Diana – Good morning! I’m sneaking in a visit while I eat my lunch at work  Great job on your 1.2 today, you are back in your range!

Jldsgirl -- I want to call you Amanda, but we have another Amanda too so that could be confusing…Can I use your last initial or your middle name to differentiate? I think I just have to get more strict with myself…once I get a few days on plan under my belt I can get rolling again. My son is my main reason for getting healthy too. I’m glad that your son’s condition is stable at least. Good job on your 1lb loss today. Housework is great for burning calories

Teleutesl – Congratulations on your first 10lbs!

Carter – Good luck with your deadline

Coondocks – I really like Dolvett too, I wasn’t crazy about Anna, so I wasn’t sorry that she didn’t come back.

[Angie]

Kukkie -- I get the cups at Metro, they sell both Liberte and Oikos brands, and last weekend I saw one more brand there at the BCC location.

Ohh no worries, if i want to talk about the show i'll move it over to the TBL thread . . but that Dovlett . . . gotta love that.

I actually haven't seen the last half either, so I have no idea what happened, when you do see it can you let me know?

Weigh in today 188.6 up 0.2 from yesterday. Today is my official re-start again date.

Thanks Angie, it is heartbreaking. I so wish she had decided to go to college then I could drive there when I felt like it. But that's probably just selfish huh. She told me to let go yesterday so she could hug everybody but she came back to me for one last hug. We talked twice last evening on her trip there and when she got to the gate. The hurting thing was when she sent me a text at 1:27a.m. and I thought I heard the ding but wasn't sure. Then I read this morning that even though they arrived at 8p.m. after getting their gear, eating and whatever else they were just allowing them to go into the barracks and they had to get up in 2 hours (3:30a.m.) I wanted to cry. She had to get up at 4a.m. yesterday and stand in the cold (her fault there because she didn't take what I packed for her) but it still made me sad.

Hi susie :good to see you

Thanks Diana, I know this week she can still use her phone. We were told until Monday but we shall see. After that we can just write. I have written 3 letters already. but I don't have an address yet. Diana you'd go stir crazy in the house with no work . Good job on the 1.2lbs down yesterday

Have a great evening everyone

[RRB2]

[love2b150]

Kukkie that's how I feel about the 180, I keep toying with 189 and I actually see 191 when I hop on before bed. We have to get away from the edge Hoping for a great weigh in tomorrow Kukkie good job on the 1,4lbs down ... Thanks and yes today is day 1. It was officially 24 hours since I have seen her at 2pm and it will be 24hrs since I spoke to her at 8pm but I'll be at Bible study so I'll be ok. I got that text this morning about her only getting two hours of sleep and almost cried. I go in her room and my chest hurts. I was talking to my neighbors and got all choked up. They told me it'll get better in a couple of weeks but the first two weeks are gonna be like this. sigh I was wondering about Aimee also. When swimming was mentioned I thought about our Swimgirl Roxy and Aimee are both on FB but I haven't been on lately.

runningfromfat, I love coffee also but prefer to buy it out, so that helps me not to drink it because I don't want to pay for it and I chew enough sugarless gum for a few people ... for 168 tomorrow for you and 186 for me ... I heard they are putting a Sonic near us. I told my son we'll have to walk there eat in the grass and walk back to get the calories off

PreciousMissy, that is an amazing thing. I wish were discouragingly amazing

Hi Nicki good job on the 1lb down yesterday

Hi Lizz

Salley congrats on 10 days in ONEderland

Ona great weigh in, trust me the new decade can't hide from you long Thanks, I told her to stayed prayed up. I sent a prayer book with scripture reference with her. Thanks, I do have one on the wall but it has a different background. I should have got a larger print though.

Hi Stace

Jldsgirl, glad your son is ok I know what you mean about the house cleaning we have 4 at home and unless I say something they act like it's spotless in here. My Mom says I have myself to blame, I created the monsters along with my laxed hubby and that wasn't a rant at all. You haven't seen anything yet Good job on the 3lbs down for the week

Steph like Angie said, just continue to do what you are doing and show them what a real winner looks like Good job on the .4 down yesterday

susie sorry about the headache yesterday glad it's going away Good job on the 4lbs gone

Angie I'm struggling with this 4th or 5th time around too. I want to eat everything . Today so far my only slip up is two shortbread cookies at 170 calories. Alright Angie 2.4lbs down I wanna do that

Hi Lindy good to see you

Where is Amanda? Hope all is well, thinking about you. Hope you did well on your exams.

Teleutesl Congrats on 10lbs gone

Diana good job on your 1.2lbs down today

carter good job on your 2lbs gone and hope things went well with your deadline

Coondocks Sorry about the slight up glad Jack is feeling better, have fun essersising

Hi RRB2 good job on the pound down

[Salley]

Good evening, everyone!
Rennie So sorry for your heavy heart!
Susie All the withdrawals that happen when starting to eat well are no fun. Glad your headache is starting to get better.
Coondocks Glad Jack is beginning to pick up some.
Diana Congrats on your -1.2! Thanks for the advice about increasing my calories. I think you may be right, and this may be why I've lost so little this past year (2011). I had my best month in December after losing control at various parties and dinners, but my average daily count for the month was 1600. I decided to try for 1700 a day, and am having a heck of a time getting them up there. Looks like I'll have to take myself out to dinner, and maybe even desert!

December 2011 starting weight: 203.4
1-1-2012: 198.2; 1713 calories; 1.5 hr workout
1-2-2012: 199.2; 1286 calories; 1+ hr workout
1-3-2012: 199.0; 1339 calories
1-4-2012: 199.2; not done counting them; 1+ hr intense workout

[Steph7409]

Evening, ladies. I'm up a bit today (164) but my scale tells me my body fat % is going down (slowly) so I'm happy about that. What I'm not happy about is the feeling that my disordered thinking about food is coming back and I'm making bad choices. A few times lately, I've found myself eating something just because it's there or because it's going to go bad (I have a semi-hoarder-ish compulsion about not wasting food). I need to nip this in the bud. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Congrats to everyone for doing so well. This seems like a really motivated group!

[Angie]

Rennie -- The poor baby! I'm sure she's going to weather it all well though, she's much younger and has more reserve energy than us. In the end it's going to be a great experience for her. I hope you get her address soon so the letters can start flowing. Thanks Rennie -- I've stayed on plan today, so I hope I get another nice reward tomorrow. Two shortbreads isn't bad at all, Ihope you get a nice whoosh too!

Steph -- When you are thinking of eating something that might go bad or go to waste, my suggestion is to stop and compare the consequences. So, on one had you might have wasted some money if food goes in the trash, and there are other people in dire need of food. On the other hand you'll probably feel really awful about yourself and the decision later; if it's junky, you body didn't need it, and it will probably keep you from your goal just that little bit longer. (Now I have to try to practice this myself )

[Diana3271]

SusieMartin Keep up the great work!

Carter Great job on the 2 pounds!

Runningfromfat Ha Ha! Coffee may not be good for me, but it's good for others that I drink it. KWIM?

Kukkie Congrats on the 1.4 pounds. I have been thinking about and worrying about Fitgirlygirl, too. I hope she is OK.

Jldsgirl Keep up the great work!

Coondocks I'm glad to hear that your little one is feeling better.

Angie Great job on the 2.4 pounds! Keep 'em coming! I hope you are feeling better. Do you have anything like Cold-EEZE there? It's suppose to help with colds.

CaliforniaDreamer Hi Don't lose your focus. Keep working your plan. Things will start moving again when TTOM is over.

Ona I can hear the sadness in your post. Keeping writing your letters. It will help you to get it all out. Time will go by quicker than you think.

RRB2 Keep working your plan. Don't lose focus. It's hard, I know, but you can do it.

Salley You can even arrange your calories where you have a higher calorie day if something comes up. Just eat a little less the other days. Try it for a couple weeks to see what happens.

Steph I understand what you are feeling. Try planning your meals/foods every day and only eat that. Don't buy anything extra that you don't need. Make sure you have your foods that you eat on a regular basis so you aren't stuck without your food, though. Another way to look at the extra food is that you are not a garbage disposal or a trash can. Don't just eat it to get rid of it.

Hey everyone.

So I know this post will probably get looked over this time of night but I had to express how I feel right now. As of today, I've lost 30 pounds. I am at exactly the lowest weight I've ever been as an adult. While I still have more to go this has been, by far, the one of the biggest and most rewarding challenges of my life. Staying committed to something, especially fitness and good health, is a concept I've never tackled before. While it seems so easy now, the road to get to this point was certainly interesting and trying. I know I don't post in these threads often but I am CONSTANTLY reading over it, looking at other people's challenges, set backs, and triumphs. It is one of the first things I open in the morning and it has kept me pushing for a better version of myself. Thank you all. Although you may have never noticed me, I have noticed you. Each individual fighting for health, each unique person offering support and raw emotion. Thank you for motivating me.
