Yay Jasmine!!! Way to go on that pound lost!!! I dont know if last week effects this week but it is definetly something to look at. The way our bodies cycle so much I'm interested to see how that keeps playing out. I suppose what you did last week geared your metabolism to work differently this week. Whatever it was it got that scale moving!!
Yeah either way a loss is a better than a gain even if it is small. I am down a total of 1.50 this week. Most weeks it is 2.50 but I am just going to keep giving it my best!

I did fairly well yesterday. AF is here so I've got those darn chocolate cravings. And darn it if we dont have Halloween candy. I had 2 of the little Reese's pb cups (the tiny ones) and 2 sugarfree dove dark chocolates. So not terrible but thats about 150 calories I didnt need. We did homemade pizzas last night and I think I overdid it but since I was very disciplined with my other meals I'm sure it was fine. Got in all my water and then some! No exercise though, it was a bad day pain wise for me. Although I need to stop using that as an excuse because there is no reason I cant get on my stability ball and use some weights. That is supposed to be on my plan afterall.
I HATe when that happens! I feel like eating everything in sight when A.F. hits! Thank God I haven''t gotten any chocolate or candy cravings yet!!

What I'd like to include in our chats today is weigh-in days. Everyone things "Sunday" because it's the end of the week, so to speak. But I was thinking of making my weigh-in day Friday. Weekends I think are the hardest for slipping up, and I foresee a possible self esteem issue if I weigh-in after having a bad weekend. I'm just starting, so I haven't set my weigh-in day yet.
Any thoughts? What motivates you to choose the weigh-in day that you did?
Martin you are more than welcome to weigh in on fridays if ya like! This thread is for supporting each other and we havejust general guidelines. We all can weigh in when ever we feel comfy! I myself had originally picked sunday cause when I started the halloween challenge at the beg. of the month it was sunday. I have realized how great it is to have myself a set weigh in day too cause then I track everything from week to week from that date. Like my cals, my exercise, my weighins, etc. So whatever day works for you hun!!1

Today, (soontobe)DH and I are driving in to the city to do a little bit of shopping. It's his first day off in.. oh, well over 20 days. We might eat out, but if we do, I'm going to stick to ordering a sandwich w/side salad (1 tbl spoon dressing), and NO MAYO on my sandwich. I always overdo the mayo, and I think I'm going to try cutting that one specific thing cold turkey, until I can learn to control myself around it.
WISH ME LUCK! I will be bringing fruit for the drive, and 2 bottles of delicious, cold water!
That sounds good. Mayo is a big one. I was always more of a mustard person though thank goodness. When you are at home you could always just do light mayo.

Oh wow. I bought a new scale today because my scale is REALLY old.
I got home, and pulled it out of it's fancy new wrapping, set it down, and got ready to test it out.
Was I ever shocked! Apparently not only is my old scale old, but broken/off. I don't weigh 262. I weigh.. 279!
I was so good eating out to lunch today, and this feels like such a punch in the gut. Any ideas on how to overcome such a mental setback?
I feel crushed...
Oh my gosh! Hun that is terrible! I would be so upset!!!!
The first thing I would do is make an apt with a doc and get weighed there. So many times even brand new scales are wrong! My situation is reverse, my gyno's scale is 18 pounds less than mine at home but I even had my aunts check mine against their weight and what they weigh at home. Mine is right, his isn't. But that is very rare. Check the scale out somewhere else hun!!

Sounds like you had your hands full hun!!

Jasime~ I do Denise Austin' 20 min Pilates. It has two parts, Part.1 is Pilates & Part.2 is Pilates mixed with yoga. The first time I tired it, It was a bit difficult, but what workout isn't the first time. The second time I did it it got easier, and thrid, and so on. Just give it a go. It really does work.After one week I felt greet physically, and two weeks I could tell my body was getting some nice curbs.
Thanx for the info! It sounds good. I think I seen a pilates for dummies so I will try that first. Does it help work on toning your belly? That is what I really need!

Sounds like you did good yesterday!

BTW Jasmine: The pb I get is no brand at all, I use the grocery store's grinder. Pure unsalted, organic peanuts, nothing else.
Cool. I don't think my store even has one!

I did really good yesterday on the 6 week body makeover diet. It was really hard but I was a good girl and stuck to it for most of the day. The rewards were a 3 pound loss! AF even came a knockin' yesterday so I'm hoping by the end of next week an additional amount will be gone.[/QUOTE]
That is great sweetie!!! WTG!! Try to make them good carbs though like wheat bread, grains and brown rice, etc.

Jasmine- Girl! You are so encouraging and have some really great ideas. I'm glad that I'm getting to know you even though it's through the net.
I was thinking that we can boost our metabolisms somehow and like you were questioning, maybe it keeps it kicking through the next week? Dunno. All this is new to me and I'm totally open for tips and suggestions. Go to the website of the six week body makeover (not sure of their website but just check on googles) and you'll find it. My hubby and I ordered it last month but just now started it. It looks pretty intense but I thought if I could just prove to myself that I can lose weight and see some quick results then I will have more confidence to continue. I feel and am so big right now it's pretty discouraging.
Congrats on making it to the teens!!! I'm going to check out those places you suggested and try to figure out the calorie/ exercise, etc to figure out how to lose and how much I will, etc. How horrifying that would be to lose a bunch of weight and still be stuck at fat! 190 is still way overweight for my height. Thanks for the tips...
Awww thanx for saying that! I am glad to get to know all of you too! DOn't knock the net it is actually a great way to meet people! I met my hubby online!
I do feel like I have finally figured out what I am doing! And I would love to help others find their way. If I could of found the cal counting stuff a year ago I might of lost 100 by now but oh well, you live and ya learn. I think as far as boosting our metabs, i think having small meals and snacks helps. It doesnt have to be big. Like obviously my smoothie is for breakfast. Sometimes I will break it up and have a banana around 8:00, then the smoothie around 10:00. coffee and a sandwich at 12:00 and at 3:00 a slimfast. (sometimes if I am hungry I will have that with the snadwich or at 2:00 and then will have a yogurt around 3:00 or serving of cereal) If my hubby has to work the 10-7 shift, then a snack around 5:00, yogurt, if I didnt have one, or cereal, then dinner at 7:45. I hate those days! Otherwise dinner is usually at 6:00. But the point is I think that the small meals and snacks keeps the metab going and makes me feel like I am never hungry!

Not. So. Good. Today. I was terribly worried about something and had myself a nice little binge & purge.*sigh* I'm not going to report any totals tonight because I don't even really remember everything I ate, nor do I know how much I "kept". Sorry if that's too graphic for anyone, but I'm kind of upset.I think maybe I need to refrain from "challenges" for a while; I thought I was ready to get back to regular dieting, but I think that pressuring myself with a deadline of any sort just brings back the bad behaviors.
Oh sweetie, I am sorry to hear about that. I had a friend online who was bulimic and she wound up losing all her teeth because of it.
That is not too graphic! I am here for ya hun!!
Well I dont want you to feel pressured if that is a problem for you hun! I dont want you to drop out either! I have an idea, why dont you just come to this thread for support? You can make your challenge for turkey day about being binge~purge free and eating healthy? That takes the focus off losing weight andn pouts it on being healthy?

That was a great post!
to you too! I am so sorry to hear about the cancer. You do not need to face this lying down! Look at the 3rd link I posted. The worlds healthiest foods. There are some foods that can help to destroy certain types of cancer. I dont know if it will help in your case but it doesnt hurt to try! If you need any help let me know and tomorrow I will probably go looking when the family is back at school and work!
Oh and do some homework.Well I 'll be back later to write my lunch,dinner,and snacks. Ya'll have a GREAt day and drink that WATER!!!
So that officially brings me to 9.75 pounds this month! Hooray! ( I entered my weigh in on the first as 229, but it was actually 228.50 , I didn't want to fool around with half pounds then but you know what? I will take every .25 pound I can get!!
