Virginia I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I understand your need to get rid of the scale. Before I get ahead of myself does this mean that you are leaving 3FC? If so, I hope you'll come say hello from time to time and let me know how you are doing

I think today I had one of my worse eating days in a long while, worse than Thanksgiving. I have been wanting birthday cake and ice cream, so tonight after church I went to Food Lion and I got it. The whole family sat down like it was someone's birthday and we had cake and ice cream. Earlier I had a bunch of mini vanilla wafers and then after the cake I ate some hot cheeto fries (only what one of the boys left in the bag) he should have ate that little bit .
I'm not expecting a loss at all … possibly a two pound up. But I will go to the gym with one of my sons who's out of school for winter break so I will work it off … prayerfully

Up .6 to 177.6. Today was another interesting day food wise but today I did get to walk 4.16 miles so I feel like I accomplished a little something. The scale will tell

[love2b150]

Down .4 so the treadmill helped a little 177.2 this morning

[PUPMOM5]

The stress of the semester is finally gone away, my house (destroyed from neglect) is largely clean. Now I get to focus on myself, and that's pretty nice. So far, I've been doing at least 10k steps or 30 Day Shred/60 minutes at the gym. Finally, my weight is moving down! 178.2 this morning!

[lotsakids]

Starting Weight - 211.4
1:210.6 Sunday, no workout for me today.
2:210.4 Did a 5 mile WATP and then walked another mile outside.
3: 209.4 5 miles WATP and another walk outside with walking poles. getting the hang of them!!
4: 210.4 again... up down up down.... 3 miles on the treadmill and 2 miles outside with the poles. I worked today~
5:208.6 Our snow melted (it's coming back not going to get excited) so I walked outside, 5 miles very very hilly!
6: 208.4 It is snowing again, but it's light dare I go walking outside? We'll see nope... walked with Leslie Sansone
7 207.6 No walk today, bible quiz meet with my kids. If stress = exercise, yeah I don't think so
8 207.8 Walked on my funky treadmill. I have to bump up the incline to at least 1.5 and higher when I go faster or it completely shuts down requiring me to start over, so I did 4 miles... up hill, thankfully not through the snow.
9. 207.4 Walked 2 miles on the treadmill and then did a 4 mile walk with Leslie Sansone. Snow is coming down outside and I'm cold!!
10. 206 this morning, not really trusting it though. 5 mile walk with Leslie, I'm freezing. Making acorn squash soup for me and potato cheese for the rest of the family.
11 - still 206 today. maybe the scale is broken Did 6 miles of Leslie Sanson (4 mile walk with miles 2 and 3 repeated.)
16- 205 today, changed the batteries and it stayed the same. Haven't been online much this weekend and I am planning to do 5 miles with Leslie Sansone.
17 - 206 today Walked on my dread mill for 5 miles. the faster I walk the higher the incline has to be so I was walking up hill the whole way!!
18 and 19th computer down!! was 207 on the 18th and 208 on the 19th!
20 - back to 206 today - went through a couple of food obsessed days. Getting it back under control I hope.
21 - 206 again, Did 5 miles on the treadmill. Went downstairs to do 2, talked myself into 3 and then 5. Happy Saturday. I don't know why the scale is stuck, but I know I'm wearing a shirt I couldn't wear a week ago!!

PUPMOM5 glad the stress is over and things are coming back to normal nicely

Donna, good job on the walking. That's the way I like it also. I start with 3.5 mph and increase it from time to time but never for long (trying to job/run but haven't accomplished it yet) and I start the incline at 4.0 and click on interval and let it move up and down on it's own. I read some where that it's not the speed we go it's the length of time we spend walking that counts. I told the kids I'm going to see if I can do 1.5 hours without falling out because I'll tell you when that machine says cooldown I sure get happy

I am up 1.6lbs today to 178.8. We got home late (after 10) and my son made ⅓ lb burgers and it took forever for them to cook (it seemed) I had planned to just eat just the burger but that didn't happen. My other son made fries so guess what I ate? He over salted them and I know this up is mostly sodium so it should be gone in a couple of days

I don't plan on leaving no...I just have a lot of things going on in my life and along with this new way of thinking I am just readjusting and trying to get my head together.

[PUPMOM5]

Spoke to soon - massive car trouble for the win. And cookies. Still set on getting as much weight off as I can before the new year. Logged it and moving on. I'm going to do the 30 Day Shred and then beg a ride to the gym from DH.

[love2b150]

Virginia I am right there with you with a TON going on in MY life … I just keep praying for better and I try not to complain because I know things could be worse.

PUPMOM5 sorry about the car trouble. Hope you made it to the gym.

I am not doing well at all, lots going on, too many things to focus on and my weight was up to 180.0 this morning.

Feel for you. The alternator went out last night on one of our cars. Barely made it home on the battery.

It is Christmas Eve! I have allotted myself 2000 calories for the day instead of my usual 1200-1500. I bought some donuts for breakfast and having fun trying to figure out what the world is the number of calories in one. They are from a grocery store bakery with no nutritional info posted. I have a Boston Cream donut. The calorie range appears to be 250-310 looking at places like KK, TH, and DD. I'll just go with the high number.

Lunch will be my regular tuna and crispbread for 240.

Dinner is Cornish hen, 1/2c red cabbage, 1/2c egg noodles, and 1/2 steamed broccoli. I'm going to guess around 600 calories. Then two beers and some Irish cream for another 500 calories. I'm up to 1650, so have 350 of wiggle room for maybe an additional cider (190) or donut (200-300).

Tomorrow is the same plan for 2000 calories. Will have half a La Brea baguette roll with smoked salmon and a crispbread with a tbls of Nutella for breakfast. About 500 calories. Not sure about lunch, probably just a snack of a granola bar, 130. Dinner is eggplant parm. One serving is 300 cal + breadstick 160. Another 500 cals of alcohol and about a 1/4 a cup of HD white chocolate raspberry ice cream. Up to around 1600, so could add a serving of mini eclairs for 270 or an apple cider for 190.

Then it is back to the old 1200-1500 cal grind on Thursday. I'm hoping to end the year at 186.

CrabNebula, DH decided we would handle it after the holidays. I guess some fuse is perhaps messed up and so we need to take it to a Honda dealership to plug it into their computer. I'm trying not to think too much about it.

How did everyone do for Xmas? We had a great one with DH's family. Lots of delicious food, and I stayed within a reasonable calorie limit (1450 Xmas Eve, with 350 burned at the gym; 1300 today, no gym). I'm hoping to at least maintain tomorrow and work on losing. I'm going to take ALL of the left over cookies, chocolates and sweets over to my mom's tomorrow and leave them.

[love2b150]

Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday to you ALL

CrabNebula sorry about your car You are doing well, great job planning. It's hard to keep focus this time of year and seem to be doing fine, way to go

Donna, great weigh in Time with the family well spent, way to go

PUPMOM5 great job today I think you'll be fine


I have enjoyed my holiday and I'm sure my weight will show it. We spent the night with my daughter and her husband so no weigh in this morning. But I'm sure it wouldn't have been great anyway … So I'm gonna use tomorrow as my start over till the end of the year. I must get back into the 170's before the 1st

[love2b150]
