I'm surprised that there's no weekly chat yet.
So here it is.

I just got my WATP DVD and am about to start it. We will see how it goes. Hopefully it will be a great workout like 30DS!

I'm only 0.2 lb down but I'm not really surprised. I was sooo bad over the weekend with eating out and pizza and so on. I think at least working out a lot at the end of the week helped me not to gain.

I will be back later to post some more..

Hey Ladies! How are y'all this week.

I'm doing good. I'm learning about my body which is great. I've noticed when I eat bread or sugar I get a headache. I wonder if my body is trying to me I have a food allergy?

Does anyone know the best way to determine this? And what exactly would I be allergic to? I can't believe I'm 27 and now just listening to my body.

[artsnsmarts]

Here we go: Really the best way to determine a food allergy is to see an allergist. Usually allergies present themselves in different ways than that, but who knows, you could have a weird allergy or some other type of disorder. I would suggest seeing your doctor to see if you can get referred to an allergist if it's really bothering you.

[Taylor86]

Here we go I agree with arts about seeing a doctor, but bread and sugar does raise and drop your blood sugar very quickly which may lead to headaches. I have had some girlfriends try sugar busters and south beach and say that that has helped!

Hey everyone. I was gunna start a weekly thread earlier today but I'm still a newbie so I was apprehensive about doing it. So this weekend I did not do very well while I was away with my mom's whole family. The first night wasnt to bad I just had some meatballs but then I had 2 mini canolis and then the next day I had a bunch of chips and steak and potato salad for dinner and a piece of cheesecake. The good thing is that its a big drinking weekend but I only had 1 and 1/2 drinks all weekend.

I found out I have to lose 50 pounds just to be considered not obese which was a definite bummer and to be considered "normal" I have to lose 75 and be at a weight that I havent been at since I was about 11. But I guess I just have to keep trying.

I got my wisdom teeth out this morning so Ive been in some pain and I cant work out for a few days which to be honest I'm not totally bummed about except that I was supposed to start a yoga class tomorrow and now I hafta wait until next week. Ive also only been able to eat KFC mashed potatoes and Macaroni and cheese but I can only eat a few bites before it hurts to much so I figure its not that bad.

I hope everyones week is going good so far and I'll be checking in later in the week. O and I have to say that when I talk to my family about weight loss I always seem to be saying well my friends in this forum I go to online....Just thought that was funny lol

[Iconised Ghost]

lol "my friends on this forum online" that sounds familiar

Having wisdoms out sounds nasty i hate it when things get in the way of my plans, and i hate dental work, so i really feel for you there >.< get better soon!

[Taylor86]

Today has gone pretty well for me.

I got a good 45 minutes in on the elliptical at level 7 (I started at level 1 3 weeks ago) and it was a really good push!

I also am left with 100 calories to play with today. I might have an 80 calorie healthy choice chocolate bar or I may give my calories to the might calorie God in the sky because of the naughty things I might get into during my trip.

I also talk about this forum a bunch to my family and friends. I have told so many people about it! I know it is the biggest reason I have stuck with this journey longer than any other. I also know that writing down every I eat has helped a ton!

emc If cold doesn't bother your mouth I loved fudgesicles and sugar-free pops when I had my tonsils taken out, maybe that can work for you!

It's ok. I'm sorry that you are having a bad day. It will be ok. Tonight you should cuddle up with a good book and munch on some popcorn or carrots.

[just keep swimming]

Taylor - Level 7, wow! I've never gone above level 5, and that was HARD! And only for half an hour! Rock on!

Here's to a good week for all my fabulous 20-somethings!

[aerogora]

Today was good and bad for me. I got my butt chewed at work for things my staff did, which is part of my job, but it still sucks! But on a good note, my mom and I had a little tiff the other day and we have patched things up!! So that is good. I am really really craving anything and everything chocolaty so I think TOM is around the corner But I have stayed within my calorie limit today.. but it's only 6:30 and I don't go to bed until 10 or so... hopefully I won't give in! I am going out of town this weekend.. that always scares me to be out of my normal routine!

[Mango683]

My favorite part of Monday- adjusting my tickers!!

3 pounds down from last week!

woohoo!

Hope everyone else has a great week ahead:-)

[RememberHowToSmile]

So I feel like it has been forever since I’ve been here. I was gone after Monday last week in Norfolk. It went well we were really busy for one of the two days we were there. I was interviewed for the news twice which is always fun, that means I now hold the record for tv interviews in my clinic with 4. Eating wise I did pretty well that plus being at my sisters for 3 days and no exercise for the week and I only went back up to 170 (normally after a trip I gain 4-5 pounds).

On a bad side note I’m totally PMS and want to eat everything today.

Otherwise I’m just trying to finish up my work with my internship and find a new internship for the fall.

Herewego – It might not be an allergy it might just be that your body isn’t use to eating that type of stuff so can’t handle it now. I know I get that way when I seriously cut sugar out. As for how to find out about allergies the easiest way is to find an allergist and have them doing testing, they can do a food panel and find what food you allergic to.

IconicGhost - I know how hard it is to stay on track with school going on but use your schedule as a way to practice time management and perfect planning your meals.

Emcmac – Don’t hesitate if one isn’t started jump right in. Good job only having 1.5 drinks. I hated getting my wisdom teeth take out (I was in high school and my mom keep giving me so many pain pills that I was just passed out the whole time) rest up and you’ll feel better.

Taylor – it sounds like you are doing really well with the gym keep up the good work.

Kam – how did the meeting go? Think there are a lot worse things then a dipped ice cream cone like a blizzard or a Sunday.

Aero – Sorry that you got chewed out for something you didn’t do that is the worst.

Mango – Good job dropping 3 pounds

Hey guys! I'm still new on here!

I think my ticker would be up (if I was allowed to have one yet) but mostly I think it's exercise related- I worked out 5X last week (usually its barely 3x) but I'm really excited! I have a bunch of goals I'm working on... now if I could just get a job!!!! AHH!!!!!
