300+ And Ready To Try Again...#563
 

:wave:

Its weigh-in day!!

I'm taking a 1.1 pound loss. I'm not sure exactly my starting point either because the scale has bounced all over the place the last two weeks. The lowest I had seen was 253.5 and now its 252.4. I'll be glad when the humidity goes away.

Good luck to everyone as you WI! And no feeling like you failed if you didn't achieve as much or anything. Just figure out why and move on to the next one.

I'm up for a short challenge since this will be a holiday weekend and will be a challenge in itself.

I'd like to go for another 1.4 loss by this time next week. That's only a one week challenge. But maybe it will help us stay motivated to not have a blow-out food weekend.

Anyone game?

I am feeling more and more focused this week. And its only Tuesday! Last night I walked the dog. I ate according to my food plan and nothing more than was on my list to eat. This morning I did general conditioning exercise and will make my food plan here shortly.

Time is slipping away and I have a busy work day ahead. Best get moving.

Have a great day!

The 2 lb. Challenge is over and I lost more than 2 lbs.!

But even better the 2 lb. Challenge got me on the scale for the first time in about a year and back on track as far as watching what goes into my mouth.

I'm game for another one. :lol:

j-ann, I am with you - for some reason this seemed to help me.

Anyway I am down 3 lbs. I am getting motivated now. I have walked 40 miles so far this month - you would think I would be down more than 3!!!! :o

Just goes to show you it takes a lot of exercise to get rid of a small amount of fat!!!! :mad:

i am down 1 lb. it was a good challenge and i seem to be focusing more. gotta run the dentist is waiting, pat

Challenge met...bring on another!!!
 

I lost 3 lbs!! Woo Hoo!!

Labor Day Challenge for 1 lb, anyone??????

Down 2 pounds!
 

I am down 2 pounds, despite screwing around after weighing in at WW on Tuesday @ 300. I am now down to 298. Whoo Hoo!!!!! I am feeling pretty much in control since straightening myself up on Saturday morning after my meeting. I had one slip-up on Sunday, but I think that I recovered from that.

I weigh in on Saturday for my normal WW meeting, and I am hoping to see another 2 pounds gone. I am back exercising and cooking (boy I hate to do this! :yikes: ) and writing down my food.

I think my next challenge is to get down to 295 by September 18. That is only 3 pounds, but I don't want to be depressed if I don't make it. I really like the 1 pound a week goal.

I'm in! :hat:

Nice loss Kat ... Keep it up! :cheer:

Hey everyone :)

I was down a 1/2 lb! Ok, I know it wasn't 2 lbs., but since I was up as much as 4 to begin with, being down at all is a very good thing. :D I am feeling super motivated again. This challenge is just what I needed! You know when you get the feeling that the Whoosh Faerie is about to visit again, and you are just soooo ready for her? :)

Ok, I have lots of homework to get working on, and these munchkins are going to think dinner is still a good idea tonight. Silly them...

Kat, had to reply to your not doing a WI until you have slept. I do the same thing! Must definitely be a night girl sort of thing. :)

Take care all! Grats on the great weight losses!

Andria

No weigh in for me :( I still need a scale! My money should come in tomorrow :)

I did good and then bad today! I always do this.. today was my first day back at work... so lots and lots of walking and movement - 10 hour day. Lots of water, and healthy food. Then I had taco bell for dinner! :( I must stop this eek. I did walk down 4 flights of stairs today! Its so easy for me to walk down stairs I dont know why i don't do it more often.

Exercise Videos! Okay, sadly I lost my bid for 10 wonderful work out videos on ebay :( I'm very upset about it because I really want to get started with working out to a video.. and this was a great set. My question is - do you guys have any recommendations for good work out videos? I only know Richard Simmons and Belly Dancing (With the twins?) so I don't know what others I can do and are actually affective

anyone have an opinion on "Walk Away the Pounds" ? I like something that keeps me moving.. I gotta have fun :D So let me know asap please!

Hope everyone does well this week! My tip? Wear comfortable clothes! Wearing nice perfectly fitting light weight pants and a tshirt makes me sooo in the mood to be energetic and dance around :)

:bravo: ladies! So far we have lost a collective total of 14.35 pounds! Way to go team! :cheer:

We just got back from having a wonderful evening on the boat. I worked late and met DH at the dock at 6:30. He brought Mr Goodcents and we just relaxed for a change. No exercise this evening but I did do a good conditioning workout this morning. Too bad I couldn't have been this motivated during the last two weeks. :lol:

CD - I like the WATP tapes and other Leslie Sansone exercise tapes because her moves are simple but effective. Lots of gals here used to do the WATP. I also liked the Weight Watchers DVD that came out last January. They have it on ebay (Weight Watchers Quick Trak Diary and Exercise DVD is currently at .99). Try your local library to see what they have so you can try out different ones to see what you like. Good luck!

Its about time for bed. Good night! :wave:

Well ... I am here to check in.
I have good news... and BAD. :(
I did lose my 2 lbs.... 3 times. I would lose it and then gain it back. :rolleyes:
I got very frustrated when I did so well following program the first week and did not keep it off. Then the second week.. I had great expectations... but fell short. So... the bottom line. I maintained.
Maintaining is great if you want to weigh the same. But I don't.
To make a long story short. The first week I followed program ... the second week.... I s-t-re-t-c-h-e--d my honesty on my eating.

So ... here I am. Embarrassed and ashamed that I can't even lose two %@# pounds.
But... I will try one more time. ONE POUND in one week.
I think Lucky said it right...Just goes to show you it takes a lot of exercise to get rid of a small amount of fat!!!!

OH.... I almost forgot....
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who was successful !!! :bravo:
You guys just showed... IT CAN BE DONE !!!! AND YOU DID IT !!! :cp:

I'm In
 

Count me in Terri!

Susie

Too Good to be True
 

Ok ladies,

Well I knew it was too good to be true. :( I got the digital scale last night. A nice $40 scale they had on sale at kmart for $18. I weighed myself, mind you this was only an hour after dinner, but I wanted to check out the scale anyway. I weigh 311.5 lbs. :mad: So I do know that the cheap scale that I had was a big liar. It just changed so much it wasn't reliable. So the good news is I now have a reliable scale, the bad news is I weigh more than I expected. But I also have the motivation to get my booty in gear.

Put me in for the 1 lb challenge. I will do it.

Cd, I hope I didn't win your auction, I won Richard Simmons stuff, it ended about 8:45 central time on Monday morning. But this had more than videos it had the whole food mover thing and recipes.

I am being good with the soda, only drinking it at work. I hope to next week not drink it at all.

Well off to work,
not a happy Skit

Current 311.5

Good morning!

Since I mentioned to CD how much I liked the free WW exercise DVD, why didn't I just get the darn thing out and use it this morning? Especially since I despise the evil stationary bike that early in the morning. So it took me 10 minutes to find the DVD. :mad: I only got through 15 mins before I ran out of time.

DH was talking in his sleep for several hours last night. He's never done that before. How bizarre. I'd be just about asleep and he'd say, "yep that's right. you know it and I know it." I moved to the futon across the hall and I could still hear him. I finally woke him up and said, who the **** are you talking too? But when he went back to sleep, he started all over again. I ended up back on the futon with the door shut. Not sleeping well cut into my morning exercise time. Geez.

2Cute - Have you been reading Dr P? Words you need to eliminate from your vocabulary are "embarassed" and "ashamed". That's just not good for you to feel about yourself. Learn from the experience and move on in a positive way. Make today a great day!

CD - Now I remember why I liked the WW exercise DVD so much. It combines cardio, stretching and strength building into three levels of routines.

Have a great day ladies!

Terri...You are such a great MOTIVATOR. I say, " Dr Phil, move over...Terri's takin' over!!!! :cheer:

BTW...my dh does that too...when he's not snoring his brains out! He'll be having a conversation, clear as can be; talking, chuckling, etc. I've woken up thinking he's on the phone, chatting away. Weird.

2cute...New day, new challenge. No looking back.

Skittles, Okay, it's a number to work with, so now you know... As good a place to start as any!

Cd...I've never used any, but a lot of the girls here like the WATP videos. But, anything that gets you moving and keeps your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes is effective! Moves can always be modified until you are limber enough to do them! Pick a video, any video...whatever appeals to you!

Andria...I LOVE the Whoosh Faerie! I just wish she'd stick around every day!

Judy...Congratulations back atcha for your loss too!

Lucky...I'm so impressed with all your walking AND with your loss!
Just one question...you don't walk like this---> :kickcan: do you?

Congrats, Susie on your loss! You too, Pat!

As a matter of fact...CONGRATULATIONS to ALL! I think what we've gotten out of this, no matter what was lost, is a renewed sense of FOCUS and DETERMINATION!!! Breaking this large undertaking down into more manageable pieces really makes a difference.

So, come on...ONE LB BY LABOR DAY IS DEFINITELY DO-ABLE!!

Here I am, reporting in a day late. Yesterday was such a hectic day! I didn't make my 2 pound goal, but I did lose 1 pound! Better than nothing!

Count me in for 1 more pound by next Tuesday. Will be a great motivater to get through this long weekend!

Gotta get back to work, but had to stop in quickly!
;)

Thank you girls :) Skittles I dont think it was you :P what I was bidding on had 3 Simmons, 3 Tae bo, some kickboxing.. it was about 10 videos in all.

I did win a nice set of WATP vids though :D :) I'm considering still getting Richard Simmons box set of blast offs... but we'll see :)

I'll go for the 1lb challenge if I buy a scale today :P

I wish my boyfriend would talk in his sleep, I'd find it so adorable. He barely even snores (But I guess thats cause we're both only 19) but I love it when he does.

Well I hope to get some exercising in this week.. been so sleepy and worn out.

Good luck everyone!

Yep, Kat, that is how I walk!!! ;)

Well, I am going to the cities in an hour so I won't have a computer until tomorrow night - well, depending on when we get back.

Its a seminar for work - but we are going to try and get some shopping in. :crossed:

Just me - :kickcan: ing across the Midwest Prairie!!!

Congrats to all who lost on the challenge.

Count me in for the 1-pound challenge---weighing in today at 305, salivating over 299...

Andria: Hope classes continue well--I know what you mean about the desks; now that I'm a prof I refuse to sit in a student desk ever.

Hi All! :wave: I'm sorry to say that I did not do well on the challenge. I was up and down for the past two weeks and apparently ended in the up position, but since I didn't write down where I started (or wrote it down and forgot where I put it :( ) it's hard to say just what was what.

I did jump on the scale yesterday morning and would love to join the challenge for Labor Day. I'm leaving first thing on Tuesday morning so I will get on the scale before I go, but I'm not sure I'll be able to report until I get back (unless of course I can steal some time on a computer while I'm gone.)

:cp: CONGRATS to all of you have lost! :cp:
:cp: Nice accomplishment. :cp:

Hey everyone :)

The chick who was up so high yesterday came crashing down this morning with a reality slap to the face. I stepped off my porch and there was a loud pop from my knee. I went down and haven't been up again. :( This is so painful. The x-rays said I don't have any broken bones, but things were too painful to tell much else. I have a doc appointment tomorrow. It is the guy who helped me with my knee when I tore the ACL almost 3 years ago.

I'm totally freaked about school. My two main classes are in a building at the top of an incline. I'm not that good with crutches! I'm hoping the doc can tell me before Friday if this is going to keep me down for a while. That way I can drop my classes for a full tuition refund and return all my books. By the way, I do NOT want that to have to be my solution unless necessary.

If any of you are praying types, I could sure use some heading my way.

Andria

OMG Andria! :sorry: You be careful til you see the Doc. :eek: My knees are my one really big fear. They're always giving me trouble and I'm always babying them.

Listen to the Doc, Drop those classes if you have to and take the time to mend fully. Yep, I'll pray for you. :grouphug:

You got my prayers, Andria! Take care, hon. I hope everything works out for you. {{{hug}}}

Hey Andria--If you can walk with crutches but just need to stay off the incline, make sure they can't switch classrooms to accommodate you before you drop your courses, okay? Hang in there!

Hello all
 

Hi,

First of all, thank you to thinthinker and 2cute2bfat...I appreciate your personal messages to me. I consider myself to be computer literate, but alas, I admit my knowledge of how to navigate threads has been limited to the ones on my shirt! :lol:

At any rate, I was just wondering...is this where I can write and check in daily to get to know you all etc? I would love to hear/read everyone's life stories...married, kids, jobs etc. Oh yeah, I guess maybe your weight loss battles would be okay as well... ;)

Anyway, I embarked on the South Beach Diet last week with GREAT results...I lost 6 lbs. the first week (and yep, I try to drink 90 oz. of h20/day so it wasn't water loss!!) So, I went from 324 to 318. I found the diet very easy to live with overall, once I got past the first few days of pasta/bread/sweets cravings. I need to get back on track though, the past few days have been a free for all, returning to school, inservice days with lunch provided, snacks etc. But I am ready to roll on Friday after grocery shopping tomorrow.

Sorry this is so long. Before I go, I just wanted to see if anyone else struggles with the same trouble I do. My problem is, though intellectually I know I NEED to change my eating habits permanently and lose weight, I am an emotional eater and have become incredibly good at fooling myself into the "one bite won't hurt, I deserve it" mentality. I know I want to lose the weight, but sometimes I think I get in denial of just how overweight I am. I joined ww once, and when I confessed this problem to someone, they said that "You just aren't ready to commit and aren't motivated. Come back when you are." Well, thanks alot. I never went back.

Any insight, thoughts, opinions are most gratefully welcome.

Thanks for being here and being so supportive. I loved reading the posts I have looked at so far.

Andria: OMG, honey. That is horrible about your knee. Scares me half to death since mine has been acting up for the past 10 days or so. Be sure to do exactly what the Dr. says. The "baby" tore his PCL his senior year in high school and he didn't do the recommended exercises after he was done with physical therapy and he still can't kneel on that knee and probably never will be able to. * On the issue of school: I'm not sure just what "Section 504" covers but I think it's ALL public buildings, schools especially, that have to accommodate disabilities whether permanent or temporary. Section 504 is Federal Legislation and schools do not want to go through an audit having to do with 504 so usually just mentioning it will get you what you want. I learned about it when I served on the school board. That's what got the high school to provide me with a wheel chair at the door of the school everyday when the "baby" had his surgery. They told him to use crutches and I said "yeah right AND carry his books for class all day. Don't think so. Get me a wheelchair." Of course you'll still have to worry about getting someone to drive you to classes if that's the case I'm sure. Good luck. I'm praying for you.

Christine: Welcome! Yes, this is the place! As far as who we are and that kind of stuff, you'll find most of us have filled out a profile on the "Bio Thread" and you're welcome to do so as well. This thread is full of our every day ups and downs. It's the place to come and read and be read as well as write. Most of us check in every day or two. * Congrats on starting South Beach. It sounds like you've been real successful so far. I'm glad you found it fairly easy to follow. I too KNOW what I need to do, it's just a matter of getting the job DONE. As far as the emotional eating, I suffer as well. My problem is sometimes I could slap myself because I don't even realize what's bothering me. :o

Alice: It's nice to see you posting over here. Welcome back around to our daily threads.

Ok, all of you who are praying anyway. Please say a little one for Honey. He has a job interview at 9:00 this morning (Thursday). He is so excited. He wants this so bad. It is right up his background alley AND it's within 10 miles of our house rather than 40 miles. I think he will be crushed if he doesn't get it AND he deserves the break, he's such a great guy. So if you have a little prayer to spare, please send some up for my Honey. Thanks.

Gotta run. Almost 1:00 AM here. :yawn: Love :love: ya bunches!

P.S. I sent the first little "teaser" mail for Spring Fling Volume 2 today. If I don't have your address and you're interested in being included when I mail something, please PM me your contact info.

P.P.S. or is it P.S.S.? Anyway, have any of you heard from Jen? We haven't heard from her in soooo long. I wonder if she's back in Germany, if her hubby ever got home. I sent her mail too so we'll see if she checks in. Just thought I'd ask if any of you had heard from her.

Ok, nitey nite!

Christine... I am so glad you found us. Yep, you are in the right place.

I can't visit now... but just had to welcome Christine.

Thin... I am always willing to pray for everyone... but
not sure I have much pull. :lol:

Okay... I had a great on program day yesterday... I am going for two. :strong:

Morning Ladies,

Just a quickie this morning. I went to a birthday party last night. I had cake. But I didn't have any of the pizza. So not too bad of an evening. Not much going on other than tired and I'm ready for the weekend.

Christine, welcome to the group. I too know exactly what you are talking about as far as the food. Sometimes I find myself with food in my hand not even sure why I got it. Other times I would just eat and eat and eat. But it's getting better. Congratulations on starting the South Beach and losing the weight. It's a lot of hard work to change habits and I'm just starting myself. So we're here for ya. These girls are great.

Andria, Oh my goodness, you take it easy. I am sending prayers and healing energy your way. I know about the knee problems and I feel your pain. I hope that you will be able to still go to school, but if you can't, don't be too upset. I believe that these things happen because we need to slow down. So you may need to take a break and take some me time. Sometimes we don't have time to do that. So if you can't go back, think of it as a well deserved vacation. Take care.

Thin, I have plenty of prayers to go around. Just like my physical body, I have an over abundance, plenty to share. :) So prayers are coming you and your hubbys way.
I will pm you my info, so let me know if you get it, not sure how to do it yet. :)

Well ladies, it is work time again. :( oh, it is almost over and tomorrow is payday, :)

Skit

Hi All,
Im sitting here waiting for Frances to come up the coast and get us~ canceled the beach trip...maybe later.
Andria...don't stress the knees, stay off your feet, crutches, chair, whatever! I am looking at knee replacement, going next week to make arrangements. I have torn ligaments in both, and hobbled along with fluid built up on them for 6 months now (car accident), and it's not the right thing to do! You are in my prayers.
Welcome Christine! I'm one too...just this morning DH caused me to feel angry at him, but I was on the phone with work and could not address it, so after I got off the phone he was gone and I headed for the fridge. I's so easy to stuff you anger away, soothe it with food...I was looking. But I pulled out the chicken and slapped it in the oven bag, with broth and mushrooms, spices, and put it in the oven. It was kind of staisfying. But i still wanted something, so I opened a can of good" tuna and ate that, 150 calories, no fat or carbs. I'm still going to yell when he gets back!
Thin...I hope your DH gets the job!
Terri...If you are still accepting people for the Labor Day challenge count me in.
I need to get back to work, will check in again...I hope any of you that are like me in the path of Frances come out of it in one piece.
Debra

Hi all--

Well, it's Thankful Thursday, so what am I thankful for? I'm thankful for this wonderful man I'm in love with even though we're "just friends." Had such a nice time with him last evening, but... and here I have to depart from thankfulness and go to self-recrimination... I drank too much, both imbibing way too many calories and too much alcohol. And having to be driven home. And now I'm hung over. Sigh. Have resolved to get occasional alcohol binges under control even if I can get nothing else that way.

Thin: Best of luck to hubby. I know the deserving don't *always* win, but they have to sometimes.

Christine: Hi, and welcome. I'm a relative newbie myself. In my own experience, two things have helped me with emotional eating. One is to tell myself that I can choose to do either thing--eat to make me feel better or not--and that the latter is actually the nicer thing that I "deserve" since I deserve to be healthy and happy. The other is to find some other nice thing to do for myself. In the bigger picture, though, I think if you're eating because it helps you cope, you need to address the core issues that require coping with. For me it was getting out of a very bad, dependent relationship. Instead of eating all my anger at my ex, I had to express that anger and change my life.The year I did that I lost 75 pounds, but then I allowed new stresses to take the place of that relationship. So now I'm working on ALL the stresses that I can either eat or deal with, and trying to deal with them so I won't be tempted to try to eat them away. (It doesn't work, anyhow.)

Debra: Hope you come through Frances unscathed.

Howdy!
 

What a glorious day here! 80 degrees, low humidity, sunny, blue skies...HEY! What the heck am I doing inside on such a day? Well, checking in here...see how my chicks are doing and then I'm outta here! It's a great day for a bike ride, come on, Terri! Let's hit the bike path! I have about 3 hours to do with as I please...dh just brought son to practice and is off to work from there. Son will be fed by team moms after practice, so I don't need to get him til 8....freedom!

WELCOME, Christine! Make yourself at home! Good luck in your efforts with South Beach. I have done the first two weeks also, but when it came time to integrate the carbs back in, I blew it too. I'm sure I was thinking, "Well, I've been good for two weeks, I DESERVE this!" Oh really? And I deserved the weight I gained back for that kind of thinking! I've come to realize that this weight losing business is very simple really: Eat less, Move more. That's all there is to it! Okay, maybe I should modify that to "Eat a moderate amount of high quality protein, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains while avoiding the "whites:" flour, sugar, rice, potatos (*sob*) AND move more!" That one's a little wordy, though. At any rate, welcome to our little cyber family, just jump right in and join the fun!

Debra, Good luck with the storm. I sure hope that it passes you by!

Skittles, good girl, avoiding the pizza! That's what I'll do sometimes...decide which food is more 'important' for me to have, instead of having it all!

2cute...:cp: Back on track! You go, girl!

Thin...:crossed: Prayers for Mr Thin's job comin' atcha! :crossed:

Angela...I just had to say, don't waste your time on self recrimination. It doesn't change a thing, only makes you feel bad about yourself. Stick with the thankfulness and keep that in mind the next time that you want to "over indulge." {{{{hugs}}}

j-ann...You are doing so well! You are on a roll, young lady! :cp:

Andria...How are you feeling today? What a bummer. How did it go with the doctor? *I'm fluffing a pillow for you to prop your leg upon*

Hi, to everyone else...I'm taking much longer here than I wanted to...I need to get my butt outside!

Later...

Good Afternoon Ladies!!!
 

Hiya,

Thank you SOOOO much for the warm welcome!! I will check out everyone's bios. a bit later.

Wow, I love the banter and the amazing amount of support and friendship that simply oozes from every post!!! I feel like y'all are just in the next room! :D
I have needed to find a place like this forever. DH is wonderful, my soulmate and all that, but being 6'2" and 140 lbs soaking wet, with a metabolism of a hummingbird, he simply will never be able to truly understand my lifelong battle of the bulge, as supporting, understanding and loving as he is.

Today was an okay day. I am looking forward to getting back on track with SB diet...I have finally figured out that carbs taste great, but I feel so much better when I eat more protein...more energy, more full, less logy and no cravings.

Well, gotta run. My 2 1/2 year old wants to eat. Have a great night!!

TTFN,

Chris

:coffee:

Oooops...Thankfulness
 

Hi again,

I forgot...Thankful Thursday. I am thankful for this place and all of you. I am incredibly thankful for my beloved DH and my two kids, Shayne and Jenniah. I am thankful that while I am overweight, I am relatively healthy and working on losing weight. Last but not least, I would be incredibly thankful to anyone who can develop a way to make broccoli taste like a Whopper w/cheese and spinach like Friendly's Forbidden Chocolate ice cream.
:lol:

Chris

First off, big hugs to everyone!

This week I'm thankful for many things (as always).
I'm thankful that I'm hopefully getting my new work out videos soon :D
I'm thankful that when I accidentally told my boss about my weightloss adventure - she got so happy and excited for me, I was happy I told her rather than regretting.
I'm thankful for therapy - its really helping me a lot.
I thankful for reallly winddyy and nice cool storm weather! I just dont want Hurricane Francise to harm me! But it can give me alll the wind it pleases.

I'm having some stresses.. and have been working longgg days..so I'm a bit worn out. But today I'm proud of myself because I rode a different bus so i could be lazy and not walk .... only to get off 3 bus stops early and just walk a mile anyway! I felt guilty :) and made up for it.

I'm so very tempted to buy some pizza tonight (our fridge is empty and I've had a long 12 hours day :( ) .. but I've been doing pretty badly in the food department lately, so I'm trying to convince myself not to. But jeez, I'm SOOOO hungry. I'm eating some applesauce to hold myself off until I make dinner..

I hope all of you have a had a good week, and will have a good weekend! Warm thoughts towards knees and husbands, and those of us needing to get back on track. And a welcome to Christine :) I'm a newbie too, so don't feel alone!

Oh yeah, I'm thankful for nice gentlemen who help you when you're about to fall on a bus! And thankful that my boss let me off 10 minutes early (though .. that hardly makes a difference one 12 hours ;p)

:grouphug:
Get moving!
:cheer: :coach:

I am THANKFUL to be home.

Welcome, Christine.

I will report in on my good and NOT so good food while in the cities tomorrow. I am so tired - I did get to the Mall of America. I felt sad. I miss my former life. :cry:

Oh, well. I will have a better prospective after some sleep!!!

:kickcan:
