misspriss- thank you! I have been trying to maintain for over a year now, just can't figure it out completely.

Well I lost 2 more ounces and am down to 105.5 I feel and look exactly the way I want to at this weight. So tell me why I ate the rest of that ice cream today and then went out and bought light chocolate fudge ice cream and ate alot of that too! Like I didn't have enough the first time, I was up to 4200 cal. today because I made peanut butter too. Of course I had to eat it, it was only 3 tablespoons, but it adds up quick. I don't think I'll get away with today's overeating, so I will most likely have to work on losing the weight all over again.

Did 30DS L3 today! Not going to get my TM WO in tonight...I"m in alot of pain...not sure what it is...STOP READING IF YOU DON"T LIKE TMI---may be just cramps since TOM is here...or could get gas...or even UTI...I'm having slight burning during urinations, so I got some pills to take that are OTC (I dont really like cranberry juice unless it has vodka! haha)...or it could even just be sore muscles from the 30DS...or a combo of any of these! I dunno, but I'm in tremendous pain, almost enough to double me over! so needless to say, I'm skipping the TM...excuses, excuses...I know...Right OP with my calories tho :)

Hope everyone had a great day!!!!

im ready for the challenge today is july 22 and I weigh 264 my goal will be to lose 10 lbs by labor day so i need to lose 2 lbs a week. good luck everyone with your goal.:swim::dust:

Ack... boxes all over the place... Dad stressed because we have to get absolutely EVERYTHING in the house and set up in like... two days (and note... ALL of the people moving house... actually doing things... are me, my lil' bro, and my Dad... that IT)... so it's making me stressed... hence... I have chocolate... partially because I like chocolate and partially because it's currently the only thing in the house because today's my mom's birthday and she can have whatever she wants (which is chocolate)...

ACK... I NEED MY MUSIC!!! (my Zune went and got mad at me again... and I think it might have deleted all my music... and my computer is in the US... and I'm in Serbia... urgh...)

So... yeah. Just trying to stay sane here... :p

Good morning Everyone!!!

Glad to be able to post. Since we've been back from NO I have been so sleepy, even at work. I have been SUPER busy at work and away from my desk so I couldn't post anything or fall asleep. I have missed everyone. I'm eating on plan except yesterday I had a chocolate rice crispy bar because I've been craving chocolate since Monday so I got some to ease my mind...no more cravings or even thinking about it. I've done so much walking around campus the last couple days in the heat, I counted that as my workouts for those days. I will get back on my mile runs today. One more week of these long hours and back to my regular schedule and more intense workouts.

I haven't read all the posts I've missed but I'm sure you all have been doing a great job. We have over a month left and I'm really wanting to get in a 12 if not very very close. I won't be devastated if I'm just getting in a 14 comfortably because I'm still a long way away from where I started.

Let's have an on plan day on purpose today. We deserve to be good to ourselves!!!

Morning,

Today is just yoga and thats it! I will do Jillian's yoga meltdown level 1 and call it a day.

Lori-I sang a few times yesterday and saved some, i started to give myself a headache,LOL. I never realized that when i sing i go into this high pitch sound and it hurts my head :lol:. When i go on there today i will post one of those...i like singing Miranda Lambert's "the house that built me".. love that song. I did Olivia Newton johns "desperately devoted " off Grease and was awful at it...its so much fun though..LOL. I won't even try any Whitney houston or martina mcbrides...my voice has one range, and its very limited LOL. My son was playing video games when i was singing and he said" mom, do you have to do that, its hurting my ears!:o" .....mmmmm,k

Thunda-:bravo: and your medal should be arriving shortly:p. Nice job girl!!:carrot:

:welcome: bigmamatexas

love2b150-Nice job on the 1lb weight loss!

jigglefree- Glad to see your doing well. The weather in GA is dreadful..ugh.

Serbrider-I hope the moving goes smoothly for you!

fruitlady-Im sure you will find that perfect calorie range that will keep you at maintenance soon.

KDM322-Hope you feel better soon:hug:...none of those symptoms sound fun:(

flower-:congrat: on going down a size!

Hello to everyone i missed!

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone,
I think everyone is doing good, lets keep it up. I am thrilled to have found you all and to see all the possitive things you are doing for your health.

Welcome bigmamatexas!

Fruitlady - We are not perfect and we do not have to be. We just have to be realistic and when we are not OP we just need to make up for it, spend an extra 5-10 min working out for a while. Do not be too rough on yourself, you have come a long way and you will just be extra good for a while. I feel a bit silly giving you advice since you have been so succesful and I am still at the beginning stages. Your weightloss and maintance is amazing, you can, and will continue to be successful!

Good Morning everyone. Just got up and check everyones post and then I got to get ready for the gym to do water arobics and swim laps. Hope everyone has a good day today. And good luck on your goals. I sure am enjoying this site since I found it. This is my 3rd day cant wait till my tracker shows up. I went over my calorie intake yesterday but not too bad. My limit is 1200 and when i figured it up it was 1250. So hafe to watch it more closely. :swim: :dust: :wave:

Thank you envelope and I will try to remember what you said. I'm number 1 person that alway get very frustrated when either dont lose or gain and my friends at the gym keeps telling me the same thing. That ive done good but I feel after all my work just like this past week I stayed the same weight. Just want to see 1 or 2 lbs lost would be nice. :smile: :swim: :dust: :wave:

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to say hello. Im having a busy day today and I cant wait for tomorrow to come its the start of the weekend. My grandsons 1st birthday is Sunday and we are celebrating at a park with COOK OUT FOOD!! I will have to be on my toes that day because i love cookout hotdogs!!
I am down .5 pounds today.. which to me is still good!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Hey everyone I feel so out of the loop.

My daughter has swimming lessons this week and my schedule is all out of whack so I haven't been online much.

I ate TERRIBLY yesterday. I was so craving the Sonic chili-cheese-coney that they've been advertising and I ate one for lunch. Of course I was in the bathroom all afternoon paying the penalty for my sin!! Then I snitched some fries and ate 1/2 a peanut butter sandwich last night. I probably came in only a bit over my calories, but the salt was bigtime and I can't even remember if I ate a vegetable at all yesterday! Oh I also had a mongo big Diet Coke! And a 1/2 a sugar cookie! Ok, that's all...I think.

I've been totally op food wise today, except for my water which has been off all week because I'm away from home so much I can't drink as much.

I'm up 1.5 pounds this morning, but TOM is lurking around the corner so that's got something to do with it, plus all the sodium I consumed yesterday.

I'll get back on track, I must!
