Natamars: I know what you mean about too much junk...I've been doing good on the calories so far, but too much of mine are junk too. Hope you're feeling better soon!

JD: good deal on the new dart set!

Rainbow, Grace, Priss, BigMama, Lori, Jiggle and Fruitlady: good to see you guys again! Sorry I'm a little late joining this one, but I'm so glad we're all back for another challenge!

As for me: Ended yesterday at about 1550 calories. Did 20 minutes elliptical, 20 minutes yoga but only about 5 minutes weights. Tonight I think it's my 3 mile WATP video.

Oh, I thought you guys might get a kick out of this....when we were in Laughlin, I got CARDED...not once, but TWICE! (Once on the casino floor, and then a couple nights later at dinner when I ordered a drink.) I am 37 years old! People keep telling me I look younger since I've lost weight, but for anyone to mistake me for 21 (or anywhere NEAR 21)....I think they need to get their eyes checked, lol. Nonetheless, it was a nice little ego boost :)

Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

I'm back y'all. I know I keep saying that, but I've got to get recommitted.

My Valentines day goal is:
1. Check in and post on 3fc daily - top priority.
2. Fit in my size 10 jeans comfortably again.
3. Stick to consistant exercise. Treadmill and new kettle-bell workout.
4. Weigh in consistantly - no more avoiding the scale.

I'm TOM right now, so when it's over in a few days I'll re-weigh. I haven't weighed since right before T-giving.

Wow you ladies are already on page 8 :D
Well after falling off plan for the last three challenges I've decided I need more support so I'm joining weight watchers tomorrow. I need the face the scale in front of someone else to keep me honest. Plus I enjoy the meetings as well. This should give me the push I need to stay on track. I'll be back tomorrow with my goals for v-day.

did well yesterday....already walked today...when i got up yesterday the scale said 247...today 242 so if i continue to lose 5 lbs a day, i'll be at goal next week...or maybe i need a new scale! have a great day everyone

northernexposure-- Love when that happens!

susieyarb- Welcome back! We're all draggin' our feet to get back on track. No worries! I plan to try and post here daily with positive intentions, too.

bbrrrrrr, so cold here!!

Have been doing really well this week with calories, and Bikram is going well. I plan on taking a class in a few hours.

Weighing in tomorrow morning.... hoping for good news.

Lots of stressful (but positive) stuff is happening/in the works, and I notice that with this stress comes the urge to snack. I'm making an effort lately to get comfortable with a.) waiting to eat to see if it's just an emotion I'm feeling, and b.) actually tolerating the feeling of being hungry (which I HATE, I'd rather be cold!! haha)

Anyone else working on this?

Will post tomorrow with current weight!

xoxo

ok im in i need to lose some
goal is to lose 10 pounds by valintines
and workout and run and hr a day

jdonato Thanks for the encouragement. I'm ready for healthy foods, they're just not around at the moment hah! As for your sushi question - I think it's generally pretty healthy? I eat some salmon sushi from a sushi place by my work every so often, and it's 45 calories per small piece + soy sauce - I guess the sodium is not the best thing, but it's not like you drown it in soy sauce...and you can get lower sodium soy sauces as well.

Northern Haha awesome!! I get carded every single time I try to go somewhere, but I'm only 24 and look pretty young so I kind of understand - the drinking age here is 18 though, so I still get annoyed sometimes - I wonder when you pass the line from annoyance to feeling flattered? I feel like I'm always going to look like a baby!

~Unfortunately reached 1800 calories yesterday, which is my usual limit for a cheat type of day..and yesterday was not meant to be one of those days! The stupid thing about it is that nearly 400 calories of those were from alcohol - summer and socialising is going to take it's toll! I should be able to make a deficit with the next few days since I'm not planning on going out at all, but my hunger is seemingly insatiable and it's kind of frustrating. I am so unhappy about going back to work tomorrow.

jdonato- I missed you too!!

susieyarb- Welcome back!

As for me, i had 1250 cal. lost .7 lbs. This is fat weight I gained, I was afraid of that. The last 2lbs. were, that's why it's taking so long to lose. I have been eating clean for 11 days, I feel great not eating junk in so long. I was craving chocolate so bad today, I don't have any junk food in the house so I could'nt have any. I'm so glad

Rainbow: I remember being annoyed in my 20's too. I think by about 30 you start feeling flattered :) I remember getting carded on my 30th birthday...needless to say he got a good tip, lol.

HEY GUYS!!! I'm BAAACK! LoL It made me feel a LIL better that I wasn't the only one MIA for the last few challenges (Hey SUSIE & LOSING!!!) But, as of today, I'm back ON TRACK!! I've been gone since about September and during that time, have gone through a divorce...actually just finalized it yesterday!!! As I Posted in a new thread I started tonight, I weighed in at the GYN on Monday at 190...now I know that this is not accurate based on all the alcohol I had over the holiday weekend AND the sodium!! Plus, it's not MY scale...soooo, I plan to CHUG CHUG CHUG the water this week and come Monday, I'm going to get an official WI! I'm sure I've gained atleast 10-15lbs since September bc my jeans are getting TIGHT!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

My Valentine's day goals are as follows:
1-Get back ON PLAN - start with tracking calories
2-SIGN INTO 3FC DAILY
3-Re-Evaluate my Daily Calorie Goal
4-START EXERCISING AGAIN!!! I've actually missed working out AND NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD THINK I'D SAY I MISSED EXERCISE!!! haha

I'm not setting a Weight goal as I feel I will get discouraged...I just want to get back ON TRACK and start losing again...slowly working towards that 150lb mark!!! IT'S NICE TO BE BACK!!! I've missed you guys!!!

Hello everyone,
Sorry for being MIA since New Year......

Happy New Year to everyone and hope everyone is looking forward to a healthy year...

My New year's eve was pretty good, def. overate opps spent it with my church family hence a huge diverse potluck...

However got some, bad news on sunday evening which cause a bad downhill spiral and have been pretty much eating and depressed in bed crying.Haven't worked out at all in the new year...
Managed to get out of the house today and went to Bible study today and that has helped lift my spirit a bit....

Sorry for the vent...I really hope to that I will be able to go to the gym tomorrow or atleast deal with this huge blow cause right now I just feel so up and down with it...

Good night all...
A

Yay, Its so nice to see a lot of my old peeps back from older challenges!:carrot:

JD- I haven't got a clue about the nutrition of Sushi, maybe someone will chime in here. I've missed you too and wondered how you were doing. Last that I can remember you had just got offered a new job and you were engaged or about to be...hows all that going? Good job with your workouts and eating!!

KDM-Welcome back! Good luck and yeah, gotta love that sodium,arg. I haven't weighed all week then i broke this morning and im scratching my head at the scale,but im not going to worry too much about it.

Northeren-Feels so good to get carded!!! I still do too, i don't mind at all,LOL.

Fruitlady- BRAVO for you! Keep up the good work girl! Im afraid ive gained a few too...will see on my official weigh in day Sunday.

Rainbow-Hope you have a good day today! Hang in there!

David-High fives on the weight loss so far!

Hello to EVERYONE I MISSED...wish I had more time to do more personals! I will check back in tomorrow.

Did great yesterday, took in 1635 calories but i burned 715 with a high intensity step aerobics followed by some upper body heavy lifting. Had a nice workout:)

Today will be a rest day, don't want to over do it. I may do some yoga. Im still looking for a job guys so keep your fingers crossed that all the job apps i filled out Tuesday will start calling me back.

k, later gators

Hello ladies (and gentlemen!)

Destiny: I'm sorry to hear about the bad news. I hope things start looking up for you soon.

KDM: I commented on your other thread...but welcome back (again!)

Susie: I missed you on my last post...welcome back!

So DH weighed in today (first time he's WI'd since before the holidays) and he's up 2 lbs. I'm hoping my damage is also minimal. My last WI before Christmas was 193.6. Hoping tomorrow is no more that 195, but I'd even be ok with 196...just really don't want to be back near that 200 mark!! Depending on what happens tomorrow, I'm thinking I may set my V day goal to get somewhere in the 180's. I would love to see 185 ("just" overweight on the BMI scale), but I doubt that will be realistic. I guess I shouldn't get too far ahead of myself until I know what the damage is. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yesterday I had about 1600 calories (top end of my range, but still in it.) I did do a 45 minute WATP video with resistance bands, plus a 10 minute ab workout. Tonight I'm going to stay away from strength training so I can retain as little water tomorrow as possible for WI. I'm thinking elliptical and yoga, probably.

Well, today is my Friday as I have a personal day tomorrow for our girls' weekend out of town. Have a good one, everyone!

Alrighty, I weighed in when I woke up....

Drum roll ......123.8, which was my pre-holiday weight.
I'm happy, and ready to keep going!


Have a great day everyone!
-FPSJ

1245 calories yesterday, 35 minutes on the elliptical, and 10 minutes of stairclimbing and walking at the office. Only 40 calories in chocolate - progress! Trying to limit my empty calories to 10%.


FPSJ, that is awesome! You must feel fantastic now.

Northern, sending you low scale vibes! I peeked at the scale today - it's up more than I had hoped, but it could have been worse. Think I know what my V-Day goal will be, but I'll wit until my official weigh-in tomorrow to create a new ticker. Enjoy your long weekend!

misspriss, awesome workout!

destiny, hope things turn around for you soon. Try to post a lot - we're here for you.
