I would love to join the challenge!

My goals for this challenge are:
1. Get into the 180s... (its been a long time)
2. Continue to exercise and make it a priority.

Look forward to getting to know everyone.

OK...I am freaking out I am so close to the 120's it aint funny....Why Am I so scared of the 120's???? I have no clue But I am...... I weighed 130.8 This morning. I even upped my calories a little bit more back when the scale got cleaned so I would not dip down to much more ~LOL~Even though maybe with my last bit of toning a few more pounds loss may be needed who knows But I am Freaking out.~Anyways.. Jiggle~So glad about your momma!
Northern~Hey girl!

~everyone else....I am so cold~heat is on & stuff~I think I was just disapointed about the weather!!! I am so ready for Spring!!! It was suppose to be 59 today & it is 38 Right now At nearly 1 p.m.~UGHHHHH
Anyways Maybe I am just meant to be smaller than I am allowing myself ~thing is I am such a tighwad & I guess I am gonna have to shop the kids sizes this year cause I Will need a whole new summer wardrobe again of bottoms proboly..Pants,Jeans/shorts, Ect. I am so tired Of wearing belts cause I have too Not cause I wanna.........But do not get me wrong I am so thankful I am where I am & not where I began~So if I sound like I am complaining~SMACK ME ~LMBO!
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SUPER DAY~HUGS TO ALL!
Off to change my ticker again.

Oh & am now basically More or less super close anyways to being half the size I was when I started my journey~that is FREAKY COOL!

WELCOME TO EVERYONE JOINING BY THE WAY & GOODLUCK WITH YOUR GOALS!

Lori: That's my ultimate goal...half my starting weight! My "realistic" goal is a healthy BMI (150ish), but I really want to make it to 137 so I can say I lost half my weight. Kind of silly, I know, but it just seems cool :) I guess I well re-evaluate as I get closer. I can't imagine being almost in the 120's! I was between 130-140 in high school...so in a weird way I can kind of understand not wanting to get lower than that...120 something would just seem "unnatural" for my body...if that makes sense? Though I would much rather have that problem than the one I have now...losing 50 more lbs!! I will do it though...slowly and surely ;)

Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but just wanted to say hi!

jiggle So glad to hear your mum is doing better!

Lori You continually amaze me! I wish I was getting closer to the 120's haha! I hate being short, I will still be relatively bigger than a lot of people when I get there though.

~Alright...doing ok with calories so far, though yesterday I didn't eat enough nutritious food at all. Basically the only thing of any worth was blueberries! I won't even go into what else I ate...not great.
I'm worried about weighing in tomorrow, I feel like I'm not going to lose...and I feel like at the moment the only thing in my life I have full control over is my weight...so if I lose that, well...my depression could get worse.

Lori- Really, you look great. Your more toned than I am for sure! I did the same when I started maintaining, upped my calories & still kept losing for quite a while. When your body adjusts it won't happen anymore.


Nice & sunny here today, but still chilly. So i rode the exercise bike for 30min., then went for a 30min. walk when it warmed up a bit. Felt so good to be in the sun! Day 3 of eating clean, went over my calories, had 1370. Ate 100 calories more cause I had more fruit. Hungrier from the extra exercise I guess. Lost 1.3 lbs, hopefully I can keep going without wanting something sweet. There is nothing here, we ran out of hubby's junk food, yay!!!

Ok Suprise Of the day~The computer was wrong & the temp was getting higher We got clear up to 68 Here In OHIO TODAY ~OMG! I am so loving that! It was wonderful.

Northern~I never was small other than maybe when I was a young child....Even in the 4th grade I remember I weighed 170 or so. So this is all new territory for me.~Actually My doctor thinks my progress is great & I don't look sickly I actually still have a few fatty spots I could stand to lose~(WELL HIDDEN USUALLY OF COURSE IN PICS LOL) I think I am so frightened of the 120's because when I was big~My hubby would always say (When I was upset over my weight)~I Love you so much Lori ~'Even if u aint a 120 pound model ~u are beautiful to me. I know that sounds silly but~I think ~Not that the 120's would make me model worthy but that maybe weirdly I thought It would & he would think better of me & it was one of those dreamy things that U never think would ever come true~Now I am 1 pound from it!~(MY hubby loves me regardless he is a super guy ~MOST DAYS LOL) I am just use to being the big girl maybe & It is all a bit much to me...~Oh & the be half the size u was when u started was such a dreamy thing too~I need to just calm down & enjoy it ~I am healthy~ Just my anxiety disorder is freaking me out I think. ~Sorry for the ramble too LOL~I don't even know if I made since ~LMBO!

Rainbow~I know how it feels to be short I am the shortest in the family I grew up with~My daughter that will be 18 soon & she is taking after me ~she is About 5'3" & Me & her wear about the same sizes And we are about 15 pounds apart in weight~It really aint fair to her.~Yet I think short people are cute!(my daughter though a super pain in my butt here lately is adorable!)
Anyways~U will get to your goal Eventually & We will celebrate Like CRAZY! As for me I ate a stupid nutty butty bar today ~310 calories of pure evil Unhealthy delight~UGH~Why oh why So even though I am within calorie range I had kinda of an unhealthy day too~we all have our moments.~HUGS!

Well Off to Facebook for a few(got 3 kids starring me down for a turn on the computer ~LOL I gotta hurry~(Still got dial up in the country so we take turns On one computer thats runs super slow internet wise..~TTYL)

HAVE A HAPPY TOMORROW EVERYONE & I HOPE Y'All Have Had a super today!

Fruit back for one more quick post since we must have posted around the same time~THANKS FOR THAT HANDY INFO U Have helped me calm down alot!~HUGS TO YA!

(I got into the hubby Little debbies today LOL~UGH!)
TTYL

Decided to skip the morning snack and boy am I glad I did! Ended up getting a salad for lunch and I was amazed - AMAZED - to get home and find out it was 730 calories! :eek: I know what most of you are thinking, "Well duh, salads can be the highest calorie items on some menus." I am very aware of that but thought I chose wisely on this one. I think I still may have because I can get a pretty good estimate of the ingredient amounts and calories and they aren't even close to 730. But I'm logging it in as such anyway.

So it will be a light-ish dinner. Still trying to decide between 1 serving of edamame, 1 medium orange, 1/2 serving of baby carrots and 1/3 serving of honey mustard pretzels for 238 calories (3 over my daily allowance :mad: :D ... maybe change it to 1/3 serving of pretzels minus 1 pretzel to take care of that :lol:) or 1 serving of Rice Krispies, 1/2 medium banana, 2 ounces of strawberries and 3/4 cup of chocolate almond milk for 235 calories. Leaning toward the first since I'm craving both the edamame and orange but will decide after I get home from the gym. Which I'm going to head to right now!

My goals are def.
Get under 150
Stay motivated
Stay on track
Gym 3X week

Hey all! Went to the gym last night and got in another 1.5 mile run in, I'm ready to crank up to 1.75 next time (maybe tonight!?).
Treated myself to a Subway sandwich today (since they have the sale going on) and ate half then was sad to see how many calories it was when I logged it in to my program… I was prepared for the sodium hit, but not that many calories. I went ahead and ate the other half for dinner only to realize that I hadn't saved the .5 measurement :)! So instead of scraping by a little over I'm right on track for my calories for the day, leaving enough for a post run/bedtime snack cup of chocolate milk.

everyone's goals sound really sensible achievable!

amanda2181 ~ great job on recovering from your falter! It's so easy to let one meal throw you off completely

ma26 ~ my stall weight has been 159. I've been in the 160's since before long before the holidays. I ended up taking Dec and Jan off for maintenance just to rewire my brain and hopefully my body, but I am seriously done being here.

Lori ~ awesome job! thanks for doing this and keeping track of us all!





My goals ~
log my calories everyday
get back up to a 5k run (currently 1.5 miles)
get below 159 (currently 164)
planks! planks every single day and get to 3 repeats of the Holy Cow plank challenge

Getting ready to go to bed & I am super chatty tonight~LOL!

Anyways just wanted to say good job to y'all & Thanks To spinach

Gotta go to a school meeting for my daughter tomorrow to do with an IEP Possibly~After she is nearly 18 & ready to quit~UGH~Wish us luck ~I have pushed for one (IEP) since grade school Now they have finally tested her & I think she failed it with flying colors which Would make some parents embarressed But I am so glad she did I was so sick Of them passing her with F's & d's for grades every year & overlooking her.~I would love for her to graduate & have the chance to learn as much as she can even if she is behind...We all wanna have our children succeed ~even if she just learns enough to get her basic Math needed for a simple job & to be able to pay bills I would be happy & even though at times she drives me bananas(as u most know)~I love her & I am proud of her regardless (USUALLY)lol.
Anyways I am chatty Lori tonight ~off to bed TTYL.(Just was great to get some more time in today to post a little more often)

Hi all. I am happy to report that yesterday went fairly well, both with the all day interview and the eating. No time to snack, and meals with strangers tend to be sensible (in terms of portion control, that is.) I have time before I need to head to the airport, so I am debating - walk at the gym, or explore downtown a little by foot. (I have a second choice, too. Healthy breakfast or blueberry pancakes. As much as I love pancakes, I have a feeling I would be heading in the wrong direction, and as such, I cannot tempt myself - even if I *tell* myself I won't eat the whole plate.)

Aside from that, you guys are all doing so wonderfully!
Spinach - with your running, are you aiming for a goal? Years ago when I got down in to the 160's (an yes, I let many bad decisions put all the weight plus some back on), I set goals of races - mostly 5K or 10K charity runs & walks. I'm thinking I might start that again this spring. It gives me something to look forward to when I am training and/or getting bored on the treadmill.

Manders- what program are you using to track calories at restaurants? A friend of mine mentioned one, but I haven't checked any of them out yet.

Thanks, chickadee. It's one day at a time. And 5 days traveling is tough. I'm headed home today, so only half as long as your upcoming trip. It seems to make a difference if the trip is for work or family, too. With work, I am by myself and have time to do things that I wouldn't have time to do if it were with my hubby and toddler. Even worse - if I am visiting my family or my in-laws, it seems that everything is about food. (I'll have that challenge in a few weeks, too.)

OK Only on for a quick sec got to go to the school for my meeting about my daughter in a few...Just wanted to say ~OMG ~I Am in the FREAKING 120's & scared to death ~LMBO!129.8 this morning~OMG! (why do I have to have an anxiety disorder?) Anyways I am officially less than half my before size I lost half of me!~ Seems unreal~

Hello to ya Amanda~Have a safe trip Home

TTYL LATER~Off to start the car to be ready for this meeting ~WISH ME LUCK~MY NERVES ARE A MESS TODAY!
~HOPE EVERYONE HAS A SUPER DAY~

About 1550 calories yesterday, not bad.

Exercise hasn't been happening this week though. Our vehicles have all conspired to take a crap this week. Cracked windshield in the Jeep (covered by insurance, thankfully), weird computer sensor problem in the car (covered by the warranty, thankfully) and brakes and front end problems in the old plow truck (not covered by anything...$1500. Ouch!) All we've been doing after work is running around from shop to shop playing musical vehicles. By the time we get home and have dinner, it's late and I'm just too worn out to have any motivation for exercise. I *think* we're done with car problems now, so my plan is to at least do my 30 minute WATP tonight. Better than nothing, I guess!

Rainbow: I am also worried about WI tomorrow. My last WI was Monday (I usually WI on Fridays, but wanted a final WI for the V-Day challenge.) So with a short week and virtually no exercise, I'm not very optimistic about tomorrow! Thankfully we have each other to lean on even if the scale isn't coopertating!

Lori and Fruit: hasn't this warm up been great?? It was almost 60 here yestereday and a ton of snow has melted this week. Unfortunately our "heat wave" is coming to an end tonight, but I sure enjoyed it while it lasted.

Everyone else: Glad to see more people hopping on board with some great goals! Congrats to those of you who are staying OP with your calories and exercise. You are inspiring me to correct my rough start!!

Wed calories: 1615. Exercise: 30 min elliptical(200 cal)

Calories are creeping up again - trying to stay between 1200-1500, but closer to the lower end most days. Also did not get in as good a workout as I would have liked - DH had band practice so I had to cut it short. But I insisted in getting it in!

I'll be away with DH tomorrow, returning later Saturday. Will get right back on plan!

Northern, sorry about the cars. Doesn't everything seem to happen at once? My official weigh-in is tomorrow too - I'm not expecting much either!

Lori, like fruit I had the same issue when I lost weight in the past - my goal was 123 and I kept losing until I was 119, then it stopped. I was afraid to increase my calories. The WW staffer told me to stop on the way home from the meeting and get myself a bagel with cream cheese. It was delicious! You will be fine, you're keeping an eye on it.

spinach, I'm working on my running too! I'm signed up for a 5K in April. I'm up to 2.5 miles now, increasing .25 miles/week. Then I need to work on my speed - I am SLOW!

See everyone Saturday!

Ended the day at 1500 calories yesterday. I've been so tired the past couple days. I didn't get my workout done at lunch and was planning to do it at home but I was so tired that I got dinner served and ate then I was sleep. What could this mean??? I've been taking my vitamins and supplements so I'm not sure why...any suggestions? Anyone?

Yesterday = 1,381!!
On target for 2 whole days :dizzy:

Manders- what program are you using to track calories at restaurants? A friend of mine mentioned one, but I haven't checked any of them out yet.

I use livestrong for my tracker. But I always, always check the nutritional information on the restaurants website to verify what's on there is accurate. I find it hilarious that the web team says they check everything, want it to be all accurate and won't put a verified tag on things that aren't correct. And then you find something that's all the same (item and serving size) and there are several different calorie contents, all noting they are verified! :dizzy: If a restaurant I go to doesn't have nutritional information, I look it up on livestrong for comparable items. Then when I actually have the plate in front of me, before I take a bite, I take a good look at the size, proportions of the ingredients, etc. That tells me if what I've found is in the ballpark. Unless I feel that it's over what's on livestrong, I'll log it in as what I've found.

Glad your trip went well!

Morning all! Hope everyone is feeling good about the progress they're making. I know I am. Just hope it continues! :cheer2:

I inputted my daily food last night and feel like I'll be eating a horse today! :hungry: I have a feeling the 2 cups of broccoli for dinner will turn into 1 because I won't be that hungry and I'm not sure if I have 2 in my frig. :D

- Breakfast: 1 serving of Rice Krispies (130), 1 medium banana (105) and 3/4 cup Blue Diamond Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk (33-3/4). 268-3/4 calories total.

- Lunch: 2 slices Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat bread, 1 slice Oscar Meyer roasted turkey (30), 1 wedge LC garlic Swiss (35), 1 slice of tomato (4), 1/4 cup baby arugula (5), 1/2 serving baby carrots (17-1/2), 1 serving honey mustard pretzels, 1 medium orange and 1 container of light strawberry yogurt (90). 445-1/2 calories total.

- Dinner: 1 serving homemade red beans and rice (313), 2 cups broccoli (62) and 1 serving soy sauce (5). 380 calories total.

- Evening snack: 1 chocolate chip meringue (24) crushed up over 1 serving cheesecake Jell-o (made with 1% milk - 80). 104 calories total.

1198-1/4 calories total for the day

Regular workout today.

Have a great one! :cb:

Spinach- im sorry you have been stuck too! It does comfort a bit to know I'm not the only one though.

Had a great lifting workout and a very Half a$$ recumbent bike cardio workout.

After yesterday I realized I need to go back to calorie counting. I had made big
changes in what I've been eating. Addin huge portions of veggies and fruit. And cutting out processed food. Which helped me lose some weight and I've never felt healthier in my life. But I think that I won't be able to get through this stall until I start logging and counting calories.

I have an iPhone app that I love, so I don't know why I'm dreading this. Logging is easy. I think what I'm dreading is the measuring and weighing.

So I'll start logging calories on here I think. I haven't decoded a calories goal. I think I'll do 1300 if no to light gym. 1500 on days I'm logging more than 3 miles for a run.

Yep, I did my first 5k last Thanksgiving and I'm planning on doing one on St Pats! I'm hoping I can be in a place to do a 10K on Thanksgiving this year.:D

Natamers ~ speed doesn't matter in a 5k. I ran with a friend who is a "runner" who was very sweet to keep my pace, slooow and steady (about a 12 minute mile). We weren't the last people across the finish line... but back there! And I swear to you it felt like first :)
I did the same increase plan! Now that I'm back into it I'm adding a tenth of a mile each run. Back up to 1.8 and it's feeling really good.

I'm in! I currently weigh 187. My goal is to lose at least 5 lbs till St. Patty's Day. I'm also counting calories. I'm on the treadmill every other day. Jogging 2 minutes & walking 1 minute for 30 minutes. My goal is to also run 1 mile without stopping. Hopefully I can do that.

Lori My whole family is short, but I'm the shortest at only 5 foot haha! I don't mind it sometimes, but I feel like it's harder to get to a weight that looks good on me!

Northern Scale did not cooperate, so I'm definitely leaning on you guys today haha. My exercise has also not been happening, but that's more due to my laziness/depression than not having time to do it.

jiggle Could be stress catching up with you...hang in there.

So I was really wanting to keep up with my pound a week loss, usually I see it on my Friday morning weigh in (I don't weigh Wed or Thurs) but today it's only 200 grams/ .4 of a pound. I know I could still see a loss Sat or Sunday, but sadly enough, seeing that loss today has been one of the only positive thoughts in my week.
I'm going to have a challenging weekend calories wise. Tonight is the Chinese Lantern Festival which we also know as "food on a stick" festival because there are so many different food vendors with amazing meats and other things on sticks. I don't want to give up this tradition but I know I have to be careful as there is definitely a lot of oil and other not so great things. Any tips?

Sounds like you are going with people? If so and they're willing to share, you could split a few of the sticks with someone or take a bite of each one they get.

And I would assume you'll be walking around the festival...hello exercise! :D

manders Thanks for the ideas! Yeah we'll be walking but it will be more like... ambling haha.

Lovely day again, 60 & sunny. Made sure to take a walk for 30min, before we left I rode the bike for 25min. My calories were 150 over my limit, 1425. I bought yoplait chocolate eclair, yogurt delights. I had to try one with some fat free whipped cream. It tasted like chocolate pudding, yum! They are 100 calories & 1.5g. of fat, not bad. I've been doing so much lately with housework & exercise, I feel like the energizer bunny. Time to finally sit & watch T.V!

My pleasure! And being the extraordinarily lazy person that I am...ambling totally counts! :D

SPINACH - I know you will knock this next 5K out of the park! And if you are doing a 5K now, you can certainly handle the 10K in November!

As for me, I never made it home yesterday. :( Got bumped, took a nice little voucher, and stayed in a hotel. Downside, I didn't see my family, the gym wasn't open at 6 like it should have been and I don't have time to wait, and I had to eat a so-so dinner last night. Upside, once I know what my job situation is like for next year, maybe we'll take a nice trip to the Caribbean with the voucher. :) (Yes, it's that good that it will cover my airfare there. :D )

Hopefully, I am home by noon as scheduled, we'll pick up my baby from daycare, and if the weather is nice, head to the park for a walk.

Have you guys seen the guy from the Doctors show promoting his N.E.A.T. theory? It's nothing new, just a cool name, but I've been trying to apply the principles in my daily routine.

Alright all, must get ready for breakfast and try to catch the 7:30 a.m shuttle. May not post tomorrow, but should be back by Sunday at the latest!

134.4 this morning - woo-hoo!!! Met my V-Day goal 4 days late.

Off with DH now - see everyone tomorrow!

Hi All! Sorry I have been MIA - have missed you all greatly! First TOM snuck up on me a week early yesterday. My weight was up this morning, but I am hoping it will go back down in a few days.

I have not been recording anything this week. I have some personal matters giong on, and between the strees, lack of sleep & TOM by body is going crazy! I need to get more water in me too! Just been a bad week.

If in the end I gain, I will just have to pick myself up and start over!

I will go back and read everyone's post soon so I can see how great you all are doing!

Have a great day.

My SW: 230.4. But I lost a few lbs of water weight so changing my GW from 219 to 215.6.

SW: 230.4
CW: 224 (-6.4)
GW: 215.6

:cupgold: :drinkup: :goldpot: :patrick:

Good Luck, Everyone! Let's hope we find our pot of weight loss by St Paddy's Day.

Monday's WI: 189.6
Todays' WI: 188.5

Considering the short week and the fact that my exercie wasn't where it should be, I will GLADLY take a 1.1 lb loss!

Going out of town for the long weekend, so will probably be offline after today until Monday. I think I have a pretty good plan to stay OP with food, except for a fabulous cheat meal we have planned for Sunday night...the best little authentic Italian restaurant with the best pizza ever! It's a must do when in that neck of the woods, and totally worth it :)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Today will be an exercise in massive willpower...I have to go into the kitchen to bake cookies today. :yikes: Can't sell something if I don't know how it tastes. But I have already built in one of each type of cookie into my daily allotment. I know it will be a struggle to only eat the two though. And then I'm going to out dinner for pizza and must have enough willpower to only eat two slices. Because after that we are enjoying some Cake Bubbles. :drool: I have also figured those into my allotment as well. And with all that, I've got a little wiggle room. But I don't really want to use it because my dinner is fairly high in fat. I've been very, very pleased with my progress this week and don't want to knock it off kilter now.

- Breakfast: 1 package lower sugar maple and brown sugar oatmeal (120), 1/2 cup Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (20) and 1 medium orange (64). 204 calories total.

- Lunch: 2 slices Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat bread, 1 slice Oscar Meyer roasted turkey (30), 1 wedge LC queso (35), 1 slice of tomato (4), 1/4 cup baby arugula (5), 1/2 serving baby carrots (17-1/2) and 1 container of light black cherry yogurt (90). 241-1/2 calories total.

- Afternoon Snack: 1 oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (52) and 1 snickerdoodle cookie (52.5). 104-1/2 calories total.

- Dinner: 2 slices hand-tossed crust sausage and mushroom pizza (430) and 8 tasting bites of Cake Bubbles (208). 638 calories total.

1188 calories total for the day

Gym is closed today so I'm hoping to go on a long walk after being in the kitchen. I'm just glad cooking burns more calories than being in front of the computer! :D

Rode the bike for 30min. then took a 30min. walk, the weather is beautiful. Did better with my calories today, 1320. Going over my limit for the past 3 days, didn't seem to do anything, but I have been running non stop for the past week. I don't get to sit til 9pm. I actually lost weight, my goal is 107lbs. now. My clothes fit better & I feel better at that weight. If I give myself this new goal, it will help me stay on plan. I'm not even planning to over eat this weekend, don't even want to. I found a delicious yogurt I will eat if I want chocolate. Has anyone ever tried Yoplait yogurt delights? The chocolate eclair flavor tastes like pudding. Yum! Did I tell you about these yesterday? I don't remember.

Have a great weekend!

Did ok at the festival, not brilliantly, but I can still average my week out pretty well. I don't feel bad about it because it's a once a year thing and I didn't have a "free-for-all" eat everything I want type of night, I was thoughtful about what I ate!

Scale said 169.4 this morning. :) I'm so excited to be into this decade. :). Barely my tiptoe in. But it has been awhile since I've seen a 16 on the scale.
Calories were high yesterday :(. 1900's. Sheesh. No wonder the weight loss stalled! Anyways glad to see people doing well. Tracking again today. Hope I'm more diligent and stay in my calorie range.
Running logged: mon:8 tues: 2 thurs:3.75 fri: 3
So I'm at 16.75 miles for the week!! Maybe I should have set the goal for 20 miles :).
