[QUOTE=Lisi],
Appears I've been goofing off, not exercising, and not stopping at the right number of calories. Really have been off track.

and I know you will do
Well its been a bit stressful this week and I realize that over indulging has been the case. So I am going to make a mends today and get it all back under control before it goes any further. Sometimes the emotional eating just gets to us. Then we take a look back and thank goodness take note. I am going to preplan my meals and workouts and go forward and not look back! I want to reach my thanksgiving goal. I have been losing the past 2 weeks at a lb. a wk. Just caught myself slipping up. Yah know a long time would of gone by in the past before I would of noticed so this is progress for sure. Only 2 days is not a big deal and I can learn from what made me slip up. Good luck everyone else an I hope your week is going well. Today is only thurs. not all is lost for me! Workouts and intakes will be my thoughts the rest of this week!

I'm down four pounds this week. I really attribute it to the water I'm drinking. I've also started doing 45 minutes a day on the treadmill. 3.0 mph. I read an article that a slow and steady walk for at least 45 minutes will burn fat just as much as running or jogging.
that's great...that's what happens with a strong constitution to do something.
i don't know why you think people hate you, you should be an inspiration to people. i've been dieting for the last 20 years and NOTHING worked. until i found out that i have to have my gall bladder out and eat a low fat diet and guess what? i lost 10 pounds in a month. i'll take anything i can get...i have never lost weight ever!!!
i really need to exercise and drink more water and i'm sure the pounds will MELT off...
people are funny...some people just can't be happy for someone else's good fortune...keep up the good work and continue to post...i'm sure that's not the case that people don't like you because of that...that's what we are all here for support!!!
I have been around 3FC, but out of the loop here for the week. I have had a lot going on this past month, personal and business wise.
Just checking in to see how things are going for everyone. Today is strength training day for me, and I also have troupe rehearsal tonight, so I will be dancing as well.
I had coffee and oatmeal for breakfast, and am aiming for a good day with productivity in business and troupe, a clean on plan diet today, and plenty of exercise.
You all seem to be doing good, thats always good to see.
I have been doing ok, been maintaining weight so thats a plus, loosing would be better but I'll take maintaining to, better than gaining.
My fiance and I took my 2 boys and his son out hiking Saturday, that was fun, hiked for 4 hours, went 3.5 miles, the hike down was harder than the hike up, if you can believe that, lol....but it was just beautiful out and it was so nice to be out in the fresh air. (Trying to get it all in now before winter hits )
Hello everyone! Congrats Diamond Girl! Continue to work hard and you will reach your goal. You have to stay inspired and motivated thats the key to success.
Aphil you have such a busy schedule that alone with children must burn off calories.
I chased around the country side with my grandkids this weekend apple picking and then the pumpkin farm. I got my exercise that was for sure. I still need to get to the gym lately it is so dark in the a.m. that I can't seem to leave the house on time. I just don't feel like taking off before the sun is up. I am keeping busy with some other exercise but miss the gym. I am working in my gardens trying to get ready for next spring preparing for our winter weather. That will burn some calories and build some muscles. I have been doing well with the eatting for the most part. Trying to stay around 1300- 1500 max. It is working and I have pretty much adjusted to the cals. Lots of apples for snack their good in fiber and only around 70 cals smaller ones. Well good luck everyone and keep moving!
You all seem like such a nice group. I started my new life last week. I have tried several dozen times in the past but never stuck with it. This time DH is doing it with me and for some reason I feel different about it this time. Happy, determined, focused..of course I'm sure I'll have my days when I'm mad at the world cause I can't eat half a pizza and a pint of ice cream . But I know in my heart that those days will pass and in the end when I reach my goal I'll be happier than any food could make me. I actually caught myself smiling at Denise Austin this morning while I was attempting to make it through her daily workout . Only made it halfway through but it's a start. Let's see about me... I'm a 29yo SAHM for a 9 yr old girl, a 4 yo girl, a 2 yo boy, and a 42 yo hubby. We live in Virginia. We have 1 dog, 2 cats and some fish. I like to read, paint ceramics, sew, listen to music,dream about how we're gonna fix up our house someday, and spend as much time with my family as possible. I am using fitday to track my calories. My goal is 1200-1500 a day and less than 47 grams of fat. I have about 80 lbs to lose, and hope to have most of it off by July 1st next year when we go visit hubby's family out west. We haven't seen any of them except his mom and dad (and that was 2 years ago when they came out here) in 5 1/2 years. They haven't even got to meet our 2 youngest and we have 3 new nephews that we've never seen. So this trip is a big deal for us. Well I guess that's about all. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know everyone.
Life changing moment for me on Friday.... I'm getting LASIK. I am so BLIND. I have been wearing contacts but lately they have just been bugging the he!! out of me. So off I went to see if it could be done! Yup I'm an excellent candidate. I feel like I'm living my own Extreme Makeover. LOL. I so excited, but nervous just the same!
Hi all,
Still struggling here. I know I still care - as opposed to awhile back when I really wasn't taking any action. Walking not every day, and still not back to the great low of 208 I was so happy with. I am starting to work the OA program online as a new quarter of Step and Big Book study has begun Oct. 1, for those of you who are familiar with that. Its bad habits and emotional eating.
Weather iffy here, rainwise. If I can't make the walk, I'll put in a video.
Heather, very nice to meet you. Welcome to a fine group of supportive women.

Hang in there Lisi, I am struggling to hang in too.
Welcome Heather!
Well I was up a few lbs but dropped them within the same week so I wrote that one off as water weight from my monthly being here! I am maintaining at 150 but seeing that weight gain Monday got me worried and I did some out side jogging last night. I am getting really board with my workouts and had to try something new. I liked and it was out of my comfort zone! It felt good out side and my heart rate was up. My legs are feeling it today but over all I think I did great. I think I am going to try to keep with this through fall until it gets too cold. Being in the Carolinas it will not get too cold till December or January? I am hoping with a cleaner diet and some new work outs I can get this last 25lbs off for good over the winter and be ready for a great summer next year of maintaining my goal weight!
Have a good day and "mind of matter"...That first step is the hardest!
OMG...did you know that one chocolate glacsed cake donut from DD is 290 Guess coffee with the hubby wasn't such a good idea. Luckily I hadn't had my actual breakfast yet. I start the day with a dannon yogurt, then around 9:30 have oatmeal or Special K. I'm gonna have to supplement my nutrients. I still cannot believe one little donut is so much!!!
You know you want it bad
Today is strength training day for me, and I also have troupe rehearsal tonight, so I will be dancing as well.
