Hey Goddess - Welcome back!

Shy - I think 1 gallon is about 4 L - 16 cups. You are definitely meeting your water goal - be careful and make sure your output is the same - you don't want to "drown" your kidneys.

I was in the hospital this past summer with a really serious illness. The doctor put me on IV fluids as well as I was drinking tons because the air in hospital is so dry. I ended up gaining 45 lbs in 4 days. All water weight. Because I'm big to start with, the doctor told me the scale was wrong - the nurses weren't weighing me properly! He couldn't "see" 45 lbs of water, even when I showed him my new stretch marks. Anyways, long story short - I was drowning my kidneys - they couldn't keep up. I was put on restricted liquids and a water pill, and I ended up losing all the weight in 3 days - after living on the toilet - peeing my brains out!

So really, just be careful that you are getting enough output.

Today was super great for me.
B- 1.5 cups accappella cereal with skim milk
L - 3 cups salad with s/l b/l chicken breast
S- 1 med apple
D- 2 cups f.f chili
E: 1/2 circuit training at Curves :carrot:
W: 6 cups so far

Hope everyone has a fantabulous day tomorrow!

All the best in your success

Hi ladies well, my weigh in is tomorrow and I know I didn't make the 2 pound weight loss. This makes me really sad. This morning was awful I had a pankake , 2 peices of sausage and 2 hash browns. I knew it was bad for me and to tell ya the truth I wasn't even enjoying the food that much. I don't know why I just sat there and ate it. I tell myself everyday to exercise and I don't it's like I have no will power and I'm so weak. What is wrong with me. I truly do want to lose the weight really bad. Thre has gotta be something wrong with me, I mean I am only 19 years old there is no excuse for me to not exercise. Maybe I'm just lazy I duuno. I know that I am a food addict I have to be, because I eat when I'm not even hungy or I can be stuffed to the point that my stomach hurts but I'll keep eating because it tastes good or just feels good to be eating. Somethings gotta change with me.

Awww Shy hang in there and to tell you the truth i do the same thing i always start out strong but sabotage myself sometimes daily you have to remember it's kinnda like AA "one day at a time " i fall off then get back on the next morning, easier said then done ? of course but lets do this together im no where near where i wanted to be by feb 1, but im not giving up i just bought a house (1st one) and it has a pool and i really set my goal to look half way decent in board shorts and top
talk to you later
Michelle

Laura How you doing??

Ok I dunno how this happened but this morning I weighed in and I LOST THE 2 POUNDS!!! I know it could be water weight or any number of things, I'm just so happy that the scale went down for me today. It really is a great motivator to see it go down even just a little. I really feel great. Most of all I love to see that my weight ticker has moved. Anyways I know I have a long long way to go but I wanna be happy for just today. Thanks for all of the support and just taking the time to listen to my let offsteam and a little sadness when I need to. I'll be back later to let you all know how I did today with my eating.
Oh one reason I know I was doing so bad for a while is because I had a lot of bad food in my house and not a whole lot of healthy stuff. We do the grocery shopping every 2 weeks. Well this weekend is grocery shopping time and I know I'm gonna have a hay day in the produce section. No junk food, because if I buy it I know I will eat, I'm not strong enough yet to say no when it right in my face in the comfort of my home. So ladies don't even bring the junk home, leave it in the store. We don't need it and neither does the rest of our family. YEAH IM 150. I'll be seeing the 140's soon.

:carrot: :carrot: DOING THE HAPPY DANCE congrats shy i hope mines as good as yours tomarrow

Ok maybe I'm just imagining this but I don't think any of us are posting as much as we should be. I think it's important to do it so we can all stay on track and support eachother. Anyways I think I'm doing all right I just need to eat more often I think. I usually don't eat breakfast and then eat 1 other thing that might not be so healthy. So Umm I'll try and remember what I had yesterday.

B: some gold fish crackers, lol
L: sauted (spelling?) zuccini in olive oil
D: 1 grilled steak burrito from taco bell
S: before bed I had 2 cupcakes

I know it doesn't sound good but I've done a whole lot worse. I'll try and come back later this evening to let ya'll know how I did today.

Thanks shy for pointing that out i was thinking the same thing
as for yesterday i weighed in and im up 2 again NO CLUE WHY? i eat right exercised did everything the same that i did the week before and gained the 2 lbs that i had lost im really not feeling motivated anymore this suck's royal A** i want to be on track of 2 lbs a week but nope i just cant seem to do it
i dont know what's wrong with me maybe im doomed to be fat the rest of my life
sigh i'll check in later
hugs
michelle

hey, i was wondering if its too late for me to join. i would like to join until i get to my goal weight of 124. my first goal is to be under 150 by april 4th, my bday. then i would like to be 124 by summer. i want to be able to be in a bikini next to my sister in law and feel good about myself. i want to be able to go out with friends and not think that everyone in the room is seeing me as the fat friend. i want to walk into a room and know everyone is looking at me cause i am sexy rather than a fat cow. thats what i would really like.

i'll be back in tomorrow. :)

Welcome prtty it's not to late

Hi and welcom pretty, its not too late at all.
Sorry guys I know I havn't logged in here in a couple of days. I had an awful weekend a lot of fighting with the ol' man and a lot of eating really bad things, so I really didn't feel like posting all of the crap I was eating. I do want to get back on track though. I know I won't make the 2 pound loss by this Thursday but oh well I did it to myself. Sorry Michelle, it sounds like you're having a kind of hard time too. Anyways hopw to hear from you all soon.

checking in so is aunt flo i feel her creeping around the corner BUT i dont want to eat crappy while she's visiting so im gonna TRY to resit temptation LOL notice i said try
Pretty~Laura where are you guys
Thanks shy i know im trying too

Ok ladies I'm going through a whole lot right now. I just found out I have PID and I more than likely won't be able to conceive anymore children. I have 1 and we were trying for another. As I am sure you will understand, dieting isn't something I am worrying about right now, but I will try and check in when I can. Good luck to you all and keep up the good work. You guys are awsome.
