Thanks for the encouragement everyone, feeling inspired by people hitting or heading closer to the big goal!

I had a nasty fall off my bike this evening and have bruised my ribs and have a nice purple leg coming out. My cat keeps climbing on my leg and it is sore sore sore. Can safely say there will be no workout tomorrow morning, so will have to be extra disciplined this weekend. I love cycling to work - very very glad I wear a helmet though!

good morning everyone :)

I did the Mark Lauren video last night, the strength workout. It's hard, but I was able to modify the exercises I couldn't do. I'll keep at it and soon I will though ;) What I really liked about it was that he starts breathing hard during the exercises and is sweating and takes water breaks - whereas most other videos the girls always look perfect and happy and fly through everything. So that was nice. I want to run today, so I hope it stops raining at some point.


kelijpa well done getting your water in! I have no idea how much 64oz are but I'll just assume it's good!! ;) also, nice drop!

wannaskipandlaugh glad to see you lost the French fries weight so quickly :)

boatingmommy I think not gaining is always a win ;)

Turtle11 6 months are a long time -- awesome dedication! Hope you'll get your woosh :)

gardenerjoy hope the scale will be kind to you!

Jacqui_D great staying at goal! and it's only the 21st. You rock!
Yeah, unfortunately there is the good, fun kind of library and the bad, serious one at school. Well, it helps me put my butt down and stay focused for longer, so that's why I go. Don't enjoy it too much though :p
also: :belly:

Woodstock keep at it!!

darius awesome to hear you had a loss! well done :)

Minneey sorry to hear about your accident!! Hope you're not in too much pain.

It's Friday already!! woohoo! Have a nice day :D

You're so smart to wear a helmet. I remember a story in the paper maybe 20 years ago in Virginia Beach VA - where I used to live - a woman was riding her bike without a helmet in her neighborhood - a pickup truck tapped her, and she went down. Not a hard hit, just knocked her over. She hit her head on the curb and died right there on the spot. What a tragedy. I wouldn't pedal 10 feet without a helmet. It won't save us in every eventuality, but it will help in cases like that.

I'm back up a half-lb. The salted pumpkins seeds I snacked on last night may have contributed! :T Water, water, water today! :cheers:

Don't know how I posted a loss...I had baked chicken with a healthy dose of Sam Adams winter lager last night. I'll take it though!!!
Minneey - Glad you are okay! Give yourself a little time to heal...hope you are feeling back up to a ride soon. Cats definitely don't care if you are hurt or sick...they just love a warm lap to snuggle in.
Kelijpa - Whoopie!!! Way to go on making goal!
Turtle - Gotta love that whoosh!
Darius - 5 pounds is pretty awesome!
Rhiko - Remember that you are your worst critic. I am sure what looks bad to you isn't really that bad. The fact that you are running is fabulous! But if you are really worried, try another bra...they make so many now days. Keep up the good work!
To all of you...Happy Friday!!!

Jacque, 183 and Darius - thanks for your kind words - I'm home alone at the moment as my other half is on business in the states. So nice to feel looked after by my online friends! Love this forum.

Well went out for dinner, had a burger and shared a brownie. Didn't weigh myself today and thought it was cruel to weigh in this evening... Would just make me feel rubbish. So going to pay for it tomorrow though! Need some more visits from will power again.

Will attempt some gentle insanity (ha!!) in the morning-swapping my workouts for a recovery session to ease me in.

good morning everyone,

I'm about to head out for a choir weekend. I'm not too happy at the moment, because it steals so much of my time, and because I don't have control over the food served there. So, I'll be going for portion control :) I doubt main meals will be too much of an issue, more the snacking and wine part. But I'll be fine :) And because of my good intentions, I measured an packed my usual breakfast of cereal :) But yeah, should be fun!

I won't be weighing in tomorrow, but I'll be back Monday.
Everybody have a great weekend!!

I too suffer from the same disease! I have had many a friend tell me that they expect smilies in about 80% of my texts to them. It makes them happy and me too! Smile away!! :)

Yesterday was cheat day, and I really am disgusted by the foods I ate. I could have had pasta and fruit and yogurt since I can't have those yummy foods on the other 6 days, but no, I had candy and chips and pie and a fast food sandwich. Even on cheat day, junky food cannot substitute for real meals and real food! I don't know what got into me! Lesson learned. Ugh. I do hope my weight drops some by Thanksgiving :thanks2: which I'm going to be substituting for next Saturday's cheat day. I'd hate to jump back up into the 180's because of the unsatisfying cheat day I had yesterday. For Thanksgiving dinner, I don't might so much, lol, but not for yesterday's fare! :nono:

Kelijpa, that little bit will come right back off! Just keep going! You're doing great! :cp:

Hi Sandyangiollo! :welcome: Under 1000 calories for your height might be a little too low. It will seem fine as you take off the beginning water weight in the first couple of weeks, but as you start burning fat, your body may battle against you because it will think you are starving. You might do better with a range of 1200-1500 calories. (And you'll feel more satisfied too--bonus!) Whichever way you choose to do it, good luck!

Amanda, thanks, lol! Look at you! You are so close to goal! :flow2:

Turtle, I hope you enjoyed the b-day party! :hat:

I'm still here in spite of a night out last night -- same people, same restaurant, as the meal that started my slide a couple of weeks ago. I did better last night. Less wine, anyway, and more motivated to get right back to it this morning. Still not weighing myself, but I have my head in the game!

Minneey 11-24-2013 05:32 PM

DNW today, spent all night up with baby nephew who's just come over from Australia, aged 10 weeks. Lovely to host the family but a jet lagged baby does not make for much sleep!! So in a complete daze today. Hoping tomorrow will be kind to me weight wise.

Haven't been able to exercise much this weekend, still got sore ribs-think they might be cracked but hoping just bad bruising. Seems I can just about manage a slow work out, but alas no push ups for me! Lol!

Good morning you guys,

my choir weekend was fun. I picked my skinniest friend, and then ate exactly what she had (cookies and wine). Didn't tell her about it ;) So yeah, it was good.
I'm sad I won't make goal this month :( And that I won't make my overall goal before Christmas. I've been at this since January, and I wanted to change into maintenance after one year. Instead I've been stuck between the same 3kg since August, and I feel discouraged. Also, I am kinda scared considering I try to eat at a deficit at the moment and maintain, so if I try to maintain, will I be gaining? Uurgh. I'm not being diet happy today ;)
Anyways, my food is planned for the day and I hope to get a run in after lunch :)


soon2beskinnyCarma great to read you're good on exercise :) 0.6lb is a nice loss!! ;)

cincorn AMAZING JOB! :yay: And you're a week early, too. Well done!

Minneey don't worry. Today is a new day to do better. :dust:

kelijpa woohoo, GOAL! Awesome you lost that sodium weight so quickly. great job this month!

Sandyangiollo :welcome2: Great to see you join in :)

SouthernBell02 Well done losing 4lb so far :)

Jacqui_D I'm sure you'll lose that cheat day weight quickly.

gardenerjoy great to read you did better at the dinner this time. Same situation + better choices = awesome.

Have a lovely day everyone!!

183, :hug: I feel for you being stuck at a plateau. I wish I knew the solution. Since I don't, I turned to Google and found a link to Jillian Michael's website about breaking a plateau: http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/l...t-loss-plateau. Maybe it can help!

Kelijpa, "loving myself in spite of that number"--that makes all the difference! The number will drop and your great attitude is what is going to lead to your success! :yes:

Joy, great job staying on track! :carrot:

Minneey, please take care! There's no need to rush back to exercise. You can control your weight with diet and your body needs time to heal! I hope you got a better night's sleep last night! :dz:

Ladies and gents it's been super fun! As of today I weighed in 2.4 pounds under my goal weight of 299 for November! This is the lowest I've been in several years. Everyone has done such a great job and being in this challenge definitely helped in aiding my weight loss!

cincorn 11-25-2013 09:42 AM

187.6 this morning! Joining weight watchers and writing everything I eat down was a good decision. I guess I was eating more than I thought when the scales were stuck. My SW was 194.8....my GW was 189.0. I SMASHED it! I'm a little nervous about Thanksgiving though.

183StGB: I love this strategy "I picked my skinniest friend, and then ate exactly what she had."

cincorn: would you like some help working out a Thanksgiving plan? Tell us what you'll be dealing with and maybe we'll have some ideas.

My Thanksgiving will be one meal at my sister-in-law's house. I'm bringing homemade cranberry-applesauce (no added sugar) and I know that my mother-in-law is bringing a salad. So those are the two things that I'll mostly fill my plate with. I'll have tiny servings of everything else, including dessert, so that I don't feel deprived.

Normally, for our meals out there, I skip all snacks and alcohol. But, my nephew who is in the wine business and knows a lot about cheese, too, will be visiting for the holiday. So, I'm bending my rule and will have a taste of anything that he offers -- although I've finally learned that for cheese-tasting, I need to stick to cheese (no crackers or bread because those are triggering).

Haven't post since 11/4. I got slammed at work this month (still slammed) but for some reason I'm maintaining, instead of gainning, so that's great. Plus, despite my current craving for twix (TOM is this week) and drinking Pepsi to stay awake (my co-workers gave me a mini-intervention), my co-workers have been keeping me a line. We also decided to just eat whatever we want until Jan 15 and then get back to work. I"m going to keep going with my already plans and just eat the junk in moderation. After Jan 15 though, I'll probably start eating clean and really pick up the pace with my workouts.

Been fluctuating between 272 and 274 thoughtout the month.

Joy, reading your post had me salivating for cheese. I am obsessed. I can't have it in the house. I think I may love it more than chocolate. Hopefully your nephew brings some treats and a few nice glasses of vino. Sounds like a good holiday is heading your way!

Watchoutforthatcar - wooooh on reaching this mega goal! You've done amazing :-)

Had a very unexpected visit from the whoosh fairy. Haven't seen her for a proper visit since October. So glad she dropped by. Is really just what I needed at the end of a tough day.

Going to bed a happy weight loss chick tonight.

Yippee!!! I just got my computer back. Major crash over the weekend. So, I have not weighed or posted...I am determined to be here tomorrow morning. I am encouraged by all the positive posts. Everyone is doing great!
Have a great night...or day depending on your logistics!

Good morning you guys,

we had amazing weather yesterday, blue sky for the first time in a week, so running went really well. I'm also excited because my music stopped after a third of the way, but I still kept running. A first for me :)
I had a nice drop this morning :) Hope it sticks, so maybe I can end this month how I started it :)
I'll head to the library just now, and to crossfit later.

Jacqui_D haha, I actually keep thinking about Jillian! I just heard her talk about it on biggest loser a little while back. 'There are no plateaus, just people getting sloppy'. And she's totally right. When I was heavier, I was still losing well despite of almost no exercise and crappy days, now at a lower weight, the body isn't as forgiving. So yeah, I'm definitely working on consistency, and being at school and back at studying definitely helps with discipline. :bubbles:
great to hear you're going back down! :)

Rsadler126 awesome job losing despite of not being able to control your diet! well done :) I hope you got to see a little bit of Europe next to work :)

kelijpa great you're staying on plan!

watchoutforthatcar Well done getting below goal! :congrat:

cincorn awesome job this month! You can be proud! I'm confident you'll make it trough Thanksgiving well :)

gardenerjoy You have a great plan for the wine and cheese tastings! If you stick to only tasting the wine and cheese, you'll be fine! It sounds really delicious though, hope you enjoy it!

mainecyn don't worry, you'll get through this! :)

stilettolife moderation is key. Hope work slows down for you soon! :dizzy:

Minneey nice drop! woohoo!! :carrot:

boatingmommy sorry to read your computer crashed. I'd be majorly stranded without mine. For me it's morning, by the way ;) But thanks :)

-- have a great Tuesday! :D
