Where are you peeps?

Cmyhc01, I'm in exactly your boat. I go to school a couple of days a week after work and I feel like I'm either at class or preparing for it. The workouts are helping me cope, but it takes a lot of effort to get them in. I feel like my whole day is a non-stop rush to get it all done. It's funny though, I feel better now than I did when I was just a slug and didn't even have class.

so we had a good time on our trip now getting ready for husbands surgery in the morning...need to be up at 6 n its already midnight....it will be a long day sooo I need to get to sleep! catch up with everyone later this week!

Hi everyone :wave:

Hope you are all doing good.

Not much new here. Thankfully it feels like spring may be here. Its been above freezing most days and today the sun is shining, definitely feels like spring. I've been going to a Panic and Anxiety group and its been interesting. Decided I wish I could take my one daughter with me as yesterday she and her bf wanted to order in Chinese food. It took her two hours of sitting in front of the phone before she could actually gather up the nerve to make the call. I feel so bad for her as she is doing so many things that I do or have done and I don't want her restricting herself like I've done to myself. Other than that things are just going along. I get to go down March 21st for my sleep study on the 22nd. My mom has agreed to go with me, so that will be fun. And next week is spring break, so my youngest gets the week off. Too bad my other two girls are working, it won't feel like a break. Oh well.
I'm still not exercising, but at least I've stopped the binging. One step at a time.

Well take care all :grouphug:

Hi everyone : ) I'm new here, so just thought I'd say hello. Not sure what else to say other than that.

Welcome Scarlett. This is a great and supportive little corner. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi everyone... thanks for the support cmyhc (and everyone else of course). Sorry I haven't been around, I got sick then got better then got sick again. So the c25k plan has kind of taken a nose dive. Hope I can start up again soon.

Hi back Scarlett.

Mom - Hope your hubby's surgery goes well. I'll think good thoughts for you guys.

Okay, ladies....I've hit a rough patch. My positive attitude from Monday has somehow slipped away over the last few days.

I don't remember if I mentioned this but I'm currently doing a medically-supervised protein sparing modified fast. Basically I'm supposed to eat 14-16 oz of lean protein a day, and I'm allowed 6oz of lettuce a day. I'm halfway through week 7 and I've lost 38 pounds, which is fantastic. No complaints there. But the weight loss has definitely slowed--we're supposed to lose 2% body weight a week, so for me about 5 pounds a week. Lately it's only been 1-2 pounds/week. Granted, this is a normal, healthy rate of weight loss, but my diet is so restrictive so I'm pretty frustrated. I could do WW and lose the same amount of weight.

My class finals are next Wednesday, so I'm hoping that having more free time and not getting home late a couple of nights a week will help matters. I'm planning on giving myself a few days to relax and then starting up a legitimate work-out routine.

In the meantime, I'm DYING for "real" food. I want a sub or a plate of pasta with sauce or a huge bowl of broccoli cheddar soup.

I'm giving myself two more weeks, then I have a meeting with my doctor and if things haven't turned around I'm going to have to transition to another program. I'm so tired (800 calories a day will do that) and getting discouraged each day. I knew I wasn't going to drop 144 pounds in just a couple of months but I had really high hopes that I would get at least halfway there before I hit a plateau.

Bah...I need a nap. :)

Hello everyone - I am hanging in there, doing my usual 'keeping up appearances' for work and DH, but spending almost all of my 2 days off in bed. How crazy (uh oh, bad word, lol) is it that I get up, have coffee with DH, work out, then go back to bed for like 5 more hours on my days off.

But I am up now (noon, sheesh) and feel that I can stay out of that darn bed for the rest of the day.

Momof4, I'm sorry but what is your husband's surgery for? Best wishes!!!

:hug: to everyone.

Quick hello and sorry to hear that so many are struggling. Big :hug:

See us on the March thread :)
