Hi,

I just got back from a 30 bike ride at the work gym. It felt good to get moving again, even it was for a lot less than I'm used to and at a lower intensity but at least I'm moving and I feel like I will be ok do it again tomorrow.

Here's how the food is shaping up so far:

B-1 cheerio ceral bar, grapes, water

L-side salad w/ dressing, 1 bread stick, 2 cc cookies (they were small), 1 apple, water.

Snack- what is planned is a bannana and some peanuts

D= what is planed is steak (my piece will be no bigger than a playing card), baked potato w/ ranch dressing, carrots, water

I hope everyone is having an on plan day!

You guys! I am just so upset today. How can a person gain 5 pound in a week? It can't be fat, so why is it still here? It is just not going away. I just want to either dive into a bag of chips or never eat again. Netither one is a good option. I walked and jogged 4 miles yesterday. Today we did BL Power Sculpt and I did a quick mile, mostly jogging. I have been right around 1400 calories for days. I don't know what else to do.

B- Cereal and milk 200 cal.
S- 100 cal. yogurt
L- Lean cuisine panini 350 cal. cookies 100 calorie pack
S- granola bar 90
D- not sure yet.

And now it's raining too. So more gloom and doom. AAHH!! Sorry for the rant.

Susie- Keep it going. Looking up those calories can be a real eye opener. Did you chenk out the toaster strudel. I love them but haven't had one since January.

Ward- Our gas has gone down about .60 cents a gal. It sucks that you are having a shortage. Hope you get it worked out by Wed.

Kelly- Who's doing the flat belly diet?

Mindy-
Cheryl is doing the Flat Belly diet. She eats sunflower seeds and those pecan almond nut clusters that are soooooo good.

I am looking at the side of my screen and seeing an ad for wu yi oolong tea. Maybe I'll try that wu long slimming tea again. Micque seemed to think that was worthwhile.

B- Honey Bunches of Oats cereal - 170
Yogurt - 100
S- 3 strawberries and a granola bar - 100
L- Frozen meal: Mac & Cheese - 310
Sugar free Jello - 10
S - Ritz snack mix 100 calorie pack - 100
D - Cheese tortellini w/ pasta sauce - 350
Cottage cheese - 120

That puts me at 1260 for the day, so I'll probably have a snack later to get up to 1400. Maybe some 100 calorie pack popcorn, or maybe some nuts and seeds. After all, a flat belly can't hurt......

Hi,

I can't believe it's the 1st of October already. You know what that means to me? I need to get BUSY so that I can have a good loss at the end of this year.

I did a 30 min walk last night. That's 2 days in a row back to working out. Not my usual workouts but I'm building back up to them and at least I'm moving.

Here's the food for yesterday. Today I will start looking up calories as well to go with my post.

B= 1 breakfast bar, grapes, water
L= roasted veggie sand. fruit salad, water
Snack=peanuts and 1 bannana
D=fried egg sandwhich, cole slaw
Snack=1 cup of frozen yogert

Susie- Food doesn't look too bad with what you have listed. Looking up those calories can be surprising sometimes. Keep it up. You're on the right track.

We did Jillian's Shred DVD tonight. It is a good a** whooping. I have lost about 3 of the 5 pounds I gained. I know my body is strange, but it still gets depressing. Hoping for some more gone tom.

Oh, yeah, Shred is a serious a** whooping! My legs are toast tonight! I followed up Shred with a super fun 49 degree soccer game. (Unfortunately my daughter's team lost 5-4 Oh well.) At least my legs were frozen so I couldn't feel how achy they were. I am down 3-1/2 pounds from last Friday. I hope to keep that off and maybe lose a little more by this Friday.

Food for the day (Bad, Bad, Dinner)

B - Raisin Bran - 230, applesauce - 50
S - nectarine - 62
L - Frozen meal - 310, sugar free jello - 10
D - Fazoli's Baked spaghetti, one breadstick - 850
S - Hot Chocolate for the Soccer game - 150

Went over my calories today (1662) (Goal=1400). Oh well. Back on tomorrow.

Yeppers. My legs are feeling it today, especially since we did BL 1&2 tonight. I too am hoping for some more pounds off by Friday's weigh-in. I am afraid I am having a bad dinner tonight though, pizza. I'll keep it under control Hey, it's better than the half dozen donuts I'd like to have. I am experiencing a little stress eating today. Tough day at school with rude children.

So here's how the day stacks up.

B- cereal and milk 180
S- nectarine 75
L frozen meal 300
S- rice cakes 90 chex mix 130
D- pizza I am guessing 350

Total= 1125? Hey maybe room for popcorn later.

Susie- Are you going to weigh-in tonight. If you are I hope it is good news.

Wonder how Wardhog is on vacation.

Oh yeah, my legs are trashed. I am wondering how I am going to get back up the stairs after writing this post. Biggest Loser Cardio 1 and 2 is definitely a butt kicker. My quads are feeling it for sure!

B - Multi Grain Cheerios & applesauce=200
S - nectarine=65
L - Frozen meal: sweet & sour chicken and Jello=310
S - Granola bar=90
D - Applebees Parmesan Tilapia W/ steamed veggies= No idea

(Nothing on the Weight Watchers menu looked good tonight.) Oh yeah, I almost forgot I had a small piece of my daughter's quesadilla. And I expect to lose weight how?

Hi,

I had my weigh-in last night. I didn't go last week because I was feeling so rotten from my cold. I am happy to report that I didn't gain. I didn't loose but I didn't gain.

I'm trying to remember what all I ate yesterday since I didn't write it down---bad, bad, bad I did buy a small notebook so I can carry it with me and write it down right then until waiting until the end of the day.

So far today I have had:

B= Protein bar-200 calories,
grapes=110

I don't know what I am going to have for lunch

Hi,

I wanted to check in early due to the fact that I'm about to start cleaning my house and then packing for my trip tomorrow.

I will be in San Antonio until Wed. I'm taking my laptop and I hope to be able to post at least once while I'm there. The conference is going to keep me busy. I've never been to San Antonio before and I"m excited. I keep hearing about the Riverwalk. My hotel is right on it so I'm going to take my walking shoes and make sure I get up and down it a couple of times. My hubby says to leave my wallet in the hotel room! I hear there is all kinds of shopping on the Riverwalk. I also plan to see The Alamo.

I did pretty well with my food yesterday and I'm happy with myself for looking the calories up!

B=1 protein bar,grapes (310 calories)

L=Grilled roasted rell bell peppers and portabella sand. pickle slice (300 calories)

D=1/2 Buddie Boy sand., 1/2 order of onion rings, 1 order of cole slaw. (759 calories)

I only had water to drink all day so no calories there.

I did have a Snickers bar (209) between Lunch and Dinner. We went to a high school game and I didn't have dinner until after it was over, at the game I was hungry and I had a Snickers.

Total calories for yesterday=1578

My doctor said to keep my calories between 1500-1700 and work on losing 10% of my current weight and when I do that to take my calories down 200-300 for the next 10%. So that's my focus and my new goal.

I'll talk to you all in a couple of days.

Susie- You are getting so on track. Good job looking up those calories. I am always surprised sometimes. A friend at work is always eating these nut cluster things. Yummy!! I found them today and they are 170 calories for 5. Way too much for me. Good goals.

I did a 4 mile walk/jog today. Made ghoulash for dinner. I have no idea how many calories. Well I didn't have much else, so I'm sure I'll be okay.

Hey y'all. I am back from my little vacation. It sounds like everyone is doing a good job staying on plan and exercising.

I worked out Wed. before we left, Thurs. a little cardio, Fri. some weights, and Sat. a walk. No workout yesterday. I ate poorly for the whole week. Guess how much weight I gained. Really, give it a shot. Did you guess twelve pounds? Yup, twelve. I hope it will come off quickly, but I guess we'll see.

Today I didn't have a whole lot of energy, but I went to the gym and did Group Power plus 45 min. of cardio. Eating is on plan so far.

See you tomorrow.

I, the DD, decided that the carrot should go first.

Wardhog- Glad to see you are back. Did you have a great time? How in the world did you gain 12 pounds? You know that won't stick around. You will get rid of it quickly.

I am on track and staying about the same. TOM is around the corner, so maintaining would be good.

See ya later.

Hey guys. I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I was only gone 5 days, but I was pooped on Monday. I have felt a little more energy coming back each day.

Yesterday I did Group Ride and 45 min of cardio. Today it was Group Power and 52 min. Eating has been on plan. Five pounds are gone so far and I am hoping that the rest come off at least before Thanksgiving.

I hope everyone is doing well - I'll see you tomorrow!

Good morning! Today I did 52 min of cardio, plus Group Ride. Eating is on plan. I hope to see a couple more pounds gone in the morning, but whatever it says I will update my profile.

See you tomorrow.
