LADIES! It's Friday! Hooray.

Tricia--so good to have you back! That is AMAZING about the size 10 pants! I am still in a good 12. My problem is that virtually ALL of my weight is around my stomach. I can fit easily into size 10 legs, but can't button them

! When I get pregnant again I would bet that I could fit in size 8-10 pregnancy pants. Great job keeping it up while you were on vacation. I see that you got into the 150's!! Hooray. I can't wait until I hit 159. Every new set is so exciting. I actually gained a pound last week, but I am trying to not stress out about it too much.

Shawn! You are kicking butt this week. Great job staying around 1500. You are going to look so sexy!

Kim--That is so cool that your doctor has everything laid out for you! I love it. That is also neat that you get three days off.

Alice--no fear! Jump back on the bandwagon...we're not moving too quickly!

Kellie-good job the last few days! I am so proud of us all. We are really trying to get back in the game after a bad week.

Well...I ended the day at 1221 yesterday (27%fat). That is good. I exercised too, but it wasn't very intense. I didn't really feel like exercising at all so I just walked instead of running. I also only went for 45 minutes instead of 60-90. I can tell that my shirts are starting to fit better, though. I am getting more of a waist!

I know what you ladies mean about feeling fat when you weren't! I was a very athletic person. I played basketball (even though I'm only 5'2) through high school. I can remember being weighed during my senior year at the doctor and I was 117. I was MORTIFIED! When I was a sophomore I was around 105 and I knew that I needed to lose that weight. I never really tried, though. When I was in college I hit 120 and was mortified again, lol. And then, when I went to my first doctor's visit when I was pregnant with my first, I weighed 130. I almost died! Now I would LOVE to be 130 again, lol. Even now...when I feel fat...I know that a few months ago (at 193) I would have LOVED to be where I am now (164). I need to stop thinking about how much weight I have to lose and enjoy where I am now. Does that make any sense?

Anyway...Happy Friday! My sweetheart and I are going out on a date. We're going to go to dinner and a movie. Any good suggestions for movies?

Hitch was cute, and Sahara was suprisingly good - I'm sure your DH will like Sahara better. It's a guy flick, but has good comic relief in it. I give it two thumbs up! Plus, you get to look at Matthew McCoughnaheyheyhey!

well, I didn't do so good tonight; did good up until I went to Nat'l Scrapbook day tonight; when I got there, I'd had 1300 cals or so...... then, i had a small piece of chkn pizza & 2 small (1 inch) brownies with frosting & nuts....... so I'm estimating I ended the day around 2000 cals..... grrrrrrr..........

tomorrow's a new day!

kclay61 · 04-30-2005, 01:14 AM

For Friday I had a total of 600 calories - and again I did not eat everything I was supposed to - when I'm on the go I forget to eat

aliceshellique · 04-30-2005, 10:49 AM

I am so ashamed. That is all I can say. Today is a new day. I weighed in the other night at work (for my birthday and was very disappointed), and the scales said that I gained about eight pounds. THat could not be right! Needless to say, I did have a lot of waste in my body that was all gone by Friday, so I should have weighed in last night to see what was really going on. My coworker bought me chinese for my birthday yesterday, but I did drink water all night to try to counter attack all the chinese food that I had. The cake is gone too, so I won't even be tempted to have any.
I am sad. But I must persevere.

shyla2001 · 05-01-2005, 09:20 PM

birthdays are hard Alice! you enjoyed it, but alas, it's time to get serious now. Take a deep breath, and let it go -- let it ALL GO (the guilt about it, too!).

you can do good M-Tues, and we'll see what the scales say on Wed a.m.

aliceshellique · 05-02-2005, 07:53 AM

Thanks Shawn for the encouragement. Today is a new week, my birthday is behind me now. I have to see if I can find a scale on Wednesday. I have a dentist appointment too, so I know that will make me more conscious of what I eat too.

kclay61 · 05-02-2005, 08:09 AM

Drum roll please.....................gone are 3.5lbs.........let's hope we don't see those coming back anytime soon.

KellieB · 05-02-2005, 10:27 AM

Congrats Kim! That is great!

My weekend was pretty good. I stayed under 1500 calories, so not too bad! It was cold and windy here again. It is suppose to get in the 70's again this week. I hope it does.

Alice ~ Don't worry about the scale. Last Wed. mine said I had gained 6 lbs. But, when I stepped on it again on Sat. it was back down to what I was the Wed. before. Crazy thing!

Good morning, good morning!
I didn't want to hunt down the other thread so I just decided to post here instead, lol. Lazy, I know. Anyway, I did okay over the weekend. I was within my calorie goals, but I didn't exercise. I haven't exercised since Thursday, in fact. So...that is my goal today. EXERCISE! I am not planning on doing an intense exercise session but I need to get something in.

Kellie--isn't that funny about scales? I had gained a pound last week. However, I cheated and weighed myself this morning and I am now down three pounds since last week. HOORAY! I have hit my 10 pound weight loss goal and my Mother's Day goal! Hip-hip-hooray! I have now officially lost 30 pounds. I have decided that I retain water weight during ovulation. I know I was ovulating last week during weigh in time. The same thing happened to me last month...I just didn't put it together with ovulation. So, it looks like for me that I retain weight during both my period and during ovulation. Sigh. A woman's body is so weird.

Alice--every day is a new day! You can always start again. That is the great thing about life.

How is everyone else doing today? I haven't had anything yet, so I've got to go eat!

Lori

P.S. My husband and I had a GREAT time on our date. We went to Johnny Carinos for dinner and then we went to see Fever Pitch. It was pretty cute. I love going out without the kids!

shyla2001 · 05-02-2005, 05:42 PM

I am here! Did really good yesterday & so far today! Today at 4:45pm I'm at 830 cals -- and yesterday I ended at 1521 cals.....

ladies - I really feel deprived, though. I keep telling my DH, "it's amazing how LITTLE food I'm supposed to eat!". But I guess, really, if I'm eating the "right foods" it's not that little of an amount after all.............. those carbs will do you in every time, won't they??

KellieB · 05-04-2005, 08:42 AM

OK ladies....how did we all do this week? I stayed under 1600 calories all week. Over the weekend it was a little hard, but I made a conscious effort to do so. I hope all of you are doing well!!

Shawn ~ I hear you about feeling deprived. There are some days that I want to lick every last morsel of food!!

Although, it seems to be getting better. I am conscious of what I am eating now and the amounts.

Lori ~ Glad to hear you and dh had a good time. I can not remember the last time we were out together, alone! Most of that is me, I don't trust to many people with the girls. We don't have family near by so it is hard.

Alice ~ How are you doing? I hope things are going well for you!!
Have a wonderful day everyone!!

kclay61 · 05-04-2005, 01:53 PM

So far, this week, I have stayed under 1500, woohoo. I've been having urdges, and I gave into them last night. I was about to die for a bowl of cereal. I ate it but the love wasn't there anymore - YEAH! Just had to give in and I'm glad I did now.
