You are more than welcome to join us. We have a great group of people here. Full of encouragement and every now and then we even come up with a few words of wisdom. Don't expect the wisdom to often lol

Thanks Shy Moment!

Here are my stats for today:

Calories- 1314
Fat- 23.1%
Carbs- 45.3 %
Protein- 31.6 %

I also got in 34 grams of fiber. For exercise, I did 45 minutes on the elliptical's high resistance option. Such a good start!

RockNRoll~ Welcome back! Great job on the fiber! Your stats look good.

Grammy/Shy~ I have some family heirlooms as well, but ones that are easier to cart around, my sis has the bigger stuff. I was actually upset with her for awhile because she just took the stuff and we didn't sit down and divide it properly, but now that I'm over it, I think it was for the best since I move so much. We've talked and she said I could have some of it when I wanted it. It's interesting, as time has gone on I've realized that it's just stuff and the memories I have are way more important.

Tinky~ I hope the migraines stay away!

those numbers look great to me. That is about where I like to see mine. You just make sure you are eating all the requite amounts of the four basic food groups and get about an hour exercise a day and you have got it made in the shade I generally see mine about 1259, 22% fat, 50% carbs, 28% protein. If I ate that much fiber I would never go to the bathroom again lol I have to keep mine about 15 a day lol instead of the 25 they say it should be. The dietitian/nutrition list said that was ok.

Hello, well my other lb came off today! I made it to 167!!!! I am 7lbs heavier than when I started my job last march! I am almost there. YIPPY!!!!

Shy- I try to keep the numbers around there so it's good to see that's what you're doing as well! I would do an hour of cardio but I have ankle tendonitis right now and I'm just being careful with the things I can do at the moment.

As for fiber, I used to average 65 grams a day (I was vegan) so eating high fiber has always come easy for me. I eat meat AND dairy now and find myself so much more balanced. It's easy to eat a balanced vegan diet but it sometimes it gets to be a tad overwhelming

Oh, happy Friday everyone!

Hey all..OMG I blew it yesterday (I thought) I just added the rest of what I had yesterday in Fitday. I was thinking all last night...MAN did I eat some serious calories...well I did go over what I want to eat daily, but I was only at 1900 for the entire day! I just had a bad day....but you know it wasnt even TRAGIC! WOOOHOOO. Back on plan today and since that is the first day I went over in like 2 weeks....I AM HAPPY!!!!

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Hope all the lovely ladies here had a wonderful mothers day. Sure glad the weekend is over. Will tell you about it tomorrow.

GOOD MORNING!

Tinky ~ I sure hope you get in front of me so I have someone to chase. Not a banner weekend for anything in life and I blew it on the food, yesterday ended up very depressed about life. DH had a talk with me and said that part of my problem is I am all tensed up about food. He said relax and let the program work, stop obsessing. I am logging, counting, measuring, you name it and I am doing it. I just obsess from the time I get up till I go to bed. He told me to stop it, that is why I am not losing. He more or less said just follow my program and stop all the other none sense. So today, I stopped logging my food and counting calories. It is totally unnecessary with the program I am on, always works out to be between 1200 - 1400 calories a day. I know what to eat, the amount and when so why do all the other things. I didn't even turn the computer on this morning, instead I did my sculpting routine and went for a walk after packing my meals.

Shy ~ I am glad Mothers day is over also. My was a total wash and I ended up depressed and I am glad its all over.

Welcome back Rocknroll.

PrettyPaula ~ Welcome to our group.

Stilltryin ~ I won't even try to guess what mine was for yesterday and saturday. YICKS!

Mothers day was a wash for me and I ended up depressed. My oldest GS is in the terrible 2's and no one can hardly stand my ODD at this point. Well we took everyone to breakfast, Mom, Dad, ODD, YDD and both grand kids. My Dad is a jerk and called my GS a little a**hole making even a bigger scene in the restaurant, my gosh he is a high strung 2 yr old and yes he can be naughty but I have yet to meet a well behaved 2 yr old. Then my Dad and DH started in on ODD about smoking and running poor people down. I just sat there totally appalled and wanted to cry. My Mom was glaring at my Dad with daggers but not saying anything. Just horrible and I told DH never again. Nope why get myself all depressed, its not worth it.

Well I better get going for now and I will check in later.

Grammy: sorry it was such a bad day!!!!!!

Welcome to all our new posters!!!!!

well I have had a tough week. I was stressed, blew my calories, ate at a chinese buffet, ate icecream, ate 200 calorie cookies and was terribly worried about the scale good news...didn't gain anything not sure how that worked but I will take it. I really need to get back on track though!!!!! I will get back on track this week!!!!

Yeah I hear ya Tinky! Yesterday I didnt even have time to count! But I did put everything from yesterday in fitday this morning and I am still under 2000 for the day. I seem to do ok, even when I am not O.P. But I think that I dont eat a lot at one time helps! I just have a little here and there....still not GOOD but again, not tragic!

I am back today with CC and drinking my water! I missed that over the weekend. I was just so busy!

Oh my weekend was wonderful lol. My daughter went to a choir field trip to Kings Island this weekend. That was going to be great. I was going to clean house and pack and head to the zoo for the weekend Saturday morning. Sunday she was going to be home, I was going to be home and we were going to spend mothers day together.

The day started off bad lol, it got worse. First I go to the doc for a weight in because they have recalibrated the scale. The snooty nurse that refers to over weight woman as " the big fat woman " tells me how I better expect to add 5 pounds to what I think I weight because that is how much the scale is off. ( she enjoys talking like this to people trying to lose weight ) Well Wednesday my weigh in was 142 and friday it was 143 and this was after the 5 pound ajustment to the scale so that is great. I really lost more than I thought lol. I can't stand this woman and she is so mean to everyone. Use to really get me down when I first started going in for weigh in's but I am use to her now but darn .

My daughter calls me 3 hours from home. She forgot to take her Dramamine first thing in the morning and is sicker than a dog on the charter buss will I come and get her. Oh my gosh. I get on map quest and figure out where she is. I am going to get about an hour from her right in the middle of rush hour traffic in Columbus, oh nooooooooo. I have no house work done. No packing done. I throw a few things in a bag to take with me just in case she starts to feel better and I can stay down there ( I had ONE sock, a pair of undies that were 2 sizes to big for me, 4 sleeveless shirts ( it rained most of the weekend but at least not on Saturday) No pants, no t shirts, no sleeved shirts lol and remember the ONE sock lol. Anyway, I get about an hour from where the traffic is going to get real bad and she calls me that the meads have kicked in and she is feeling better ( at this point mothers day is going to be the girls funeral day lol ) but will I still come down in case she gets sick again. She has IBS and anything that is upsetting to her can really do her tummy in. Ok, well I am already on my way I might as well keep going. I get about 1/2 hour away and now she is feeling great and can't wait for the rides lol.

Well, this is ok. The house is clean enough I just wanted to run the sweeper and such. I took care of the animals. There are people there to take care of things. I was going to spend the weekend down there anyway just hate to be so unorganized ( at this point I had no idea what I had packed or didn't pack as the case may be ). I get to the peoples house we are going to stay the weekend at. Everyone is sick, I end up having to take care of everyone for the night lol. Hubby is thrilled lol ( oh by the way he took off work ( he works nights ) so I wouldn't have to face the rush hour traffic because I had no real idea where I was going except a map ). I go to get a shower and change clothes and now I find out about the ONE sock lol. The hubby calls his mother ( who we are meeting the next day for the zoo ) and is laughing about the one sock ( she isn't going to have a mothers day either with this kid because his funeral is going to happen at the same time as my daughters ). She takes me shopping Saturday morning and gets me clothes because you can't just wear ONE sock LOL. I am telling her no just get me a pair of socks she is saying forget it kid, you look like a bag lady and you are getting clothes. Happy early birthday and Christmas lol. So she gets me some pants and shirts and under clothes. We are at the zoo with a group of people. Does my hubby and his mother keep quiet NO WAY. I am being called the sock lady all weekend and everyone thinks it is just great fun.
