Diana-Hi!! Glad to see you are still working your program nice job

Swimgirl-lol I cant keep up with these ladies either !

Angie- you go girl! You are really working your program 205 is awesome!

Cutie- nice WOOSH!

Fitgirly, Gale, Vixsin, Ona, Jamiesue- HOwdy!!!!! I hope all is well everyone is doing a great job thanks for the motivation

Up 1.2 lbs to 147.4 for no apparent reason. Grrr.

Sandi changed the thread title for us! YAY. Now I just hope I got it right...

i can exercise again ya'll!!

okay, i'm limited to things like biking where i don't put my weight on my ankle, but hey... it's better than "keep your booty flat and don't MOVE"

so i got this guy, for 26 bucks (after tax) at walmart:



i imagine it would burn roughly the same (maybe a bit lower) calories as biking depending on how hard i push... YAY! I CAN EXERCISE AGAIN!

I've realized daily weigh ins aren't for me (thrilled that it works for y'all though!!!) but I just had to say I'm loving the title...just watched that again last night. One of my faves!

oh. forgot my weigh in today... 251.8 (again) down .2 from yesterday.

now that TOM showed up, and i've got my new sorta-bike hopefully i can see the scale start moving down again. *fingers crossed!*

Jami -- great job with the thread title!! Sweeet!

Mandi -- congrats on the .2 loss and especially on the "sorta-bike". I love that you are so excited to be able to exercise again!! Your enthusiasm is catching

DH and I have to go out to dinner to talk, we live with my older brother so there's no other way to have a semi-private conversation We've been in this position for over 2 years now...and it's definitely contributed to our sizes - lol. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother and so grateful that we have a place to stay relatively rent free while we're back in school...but it's hard that in order to have a discussion over dinner we have to go out :/

I would like for the TOM to come and go already...geezz...

1: 311.4
2: 311.8 (+0.4)

Matilda --

Jeri - Hope Rennie's right and it's just (that's our new smiley for sodium since it's such a joker)

Mandy -- That's a sweet lil' machine you've got there and see on MFP that you've jumped right back on the horse...or bike. Thank goodness you finally got clearance - even if only partial clearance. I bet the scale reacts quickly!

Seven -- Awww man...we're gonna miss you! I'll still keep in touch on the various decade threads though.

Future -- Oh, I see now why you have to go out. Very cool that you've got someplace to stay and save up while you both attend school but I know you must be eager to get your own space again.

Allison -- Shoo TOM! Don't bother my friend Allison anymore! There...he should come and go quickly now.

Rennie -- Ya on the .6! My husband has been eating greek yogurt religiously for breakfast. He HATED it at first but said he used to it now and actually likes it. I also read on hungry girl that she suggests had a bit of your favorite Crystal Light does seem a bit high. But when I put that activity in for me at my weight - its says 1760! Holy smokes! I entered it on another website I use (http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc) and, at your weight, it said 1400! And at another website I use (http://www.acaloriecalculator.com/ca...ed-calculator/), at your weight it said 1204. So it seems accurate, probably just want to be sure you don't eat them...just in case.

Kukkie -- Awesome whoosh!

Diana -- Thanks!

LGW

Roxy -- Good job on the .6 today! I love low carb tortillas too..the ones I use are just 60 calories, so they don't take up all the room in my calorie budget that normal breads do.

Gale Good to see you

ilbnej -- Good to see you as well, the calculator for Chick-fil-a sounds great. I do try to look up the calories for restaurants if I know in advance that I'm going, it's really hard to wing it. I would have thought the coldslaw was a better choice too.

Vixsin -- Good job on your whoosh today! I love yogurt dressing too...the brand I find here is called Boathouse, and i have the Thousand Island one...it's fantastic on a homemade burger (which I pretend is a big mac).

Ona -- You'll burn lots with all your running around anyway. Thanks, I do feel like I'm on a roll, it seems a little too good to be true some days.

Jami -- Congratulations on your 1.3 today...hey, it's only the 2nd of the month and your down a pound already!

Matilda -- Thank you Hope your day was good.

Jeri -- Sorry for your gain.

Mandy -- Congrats on your .2 -- the bike thingy looks cool

FutureThoughts -- HOpe you and DH had a nice chat.

Allison -- Sorry TOM is messing with you!

Rennie -- Thanks for the cute little woohoo guys today..here's one for you Congrats on your .8 today. I wonder if there is such a thing as Splenda Frosted Flakes???? lol. I think the house cleaning is a good workout, but I checked my Loseit app to give you a comparison and it gives a different number, I put in 340 min of house cleaning and it says 1100 calories. That's a lot of cleaning!

Cameron and I spent the day at the amusement park again. I just enjoyed rather than pacing this time. I'm proud of both of us for trying some rides we wouldn't do on previous visits -- I went on a spinny ride with him, he went on a little roller coaster with me. I did well for eating too...I planned on sharing a turkey leg (protein) with Cam, but they were out when we went to get one. I had chicken souvlaki instead, and it was pretty small. Other than that I only had a small soft serve vanilla ice cream. I'm still sitting at around 1100 calories for the day. We also walked quite a bit, I didn't keep track this time, but normally when we are there it's around 7-10 km. I hopped on the scale when we got home and I was still hovering just over 205 so I'm hoping for great things in the morning.

I'm afraid to talk about ONEderland, but here goes...I wanted to celebrate somehow when I get there, and I was thinking about either buying myself a special charm for my Pandora bracelet, or getting a fabulous new haircut/colour. What do you guys think? Here is the hairstyle I'm liking...I love this colour too, but I'm not sure how it will look on me.

Sandi -- Thanks for changing our thread name!!

love2b: 0.4 was my friend today as well, hang in there

Jamisue: great weight loss so far

Future: I have modified my favorite dishes at m favorite places to eat...just substitute the mashed potatoes for spinach, brocolli or asparagus and you will feel so much better

konfyoozed: fingers crossed...I had a bike like that years ago and it came with a CD simulator that had outdoor scenery - like you were actually riding on a path

Matilda: you can do it, I have vowed to NEVER see certain numbers again in order to make my weight loss effective this time around - the LAST time around --I am 217-218 and I refuse to see 220 EVER again

eclipse: hang in there...as long as its a downward trend overall....

Vixsin: great whoosh!

Ona: it's the big purplish bulb that was my first time having turnips...I had to ask someone in the grocery store to point them out
