Good morning shorties

I too don't think I'll hit my turkey day mini goal weight wise, but i do feel a difference in my waist and arms in regards to inches. I do lift a little as well and muscle weighs a lot more than fat so I'll deal with the no weight change as long as I'm getting leaner. a few years ago i had a trainer and he told me once to think of it this way "take a huge bag of cotton and 1 brick, the brick is smaller but ways a lot more cause it's solid" So when I feel down about the weight issue, i think of that.

I think I went over my calories by 100. I had a good dinner, but with TOM coming soon, I got a craving for chocolate so I had a WW mini choco cake before bed. so worth it tho, it was sooooo good lol

I did 45 treadmill and 45 zumba. My zumba class is a riot, my instructor makes the best/funniest faces during the workout, u can't help but laugh and enjoy the time there.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!!!

I´m the same !! Weekends are tough, although I´m not a big fan of routine, I know I need it... yesterday was a holiday here and that didn´t help either, but at least I did do 90 mins of cardio and managed to stay in the 1.300 - 1.500 cal range, above what I usually shoot for (1.000 - 1.200), but still ok...

This weekend I´m going to Amsterdam and I´m really worried about staying on plan, I have to find a way to do it, without giving up too much of the "fun"... Any suggestions ?

Fatpants - Thanks for the advice´. I´ve incorporated sprints into my running schedule, so we´ll see how that goes !

Have a great rest of the week ladies!!

How was your Thursday, shorties?

I'm hangin' in there! In the middle of a WACKY work week (flip flopping between day and night shifts) and trying really hard to stick to eating plan.

So far, so good.

I'm planning on Zumba tonight, but I fear I may be a slug due to lack of sleep. Ugh!

Anyway, weighing in tomorrow morning. Will keep ya posted!

-FPSJ

today has been pretty good! I'm about to move into a new weight decade and I cannot wait!

I feel tired and like taking a break from the gym...if I do I'll give myself a horrid guilt trip though...

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow FPSJ!!!!!!!

Thanks LindsB! I'm staying optimistic.... and hydrating!! I swear, night shifts = bloat. Hoping to flush it out with copious H20.

Glad you're on track, and about to make a transition with your progress... progress is good!

Hey haven't posted in here in awhile. I am still at 174..I've been bouncing between 174.2 and 174.6 and NOT liking it at all. I'm so sick of seeing 174. I'm hoping tomorrow morning maybe it will be 174.0 or 173 but who knows. I did 65 minutes of workout today which I'm pretty proud of. Did 35 minutes of BFBM and 30 minutes of WATP...I'm proud of myself. I'm really trying not to get my hopes up about the scale in the morning but it's so hard not too..if it doesn't budge I guess I'll just work twice as hard tomorrow! Hope everyone is having a good day!

JLNichols - congrats and awesome job on the working out. Try not to get stuck on the number although I know it's hard. Here's hoping the scale moves in the right direction tomorrow!

LindsB - That's exciting that you're about to move into a new weight decade. Keep up the good work.

I lifted weights today. Had the day off today so I was lazy (minus the weight lifting part) which was nice. I'm hoping for a "good" number on the scale tomorrow but I don't think I will have a loss - oh well maybe next week

Have a good night shorties ~~

Hang in there! I haven't seen much scale movement, either.

I'm just having faith that the calorie controlled diet and continuing to be diligent with exercise will eventually cause the pounds to come off

Keep going!

TGIF LADIES!!!

Good thing I worked a little extra hard mon-wed cause yesterday was a bad calorie day, but sorry, but soooo worth it. My boyfriend & I went to the mall walked around for about an hour or so then went to lunch....Buffalo Wild Wings. I got this burger that was soooo worth the calories. 110% honest it was the best burger I've ever had!!! Plus had some Godiva chocolates we got at the mall. So even tho I didnt have a good day calorie wise, it was a good day with my boyfriend wise. We don't do things like that very often.

Today i go back and tonight i'll do a lil extra at the gym.

HAPPY FRIDAY

JL- what in the heck is wrong with us!? I am sick of 150 and you are sick of 174...make these numbers go away!!!!!

Linds--I have no clue! I feel like I've been working my butt off trying to get the pounds to come off. Hopefully this next week the scale will get to moving more for the both of us!

Hi shorties!

Saw a small change this week on the scale, which is encouraging... hang in there!

I've been strategizing on how to come up with bulky "fill me up" foods that are low on calories.... will report back with results.

Hope you are having a healthy & relaxing Sunday

Hello everyone!
Newbie here and a shortie
I'm working hard to reach 145lbs (mini goal) and then working my way down to at least 115lbs. It's a struggle especially when I've been 160lbs+++ since graduating from Uni (2003).
I hope I am welcome here and can contribute something useful to the thread. You are all my inspiration!!!

Of course, everyone is welcome here!

Wishing you all the best

*hugs FatPantsSkinnyJeans*

Thank you!

Good luck to us for the new week ahead!! I'll be wearing a bikini next weekend so I must work hard!
