No losses for me this week, I checked my weight at the gym. But I still feel good and worked out HARD this weekend. My fiance is shocked with my dedication considering I didn't go to the gym for the first two months of my membership starting - HA! I ate healthy and decided not to 'pig out' just because it's the weekend - as been the norm these days. I am very excited because in three weeks my parents are coming for a week to visit. I cannot wait and it will be extra sweet if I lose some of this weight for the occasion. Anyways, I'm going to watch a movie and play Skip-Bo with my honey!
Skip-Bo what is that? only heard of Tae-Bo keep up the great work Miss P
We're not off to a very nice start this morning dull and drizzly out but thats OK cos i got lots done yesterday ran around at work from 5am to 10.30am then came home and mowed the lawn (if you can call it lawn ) mowed the bank too which is quite a feat cos we let the mower roll over the side on a rope and then drag it up i usually let hubby do that but i decided to have a go and its quite the workout I was'nt as wise as you over the weekend Miss P i did out just "because it was weekend" now i've got to be good today and it would be so much easier if i had'nt gone off the rails
I just wanted to check in and say hi... I wasn't around the computer this weekend so I didn't get to post
Great job staying motivated Miss P! Keep working like this and you will see the loss soon enough...before your parents get here even
Cat - I'm not quite sure what you are saying you did with the lawn mower, but odds are if I did the same thing, I would have broken something...whether it be the lawn mower or me And as far as I know, Skip-Bo is a card game along the line of Uno or something...
I hope y'all had a good Monday! I just got back from the gym so it's off to the shower with me! BTW - I weighed 197.25 at the gym this afternoon!
Jenn you are doing amazing!! WTG Chickie! What are you doing as far as food intake, I know you are busting your butt at the gym but are you doing a no-carb or high-protein - do tell woman. I've been busting my butt at the gym and my results have slowed right down. But you have lost over 20pounds in a short period of time, I need to do what you're doing, HA! Keep up the great work!!
I had a weak workout last night, I was so tired and had such a long day, I only did about 60mins on the cardio circut and burnt 450 calories.
I'm looking for new lunch ideas now that I'm home for lunch - any suggestions?
Question: What is something that have you given up since you've gained the weight you want to loose?
Answer: Something that I loved to do was go swimming and hang out at the beach with no worries. I can't wait until I am able to have the weight off and the self-esteem raised so I can get to that beach and strip down into a cute, sexy and funky swimsuit. As opposed to my shorts and tank. I'm tired of sweating my butt off for the sake of eighty extra pounds!!
Have a great day ladies

I am just going to the gym 5-6 days a week and water aerobics once a week, and counting calories. I have about 1000-1200 a day... sometimes I have trouble getting to 1000
To answer the question, I have always had the extra weight, so I haven't given anything up perse, as much as I have never felt comfortable wearing clothes that weren't baggy or a bathing suit without my shorts over it.
Help! i've fallen off the wagon bigtime i've been eating like a for days even tho' i get up in the morning and say "lets get back to business" i don't really know why either probably boredom as usual.
Jenn, how do you survive when you have trouble getting to 1000? i think i could probably eat that at one meal
Something i've given up after gaining weight definitely wearing sexy clothes i used to wear midriff baring tops when i had a britney spears body don't think i could wear them now when i lose it i think i might look a bit "mutton dressed as lamb" these days
I eat... I swear it! 3 meals a day and 2 snacks. I have a measured serving of cereal in the morning with skim milk, fruit for a snack, yogurt or something for lunch usually with something like Snack'n Cheese, another snack, and whatever I want for dinner usually... I eat a lot of salads though as dinner which makes the 1000 mark hard to hit
See, thats my problem i don't like salads it must be so much easier to do this when you're not a picky eater like me i don't have much willpower either put some hot bread in front of me and i'll eat the loaf smothered in butter
Oh believe me... I am a picky eater! I don't like more stuff than I do like, and I pick most stuff out of a typical salad, but I like to try different kinds of salad... I had Buffalo Chicken Salad the other day and it was sooo good! I also tryied steak tip salad, and I'm a big fan on chicken caesar :YUM: I never had willpower before either, but this time I decided I was going to do this no excuses... including willpower... and I've stayed true to myself! It really helps that I have the best boyfriend ever who is sooo supportive!
BTW, I forgot to mention this earlier.... It is really easy to eat 1000 calories in one meal.... I watch my dear Tim surpass that very easily this Sunday... Mr. "I weigh 165# no matter what" had a footlong meatball sub at Subway with American cheese on it and a regular soda... A 6" meatball sub has 500 calories in it! He's sooo lucky he doesn't have to worry about this stuff!
Tell me about it my hubby is the same can eat all the chocolate, fried food and beer that he wants and does'nt gain an ounce tonight i'll make him a big meal then he'll eat a couple of PACKS of BISCUITS then 3 or 4 banana's later on he'll have a couple of icecream cones
Oh I have the SAME problem! My fiance is 6'6 and barely 200 pounds. He will eat a double order of the a burger combo if we were fast fooding it. At home I have seen him eat a whole slab of ground beef hamburger helper, then finish off a box of cookies afterwards. He is so thin and eats SO much. Why oh why couldn't I have that metabolisim!! Last night I was at the gym, looking around at all the fit bodies and I wondered - how many of these woman have ever been over 30 pounds overweight or more? Have they ever been in my situation, busting their butt, getting frustrated, being hungry and totally sweating buckets to find out they haven't lost an inch? They all looked so perfect in their little Lulumon tanks and low-cut capri yoga pants. Ugh!! Ugh!!
As far as the calorie intake, I take in 1000 - 1200 a day and burn off atleast an average of 600 calories a night at the gym. So I'm LOST!! I guess what works for some doesn't work for others. I wonder though.....I get home about 8pm from the gym and sit down for my dinner at about 8:30pm, I never have carbs at dinner, but MAYBE eating that late is the problem.
Hmmm..... I will have to think of something different. It's hard when I don't get home from work until 6:00pm.
Anyways, keep up the good work ladies!!

Miss P, Tim doesn't get home until about 8:30, so I hardly ever eat before 8:30 PM... One thing I hard recently is that believe it or not, you are SUPPOSED to have carbs 30 minutes to an hour after you exercise, so maybe you should save some of your carbs for dinner... I'm going to look up what I read if I can and post it here for you... Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jenn! That article sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to reading it. it's a gloomy day, I put on my pants that I haven't worn in a few months, no difference and still a little snug in the waist. Needless to say I'm grumpy today.
what is that? only heard of Tae-Bo
