ME!!! I'm posting first!!! HAHA!! I beat you all!!!HAHA!!! SO??What's up??

I am starving today! Well, maybe not starving, but I definately have a huge case of munchies. I am trying to spread out 100cal mini-meals throughout the day. That usually helps on these days...

lmao wendy!!!!

hi melissa!

sup wendy? whatcha doin?

Dump the plump
 

:wave: Greetings, am I in the right place to dump the plump? Had my first ww meeting today and I'm highly motivated right now.:carrot: :ebike:
Lori

Yep!! You got the right place!!! Welcome to the group Nighthawk!!

Heres a few tips:
5-6 small meals per day
2 shorter workouts per day
eat breakfast
exercise in the morning
drink green tea
drink 0.55 times your body weight in water daily

drink 32oz. of cold water on a empty stomach,don't eat breakfast for 30 mins. This will force your body to raise it's core temp,thereby stimulating your metabolism and excreating any excess water.

Hope some of this helps all of you!

welcome hawk!

What is "Dump Your Plump" and how do you play?

hiya eddie!(whoops! did i make a boo boo? i already had you acounted for)

its just a game i made up to gain support, and encouragement on our journeys to lose wt. ppl earn points each day for positive behavior changes and then each week the person w the most points gets recognition on its own thread and is encouraged to splurge on a small personal reward:)

Hello Ladies :wave:

Well today is day #2 for me and I can't wait for tomorrow to come so we can start dump the plump, I am really pumped :strong:

I think my biggest challenge will be the exercise, I have four kids ages 7, 5, 3 and 1. I homeschool the two older ones. Between the homeschooling, running after the two youngest, trying (but usually failing) to keep up with the housework, and getting up usually 5 times a night with 1 year old (every night :eek: ) he is a horrible sleeper, I am exhausted and just can't seem to fit it in :cry:

Tomorrow I will do my best though to try and find sometime to get it in. I did an exercise ticker with a goal to obtain and I want to do my best to meet it.

Anyway ladies I look forward to supporting and getting support from you as we all dump the plump.

Monica

:hyper: Good morning ladies, I am pumped about tomorrow too!! I really needed something to get me motivated again and I think this is going to do the trick!! I am a sore loser and like to win so you all have some fierce compitition!!!!!!!And the more I cheer you on the more I'm going to want to do too!!:D well off to feed the little guy,catch ya all later:crazy:

Frustrated...
 

I have averaged 12oo cals the last week, but my stupid cheap scales aren't moving! Think I will lay off my popcorn tonight (it causes me to retain water). I need to buy better scales, though. These are awful! If I lean at all, have them in the wrong place on the floor, etc, they will vary up to 10#:?:

I'm very disappointed today! Today was the first weigh in for me since I started and I was down just 8 lbs. Now I know thats alot...but for 3 weeks for me, and just the start not really. I've busted my butt this past 3 weeks eating 1400 calories and exercising 1.5 to 2 hours a day. yes, I also lost 6.5 inches overall, I suppose I should stop feeling sorry for myself. But, you know how you expect a really big loss right in the beginning to keep you all pumped up, its hard not to get that. Well, I'm not giving up! Just means I gotta work extra hard! Classes start for me tomorrow (I'm a fulltime student as well as a mom). I can do this!! Its just not going to be as easy as last time apparently! LOL! Thanks for listening to my pity party!

today is a planned "off" day for me due to a little football party...GO BRONCOS!!! But then its right back at it with full force! I'm going to Disneyworld in June I've gotta get these extra pounds off!! The last theme park we went to, I tried to go on a ride with my little one and I had to get off because they couldnt close the safty rail, that will NOT happen this time!!!

Okay...venting is over! I can do this!! I WILL do this!! Have a wonderful sunday everyone!

~melissa

Hi Jaynee!! Hey you just found the perfect excuse to go to the mall!! You really do need to get a great new scale,especially if you plan on joining in on the game!! I know you will do great!
Mellisa, 8lbs that's fantastic!!!! I always think it is better to lose weight at a slower rate,that way it won't jump back on your arse when you arn't looking:D
Diane, where are you darlin'???? I guess you went grocery shopping to pick up all those nice healthy foods !!! I think we should all go and do that today,I mean whose going to have time during the week when your doing all that exercising!!!
Lunch time!

Hi my fellow losers :dancer:

Melissa :bravo: 8 pounds is fantastic. I think everyone who diets would like to loose 5 pounds a week however they say 2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss. And you even lost more than that. You should be soooooo proud of yourself. Enjoy your football party, my BIL would love you as Denver is his favourite team. I however am Green Bay all the way!!!!! Tomorrow's our start date so enjoy today while it lasts :spin:

Happy your scale does sound off. How dare it not give you a loss after all your hard work :tantrum: that's just not on!!! We bought a scale almost $200.00 and give us our weight, fat percent and water percent. It as great scale and well worth the money spent. However with all the money it still sometimes upsets me with a gain or no loss. I think for that price it should only tell me what I want to hear ;) Remember no :corn: for you tonight!:

Wide in Winnipeg, well I am also very competative and look forward to beating you :goodluck: your going to need it :rofl: :crazy:

Okay enough silliness from me, I need to go put the little one down for his nap and see if I can work a couple of miles off me ticker, good luck to me, ;)

Monica

It is raining here!!!!!! But kinda cold, bummer.

No weight on the scale for me this week either....grrrrrrr

But, my waist is one inch smaller....

I was hoping for less weight tho cuz I have been exercising every day and eating well.....

What do I have to do to "dump the plump" :P

Hi wendy, jazmine, melissa, jaynee, monica, tess, sorry for missing some...trying to figure out who everyone is...

Jazy...have a good week!!!!!

to join the dump your plump all you have to do is write in the quick reply?. also i was looking for a good motivating group to join, this looks like it. i just got the ear staples to help with my food cravings. has anyone else tried them?

awww jeeze i posted in the other thread last night not knowing you had started a new one. can i ask why you start new threads so often? is there some pattern to it?

i don't know about this dump the plump. can someone pls fill me in? it's already monday here so i don't know if you've started...???

hey ladies, whats up!!!
I hope everyone is having a great moring , well I am off to the gym!!

What is ear stapling mharvey????

Hi All!! For those of you that didn't make the final sign in for Dump your Plump please feel free to stay onboard A Few Good Friend!! Game #2 will be starting in 12 weeks and will have room for new recruits!!!

Hi Everyone
I'm excited to start tomorrow and I too love to compete.
I've never heard of ear stapling but in the 80's they used to have ear inserts to curb appetite it put pressure on different part of the ear is it the same type of thing?
Lori

hi i'm in!!!

oh i had this little gadget you attach to your ear (but not STAPLED ouchy ouch) and it was for stress. there are different points on the ear for different things - eating, stress blah blah. based on chinese accupuncture/pressure i think

hi sweet! dont worry i already had you accounted for:)

hi hawk!

I think I joined the correct way, I had posted on the other thread that I wanted to play. So what am I supposed to do?

I'd like to join up...
 

I'm not sure I am doing this right. I'd like to join the dump your plump. I also like the cool measures at the bottom of the emails, and cannot figure out how to do that either. I just joined today. What do I do? How?

hi allllllllllllll
had an unhealthy snack but breakfast was a really healthy smoothie with cucumber, ginger, celery, and berries plus i have had water with lemon juice. the snack wasn't too bad it was licorice with chocolate in the middle. licorice is supposed to be good for digestion so it wasn't as bad as my usual snacks

taking a wee nap now
later tonight i will be going to dog obedience so that will be part of the day's exercise

hi guys!
