Hi Red! I havent left you again....just getting my issues in order. The doc put me on wellbutrin, I have been losing weight like crazy (a side effect from the drug)but I still feel a little icky.
I`m really trying to feel better, they said a couple weeks before I notice a difference, but I`m starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel already. Little by little everyday.

I hope in just a couple days I`ll be starting another challenge. I could think of so many I need! But I will be back, just trying to get over a lot of emotional blows. Time to take care of myself though, I`m learning that lately. ;)

Hope everyone is doing well! Lots of luck to you all. I`ll see ya real soon!

YAY!!! I had about 95% of the daily recommended fiber today!!!!

tea -- How are you? And thank you for liking my colorful posts! :) Knuckle-cracking? Oh, gross! God, I hate that. :rofl: Don't mind me. Ok, I guess. The challenges are supposed to be somewhat weight loss or healthy related but we'll allow the stretch! :lol3:

Thanks for the exception. :) It grosses me out when I hear other people cracking their knuckles too. So I'll quitting my habit in an effort to make sure others won't be disgusted by it.

This challenge has provided motivation for me to not snack on the extra cube of tofu for dinner... or the slice of orange... or for even the broccoli. I passed up a lot of leftovers and once again tried to be efficent by putting them away.

Veggielover (Love your name! I love veggies too!), what's your height? Congrats on the daily fiber. Was that from all of your oatmeal on this reduced budget of yours?

procrastinating....

Hi all. Working on what...Day 14 here...so far so good. Gotta keep the CAN DO attitude!

********************

tea -- crack, crack! :nono: No, right? You are successfully moving along on your challenge! :yes: Excellent on the non-snacking. By the way, Japanese and me now too are always cracking their necks. Some look really bizarre in the trains. You'd think they needed an exorcism or something! :rofl: Speaking of trains, I helped out a foreign couple today. They looked lost in just what is like one of the busiest stations in Japan and I guided them to the correct train. My good samaritan act for the day!

veggie -- You skinny little thing! :lol: Yes, I totally hear you on the budding anorexics. I am surrounded by them here. Good for you for setting those silly twits straight when they come to you for advice! On the budget thing...it's so funny...well, actually, not...that you are saving money with oatmeal. I pay dearly for it here and love it and now I'm out and trying not to order it again because it's just too costly (I get steel-cut slow-cooking stuff). I really wish I could find it as cheaply as you do! Heh, is there something you covet from Japan that is costly there. We could swap!

Caro -- Mia cara! :wave: thought you'd given up on us! What's wellbutrin? antidep? Good side effect at least, eh? Sorry to hear about those emotional blows. Wow, tell me in a PM or something. Can you get IM? We could chat. Well, hope to hear from you soon. :hug:

Shad -- 14-hour days! :stress: You poor thing! Good for you for doing those crunches though...that reminds me.... :^: Hang in there! :strong:

marb -- pod-holder, fallout, chewing fur? :?: sounds bizarre, like something from a sci-fi movie, oh wait, that's what living in Tokyo is like! :lol3: I hope you get things worked out there, marb. And, what's this, I assume that pound moving on the scale was in the desired direction?! :bravo:

kt -- Ouch on the Germans. I hear you though. Yes, it can be a very trying country to live in. I, like you, am German descent, have a very German name and speak fluent Deutsch, so things were just dandy...people just thought I was a bit odd....oh, was that just in Germany!??! :rofl: In any case, I hope you can maybe learn to at least pretend to enjoy it...I am in another land of intolerance...but really, I think it's kind of universal when you scratch the surface. But yes, Germany is more in your face about it ...I remember it well...it's why I find Japan relatively easy to put up with. Tip....drinking large quantities of Weissbier and not thinking deeply really, really helps!

dj -- Way to go on the challenges! You are rocking! Yes, I'm busy and here I am replying to everyone as further distraction from my work! :^:

Another day in the bag, but I'm not too sure how it'll be from now on... I got a call at 11 am today about a temp job which started at 1 pm... So I probably won't be around much for a week or two. The good thing is that I spent 1h20min on the stationary bike and did the squats this morning, so that's another day done. Now I need to figure out how I'm going to do it tomorrow... 7:30 am train, 9-5 work, train, back at 6:30 pm...

Hi everyone! Hope all is well.

Yesterday I already reported that I ate a half a donut so pause day there so it's day 13 today. Water was good though so day 14 today, and my deficit, not sure what happened other than I was busy so I blew it. Ended up with a deficit of 1397. Back to day 4 on that!

Good news for me was that the scale is still moving! Got a 190 this morning so either my "plateau" broke on its own or this eating a little more calories is working. That makes 2 pounds gone now. Yay! Whatever it is, I don't care, as long as it keeps going! I still refuse to record the 190 yet though, I just want to know it's going to hold. If I still get a 190 tomorrow morning, I'll accept it.

Anyways, hope you all are doing well with your challenges. Got to run. Catch up later.

Quick Post before I am off to work. I fell of the wagon in a big way. I got caught up with work and an event i was giving, but I got back on Sunday and so this is day 3 of my challenge. I decided to pick one challenge and stick to it. So excercise at least 10 min every day. Will post more later.:carrot:

I was able to get a lot fo fiber from broccoli (my fav!!!), apples, whole wheat bread, (well I had a regular plan flour bagel, and it had like1/2 the amount of fiber) and oatmeal!!! I thought it was going to be uterrly impossible, but apprently those apples really helped! (however,they Were $3.00 for the bag... not quite sure how this is going to affect me in the future... ) BUT i was soooooooooo happy about this!!! wow I dont think I ever got so much fiber in my life! (and i was aiming for only 50%!)

(ps- those werent the only foods I ate! I just wrote down the fiber count yesterday!)

Redballon, are you Japanese?? Or simply in Japan?

Hey all. Back from my conference. While I worked out like a demon (I have 4 blisters to prove it), lack of sleep, too much good (not good for you) food, and too much . . . . uhm, "socializing" - I am restarting my challenges tomorrow. I am sure there will be heck to pay when I weigh in. And since tomorrow is circuit class - retribution will be swift and painful. Ah well. I had a good time, but am glad to be home. Will be off to bed as soon as I get one more load of laundry done. (how could i have that much laundry with only being gone two days :fr:???)

So. Enough about that. I will read more tomorrrow. Hello to everyone. Welcome to the new voices. And have a great evening :wave:

teatree -- no, not Japanese. American, but been here for over 20 years. Hail from Pittsburgh! You obviously weren't with us during the Super Bowl! :lol3:

Hey ladies...Thank you all for the words of encouragement. I hanging in there. I think I am working for the devil right now but it will get better. So, anyway...I am starting over on day one today and I did well. I will go excerise here in a bit and then my goals are complete for day one. Yippe..

Thanks again Red and Djs. Continued strenght and success to all and I will comment more later. thanks ladies... (oh and red...thanks for the editing tip...sometime the most obvious things escape us...lol...

Hey peops, did you all know about this dude walking across the States. We just got a story in on it because he completed his walk and I thought it was interesting. His Web site is thefatmanwalking.com
Check it out! :wave:

Morning all. Just a real quick report. I weighed in this morning and stayed the same. Pretty good, considering all the damage I did while I was gone.

So - not much else to report. Except still overtired and cranky, so I want to eat. Even though I am so tired, I feel nauseous. Wow, this sounds soooo negative. Sorry. I will try hard to find a perky gene somewhere before I post again.

:cb: :cheer: :cb: :dance: U rah rah Go Team Go! :cb: :cheer: :cb: :dance:

HA_HA RB..........obviously they do not have the much lusted after Senseo coffee pot in Japan.......it brews one perfect foamy cup at a time, you have to buy these special pods to use the pot....

sorry I'm MIA, but work and real life is busy(I'm organizing all those men who are chasing me)...AHEM, I'm down more lbs since last week. When I'm done pinching myself I'll see if it was a dream and change my tracker. I am wearing a 6th skirt from my closet that hasn't seen my hips since 2003 and my bodyfat is down too!

hi to everyone else and congrats on your progress too!
