Hi everyone!!

I signed up for that discovery body challenge and got a free pass for ballys gym 8 weeks not sure if I will go I kinda have to scope it out I may do it specially if they have a free trainer thats what I need someone to push me a little. I have been lagging lately when it comes to exercise thats pretty bad but I am in the PMS days. I hope everyone is doing good and loosing weight.
I need to recruit a exercise buddy so we can go together.......

Ivy

Kiwi I did it I did Leslie Sansone WATP . I did her 1 Mile Get up and get started and then her 2 Mile high calorie Burn and I was feeling good so I did her 3 Mile Super fat Burning. That was a total of 6 miles at 1 hr and 45 min. I had a great Breakfast. 2 Egg Whites, Slices of Jennie O Turkey bacon one Cup of Oatmeal, And 1 Cup of fruit.

I would like to let everyone know if they dont but When you eat alot of Veggies they have lots of fiber. Fiber can be hard on your Kidneys. My Husband Doc said that If you eat alot of Brocolli or high fiber foods make sure to eat lemon , Lemon breaks down the build up in your kidneys witch will help prevent kidney stones.
I buy some real lemon in( little packets )and add it in a few of my water bottles Hey you can even squeeze a real lemon too.

OMGosh Bonnie! I don't know how all you walkers do it? I am currently only 189. Of course I am only 5 feet tall but when I walk one mile my knees are killing me! I go shopping all day and my feet hurt plus my knees hurt. I can't imagine going 6 miles! Even if its in the house. I need to lose weight before I can walk that long. KUDO'S TO YOU Bonnie, Scalewatcher, Hpnotq, Dannie, Ivy, and I think Suz is into walking too. That's why you guys are losing the weight! I'm losing too just alittle slower than you! ha ha

Welcome Bonnie
I am not sure i agree with not doing some weights as muscle burns more calories using light weights is not a bad thing it helps reshape your body and tone you i use 5 lb weights and do about 15 minutes 2x/week just for toning

i did not make it to exercise class on monday but did do my exercise tape at home

i also do not count calories I have theWW book and measure my food and also use a smaller plate for my food so far it seems to be working

keep on moving and losing suz

[Kiwi24]

Suz, getting a smaller plate is like setting your clock back at night 10 mins so you won't be late in the morning. I bet you do that! LOL

When you eat from your plate do you go " yum, look at all that food" or like me would say " what the heck happened to my plate? Its a saucer!!" When you wake up in the morning at what point do you realize you are 10 min. early? The first or second time you hit snooze!?

Its a sickness! Its called denial!! Its what brought you to this post! LOL


I'm going to pee in my pants! You are killing!!

Okay a friend of mine has got me on her 3 day diet. Its suppose to kick start your diet or maybe help get you off that plateau. Anyway, she does one of those member diets you see on tv like WW, LA, SB, PWL, So she has given me the 3 day one to help me get going.

So here's the deal. You are only on it for 3 days. You may have all the Protein you want of the following:

1. Beef, Chicken, Fish, Nothing fried.
2. Green veg. and salad.
3. You must eat 2 eggs any style each day.
4. You must eat 2 oranges each day
4. You must have 8 - 8 ounces of water each day
5. You must have 1/4 teaspoon of lite morton salt each day
6. you may have only 24 oz of Diet drinks
7. you may only have 2 packets of sweetener per day

You may not have
any fried food
No pork
No dairy

Supposely you don't get hungry because you can eat when you want and how much you want. the more food the better she said.

She had a whole paper on it but I've given you the quick version. If you are interested. I'm going to try it for 3 days including today. What I've had so far seemed pretty healthy to me but she says its not on a regular basis so its only allow for 3 days. She lost 4 pounds hasn't gained it back. Of course she does the actual diet now that she has done this. She has lost 23 pounds.

anyway I thought I'd pass it on.

Just popping in to say hello. I went to the dr yesterday and found that my scale is horribly wrong! I weight 17 lbs less at the drs office than I do on the scale here at home! I guess we're gonna have to get a new scale or something lol. Hope everyone is doing well I've successfully made it through Day 5 of my 21 days without DP....with just one little craving for it yesterday.

[Kiwi24]

Alright I finished up the night on the diet thing I was given. I ate all the salad I wanted without all the stuff I normally put on it. Then I ate all the chicken I wanted.
She's right I am not hungry. (at least today!) I drink bottled water so I had 4 today which put me over what I was suppose to have. I had my eggs and ate the oranges as snacks. I'll try again tomorrow and see how it goes.

Alright Hp!! That must have been exciting to see you lost at the Drs. office, normally you would gain on their scales. That's awesome!! 17 pounds in 1 day!!

Good Morning Everyone - Sorry I didn't post yesterday. IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY I did my exercise and then I was gone all day. Last night my friends and husband took me out to dinner at a great neighborhood mexican resturant. It was as just as good as I remembered.

Kiwi maybe I'll try the diet to see if I can drop a few pounds quick. I will be with you at 8:00am for exercise.

[Kiwi24]

Good Morning,
Happy birthday Scalewatcher, I can't believe I forgot to wish you one yesterday! I hope you had a wonderful time!

On the diet I forgot to mention no Breads, pasta, rice potato.

I tried it yesterday and although its restrictive it was easy and filling. Hopefully since its only for 3 days I'll stay true to it. Friday's my last day. I noticed I lost some ounces this morning which is good because I felt I was stuck again on the 189 thing.

Feel you at 8:00

Good Morning to everyone. Yeaturday went pretty good I did my workout and I ahd so much energy all day . Had my breakfast his morning and getting ready to start my exercise workout. See you all soooon.

Hello Everyone:

Hope everyone is doing well. all newbies glad to have you joing us on our quest to improve our bodies and health.

Hey Ivy...I'll give you a push.. now get to exercising.... PMS is NO excuse now get out and at least WALK!!!
Seriously now...jk...when PMS hits even if you exercise in small intervals helps you than not doing anything at all. Walk 10 mins, then later add another 10 and so on until you at least get up to 45 mins a day, you;ll be surprized at how fast 10 mins goes.... good luck...I am cheering for ya

HP wow....I would love to go and find out my scale is wrong and that I am actually 17lbs lighter :
That would put me in a weight class that i have not seen for 10 years or so..**** the 180's have been a long time ago too but I am there.... :

Today I walked 30 mins and I felt like I walked 2 hrs. I was so sleepy and really not motivated at all, but I did 30 and maybe later I'll do 15 to get my 45 mins in...

Hey Kiwi how is that "rabbit" diet going? what do you actually put on your salad? do you like balsamic vinegar? I love it and there are some with only 5 calories per tablespoon and I can eat that on my salads without oil...or what about those wishbone spritzers, can you have those? sorry but plain salad and chicken sounds very dry....like you.... JK...how have u been feeling? still under the weather? Hows your throat? if ya quit yelling all the time maybe it would not be so sore... JK hope you are feeling better

Ya know we all had that stomach virus in my house, my skinny son lost 6lbs. after he puked for 2 days and had well you know the other for a few more days...I too had the same thing and only had a 2lb weight loss for that week, Now I am not complaining abou the 2lbs, but geeze I would have loved a 6lb loss that would put me in the 170's......wouldn't that be nice...

Drink your water ladies and fidget all day long...have a good one..

Oh I almost forgot: HAPPY BIRTHDAY... SCALEWATCHER.....HOPE YOU HAVE MANY HAPPY HEALTHY, SKINNY MORE

Danni

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes .

Well it is Friday and the official weigh in day. I hope everyone has a great weigh in. I didn't lose I gained 4 tenths of a pound. I am blaming it on the Birthday Food. O.K. Birthday is over and I'm going to make my self a note to try harder and not let special occassions get the best of me. Although this Saturday is our "Family Night" We have one every month. It is where all of my family and thier families come over to my house for a dinner. Every month has a different theme. This month my daughter Cindy picked the theme. She decided to have finger foods. So there will be a multitude of options. Everyone brings something different. I will have to try extremely hard in order to lose weight by the next weigh in on Monday. I have to go so I can exercise at 8:00.
