Fact or Fiction? Ten years ago you used to hear a lot about your body's *set point*. *Experts* thought that your body would find its set point and that it was very difficult to persuade it that you wanted to weigh more or less. It made sense to me at the time because I'd spent about 10 years right around 135 and another ten of my adult life around 165 without paying any attention to my diet.

Now I'm stuck (temporarily, of course) at 165.

Wykyd One - thank you. I'm biding my time. (Twiddling thumbs and looking at watch.) LOL

I was at my midwife's office today and her scale is six pounds higher then mine! Bummer. :mad: Of course, I was dressed with shoes and everything, lol! I was under 200 though, and it showed a 17 pound loss from the last time I was there, so I'm still pretty happy. Anyway, I had cookie dough today. And two cookies! UGH!! My sisters baby shower is Saturday and I'm soposed to bake like 7 different kinds of cookies for it, so I'm getting a head start. This could be a dangerous proposition.:devil: I'm doing so good with my exercise. I do about an hour on the treadmill everyday. And I can tell my endurance has gone up. But my diet is horrible. I've been eating about 2,700 a day. I need it to be about 1900-2200. I'm breastfeeding, so I do need at least 1900, but I'm way over that and I just can't seem to stop. What is wrong with me?? I'm losing about 1/2 a week, if that. It's been like this for about two weeks now. Also, my pregnant sister is living with us now and she's an awful influence!! She's always been like a size 6, but now she wants to eat out everyday and has sweets and junk in the house. I feel like I should be better able to control my eating.
So that was my vent for the day. Gennel, I can't get the pictures. It just shows me a blank screen.:( But, it sounds like an awsome party!! TTFN, and have a great evening all.:)

Hi everyone. I am hoping for a loss this Saturday but I don't know. I have not been able to get on my elliptical machine...I fell off the porch steps AGAIN. Yep, this is my 2nd time this year. My back porch steps are made of wood and became very slick with the rain we have been getting EVERY day. So anyway I have been taking it easy with the exercising. This fall was worst than the last one.

So I am going to jump on my machine right now and try to do some mileage and see if that is possible and also to see if it will work out the kinks.

Gennel I would love to see those pics but I keep getting some kind of advertisement. I don't think I am doing anything different.

Well talk with all of you later. bye.

Hey everyone,

I've been out of the loop for the last week. (field training, rifle range, army stuff)

However, I maintained my 133. Now that I'm back from the field I can get back into the gym. I actually missed it. Gen I tried to access your pics and all I got was an ad. I would love to see them though. My email is [email protected]. Ciao bella!

If it's not too late I would like to be in on the challenge. I would like to lose 6 lbs by then. I have done pretty well since I started. I was at 233 and am now at 221. So, 215 is my goal. I like to set small goals so I don't freak out. I am in no hurry. I will get there.

Hi MG! Wykyd and I are here, too! :)

Well, my plateau is off/on - I've teetered on the edge from 164 to 165 to 164 to...

163 today - so it's down a tick. Progress is progress. Hanging in there!

Good luck (and hard work!) everyone!

Weigh In Today
 

Good Morning Ladies!

How's everyone doing? Remember today is weigh in so please let me know if you maintained ,gained or lost anything. I pretty much stayed the same for this week which is exactly what I wanted!
I had some crepes at IHOP yesterday and I just had to learn how to make some! I got the super easy recipe and made some this morning..yummmy. I just need fresh fruits to top it with.


ttyl!

194/130/130!

Hi. My weighday is usually on Wednesday but I did weigh myself today. the scales say I lost 3 pounds since Wednesday but I will wait until Wednesday to make it official, hopefully it wasn't just a fluke weigh in!!!LOL If it is accurate than I have lost 4.5 pounds so far for this challenge!!! YEAH!!!

I went and bought some sexy shirts at the Victorias Secret websight last night since I was 130 not to long ago I figured it would be a good incentive for me to stay on track.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!!

Hi everyone
 

Gennel- put me down for a 4lb loss. I started doing the elliptical machine for 30 minutes + my treadmill on cardio days this week. It was hard the first day, but much better the 2nd. The funny thing is that after I started it on Tuesday and burned so many more calories, from Tuesday on I've hit a plateau. Fortunately for me those 4 pounds came off last weekend!:) Anyway I can feel a huge difference doing the elliptical with my treadmill on cardio days, so I know eventually once my body stops fighting me again and gets used to it that the pounds will move again. Maybe I can hope for a loss by next Saturday. Kina- sorry to hear about your fall- and that tornado must have been so scary! Sorry I haven't been around much. Super busy these days. Well I hope everyone has a great weigh in. Gennel all I see is an add. I'd love to see the pics though. My email address is: [email protected]. Take care all. Di:)
