Hey
 

Angie: I workout 1 hour 5 days a week.It's just this week that I've started light weightlifting. And I only do weights 3 nights a week for like 25 minutes. I think if you love it and can do it 7 days a week thats great but I cant.


Rusty: 2 lbs =7,000 calories you burned .Stick around girl. You are doing it! Speaking of fruits and veggies.I need to run out today and get my apples and grapes! I seem to do so much better when I have 1-2 apples a day.

later ladies!

One little, measly pound gone this week. I seem to be stuck at one pound a week now. I'm getting a bit frustrated, I'll admit. But I keep telling myself one is better than none, or even a gain, yikes! And all that crap about the slower you lose it the more likely you are to keep it off. Yada yada, yada. I'm trying to convince myself of the truth in it.;) You all are doing so well! I love reading your posts, it motivates me to keep plugging away. Everyone have a great one!:D

I killed my daily intake yesterday - ate a bunch of Chex snack mix. Waah. My first crash on the diet. LOL So I looked back thru all my days on caloriefreak.com and added a 150 cal serving here and there throughout the month - wherever I had a low day. It only brought about four days up to my 1200 goal. Looking at it that way helped me ease my troubled mind. I was just saving those low days up for a BIG snack, I guess!

Back on track today. Just ordered the Leslie Santone Walk Away the Pounds set with the water handweights and I think I'll try them to get me moving. I do simple stairs every few days to music but it's a little boring.

A pound is a pound is a pound, Serina - together we did good. :)

Where's the chat link?
 

Does anyone know where the chat link went? It used to be above next tolog out or forum team? I've been wanting to visit the chatroom for the past couple of days and I dont know how!


Gen

I just tried to go there last night and couldn't find it either. I don't know. I hope they bring it back because I love going in and chatting with everyone.

Rusty - I think I weigh in on Monday b/c I want to pound myself for the weekend. I didn't do it today though. I was TERRIBLE.

I had a friend in this weekend and we ate whatever. We painted half of the inside of my house. So I nknow that we burned tons of cals. We ate pizza, roast beef po boys (w/fries) and to top it off I had chinese food last night. I am not getting near the scale today.

I am so proud of everyone for the great loses this week. Keep up the good work girls!

Gennel- when is the last day of this challenge?

I have a new goal now. My hubby just won an all expesne paid vacation to New York for New Years. I need to be hotter than hot for that. I have never been there b4.

The last time I was in the chat room there were messages saying that the chat room was gonna be revamped. So they may be messin' around with that for now. I don't think it's gonna be as pretty as it was before. Money shortages...

Okay, so I don't think I'm gonna be fat and alone for the rest of my life. I'm gonna do this. I went to the gym yesterday (a regular ritual for me) and I decided to add weight lifting. We'll see how that works out. And I'm gonna stay on my eating patterns and journal what I eat and keep track of what's good and what's bad and look for adjustments that I can make.

Everyone is doing so great!! :) I'm gonna add to this great stuff when I reach my goal this month... or at least come really really really close.

Laterz!

Gennel - I meant to ask you what part of Florida you live in. I lived in Pensacola for about 4 years.

Hey!
 

Kempyd, I live in Hollywood Florida. The last day for the challenge I think is the 23rd of this month.Wow ! lucky you going to NY for New Year's!!!! I will be starting a new 4 week challenge after that of course. I'll do my very best not to gain more than 2 lbs during all those leftover snacks I'll be having!

Also to top it off my hubby bought me my favorite! Ugh! Eggnog. At least he was very thoughtful and bought the lowfat eggnog. It's 120 calories a serving and 2.5 fat. But of course I want two servings which is 240 calories and 5 fatgrams


ttyl,Gen

Ciao Ladies,

Everyone seems to be doing okay. For those who didn't lose or only lose a pound, I feel your frustration but remember it can always be worse.

Hey Gen, My boyfriend lives in Hollywood FL, I'll be there with him later this month. Maybe we can bump heads!!

Kempyd...I'm from NY, I never went to the big New Years party at Time Square because I hate the cold and I would much rather watch on TV. It's funny that among the whole crowd you'll find about 5 new yorkers, lol. That is strictly a Tourist event. But enjoy yourself and don't buy any jewelry from anyone's briefcase :)

Later!

PS Gen I lost 4 pound since the start of this challenge. Hopefully I'll have more good news at the next weigh in.

Gen - if you are interested I have a killer eggnog recipe. I is a loaded (alcohol) kind. My mom makes it every year and people fight over who will get the last glass.

Dips - I am not a big crowd person so NY will be a big test for me. I can't say that I would do it b/c hubby is really excited.

I am getting a computer for home so I can start talking to you guys at night too. I am so excited. I hate not know what is going on here at night. I will defin. let everyone know when we have it set up. YEAH!!!

What kind of computer did you decide on Kempyd? You are gonna love having one at home. It helps me not eat at night. Of course I am on it all the time. LOL.

Tomorrow is my weighday wish me luck.. I can't wait to hit 130 again. I keep going into my closet and looking at all of my "skinny" clothes and remembering how great I felt in them. I am so determinned to keep it off this time.(when I actually get there!!!) My damn Victoria Secret tops aren't here yet. I want to drool over them. I told Jay last night that I probably will be at my goal by the time they ever arrive.HAHA.

I got my hair highlighted last night. I told her fine keep it long but I want it light. I don't know why I am so scared to just cut it short. My daughter got her hair highlighted with pink. She looks really cute. She is only 11 and already so into her looks. She wants contacts already.

Yeah!!! I lost 3.5 pounds this week. That puts me at 9.5 pounds lost so far on this challenge!!! I met and exceeded my goal for this month.I also have lost a grand total of 18.5 pounds!!!

I need to go do the treadmill today because it is pouring outside!!!AAAAHHH!!!

I hope everyone has an awesome day!!!

206.5/188.0/130.0

Angie,Angie!!! You GO GIRL!!!!!!!
 

WOW! WOW! WOW!
A whole 3.5 lbs? OMG!!!! That is an awesome accomplishment! I'm sure you're so proud of yourself,cause I deffinately am! I will have you in mind while I get on "the monster" elliptical machine today! lol Get yourself a little something girl ,you deserve it! A nice lipstick,get your nails done,add something romantic in your room lol. That is awesome!
Well can you tell I'm truly happy for you?
I couldnt leave this thread even if I wanted to! It's likle leaving my kids or something lol,just won't do it lol. Today is a crummy day here. It was super dark,windy and raining here this morning. Looked like Hurricane weather :( But no excuses cause I will jump in my car and go to the Gym this morning!
I'd love to start something to help/support folks that need to lose weight. I mean something I can start at home like meetings,people bringing a "light" meal/snack to every meeting and everyone sharing.I'd even like to make light meals(lunches and dinner) and sell that for some of the people who dont have the time to cook for themselves or dont like to cook at all lol. You know like a small business ? Everyone that knows me and wants to lose weight has told me the same thing over and over" If you would prepare my weekly meals I would pay you andI know I would lose the weight!" Anyone here know how to even get started? One thing I dont have here in Florida is a restaurant for just lowfat menu items. I know that would be a hit! But I cant even imagine what it would take and all the Licenses I would need. That's why I want to start something small. Any advice?

Gen

All you should have to do is call your state food establishment licensing agency. You could get a license to do it at home or you could rent a space to cook from. They will inspect it and tell you what you need to be up to code.(freezers,fridges,stoves,counters , work table,slicers?,and sinks would be your major equipment). It is really easy to start your own business provided you can come up with the money to get equipment. The licensing is just a few calls and some paperwork.

When I hit my goal last time I wanted to do something like that too. I have so many ways of preparing lowfat foods. My sister is very overweight and I would love to see her lose it but she doesn't seem to like the same foods I do.

I think a lowfat catering would be a great idea, especially in Florida. I actually started out doing whoopie pies in my kitchen and then we got a space to rent and now we have a building in our backyard that we had built so I work right at home. I love it. My kids have never had a babysitter and I am always here with them.They don't like that so much,*GRIN* If I can offer any more help let me know. I can try to help you figure out what you need but I love the idea!!! Go for it!!!
