Hey Ladies!

Karen: You worked at the Rose Bowl? That sounds fun! What did you do?

Karey: Your new "toy" sounds interesting I've heard of the body bugg but not the GoWear Fit you'll have to tell us how you like it!

Me: Ugh not my best food weekend. I had a ton of fun but didn't even try to watch what I ate. Went to a baseball game on Friday with a bunch of friends and a bbq on saturday. Both were super fun involved a lot of beer drinking and junk food. So my weight is up like 2 1/2lbs this morning but I'm going to take it easy this week and get in some good workouts and avoid the junk food. I felt myself start to lose control with the sweets too.  It's so easy to lose control isn't it??

Hope everyone had a fun weekend!

hey girls!

Karey: oh PB and Co how amazingly good that stuff is. I can't buy it or PB at all because the same thing happens to me i have a bad day and then cant keep the spoon out of the jar. i hope one day i get to the point where i can control myself around it! Oh and i love vitatops, and the brownies. they sell them in the freezer sections of grocery stores which you wouldnt expect if ya'll are looking for them.

Gina: Feel better! Sorry to hear about your boy drama! I know I used to hate hearing this but you'll find the right guy. I went on a boy diet after ending a long on and off relationship with a guy who wasnt good for me and ended up randomly meeting my bf in the elevator of my building a month later and we've been together for 2 years and he treats me like a queen. the right guy is out there just be patient :) so many girls i know settle for a guy and i just think that is the worst thing possible so it sounds like this was the best thing for you.

Sarah: Good luck with the 100 miles. That will give you some motivation to workout at least!

Mandy: Thats great that you found a trainer that gives you just enough push to get motivated and not discouraged. that is hard to find!

Me: I've had a pretty good week my weight is back down and i'm recovered from the flu so i feel pretty good. I think im going with the bf to see tha Hangover tonight, anyone seen it yet? then a friends bday party tomorrow night so i'm sure there will be too much drinking on sat. But it will be a fun night! it's a tennis themed party at this new bar in DC that has a country club theme and put put and stuff. can't wait! i'll make sure to pound some water and workout both days to prepare and recover from the festivities! hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend!

Girls thanks for the welcome and tips. I always like to see what other people are doing. My roomie just started the P90 workouts this week I told her I might try it with her one of these days.

Sarah: I feel your pain! I have been back to calorie counting for 1.5 months and have gone up and down but overall Im at the same weight I started. I know exactly why like you said the self sabatoge. Dieting for me is such a mind game its getting that under control i know what i need to do.

Karey: Yes I've been on the 130/140 forum I thought you looked familiar! I haven't commented too much on there though it seems to have died down. Ive seen commercials for the Wii EA Sports Active and was intrigued I might have to buy that one!

As for me I noticed I'm back down a pound TTOM is coming so i know that is going to make my weight be all screwy. The bf is going to be out of town this weekend and so are a lot of my girlfriends so i should have no excuses not to have a healthy weekend at least. Weekends are the worst for me!

Have a good day ladies!

Cassy-I'm sorry for your loss! sounds like a crazy week, good luck!

Joan: I'm feeling the same way, I just saw your journal. We have to get our self control back!

I had a not so good food weekend or really workout weekend either. But I'm back to it today. I guess thats about all we can do get over it and try again. So we shall see.

Hope everyone had a little time to relax over the weekend. I'm so sad summer is over! I didn't get to the pool nearly enough!

Hello Dears,

So I have really abandoned this forum lately but I could use some of your advice. I wrote about this in my journal today too but I feel like I have hit my dieting wall. I just have that I don't care attitude about what I eat and I can't seem to shake it. I've been working out a lot 5 to 6 days a week. So I feel better now that I'm working out but now I just need to conquer the eating. So any advice on how to get over the i don't care attitude and eating whatever, and hitting the dieting wall?

hholly: feeling sore always makes me feel good in some weird way unless its really bad of course

cassy: aww 1st day of kindergarten, those were the days! thats great on the extra walking

sherry: i'm with you. its funny how hard it is to focus on yourself. as a mom and wife i can imagine that is way harder.

Hey Ladies!

Not a good food weekend. My mom was in town and we spent the weekend with the fam and just ate out a lot, ate a lot of rich food, and of course too much. On top of that ttom starts this week so i'm bloated. Feeling like a fatty mcfatty today so won't be weighing myself this week because I know if I do I'm going to get discouraged. So back to the grind today eating healthier, and smaller portions and working out.

coopeju: I'm in your same boat i'm around 138 (139ish) and was a lot lower a few months ago with the same ideal weight. good luck with the new gym! Stress eating is def my problem and I have been stressed the last month which is why i really packed the pounds back on that i worked so hard to lose. 

hope everyone has a great day! 

Hello Ladies!

Finally saw the sex and the city movie last night! very cute but i thought the whole jennifer hudson scenerio was kind of out of place doesnt fit in with the movie. anyways my mom comes in to town tonight so i have to run home and work out and clean! I'm getting bored with my gym workout lately i need to spice it up. Its been way to hot to go running here though!

jredig: thanks for the welcome!

hhbroadbent: i've been curious about the carmen dvd. ive always been curious to take one of the strip aerobics classes at some gyms. my friends and i are waiting for someone to have a bachelorette party to do it!

simignoone: my bf gave me a weight/strength routine to do about a month or 2 ago and it has lunges/squats wow did i feel it the first week. I have no butt so i feel like its helping me get one haha.

burnyn: hope you feel better. i have days where i'm extra hungry for some reason too. doesn't sound like you did that bad. its not like you ate a box of cookies or something so don't worry you'll be back on track today!

Hey Everyone!

I am not new to CC but have used it on and off for weight loss. much like a lot of you (i scanned through other posts) I've struggled with my weight and dieted forever. I'm 25 5'5 and 138 so just barely in this group haha. I have been really up and down since Jan. I went from 140 high down to 134 low and have been a stready 138 lately. My ideal goal is 125, my mini goal (not so mini really) is 130. I try to eat between 1200 and 1300 calories a day. I'm trying to learn my hunger cues and not just eat for the hell of it or because it tastes good so thats challenging. Anyways that about sums it up!

hope you all are having a great day!

PS i know my weight is a lot higher then most of ya'll but hope you don't mind if I join the group!

Hello Hello!

Finally got my butt to the gym yesterday after almost 2 weeks off (eek!). Planning on going running today after the sun starts to go down because it is HOT here today. Its like the dead of summer came all of a sudden. Eating has been relatively good this week. I've tried to keep it balanced and somewhere in my calorie limit range. 

Vickie: glad you dropped a bit today, see don't get too discouraged the weight will come back off. (i should really follow my own advice sometimes! haha)

sherry: haha yea avoiding tacos before excercising is key! good job on the 3 miles though. we all have really picked up on our outdoor excercising!

cassy: hope you get your workout in tonight!

stacey: so all this riding to work talk has made me kind of want to get a bike haha. Im moving in july to about a mile away from where i live now which is not as walkable to everything as my old place so now i want a bike to take to get around like to go to the grocery store. i think i want something like one of those beach cruisers, i saw a picture of kate hudson on one in people and ever since decided thats what i want. i just dont want to spend a lot of money on one in case it gets stolen or something!

Good Morning!

I have a question for ya'll. Do you guys base your calories for the day on your net calories? For example lets say I consumed 1500 calories and burned 300 working out for a net of 1200. Or just on what you consume? I know you should always get at least 1200 or more calories a day. But what if you work out then should you just make sure you get at least 1200 net? I hope that makes sense. I was reading some articles and stuff and just wondering what everyone is doing.

Anyways as i wrote in my journal the stress i've had lately is leading me to binge on sweets. But it also is leading me to do more cardio to burn off some of the frustration. So not healthy but I evened out and was actually down a pound this morning. Got rid of the sweets in my apartment though so problem has been eliminated.

soraya: thats funny whats with everyone being on ttom at the same time haha

stacey: good job on getting your workouts in! whoohoo for 3 days until vacation!

hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning!

Hope all the mamma's had a nice mother's day :). It's a gloomy gloomy Monday here today, thats the worst it should be illegal to have to get out of bed when its cold and rainy on a monday haha. Got all my workouts in this weekend and this morning. Did pretty good on food, drank a little too much on Saturday night again, per usual. 3 people told me i looked skinnier this weekend though so that was encouraging!

soraya: I always have 1 night a week lately when I drink to much when I'm out with friends. I feel like everyone gets more social soon as it starts to get warm out so we go out more. Thursday was a work function so I always watch what I drink. Plus the CEO and all the big shots were there, I always try to avoid the possibility of being "that" person at office functions haha.

sherry: thats so funny about your friend, I wish I could give up sweets but that will never happen. i actually feel bad for people who are allergic to chocolate haha. luckly i was never a big pork fan so not a huge loss more of a pain.

cassy: i'm so glad to hear you were able to run pain free!

joan: glad to hear you found a gym to join. hope getting back into your old routine helps out your back!

stacey: thats good to hear about the bf wanting to be healthy that should help you stay on track too!

I think i got pretty much everyone, have a great day everyone!
