Hey everyone, I didn't fall off the wagon too hard, but I am back up to 138. So I'm working my way back down again, the weight's being a little stubborn this time! So, I have some work ahead of me. Good for all of you in your low 130's, I'm jealous! |

Skiijoring is a sport similar to dog sledding, except you (normally) only have one dog, and the dog is pulling a skier instead of a sled! The dog is in harness attached to the skier by an 8' line, the skier is in harness with cross country skis and poles. That is the basic concept. Some people have up the 3 dogs, but for starters I'd just go with my pointer mix, she's got enough energy to match 10 dogs |

Hello! I just bought a set of cross country skis a couple of days ago. I, too, live in the northern US and we have plenty of the white stuff. Unfortunately, it's also -9 degrees out today, with a -30 wind chill, so I'm not sure if I will get out today. I am sooo excited about learning this sport! Running and biking are beginning to lose their charm, I still enjoy them, but not as much anymore. I also want to look into skiijoring, as I have a couple of high-energy pointers who get a little bored after hunting season. Merry Christmas, and if you or anyone else has any pointers for a newbie, let me know! |

| Maintaining | Will you ever be normal? | Oct 27 2008 21:18 (UTC) |

'Normal' for me, after spending the last 2 years losing weight and finally entering maintenance mode, is exercising 6 days a week. And writing down everything that I eat, even if that means I ate 4 pieces of Pineapple Upside Down Cake and had a 2500 calorie day (yesterday-- eesh). It wasn't the occasional high-calorie day that made me fat, it was the fact that every day was a high-calorie day, and I didn't exercise. I truely love to exercise now. I enjoy setting new fitness goals for myself and achieving them and setting new ones. I enjoy the way that eating right makes my body feel. This isn't a diet, or an abnormal lifestyle, this is a healthy lifestyle. And of course you should not obsess over what you eat, but you should watch what you eat. And if you want 4 pieces of Pineapple Upside Down Cake, than have it! But be careful the next day, or exercise it off. Or just don't worry about it so much because the extra 600 calories for one day isn't going to make you fat!

Hello! Here is a very good article about why your weight fluctuates so much. It's geared toward the scale-obsessed dieter, which you don't seem to be, but it's very informative. Hope it helps! http://www.figureathlete.com/readArticle.do?i d=2382919

Thanks everyone! This feels good... to not wonder if I'm the biggest one in the room, or what I would feel like if I could wear cute clothes and not shop in the Plus Size section of the store. Now I know how that feels, it feels great! A size 4-6 is a great size to be (I might try for a solid 4 though)! Yea us!!! |

I did it! 134.5 yesterday, 135 today! Woo Hoo! I'll maintain here for a bit, and see if it's good or not. I'm starting to get a lot of the "You're going to blow away if you lose any more" comments, so maybe here is good... Have a great day! |

Hello again everyone! I'm so close to my 135 goal now I can taste it! I weighed in this morning at 136, so just... one... more... pound! I will try to maintain a while at that weight, maybe shoot for 130, we'll see... Hello K9! I'm 34 yrs old, 5'5", and eat between 1300-1600 cals a day. I try to watch my protien intake, because I know my diet tends to lack that. Congrats on your wieght loss! You look great! |

I ran my first half-marathon this past May, you totally kicked my times' butt! (2:31:54) I was just happy to finish! My goal this next May (Fargo Marathon) is to shave 20 minutes off my time! I plan to run the full marathon in 2010! Well done! |

Back down to 138, whew... It's funny how 3 little pounds effects a person's outlook on things. And how fat it makes me feel now. |

That was short-lived, I didn't have a great weekend, back up to 141 (sigh), I'll do my best to get back under 140 by the end of the week... |

My first 5K I ran in 31:43,( ran in July '07) I trained at about 5 to 5.5 mph. So I did okay, and I was soooo proud! This past May I trained for and ran a 1/2 marathon. Just a warning: RACING IS ADDICTIVE! Have fun and good luck!!! |

Actually, I just got back to 139.5 this morning!! Woo Hoo!! I've stepped up my running workout, and am making sure I lift weights, and make it to my yoga class twice a week. And throw in at least 15 miles a week on my bike.... and stay away from the junk (family outings are done for awhile). If anyone ever tells me losing weight is easy, I'll punch 'em in the nose! |

| Maintaining | Help! How do I handle the "extras" on maintenance? | Aug 08 2008 17:19 (UTC) |

Another thing you could try is just exercising a little more that splurge day, or the day after. If you have a few hundred extra calories, then burn them off by doing a longer workout, or a more intense one! I generally try to do that, because I hate saying no allthe time to the pizza, brownies, cake, chips, you name it! So I burn it off, I've also surpassed all of my exercise goals by doing this, I can run faster, and farther than I ever thought I would... so eat up! I do try to eat healthy the overwhelming majority of the time, so please don't think I'm encouraging unhealthy eating patterns... but for most of us life is going to stick tempting foods under our noses from time to time... and we have options! |

140.5 this morning, still heading the right direction! I'll shoot for another 'low' day today, and maybe I'll squeak under the 140 mark before we leave Friday morning! That will be the first time since January!! I think a BMI of 21 is very good as well, it's a very healthy number. Have a good day |

Luckily we will be hauling our camper out to the Dells so we can pack most of our food and avoid the restaurants. We will also be taking a cooler on our day trips to bring along fruits, veggies, sandwiches, and the like... that should help us avoid most of the fatty, deep-fried, salty goodies at the attractions. 141.5 this morning, kind of expected that, yesterday was a 'low' day for calories, I barely made 1200. But this was after 2 'high' days in a row, so I was due! Onward and downward! |

Well, I bought one today and ran 4 miles in it. I liked it, but the the little shorts did ride up a some. So I think for anything more than 4 miles I'd want to lube up with some Body Glide. But otherwise they worked well. I felt cute ( I ran in a skirt, and I liked it!!!!! |

I'm glad you started this thread! Reading through this it sounds like my life this past summer! Family picnics, camping, vacations... all while your trying to keep your weight under control. EEEESSSHHH! I do enjoy myself at all of these events, but it is depressing to come home, step on the scale, and see that once again, I have 5 more pounds to lose.... I ended last year having lost just over 60lbs, and was 136 (and lovin' it!). Then the weight started to slowly creep back on this year, and at the end of June I was 147. So, back to losing again and now I'm at 142, so 6 more pounds to go (at least, we'll see once I get there again). And I have a short vacation planned this next weekend to the Wisconsin Dells.... never been there, but I can't imagine there is very much diet-friendly food floating around! Anyways, I've enjoyed reading your comments. It's nice to know there are so many like-minded people out there sharing the same struggles I am! Good luck to everyone! |

Runner's World had 'test driven' quite a few, and I was eye-balling 2 in particular that were both cute, and had the features I am looking for. I can't remember the brand names now (I'm at work). I love shopping!!! |

| Hello Molly,
I'll start by saying that I enjoy your posts very much, I always get a smile, some good advice, and maybe a good recipe or two. I'm very sorry for your experience will your endocrinologist. And, you're much nicer than I would have been... If I had a medical question, and a medical professional told me to "Google it" I'd have told her to "Google THIS b***h"! Good luck! |

! The point isn't to have the dog pull the skier the whole way, the skier has to work at it, too, so you don't wear your dog out too soon. There are several websites dedicated to this sport that have a lot more info, I don't know that much about it yet, I'm just toying with the idea, since I have the dog and the skis!
), and strong and athletic. They one I bought was one from Target, so I can't expect great things from department store clothing, my next one will be a quality name brand.
