I am going today after work :) Yesterday I was there for an hour and I am SORE today.. I did some of the Nautilus equipment on my arms and now I am hurting!  so, I am thinking it will just be a treadmill and bike day!!

Keep me posted on how things are..

I need to get back on track with my eating!! UGH

WOO HOO!! Congrats :) I was beginning to wonder if there was still anyone around :)

I just joined a new gym and they FINALLY opened last week.  So I have gone 4 times with yesterday kicking my butt!!  I am so sore today but ready to go back :)

I have about 25-30 pounds to lose.. Its going to be a tough process, but I am ready to start again.  I was in a bad place after my surgery but now am finally ready to get back on track! 

So if any newbies are reading this or anyone that joined before.. Let's roll!!! =)

Thanks for all the great ideas!  I have never even thought of putting salsa on a salad.. Sounds yummy!!!!

I'll have to try that out

Hey there!  I am here :) haha!  I weighed in at 173 yesterday morning. So I have lost 10 pounds since my surgery in October.  I want to lose more! =)

Its been hard to eat healthy I will tell you that.. But somehow I have still managed to lose weight!

I wonder if anyone IS still here??

WTG Nicole!!  Thats awesome!  Your moms dinner sounds REALLLLLLLLY yummy!

I dont log my calories all the time here either.  I use this group to help me focus :)

Tiki-- What is the name of the gym?  We have one in this area called Planet Fitness that offers the same deal.  The only problem is now its totally overcrowded and you always have to wait for a machine :( BUT its a great price.. I go there too :)

Hey Ladies!  I hope everyone is doing well. 

I went to the Dr yesterday and found out that I DO have to have surgery.  So now I am stressing.  Yesterday after the Dr, I was feeling REALLY stressed and I went and got a pepperoni pizza and ate FOUR pieces!!  It was my lunch and dinner though because it made me super nauseous!

Now, I am worried that I am going to get off track -- Stress for me = bad food and/or not eating enough.  Any ideas to help me stay on track???

I have no idea what my menu is for today yet.  NO pizza though :)

Happy Monday everyone!  I was out of town this weekend.. It seems I have missed alot. 

I can totally sympathize with the lay off situation, I was out of a job from February 07 until November 07!  It was tough, and I am STILL playing catch up with bills.  Times may get tough, but you WILL get through it, I promise you that!

I have NOT been doing good with my calorie counting.  It is that TOM for me.

Tomorrow I go in for an ultrasound for a very large cyst on my ovary that has been there since November 07. So, I am a bit stressed about that too.

Anywho.. the weigh in.  I lost nothing, but I didnt gain either.  So I suppose thats a plus.

Sw: 183

Lw: 181

Cw: 181

I have decided I will post weights in the FIRST message.  I will do that tomorrow for sure!

I hope everyone has a great Monday and I am hoping I can check back in later today.  I am at work and I think I am going to be slammed!

Good Luck with your weigh ins!

Hey Ladies!

I have been a bad bad girl today.  Its been a stressful couple of days at work!!  I havent been drinking my water today like I should be.  I am only on my 2nd bottle.  AND for lunch, I had soup and a bag of doritos (one of the 99 cent bags).. Someone on here had me craving them!!! :)

I do have the list of members and their weightloss.  Please give me your opinion on where or IF you want me to post.  I was thinking about editing the very first post and entering the info in there?  Or would you all just rather it be posted as we go?  Or not at all posted :)

Let me know and I hope everyone is doing better than I am today!!

Good Morning!  Happy Monday =)

Red-- don't feel embarrassed because your mom said something about you counting calories.  I agree with Tiki 100% on that!  I know how you feel though.

Tiki- Tell me how those doritos were because they sure sound good!!!! =) Its ok to have cheat days. Mine was Saturday and I made a plate of nachos and a slice of cake.  But I wanted something super bad and come to find out the nachos I made weren't :) They just had some shredded cheese, tomatos and scallions on them and they were darn good!

Ok on to my weigh in:

Sw: 183

Cw: 181

Gw: 143

So, two pounds down since I started.  Not too shabby :) But regardless, even if I didn't lose 2 pounds, I think I would have still been happy.  I feel SO much better just eating healthier :) Except for today.. I have been super nausesous since last night and have NO idea why.  So needless to say, I am thinking my menu is not going to look so good today.  I am not sure what I can stomach.  I am thinking a mini toasted bagel for breakfast and soup for lunch.  Just super light things.

Anywho, good luck with everyone's weigh in today and no matter what the scale says, remember, you are getting HEALTHIER!!!!  And thats a start!

I'll check back in later.. Have a great day!

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone :)

I JUST  woke up and its 145 in the afternoon!!! Thats crazy.  I never sleep this long and i didnt even do anything last night!  Oh well.. Guess my body needed it :)

I have no idea what my menu will be today.. Since its so late,I will probably have a weird eating schedule for today.  AND today is my cheat day.  So I am having something full of calories tonight =) However, thanks to Tiki, I will be chewing my food 15-20 times :)

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Ok, so I am REALLY hungry.. Is anyone else having this problem?? I am sitting here at work thinking about food.. Luckily I have lots of low cal/low fat foods here. 

Let me post what I have had so far to eat:

Oatmeal

Banana

Tuna no mayo

Soup

Carrots

Almonds and Cheese

Orange

I have been drinking water since 8am, with the exception of some iced tea at lunch.

Just wondering you all have any ideas? Or maybe I am just bored at work? :)

Good Morning everyone :) It's almost Friday.. Yay!!!! :)

So, I was thinking that since our first weigh in is Monday that I will close the group on Sunday evening sometime?  What do you all think? OR should we keep it open and let anyone who wants to join in can do so?  Let me know.

Well here is my menu for today.. I think :) It could change a bit

Breakfast:

Weight Control Oatmeal and a Banana

Lunch:

Vegetable Beef Soup (or another type of soup)

Raspberries

Dinner:

Baked Pork Chops (1-2)

salad with gorgonzola cheese and blueberry pomegranate dressing

applesauce

Snacks:

Almonds with cheese

carrots

Banana

I havent figured out the calories yet, but I am sure its under my 1400.. Or I sure hope so :)

Have a great day!

redsee..

I really do think that they do help.  I may be wrong though.  Within 3 weeks of taking them, I had lost belly inches as well as inches off of my thighs (according to the woman at the weight loss clinic that is) :)  I am going to try them again and see how it works out.  I'll keep everyone posted.

Good Morning everyone!  Yummy sounding menus for today!! :)

Here is mine:

Breakfast - Whole Wheat Mini Bagel with Peanut Butter

Lunch - 1/2 Chicken tortilla with peppers, onions, tomatos, light chese

Dinner - 1/2 Steak with Squash, onions and a salad

Snacks: Yogurt, Banana, A few almonds and maybe something else :)

I am also starting to take Omega 3 and 6 pills along with a multi-vitamin.  I have had luck with the Omega's before.. So we shall see!

Hope everyone has a great day

Welcome to everyone that is signing up today :)

Here's my menu as of right now:

Breakfast:

1 package oatmeal - Weight Control

1 Breyers Peaches and Cream Yogurt

Lunch has me in a dilemma!  We are taking to of the ladies from the office to lunch at a place called the Purple Cow.  Its a hamburger joint known for great milkshakes!  I have no idea what to get.  I know that they have HUGE portions of everything.  I checked out their salad menu, but really, a salad at a burger joint??  :) Most of their salads have fried chicken strips and no low fat dressings.

I was thinking about a chicken quesadilla instead.  What do you all think?  Or should I go for a burger with no fries? Help!!!!!! =)
