U're not supposed to fast before the glucose test.  U cant eat / drink anything after u drink the liquid so thats only for 1 hr.  Otherwise, you should go about ur day as you normally would.  If u dont, the results wont be accurate since they need to see how your body processes sugar on any typical day

Well the machine doesnt account for that.  But when I set it up here, I tried both, no activity and very light and even with no activity I still get 1800 cals which is also about 300-350 higher.

HI girls, how r u? :)

I've been sick all week so no gym ((((( I'm really trying to be good with food so i think so far so good.  On my home scale even saw 146 this weekend ))))) before lowest that one got to was 146.5.  Need to get better and get my behind to the gym only I wont have time for that now bc Thur I'm leaving for vacation (whoooo-hooooo!!!!!!) so need to pack

elovinus - way to go with the trainer!!!!!!!! I wish I could get a deal like that.  Its definately a plus to have a trainer for the first few sessions to show you what to do so when you go alone later on, u know what to do.  I'd love to do that but my gym charges waaayyyyy too much for that :(

valerieeee - hope you grandma is OK

Hi everyone

Congrats whsthatlady!!!!

Well I did get to the gym on 10/1 and was 151 :(

But went yesterday and was 148.5 :):):):):).  I was stuck at 150-151 for like a month. 

So goal is still same - 145 by Nov 1st, maybe by some miracle i'll get to it )))))

Hi girls
where were you all last week?? :)
Way to go jelly!!!!!!

I've been not that good last week and weekend.  Had a wedding this sunday and ate NON STOP and last week also ate a lot :=(  Dont know what my gym scale will show today, havent been in the gym all weekend or yest.  My home digital scale has been showing between 147-148 and last week it went up to 149 but on Sat it was 146.5 - the lowest EVER.  Sunday it showed same ))) and today it was 147 so I'm really curious to get to the gym scale.

This week will be a bad week though, I can feel it.  Im fasting from Wed evening to Thur evening so def no gym Wed or Thur and THur night going out to big dinner after the fast and I KNOW i'll be eating a lot and then wont get to the gym till probably next Monday (((  Have another wedding on Sat and sister's bday on Sun ((( This is getting reallly annyoing b/c its totaly killing my diet and gym effort :(

Oh well... hopefully all parties will be over soon

Chocolate and cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Jelly!!!

I dont this I will be seing any change this week.  Im getting mad though bc i know i eat enouch calories.  Between all my snaks (lately i've started to eat almonds at work) and the bad dinner I made at home, I'm definately eating enough calories and I've been going to the gym at least 3 times a week, if not 4 :(:(:(:(  I did see a change in my home digital scale though this morning, actually past 2 days.  It says 147, and before the lowest it ever showed was 147.5 and like 148-149 over the last weekend.  Hopefully I'll go to the gym tomorrow and get on the original scale :)

However, I did take out my winter pants already and I had these 3 pairs of same pants in different colors that I didnt wear last winter bc they were too tight and they're fine now.  So that makes me happy :)

Good luck with another weekend everyone.  I think this one will be slow for me, no b-days thank god!!! :D

HI chelslaw1984

I personally think you need more cardio - thats the only way to loose weight.  30 mins is good for maintenance, but to loose, I'd do an hr of  cardio and then some weight training.  At least thats what I do.  Eat less carbs, especially at night and try to cut the snaks.  I also always need something in the evening so I buy fruits and drink fruity tea at night ))) Before I HAD to have chocolate after lunch AND dinner and it killed me if I didnt have it and in the evening I'd always have it with hot tea.  When summer started, I stopped drinking hot tea and also the chocolate.  Now I dont have it at all, at least not at home during the week.  I have a HUGE sweet tooth so if I'm out somewhere and we're having desert, I eat it, but at home, I dont eat sweets at all.  Also, I buy fat free ice cream and have a few spoons of that.  1/2 cup is like 80-90 cals and I do that only on the weekend if I have dinner at home so I know it doesnt really kill me and it actually tasted pretty good.

Hope this helps but generally I'd up the cardio and cut carbs b/c that really is the only way to loose weight  

Hi girls
I really hope i see a change this week.  I went to the gym yesterday, def going today and tomorrow and eating VERY good.  I havent weight myself since sat at the gym and dont want to do it untill sat again (its soooo hard to just walk past it) but i know i really should only do it once a week.   

THERMAL - I'm the same way - need to get on the scale whenever i see it.  I have one at home but i'm trying to stay away from it as well. :)  Its great that you see a change in clothes.  Measuring urself is a great idea.  I did it once a while ago, before starting the diet and gym but lost that paper, but i definately see the weight loss :D  

JELLYBELLY & VALERIE - i know how hard it is to keep up the gym when u're in school.  I gained like 10 lbs while i was in school bc i had absolutely no time to go to the gym.  I worked full time and had classes 3 times a week after work.  Just try to do what you can and dont stress over it.  School is definately more important so just go when you can and eat healthy. 

well... i actually made it to the gym on sat and saw that i lost 1lb :D so i'm sure excited... 4 more to go this month
SW - 150
CW - 149
GW - Oct 1st - 145

Hi everyone

GW - 145 (by October 1st) which i HIGHLY DOUBT i'll get to ((

Hope you guys are doing better than me lolol

Hi girls
Well weekend is almost here :) it was a loooooong week.  I went to the gym yesterday and did an hr of cardio (thank god my knee is OK but I really shouldnt be running, I got a "torn miniscus" so whenever I run, it hurts after) and really worked on my legs.  I only do the inside and outside of my thighs, want it to be nice and toned :) Did crunches as always, ate a little at night and felt really good. :)
I doubt I'll get to the gym tonight (got a docs apt) and def no gym this weekend.  Sat is my father-in-laws bday so thats going out to dinner and Sun is another friends bday party.  Got to try and be good :)

jellybelly7 - home made pizza - YUMM!!!! You should take a day off, your body needs to rest.  Now that summer's over and there's no more beach, I want to do cardio / weights Mon, Tue, Thur & Sat, then yogga on Wed and rest Fri and Sun.

valerieeee - dont worry about the extra .5lb.  The weight fluctuates so just keep you the healthy eating and exercising.  We'll all get there :) Your meal at the restaurant was good (I didnt even know they could make it grilled lol) and you only had half so thats awsome!!!

thermal - I love it when i feel sore after the gym, I feel like I definately did someting right.  Im trying to work more on my arms and legs now so I did my arms on Tue and still feel a little sore.  I'm thinking of getting a trainer to show me good routines for my legs and arms and then just doing it myself.

Hi girls... just wanted to share this with you ))

I got up today and i just feel skinnier ))))))))))))) I've never before done an hr on a treadmill and it felt great, i really hope i loose a lb or 2 this week.  when i got on the scale last week it was actually up 2 lbs, back to 152 (( but i was getting my period so i'm really hoping it was bc of that and yest it was 151 thank god )))).  Thur is my official weigh in (i log my weight in my logs every week) so i REALLY hope it'll go down :)

Hi girls

Weekend was OK, fri night had some sushi (as always) and then went out with friends to a seafood place and only had one crabcake )))) so super proud of myself.  Did pretty good on sat and kinda ok on sunday but no gym.  Definately going tonight through Wed and hopefully Thur also so I'd really like to see a change in the weight.  My aunt saw me last night and said that she sees the loss.  Its really only a few lbs but its definately motivating ))))

Hope we all do good this week :)
