Friends for Losers (the good kind of loser....)

Hello all!!

A big shout out to my girls from the "Lose 10 lbs by date, 2008" post.   ( :    Since starting that post, I am down almost 18 lbs.  

People asked about a new post.  Here it is! 

Weekly Friday weigh-ins?
Motivating friends? 
Friendly challenges to get moving, eat and drink right, and be conscious of all we do?

This is the place for you!

All old friends --JOIN ME!!!!  ---  new friends always welcome!

Actually, I hope that this post can bring people in from all my different cc groups....that way when we all meet one day, it will be like one huge reunion show!  ( :

TODAY WEIGHT:  166 
GOAL WEIGHT for next payday (7-20):  160

I admire your awesome life, chris.   ( :

And for jogging on the treadmill.  I cannot do that, for both safety and boredom reasons.   =P   Still wish I had one though --- for rainy days and all.......

C25K rocks!  how are the knees treating you? 

How is everyone?  Weigh in tomorrow!   ( ;

So far so good...of course I've jogged a total of about 15 minutes in an entire week! lol!

I say start slow so no burn out?  ( : 

I was 162 last week, 161 this morning, despite feeling like death the last few days. 

Hope all you losers are well and happy!!!

Sunday church was at a park and there was a brunch and then outside service. There were decent choices at the brunch but I still got WAY more cals than I normally would consume at breadfast. DH & SS don't understand the concept of 'brunch' and wanted lunch when we got home anyway. :\

It was INSANELY humid here yesterday.Couldn't even think of an outdoor workout and my treadmill is on our enclosed porch so it's even hotter there. We went to an evening movie where I had much less popcorn than last time but still too many Junior Mints -- DH loves them at movies but my stomach always feels badly so why bother? Grr, me! Our late dinner wasn't too bad but the total effect was the scale said 136.2 this morning.

Today I'm trying to keep my water/tea/fiber WAY up to get rid of it! DH told me it was still really hot this morning so I decided to go to the college after work to walk/run. I hope I can stay enthused until the end of the day.

Well, I didn't stay 'enthused' but I did it anyway!

YAY FOR DOING IT ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   : D you rock!!!

I bought 75 Kashi GoLean bars for 18 cents each off of Ebay last week. I don't usually have an afternoon snack but tried one of them yesterday. Oddly enough, I seemed to have symptoms of low blood sugar (all shaky) about 1.5 hours later. ? The only other thing I can think of is that the decaf cappuccino I had after lunch wasn't decaf. The Kashi bars have 9 g of protein and 6 g of fiber, it couldn't have been it, could it???

I do not think it was the Kashi bars.  I eat at least 2 a day.  I bet your decaf was not decaf!!!!  I am now drinking caf coffee and I am shaky and getting a headache.  I do not know why I insist on drinking caf coffee at work??  I am going to eat my Kashi bar now!!

 

I decided I didn't have enough data points -- so I just ate another one today, sans coffee. Mu ha ha!

killer freaking deal, chris!   wowee.   I haven't tried the Kashi ones -- good?   I like the Fiber One ones and they have a Walmart knock off now that's good too. 

I don't THINK it should make you feel cruddy like that, but let us know how the experiment went today!

anyone out there, losers?    ( :

I weighed in at 157.6 this morning and started TTOM, so.....   maybe actually lower.   

Not too bad.   I might actually make 150 before the end of the year and be able to keep it going in the New Year.  

Hope all of you are well and happy!    ( : 

129.7

I do not know what to say other than I am in my normal hover pattern.  I have worked out twice this week with weights and rode my bike outside.  I will also lift weights on Saturday.  I did take some time off from working out so at least I maintained.  I am really going to stay working out and try to get in the 128s.  I have just been so unmotivated and fatigued; it starts metally then effects (ok teachers is it effect or affect) me physically.....blah.

The weather in the evenings have been delightful but too warm during the day.  I really do like this time of year eventhough we are having abnormally warm weather.

hey puppy -- sorry you're blah.   ) :   (affect)   ( :

You're already so low --- it; hard to keep losing at that point.  Hell, I am there at 157.   It used to fall off LBS at a time, now it's ounces....   

Keep your chin up.   I know 128 is coming your way, girl!!!!

134.6

I'm pretty sure that if you look up stupid in the dictionary this weekend my face will be there! I was holding on by my fingernails until late last evening when I had to bake cutout sugar cookies as decorations for a church dinner today. I put them too close together and they lost their shape -- so I ate them...like 8 of them!!! I still felt half sick this morning from it. Then of course today was the church dinner. ehh.

I started yesterday so well: I got up at 6:30 and did my C25K, ate healthy stuff for breakfast and then we drove 2+ hours away to show SS a couple of colleges near Pittsburgh. I think I got mentally tired from all of it. I just hope I can get a better attitude the rest of today. I can do more stupid stuff or I can get busy and behave like I give a darn!

you can do it, chris.   ( :     I vote no more stupid stuff.   xoxox

I came close to allowing stupidity to rule-- I even went to the grocery store with the intention of buying french fries AND cheesy poofs. I decided on semi-harmless pierogis and a small bag of fat free chips to share w DH in the evening. I felt like I got the 'junk' craving out of my system but didn't do too much damage.

I was working on the walls in one of the bedrooms all afternoon so I think that's why I felt the urge to splurge yesterday. I KNOW I need to plan better 'rewards' for times like that --bubble bath or something. Being really tired is not a good thing in Chrissy's world, my brain shuts down all but the 'feed me' part I guess.

One up side to the day was that I was were the jeans I wore for work in New Orleans and they're getting pretty loose. DH pants'd me as I was going up the stairs to bed. LOL! I didn't realize they were quite that loose!

Friday was a very crazy night.  Hubby and I have a group of friends that are about 10 yrs younger then us.  We went out with them and bar hopped.  I was dead for the whole day saturday and I have to say i did not drink that much.  We had a limo until 2am then went to Taco Johns and I had 1 taco and another of my nemisis.....potato olays.  I did not work out on saturday but I gave it my all yesterday....lol.  I am getting way too old for that kind of night. 

My weight this morning was 132.4 which was not surprising because I just feel bloated and my rings are tight on my fingers.  Hopefully by tomorrow I will have lost the water weight.  I better go fill my water bottles for the day!

Chris you are still holding steady and with this being a lifestyle change rather than just a diet it will be slow and you still need to have some goodies.....I finally figured that out and life is good.  Yes, 8 cookies would make me ill also.  Give me some Nutter Butters and I would tell you a different story!!!! 

I do want to get to 125 because I do have fat to lose but I am not so dilusional to think I am going to get below 120 or even to 120 although that would be so woderful!!!  I do think I need to focus more on inches then the scale.  Chris have you measured yourself lately considering your pants are falling off...w/hubby help....lol. 

Puppy, it sounds like a really fun time over the weekend but I KNOW I'm not up to those hours anymore. I think I'd probably cry after 2 AM! In college, it was at those kind of hours that I used to be responsible for the deaths of full bags of M&M's! Ewwww.

The last time I measured (just about a year now) I weighed about 132. I gained over the winter and now I'm almost back to that point. I don't really consider it any great acheivement that I've finally lost last winter's weight. If I can behave myself long enough to lose about 5-7 more pounds, I would be happy to maintain there. I won't be any stick of course, but that's not my goal.

 

is this post dying?   ) : 

weigh in if you see this!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ( :

 

154.6 this week, I think that's a total of close to 8 this month, maybe just 6+, but not bad. 

 

Hope all you losers are doing well! 

Yeah, I'm bummed about that. (poss. of the post dying)

133.1

I had a mini-tummy bug yesterday so I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I beat 134. HOWEVER, it made me happy anyway.

I hope to log on some this weekend. I really need to get back into a good rhythm. First thing tomorrow: C25K!
