Hey guys! Where's everyone been (myself included)??

The good enws is that I broke 133 on Friday and made it to 132.6!!!! I hope I  didn't compeltely undo myself this weekend, its been crazy. Hopefully this losing streak will continue now! 

Good job Angel!  Keep it up (well, not the undoing :p ).

Haha, midterms are acommin' (block scheduling). Hope my stress does not equal weight gain. :/

Good job on your race Madhul. :) That must take a lot of will power to complete (it seems so boring

Hm... I drink a lot of water. I am 5'3, 120ish pounds (fluctuations = my death), and drink like 80 fl ounces of water (basically minimally) a day. Is this dangerous?

How has everyone been?

Is it dangerous to?? drink 80 oz. of water a day? No way. That's great! Now that I'm not doing Slimming Minis I don't keep a close count of the water, but I'm sure it's about 90 oz. a day :)

Well done on your 5k Madhu! I'm not much of a runner, but I do know what a great workout it is!

Hey..figurethefat...good one congrats on breaking the 133 line..Hi duzziee..thanks a lot...yeah...i did it ..very proud of myself.. will be going for anotehr one :)..take care keep posting...

Hey! Where's everyone been!!

Hi Everyone

This thread is getting a bit lost these days. I'm not posting regularly because of maintenance and I think Ann is still away. Has everyone been sticking to their healthy eating and exercise plans?

I'm enjoying the November Exercise Roll-Call, it's easy to keep track of, yet there is some accountability. My water drinking has dropped off some this past week, but I'm still getting over 64 oz. a day.

Yesterday we went shopping and I was very good to buy almost nothing for myself, but I did get a pair of ankle boots that were on sale. We ate out for lunch and dinner! For lunch I kind of treated myself to a veggie pizza and a salad. I still wasn't hungry for dinner... but we went to Ruby's Diner. I had never been to one and was pleasantly surprised by the attention to vegetarian needs. The Skinny lunch turned out to be the perfect meal: a grilled veggie patty, some lowfat cottage cheese and a small bowl of fresh fruit!

Is there a weighin this Monday??

I've been sticking to my plan pretty well. Exercising not as much because my exercise partner has a lot of stuff going on lately and I've had a lot of asthma problems so I'm avoiding exercise for a little bit - doctors orders - but I'm being good food wise.

I am able to fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in over a year and a half so I feel GREAT!! :)

 

After weeks of the scale failing to move, I have finally lost a lb!! Now at 121lbs, that's 9lbs away from my goal weight. I would really like to reach my goal weight by the end of this year but with how slowly the weight is coming off I'm not sure that is going to be possible but will try anyhow.

I am slowly starting to drink more water (without the added squash), it will take awhile before I'm a full blown water drinker but we need to start somewhere.

Congrats Naija!!      

aye yie yie

I just don't get it.  Well actually I do get it, I think.  Rather, it's just not fair.  As of a week ago, I had pretty much gotten to maintenence, 117 lbs.  2 lbs still to go, no problem.  Goal nearly accomplished....figured out the whole system.

We took my son to Washington DC this last weekend, and I ate like crap.  Actually it wasn't what I ate so much as it was how much I ate.  Hummus, Hummus everywhere.  Where I llive there isn't a restaurant for 60 miles that serves hummus, my favorite food ever....so to be in a city where it is commonplace....I just couldn't get enough....hummus with and on everything....Actually it was just nice being in a city that seemed to at least try to cater to vegetarians...   Instaead of piece mealing together some bland dish, which is what I normally do, there were honest to goodness vegetarian options in the menu!

I couldn't even begin to log what the calories actually were...such odd foods...all at restaurants..no idea how (and no desire) to calculate...  It was weird not being accountable for the first time in months.

So, Let them eat cake!!

Back up to 123lbs.  5 stinking lbs in one weekend...it is also ttom for me..I am hoping that's at least a few of the lbs...Weighed myself Monday (122.8) and today, Tuesday (123).

Not a very motivating story, other than I am back on the wagon today....back to square one.....

That's all you can do sometimes.  :)

Well I weighed in Monday at 132.6.   Not where I want to be at all, but better than going up.

Thanksgiving is goign to be a test

Thanks for the congrats 5000theangel!!

As you said better for the scale to stay the same then go up! The scale refused to move for me for a long time.

Balisima - I totally feel your story, I have had so many weekends where I have gone a bit crazy and ended up back at square one, for a time it seemed I was spending the weekdays losing the weight I had gained on the weekends but the good news is that is has come off before and it will come off again. We just have to always pick ourselves up and start again.

I love homous too!!! That usually causes me to eat too much bread cos I spread it on very thick!

It seems the closer I am to my goal, the harder it is to stay motivated and focussed, I just don't seem to have the drive at 121lbs that I did at 164lbs, plus the weight is coming off ever so slowly now so it knocks my motivation even further.

alrighty then, Wednesday's scale reads 118 lbs...  Sold, I'll take it!!  lol 

So, hmmm, definitely will not be weighing myself during ttom ever again....  Plus, I had probably loaded up on sodium from eating out over the weekend.

All is well and harmonius once again.  My husband is probably more relieved than I am....he doesn't have to look at that sad long face from Monday and Tuesday anymore... 

Naija - I could eat hummus...by the spoonful - and yes, when i do put it on something...it is ridiculously more than should be applied.  My husband will look at me with a sheepish grin....and a kind of wide eyed nod and I know he's thinking..  "hmmm, yeah hummus is a healthy option...but when the slice of bread is screaming in agony trying to support itself....I'm thinking ..maybe not so healthy"  

he never says it...but I can tell...

whatever  ;)

Yeah, my drive isn't as obsessive anymore either...with only a few pounds to go...it really doesn't matter the pace to me..  if it takes a few months...that's fine, too.  As long as I don't go in the wrong direction....I feel pretty good.

It's been awhile, so I thought I'd throw in a post. Just after my last post, on the 10th of Nov. I stopped logging my daily food. Since then I haven't gained any weight, pretty much staying around 109.

I hurt my little toe moving some furniture so I haven't been as active with exercise... I'm wondering if the shorter days and also cooler weather has alot to do with that too. Anyone else feel less motivated with the days get shorter??

I'm still drinking water, maybe about 64 or 72 oz. everyday, and eating good stuff. My boss offered me some coconut cream pie today but I wasn't interested. Instead I had a banana, some yummy yo-plus vanilla yogurt, and some Kashi Go-Lean Crunch. I was thinking it would simulate a Banana Cream Pie if I layered it all into a parfait glass. Yumm. It was good. Or better yet, use some crushed up lowfat Honey Grahams instead of the Kashi G-LC. I think eating healthy helps me be more creative in the food preparation department. I'm always looking at recipes and saying, I could make a "healthy" version of that.

Ok, how are you all doing? Still motivated, or what?

Hey guys. I'm still motivated - sort of.  I weighed at 129 right before Thanksgiving....and now I'm back at 135!! :/   Also been eating a LOT of sodium so I have to try and cut that back too.

I think I'll be more likely to try when I'm working for money again and can afford to buy more healthy foods instead of having to live off things that fit in my non-existant budget.

 

How's everyone else doing? 

hey guys how are you doing?? I was on vacation so could not read or post anyhting :)...I am mainiting my lbs btw 119-120...i have to start my workout again to reach my required goal...and congrats to all for staying motivated :)

Madhu

I haven't been doing extremely well for the past few months.  Have managed to gain 16 lbs and right now, I'm hovering over 133.  I have a lot of work to do and it's difficult for me to stay motivated during these dark winter months. 

I've been eating healthy on and off.  Just need to continuously do it for the long haul.  I HAVE to find the motivation to go to the gym!

Anyone out there, still in need to lose 10-30 lbs to reach their goals??

I've still got 12-15 to go before I reach my goal. :/
