I haven't posted in forever. I have just really been so busy with school and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier as I am going during the summer too. 

 anyway, I thought I should update you on my progress. I have stayed on track and tried to lose the weight by diet alone. yeah, I know working out is really needed, but with school it is like, where to find the time? but I do walk more on campus and take stairs when I can, so I am making more concious efforts to be more active even though it is not excersise.

ok. I am now at 132.4 lbs. This is the lowest I have ever been as an adult. It is so awesome. I actually think that just 10 more lbs and I will actually be at a good weight, but I will wait and see when I get there.

hey guys. I have been so busy with school. stressed. midterms. I can't even put sentences together. yep. it is hard being in college. anyway. my school just started a new biggest loser type club and I was really thinking about joining it. I went to a meeting a week ago, I told you I have been busy, and it was a lot like what I pictured a weight watchers meeting to be. lots of support. a ton of people, and all one goal. to get healthy and fit.

I am going to try it out and see how it works. today I completely crashed on my diet. I ate way too much of everything, but tomorrow is a new day, and I can't change today, I can only decide what I will make of tomorrow.

anyway, I hope everyone is having a better time than I am right now. I would love to hear updates and accomplishments. I know a lot of us are supper busy. ok, gotta go study for exams. 
Foods Is Hamburger pattie and cheese with ketchup a good choice? Mar 13 2008

Sounds good. I love cheese, but I have found some fat free cheese and I swear it tastes just as good if not better than the full fat ones. I think the Borden brand is the best so far for slices of any yellow cheese (sharp cheddar and American are amazing) and it is only 30 calories per slice.

When I make my hamburgers like that I always add a small salad on the side, and have some grilled onions on the burger too just to try to get more veggies in for the meal.

It really sounds healthy. nothing sounds high in fat or too high in sugar which is normally where the calories really come into play. it sounds full of fiber which equals filling. full of vitamins. I would say it is really good for you.  As long as you don't get tired of it I think it is great for you. just don't get into a rut with it.

and great job on trying to get healthier. It is a lot of hard work but it really is worth it.

soup is low calorie depending on what you put in it. If you are putting full fat ground meat, then yeah it will be higher in calories and fat.  350 calories sounds about right.

If you want to cut down on the fat, I would say to cook the meat separatly before hand, and drain the fat first. put a paper towel on top to drain a bit more fat/or rinse the meat in the strainer. some/a lot of fat will drip off and will not be added into your soup. Add the meat back into your regular soup and enjoy less calores and a heart healthier soup (because of the lower saturated fat).

I haven't been doing well this week at all. I am going to try to work out today, but it will probably just be some light weights sitting as I am getting dizzy easily (due to medicine).  at least that is more than nothing.

hi, I think this is a great challenge. I would love to join.

HT: 5" 1

GW: 130  for the challenge 

I was recently put on medicines for migraines that may make losing weight more difficult, so that is why my goal is not a lot.  I would love to lose these 10 lbs and keep them off in a super healthy way..

hey guys, I am checking in today. I have been suffering from migraines again lately. My doctor put me on a couple medicines, and one of the side effects could be weight gain. I didn't know it at the time that he prescribed it to me. He also gave me enough refills for 2 more months of medicine.

I am going to continue to try to lose the weight by eating right and excercising when I can. The preventative medicine makes me really tired some days, and if I actually get the migraines I have to take a different med which the side effect makes me really drowsy.

I will continue to keep track of my cals in, and try my best to work out. If I am gaining weight on the meds, I will ask to be put on a different one when the refills run out. Just wanted to let you guys know what's up. Still trying my hardest to continue to lose it.

also if any of those cows were sick with mad cow desease (very likely since they weren't really able to stand on their own), any one that ate the meat could get it. Mad cow prions can not be killed with heat. even the best sterilization techniques don't really work against the prion.

I hope the company gets a huge lawsuit against them because they put lots of people in a boat load of danger.

all this scare makes me want to be a veggie again

today, I am at 142.6  I actually thought I would maintain or gain this week, but I didn't. I will try to work out next week, I am still trying to get used to my headache medicines that make me really dizzy.

I have 3 tests and a 7 page paper due this week, so I am really stressed and I really haven't been logging anything lately. I just need to get my stuff back together.

I am weighing in at 144.0

I have not been able to work out lately. I was put on a new medicine for my headaches, and I can get very dizzy and lightheaded really easily. I just need to get used to the meds before I start working out again, so right now I am really working on the diet thing, really keeping to my calories, and eating really healthy in the meantime.

hey, sorry I couldn't log in this week. I had to go across the country for funeral of a family member. Lets just say eating healthy wasn't the priority especially being on the road for 23 hours each way traveling.

I haven't touched the scale in what feels like forever. I am getting back on track, it will just take me a while to get back in the habit of being healthy. I will weigh in on sunday like normal.
