180's club

anyone in the 180's and wanna join me for support? hopefully we'll be able to move down the 170's, 160's and 150's (if you wanna go that far) together!!!

I got "Acne Free" at Target.  So that is good.  As it is I already am Fairly Lactose free.  For me it is probobly just bad Genes and Hormones.  My Mom had the same acne in the same places... So you know.

Tonight is Gloved Sparing.  I feel much better but this dang cold is just hanging on!  So What I am going to do Is I'll wait untill it is almost the last match and I will wisper in his ear, "You DO know I have a crush on you, don't you?"  If he Smiles reall big and gets happy then I know my answer, if he Doesn't I can just play it off like, "But it's just a silly crush so no need to worry!" 

Wish me luck!!!!

189 this morning... I don't know why, My diet has been right on target!  But I did notice I am dehydrated... maybe I am bloating.  Anyway I'm not going to worry about it I know I am doing the right things.

Hi helplisa

Thanks for the congrats, not doing too bad so far which is mainly due to me being the only smoker in the house so I havent had to be around anyone thats smoking in front of me yet. Hopefully by the time I stop avoiding my friends and family I will be ok.

 Oh you will for sure.  I know when I quite before I did it cold turkey.  But I immediately replaced it with the gym, road biking and mountain biking with my ex-husband.  He didn't smoke either and was a strong person and quite encouraging - so it helped.  In fact I can remember just when I went cold turkey, I had a bad day at work - went directly to the store and bought a pack.  Didn't open them, but came home with them.  Ex-husband found them laying on top of my purse right out in the open (stupid me, should have hid the darn things) and tossed them out into the garbage - after he broke them up.  

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't being mean or anything - heck I could have stopped him, he did give me that chance.  But I let them go.

It does help to have others around you to help STOP you when it comes to addiction.  Just like with bad eating habits too.  

Now that I'm single I'm really doing this on my own.  I have supportive parents, a brother and sister-in-law who don't smoke and are healthy and thin.  But living alone is something different and demands more control and discipline.

What's strange is when I entered adult hood, I think I rebelled more then than I did as a teen!  lol  Then especially after the divorce, I thought - "cool, now I can eat what I want, when I want, do what I wish anytime - without feeling bad that I'm not doing what's healthy for me!"

So probably hundreds of McDonald's later - I realized one winter that I couldn't fit into my size 8's anymore.  Didn't bother me too much until I hit the 12 size mark.  But of course at that point it was too late to make a quick fix, or apply makeup that puts the shadows in the right place so your face doesn't look heavy ... etc.

Anyway...before I ramble on more without a cause...LOL  It's cool to have a place to come chat about it and put yourself out there.

But my point is; you'll be able to hang around friends soon, if not now even that smoke.  You may even discover that it burns your eyes and it makes you feel kind of sick to be around it too much.  That's the best smoke repellent if you ask me - nobody likes to feel upset to their stomach.  Or have their clothes stick to high heaven - you'll notice it more the farther along you go - you'll start to smell things better and notice when another smoker was "just" in the room but is now gone.  

You'll see!  

See ya'll later!

Hi everyone--sounds like you're all doing well. I'm hanging in there but still not in the 170s.  Maybe soon though...

Nas--I love Lucky Brand jeans. They fit my body-style perfectly. I have a hard time finding jeans that fit b/c my hips are like 42" and my waist is about 28". TOTAL PEAR! ;)  I can squeeze  my butt into a 10 or 12, but most of the clothes in my closet are 8-10. That was 20 pounds ago!!

Anyway, just checking in. :)

I am 177.0 today after eating Outback Steakhouse last night.

I was semi-good and only had like, half of the bread I wanted, water to drink, and no pasta! I had a chicken dish instead. AND I skipped on the bloomin' onion completely! Hurray!!!

I'm going to get to 170 by March 31st! I'm going to the gym tonight! I'm going to drag my boy as much as possible!!! AND I'm going to be smoking hot by the time I'm done! WOOO me!!

Love to all and back to work :( 

Dccd - Pear shape... yeah I understand it.  I just say go for butt shaping exercises.  My hips seemed to go down a bit with butt shaping exercises

Lilsmiter - ooo I want to learn to spar.  I'm stuck right now with weight, but it's probably because I've been lazy.

I am in the country, so all there is to do is walk up and down the road, which I don't like to do.  I miss treadmills!  I guess I'll work on maintenance right now while I'm at my parents' house.  It's the best I can do in this house.  My parents, while also trying to lose weight, do not leave me many options to maintain a healthy life.  I cooked tonight, and it's probably the healthiest I've eaten since coming to my parents' house.  I marinated the chicken in homemade balsamic vinaigrette, baked the crap out of it (oops) and made macaroni salad and green beans.  Good food... :-)

I played DDR but that's a quick way to tire me out.  I couldn't do it for 30+ minutes!  I did maybe like... 3 games... More like 10 minutes...

Leo, You need a jump rope.  For me it's never been much of an option because I have a bad knee but it is a cheep way to get a ton of excersize.

I Told my crush I liked him... He actually went Gorsh.  haha He seemed pretty pleased... and then I said, "well good night!" and ran for it.  But Hey First step.

Did pretty good sparing last night... Got a good bloody nose though!

Lilsmiter - I didn't think of that!  Heh heh, I'll stop to the dollar store and grab one of those cute rainbow ones :-P.  Also:  Very nice on the crush!  I hope he'll be happy with you even with a bloody nose.

I was pretty good about breakfast and lunch today.  I had a cup of soup for breakfast (homemade.... leftovers), and a turkey and cheese sandwich.  Instead of mayonnaise, I used light-ranch, which seems to be the healthiest thing I could put on it.  Very tasty though.

I have a plan to walk up and down the road today.  It's gorgeous outside, about 75 degrees.  I was in my car going to town and, with the windows down, I found myself breaking a little bit of a sweat!  I wish I had brought shorts this time.  Oh well.

At my parents' house, I've already gained about a pound.  I'm holding at 180 exactly.

I am currently 185 lbs, and want to be around 150 lbs.  I just 5 days, I lost 2.4 pounds.  I feel great, I just hope I can be highly motivated to continue for my goal. 

Woo!  Back down to 186! 

Flying out today, I HATE flying.  I am not really packing anything but my Gi and my sword... it's just a weekend.  I'll pick up a pack of panties while I am down there and a T-shirt from the festival.  I hate packing too...lol. 

 We Won the Costume contest yesterday! WOO I should see some pictures sometime today and will put them on my profile if I get the time.

My Baby Girl (Fizgig my cat) is at the Vet today, she got spade yesterday and all of her shots, they are going to board her untill I get back.  I just don't want her home alone after a surgery.  But I missed her alot last night and this morning.

Long day today - lots of errands to do.  I must write them down so I don't forget one.  I never forget my sister's errands, probably because she reminds me every five minutes.  But my errands always go forgotten, and I end up having to go back into town another day and pick it all up.

I'm going back to college tonight.  It's strange to go on a Friday night but my sister has a meeting in the town where my college is, Saturday morning, so instead of getting up at 5 a.m. to get to her appt, we just have to get up at 7 and be there by 8.  Much better! But my sister is VERY spoiled, even at 18 years of age, and a lot of the stuff I had planned for tonight she doesn't want to do.  She wants to go to a sports bar and watch the UNC-v-Duke game.

Still at 180, and probably going to stay that way for a few more days.  Fixing my metabolism is going to take some work!

Anyways... need to pack up.  TTYS

176.6 today, 34.5% bf and 47%h20

Tired and sore. My neck is killing me for some odd reason. Going to force myself to go workout tonight for a long time. I need to just kick some ASS with the weight lifting.

leo~ Remind your sister the way she reminds you. Be just as annoying :D Bwhahaha

lilsmiter~ Oh I want to see the costumes! I'm a fashion freak, I love drawing clothes and looking at them...but probably because I've always been heavier, I don't like the way they look on me :\    Hope Fizgig (so cute!) does well :) 

178.8 today. It was so weird not seeing something in the 180's. Haha, I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

Hope you are all doing well!

Have had a horrible week.. and I might not post for awhile. A very close family friend was murdered on Monday.. so obviously I'm stopping my diet and everything until things get better over here..I'll post when I can to check up on everyone and say Hi though.. :) I'll still be writing in my journal, but probably not checking the forums for quite some time..

I hope everyone is doing well and great job on your diets! I'll be back in a couple of weeks. Take care everyone

Nasuoni - why don't you relax tonight?  If it hurts, let your body heal.

Sharky - I felt the same way about just beneath 180!  But it's so exciting, isn't it?

Kirie - Oh my!  I'm sorry, Kirie.  Seems like everybody's getting murdered nowadays.  Right now in NC we see the UNC Student president's murder, a Duke murder, and NC State's robberies.  It's horrible!  I hope you do alright, and my condolences to you.

I just got back to school, and I bet I can get back on the bandwagon... for a week... then Easter.  Lots of food with that.  My focus just has to remain on healthy eating and making sure to get some exercise in.  I've been lazy since I've been sick, and now that I'm healthy, catching UP to the wagon is the real battle.

I'm up to 180.3.

I think today I was lucky.  I only had 1311 calories (according to cal-count) today, just because I ended up less hungry at the restaurant for dinner than I thought, with a grade of B-. 

I can't eat near enough protein that is recommended for me, as much as I try, unless I REALLY REALLY think about it.  I looked up that for a sedentary person I need to have about 65g protein for my weight.  Today I got up to 53.  I suppose it's not quite so bad considering I've been particularly sedentary for the past few weeks.

I seemed to get down to 179.8 during the day for some reason.  I'm happy to see the #7 but... I can't explain the random weight loss throughout the day.

177.4 I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. So frustrating.

Kirie~ ((hugs)) I hope you have a large support system and that you have someone there for you. We'll be here on the net for you as well :)

Leo~ I relaxed and feel much better. Did exercise Friday night, and went on a (short) hike on Sunday. Wanted it to be longer but my friend had to stop as her ankles hurt. I'm thinking the weight loss is maybe water loss? We breathe out water and lose it through our skin during the day. Could that be it?

Nasuoni - me too... 177 to 182 for me.  It's so evil!

I went to work out, but it was hurting my left knee, so I had to cut it shorter than I'd have liked. 

you gals are awesome...seriously.  lol...i'm 188 but i'm a guy that's 6'0 tall.  But that's not why I came on here.  Even though I sometimes feel reluctant to workout, even though I may be injured...even though it seems like I workout and the weight stays the same.  I know it's going to be all right.  The reason why I know is because I push myself, and I don't stop.  when you workout...dig deep.  don't just go in the gym, and do stuff that you know you can get through...because you'll get through it, and realize that it was a complete waste of time...challenge yourself to do something a little bit harder, or if you do one exerceise...change it up a bit.  If you're doing arm curls for example, and you always do 10 arm curls...CHALLENGE yourself, and do 20 this time.

good luck ladies...I support what you are doing 110%

Much respect,

 

Potter

I think I love that Potter guy ♥♥♥

hehe :D

On the down side, my migraine is back, there was an evil witchy woman (EWW) that was horribly mean to me and yelled at me on the phone today (I handle phones at work), and I just want to go home and curl up in a ball and sleep the world away.

Sounds fun.

AWWW *hugs Nasuoni*

I had a light workout... I was just so tired that all I could get in was 35 minutes of the stationary bike, and 10 of the elliptical.  Painfully tired I am.
