180's club

Hi all.

Finally back to the gym this morning - 25mins of the treadmill (8mins running - yeah hah!)

LadyEliz - you're doing so well!

Am too scared of getting on scales - will give it a week of being good first ;-)

LadyE - that's funny how your hubby doesn't want to give you the scale on weigh in day! 

newlook - Good job on the treadmill!

Had to cut back on my cals today, ate too much yesterday.  Stress level WAAAAAYYYYY up!  I'm ok though.  If I could just exercise this would be a no brainer.

good night!

Tammy

Quick check in...172.5!  Still goin steady even though it's TTOM!  I will check in more this weekend.

Weighing 169 today.  I was up bc of stress eating, but got it under control again. 

I've started drinking Whey protein shakes too. I just don't eat enough protein. Hope it helps me out.

I can exercise now, so here I go!!!  This will be the first day for me.  Hope I can hang in there!  I'll let ya know how it goes. 

Things are starting to get under control again

I had a great lunch today... onion, bell pepper, 2 tsp Habanero sauce, 2 ounces of pork and a little tomato. It was heaven. Even better, stir-fry for supper, and my mother is helping out by omitting rice tonight as she knows I am a fiend for it.

It doesn't add up to enough calories, so I guess I'll have to snack *sighs dramatically* What a drag, lol.

As an aside, I'm getting jaw surgery (I do not know when at this time) and I will have to have my jaw wired or screwed shut to prevent movement for a while. Not being able to chew, I'll have to drink my meals for that time, and was wondering if Ensure or Carnation would be good options?

Good to see you guys are all doing so great! Keep it up, and have a good day!

Well, so much for exercising.  I have torn the miniscus in my right knee!  I put a pic of it in my journal.  It's so swollen and it hurts alot!  I finally can do some exercise and now I can't again.  I slid on the ice a couple days ago, that's what happened.

Sharky~ sorry to hear about the surgery.  I'll be having surgery next month.  Ensure is always a good bet.  I don't know how it tastes though.  Just have heard good things about it.

Hi all!

Momof2 - poor you - you're not having much luck at the moment. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Have you all put ur decorations up? i hace done the house and the tree, so far avoiding eating anything very bad - although have to admit to a hot chocolate with Baileys in it ;-)

Haven't managed the gym this weekend - so am planning to be back there tomorrow - as have a day off for xmas shopping!

Have a good day.

I've been trying to get my kis to put up the tree for a week now!  Maybe today! lol  Decorated outdoors like a month ago, I think it was.  It looks so nice!  Blue and white lights are so pretty, I think. 

I bought some xmas candy....had a few little things.  Nothing big!  It's not busting my diet though!

Woke up thru the night with my knee hurting.  It swelled and made the ace bandage too tight.  So I ripped it off and rubbed it til I fell asleep again.  And everytime I moved, I think I woke up.  I'll be like this for about another month.

I have to schedule my surgery around my hubby's.  He's having surgery on his shoulder (torn rotator cuff).  He's been having to put his off bc of work, so I'll schedule around him. 

Hi all,

Its all gone a bit quiet! Are you still out there?!

Think I have lost a couple of pounds - not sure how though - so will def need to help it along with the gym!

Hows everyone doing?

Hey new look!!  How's it goin?  I am still losin steadily little by little.  My last wt. was 172.5!  I am thrilled!!  Just trying to dodge the chocolate chip cookies and other goodies!  I just save it for the weekend, that is if everyone in my house doesn't eat everything before the weekend!!!!!  I am slowly putting up my decorations.  To tell you the truth, in my garage, I still have some Halloween decorations up!

Momof2-How are you feeling?  Knee any better? Whey protein shakes are great!  I drink them every morning for breakfast!

Sharky-why jaw surgery?  I know alot of people who like Ensure.  It tastes better than it used to. How long will your jaw be immobile?  Shoot, that'll make you lose wt. right there, I wouldn't even be sweatin the wt. too much right now if I were you.  Enjoy food while you can!  Not meaning to pig out, but you know what I mean!

Hi!  My knee is still pretty bad.  The more I walk, the more it hurts and swells. So I try not to walk too much.  Just sometimes it's pretty tough to just lay around.  It won't get better til I get surgery next month.  I'm gonna be layed up on my b-day!  It's the 25th of January.  Oh well, I have to get this knee taken care of and the sooner the better.

I'm still drinking my shakes.  At least one a day.  I decided to maintain for a while since I'm a mess with my knee and my trying to get my back to stop hurting so much.  I upped my calories and I've put on a few pounds.  I guess that's normal from what I've read on the maintaining forum.  So hope it settles down soon.

Have a good weekend everyone! Talk to ya'all soon!

Momof2- Just rest and take care of that knee. I had knee surgery when I was younger...the technology and recovery are so much better now!  The shakes are great!  What brand do you use?

Newlook- When do you weigh in to see how much you've lost? Sometimes the scale can be disappointing though because you feel thinner, are thinner measurement wise but the dumb scale says otherwise.  If you are feeling thinner/more fit, that is what matters!

I am so excited today.  I weighed 171!  I am getting to really like weigh in day.  How refreshing is that?  I never thought I would say that, it is like a weight lifted off of my shoulders. Now if I could only get into an exercise routine.  I love working out with my friend but she is always so busy and her life is so hectic, it is very sporadic to say the least!!

CC has helped me so much, and the people I have met here are such an inspiration/motivation to me!  I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you and that I don't think I would be doing so well if it weren't for my friends here!

Hi all,

Hurrah - am back to the gym! after a 2week break i went yesterday and this morning. I found it tough - but felt so good after going :-)

Its my work xmas do tomorrow so really hoping i'm goning to get in the dress ok!

How are you all doing? When do you finish work for xmas?

Hi guys.

I was pretty sick last weekend - actually was down to 155.5  lol.  But....... then I went to Egypt with the husband and was back up to 160 today. DAMMIT!  Oh well - figure if I can hover around 160 for the holidays I can make another good push to get down under 155 in the new year.

Hope you are all doing well.

Hi I'll join you.

I only joined recently and originally thought I was 168 pounds as thats what i was last time i got weighed and as I had no significan changes to my body just guessed I still was, Imagine my surprise when I actually weighed myself yesterday and discovered I am actually 189.

Feels better now i've admitted it lol but I felt so down and unmotivated when I saw the numbers on the scales just wanted to eat everything in site but I didnt

 I would love to join also. I am so down right now and at 185. Almost the highest I have ever been in my life. I feel the same way and just seem to want to eat. Almost like it's a competition to see how huge I can get. That is until I go to take a shower and see myself and HATE it.

Hi everyone!! 

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas!!!  Hope you're all doing well!!

Karey

Hi all! Merry Christmas.

Hi Chrisnliz - welcome - its always great to have a new member! You're about the same weight as me (been hovering in low 180s for last couple of months). Am planning on new Year - New start!

Hope you all enjoyed your xmas days. I had a couple of comments yesterday about my weight - nothing like having a supportive family....! Oh well, mustnt let it bother me, will just have to try extra hard.

But only after I;ve enjoyed some xmas treats ;-)

newlook ~ You mean someone had the nerve to say something about how much you weigh when you're trying to lose weight?  GRRRRRR  If they only knew how hard you have been trying.  :(  Makes me wanna slap 'em!

I went for my 1st walk in a couple months.  It felt really good even though the last mile was rough on my legs and back.  I made it though without having to call hubby to come and get me.  I told him to keep his phone by him in case.

I walked a couple hours, burned 650 calories.  I needed that!  I've gained some weight over the last week.  I do feel alot of it is sodium though.  My rings are tight, that's a sign of water weight for me!  So I'll wait a few days and check the scales again.  Those subway subs are loaded with sodium! :(

Hi momof - well done on your  walk - at least you can start getting back into it! families - they are a pain arent they? wont let it bother me tho - just got to try and get back into the gym again.

Hows everyone else doing? Hope you're enjoyig your Xmas hols! :-)

I'm doing well...just tryin to not overdo it with all of the holiday stuff.  I am getting back on track tomorrow cuz I really really need to lose a few more to fit into my holiday dress!  I didn't weigh in this week because frankly I was afraid to.  I will weigh in this Friday though because it is the end of my New Years challenge. 

Momof2 good for you walking, I am sooo unmotivated to actually exercise!

Newlook-families suck!  You are working so hard, don't let them get to you!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!
