150's group...daily updates

Bummer...can't work out like usual this morning...have to drop off a car at the shop with my husband and then have committments at my son's schools...

I hate getting off my routine...glad we have an elliptical...going to have to get on it tonight after the boy's hockey.

Goal today is to stick with 1200-1300 calories in case the workout doesn't happen....

Of course I woke up starving...going for the protien bar or the oatmeal...can't decide.

Good morning and have a great day all!

I'm 158 that's a lot since I'm short

welcome infincat :) good luck on your journey to a thinner happier healthier you :)

okay, so i HATE  birthday parties.. i have absolutely no self control.. :(  they had deli sandwiches there and i ate way too much of it, and then ate a piece of cake..  drank water while i was there though...  not sure how to log the deli sandwich, which was mostly bread, with a little bit of meat and cheese on it.. and some added spicey mustard...  so i just logged a foot long subway club, and added american cheese slices...   hopefully i am not too far off on that, and added one piece of white sheet cake...  ugh, puts me over 1500 calories for the day, supposedly i burned 1900 today though, so i should be alright?? maybe??  hopefully  i wont gain at least :(  ugh...  god here i am always telling ya'll to use will power, and what do i do??  ugh...  i should practice what i preach.. i am stilll sooo stuffed and we ate at like 1 pm... and its 5 pm now...   yuck...  i feel like i need to just puke, cos its all sitting at the top of my stomach...  ugh.. (dont worry, i dont do that)...  hope everyone else is having better luck this weekend...

my sodium is waaaaaaaaaaaaay high :(  ugh and look at those calories :(  but hey my fat, protein, and carbs are about at the percentage they should be at, haha... 

Good morning!

unicat, I think you are very near ready to leave this group--aren't you excited?!  You know, we could start a new thread and title it "Nearly 140's club" lol!  Maybe that's the kick in the butt we all need to get over our next hurdle--a little positive motivation!

I hear you about parties--they are the bane of my existence!  Last night we were watching the hockey game and I snarfed 3 slices of pizza--when I could have happily stopped at 2--the 3rd piece made me overfull too, so my tummy was icky :p.  Today I was started out good--had my oatmeal and egg whites instead of going out for breakfast--me and my bf usually have breakfast out on Sun, but we decided to behave with our diets and wallets! lol! 

poohct and unicat--don't get down about slip ups!  we all do it! (me as much as anyone).  Reading everyones posts helps me too, cus I see I'm not struggling alone!

waterwaterwater!
Dee

thanks dee...  yeah, i am near, but i think it will be at least a week if not more...  gained a half a lb from yesterday, but am hoping its water weight due to all the sodium and not actually fat, lol.... a girl can dream right?  and i know alllll about pizza...  i always tell myself no more than 2 pieces and always scarf down at least 3 cos it tastes soo dang good, and then i am overstuffed....

trying for a good start this morning, having eggbeaters w/mushrooms, onions, and a little bit of cheese for breakfast...  we will see what the rest of the day brings... hubby wants to go out and do something today, needs to get his mind off work....

~Brigitte~

I'm 5' 2" and I weigh 155.  I hope to get down to 135 which is healthy for my height. 

I hear ya infincat12.  I'm 5'2 and 157.  I'm hoping to get down around 125-130 range and I'll be happy.  I've gotta stay away from sweets to get there tho.  Right now I'd just be happy to be in the 140's! LOL :)

Ugh, speaking of parties last night was a doozy. Baby back ribs, beer, chips and dip, really great pie (mine if I do say so myself :)

I ate 3000 calories. Yikes. So much for being good over the weekend.

Here's to starting over. Oh - and I refuse to weigh myself for a few days. Just way too scary.

OMG mrswuktisch, that sounds sooooo good! :)

Well, it is much easier to be good when I am at work--you know, routine and all.  The weekends are killer!  Although, I only had wings friday, pizza on saturday, but I managed to stay within 2000 or so cals each day--not bad, but the food choices were! 

waterwaterwater today everyone!

Dee

wow... i made bad choices this weekend too.. :(  first that bday party, then yesterday i started off good, but i ate popeyes naked chicken for lunch, which i later found out has something like 790 g of sodium for 3 strips, and i ate 6... which pushed my sodium up over like 3300 for the day :(   and my total calorie intake for the day wasnt so good either.. it was kinda low...  i dont think i hit 1100 cal for the day... i am hoping that because i had sooo much sodium high food this weekend that it is the ONLY reason the scale says 152 this morning.. ugh.. why do weekends have to be soooo hard :(

gonna definitely be drinking LOTS of water today Dee :)  gotta get all that sodium out of my system..

see, told ya i would be in the 150s for a while longer ....  stupid roller coaster ride is getting me fed up....

~Brigitte~

I'm right there with ya--scale said 152.5 this morning.  I think I'll cheat and not log it lol!  I want to wait a week anyhow--I have so much daily fluctuation that its enough to drive me insane!  I really try to take the overall picture into account, but it can be hard.

I bought a weight bench with 80 pounds of weights yesterday!  Im soooo excited I can't wait to try it out tonight!  I have committed to staying with this training program for the 6 weeks, and doing the exercises when it says--a MWF thing--so week one is almost complete! 

good luck with the weights dee.. i have a weight system (its part of my elliptical, proform crossover is what its called).. that sits in the back of my livingroom, and i think i have used it maybe a total of 3 times since the beginning of january... you would think with this huge machine sitting in my livingroom i would be more likely to use it..  ugh.... i kinda like this "biggest loser 2 workout" dvd though, so i think i am gonna do it MWF and do my taebo on  TT, instead...  :)  will see where that takes me...  god its hard to break the 150's .. :(

~Brigitte~

edit- my trend line is still going down, which is good :) as long as i dont see an upward trend i wont be tooo upset... :)

pasted from journal

I will call this week my breakthrough week... on friday i stepped on the scale and it read 152.5.... and then last night it said 150.5... finally this morning it said 149.5....  for a period in time i was stuck at 154.5... but slowly it has been makin its way and now its finally going away...  i went shoppin and actually felt really good about picking out clothes... because i knew u wouldnt have to squeeze it them and that the love handles peeking over the side... i was pulling up my jeans all day because my waist has gotten smaller.. hooray im final starting to see what everyone is talking about... when i 1st started CC i would think about food constantly... to the point where it would be all i thought about because i wanted to make sure that i was eating right... now im in the mode that when i eat i watch what it is and make sure that it is healthy and if it isnt then i make sure that i balance it out later in the day with something healthy.


*i dont think  im leaving the 150's group... I like it here :0( so im staying just not weight wise*

yay Messam :) whooohooooo :)  and we like you here..  but dont feel guilty if you decide to move on to the 140's.. just gives us incentive to come join you :)

yay messam!  Im with ya--I like this group too--your success goes to show the rest of us stuck at a weight for a while that if we continue to do what we know is the right thing, we will be rewarded it!

Remember all, that we are here to make lifestyle changes--if you're my age (37) that is 37 years of habits we are trying to change--IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT, or in a month, or even a year for some of us--but if we continue to do what is healthy for ourselves, even if we have a bad day here and there, we can develop new habits and live the rest of our lives happy and healthy!

WTG everyone!  *hugs to all*
Dee

Congrats messam! On the scale today (with my shoes off...usually I weigh with my shoes on) I was inbetween 149-150. I'm still waiting another week or so before I leave b/c my weight fluctuates all the time :) I don't want to go to the 140s and then have my weight go up again...so I'll just stay here until I'm 147/8...

well i might hate how quickly you can put on water weight, but i LOVE how quickly you can get it right back off :) the scale is back to 150 this morning :) yay :)   where is everyone lol?? 

chrysteas - congrats :) and i feel the same way about leaving the group especially as much as my weight fluctuates back and forth lol..

hope everyone is having a lovely tuesday and drinking LOTS of water :)

Hey unicat - we're still here. Just not much to report today.

Had a great food and excercise day yesterday to make up for my party. Day two of no bingeing. Let's see how far I get this time!

Trying to drink my water, as I gave up diet pop for Lent. It's still hard for me, but I think I'm getting better.

Have a great day everyone!

yay mrswuktisch on no bingeing :)  and good luck staying off the diet pop and drinking more WATER :)
