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!

yw carie...  anything to help :)  its not til mid/end of april.. i am not sure on the exact date.. hubby already ordered tickets but cant tell me the date lol...

i would love to be at least 145 by then, if not 140 :)  doubt it will happen though..  i will look at your journal entry here in a bit...  definitely keep your portions down :)

Sounds good! Tell me what you think! Today I start with egg beaters and oatmeal at 7am! Have a great day!!!

well i had an ok night last night.  all this overtime is kicking my but!  i ate healthy all day except for a few cheese puff's but compared to how i was doing that's pretty good.  today should be a better day. 

Well Im getting discouraged... but I?m GOING to stick with this. My weight is still not moving, I?m at 159.4. Ever since I had that dang Subway meat ball sandwich things have seemed to go down hill...LOL I know that?s not the problem, though it would be nice to blame it on something! Anyhow, I?m starting to wonder if I should up my calories. I?m eating anywhere from 1200-1350 everyday. I was losing with that in the beginning but I have noticed by the look of my chart that I?m starting to platu. I?m going to try and figure out how to post my weight chart in my profile and maybe some of you can tell me what you think.

To start off I?m NOT a veggie person at all. Don?t eat them. The only veggies I eat are potatoes and corn, and MAYBE green beans. I knew that this would become a problem for me sooner or later. I was hoping that if I stuck to other healthy and low fat foods that I could press on with out problems. I am still exercising at least 3 times a week.

What?s the saying, keep on trucking....lol..

Good morning all!

If you are at a plateau, definitely look at calories in vs. calories out--deficit could be too big (like unicat said).  Eat more, but eat healthy!

My 20 year HS reunion is in September! I already know from the 10 year that I am in much better shape than my old friends, but talk about motivation!  ;)

My bf told me I was obsessed with my exercise last night, and I got pissed off!  Are we obsessed?  Or committed?  It seemed to me that the comment was made to make me feel bad--it just worked opposite.  Any comments?
ha! He knew I was pissed too, because then he said he was kidding--but he wasn't!

Djrizzo, I think men look at weight different that women sometimes, to the point when they are fine with a few extra pounds as women on the other hand will have a breakdown. i dont think that we are obssesed as much as we are committed to making a change in the way that we live in order to increase that sexy factor and self esteem that we had when we were smaller.  his comment was insensitive and i think he realized that after the verbal diarhhea.  Keep at it... for a healthier you and a healthier life.

Goooood morning it is indeed.  Stepped on the scale, pleasantly surprised, 153, what?? Yup, ate horrible the last 4 days, went over 1300 calories every time, could barely control myself, and I still lost a pound.  So happyyyyyyyy.

Don't worry I know that won't happen if I do that close to my goal weight. I'm just pleased as peas anyway.

Have a horrible headache today, which means I may no be able to exercise. =\

I'm still half alseep, had to work late last night after class. Super fun.

yay carie, sounds like a good start to the day :)

ltlmsmfft - sounds like you are well on your way to being back on track :) keep up the good work... fight through that urge to allow stress to affect your eating :)

morningstarfire - i am sure the sodium in that sub didnt help things... and i am no expert, but you could be right, your body may have adjusted to your caloric intake...  or maybe you need to try to get more exercise in...  thanks to the info from dees nutritionist, i hear woman my age (37)  need at least 60 minutes of cardio 5 days a week...

dee - tell him he can kiss your skinny butt :P  ya know, i havent been to a HS  reunion since i graduated... :(  apparently someone dropped the ball there... and if being totally commited to your exercise and weightloss at this point in your life is obsessive then so be it...  sometimes thats what it takes to keep the ball rolling...

morning messam :) hope you are doing well today :)

nocturne - congrats on 153 :) whoohooo :)

i am once again at 149 this morning...  ugh..  but hey at least i didnt gain...  crosses fingers that tomorrow shows a loss.. :)

drink that water ladys :)
~Brigitte~

mmmm... i slept bad last night, i am soooooooo tired i just wanna go back to sleep.. :(
 

I've been sleepign badly too unicat. Nightmares every night! Maybe I'm a little too stressed out at the moment! Me stressed?!! ha

Ate 100 more calories than I burned yesterday, but I was insanely hungry and I kept it healthy. So, no guilt here! Guess I'll just keep plugging away!

hey unicat! yeah it had been a good morning. eating a pastrami sandwich wit muenster cheese.. thinkin about the tacos im going to have for dinner and the 30 minute run im going for later... oh boy!

Must be something in the air--I haven't been sleeping well either!  Full moon?  Aliens?  Eating crappy food?

djrizzo.. LMAO @ the Aliens comment.. hehe...

djrizzo- i think we are commited!  i think obsession borders or crosses the line of having a disorder and i don't feel that anyone here has a disorder.

morningstarfire-  i know how you feel!  if i eat one bad thing it turns into a snowball effect in my life.

messam- that sandwich sounds awesome!

unicat and uno100- i sleep badly every night.  i'm going to try pm tai chi and see if it helps

nocturne- congrats on the weight loss! 

hmmm.. wonders if it could be aliens :P   hehe..  probably more than likely its my sleep apnea causing me to sleep bad though.. :(  ugh.. i thought losing weight would help this...  i have lost almost 50 lbs since my last sleep study...  and i know using the cpap would help me sleep better, but.. i just cant stand it lol...

got a child seat for my bike yesterday, so as soon as i get it put on the bike i am gonna see if i cant ride with my son on it :)

glad you are having a good day messam :) yay :)

i think i need to start trying harder to remember to take my vitamins and such.. ugh... 

I am having a great day with the exception of ..... you guessed it.....I did not sleep well either. I wondered if it was because I hit the treadmill at 8:30 last night?!?!?! Been hitting about 1400 or so calories of healthy stuff the last few days! It feels great! Yummy tip of the day....
Hummus and balsamic vinager on salad instead of dressing! Sounds yuck, but is YUM!!!!

opinion needed.... quickly.. lol...  i was going to order the black halter dress with the white flowers going diagonally from right shoulder to left waist, but now they are sold out of my size.. 

so what do you ladies think of this one??

you may have to click on the enlarge button to actually see it once you go to the link..

edit - added a journal page for it..  with the pics, cos there were some problems with the page not coming up right..

actually nocturne you may have done right by going over your calorie consumption a little bit, my understanding is that sometimes that helps to lose weight :)

Yeah I think you're right, keeping my body guessing is good, but I've only been on the diet for a week and a half.  So should probably stick with it for the month and then eat more.

lol good luck on it, either way you do it :)

As of today I am officially in the club at 159!

I'm so happy, this is a big point for me!
