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!

Good morning all, today is a new day down a few oz today i think uping my cal has helped that..woohoo we shall see trying to be really good this week have a bachlorett party sayday going to sheppards which is on the beach here in fl aaahhh but i will be drinking a dancing the day night away so i hope that will counter some of the cal in the drinks..: ) i hope..

anyway. good choices today gilrs/guys lets get to the 140's : )

oh.. also welcome senoritakel i will keep my eyes open for some yummy recipes, have u thought maybe chili or anything really you can make low cal if you take out things and add more veggies thats what i do. really im a processed food kinda girl..lol terrible i know but oh so easy with a family. good luck

Oh my gosh, OMG, OMG - I'm 150 on the dot!!!! I'm happy/sorry to say that if everything goes well I may be leaving this happy little group soon!

Hard work has really been paying off lately! Best wishes to all - nothing else to add really.

I'm jealous XD I can't wait, 150.4 today, I'll be there with you soon!

does anyone have a helpful suggestion for accurate weight measurement?  My husband and I have bought 2 different scales this week (both digital) and they both seem a little inaccurate.  Also--they won't weigh my hand weights on their own (they're "touch" sensitive or something, so you have to have your socks off to weigh).  Unless I really lost a half pound in 15 minutes last night and another 3 pounds by this morning, I'm not really feeling comfortable trusting this scale.  We can't afford something really expensive.  Should we stay away from digital? 

We went so long without a scale that this is sort of frustrating...

ekathleeng - I've had the same problem in the past and now have a cheapo old fashioned scale. I use that every once in awhile and it's so-so, but not very good.

 However, I now only trust the really big expensive digital scale at my gym. Is there someplace like that you can go and weigh yourself?

I am not doing something right because I have been in this group forever...I just keep going up and down.  It's annoying.  Though I fell like I am doing it all right, I guess I'm not.

Today I will be more accountable to what goes in my mouth...better choices.

So far it is an okay day...

Hang in there poohct! I felt that same way a few weeks ago and then it just started coming off.

All you can do it your best right? Watch the cals, excercise, I'm sure you're doing fine.

uno - congrats on 150 looking to see ya in the 140/130 club next week :) 

laurie - you had a great vacation. you just have to get yourself back in to the mindset of being on track :)  you can do it :)

nocturne.. you will be there sooooooon :0) just keep on track :)

ekathleeng - have you done measurements.. that will help you see that you are actually losing too...  i have a digital scale and it can be pretty wacky sometimes too..   i just use it as an estimate on where i am each day, and take what it says, enter it and go on lol...

glad to see everyone staying motivated :)  before you all know it you will be where you want to be :)

Today I am still 153, which is the same as yesturday, but I am not complaining b/c I have lost more than a 1lb this week already.

I have an old scale also, not digital. It was cheap, but it seems to compare with my doctor's scales. So I figure it is okay for now. I would like to have a digital one so I could see something like 1/4lbs coming off....a little bit always helps!!  

I am totally stressing today b/c I have a test in my night class...I am trying to not give in to snacking!!

Think I'm getting sick...have a terrible sore throat...maybe that's why i feel so crappy.

Brig- thanks for the words...needed them

Uno100--thanks

Did get up at 5:30 to do the 6 am jazzercise...and have been doing well today.

Drinking tea now, and trying not to eat bad things.

Yup you guessed it, another day at 154! Sucks! I dont know what to do! I will walk when I get home! Right around 1600 cals today! I am struggleing with sodium, not sure if that is my problem! I know it will come off eventually! Just REALLY frustrated!!!

Today has been going pretty well.... trying to incorporate more veggies so hard sometimes! Just trying to keep it in the 150's lately!

Well no big scale shockers today! I ate what I wanted yesterday with no regard to calories. Probably hit atleast 1800 maybe more and skipped the walk, and once again 154 today!!! I know long term I would see a gain, but it sure is frustrating that no matter what I do I do not lose weight! I just dont know what I could be doing wrong! I exercise and watch what I eat more than ever (except yesterday!) and NOTHING!!! Just venting! Hoping the weekend is better! I work sat and sun 7am to 7:30 pm. So I should have no problem sticking with good foods then! I will eat just what I pack! Have a great one all!!!

Good morning all well i have a gain today of a lb...eeerrr but i think it is do to my high sodium yesturday.. so im gonna drink extra water and try to keep it down today..have a great day everyone..

I am at 152....am I losing weight too fast? I don't feel hungry yet or anything. I like seeing the rapid results, but I don't want to damage myself or something.....any ideas?

Nah, dropped about 5lbs in my first week.  It has slowed now, probably because I'm eatting too much again (but still have a 200cal deficit). 

Anywho, I probably ate like 2lbs of sushi last night then saw 300, then got starbucks.  Bad..  but I had been so super depressed since Monday I felt like crawling in bed and never coming out.  I feel so much better today, maybe all of those Omega-3s hmmm?

The scale says I'm 1lb heavier, but I know it's food and water.  Eel sauce has to have a load of sodium in it! lol.  151.4

i hope everyone has a great weekend, i wont be back on till monday, i hope i dont gain to much with all the drinks this weekend..: ) gonna try to keep the eating part as healthy as possible to help with calories i will be drinking..: ) good luck everyone.

well according to the scale, I was 152.5 today : )  Who knows how accurate it is, but I'm okay with what it said!

I've been struggling with little splurges here and there, but am also thinking that now that I'm working out more, I need a little more energy (I had cut my calories quite a bit).

Have a good weekend all--thanks for the advice.  Unfortunately I don't belong to a gym right now, but am thinking about rejoining a former one.  I just didn't use it enough to get my money's worth--I like to be outside!

Hey, SO its snowing here! I am not a fan of snow and being cramped inside its been so tempting to just snack all day.. but I havent! yay! I'm looking forward for the snow to go away and to go work out out side! I was 158 this morning.... my next goal from getting below 160 is now 155! 3 pounds to go... long term---140-135. Wish me luck and good look with the weekend guys!!!!!

HEY HEY HEY everyone! Have a great weekend!!! It is sleeting and supposed to snow here tomorrow....gloomy days make me want to snack on junk food too senoritakel !! I am going to have to really watch it this weekend to keep up my momentum!!!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I can already tell that chatting here has helped encourage me to lose weight. 

GO US! :o)
