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!

Thats great thinking agana, about all the colors, yes it is really good i didnt account fot the ceasar dressing but they were out of green beans so i got broccoli instead so that helped out alot.. to bring that calorie count back down, the greenbeans were about the same calorie count as an oz of dressing... so still very yummy and i made sure to get rid of that peice of bread quick since i didnt know i was getting it and i dont need it..lol

mmmmm....ceasar dressing!

hollybelle- Thanks for asking... my son was born with a birth defect called Hypospadias, its where his urethra didnt form all the way to the top of his penis. He had to have reconstructive surgery but hes at home and doing well now, but the first night was really really rough on all of us. He goes back on Mon. to have the stent removed from his little pee-pee.

Well aside from pigging out on Chocolate (im gonna blame it on the stress ;-) ........... and eating out at subway on the day of his surgery I was still down when I weighed in this morning. I have not weighed in a few days now but today I was 148.6! My trend line is at 150. 

this made my day and made me want to get back on track and stay focused...

FINALLY!!!! I have been looking at 152 for a week and a half. I even started to get up a 5 am! to do 30 minutes on the elliptical every morning before work.  I screwed up last night at an Italian resturant and had a 10" pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms (but it was really good).  This morning after my 30 minutes the scale said 150!.  I am so excited.  Finally some progress. 

It good to see all of you making progress also.  It keeps me motivated. 

Morning star, I will say a prayer for you and your family this morning and for all to stay motivated ad stay focused.  Have a great day everyone.

Oh man.. so.. another night of no sleep. I have my fourth (second to last!) final today (in an hour.. ) and I literally closed my eyes for 30 minutes all night. It's funny because it seems like when you don't sleep your body is incapable of losing weight. Even though I've been drinking lots of water and eating the right amount I feel crampy and bloated and just overall gross. and I went up a pound.

Yuck.

And of course, with no sleep and no free time the gym is totally out of the picture.

Oh well... now just one more hard day, then a week off for excercising and sleeping to my heart's content.

Have a great day everyone!

Alight ... 152.6 this morning, woo!  Not the massive dip I was (secretly) hoping for, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

I finally made it under 150!! :) YAy!!

everytiime I have tried to lose weight  ( in the past 2 years) I have given up at 152 and dove back up to 160.. I'm soo happy right now and I feel like I will really be doing it this time.. I feel lighter. I don't have any urge to quit right now... big step...

Yay!

Wow congrats to all of your for losing this week and for those that finally dipped below the 150 mark .....that is so awesome, so awesome in fact that I am a little jealous..okay maybe more than a little ; ).  I am weighing in tomorrow and I am nervous.  I am trying to force myself to eat more but I find it really hard and I think it is inhibiting my weight loss.  Jeez, I never thought eating more would be the problem lol. 

Anyone else have problems staying active on the weekends?  I am trying my best and stay on track.  That means I have to do active things instead of my regular cocktail hour....bleh!!! Hmmmm I wonder if there is a way to combine the two lol

Well thanks everyone for the well wishes for my son. He is doing much better today. So far everyday he seems to be getting better and better.

Today I was 148.8. I havent had any time lately to exsercise but Im trying really hard to work it in when I can.

Everyone else...keep up the great work!! We can do this!!

I just got home from a 4 HOUR FINAL!! I hate tests! Working full time and going to grad school full time is SO HARD! I can't even think straight! I have more finals next week......I doubt I will make it to the 140s before May!!

Good luck to everyone else!

Morningstarfire: GREAT WORK!! I am happy things are starting to look up for your family. Congrats on the loss! I can't wait to be where you are!!!

No good news here! But glad most everyone is doing well! Morningstar, my prayers are with you! Glad he is doing better!
I am back up to about 155 from my low last week of 152.5! Feel like giving up! It just doesnt seem worth all the effort! I work all month to lose 1 or 2 pounds, along comes TTOTM, I gain the 1 or 2 pounds back and then I spend the next month trying to lose it again! What fun is that? I will keep working out and watching what I eat! More than I have today! I hit.........2400 calories today! I am heading out to walk right now! I maybe able to atleast get up to maintanence if I run a bit! Wish me luck!

congrats for your loss, morningstar! It's good that he's recovering!

prettybowen: finals suck. end of story. the hardest thing for me right now is that I'm trying so hard not to overeat that I am ending up not eating enough calories.... and all the snack foods I have are carbs, so that sucks too.


Carie: don't give up! it sucks.. but eventually you're bound to notice the results.... the cycle can't continue forever.. just watch what you're eating and keep burning those calories! You can do this!

We can all do this!

(now I just wish I was in the 140's....)

Well I did it! I jogged outside in the rain for about 30 minutes! At the days end I pretty much broke even with cals burned/consumed! I will be better tomorrow! I am just sad I have had no big results! And I try to be so good! I have given up pop, alcohol, most sweets I mean come on! Give a girl a break here!
Thanks for the support Whitney! Someone needs  to slap me back on track! Heres to a great and healthy weekend!!!!!

ugh!! I broke my diet all week! and I was doing so well last week. I was even at 149!! But now I'm too scared to check the scale. =(( I just want to be at 140 by June!

hey guys dont feel bad.. i have no good news either i dont  really know whats going on with me.. im back up also to 153 but im doing everything right i log everythign i eat even if its not good,and i exercise almost everyday, i know i am loose some inches my clothes are fitting better but come on, i hope i will see a drop soon, so im in the same boat as you guys, maybe we are stressing to much who knows..but here to another good day of eating, im not giving up i worked to hard to try to eat better to throw it out the window..,

Carie

Don't worry if you stay on track you will lose.  I had my weigh in today and woo hoo I am down a solid 2 lbs or just a tad more.  Horray.  Down to 155 and I am going to try real hard to be good this weekend.  I have to do something active on Sat and Sun..... No excuses!!!!!

Good luck to those trying to get back on track. 

Thank you everyone! Today I was 148.0 and my trend line is 149.8! So I might pop over to the 140's club just to check it out! Keep up the good work everyone....I know you all can do it! Dont give up hope! I almost did a few times and Im so glad that I stuck it out. Im almost to my first goal of 145!!....... Once or should I say "if" I get there Im gonna shoot for my ultimate goal of 135, though Im not sure if I can get that low after having 2 kids now. I was 140-135 for years before I had kids and I was comfortable with that weight. Good luck everyone and I will be back in to check on ya'll!!

Congrats Morningstarfire!  I hope my bloat is gone in time to move over into the 140s with everyone else.  I'm happy to hear that your son is doing better.

We also have the same goal weight, 135. ^^

Hey guys... I'm excited, because I'm just about ready to jump into the 140's group, but I can't find it.... Can someone please post the link here so I can get into the same group as everyone else?

Thanks!

(the scale said 149.5 when I got up from my 2 hour sleep-nap last night!)
