Well hello everyone I hope everyone is having a good Monday. I had a bad weekend so I really need to get back on track today. I had to work on Sat. and when ever that happens it seems like I am in rush the whole weekend then I end up not eating right. But I know no one to blame but myself.

Hello everyone - just checking in.  I was down to 272.6 this morning - woo hoo!  Here is to having another good week!

trapp,

I'm with ya... trying not to look at it as "bad"... more of an OOOPS!

It is hard tho, you know... when you have a lapse to dust yourself off and start over again!

I did SO WELL at the beginning of the day yesterday.  I knew I was going to my NIGHTMARE... and all-you-can-eat buffet for brunch... at the Four Seasons none the less... so it was $50 a person...  and part of me felt like I had to eat my fifty dollars worth... but I didin't... at all.. no breads, no desserts... I was awesome.. .and SO PROUD... but I drank... and continued to drink at the after party... and then as I got more and more tipsy... I wanted to munch... and boy did I... strawberry shortcake, wheat thins, Hershey's kisses... and potato chips.

Generally I eat apx. 1200-1500 calories a day... yesterday was an all out BINGE...  almost 5000 calories. 

I'm an every day "weigher"...  and the scale said I put on a pound and a half this morning... but for me... sometimes it takes an extra day or so to show up...

anyway.. .I feel yucky this morning... because for more than a month I've eaten healthy... and putting all that garbage in my body has made me feel horrible... but back on track... WILL NOT happen again... gonna do a super l o n g workout today just to make myself feel human!

Hello Everyone,

Trapp and tamara I am in the same boat with not eatting the greatest but this is a new week and we will be the bigger losers we know we can be lol =)

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Been really busy outside trying to get done as much as we can before our friends come for the weekend this Sat. We didn't get it all done but got a lot done. So because of all the outside yard work I havent workout and done my daily 2-3 mi walking but still ate ok not great but ok so I only lost 1 pound this week but its better then gaining I guess right?! I also made better choices Hubby went and got mcdonalds last night for dinner I got the grilled chicken with no mayo no bacon and no cheese and I put on my own light mayo and it was still really good I also had no fries and no pop, had water and a few of my 2 yr olds fries so I'm proud of myself. Keep plugging away everyone!

I have gained 13 pounds since Saturday morning. I don't know how that happened. Ugh!

Poor Pam!   Maybe it's time for a new scale!!!!

You and I both know it's not physically possible to gain that much REAL weight that fast.  What is it... 3500 calories in a pound? (apx.)

I don't think you ate more than 20000 calories since Saturday...  (although.. if my day yesterday was any indication... it CAN be done!)

Regardless... weight that comes on that fast... will come off that fast!

And... even if it were a real weight gain (which it isn't)... think how much healhier you are now than you would have been if that happened in January!

Keep making the right healthy decisions and the right healthy things will keep on happening...  even if it's not weight... which.. face it... is what we all want.. you will be a healthier person.

hey sarah.  dont feel alone because i am 5'3 also and weigh exactly 217lbs.  ive put on almst 100 lbs in the last 3 years following a pretty serious car accident. ive tried several times to rid the excesss but the medications made me hungry and moody 24/7. well im finally off the meds and its time to take over the world again! heehee..

Thanks Tamara for your encouraging words. I figured the same thing, that it couldn't possibly be a gain of 13 pounds of fat. Yea 3500 calories is one pound. So, I don't know why I would have gained that much in water weight when I'm on two diuretics, but it happened somehow. It is a little discouraging, though.

Pam I am with everyon else I don't think it is real weight.

Maybe your scale is broken?

Pam,

Dont get discouraged. You have been doing such a great job and I'm sure that it will show later this week. I agree with the others there is no way that it is real weight gain. Hang in there you will drop it just as fast I'm sure.

Hello jtorena1273

Yes we are twins! My sister came over today with pictures, one was of me when I was at my highest two yrs ago at 247 ugh! and I showed her the difference with a current pic of me. We couldnt believe the difference, it sure is nice to see it in pics.

I'll check out your myspace too and keep up the great work ok!

found a picture of myself today from 6 years ago....i was a junior in high school and was a size 12/14 and man did i look good! It's really too bad i didn't think so then! If i did, maybe i would have tried harder to stay that size...i remember feeling like a whale back then and i just let it all snowball. Now it's six years later and i'm at my heaviest (245lbs! sheesh!) and a size 20/22.

I'm trying to let this picture movitvate me, not discourage. Maybe i should put it up somewhere i'll see it everyday, to remind myself that i was once that size, and it is possible to get there again!

Hope you all had a great day!

Hey Pam dont worry about the gain there are several reasons maybe its hormonal or less sleep so jus stay on track n chill

my loss this week was 2.5 lbs

Congratulations Simar on your 2.5 pound weight loss. That's terrific!

Hi everyone. I am 28, 5' 7" and was tipping the scales at 309 when I started using calorie counter. That was about a month ago, and I have lost 11 lbs since then :)

In addition to cal count I found myself a walking buddy. This was the best possible move I could have made ! I now feel obligated to show up and exercise, lol. I dont care much about letting myself down, but I hate disappointing others and that keeps me motivated. We are now walking 3 miles 5 times a week !

Good luck on your weight loss friends !

Yay AMIE!!!

How exciting is that!!!  You know what you can think to yourself??? That 300 pound mark is behind you... and you never... ever have to see it again!

I was 343 pounds in 2004...  (178 at the END of  2004... 236 and going DOWN now...)

Next time I'm at under 200 I'll be as firm as I was  to myself with the thought of never being over 300 again.

I love you guys here... but I'm excited about not being able to be a member of your club anymore :-)!!!!!

Tamara, it's not an exclusive club,so even when you get below 200, you still feel free to come by and say Hi and let us know how you're doing. OK?

Congratulations Amie on your weight loss, and welcome to the club!

Well done all!

When I hit that 300 mark I just knew that if I didn't get serious, the numbers would just keep going up...well I'm happy to say that I'm now 277 and just so happy and motivated that the 300 is getting further and further away every week.

simar, Great job on your weight loss this week!

Welcome amiepie and congrats on your weightloss. Keep up the great work!

Sarah~

Thanks for the warm welcome !
