OK everyone, leave your input here and then I will change everyone's tickers on their personal pages...see ya then!
the bride falls into the cake...ROFLMAO; you come up with the funniest things to get me going. WOOOHOOO!!...my first weigh in (biting nails); ty again very much stephanie.
You are welcome very much, Kat! Good luck with the weigh in. You are making choices that are good for you!
I didn't do well at all...I actually gained a couple of ounces! The weekend is what gets me - the drinks and the eating out! I am very bummed - this just sucks:( I have updated my ticker - hoping you guys have better news to report. I am going to the gym now! I WILL NOT BE OVERWEIGHT!!!
Ok... I will go first since I changed my scale and have to start over... :o(
147 lbs. However... my waist measurement is down by 1/2" so I am pleased by that. What did I learn this week? Well, 1 - dont buy a new scale. (hehe) 2 - dont pig out the night before weigh in! Oh... hubby says if muscles are sore body retains more water to help them repair... so... Im am sure i am retaining about 5 lbs of water! hahahahaha.
Good Luck everyone!!
Tina, what a sweet hubby to say that, and I have heard that too! It is always nice to have your support team on hand!
Personally, I am suffering from the opposite. I can never drink during exercise;; makes me nauseous. I just ran and my tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth...bleck!!
I surpassed my goal this week and ran 23.5 miles. Got a pedicure and 2 new lipsticks to celebrate.
Hey guys...not sure where everyone is checking in at...good grief..I did my check in on my profile page ....under the first check in...I posted it on the comments field...
Leigh Ann, don't get discouraged. Two steps forward and one back is okay sometimes. You will make it, I have no doubt. Love you!
Tina and others,
Please let me know how many you lost, or in my case, gained...and I can change your ticker. Because, not everyone gave me their starting weight...I know a pain.
Stephanie, GREAT JOB!!! I will update your ticker now.
the next week in, I have to burn more calories I take in :) nuff said LOL
and just in general, I want the variety in my cardio...walking,biking,and the tread-climber
I also want to commit to the phrase: no pain..no gain LOL...I say that because if I'm not REALLY sore, then I'm not doing enough floor/free weights
Thanks Stephanie! Good Morning, Brenda, I will look at your page and update your ticker.
congrats to Steph for exceeding your expectations in your running :D That is amazing that you can't drink water during the run...I don't think I have ever heard of that before..but then again, I do recall seeing people running and not carrying water bottles...WOW...hope your kidneys are ok...do your perspire alot when you run??
Tina and Leighann.....hang in there, you know, the scale just tells us what we earned for the week ...we're in a marathon on this blog until memorial weekend...
Kathi...be strong and work your program :)
Steph - Hubby is a runner too! Does 35 to 40 miles a week and so I take what he says very seriously as he is quite fit.
Leigh Ann - If you go from last week... I gained 2 lbs. I am back to my start weight. :-( Like i said... it just has to be the new scale and the water weight... LOL!
Brenda,
Congrats on the loss of weight! Your attitude helps keep me posted, so thank you for being you.
Tina,
I will change your ticker, but, I feel bad, cause that can't be right! God, I hope I have some water weight - but, I think it's Miller Lite!
You will be at the girls soccer game, right?
Brenda,
Meant positive not posted! LOL - obviously I have blogging on the brain.
Ok....drum roll please; just went for my walk (a mile again) and THEN weighed myself; 2.4 lbs. lost in two weeks (since my doctor's appt. on the 2nd Leigh Ann); that is a total from what I thought I weighed before the doc of, I think, 22.4 lbs. I'll email you what I weighed just now... pretty damn proud of myself, if you ask me
Wonderful Kathi! You should be proud of yourself! Nicely done.
Tina,
Nice job with the loss of 1/2"!
Will finish everyones personal pages this afternoon - have to take Rayna to her Soccer game:)
one thing i didn't tell ya though is i ordered a pizza, cheesy bread and DIET coke last night for dinner; i felt guilty, so that's why i went on such a big walk this morning
GOOD LUCK RAYNA!!
whistling (more spit, really) for steph on the run; that is awesome girlfriend; wtg brenda; and you're right...no pain, no gain
I will be there LeighAnn! And dont worry about the 2lbs... I want a tight A** and thights... and if that weighs 147... its fine with me! LOL
Brenda, I don't know why, but I can't do it with the water during exercise. I have always been that way. Yes, I sweat a lot when I run (think soaked, throw your clothes away sweat) and I drink a lot of water all day long, and input versus output is okay (drinking versus tinkling!) so I think I am replenishing well enough after the run. And I never run longer than about 45 minutes at a time. I guess I am just a weirdo. I am probably selling myself short on the running because of this.
Kathi, THAT IS FANTASTIC about the loss. Great work! Careful on the carbs in the p.m. Dangerous! Gasp! Pizza! ;-)
Tina, you crack me up! A tight 147 IS better than a bony, no muscle 120, I say! Your enthusiasm is infectious!
i know; but i was CRAVING IT soooooooooooo bad; but i only limited myself to two slices and two cheesy bread thingies...and then two slices this morning before my walk, so i'm sure i walked it off i'm having a friend over today, so i'll give the rest to her. I'll probably have soup later today if I get hungry. drinking plenty of water too...
Ok; it's halftime and I'M STRESSING OUT; THIS GAME IS FRUSTRATING ME... please excuse the rant; but i must vent
Great job Kathi :) keep logging in to the blog to stay motivated :)
I understand on the slips...I'm one of them...had 1/2 pastry 3x last week and I just had a quessadilla , 1/2 of one that my husband bought last night for himself to eat during the game...Hmmm...the game is on and he isn't here...so it's MINE
Tina...I like your weight and body comments LOL...I feel the same way :) I'll re eval my weigh loss goals as I look in the mirror...I'll do that after I lose at least 25 pounds LOL
Leighann, are you doing true Atkins that includes high fat stuff like the pepperonis, cheese meat etc....if you are then you can't cheat on the true atkins...the way it works is when you are following the plan to a T your body goes into ketosis...that's the fat burning phase...but if you cheat...that takes you out of the ketosis phase ...where you aren't going to burn..remember the urine sticks...pepople become addicts to the ketosis phase because they now they are burning mode
you can modify the Atkins if you know you're going to be cheating..the change being..what your protein will be...
I'm only commenting on this...because I did Atkins for a long time and was pretty passionate about it :) but I have hereditary cholesteral/BP problems and that came on while on Atkins
:( otherwise...I love Atkins!!!!
Congratulations kathi!! and Steph!! Go Brenda!! and nice 1/2 inc off the waist..wish I had thought to measure I mihgt do that this week.
Leigh Ann do not get discouraged you are doing wonderful maybe you lost fat but gained muscle!! Muscle weighs heavier than fat!! The imporant thing is you are working toward your goal!!! This whole blog and all of us getting to come together for the headband club was your idea!! and look how motivated we all are to encourage one another, that is a great success in and of itself. Next week will be better..off the y!! Wish you were here we could sweat togehter (and I have not heard anything on the pool yet) :(
Please wish Mackenzie a happy birthday, I still remember this day so well when she came out upside down with her squishy face and Rayna's nose!!! give her a big kiss for me!!
oh yea I lost 1.2!
Kathi,
How you doing now? 4th quarter, just got the first down with six minutes left...
Brenda,
Thanks for your insight. I guess I am not doing a true Atkins, only because of the beer, though. I am not going to change my entire life and be miserable...I am pretty confident that I will reach my goal - only time will tell.
Crystal,
Congrats on your weight loss and your words of encouragement. I will change your ticker. I wish they would get that pool done at the YMCA. I will give Mackenzie your birthday wishes.
Mandy emailed me earlier...she lost like .8 so, good job. She can't even work out yet!
BRING ON THE PATRIOTS, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO CHARGERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
what happened to mandy??
OH LORD; WHAT A HELL OF A GAME THAT WAS....I feel like i can WALK to your house, leigh ann; i'm SO FRICKIN PUMPED
GO CHARGERS
Mandy had elective surgery...she is fine.
I know what a game!
Everyones ticker has been updated. Still waiting for input from a few and I will update them as they come in.
Hello Ladies. Congrats Charger fans! (Since the Steelers are out it's nice to have someone to root for.)
Anyway, first weigh in I'm down 2.0lbs. I don't entirely believe it since it was only half a week. We'll see next time
Tina,
Fred is right. Your muscles will hang onto the water to repair the tiny little tears they get when working out and building muscles. If you are really exercise a lot you actually need to drink even MORE water. 10-12 glasses a day - first to repair muscles on top of the regular 6-8. Otherwise you retain. (I will look and see if I still have the article on all the physiology about that.)
I should weigh myself again, after the girl's game. I think I probably wound up sweating off another couple in the sun!
Also, two other websites I use. Lots of time before I head to a restaurant I will check the posted menu/nutrition info so I order something that won't wipe my eating. They are:
www.dietfacts.com
(has a lot of restaurant info on their rest. tab)
www.thedailyplate.com
This way you can have what you want by just planning for it. Did you know if you get your Margarita on the rocks you save 1/2 the calories (basically because of the ice). I just don't feel like I'm being deprived of anything when I do modifications like that. I do that with my 'Bucks lattes all the time (in addition to making them Skinny).
YAY!! I knew he was right... he usually is. Gotta love him, the ASS. haha
I hav not increased my water intake... so i will do that this week and see if it makes a difference for next week. Thanks Angela.
Oh my margaritas are ALWAYS on the rocks... and my latte's are now nonfat milk, 2 splenda, no foam. Not nearly as tasty as the Quad Cinnamon Dulce latte with whipcream... but it will do!
They have Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce now! And Sugar Free Mocha! Woo hoo!
Angela - great job on the weight loss! I will add that website that you were talking about. Tina and Angela - nice advice!
It was really hot out there!
It WAS hot... I think I sweat off about 2 lbs! ha! I am NOT getting on the scale to check however! :o)
Ok... I had to do it... I stripped down and got on the scale. 146 lbs. So it was only a POUND I sweat off... :o)
LOL...Tina, I cry foul...you weighed in more than once today LOL...JK.....Angela,glad to hear another, exciting, point of view and welcome to the journey, we all have in common :) reaching our fitnes and weight loss goals :)
Hey Brenda... I dont want my ticker changed...Im holding that pound for NEXT weigh in... LOL!!!
lol tina; i'm feeling a bit crabby right now......my leg that had the blood clot in it has been hurting for about a week now; was thinking it was the walking (which is EXACTLY what the doctor told me to do in the first place), but the area that's hurting is where they put the stent in almost a year ago...I'M NOT HAPPY!!! I need to call the vascular doc again to find out what the HELL is going on; i need prayers sent my way, please. thanks ladies.
Tina,
that was great - nice 1 lb. cushion!
Kathi,
keep us posted on your leg.
Angela,
added those two websites, thanks!
kathi...yes, I'll keep you in my prayers!! So scared for you~
I left my comments on the wrong section...
I have been in therapy with Leigh Anne all day, thanks girl.
I have a pg teenager that is completely stressed out, and I have eaten all her cravings and then some... and drank Coors Lite on top of that....
I have not gained or lost anything, so just my one little lonely lb for 2 weeks....
a better day tomorrow.... we find out the sex of the baby!
Thanks everyone,
Marci
