Great Job!

I weigh in today to at WW. I am down 10lbs so far and I feel great! We shall see what tonights numbers are. People are starting to notice my weight loss!

good luck with the weigh in!

We live in Milwaukee. Can't wait until spring for the Brewers to play ball. I have to tell you last season I took my DD and her friend to a game during opening week. Well we got there really early and it was cold they weren't letting anyone in at that point, and all of a sudden this offical Brewer guy comes up to us and asks if we are cold and we of course say yes. He then asks us if we want to come in and watch the Brewers batting practice. Well the girls scream yes. So he takes us inside and DOWN ON THE FIELD. The girls are so excited at this point all the Brewers are waving at us and they tossed the girls some balls. Then the Cardinals came out and started their practice and they were waving at us to! We got to stay and watch for over an hour down on the field. What an awsome time!

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm back on the exercise wagon, but I've been so hungry this past week/weekend. I don't know what it is, I just can't seem to feel full.

I'm also getting some annoying comments. One of my old teachers told me today I was all skin and bones and I should really eat breakfast. And about a month ago the same teacher asked if I lost all my weight by not eating. I'm devastated she thinks this about me, because that's the one thing I WILL NOT do. It's really suprising too because I used to be good friends with her, but everytime she sees me she brings up my weight. I know a few people think I'm anorexic or lost my weight by starving myself. I guess losing weight the healthy way is too good to be true.

And I know I'm eating healthy and exercising and I'm NOT skin and bones. Far from it, I know what anorexia looks like and I know when I'm healthy or not. I eat a lot for breakfast and just don't eat lunch because it's a hassle to bring. I get all my calories in for the day, I exercise, and I eat very healthy things. I guess it's saddening how if you're not skinny, you're fat and if you're skinny, you're anorexic at my school. There's my rant for the day!

Have a great evening everyone!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a good holiday week. It has been super busy here the past week or so and I forgot to weigh friday...I guess it has been too long and I just forgot! I will remember this week though

Today is DD's birthday and we had a party for her on friday at school, and a ice skating party for her sunday, and tonight we are headed out to dinner too. I cannot believe she is 7! I fear too much celebrating will make for a bad morning on the scale friday, but I am trying to be careful. The good thing about making cakes for other people (something I do in my spare time) is that I rarely want to eat them anymore! The bad thing is that I am not supplying the goodies for the Thanksgiving dinner we are attending so I may need to sample some of those

::Snow_White:: - don't let people get you down. When I was 18 I lost ALOT of weight with out really even trying. I got down to 135lbs (I'm 5' 8") I was VERY thin... almost skin & bones. Some of my friends asked me if anything was wrong, and if I had an eating disorder. I wasn't too upset because I knew that they just thought I looked skinny
Good for you! Sounds like your doing great with your weight loss! Don't let the 'haters' bring you down! As long as your being healthy then it's no ones business. Keep up the good work!

dance2874 - I looked at your cake pictures... BEAUTIFUL!

Have you checked your BMI? If it's healthy, then you can answer people who are concerned that you are within the healthy range, thanks for noticing. My DS had an eating disorder, and it's very serious and possibly life threatening, or can cause permanent damage to vital organs. So when someone, especially an adult, checks in with you, it's probably because they have experience with others they care about having eating disorders.

Hi Snow White,
If you are still hungry then to me it's your body telling you it needs more food. You may be burning off more calories than your taking in. I mean you want to burn calories when you work out but you may be burning more than what your bodies used to? It's not getting enough fuel.

As far as your teacher is concerned. Don't let her comments worry you. It sounds like she really cares. I think she's trying to be a friend, maybe not approaching it the right way? Why don't you sit down and talk to her tell her what your doing and how healthy your eating. Just be honset with her and your friends. (my mother always said honesty is the best policy ) Then maybe she will back off a little. But as an adult and a teacher I'm sure she has seen this before and is concerned. To me she's doing her job as a teacher and looking after her students. YKWIM?

Ok so at WW not down a whole lot. Only -0.4 this week but that's ok. Aunt Flo was making a visit so I think that had alot to do with it. I'm not complaining!

Anyways we are leaving for out of town today after work.
Everyone have a very

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Don't overindulge and eat healthy!

 

[::Snow_White::]

I'm in a healthy BMI range, so I will tell them that next time. I never thought about her being concerned because a lot of the kids at school make a joke out of it and even though they don't mean it they still say it. It really annoys me, because anorexia is a bad thing. I have a friend who was bulimic for awhile and a lot of people who don't eat as much as they should (I know because I'm around them almost 24/7), so I know what they do.

As for the eating, it was weird because it was a few days after I was sick and I hadn't exercised at all but I'm thinking it might have been my body wanting the calories I didn't get while sick. I didn't eat much because it would make me sick for two days. It wasn't as bad yesterday and I've been exercising since Sunday so maybe it was even the lack of exercise that was making me hungry or I was just bored. If it continues I'll make some changes because I've been eating my same calorie range as always.

You all are awesome, you always have great advice!

I've also been craving fruits so much too! It's great because I used to never eat fruits but now I'm always wanting oranges, strawberries, and grapes.

Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone!

You're probably right it's your body wanting to make up what it lacked when you were sick. My motto is always listen to your body.

Fruit is a good choice! Good for you and your body gets the natural sugars verses bad sugar from junk food. I love it when I am craving something sweet. And its very low in calories. I am hooked on Gala apples for some reason. Nice and crips with just the right amount of sweetness.

So... my body is getting stronger and I'm able to run for longer. BUT - I'm only down -.8

I don't get it! Here are my progress pictures. They are from week 1, week 2, and week 4 (a few minutes ago). I can see more progress in my pictures then my actual weight. I've lost under 6lbs total. My DH says I must have put on muscle. Who knows.

I'm on the forth week of the C25K... I'm sure I'll be able to do it by the end of the week... but WOW that was hard!

Good Work Everyone!

 

[LMO429]

Hi peeps

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving!!!! Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I'm glad to see this thread is moving quickly! I'm doing all right myself. Been busy, which unfortunately leaves me with little time to exercise. I was down about 1/2 pound last week, which was mainly from making the right food choices. I'm starting to prepare myself for the upcoming holidays. I just try to hold on tight and hope I don't over do it. If I can end the year weighing what I weigh now, I figure it'll be a victory.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

(Oh, to my fellow Cheeseheads -- I think I'm about 1/2 way down I43 between the two of you. I'm in the Sheboygan area...)

 

[dwheatl]

I forgot to post my weight loss on Saturday. Down 1.4. The best part is, I got my 5% sticker at WW, which means I've lost 5% of my body weight since September. I have lost 8.4 lbs so far. It was interesting that another lady got her 5% and had lost 23 lbs. I was thinking how frustrated I get when the weight comes off so slowly, but then thinking about that lady and how far she's come, but also how far she has to go. There's so much in life beyond our control, and we can't undo the past, or just buy a new body. All we can do is start (or continue) making good choices one day at a time, forgive ourselves when we slip up, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

You look great. I've noticed that weight loss and inches go together, but it seems like you get one, then the other, then one, then the other. Keep up the good work, and with patience, you'll see both.

To everyone

 

[mousehouselover]

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around much as life took a crazy turn this summer but it's all behind us now. We finally closed on the house and moved in. I'm now 30 mins from the main gate!! It's still kind of surreal to say that.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a scaled back feast this year but there was still enough food that we over ate.

I'm going to run, my AP is burning a hole in my pocket and MK is open until midnight!

 

[::Snow_White::]

natale1980, you look great! Keep up the good work, you'll start noticing it soon. The most important part is getting stronger.

Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!
I didn't go too crazy on the calories, and I got my exercise in for today so I'm feeling great! Good luck to everyone who is going shopping tomorrow, I'll be staying home enjoying the day.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Where is everyone!? Hope you are all doing well!

I found out someone in my family is getting married and I'm going to be in the wedding! I'm so excited, I've only been to one wedding when I was little and I was a flower girl so I'm excited to be in it. That means I'm going to have to start working on my arms depending on what the dress looks like.

I'm still keeping up with the exercise, I did Tae Bo advanced workout for the first time since we did it 2 years ago in gym. I actually had sweat dripping down my face for the first time, very motivating. I decided to do week one of C25K again, and today is my last day for this week, I'm not sure if it's just because I've never ran in my life, but I might have to do the same week for a third time. It's getting a little bit easier, but I think I'd still have a very very hard time doing another 30 seconds more of running.

I've still been hungry lately though. I ate my regular breakfast, then lunch, and then we had dinner around 4, and by 7 I was hungry again so I ate a bowl of cheerios and felt satisfied. I hope it's from me exercising so much because I like eating more, who doesn't?!

We just put new floor in our living room and today we're putting up our Christmas tree!

 

[natale1980]

Snow_White - Being in weddings is SOOO much fun!!! Do you get to help pick your dress?
I also wanted to tell you Great Job on picking a good snack when you were hungry! I love late night cheerios!

So I haven't counter my calories since Thursday. I kinda thought it was pointless since we had dinner at my parents house. I didn't have any desserts but I did have a few really yummy appetizers and a small portion of stuffing. But for dinner I had a big salad and I cut up turkey instead of chicken. So I don't think I did all that bad.
Then on Friday I worked at the Disney Store for Black Friday!! It was crazy so they bought Subway for everyone. I didn't get to pick my sandwich.. they had ham and cheese. I have a feeling I was under calories that day since there was not much time to eat.
Yesterday some friends invited us over last minutes and they were serving pizza. OOPS... I ate the AMAZING pizza. I LOVE Lou Malnati's pizza.
I don't feel like I over did it. But I do need to get back on track.

I also think I am going to repeat the forth week of the C25K. I did the work out but don't feel like I'm ready to move on. So we'll call next week 4.2

Hope everyone else did good!
-nat

 

[::Snow_White::]

Natale- I'm not sure, they just told me that we wouldn't start getting dress sizes until after Christmas since the wedding is this summer. But the girl getting married is in college for interior design so I'm sure she has good taste!

I absolutely love cheerios. They were yogurt burst and they were delicious.

Good job for thanksgiving! I had pizza this week too, but it was really good!

Did my C25K today. Do you guys do 30 minutes or just 20? Do you count the 5 minute warmup walk as 5 out of 20 or not? I always counted the 5 minutes and then I'd do the running part until 25 minutes and then do another 5 minute walk for a cooldown. And what speed do you guys run? Actually today I decided I'd slow down the speed of the treadmill by .3 or so and it made everything SO much easier. I think maybe I can move on to week 2 if I slow down the speed a little, maybe I'm going too fast too soon. I think I used to run around 6mph for a minute until I turned it down a bit today.

Oh yes, another question. Does anybody get really bad cramps in their foot? Last night I was going tae bo and I'm not sure if it was childs pose or something else, but my right foot just cramped up really bad (Kind of like a charlie horse in your calf). It's happened a few times before and I know moving it a certain way can trigger it, but I'm not sure if it's because my foot is very tense, or if I don't stretch it enough. (How do you stretch your foot anyway?)

 

[LMO429]

Sorry I havent been posting too much. My mom and I leave for Disney in 9 days. I have a MASSIVE paper due on Dec 7th so for the most part I am doing my regular housework, work and the paper the paper and the paper..UGH I hate it so miserable right now at least I know disney trip is so close.

I have been doing ww online very consistently and remember why I do so well on it I dont feel deprived...for example friday I had 2 pieces of pizza and didnt beat myself up about just counted the points..p.s. now pizza is only 4 points on ww

I have been working out everyday ..Im a little annoyed that I am going to disney 8 pounds heavier than I did in May but I know I just made alot of excuses and my all or nothing attitude backfired on me.

 

[dwheatl]

So I tracked everything I ate on TG, and didn't do too badly. However, the next day I went to a party for a friend whose family was on Family Feud, and it was supposed to be a BBQ, so I was planning on eating chicken. It started pouring, and we ended up just eating all the snacky leftovers people brought. There was a bowl of chocolate covered pomegranate, and cheese with horseradish, and I was hungry, and it was a disaster. I had to weigh in at WW the next morning, and I was up 4.2 lbs! What the heck? Anyway, I'm working out every day, and hoping that it all comes off this week. It can't be a real gain of that much, can it?
