Looking to Lose Ladies

[LindaBabe]

OK, so I thought I'd give you all a chuckle...my family is

I went to the gym today and got on the ellipitical machine for the first time... My boss went today too, and was showing me how things work. So, I get on this thing, and notice right away that it's pulling me bad knee in a not good way... So, I slow down, thinking slower will be better. I get to where I have a good rythm, and I look at the readout on the stupid machine...It says PAUSED! My ideal speed is PAUSED!!

Oh, we laughed at me at the gym, and then I came home, and we all laughed here too...

And my time for this whole thing? 90 sec!!! Then I started laughing so hard, I had to get off and get on the bike....

I can't do the elliptical either for that reason - although there are different styles, so the one where your legs are closer together may work better for you.

I am so excited about my numbers I am going to report today rather than tomorrow. Yahoo, the exercise bike is paying off. We won't discuss what I ate at the Brazilian Grill Friday for lunch.

Wahoo, Lisa! (Maybe you ate a little more protein at the BG?)

Funny story, Deb. My best speed would probably be paused too.

So, I had my weigh-in tonight. Apparently, I did not hear the lady correctly last week, I thought I had lost .2, and I had gained. Regardless, I'm down 2.4 this week, for a total of 6. My new number is 5.8

That's good!

Brazillian grill, HERE I COME!

Weigh in today...

My number is 8, so I maintained from last week... That's OK, just didn't gain...

New number, 7.2. Not a very big loss, but it is in the right direction.

I am back down to 0.5 and since I have been in that area for a few days, sometimes a little lower I think a little has actually come off.

I'm still hanging out at 2.5 but after last weeks visitor I'm surprised it's not up.
Oh well it's a new week and I'm hoping the sun wil come back out and I can get some hiking in, nothing is flat here so thus hiking.

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm finding the scale hard to read but I think my new last number is 6.5 (despite the visitor!)

 

[Arizona Rita]

Hi Ladies,
I am here but had a ton of appts this week and going to a meeting tomorrow night so will weigh in then. Not expecting a good number at all!

 

[LindaBabe]

It is what it is, Rita!

Mindful choices - ever meal every snack!

Drink WATER!

Only eat food that your grandmother would recognize as food.

 

[PinballFamily]

Crap - up .5 lbs. Last number is 0 again. With the rain and the new job this week, the "walking the dog thing" just isn't happening as much as usual. We're both not happy.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Tomorrow is another day.

 

[MazdaUK]

My new last number is 6 so that's 7 down, 7 to go

 

[LindaBabe]

This weekend, I was bad, very bad. Friday was good - meat and salad for lunch and shrimp, grilled veggies and salad for supper.

Saturday - oye. Breakfast, ok, lunch was so carb laden I only ate salad, and by supper was ravenous - the worst part though was the ABSolutely FABULOUS cocoa - of which I had several cups - at 24 grams of carbs PER CUP! That is more than I eat at most meals, but I swear the stuff is addictive and I caved

Back on the wagon tonight - meatloaf and broccoli.

This weekend, I was not good. I had done really well the week before, but we celebrated DH's bday all this week. . .and boy did we celebrate!! Mellow Mushroom pizza and Marble Slab bday cake!

But, I weighed in this morning, and my number is 9.4--still on the downward track, and in my "target decade", so I'm pleased with that!! Gotta get back on the wagon, though! Only 68 more days til Disney!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Here we have the perfect example of why I weigh every day and average for my weekly post. Last week the numbers ran
216
216.5
217
216.5
and today 221.5!

If i'd taken the first day and said, ok, that's what I weigh, I'd have thought I was doing great. If I'd taken just today's number, after the lousy weekend of eating, it would have been a huge gain.

But the AVERAGE is 217.5, and that's what I'm claiming for today's number. It shows the overall downward trend, but I'm still very much aware of the 'reward' for my weekend's transgressions - most specifically 6 cups of cocoa over the weekend, and 4 munchkins, yesterday.

Back on the wagon last night.

most specifically 6 cups of cocoa over the weekend, and 4 munchkins, yesterday.

Back on the wagon last night.

Wow! That must have been some magnificent cocoa! It is nice you enjoyed it! (I had two incredible donuts this weekend too - steps away from the LSS that was having its going-out-of-business sale. Glad I probably won't be going back that way any more - those donuts are TOO good!)

Glad you're back in the harness with the rest of us - you are doing so great and are an inspiration and leader to us!

 

[Arizona Rita]

Ok, that pound I gained last time I reported, its gone again! So my ending number is a 6!
6 to go in 2 months. I think I can do this because Im now permitted to start walking on the treadmill again. Now to find time this week because we are hosting Easter for DHs family and opening a new show, which means lots of set painting.
I will do this before the cruise!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Down another .4. so my new ending number is 5.4, for a total of 6.4.

 

[ddavis860]

My last number is 0. I'm up 2

I'm retaining water something terrible, and my sugar has been up too. Getting a handle on it over the next couple of days. Those carbs are a killer for me!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

A very good week for me this time.

5.6

I made my weight goal for the month. I will try on the jeans tomorrow.

 

[MazdaUK]

Deb, try something like a herb tea - I think its nettle which is good for water.

I've not weighed myself this week but my fasting cholesterol test came back a whole 2 down (only 5.2) , no probls with liver or kidney function so I was happy.

Good healthy new recipe last night - boil some new potatoes (in their skins). while cooking,mix 100ml 1/2 fat creme fraiche with juice of 1 lemon and a rounded t of grain mustard (in a large bowl). Drain potatoes, allow to cool slightly then mix into the creme fraiche mixture until it goes runny and coats the potatoes. Toss in a bag of watercress (85-100g) and a couple of smoked mackerel fillets (flaked and skin discarded). DH said its the best new recipe for a long time, and it has omega 3 and all sorts of goodness
