Losing weight for Mickey

[jkCT]

Thanks for the idea of those meals! I might need to get some of those! It's just that a food plan comes with our housing so if I don't use it I lose it and I feel like I'm throwing money out the window! But I guess it would be worth it I also saw someone on here said that they are giving up snaking after dinner for lent... What a great idea!!! Thats where all my bad calories pile on!! and the sad thing is it's not that I'm hungry I just feel like eating something I am going to give that a try!...i must admit thats a hard one though!

My downfall is snacking after dinner too. Sometimes I find that a small snack of something that has a lot of flavor (my favorite is flavored pretzels...jalapeno or honey mustard) satisfies my "feel like eating something" snack craving with 150 calories as opposed to a big bag of chips for 400 calories!

I know I get hungry in the evening after supper. But, when I am being health conscious I just make sure I eat a healthy snack.

I stick to air popped popcorn, fruits, veggies, or if I want a desert I just have a serving of fat free sugar free pudding or a skinny cow icecream bar. I don't really agree with depriving yourself of everything after a certain cutoff time. But if you have tempting things in your house, like potato chips either throw em away or if you can't do that just imagine all the work your gonna have to do to burn those calories and fats off. Don't eat the chips at night!!!! Stick to the good stuff!!!! ok that's my two cents.

Today is day #5 of working out this week and I started DS~7 and DD~5 doing kids yoga in the morning. They really like it so if we can continue getting up early enough we will keep doing it.

Have a great day everyone.

Welcome DoryDays! College was the beginning of my weight gain. It can be a very stressful time. I like the idea of coming up with a competition to lose weight. That really motivates me here at school (I am a teacher) where we have done several "Biggest Loser Competitions". It always help to have a support group.
Try to limit your portions when eating on campus. It can be difficult I know! Does your college have a gym that students could use? We never really did but a walking group would be good too.
Have a great weekend everyone!

ok..been gone a long time!!! I did really well my last post and had lost 3 pounds that week with all my workouts. Well things went to pot..as they usually do when you get on a good roll .

Not going to get into it but death in the family, broke my treadmill, I had the plague (ok really bad sinus infection).

Things are getting back to normal and I'm ready to get back on that horse..and treadmill..got it fixed yesterday.

Just did an hour after the guy left yesterday and just got off now doing another hr. I ran 5 minutes straight . For a girl who believes in not running unless your being chased that's ahuge accomplishment. then walked 4mph the rest..phew.

Anyway..hope to catch up and post more. My trip is in 91 days and I NEED to lose 10 pounds at least.



Good job everyone!!

Hello all, I'm back home in Jersey! My trip was the hardest thing I've ever done. On Wednesday, we had the Memorial Service in the funeral parlor. My nephew was in a closed casket (thank goodness), so it wasn't to bad, just very late, and hard for my young girls. The actual funeral in the church was the next morning, and was very very hard. I had my two girls with me - we got there a little early, and they were started to get wrestless, so I took them outside to play, and the hurse comes barreling up where there playing, so I had to grab them and run - then at the end of the 1 hour service, they were getting wrestless again, so I took them out to the same area, and all of the sudden, the doors open again, and there comes the casket, and I had to run again! At that point, my brother came out, and saw me, but kept walking with his son - once he was in the hurse, he came over to me, and I just threw my one arm around him (the other arm was holdiong DD1), and we both just sobbed, and I told him how sorry I was, and how unfair it was that he had to loose his baby. It was a hard, but very... rewarding... moment for me, because my brother is 20 years older than me, and we never really grew up together, though he was always around, and was always a great brother. So emotionally, it was a very hard time, and the fact that I was without DH, made it almost impossible for me. Yes, I had my parents, sister, and BIL, but its still not like having their father with you. And seeing that DD1 woke up this morning at 2am and never went back to sleep, I'm pretty beat!

As far as my WW - that went out the window! I haven't weighted it yet, I'll do that in the morning, but between pizza last night (and again tonight due to DH), waffles, bagel and lox... I really didn't do to bad - it was florida, so we ate a lot of fruit - but I know I went over. I hope everyone else had a good week, and an even better weekend!

BTW- the kids were great on the plane - down they just watched SBSP on the DVD player, and the way home they just slept!
Also, my cold is pretty much gone thank goodness!

Well I haven't lost anything after watching what I eat for 10 days. But then last Thursday I was diagnosed with pneumonia and it's the time of the month when I start retaining water so I've had no luck. I feel better because I'm eating healthier so that's a good thing. Once I get the pneumonia out of my lungs (should be soon) I'll start working out and getting my butt into shape. Although the scale doesn't say I weigh less, my clothes do feel a little less snug.

You are truly an inspiration!! Even getting up early and getting the kids involved??! My hero!! I totally agree with not having the temptations in the house . . . now will you please tell that to my DH!!

Something to celebrate for sure! Send a little of that magic my way , I'm back up!

Good luck on getting better! I've also been wondering if others see the scale tip upwards at that time of the month! It always seems that way for me!

Jazmine8-don't feel discouraged!Remember you were the one who pulled me back in! I have found when the scales didn't move I was usually not so good the week before. Keep on your regime!
NJFAB4-I felt the same way 2 weeks ago! Someone here recommended writing down what you eat. Keep your spirits up...YOU CAN DO THIS!
TNKRBELL-I won't eat after 6. Make that a point. I have gone to bed because I wanted to snack!
I have lost 1 pound this week w/ the school's competition (biggest loser type) and my team is in the lead! (not by much so every pound counts!!)

I have worked out 6 days a week - walking 2 to 3 miles and doing the ab work on the bean. I do see a difference in my stomach but I wish the scale would move faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My trip isn't that far off!

Weekend is coming though.....Stay strong!!!

I had to laugh a friend of mine sent me a picture and under it it said-
Dear God, If you can't make me thinner, make my friends fatter!

Thanks tmatthews! Love the quote!!

Welcome back! I'm sure your brother appreciated it so much! I'm sure you'll get back on the WW track quite easily!


And welcome DoryDays! I went to a college in the hills of the Appalachian Mnts. so I was able to walk off the pizzas, bagels, and beer going to class each day! Almost wish I could be forced into that again!!

awe thanks that's so sweet.

I've been working so hard so i thought that i would sneak a peak at the scale on Friday but, that was a bad idea cuz i was exactly the same weight! I know I'm doing my body good and it will eventually payoff ~ but it's just so dang hard! I'm gonna try to be good over the weekend.

Sharpmomof2: Glad you are home safe and sound and plane ride went well. I am sure your brother appreciates you and the time you spent there with him. I am 15 years older than my youngest brother and sister (Twins). While we may not share the closeness of my sister/brother right under me and sometimes I think they think of me more as momlike figure, They mean the world to me!!!! as I am sure you mean the world to your brother! There is a bond between all siblings no matter the age range!
