Thanks KarBear, I really appreciate all the support you & everyone else has shown, it means more than I can say.

Tink - sorry for your loss. I hope you are feeling better.

We have had some snags in the plan recently. Went away this weekend for a family get together and ate too much of course. The real trouble, however, is that all 3 of my kids are sick with some type of fever virus. Of course my first thought is swine flu!! We leave for our trip on Sunday. DD saw the doctor on Sat morning. The 2 DS's started with a fever last night. So everyone is home today. I dont feel well either. I plan on calling the doctor when they open to see what they say. On Sat they just said it was just a virus. DD is getting better and the boys are okay when the ibuprofen is kicked in. I just hope that we are all better soon.

On the bright side - I plan on getting alot of packing done today when I am home from work and everyone is vegging out in front of the TV today

Of course the scale continues to be unchanged - even after my indulgences over the weekend. I will not make my goal for the trip but I am trying not to worry about that too much. Got other things to worry about.

Be good everyone!

Thanks KidaniMom, I do feel better, being on the Dis helps.

I'm trying to get back on track after my own Dorito indulgence. That little episode cost me the 3 lbs that I lost.It taught me a lesson, my house is now a Dorito free zone.

Hello lovely ladies of the LWfM thread! Just checking in, how's everyone doing? It's been 48 hours since I started the cleanse and I have to say I'm not noticing anything. Not sure how long it should take to kick in. I'll keep you all posted.

9 days till we drive to WDW! WooHoo ... can't wait!

 

[KPH500]

Boy this thread has been quiet lately.

Where is everyone?!!

 

[tink1957]

I know what you mean, it seems like we are the only ones here lately.

I've added a daily walk to my fitness routine to see if I can get the scale to move in a downward direction. Wish me luck.

Where is everyone?

I'm still here and still trying to work the plan. It's just been hard with work stress and I have some vacationitis going on. Is it September yet? Scale not moving, probably means I should be moving more. Anyway, we are going to Charlotte this weekend for a comic book convention, and the goal is to try and eat well while away. We'll see how that goes.

 

[KPH500]

Good idea with the walking tink!

Good luck at the convention maiden!

As you may know I've been doing a 'cleanse' since Saturday but I have to say without giving TMI, that I think it's actually having the opposite effect. I'm a bit blocked up if you know what I mean. Considering though I feel pretty good but wonder if I should discontinue. Anyone have any experience with this? I could use some advice.

You can do it. I have lost 50 pounds in the last 9 weeks. I have been eating Lean Protien (i.e. Chicken Breast and Turkey Breast) with green veggies. Try to eat the veggies raw because it is catabolic (burns more calories than it has). Women eat 3 meals a day with a protien snack and men eat 3 meals with 2 snacks. I am 6'3" and I started out at 337 and now I weigh 286. But I could not have done it without a support group.

Hello everyone - We have been soooooo sick here. All three kids and myself were sick as dogs for three days. Two of my kids have asthma and any cold makes them cough and cough. The kids are almost all better. My oldest will go back to school tomorrow just in time for the 5th grade promotion ceremony. The other two went back today. I still feel horrible. My DH didn't get it.
So I haven't exercised since Sunday night - We leave on Sunday and I am NOT in the vacation mood yet. I am daydreaming of feeling healthy and walking around WDW but I can't get into it yet.

The only good thing I can think of is that better now than next week. So I hope you are all doing well.

BTW - to KPH500 - I tried the Perfect Cleanse last week and although I became more regular I did not notice a thing for about 5 days then I stopped when I got sick. I guess there really is no easy fix for this.

Be good everyone - K

Sorry you & your crew were sick KidaniMom, I hope you feel better soon.

My scale is still stuck on the same weight, I feel like throwing it against the wall. Yesterday was my rest day & I did nothing so I can't blame the scale, only myself.

Good luck everyone & stay strong.

My oldest has asthma too. I know that cough all too well. I hope everyone starts to feel better for your vacation.

Just keep swimming. You can do it.

 

[KPH500]

Kidani, I hope everyone at your house feels better soon!

Tink, stick with it. Don't let the stupid scale discourage you. You're on the right track.

For the record, I gave up my cleanse. I'm so bummed that it didn't work.

Oh well, 7 days to Disney!! WooHoo!!

 

[KidaniMom]

DD got diagnosed with bronchitis today. The only good thing is that with antibiotics I hope she will be better pretty quick. Now I am worried about the boys, I may bring them in to the doctor tomorrow just to make sure.

Scale not moving, probably means I should be moving more..

Priceless! I'll be remembering this quote! It is so true... I have been averaging 15,000 steps lately and I notice the scale finally started moving. I haven't been out of the 150's in a long time and this morning I weighed 149. A huge victory for me!!! It looks like I'm going to meet my goal. I'm on a weight loss high!

WTG!! It's such a great feeling to finally see your goals within reach! I started at 153 with a goal of 125 (might be too low but I'm keeping this number in my head). Although I'm only down to 135 and it's taken me since January, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm so proud of all of us and this thread has certainly helped!

Just finished the active. It felt good and I still had energy, so I did the 15 min run on it. (custom workout) I feel great and very proud of myself for making it the whole time. I can run without something chasing me. That's amazing. I think I'm going to add the run into my daily routine. I can do 15 min in the morning. Watch out scale you are going to move.

I did it... I went to Target, and bought the Wii Active... since everyone here seems to like it so much... and I finally opened the box.... and have completed the 1st two work outs.... I love it... It's not as easy as it looks... and I am guessing it will progressively get harder.. but I'm ready for it.. but the hardest part is trying to find time.. my kids laughed at me at first.. now they want to do it too.. and my DH has no interest.. (that's the bummer).. no real support.. every night he tempts me with ice cream.. which I haven't had since New Years. My problem is working full time, and have 4 kids so, finding the time is difficult.. I have to kick them off the tv and put them to bed before I can really start... I really want to stick to it.. I don't want to fail at it, because then the kids and hubby will be right. I just find this encouraging.
Oh... and TINK.... I am sorry for your loss as well... I can sympathize.. we just lost our precious daisy dog on Saturday.. she was 13, and sick for a while, although we were expecting it, it is not easy... but think, now they are running around in doggy heaven together, and waiting for us..

Hi everyone -
We are leaving tomorrow. I am not quite ready but we are getting there. The kids are better but not all the way better. We may have a slow start to our trip but we are there ten days so we may rest more in the beginning than orginally planned.
My weight loss journey certainly got sidetracked this week. I didn't gain anything but I didn't loss anything. I think in the end I lost almost 9 lbs. That's nine more than if I didn't try. I was in good shape physically but being sick this week did not help. Can't change that.

Anyway - have a good week everyone and I will try to be back here when we return. I plan to start over again when we are back.
