Sorry, recovering from my hell day yesterday which was capped off at my weigh in and being up a pound. That sucked. Onwards and forwards!

I am here. Very frustrated with the lack of weight loss. I just keep telling myself it will come.

Hasn't been a good couple of weeks. Gained a couple of pounds but it's expected because I was out of town last week (when I only exercised once) and haven't done much since Saturday because of my ankle. I did ride the bike yesterday which didn't give me much pain but when I tried to run, I couldn't long at all. My ankle swelled back up so I'm going to lay off running. I have a doc appt on Monday then I head back to the Dallas afterwards because my sis is having her baby on Tuesday. Can you tell I'm excited???

Congrats on the weight loss Tenya! I'll be so happy to see the scales move in the other direction again! I'm heading back to the gym today and will be taking it easy until I get my ankle checked out.

STOP trying to run, give it time!!! I went for a 3 mile run today and leg was fine, so please... be patient.

I will! DH told me the same thing.

Happy your leg is fine. It sucks to try to do good for ourselves by exercising and then we mess ourselves up. I know its temporary though and it's good there are other exercises to do in the meantime!

Trust me I feel your pain(head and leg!) but give it time and it will get better.I honestly know how you feel FRUSTRATED!!!! I think we must be alike.
Did I tell you....
Physio says the push bike is the runners best friend.
You get a cardio workout and you use nearly all the exact same muscles that you do for running just none of the trauma.

Jenn sorry you had such a lousy day! Sorry everyone was up instead of down; next week.
Carmen, please don't push your ankle. Give it plenty of time to heal. Walk in the pool to get the muscle healed and built back up.
Two more miles on the treadmill and an hour of weeding.
Fight the good fight ladies!

Havent posted in awhile. No change. Got this in an email thought it was cute.
Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I joined a health club last year .... spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to go there..

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, ....'Well, she looks good doesn't she.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,… just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

..... and

Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find a Happy Hour, and by the time I leave, I look just fine.

I weighed in yesterday and was down another 1.5 pounds. Almost to 10 pounds. I'm feeling really good right now, my stomach is where the weight seems to be leaving from, which is good. I'm hopeful that by the cruise I will be a skinny me again!

nearly on 3rd page
Had a great weekend at work, busy and no goodies to tempt me so better have a serious wt loss.

 

[poohs4me]

I really do not understand what I am doing wrong. I am up another pound today. Last week I exercised 5 times and each time was either an hour or almost an hour. I have watched what I eat.

That sucks, I truly feel your pain, have you tried a food diary? you can print them free online , it is really worthwhile to do it if you are struggling.

 

[poohs4me]

I started keeping track of what I eat, when I first started struggling. I remember the first time I tried to lose weight it was several monthes before I saw the scale drop, but at least I saw my clothes fitting and the body measurements go down. Nothing here!!

I am using my heart monitor to gauge my workout. I like techy geeky things and it distract me from my activities. I just hope my body is doing the reverse of the bear - whereas he stores in the winter, I store in the summer. Today is what 105, so you never know.
