That is disappointing. But I won't hold it against you. For you see, I am a REDSKINS fan. So, I will have Sunday free.
Well I am a STEELERS fan and we have this Sunday free also

Nick had his MRI tonight. Now we have to wait for the results. I hope to hear tomorrow. I will definitely call by afternoon if I haven't heard as I will be a nut case over the weekend.
Congrats on your first week! I remember that feeling of sore muscles, especially after plyometrics!Thursday will be the end of first week of the P90X challenge. Now only 12 weeks to go. I am walking around the house with moans and groans grabbing the stairwell, and pulling myself up out of the chair. It feels great!!

I tried reading it and gave it up. I didn't care for it either. The movie was good.Good morning,
I had a pretty good day on plan yesterday - even with a evening out. My book group met last night to discuss Julie & Julia. I loved the movie, but the book was pretty crappy. For our meeting everyone brought a Julia Child recipe. We had some yummy stuff and I was able to taste everything but not go overboard.
I saw that too. I don't like how the diet book they were talking about is only at that website. I kept thinking about the arteries thing during dinner.Watched The Doctors this morning and they had some interesting tid bits on diets. I'm not really following that diet they are promoting, but they said some things on fatty foods and meals that we eat. They said we all say we can eat a fatty meal once in awhile right? They said after you just eat one unhealthy meal, you're arteries start to restrict from it.I was a little scared knowing that. I didn't know much also about visceral fat and what it does to your organs. I'm so uneducated when it comes to what fat does to the body, but I'm learning and I do not like what what I'm reading.
Well I started this journey on January 2nd. I've worked out every day (except Monday) and I will work out later tonight. I for giggles got on the scale this morning to see what it said. I'm not going to "officially" weigh myself until Sunday morning but was just curious what it said, 2 pounds GONE..Now, let's see if those 2 pounds STAY gone

praying for good results from the MRI!![]()
thanks, I sure hope they give me something the second I walk in the door to get the relaxation started.
Hmmm...we'd wake up at the Poly, club level, take the early Segway tour at Epcot, followed by the late Keys to Kingdom tour at MK. Dinner at V&A's, Chef's Table, back to MK evening EMH, just in time to watch the fireworks and the late parade- a special one-night return of Spectro! We are picked to spend the night in the castle suite, but not before we shut down the late EMH at 3am like the Disney diehards we are! (Seriously, part of why we go in the summertime is because the parks stay open so late!)QOTD: Thursday, January 6, 2011: Describe your ultimate day at Disney!!!!
Mayim Blalik or something like that? I loved Blossom, and remembered reading that she was super intelligent. I didn't know she was on Big Bang. I've never watched it, I might have to tune in sometime. Is it one of those shows I could jump in and watch, or would I feel lost?
I do a body test daily on wii fit, I really like keeping up with it, but that's about all I've used it for lately! Sometimes I'll do the yoga. The only thing I don't like, is even after going from obese to overweight to normal, my mii is still big.![]()
One thing I have changed is that I use to weigh myself everyday well that yoyo was making me nuts so my hubby said no more, only weigh in on weigh in day...so I can't wait to get on the scale tomorrow!!!!!!
Good morning,
I had a pretty good day on plan yesterday - even with a evening out. My book group met last night to discuss Julie & Julia. I loved the movie, but the book was pretty crappy. For our meeting everyone brought a Julia Child recipe. We had some yummy stuff and I was able to taste everything but not go overboard.
OK guys, I am scared and would love all of your good wishes, prayers and hugs!
Some may remember my health scare in August, I mentioned it earlier on in this thread. (blood clots in lungs, emergency surgery for clot in arm, ICU because they couldn't get me off the ventilator, almost died, very lucky to be alive)
tomorrow I need a TEE (transesophageal echo). they shove a tube down your throat to look at your heart, they need to determine what kind of hole I have in my heart and how to fix it. I am TERRIFIED!
I am VERY claustrophobic, strong gag reflux and as a nurse who has been in procedures for patients getting endoscopies (tube down throat to stomach) I have seen way tooo much! the gagging and wretching and panic I see in patients has me over the edge. I AM SOOOO SCARED!!! I did ask for stronger anesthetics, so they will have anesthesia providers do the sedation vs nurse sedation. They can put you deeper. BUt still I am FREAKING OUT!
any good thoughts would be very much appreciated!
(I am also going to post this on the CB, I need lots of support!)![]()
I think I need to learn how to take a quote out of posts lol![]()
but, actually the girl exercised just about everyday (with a trainer, at gym at like 5am) and cut out all sugars, carbs, etc. Before she began her journey to lose the weight with the trainer her mom would test her, leave cookies out on the table to see if she'd eat them. Then the girl would eat like candy bars and hide the wrappers and her mom would find them and dump them on her bed while she was at school so she'd come home to see that. I felt bad for her, her mom IMHO was kinda heartless to her. Why do that to her?
Last night the girl LIVED on fast food, literally breakfast lunch and dinner, would not eat a home cooked meal. She too lost 90lbs in only 90 days. Her personal trainer was an ex Marine. She was eating well, he had a nice sized piece of meatloaf for dinner and some spinach, I think just the carbs were left out. Her training was intense thoughShe started at 250 and in the end weighed in at 160, which was her goal weight.
I have a 32 ounce glass that I use. I fill it in the morning and drink it throughout the day. Then when its empty I just refill it one nother time, finish it, and tada I hit my water intake.
I like doing it this way cause it doesn't discourage me because I'm not having to refill an 8 ounce glass eight times. I can just fill the big one TWICE.![]()
Question - has anyone tried Nutrisystem? I was on it for about 2 months awhile back, and after some research, I now believe that it may have caused my gall bladder problems - well, not nutrisystem itself, but being overweight and then restricting my calories so much. After having it taken out in November, I though I would give it another shot, since I didn't have a gallbladder, what problems could it cause? Now that I am on it, after 3 days, I woke up last night with pretty bad stomach cramps, and they have continued all day. Now I think I should go off of it again, and try to sell the food. What do you all think? Thanks for the input!![]()
THat's GREAT!!!!!!!I'm very excited about meeting my goals for this week!! Worked out everyday this week so far....just have to make it to tomorrow morning Last night I went on a snacking binge, but finally stopped myself and brushed my teeth (works every time) and didn't eat the rest of the night, so the damage wasn't too bad!!Water drinking is going great and I have made my veggie goal!! So I'm very excited for tomorrow's weigh in!! One thin
Way to go, pretty lady!!!!! HAVE A BLAST!Good morning, everyone! I am so excited that I am going to Disneyworld today. But crazy busy at work. Just wanted to pop in to say that notwithstanding a lot of not-so-smart choices, I was down 1.2 today at weight in.
My kids theory is "we can sleep at home!"QOTD: Thursday, January 6, 2011: Describe your ultimate day at Disney!!!!the kids would actually take naps!
Sending prayers your way. Hope the extra sedation helps, take lots of deep breaths between now and then!OK guys, I am scared and would love all of your good wishes, prayers and hugs!
LOVE IT!...the night in Cinderella's Castle. (All came full circle lol). a bit detailed orient, but it is what it is![]()
Good for you, I am really struggling with anything below about 45 degrees!man alive was it cold out during my walk last night! But I got through it
YUMMO!!!FOOD ALERT: I just read on the WW bulletin boards that the new flavor of FiberPlus bars that is something like chocolate caramel coconut is a good substitution for the Samoa variety of Girl Scout cookies.
Thanks for letting us know, I probably would have stressed about it. And you SHOULD change it, you did it, be proud!I am thinking of changing my pounds lost clippie. And I feel like maybe I should really own my actual earlier starting weight and not essentially deny it ever happened. SO, if you happen to notice that I've suddenly "lost" 10 more pounds, do not fear for my health or mental well being.
Feel better soon!I still have it saved on my DVR but I hope to walk while I watch. If only I get over this cold!
That visceral fat is some scary stuff, and unfortunately, pretty hard to get rid of!I'm not really following that diet they are promoting, but they said some things on fatty foods and meals that we eat. They said we all say we can eat a fatty meal once in awhile right? I didn't know much also about visceral fat and what it does to your organs.
That's a great day!!!!!QOTD: My dream day at Disney is pretty simple. I just want to be there, have everyone be in a good mood, no one tired and grumpy, be able to ride what we want to ride with minimal wait times, and enjoy the entire day. Is that too much to ask??
Once you start losing and exercising, and changing what you put into your body, you'll be amazed!!!!! You can do this, and we'll be here for you every step of the way!I'm 35, and have four young kids. I need to lose a good amount of weight but my real goal is to get fit and be energetic and strong again. I'm sick of eating junk, rarely exercising, being exhausted, and setting a bad health example for my children.
YAY for Mike being home, and I agree, in some respects, 2011 came in like a LION!Well, Mike is home, and Tom is on his way back to school. I am pooped. It's been a long year already.![]()
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!Well I started this journey on January 2nd. I've worked out every day (except Monday) and I will work out later tonight. I for giggles got on the scale this morning to see what it said. I'm not going to "officially" weigh myself until Sunday morning but was just curious what it said, 2 pounds GONE..Now, let's see if those 2 pounds STAY gone
If I don't do it before work, I realistically know it won't get done. Unless I am doing arms/abs/strength. But I just can't get up for cardio after work!Thanks! It was tough, and cold, but I survived and went again this morning. Soreness is really setting in now! But it feels good to be out there, and I absolutely love getting my workout over with by 7 a.m. It is so much easier than at the end of the day!
YAY for lots of clients! What is a Mickey nugget?I hope this keeps up! Luckily it's a 5pm massage so I should be home by 6:30ish.Tomorrow I will get up and do the BL Last Chance Workout and hopefully 1-2 miles of the Power Walk before my weigh in. As of this morning I had a small loss so that's good for the first week!
I think DH and DD1 will have pierogies and DD2 will have Mickey nuggets.
GREAT JOB!!!!At the beginning of this journey I said I would make small goals for myself to complete each week. The first week's goal was to walk 3 miles on my treadmill over the course of the week. Well, this afternoon I finished that goal.
So glad he made it safely, and that You got to run!Long week! Tom is back at school. That's a relief. This has been a rough week for him too, and I know he will be glad to be back with his friends. I got a run in today! It was so wonderful to be able to run.
Poor Nicholas! Anything new been introduced around him? Cleaners, laundry detergents? GREAT JOB ON THE LOSS!I took a peek at the scale today and it showed 3.2lb loss since my weigh in on monday. I will take that. hopefully tomorrow it says the same or less. I had to rush out of work early because nicholas's eyes were both swollen this time after nap at school.
Since I really don't care much about NFL, like to watch it but don't have any strong ties, I'll cheer for the Eagles for you!QOTD- 1/7/11 Friday-
What are your plans for the weekend? and what changes or plans are you making to be sure you stay on plan? Sunday will be a big day in our house. We are huge EAGLES fans. The 1st playoff game is at 430 on sunday.
Good luck, and great job staying OP!I'm a little nervous about weighing in tomorrow--my normal weigh in day is Monday. But I've stayed on plan all week, and have exercised a little bit every day. So hopefully, I'll show a loss.
Sounds like a GREAT weekend! Enjoy!tomorrow-we are going to bar to celebrate my friend's birthday. I have saved my WW points all week for some champagne! !
Love this!!! Thanks again for doing the weights, HUGE Job, and much appreciated!. Did I mention that it's Food and Wine???!!!! I would spend time in each country trying the food and a drink in each country. I would also try and take photos of all the food that I ate. And best of all, I WOULDN'T GAIN A POUND after eating everything!!
Don't know ANYTHING about the nutrisystem, but know a bit about gallbladder. Had to have mine taken out 3 months after my oldest was born. Things that bothered me before, still bother me. I can no longer eat my raw onions (fresh from garden). Raw cabbage, and some other things bother me. ANYTHING fried, cannot handle it, I am sick, sick, sick, which is a good thing. But the problems didn't go away just because it was removed.....I was on it for about 2 months awhile back, and after some research, I now believe that it may have caused my gall bladder problems - well, not nutrisystem itself, but being overweight and then restricting my calories so much. After having it taken out in November, I though I would give it another shot, since I didn't have a gallbladder, what problems could it cause? Now that I am on it, after 3 days, I woke up last night with pretty bad stomach cramps, and they have continued all day.
I want to take the kids at Christmas, too. Great job staying OP!!!!!!Thursday QOTD:
Since I can't go to Disney at Christmas due to work, I would start my day in early December at the GF and eat BF at 1900, checking out the decor beforehand. Then we would go park and hotel hopping to see all the Xmas decorations. We would end the day at MVMCP.
I started out at the gym on the treadmill and did my weekly grocery shopping (a day late). I just got back from dinner and only ate half! I have leftovers for tomorrow. Back on track with water too.
I know you have to be stressed! Hoping and praying for good news!Nick had his MRI tonight. Now we have to wait for the results. I hope to hear tomorrow. I will definitely call by afternoon if I haven't heard as I will be a nut case over the weekend.
YAY!!!!So my ovarian cyst shrunk some I need another follow up ultrasound in 6 weeks. Hopefully it will be gone and the last ultrasound for awhile.
I would love to shut MK down sometime. My kids can't hang w/ that yet! I am a daily weigher. For me, being a bit obsessed keeps me OP. Honestly, when I stop weighing daily, I gain. Out of sight, out of mind...We are picked to spend the night in the castle suite, but not before we shut down the late EMH at 3am like the Disney diehards we are! Me too! I was a daily weigher every time I tried to diet in the past. I used to tell myself I knew weight fluctuated and that I wouldn't get bummed by a small gain...well, I could say that all I wanted, but the truth was another story. It made me a little obsessed, hoping every morning for another slight loss, getting bummed whenever I stayed the same or gained. But I am excited to weight tomorrow!
See!!!!! Proud of you! Next week will be amazing!I'm amazed. I had a very off-plan week and I am down 1.1 pounds!
Cool, of course, no Costco for miles, but if I ever get to one, I'll be getting some! Glad you had a loss! Is last chance a DVD or Wii? Glad to see the diabetic taking care of his feet. Daddy ended up losing a toe, and a ulcer on his footbed that never healed. He had pretty much lost all feeling in the bottom of his feet - walked on STEAMING hot asphalt barefooted one time, burned his feet, never knew it.Mickey Nuggets are from Costco. They are chicken nuggets in the shape of Mickey heads! Down 1.8 this week which is good for a PMS week (sorry, guys, we share a lot here). I did the Last Chance workout this morning! He's a diabetic so it's very important for his feet! I wouldn't mind having a day in jammies! I got really into those over vacation!
So question about the HH?
So we have to do all 3 things in order to report it as a HH?
Ex. On Sat, I drank 6 water but did not exercise or eat veggies. So that does not count?
We do not have plans for the weekend except to run 6 miles on Saturday--and I am soooooo happy. Looking forward to a few quiet days. I would like to do some house cleaning and some meal planning for next week.QOTD- 1/7/11 Friday-
What are your plans for the weekend? and what changes or plans are you making to be sure you stay on plan?
.
Just remember that you DO need healthy fats--omega 3s etc. I will look and see if I can find a spark article on this. Your brain needs them and your heart and your joints.I saw that too. I don't like how the diet book they were talking about is only at that website. I kept thinking about the arteries thing during dinner.
.
Here's hoping it goes away with no problems. I have had a few rupture and it is really painful.So my ovarian cyst shrunk some I need another follow up ultrasound in 6 weeks. Hopefully it will be gone and the last ultrasound for awhile.
.
CC--did you get some exercise in?I'm amazed. I had a very off-plan week and I am down 1.1 pounds!
Now, if only I had an OP week![]()

Just a reminder:
When you send in your weigh in and your healthy habits PLEASE include what team you are on. It will make things so much easier for CC and Tracey if they don't have to try to figure out what team you are on. I have over a 160 people signed up for the challenge, so that's a lot of names to sort through! Thanks!
