When Did I Get Voted Off of Skinny Island & Why is This Fat Shadow Stalking Me?

[tlenzendorf]

Ok, this is kinda funny... but it will really push my diet...

My uncle was having a hard time finding somebody to do their wedding... so I signed up online and I'm now an ordained minister

I need some practice, anyone want to get married?

Ha! That's awesome!!! Sorry I can't be your guinea pig, already married!

Liz- YW! Day 2 is going about as well as day 1 went. Which is to say not well.

Ancestry - awesome info! You are doing so great. I'd love to hear more detail about what you're doing/eating.

To whomever asked about what exercise people are doing: I mostly walk. I try to go on my lunch hour for 30-40 minutes, weather permitting. I also hop on Wii Fit once or twice a week and do some yoga, strength and aerobic exercises. I want to do more of the strength stuff with weights too. But walking at lunch is easy for me (although I have to lug a change of clothes and I don't like being sweaty, so I have to "dry off" with paper towels) I should just bring a ShamWow or something!

I also walk the dog and do chores/gardening to add in a bit more. But I'm going at a snail's pace. I can't change too much at once, so I'm watching the sugar intake, drinking more water (those flavor packets rock!) and eating less of everything.

Snails pace is still a pace!! It's great that you know yourself that well!

Slow and steady wins the race, right?

@ shamwow!

We had a potluck at work today, I did NOT pigout AND I made a healthy dessert!

Dessert sounds yummy!!! for doing well at the pot luck and for bringing a dessert you can eat on your plan and know the nutritional value for!!

First Name and Screen name: Sara ~ Officereg
What your Goal Is for Fitness: I recently lost 30lbs I would like to lose another 75 but will be happy with 50
Food that you Find Hardest to Eat in Moderation: Moderation? I don't think that is in my vocabulary. I really have to say "No I can not even have one" other wise before you know it the entire box of icecream sandwiches are gone!
Favorite Good Food for You: Strawberries
Favorite Form of Exercise: I love the elliptical.
What Your Goal is For Yourself when you get to Skinny Island: I would like to be able to purchase clothes other than from Lane Fat A$$, maybe even just pick up whatever size and take it home because I know it will fit over my thighs. I would like to be able to attempt to do some fun stuff. I worry about what people think and I would rather someone say "look at her she really is bad at this" then "look at that fat chick she really sucks"
Family: I feel sorry for everyone else out there, because I am the one who was lucky enough to find the best man on the planet. He is absolutely amazing. We have two children a daughter who is 8 months and a son who is 12 (yeah we thought we were done after one)

@ Lane Fat @$$ I'm so ready to tell that store to kiss my skinny butt!

Ok, this is kinda funny... but it will really push my diet...

My uncle was having a hard time finding somebody to do their wedding... so I signed up online and I'm now an ordained minister

I need some practice, anyone want to get married?

That's awesome!! I'm both impressed and in shock that you can just get ordained online like that? Licensed to bury and marry eh? What are the qualifications to become ordained anyway??

Sorry no practice here!!




Personal Update: I'm researching more diets and have packed up the 6wk body makeover for now. I'm still implementing a lot of their philosophy, but the 750 cals a day scared me!!! Don't want to send my body into shock when I actually lost last week. Wouldn't ya know the week I get frustrated and finally decide to try something new is the week what I *was* doing started showing some results. Maybe the trainer was right and it just took my body 2 mths to realize I wasn't dying from starting a work out plan.

Oh and as far as what excercise I'm doing, I'm trying to get into the gym 5 days a week. Most weeks I average 4. I do 5 min warm up, 30 mins weight training and 30-40 mins cardio 3 days a week (every other day) and cardio only the other 2 days a week, 30-40 mins. I'd like to eventually work up to 45-60 mins cardio for non weight training days. Cardio for me is still the recumbant bike. I did a day on the treadmill and don't like it as well and the elliptical scares me! I used to own one and I returned it to Costco to pay for a Disney trip. Maybe one of these days I'll work over to the elliptical.

On weekends I try to get out of the house and go shopping at an outdoor mall to get in some walking. I play with my boys outside and try to do housework. It may not be 'exercise' but it's definitely more activity than BW (Before WISH).

For what it's worth, I miss the people that are missing in diet-action.

Hi all,

I am still trying to get everyone straight, I need to use those quote buttons more - LOL!!

But that dessert sounds great!! DH and I used to make one similar with light cream cheese that tasted like cheesecake but was super low in cals and fat - I willt ry to find the recipe...

Gellybean - sorry to hear the 6WBM did not work for you, but I have to agree - 750 cal is not enough!! I have a friend who did Herbal Magic and lost 92 lbs in 6 months. She swears by the pills, but she was on a restrictive diet. And when I say restrictive I mean the same as what you were just on but 920 cal/day. Ummm hello?!?! I can lose weight too without pills if I eat 920 cals/day!! She shelled out A LOT of $$ too!! (I mean in the thousands!!!)

I know there is no "magic" pill but it is so tempting to try all the fads and gimmicks isn't it? I mean what if I was the one that it worked on? KWIM? But then again, what if I was that Alli dude!! (Glad you all found it hilarious, DH & I were crying when I first read it!)

As for excerize! WOW you ladies are doing great!! I do not have the opportunity to go to the gym regularly, so I am trying to walk, bike and swim (while DD has her lessons). I live 40 minutes out of our city and have to get home to get DD from daycare. Since I have a 30 minute lunch, the gym is just not an option for me right now (and no gyn in our small town). But, that is no excuse!! There are plenty of things I could be, and should be, doing!! I just have to get off my butt!!

Anyway, I am enjoying getting to know you all!!

Amy

 

[eliz991]

Okay here are my two non-recipes:

The dessert tlenzendorf posted reminded me of this, I made it for 4th of July a couple years ago and everyone loved it and no one (but me and DH) knew it was low cal and low fat! It's a kind of a trifle.

Buy an angel food cake (or make one if you like) and rip into chunks. Put half the chunks in the bottom of a very large bowl. Cover with one package of prepared sugar free white chocolate jello pudding (or sugar free cheesecake pudding if you can find it). Cover that with a package or two (depending on shape of bowl, you want a good layer) of blueberries. Repeat cake and pudding layers, then put a layer of strawberries. Top the whole thing off with a small container of fat free or low fat cool whip. Delicious!

The other one I thought of because I am making it tonight. Every few years I try foods I don't like because your tastebuds change. (Six months ago I started eating mushrooms and olives for the first time in my life!) So, I found this recipe for brussels sprouts. It's fantastic and I make it all the time now. I haven't tried steamed brussels sprouts yet I just make them this way.

Okay, cut the brussels sprouts in half (down here they sell them in a 16 oz container, I use the whole container). Put them in a large ziploc bag and add 1-2T of olive oil (most recipes call for up to 5T, that's ridiculous! ) Then pour in balsamic vinegar, add pepper and garlic and whatever else you like. I usually add salt but I'm a salt fiend, I'm actually going to try it without tonight because vinegar is salty anyway! Shake up the bag and then pour out the sprouts on a baking sheet in one layer. Roast at 450 for about 30 minutes or until they are brown and caramelized, I like mine pretty well done. Turn them over halfway through.

Okay ladies ~ off to Jazzercise I go! I was tempted to skip because my friend is out of town but staying on this thread today kept my motivation up!

My youngest son got married today!! No wedding, just him and his wife and baby, their two best friends and all us parents with a preacher at her dad's house. They seem so happy I have really never seen a couple so perfect for each other! They just seem like the best of friends and seem to enjoy every minute they spend together!! We just couldn't be happier for them!

Me and her mom are hosting a reception for them on Saturday--so will be busy the rest of the week getting it together!

Spent today running all over town, not the best food choices but not too much of anything plus drank green tea or water all day, so hopefully didn't do too bad. Tomorrow will get me back to normal (at least until Saturday!)


Someone asked about exercise: I like walking and using Wii Active. Mostly the Wii Active. I was doing the 30 day challenge but yesterday I started my own workout on the game and really enjoyed it more! One thing about Wii Active is you realize how much activity it takes to burn a few calories and will sure make you think about every calorie you put in your mouth.

CONGRATS on the new addition to your family!!

CONGRATS on the new addition to your family!!

Thanks! We just love her and are so glad she came into his life. Everyone that meets them says they are a perfect match.

 

[tlenzendorf]

Congrats on the wedding!

I made a similar trifle to the one you posted Eliz. I agree, it is super tasty!

Yeah, its pretty easy to get ordained online! It took me about 1.5 minutes and $13.33

 

[Moosemomma]

I did so well staying in control over the weekend and today I've been stuffing my face left and right Didn't get out for my walk tonight either so that didn't help. I find the days I walk I'm more motivated to make better choices. Need to rein this in and I'm hoping that posting here will help get me back on track!!!
Now it's time for me to get to bed before I find myself in the kitchen again

[CrabbyYetLovable]

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I don't "offically" start my new way of eating until Monday, but wanted to find a place to communicate with others going trough the same things. I'm trying to ease into this new way of eating a little bit, as in, stop eating a full container of ice cream, not eating bacon-cheese fries twice a week for dinner, making better choices when I eat out etc. I don't have anyone else to cook for, therefore, no one else to be accountable to at home for my eating habits.

So, Monday I start the USANA Reset. USANA is based off the blood sugar highs and lows that occur after eating high-glycemic foods. When your blood sugar drops, you get really hungry, and crave the high sugar foods. The foods that are high glycemic are ones that are typical in the American diet (white breads, refined flour, potatoes, and many others). The reset is basically to get your blood sugars stable, and to get you off the roller coaster. Damn, I'm starting to sound like an advertisment! LOL!

The reset is only for 5 days, with 3 shakes and one fruit and one veggie per day. I know it sounds crazy, but there is a TON of protein and fiber in these shakes to fill you up. I was so skeptical, but my friend who started me on this is an MD, and he's sold on it and is getting his patients started on it. His wife lost 4 pounds initially on the reset, and 20 total by following the USANA way of eating. Hopefully it will work for me!

I haven't heard of the 6 week challenge that you guys are talking about, but I'd be interested to look it up. Someone said they had a 750 cal/day limit! Ouch!

And that story about Alli!?! I had thought about starting it when it firt came out, but I read about the side effects... no thank you!

You can do this!! Dr. Oz says when you detour off your path toward healthy living the best thing you can do is own it, forgive yourself and make a u-turn. We're not perfect. There are gonna be days we get off plan. The important thing is to get back on and not let our getting off for a day or however long derail us for life.

Chew gum, drinks lots of water, brush your teeth (cus nothing tastes good with toothpaste mouth), go for a walk, go sit in a quiet dark room and meditate/pray, do some online window shopping and drool over some cute outfits you'd wear if you were at goal weight. Do whatever you need to do to reset yourself. Trust me I've been there too! I've had days where I eat and eat and eat and know I shouldn't be doing it and do it anyway. You can do this and we're ALL here for you!! You did a great thing already by posting here!!

Thats so awesome!! Congrats to your son!! You sound like a great Mother in Law too!!! My MIL entered into counseling to get through mine and DH's wedding! Long story. She loves me now. Anyway... too bad that you and tlenzendorf didn't talk sooner. She totally could have practiced her new ordained minister skills on your kids!

The 6 week body makeover doesn't have any calories limits. Tons of other limits but no calorie limits per se. BUT when I tracked what I was eating, that's where I was for the day! So no thanks.

I'm interested (here I go again ) in this USANA reset. Will have to research!!

Good luck getting started on your new lifestyle! Taking baby steps is important but sometimes a big leap of faith in ourselves is important too!! Sounds like you're doing both!



Personal Notes:
I had a great day today!! Finally feeling better! Got 40 mins in on the bike tonight and didn't feel winded too badly til the end and was able to bump up the speed again. I consumed 1532 of my 1598 cals allowed a day. Went over on fat but I know why. I had regular creamy italian dressing with my artichoke for dinner tonight. I drank a TON of water and am still chugging. Am currently curled up on the couch. The house is quiet.... all 3 boys (hubby included) are asleep and my chihuahua and I are about to watch Biggest Loser! It's so awesome and motivating to watch that show sitting on the couch after having been to the gym and eating on target for the day, instead of sitting on the couch, knowing that's where you've been ALL day and eating a bowl of ice cream while you watch! KWIM? (thanks Amy for reminding me about that lovely abbreviation ) You guys rocks and skinny island is a lifesaver to me, for sure!

Night all!

 

[ancestry]

Morning All!

I will try to answer some of the questions that I was asked but discovered that I can't quote a quote.....lol!

I use machines for the weight training at the YMCA. I don't do free weights unless I can't go to the Y. For example when I was sick with the respiratory infection and was coughing too much I did do some free weights at home. There are a total of 13 different machines that work 15 different muscles groups -- i.e. two of the machines work two different muscle groups. I do 3 sets of 10 reps every other day (always allowing at least 48 hours in between weight training sets). All of the machines are Cybex machines. I started with the weights on pretty low amounts and have increased the weight as necessary.

Background: I originally didn't join the YMCA for myself. My youngest two needed to take swimming lessons and it was cheaper for us to become family members then it was to pay for swimming lessons for non-members. Swimming lessons are free if you are family members. Once we joined as a family so they could take swimming lessons I decided to "get my money's worth" and made myself start going to the gym. (They call the gym portion the Wellness Center). I originally got set up with the equipment by one of the personal trainers there. The training session was free and was included in the membership. During regular daytime hours there is usually a trainer in the gym area who can answer questions or help you with things if you need it.

Off the top of my head I can't recall the proper names of the machines but here are my made up names for them. Hopefully some of them are the proper names:

1) Chest Press
2) Leg Press
3) Row (this one does two different exercises)
4) Hip Abductor/Adductor (One machine does both)
5) Abdominal
6) Lateral Pulldown
7) Overhead Press
8) Leg Extension
9) Leg Curl
10) Arm Curl
11) Arm Extension
12) Torso Rotation
13) Back Extension

Doing the full set of all of the weights usually takes me about an hour.

For cardio, which I do daily, I vary between the Arc Trainer, Elliptical, Stationary Bike, and Treadmill. I do an hour of cardio each day with no more than 30 minutes on any one machine. Some times I do 15 minutes on four different machines. I do change up the work out level and program on each machine regularly.

I see the greatest results in my body on the Arc Trainer. Here is a website that shows the Arc Trainer http://www.arctrainer.com/. I originally called this machine the torture device but man it has made such a huge difference in my body.

On days that I don't want to go to the gym or on days when my muscles feel "weak" I walk about 4.5 miles with 1/2 of that being up a steep hill simply because of the layout of the roads around my house.

I think that is about it for the exercise stuff. I know some of you asked about food and food journals. I will try to post more about food, food items, calories, journals, etc. later.

 

[ancestry]

Interesting information/article I found about calorie burning during exercise. I actually found this on the Cybex Arc Trainer website:

Energy expenditure is most often reflected in the number of calories that we burn during exercise. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Centigrade. Therefore, the total caloric expenditure during exercise is really a measure of the amount of heat given off by the body during the activity. Measuring this directly is very complicated and impractical, involving a sealed air chamber and water bath. There are, however, indirect measures of caloric output.

The best indirect measure of caloric expenditure is the volume of oxygen consumed during exercise. There is a very linear relationship between oxygen consumption and calories expended. In fact, the body utilizes, on average, approximately 4.8 calories for each liter of oxygen that it consumes.

We could apply a standard measure of oxygen consumption to different forms of exercise, such as running at 5.5 miles per hour, multiply that by the duration of the exercise bout, and then again by 4.8, yielding total calories consumed during that exercise interval. This is, in fact, the way many devices compute caloric expenditure. The problem with this method is that there are many factors, such as body weight or fitness level, which may alter the volume of oxygen consumed during exercise. It is necessary, therefore, to actually measure the volume of oxygen consumed during exercise, using metabolic analysis equipment. This too is both complex and impractical
outside of a medical or university laboratory.

A second level of indirect calorimetry involves the use of heart rate. In most people there is a direct relationship between heart rate and the amount of oxygen consumed. In fact, many prediction equations which calculate oxygen consumption from heart rate have been established. Thus, by applying the associative property we can see that if oxygen consumption equates to
caloric expenditure, and heart rate equates to oxygen consumption, then heart rate equates to caloric expenditure. This, in fact, is the principle upon which heart rate monitors can calculate calorie burn. There is, of course, one caveat.

According to Astrand and Rodahl (1986), [Textbook of Work Physiology: Physiological Bases of Exercise. P 493. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York] when using heart rate to compare caloric expenditure on two different devices, it is necessary to ensure that both devices utilize the same large muscle groups, since cardiac output will be influenced by the number and size of working muscles, and the relative level of work performed by those muscles. Thus, if two devices having similar movements, involve different muscles, and those muscles are working at different percentages of their maximum capacity, then the caloric expenditure from those devices cannot
be predicted from the heart rates achieved during exercise.

Good Morning everyone!
Ancestry - great info! That was really awesome you shared. So detailed!

LuvsJack - Happy family and wedding and I hope they have a long and joyous life together!!

To those struggling: Gellybean was totally right - forgive and move on because guilt just brings with it more pounds.

For me, when I do not eat a good protein filled breakfast - I am starving at night. Not a good place to be so I need to always get food in me whether I think I need it or not.

Getting myself to the grocery store later and loading up on good for me food. Really have not bought any junk lately - just no food in the house so scrounging does not equal healthy.

**RE: NCAA eligibility.

Treyner met with his compliance coordinator and she is saying she found a loophole that states he only needs 12 credits. Because it goes by 2 semesters at his current school. Would need 24 by end of fall.

According to the NCAA - that would be okay if he had the 6 credits needed to transfer into Anderson but since he did not, he is on a different path to eligibility.

She is meeting with the head of the department and is supposed to get back to Treyner by 11 am today.

I think no matter what we will be having him take the 6 summer credits so he is safe at the 24 that has been thrown around. Take new classes online at Anderson so they count towards credits and GPA vs redoing some he did not get the best grade at which would only affect GPA.

I told him to tell her he wanted an e-mail stating what she ends up finally giving him as the consensus. Try and always protect himself in writing.

The fact I have not gained is great through this but honestly, has been the biggest time and emotional suckfest of the past 2 years since the start of his senior year.

Today's agenda: Pick up Dad at 9:15 for Optometrist appt. Then get him lunch and drop him back off. Round trip is 40 miles plus time for appt.

Make commitment to walk this afternoon as Carsyn has a Rugby game at 5 p.m.

Track food.

Amen.

 

[Dizneydawn]

Breakfast:
1 egg, scrambled
2/3 cup of frozen peas
89 grams of frozen broccoli
Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herbs
1/2 tbsp butter

heated peas and broccoli, then put scrambled egg into same pan - after egg is cooked I tossed together and seasoned to taste.

Breakfast TOTALS: Calories: 226 Carbs: 19 Fat: 11 Protein: 14

Snack I am bringing with to eye Dr to eat in 1 1/2 hours = fresh pineapple planks.

Pineapple, fresh: 250 grams Calories: 123 Carbs: 31 Fat: 1 Protein: 1

Now I need to shower - and in 1/2 an hour. Drink at least 40 oz of water.

Need to get this darn water back in my system!

Goal: 130 oz.

Okay guys...how was your breakfast??? I think I am going to start doing this. Posting as I go here vs waiting the whole day - too easy to hide if I wait the whole day. I need accountability for each meal. NEED IT!!!

 

[Dizneydawn]

And...while I am on a roll - I decided to get very real here.

I want to be under 200 by my birthday which is at the end of August.
Sparkpeople is saying it is impossible as they only want people my age to lose a max of 3.5 a week.

So then I decided to be more realistic and moved it to Dan and my trip in October.

I can achieve it if I stay on pace tracking, within the nutrition guidelines and also exercise by October 10th.

So I want to go from 260 pounds...(yes I typed that out loud and I don't give a rats a&& who can read it anymore) - to 199 by October 10th.

The last time I weighed 199 was 5 years ago and it was for one day and I sabotaged myself back to my starting weight of 254 plus 10 at the heaviest.

So I will work towards it for my birthday, 220 is what they say I can achieve by then...but honestly, if I work hard...by that day in October - I want 189. I want to be at the lowest and have a cushy margin to feel safe away from that spot of 199.

Yes, I could easily have that if I would have been on track since the start here or last year or whenever. But I have not.

So this is my reality.

Contract for myself coming up this afternoon.

 

[tlenzendorf]

Ok, ok. I knew food posting should/would be coming... here is where I really get held accountable... So here is what I had for breakfast. 2 packets of Quaker Strawberry Oatmeal.

The day always starts good

 

[albertamommyof4]

Dawn you go girl .
Hey everyone good job this week.
This week has been very enjoyable as i have been working out with wii fit and having a blast, keeping up with my water intake and now finnally eating ll my daily points or very very close to.
Have a great day
