Okay, so the Threetervilles and the Twotervilles have their thread, and the Onderlanders have theirs, and as as we all know, the closer you get to goal, the harder it is. You start living life in Decades. You want to go from the 190's to the 180's and on down to goal weight.

I'm stuck in the 70's. (176-179) What decade are you in? Let's help each other celebrate the Decades!

Mrs Sabre

I'm in the 80s, but hope to join you in the 70s soon! :)

I've been 175-179 forever it feels. I'd love to see the 60's!

Alicia521

11-16-2006, 11:51 AM

I'm in the 80's finally...188.4 is my lowest. I hope to make a quick transition to the 70's. I'd like to be there by January 2007.

HeatherGurl

11-16-2006, 12:01 PM

I am in the 90's. Don't know if I want to go lower, but I definitely don't want to go higher...

Jill

11-17-2006, 06:12 AM

90's here. Hoping to see 180 by my birthday in Feb.

Kathy

11-17-2006, 06:14 AM

So, who will be the first to change decades? I got a small fill yesterday, so here I come 60's!!! Come on, ya'll, the battles are hard fought at this point. We can do it!

Alicia521

11-17-2006, 07:40 AM

Good luck Kathy!
I had my 3rd adjustment on 11/7. I dropped about 4 lbs and now I am already stuck. I think I am stuck because I am not getting enough calories so hopefully over the next week I can eat more and get the scale moving again.

Kathy

11-17-2006, 08:45 AM

Yes Alicia! have you logged your food on Sparkpeople or FitDay? If you are getting less than 1000 calories in, you'll have a hard time dropping it at some point. I'm back down to 177.8 since Wed when I weighed 181. It isn't new territory, but I anticipate hitting a wall again if I don't get enough calories. Funny, that metabolism thing. Good luck to you, too! Keep me posted!

11-17-2006, 12:01 PM

Hey Kathy - Been stuck in the 60's for forever now.... Although I like the 60's - always wanted to be a hippie... oops wrong 60's! Headed for the 50's, slowly but surely.... one decade at a time :-) Hope your fill works out well for you!

Irish Girl

11-18-2006, 12:55 PM

I have made it into the 150's. Oh my gosh....I can't remember that last time I was there.

Alicia521

11-20-2006, 07:47 AM

Kathy - I haven't been tracking like I should in sparkpeople, but I am going to start back today. It's almost my TOM so I actually shot up 3 lbs...ugh! How is your adjustment going so far?

paula

11-20-2006, 08:53 AM

I was in the 80's for a year and a half!
no lie.
Every now and then Id take a peek at 179, 177 - - - next day Id be back in the 80's.

Proud as a Peacock, I stand tall and say, I havent seen the 80's in about 3 months! :D:D:D
Had my little visit with Auntie Flo and I went to 176, but this morning I was back at 174. Wahootie!
:rockon: Im luvin the 70's, Man!:rockon:

Now, just thinkin about the 60's gives me the jiggly tummy!

Alicia521

11-20-2006, 12:21 PM

Too funny Paula! I can't wait to join you in the 70s

Kathy

11-20-2006, 01:40 PM

Excellent work, Paula! Slow and steady wins the race. OMGosh! You are below me! Let's race to 173...I feel it comin'. Alicia, my fill is working well. No PBs or stuck so far, but mushies end after tomorrow, so we'll be testing new foods soon. I'll be careful! I'm "less hungry" so that's very very good.

Noone has changed Decades yet? See? It's HARDER!!!!! :nod:

JudyBellyBand

11-20-2006, 01:44 PM

I'm back into the 70's and working s-o-o hard to stay there... ;o)
Oh yea!!! love that AA statement I read today "It's easier to stay sober than to get sober."

AMEN!!!!

Alicia521

12-06-2006, 09:14 AM

I'm down to 185.8 - anyone else changed decades yet?

Kathy

12-06-2006, 09:49 AM

Ooooo Alicia! Good job!!!

I have seen as low as 173.4 right after being sick and not eating for several days. Then I quit smoking, but I seem to be doing pretty well. I forgot to weigh this morning, but yesterday I was 173.8, I think? I'll run with this as best I can, but wedding weight is right around the corner at 168. I can't WAIT to get there!

This last 5 pounds have given me some comments from friends and folks at church. It's showing, another 5 will be grand! Yay us!!!

Alicia521

12-06-2006, 11:09 AM

That's great Kathy. Losing and quitting smoking at the same time. To most, that is unheard of. Wow the low 170s! The 5 lbs will show a lot more on you because you are getting so small.

Jachut

12-06-2006, 02:13 PM

I cant break the 180's. But I havent been trying very hard, lol.

Alicia521

12-31-2006, 12:00 PM

I have finally entered a new decade. 179.2 to be exact. What a great decade to start off the new year. Here I come 160s!

JDru

12-31-2006, 12:29 PM

I'm starting out the new year in the 190s (what a terrible, fashionless decade!). I hope to get the to 80s by Valentine's Day!

Stitchy

12-31-2006, 12:31 PM

I've been happily in the 70's for a few weeks, Then Christmas hit. I'm revisiting the 80's. Getting a fill next week. I hope it's tight. This is the year of Git-R-Done! Goal by April!!!!

Kathy

12-31-2006, 08:56 PM

I have revisited the 80's as well. SIGH. Quitting smoking is HARD! Nope, take that back. Quitting smoking is easy, NOT eating after quitting is HARD! I think there's the whole metabolism thing I'm fighting, too. I don't know why it changes but it sure is hard not to gain. I was 180.0 this morning so I hope the up and down between these two decades is over soon!

bandayed

01-01-2007, 07:56 AM

You can kick the butts Kath! Quitting smoking is THE worst! I had to stay away from coffee and booze for a while too when I was quitting since they triggered me to smoke. Not replacing it with food is hard too. I have to say that I am an almost constant gum chewer now.....I know some band Docs say gum is a no no but I haven't swallowed a piece since I was 4 so I feel pretty confident in my abilities no to do so at almost age 40! Good luck Sistah!
PS I am forever in the 80s (which is where I probably belong --style wise and mentally ;))

Kathy

01-01-2007, 08:13 AM

LMBO on the terrible fashionless 90's JDru! :lol:

Thanks bandayed. It stinks! Last night I recorded a show called The Resolutionaries. This episode was about 3 people who quit smoking. I recorded it when they gave a preview of one of the girls kicking her cabinet door because it wouldn't stay shut. Aaaarrrrggghhhh!!!! I could so relate to that frustration! I'm going to watch the show today, just to amuse myself about how amusing I am at the expense of these poor people. :lol: anyhow, it's been well over a month since I quit. I started taking Wellbutrin a few days ago just because the anxiety level was getting so frustrating. ??? Who knows, I hope it helps. The last time I took Wellbutrin I got the Hives after a week. We'll see.

Anyhow, I can sure live without the 80's fashion and Molly Ringwald dancing. :wacko: and I can REALLY live without the 80's on my scale! :eek:

Alicia, you are just flying through the decades, girl! WTG!!!! :clap2:

Neal R.

01-02-2007, 06:39 PM

I started this month in the 190's as well. Would love to see the 80's (best music ever :))

Alicia521

01-04-2007, 08:56 AM

[quote=Kathy;21969Alicia, you are just flying through the decades, girl! WTG!!!! :clap2:[/quote]

Thanks! I have a feeling the 70s are going to be much slower. I am thinking of doing a low carb diet this month to help me jumpstart my weight this year!

Natural-1

01-04-2007, 09:56 AM

Hey, I'm with this tread. I was in the 70's but have revisited the 80's again so my goal is to get back down and continue from there.

HeatherGurl

01-04-2007, 10:29 AM

Well, I am with you on re-visiting the old decades Natural. I was in the 80's and now I am in the 90's, but not for long.
Here I come 189.9!!!
You know I have to AT LEAST get back to 184 since that was my lowest and SURELY with hard work and exercise I can get to my new goal of 180.

Natural, you are a tall one, I bet you look very slender! Have we seen pics of you? Remind me please, as my brain seems to be fried today! :)

"Just" Paul

01-04-2007, 10:32 AM

I want to get under 200.

Been stalled for months now, but haven't been working my program as much as I should... I will now.

If I want to get PS by the end of the year I need to do two things... maintain my goal weight for several months... and save enough cash (about $8000) for the procedure I want. AAARRGH.

Irish Girl

01-04-2007, 02:55 PM

I have been hanging out in the 50's for over a month. The body just won't let go. I am hoping to be at my goal of 135 by my birthday in March.

We can do it......dancing our way through the decades.

Kathy473

01-04-2007, 03:00 PM

I have been in the 80's :mullet: since April and I dipped my toe into the 70's for a brief moment and then the time machine shipped my ass back! :tsk: Oh well.....hopefully after getting my fill today I will see the 70's soon...Peace out! :hippie:

Neal R.

01-04-2007, 03:07 PM

I am hinging on to the 90's. I liked it better when I was bigger and the weight came off faster - well not really the bigger part, just the faster part.

Alicia521

01-05-2007, 06:26 AM

I am hinging on to the 90's. I liked it better when I was bigger and the weight came off faster - well not really the bigger part, just the faster part.

Amen to that! The weight has been creeping for me since I got to the 80s!

HeatherGurl

01-05-2007, 06:47 AM

OK, slowly but surely... 192.8 this morning... I am SO close to the freakin 80's I can taste it.
I agree Neal!!! Who would have ever thought that is would be SO damn hard to lose 10 freaking pounds. I NEVER knew what people were talking about before. When I was over 300 lbs, I could lose 10 in a day :)

Jill

01-06-2007, 08:48 AM

190's were slow.

180's are even slower.

I dread the 170's seriously :(

HeatherGurl

01-08-2007, 06:21 AM

Ugh, I am back to 195 lbs! I just hate that number since I know that I was lower not too long ago.
Too much junk this weekend. I guess I just thought it wouldn't effect me :)

Alicia521

01-19-2007, 09:05 AM

I am here to say the 70s suck! I have been gaining and losing the same pound for about 3 weeks now. I cannot get below 178. I have been exercising like a mad woman this week and NOTHING. GRR!

Kathy

01-19-2007, 09:23 AM

Ugh. I wishing I could get back into the 70's. Quitting smoking is worth it, I guess?, and I topped out at about 187 and have managed to get back down to the 181-182 range. Still working on losing what I have gained. I'd looove to see the 70's again! Keep at it Alicia. It WILL work!

Mrs Sabre

01-19-2007, 11:39 AM

Kathy, quitting smoking is worth it! You'll get there again; you're a fighter.

After yo-yoing over the holidays, I believe I may now be firmly planted in the 70s! :D More exercise and another fill definitely helped me!

JDru

01-19-2007, 11:47 AM

I hate the 90s! I have been stuck here since before Christmas. I hope to break into the 80s in the next couple of weeks!

Neal R.

Dr.A

01-21-2007, 11:48 AM

Ok...now that I am in onederland...how come I am stuck...was 198, traveled to SFO and have been stuck at 199-200!!! I am moving a bit more, but my band does feel more open, so I have been eating larger protions, but still within 850 to 1100 calories a day! Sometimes even 1300!

I hope to get down to 197 soon otherwise I think it might be time to get my first fill!

Dr.A

01-28-2007, 08:34 AM

I am not stuck anymore!!! down to 196...30lbs!! It took forever to lose the little 2lbs to get there!

Neal R.

01-28-2007, 10:07 AM

Awsome job Dr. A!!!! Love your new avatar too.

Thanks Neal! :D

lil'bitty

01-28-2007, 11:39 AM

Ok, new decade for me. Woke up at 188 this morning. Since my slip up a couple of weeks ago, the weight has come off good. I wonder is a couple of days of higher calorie intake tricked my body into kicking up my metabolism? I don't care what it is, I am liking the last couple of weeks weight loss.

Neal that always does it for me. I splurge and then jump back on the wagon and the weight moves a little faster when I first get back on.

Great job!

Irish Girl

01-28-2007, 12:29 PM

Oh My Gosh!!! I tiptoed into the 40's today. 149 to be exact....but I am there.

"Just Jess"

01-28-2007, 01:47 PM

I hate the 90s! I have been stuck here since before Christmas. I hope to break into the 80s in the next couple of weeks!

i am here in the 90's with you --- albeit a century greater than you at the moment... BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, gradually working closer to the 80's! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Neal! :D

Want to say that to you too, Dr.A!! :) You're very pretty!

Neal R.

01-28-2007, 08:14 PM

Great job Irish and Jess! :)

doglover

01-29-2007, 05:14 PM

I have been stuck at 188 for 4 months, but I had my fill today. I'm hopful that some of this weight will start moving again soon.

HeatherGurl

01-31-2007, 02:43 PM

ok... I am getting closer to getting back into the 80's. Maybe Sunday I will have a good report... :)

Neal R.

01-31-2007, 02:53 PM

Heather - You can do it!

02-06-2007, 10:56 AM

I am stuck at 194-5 I am near my TOM maybe it's water... I hope I get tight again tis time with TOM so I can lose some weight...a temporary fill without the needle! :D

JDru

02-06-2007, 11:23 AM

Ugh...I'm STILL stuck in the stupid 90's. Weighed in at 191 this morning...2 more pounds!!!!

Alicia521

02-06-2007, 12:33 PM

I feel like my body has stopped at the 70s. I am over it! 169 where are you?

fauxnaif

02-10-2007, 06:10 AM

I went from the 80s to the 70s a day or two ago and I am ecstatic!!!

JDru

02-10-2007, 11:08 AM

I made it to 189.8 today!! Finally broke through the 180s...barely. :)

PhotoNut

02-10-2007, 11:48 AM

I got a peek at the 190s when I entered Onederland at 199.5. I then saw 198 and I was so sure I was finally going to start a downward trend but omg 200 snuck in on me again even though Im being so good about everything. So.. I had Dawg hide the battery from me until Sundays. No more driving myself crazy on a daily basis.

Anyway, I've decided to claim my journey of decades now. So my first goal is 189. I'll let ya know when I get there, and I'll whine some along the way if it takes too long. *snickers*

"Just Jess"

02-10-2007, 11:57 AM

i am hanging onto the 90s for dear life apparently!!!!!!!! TENTHS away from the 80s!!!!!!!!!!!! C'MON!

lil'bitty

02-10-2007, 12:00 PM

Jessica, Congrats!!! P'Nut, I'm with you. I was down and for no reason went back up!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate my scale, but I love it!

Kathy

02-10-2007, 08:41 PM

OMGosh! Look at all the movement here, ya'll!!!!! Excellent work, the Decades are just moving on by, well done! I wanna see the 70's again :( Let's just go kicking and screaming together. I'm on a week-long temper tantrum. After tomorrow it will be over and I'll get back on track. I just decided that Monday, I'm scheduling a fill. :)

Dr.A

02-25-2007, 07:28 AM

I finally made it to 189!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :nod: So happy! It took so long... I was stuck at 190-192 for so long!! As soon as I get back from Paris I will schedule a fill.

JDru

02-25-2007, 09:48 AM

Paris?? Dr. A I am so jealous! Have you been there before? It's an amazing city...I want to hear all abotu it! And congrats on hitting 189. :)

I haven't weighed myself today because I'm at my parents' house and I don't like their scale. Tomorrow...I hope I'm still in the 80s.

Neal R.

02-26-2007, 12:35 PM

Great news Angela! Have a great time in Paris :)

HeatherGurl

02-26-2007, 01:32 PM

Congrats Dr. A! I am looking for 189? :) I am NOT going to complain about my 196 tho!

Keep it moving yall!

Alicia521

02-26-2007, 01:49 PM

Man I hope I can be in the 60s by March! I think 1999 is the last time I weighed in the 160s and that was for a blink of an eye!

Neal R.

02-26-2007, 01:54 PM

03-07-2007, 07:19 PM

I am so close to 169. I am 171.8. I REALLY hope to be there next week. I will be doing cartwheels if I get there!

Neal R.

03-07-2007, 07:30 PM

You so close Alicia, you can do this!

Alicia521

03-07-2007, 07:35 PM

Thanks Neal! I feel so close yet so far away!

Dr.A

03-11-2007, 01:23 PM

Alicia you a re soooo close!!

I reached my next goal of 40 lbs lost this morning!!! So now I will do it by decades for sure...I am 186 now and my next goal is 179!!!! I have not seen that number well...in decades!!!!!!!!:Cry: But soon I will again!! :sun_smiley:

JDru

03-11-2007, 11:14 PM

Congrats Angela...you are doing so well!

Alicia you are SO, SO close! I know you can do it! :)

I'm back in the damn 90s and I am not amused.

Alicia521

03-12-2007, 10:19 AM

Hang in there Jessica, I've had a bad week too. No changes. I knew it would be this way once I got close to changing decades!

JDru

03-12-2007, 10:53 AM

Thanks Alicia! I'm going in for a fill today...it better help!!

HeatherGurl

03-12-2007, 11:07 AM

ok you guys... I am 5 pounds away from the '80's. I am so ready to be there!!!
Thank goodness I am farther away from that dang 200!!!!

Alicia521

03-12-2007, 01:54 PM

Your kickin' butt lately Heather!

HeatherGurl

03-12-2007, 01:55 PM

Sure am trying!!! 20 pounds left to go doesn't sound as daunting as 30! :)

Neal R.

03-12-2007, 01:59 PM

Its all downhill from here Heather. You will be at goal in no time! :)

HeatherGurl

03-12-2007, 02:03 PM

Well, you were all telling me that before :) Then I went and ate like a pig for 2 months. I am 10 pounds away from my all time low... so that really is encouraging for me.

Neal R.

03-12-2007, 02:08 PM

Were not jinxing you this time :)

Alicia521

03-12-2007, 02:11 PM

No jinxing, Man the last 20 are rough! I think it is going to take me another 10 months to get this last freakin' 18 off!

HeatherGurl

03-12-2007, 02:11 PM

OK, sounds good!

NotSoFunny

03-13-2007, 09:55 AM

Neal R.

I'm back down to the 80s:188.2! It's my lowest yet...but I don't officially count my weight until Sunday. Cross your fingers...

Great job Jessica :)

Alicia521

03-13-2007, 11:44 AM

Jessica you are too funny! I claim the weight if it lasts a day!

HeatherGurl

03-13-2007, 02:15 PM

Alicia... I have to tell you that I am DYING for you to hit the 169 mark!!! It is almost as exciting for me watching you as it is for me trying to hit the 189 mark!!!

You are so dang close lady!!!! I can't wait to hear when you break the barrier.

Dr.A

03-13-2007, 02:31 PM

Congrats Angela...you are doing so well!

Alicia you are SO, SO close! I know you can do it! :)

I'm back in the damn 90s and I am not amused.

JDru you will get there...also don't forget we can fluctuate due to water by up to 10lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:faint:

anyway, congrats to everyone and keep on truckin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay Jess!!! That is SO awesome! You are on your way and we're in the 80s together. :) I'm at 187.8 this morning...I'm not complaining. :)

I wonder how Alicia is doing...she's been quiet the past couple of days.

Here I am. We've been super busy! Still no 60's for me :( I briefly got to 170.6 but have gone back up to 171.2...hopefully this will be my magical week!

HeatherGurl

03-22-2007, 11:56 AM

I sure do need a push!!! That scale says 191 !!! WOOTT!!!
Just 2 more pounds to be in the '80s... I can just about taste 'em!!!

Hopefully I will be there by Monday???

Natural-1

03-22-2007, 12:27 PM

Well, finally, I am near my personal goal and I am at my doctor's goal of 178. So I'm in the 70's and would love to stay there for the next 20 to 30 years!

:irock:
So, here's the story... I was really hoping for a good loss this week, but we had MAJOR partying to do Saturday night (so major that I never went to bed and was eating crawfish at 7AM) :tequila:
Anyways... when we got home yesterday I got on the scale... It said 188! Thought I was still seeing doubles... but nope, that was right.
I get up this morning and that LOVELY number stuck!!!! 188 lbs!!! !YAYAYAYAYAAAYYY
:yahoo:I couldn't be more happier!:yahoo:

Back from Paris...wondering if I should weigh myself tomorrow...i am a bit nervous since I did indulge, but I walked alot! The scale there at my friend's is in kilos and I did the conversion so if the scale is right I evven lost a bit of weight... I wonder what my scale will say :confused: I hope it is down a lb. or two...at least I hope i did not gain! I really want to get to 179 before my son's wedding!

JDru

Ha ha!! Jess I can TOTALLY see you as a cheerleader! Get that cheerleading outfit back on girl. :)

I'm kind of getting tired of working out when I'm at the gym. I'm going to take a day or two off and see if that helps restore my motivation...

"Just Jess"

04-09-2007, 12:53 PM

Ha ha!! Jess I can TOTALLY see you as a cheerleader! Get that cheerleading outfit back on girl. :)

Isn't that crazy? I used to weigh a little less than 2 times me now... (like that doesn't sounds corn-fusing)
Highest weight 365 divided by 2 equals....182.5 So, the other morning I was 183 which isn't far from that.
That is just nuts!!!

I could see you as a cheerleader too Jess! :)

"Just Jess"

04-09-2007, 02:08 PM

As of this morning......

I weigh 179.8

I had to weigh 4 times just to be sure I was awake and not seeing things!!!! WOOT!!!!!
I never thought I would see the -70's!!!!!! I still feel great also. I have really been trying to eat better and I guess it is helping things out!!!

Alicia521

04-25-2007, 09:35 AM

That's amazing! I am trying to get back to the 160s! Hopefully by this weekend or I will officially change my signature.

JDru

04-25-2007, 11:11 AM

That is so awesome Heather!! You continue to amaze me with your incredible weight loss. I'm trying to get to the 70s myself...I was down to 182 right before Easter so I though I might make it by May 1. But then I ate a bunch of Easter candy. :) I'm at 184.4 today...

I just gave blood and told my REAL weight. The guy looked at me like I was nuts when I said 179.8! :) It was great!

Alicia521

04-30-2007, 01:34 PM

I am so upset. It took me forever to get in the 160s and I was there for like a week and now I am stuck again at 172.6. GRR! I think I already need another fill and I just got bumped up again last Tuesday.

Alicia521

06-04-2007, 08:35 PM

Well I went all the way up to 175.8 and now I'm back down to 172. The 70s are getting really freakin old!

OK, I am shooting for the 80's again. I was so Dam Close to the 60s and now look at me.
I don't care what my scale says at the moment, but I need my jeans to fit again!!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Who would have ever thought that 20 pounds would make SUCH A freaking difference?????

Alicia521

06-05-2007, 08:19 AM

Kathy, you will be there again! I know you get discouraged about the gain but you QUIT smoking!!!!! That is huge!!!

Cheryl - welcome to onederland - that is awesome!

Heather, you'll be back too. And I know what you mean. 20 lbs when you are over 200 doesn't make too much difference in clothes, but after you get below 200 it really can make a difference in the way clothes fit.

Wow!! Everyone is busting up the decades! I'm still stuck in the stupid 80s. I was SO close 180.8 a few times and this morning I was 182.4!! I really wanted to hit the 70s by June 1...but I didn't make that. I really hate the scale sometimes!!
You are right, I am busting up the decades insteads of busting down!!! I keep on going up, up and away!!!!:nod:

Scale read 190.8 this morning.... if I can get rid of 1 little ol' pound.... I will be in the 80s! :)
I am just very greatful that I am not near the 200s like last time I had an unfill. :)
I am really working this band with no fill. I am very proud of all the dang exercising! :)

Idahobeauty

06-20-2007, 07:53 AM

Susan...how do you do it?? You're melting away! :) Heather you're SO close! You have been kicking butt with all your exercising.

I've been under 180 all week according to my sister's analog scale...let's hope I can keep it there.

I work out on P'Nuts schedule!!! We do TONS of stuff at the gym. On a daily basis we are burning between 900-1284 cals per day. My weight may skyrocket while I am in Holland and Germany though. I was going to take my scale but I decided against it.....well for now. This morning I was 185!!!!!!!!

HeatherGurl

06-20-2007, 08:03 AM

OK, I am OFFICIALLY not happy. I KNOW that I shouldn't focus on the freaking scales.. but UGH already. I am working my arse off at the gym and nothing is happening. I am SO tempted to go and get a fill. I just really like being able to eat a wide variety of healthy foods.
I think I am going to get rid of the scale for a while. I have never done this, I am a STRONG advocate of weighing daily. But, that damn thing is making me depressed!

Alicia521

06-20-2007, 08:17 AM

I think my body is just clinging to the 170s - I hover around 171-172 no matter how much water I drink or exercising I do, I just seem to have hit a major plateau. Which is very frustrating because I still have fat to lose! I'm almost to the point where I am just not going to worry about it and try to lose more weight after I get pregnant and have a baby.

"Just Jess"

IDAHO: you are burning the amount of calories that i am eating........... HOW is that possible?????????????????????? please share your workout regiment! and just curious, what is your daily caloric intake??? i'm thinking you've got to end in the negative after working out like that!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe
I'M IN AWE! :nod:

Idahobeauty

06-20-2007, 01:27 PM

LOL.. Jess, I am in the negative all the time. I eat between 900-1200 calories per day. Some days I go a little lower but when I do I make sure that I get all my protein in. We just do kickboxing or step aerobics for an hour and then we go do water aerobics right after for an hour. We sweat like pigs but I just keep telling myself that the sweat is melted fat pouring out of my skin...LOL. I have not done it this week but I was also running 2 miles per day and walking 3 miles. You will get there Jess! Just keep on track and it will come. I swear by lots of excersise to get things moving.

HeatherGurl

06-20-2007, 01:31 PM

OK, Susan... you are the new Telly! That is great that you are running 2 miles a day! Wow!

It is seriously awesome that you Ideehos have each other to work out with. There is NO one that I have to work out with in the mornings! :)

Idahobeauty

Alicia521

06-20-2007, 03:06 PM

I can't figure out how to burn more than 400 per hour. Right now my goal is to get in 30 minutes of cardio (I work out during my lunch at work) I can't devote much more than 30 minutes while I'm at work. At night I will sometimes do my Firm Video or swim laps which is usually another 30 minutes. I guess if I did a complete hour I might burn 400 per day. I'm not sure how much I burn when I strength train.

Idahobeauty

06-20-2007, 03:10 PM

Alicia, I have never found a calorie count on strength training either. I just chalk it up as bonus calories...LOL As far as time being an issue, can you get in 1/2 hour in the morning and 1/2 hour at night? It would all come out the same.

Alicia521

06-21-2007, 03:09 PM

I don't even try for mornings anymore because I am a sleepy head and have been for 30 years. I have accepted that will not change. If I don't get 7 hours of sleep I am worthless. I usually try to get in a 2nd session at night time but my nights are hectic so it doesn't always work. I leave work around 5:15. Pick up my son from day care. Sometimes have to pick up hubby if we car pool. We have at least an hour commute. So I am home between 6:15-6:30. Then we have dinner which is hopefully served between 6:45 and 7:15. At that point is is time to bathe my son (he's 2) and spend some time with him before he goes to bed. Sometimes we swim with him -so Chris and I will take turns swimming laps. Harrison's bedtime is between 8:00-8:30 and here lately that has been an hour long process. By the time he is in bed and settled for the night I am usually scrambling around trying to straighten up the house or doing laundry so I have a really hard time fitting it in. For about 2 weeks I was doing an exercise video around 9:30 but it wound me up too much and I had a hard time falling asleep. I'm gonna have to figure something out though! I may just have to suck it up and do something around 9:30. I usually hit the bed by 11pm. I can't wait until I can be a stay at home mom! The commute to work really sucks up a lot of my time!

HeatherGurl

06-22-2007, 03:51 PM

Scale said 190.8 again this morning. I am going to try really hard and be a good girl this weekend so I will have a good report Monday morning... like that I am back in the 80's!!!

I might even try to exercise this weekend a little :)

lianna

06-23-2007, 03:11 PM

Hey all! Just rediscovered this site and love this thread. I have been stuck in the 50s for months and months and months....

I have started kicking up the exercise a notch, but I am losing at a snails pace now.

thanks all!

i have to say - i've been really proud of myself as of late! i've not been perfect, but making REALLY good choices and although not slicing carbs as i planned to - really cutting back from the bad ones.... and drinking water so often that the bathroom is nearly attached to my dupa! haha :)

i need to get that dupa moving and exercise more --- but other than that.. i've been feeling really good lately! my labor day goal: 160's!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone....I've been sitting at 192 for about 3 weeks now and I'm over it. I'm going to enter the next decade of weights (189 or less) by the end of next week. (Friday, July 27) I am committed!

Jess, I'm so proud of you!

I'm still stubbornly clinging to the 170s however my body is changing, toning, etc. I'm not upset anymore. Just focusing on being healthy.

Ok, I have mentioned before that I regained a few pounds. Didn't realize I was back up to 195 - not a decade I wanted to revisit. I have gone back to my pre-goal reaching regiment and am down to 192 since Monday Hope to be in the 80's by next week, then back into the 70's! 15 pounds is not bad for 6 months, haave never been able to not immediately regain all my weight so I am still very happy.

congrats Neal - first on "noticing" your weight went up, and second being able to do something about it! how awesome is that?! it's comforting to know that after I am banded next week that I, too, will have that option! (this is what I meant in another post - my poor sis gained 20 lbs after losing 100 a year ago, and is having a devil of a time losing it agian - thank goodness I'll be banded)
