Weight-Loss
Let me tell ya ladies its tough when you get down... I'm so close to my goal I can taste it!! But I'm seeing no results on the scale but my body is really starting to look good... so you have to kinda change your whole way of thinking about it... which can be wicked difficult!
 
I dont let it weigh to heavily on my mind... heck at 1 lb a week thats 52 lb a year... thats not too shabby... plus it's not like theres no room for amping up my game... i got my treadmill so im walking more now and as soon as i get some better running shoes i'm going to start running, something i havent really done since 9th grade...
I know numbers on a scale shouldnt be a main focus but on the other hand if i try looking at my body instead of the scale i notice myself getting a little obsessed and overanalyzing myself mostly because i'm trying to think.... did that look like that before? where as a number is a little more definative... either way i'm just glad i've come this far and not given up or have any plan of giving up, EVER! :party:
I'm just hoping once i start getting down there it doesnt get too hard and frustrating... that will be the true test... luckily i know i'll have all of you to help pick me up :D
 
I read the past page and this one, good job ladies! :party:

Sorry you're stressed, Cerella :( :grouphug:

Patience is the hardest thing, ain't it, girls? Last night I was looking at my body and was both really happy and also like "WHEN the fuck am I going to reach my goal!?!?!"

Shit, though, it's gotta be soon! My diet has taken a life onto its own, and is on a roll. Yesterday I ate really lightly without issue, and came out just under 1600 calories. The past two days I just have eaten a Perfect Foods Bar instead of a meal for dinner. I'd rather make myself a wholesome salad but yeah, I get out of Yoga at 9pm, it takes a good 45 minutes to drive home, and I have things to attend to once I get there.
OH yes! My weight is back to 139.5 lbs. I'm not going to go apeshit about that, yet, because I KNOW that 6 pounds is a lot to lose in 3 weeks and I'm prepared for gains and plateaus in the next couple weeks. Still, I have to keep on truckin' with the diet!

I went to belly dancing class and then to Yoga 1-2 yesterday.
 
Ya patience is key. I feel like I dropped 10 pounds then end of last year with NO fuss and now I can hardly get a pound down... and its frustrating. But I plan on taking my measurements and start tracking that way instead of that stupid scale.... although I promise you that one day it WILL read in the 120s... but right now I would be happy with 135 which is were I had hoped to be by the end of this challenge... but I'm not seeing that to be a likely happening at least not by the end of this.

I have my whole life to battle it... its all I know so why end the fight ya know?
 
:iagree: I want 135 so bad I can TASTE it :drool5: Then I'm going to work on getting that weight my "settling point." I think I might have to quit drinking to accomplish this :cry:
 
ok so i totally just shoveled mine and my neighbours driveway for the SECOND time... i said i wouldnt do it again but i figured what hey...maybe i'll be down a whole pound tomorrow at this rate lol... i am freakin wiped... but i did just treat myself to a small cup of hot chocolate for 100 calories and i am chilling out for the rest of the night... until i have to start dinner in an hour then clean up after it... then i'm done... maybe

That's weird??!! It looks like 17 people have already been in the file today and posted points. So I am not sure why you can't get in.

Here is the link again, just incase.

I was able to get in again last night but got busy and now I can't get in again (it brings me to the log in screen). I think Team 2 lost though and I believe it was Quarters who was eliminated, but I wanted to double check. Will do so when I can get in to the spreadsheet again.
 
Apologies for being MIA in my FAVORITE THREAD!

Lots of comments..

Well going back to what Cassie was saying about her H when he was watching their first baby while she worked. Does anyone on here remember me complaining about my H that way about 2 years ago when I joined? I mean Cassie, my H was IDENTICAL in behavior! Nowadays he works part time and watches the baby part-time and he vacuums and cleans the bathroom. He helps a lot more around the house so they do grow eventually. Of course I still do way more child care when I get home but that's my only time with my baby anyway so no biggie. Soon he'll be going back full-time, but that will make my life harder so I'm not in that much of a rush..

Well my weight on that spreadsheet is just so embarrassing. As if I'm making up my points or something! Fucking GAINING man! I know the gain is not fat though because simply every single time I go back to the weights after a break I put on exactly 2 pounds. My muscles start bulging right away so its probably actual muscle and not water or anything. But still, I should've taken off SOME FAT by now. Today I'm "only" up 1/2 lb from my starting weight. NICE (NOT). I had hoped to be 143 by the end of the challenge but now I'm hoping to just get to 145 haha. My body does look better like MissDFitt says, but still, there's a BUNCH of flab on there too so very annoying. I did lose 30 lbs 2 years ago so I definitely know what I'm doing, but my body just will NOT cooperate!

To those who are losing tons of pounds, I am so happy for you! CONGRATULATIONS!

lol EXACTLY My I.D says i'm 21 but i've been 40 for at least 5 years and will contininue to be 40 for at least the next 15 years...

I may be the oldest lady in the club but i'm gunna rock it!:sifone:

That will be no problem Cass! I had my baby at 37 so I was still going to bars and small clubs and stuff at 35. I had a blast partying it up until I got pregnant, all those years of traveling dating and stuff. Just keep yourself looking young and you will then feel young (by the young guys coming on to you haha).
 
Yeah, its ME AGAIN! Third post lol but I wanted to give my update too. I did my usual Tuesday re-feed of 2300 calories, but way too many carbs I think cuz I felt like shit on Wed. On Wed (yesterday) I solderied on, starving the whole day from like a carb hangover or something, but ate healthy and 1500 calories and will keep that up for a few days now hopefully. I must to stay within my calories after all! grrr

I plan to hit the gym today from work, but I must say I'm tired seeing as I got up at 5am. Hopefully I can bust out of work early..

ROCK ON TEAM!

lol he still doesnt do anything aside from making more of a mess to clean up (he thinks garbage and clothes magically pic themselves up lol) I dont really mind since he's working and i'm at home all day so i simply take it on as my own job and really dont care to have his help for the most part... all i ask is that he dont contribute to me having to work harder but were still working on that one... my H is a tinker and has junk everywhere all the time and when i decide it all needs to get off my table and in the basement (which is OVERFLOWING) god forbid now he can't find anything... and it my fault... because i should have left it there lol thats a never ending argument lol
the only other thing i ask is that he not undermine the amount of work i do in a day. dont tell me what i do isn't work bc i work more hours and i DONT get breaks (even when i should :p)

Yeah no kidding... I'm over 40 and having more fun now than I was in a lot of my 20's...

More fun now? I don't know about that. As much fun, certainly, but I had some killer times in my 20's. Now I'm more into intense fun that you make happen, rather then just random good times that you just happen across. :party:

Hell Trops, I feel that way now. My early 20's were fun but I have way more fun now. I'm more settled, I have my daughter and stepson, and my H. We all do things together now and it's much more rewarding. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a bit of a loner and enjoy my time by myself, but this life now is way the hell better than partying until the sun came up and hanging out on my front porch drinking Jose. Now I'd rather grill in the back yard with all our friends and their kids with a cold Fat Tire in my hand. Good times!!!

Don't worry about the gain Claud, how you look and feel is the most important thing. And honey, YOU FINE!!

I think most men just don't think of what they're doing when they leave shit lying around the house. They don't mind messy chaos! My H is bad about leaving stuff out, but is always more than willing to help clean things up. Well, most of the time. I think that most women have more to do, but I also know that a lot of them take on more voluntarily. I do because, like a lot of women, I have the mentality that if I want it done right, I have to do it myself! My h doesn't think having the house in order all the time is as important as I do so naturally we approach it differently. Mars and Venus!!!
 
it's true :iagree:
Mostly i like to it myself because I want things just the way i like them (especially because i spend ALL of my time here) and also he doesnt clean to my "standards". he thinks that if he neatly lines everything up that makes it clean or tidy... i dont really blame him for not knowing how to clean he had a stay at home mom that believed kids shouldnt have to clean because that was her job, whereas i had both parents working long hours and often the cleaning was up to us especially during the summer. every day my parents made my brother and i a lit of chores to do while they were at work before we got to go out and play. I'll probably do the same for mine but if i'm not working i'm not going to be sitting around while my kids do all the cleaning so they'll get it a little easier
 
Not to go off topic, but H surprised the HELL outa me when he finally started helping out cleaning. He is extremely thorough and gets every nook and cranny. He even complains about me leaving things around as he is very organized. Cooking and doing dishes are another story. How nice it would be to have a personal chef around the house with my delicious cooking skills. I absolutely amazed myself yesterday with the George Foreman grill, my chicken was out of this world and all I did was coat the chicken breast in olive oil mixed with salt, parsley flakes and dried cilantro, throw it on the grill for 4 minutes and YUMMY. I LOVE that grill! You eat within seconds, I recommend it to everyone (especially you single people that dont want to prepare a big meal).
 
Whoa, whoa whoa! Back the truck up, here! I gotta step in for my brother hubbies here. Each person in a relationship will see everything that he or she does, but only a percentage of what the partner is doing. Give these guys a break. :biggrinjester:
 
Claudia, I'm really sorry that your hard work isn't being properly reflected in your weigh-ins. That is SO bizarre and I remember you have been struggling around the mid 140s for a WHILE now :banghead: I hope this mysteriousness goes away, how fucked up is it for you to be an angel and eat 1700 measly calories a day and not SEE the results? Grrrrrrrr!

I have to say I never want to live with a man again. Seriously! :smash: No offense, but I just plain don't like it. Except for Barre, he's The Shit :cool: (and he's only around 3 nights of the week ;))

Update: My boyfriend cooked me Portabella mushrooms and Ling Cod and made a salad yesterday, gave me great head and let me sleep over last night :hurray: Word, up. Off da heezey fah sheezey. He has no scale but my calories yesterday were 2100--on point of the high end! :hurray: However, he uses too much olive oil when he cooks. Damn Italians.
