  1. Well this thread did not go the way I thought it would. I'm glad though. I do feel that this is part of what keeps me accountable. I don't think I'd be able to stand not knowing what's "going on under the hood." I also think its important for foodies (us) to weigh daily, even when we're at goal. Just like tracking, other people mIght maintain fine without it, but I don't think I can. Maybe daily weighing is to a foodie, as AA meetings is to an alcoholic.
  2. I actually think I have a problem. I have my routine. 7 am I pee, strip and weigh. If the number is good, I think about that all day and smile to myself. If there's no loss, especially for days in a row, I start wondering if I'm not Exercising enough, if I'm exercising too much, if I'm eating too many carbs, if I'm eating to many calories or not enough. It's crazy making. Thing is though, I'm not sure I want to stop. I live for those loss days, they're a high for me. But in all actuality, I'd really like to be free from this. I don't know if I can do it though. It's like when we had mini snickers in the house and I wanted them really bad. I didn't want DH to hide them but he did and I lived. I was also really happy he did that and still am. I'd probably be happy if he hid the scales. But then I wonder how ill know if something is amiss? What if I tell him I want to weigh once a week or Maybe even once a month? What if I don't lose for that entire month and I don't know because I'm not weighing? See how my mind works? Did anyone overcome this?
  3. "Titanium" because that's the song the drs played while they put me to sleep. Fitting, I think.
  4. Ill have to try this an see if the family likes it. I've seen this one going around. Fat dont bother me.
  5. It's not like you're locked in to doing it or 30 days. The only way I would is if I was only 10 lbs over weight and would be "shredded" at the end. I do this workout but its just part of my routine when I feel like doing it. It's free on YouTube by the way.
  6. Nevermind
  7. Probably Sunday. (Poke, poke)
  8. I just try to get it in three times a week. Sometimes I only manage two and get to day 3 in the next week. It's not a race.
  9. Well just call me smilie. That was actually my nickname in school. I still find it difficult to breathe sometimes. Working on it.
  10. I am 174 and I am only on week 3 day 3 of c25k and my little runs are only a 15 min/mile pace. I got some work to do. Lol
  11. I want hotties that wanna train me!!! Oh yeah, happily married. Haha Go you!!
  12. Oh it would have been fun to join in! Alas' date=' I'm in the middle of nowhere. Fiddle yay for new shoes! I trie the pegasus' on and they're Kooshy an light like my sauconys. I like them too. Ok just did w3d3 and at the cemetery there are hills and I'm going up them to burn more calories. Love loooove running in the cemetery. And taking the kids makes it more fun. it also makes me go cuz I already told them we would AND bringing them makes me push harder cuz I don't wanna punk out in front of them. Win/win coz they love going. . Also, there are no people there to see me run. That might e a perk for some of you. there are a lot of people at the park. I AM really slow tho. Apparently I went even slower today than Tuesday and here I thought I was going faster. Lol Actually now that I think about it, taking the little kids probably makes me go slower though. Oh well, I won't take them very time.
  13. That's fantastic! So happy for you!!
  14. That has to be so exciting! That 5 minute runs right?
  15. Minnie- comparison is the killer of joy. Something like that. I do it too. I'm 3 mos and 3 weeks and I'm at 49 lbs lost, so I think our loss is pretty normal.
  16. john- I figured it was something like that.. sorry about your foot..
  17. What? Maybe I can change that to "I've thought about it too, but it doesn't last long enough to amount to much anyway. "
  18. One of my weaknesses. But just one!? Great job! In the past I would have eaten the package. With milk. After a bunch of pizza.
