I'm staying on plan today just because!!!

Way to go Lyn!! What an awesome day!! yOu should be very proud of yourself. WHY did I decide to go run at 11:30 this morning. It was HOT. I was sweating like crazy. I only did 2.5 miles instead of the 4.5 I planned to do. I will either go earlier or later tommorow. It is supopsed to be fall allready!! Please send the memo to east texas!!!

I'm staying on plan today because I finally got to move my ticker down for the first time in a long time!!

Way to go aclubb. It is crazy how this becomes addictive. I love my new life!!

I am doing low carb again and taking in good carbs prior to exercise. I think the more seasoned ladies would also agree that exercise is so important. I have really started to enjoy exercising again. As a kid I wanted to be a personal trainer, but gained a lot of weight and kinda "lost" that dream underneath the pounds. Who knows?? More than a number on the scales, work to a place where you are happy with your body and looks, and you feel healthy. Easier said than done. I am really working to lose another 10 pounds prior to surgery, but I am also really working on mentally not being such a scale nut!! Having said all of that, my scales are down 1 pound this morning. I actually got to update my ticker. WOOHOO!!! Headed to the track... Make it a great day!!

Good to hear from you Sugar. hOpe your legs heal really quick. Keep up posted. You are going to rock your interview Kathy. Not a morning person either. I used to stay up VERY late, bu now I go to bed earlier, but I am still not good until about 10a. After 10 I function pretty well. I HATE SPONGEBOB!! My son watches it occasionally. he would watch it all the time if I let him. I tell him that it will make his brain dumb. There is nothing "bad" about it. It is just so brain numbing stupid!! Ok, how do I really feel?? LOL I LOST A NEW POUND!!!!!!Man, it's been a long time since I was able to update my ticker. I haven't lost a pound since the end of our no scales challenge. Low carb it is until surgery. I am headed for the track to run. Make it a great day!!

I bought the tide me overs at Walmart. I got the strawberry banana flavor. They are ok, and I should be drinking them to get my fiber in, but I just prefer water.

Finally, another pound. ______Start Weight__CurrentWeight______Goal______Lbs lost *****:confused:***********:wink_smile:*************:wink2:**********:smile:********** 1day at a time.....263............259.5..........243...........3.5 2BHealthE!.........194............179............194............0 ahsem2bme..........244............244............225............0 aJoneen............223............221............213............2 Aphrodite1984......208............208............190............0 Ariel..............199............196.4..........180..........2.6 ArmyWife4life......209.5..........209.5..........190............0 Barb12590..........228............223............213............5 Bea1128............210.5..........207............188..........3.5 blueriley..........206............206............190............0 Brandymom1234......227............151.9..........135..........4.1 Caramia71..........208............202............195............6 cQQlgirl...........194............193............180............1 Crzytchr...........281............275............265............6 DebinFl............181............181............168............0 georgiagirl........245............230............220...........15 HarleyGirl.........188............187............175............1 HeatherA...........210.5..........206............200..........4.5 HeatherO...........155............150............140............5 Ivyrose325.........212............212............199............0 Jazzyywan..........255............255............190............0 Jodi_620...........196............188............177............8 KikiVal315.........237.5..........232............220............5.5 Lana24.............208............195............185............0 laurigee...........180............180............160............0 Leslie2Lose........220............214............205............6 lindar172 .........274.2..........270.6............256..........3.6 LisaB..............205.5..........199............180..........6.5 livn4thm...........235............233............210............2 Long2bthin.........248............242............230............6 Luu2008............203............199.5..........183..........3.5 Mamanmidwife.......299............292............280............7 mamato3............186............186............170............0 MarinaBleu.........226.5..........226.5..........216............0 memom..............210............210............170............0 Minxz..............299............288............280...........11 mominlv13..........299.8..........291.2..........280..........8.6 nip50..............175............171............160............4 NurseNiki..........258............255............239............3 odamay.............242............242............225............0 paige65............252............247............232............5 Peaches11..........205............205............194............0 pj_txlady..........220............220............200............0 Redtulips3.........180............180............170............0 Renee74............214............213............199............4 Renewedhope........171............169............150............2 reif78.............294............195............185............0 shaversd...........230.5..........225............210..........5.5 SpecialK...........294............290............280............4 Sunshine2..........177............171............167............6 Tess...............304............300.5..........280..........3.5 thatDEgirl.........211............207.5............195........3.5 Turler.............225............219............210............6 wendyw.............192............188............172............4 wowox7.............195............189............170............6 WyominGirl.........327............321............312............6

Georgia, so glad to see you posting those NSV!!! You are doing awesome. I had to celebrate the day I weighed less than DH. That hadn't happened since high school!!

we have this tiny little camper that we bought several years back. It is very simple and pretty old, but it works. We have gas for cooking, AC, heat and a potty. Definately not roughing it. When we had all of the kids we were going to sell it because it was way too small, but never got around to it. i'm so glad. We have some hunting land about 30 minutes from here. We usually Take it out to the land durin hunting season and leave it there and spend most weekends at the land riding 4 wheelers and jsut hanging out. It's really good to get away from our hectic everyday lives.

I am sooooo encouraged to hear how well you are doing. My surgery is 1 month away and I plan on following your wonderful example. Hopefully you will be able to sit more comfortably soon.

Kathy, Sound like a REALLY crazy combination. I'm glad that yall had a really good time, and I'll bet you are glad to have your home back to you and your family. Sounds like a great running plan for his weekend. I can't wait to hear how the race goes on Sunday!! I am still on my runner's high. I hope it never ends. We are going to the track this evening. I am fixing to make a low carb shopping list and go buy groceries. I think we are going to take our camper to our land this weekend and camp out. We really enjoy doing that!! Everyone have a great week!!

Leslie, Sorry you have been feeling bad. I'm glad you've hopefully got it figured out with your thyroid medicine. Hope your energy level increases real soon!!

It's a plan!!

:rolleyes2:HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MAMATO!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!:girl_hug: :girl_hug::party::sad::party: HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Tap, my run was GREAT!!! I ran the entire time and my time was 29:20. I couldn't believe it. My goal was under 30 minutes. DH figured it for me and I averaged 9:24 per mile. DH and DS also ran, and DH pushed the baby in the stroller. They finished in 37 minutes. DS placed 2nd in his age division. It was REALLY a great day. OK, I'm staying on plan today because I have started low carbing again. I had gained a few pounds and they are starting to come off again. Today I am only 1 pound from my ticker weight. I plan to lose some new weight this week and that will only happen if I stay on plan!!

Your results sound amazing. I just can't imagine a flat tummy! Sounds like you are doing great. I haven't had surgery yet, so I can't help with the feeling of almost passing out. Hope that gets better really soon.

I am back doing low carb! I started yesterday, and man those cravings are aweful. I know I lose best on low carb and am having PS on Oct 24, so I will be low carbing it with you guys until then. How is everyone doing???

Thanks guys!! It really was a great day, and seems to be just the motivation I needed to push on through. Let's make it a great week!!

Great job Lyn. As always, great to hear from you Mamato. Way to go on the jillian DVD!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

What to eat? What to eat? I never seem to get this answered. I eat healthy carbs and protein prior to running. Ex: High protein bar or oats, 2% milk, etc. After my run I always have either a low carb shake or 8 oz of milk. Other than that I eat low carb.

Congrats!! I'm glad you are doing so well. Take care of yourself!!

Lyn, Best of luck on your run and bike ride. 800 cal is not much at all to sustain that much exercise. Think about taking in some extra protein and GOOD carbs. It took me a long time to believe it, and everyone told me and told me, but it takes more like 1200-1400 cal a day to sustain that type of exercise. Make it a great day everyone!!

I'm staying on plan today because I am starting a new eating plan and I want it to work.

Kathy, thanks so much for the Rocky song. It will definately be added to my playlist!! YOu guys are the best!!! We are a pretty awesome group!! I couldn't wait until I got home today to see Georgia's post. I just knew she made it, and to post my race results.
