Oh yes, excuses, excuses, that's me. LOL! The 3 kids are the # one reason I don't work out but they should be the # one reason I do! Anyway, I've been doing low carb all week & it has been SOOOOOOOOO HARD for me!!!!! BUT I'm doing it & it's working scale wise! :smile2: I'm having a well deserved {CARB FREE} Cocktail as I speak. this week I reely noticed how i go to food when stressed (CARBS) chips, popcorn ect..... I have felt so frustrated all week. I hope it gets better soon.

Hi everyone. I'm thinking i should go to the meeting. It would be nice to be around people who are going through all the same junk as I am right now. feeling pretty low about myself at this point. I'm still doing "bad" things (eating wise). Still not exercising either. Keep telling myself tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! This time of year is always hard for me. Ya know the darker days & being stuck inside is hard for everyone.

LOL!! Thanks for the laugh Paige. I could just picture you running around your house w/ your scale ha ha ha!!!! That's what I did a few weeks ago when my scale said I was way down. Got on...NO WAY!......got off...then on again.....moved it....got back on.....OK I"LL TAKE IT! :-) Then I'm waay up a week later. I'm trying to blame it on I should be getting my period soon. To tell you the truth I don't know when that's coming because it chenged in the last few months so much. It should be soon. So, I"ve been having a pitty party for myself & EATING MORE :nono:. Last 3 nights I have felt do stuffed after dinner. The first nigt I did eat too much but last night & the night before I really don't feel I ate too much. I hate that OVERLY FULL feeling. My port popd way out & I feel so uncomfortable. This is my first time feeling TOO full in over a year. Well, today is a new day! RIGHT?? :smile2:

YAAAAAy!!!! CONGRATS!!! I think i went up before thanksgiving & I was good that day :-(

ok. I've been told if you work out you need to eat more. It's all so confusing. Now I don't know how I'm gonna burn 2500 cals a day lol! can i eat less cals a day then I will have to burn less cals a day? TY!:smile:

I'm a little cofused. How many cals should i eat a day & how many should I burn? I'm 5'1 175 lbs female (if that helps). thanks!!! :smile:

Hi Maggie, I'm a little confused. Did you say you try to eat 1500 cals a day & burn 2500 cals a day?? You can still lose weight if your burning more then you are eating? Thanks ahead! :smile:

UUUUGGGGGGG!!! So frustrated~~!! I got way down for me like 2 wks ago then all of a sudden I'm up lik 7 pounds!!! WHY!!?!!?!!?!!!

OOOH! I feel like i ate a bit too much tonight. I'm frustrated w/ myself lately & the scale. I weighed a week ago & I was 173. somethng. Then a week late i'm 180 ish?!?!!?? i did not change anything!! Can a women fluctuate THAT MUCH!!!!!>!>!>!

Oh Paige, I so wish I had the drive to exercise like you do! I did OK yesterday & OK today. I picked a bit today though :-(. I wanna start doing some of those on demand workouts on the TV. I HAVE to!!!! I really wanna tone more, mostly my gut & butt. I just saw the worst pic of myself that showed my NASTY gut! I didn't think it still looked like that!!! :thumbup: I hear ya about the 4-6 lbs up & down any gived day. THAT"S SOO ME!!! I should try to go to the meeting cause I don't need i fill for awhile.

So, how'd everyone do yesterday????? I did pretty good. I had taste of this & that. I had maybe 2 bites of pie. Did not get over stuffed. I did have a few very small glasses of wine.

That's great Holly! Keep us posted!!! :thumbup:

Glad your better Paige. I'm sure having just broth was NO fun. I know what you mean about only staying focused for so long :thumbup:. Well, I was sooo surprised when I weighed the other morning & I was down a few LBS! !~~~!!!! WOOOOOT!!!!!! WOOOT!!!!! Did NOT expect that. Gave be some needed motivation. :-)

Oh yeah, thought I'd share some new pics. I chopped off 12 inches of hair! Love my new short hair!

thanks Jay. I did run my mouth at him. After the shock passed I was pissed. He was not seen after that little show. THE JERK!!!

Hello everyone! I zipped through all the last few posts. Glad to hear all the newbie's are doing well w/ there fill's & bands. Paige~ I hope you do better after your unfill. How was your trip? I soooo need a vaca~~!! Well, I went out the other night & it was fun. I thought I looked good untill some A** touched my gut & said "What are you gonna name this one"? :biggrin: Prick!! He knew I wasn't pregnant!! I mean, I was sucking back the drinks! I swear people get more ignorant on a daily basis & the more ignorant they are the more they're drawn to me!!! Who says that!??!?!?! So, that being said.......what are some good gut exercises???? LOL! :tt2:

Paige- I do believe different things make me tighter too (stress & pms). I'm still confused to how many calories I should eat. Does anyone here count cals? I'm looking over the packets we got waaaaay back in the beggining w/ food listings, cals, ect. I'm making a food list to bring to the grocery store. Who new weightloss could be so complicated lol!

So, I'm not exercising AT ALL. I don't know what to do? I do have excuses, I have nobody to watch the kids to go to the gym, I can't do a video w/ the girls around because I wouldn't even get through it. I'm going to get a tredmill w/ tax returns this year. I want something I can do at home. The next thing is I REALLY need to get in to the nutritionist! I am confused on calories ect.. I was talking to Doc V about it & she had NO CLUE.

Mel~happy you have your restriction again, :-) Paige- I never think to go to faulkner. I have to think of it next time. fatmommyslim- WTG, on your weightloss! LOL! I'm glad Mel tracked you down lol!

BostonLady- Good for you on the gym! I have not exercised in awhile. Has not bee neady for me to fit in. NO EXCUSE! :-( Fills are usually fine for me as long as my doc does it/. good luck!

Hi everyone, K8~I hope your feeling better my now. Mel~ Fritos seem like a harder chip to me too. Even though I shouldn't really know that. As for me~ it's weird,, I seem tighter all of a sudden in the past week. I think it takes Awhile sometimes & then tightens up more. Not doing great w/ my choices , could be doing better. I've had a lot of issues w/ fatigue for awhile. I've had these issues for years but it seems to be really bad lately. I probably need MORE protein & exercise!

Well, I feel pretty much the same as I did before my fill. I still have good restriction but I wish I were a bit tighter. I have only been getting small fills in fear of being TOO tight. I can still get down a lot of foods that I should NOT be eating & don't have the will power to stay away from.

AWESOME 17.5 down!!! Good for you! You must be thrilled to be on the mushies. :sad:

Good for you !!! I feel a bit better today thanks!
