Ok i get to start the new thread today.

For Oct. i am comitted to exercise everday. Also for Oct i made my goal to eat NO junk food no matter how little. I can eat 1 slice of pizza for a meal but i shouldnt being eating pizza anyway.

Yesterday (SAT) I didn't work out...shame on me. I feel awful about it, but things just didn't work out. So today I did my dumbell workout at home. I worked legs and calves. My partner doesn't do calves because he doesn't need it, but I DO! So this was a good thing. I did lunges, squats and calf raises for an hour.

I've decided that I REALLY want an adjustable bench and a Roman Chair at home. Time to go surf for them and see what kind of deals I can find.

No, you should start losing better again. Like I said, I went through the very same thing and I am back to losing well now, "knock on wood". It started back up just as abruptly as it stopped, so have faith. It is VERY frustrating, I know. I had set a goal of being under 200 by August 31st, which should have been doable, but I didn't make it until last week or so. (I'm so tired right now that I can't recall!) It sounds like you are doing all the right things, and you should only be able to add just so much muscle, and the fat burning will continue. That is when the scale will start moving again. You will be skinny-gorgeous for your wedding! Don't worry! Just don't get so addicted to weight-lifting like me...I probably won't be physically able to make my goal of 145 if I keep adding muscle...I have the larger frame to be able to add it. If you do, too, then know your limits, but don't stop altogether...it's good for you for a million reasons.

As for my current teeth-grinder, I had set another mini-goal of being at 175 by my big Vegas vacation. That is in ten days, and obviously by my ticker, you can see there is no hope again. Oh well, I'm just happy that I am losing again. And you will be, too!

I feel better. I saw the trainer yesterday and she told me the same thing. And that if I keep working with her, yes I am building muscle, but I can only build so much, and if I keep doing the same thing, I will burn all the fat off anyways. She was kinda mad because I was so fixated on the scale. I'm throwing it out right now, and I'm only weighing in during doctors visits from now on.

Oh, and yesterday 1hr with trainer, workout 3 of week 2 for c25k. Looks like whos is in the advanced group. I'm not sure I'll be moving on to week 3 yet!

Good for you, JM! I'm so glad you feel better and that you are sticking with it!

Hey JM! Glad your doing better!!!

I did Week 3 workout 2 today and then played in the pool with my daughters for a while.

There are some WEIRD ppl at the y sometimes.

This one lady got in the hot tub with reg shorts and a tee shirt, she safety pinned the t shirt to her shorts and she used swimming googles to sit in the hot tub!

Oh I needed that belly laugh! The mental picture you give is so funny! All she lacked was flippers! LOL

Stef---even more funny is if you can imagine, she sat in the corner with her back on one wall and hooked both legs over the side wall..very weird.

Today-- weight trained 30 mins...C25K Week 3 wo 3....Swam about 20 mins.

Oh here is my work kitchen this morning...

Gosh its getting tricky to get to the Y.

This morning i nearly hit 3 deer and then there was a possom in the road playing possom.

Its like an asualt course.

Thanks for the lovely mental picture. That's enough to make me stay away from brownies!

Stefanie, don't you think she needs a snorkel? In my mental picture, she definately has a snorkel, and flippers...

It was family swim time so my daughter was allowed in the hot tub (her fav thing..shes 6!) and she would not stop staring at this crazy lady...i had to tell her 'honey its not polite to stare at ppl'....i wanted to say 'honey its not polite to stare at crazy arse ppl' .... if only i had my camera phone with me..

Oh yeah, I forgot, I was so down on myself this weekend that this morning I decided to measure myself. I took the measurements that the trainer gave me on SEPTEMBER 1, and noticed that I've lost over 10 inches!?!?!?!?! Thats amazing. I still can't get over the fact that I haven't lost anything on the scale though. Oh well!

10 Inches?!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!! My gosh!!! How do your clothes even stay on!!

Way to go! thats amazing ..10 inches and the same weight!! just goes to show i guess.

Good job!!!

Okay Saturday was a crazy day. Mom came over early and we spent the whole day doing stuff. I even actually bought some new clothes and went down another size in jeans!!..I felt like jumping around the store. I'm on the lowest size now at the fat stores so I'll be in normal stores soon!!

So Saturday was out for exercising although I'm sure I did a ton of walking around.

Sunday did 15 minutes on eleptical..then feet fell asleep so then did my weight circuit training for 15 minutes..then back to eliptical for 12 minutes. Also did 110 crunches. :boink:

Tonight is step aerobics can't wait!..oops forgot my sports bra..LOL

JM - Isn't that AMAZING to realize you lost inches when the scale never budged! That's so great for you! Now you KNOW you are doing good with your trainer! And yes, the snorkel is the icing on the cake! You're so right!

WHOS - The kitchen picture...that was just WRONG! Now I want a brownie, and I'm not even ever that crazy about them! Oh, your crazy lady just gets better and better! That's funny about your daughter, but just goes to prove the nut was a nut! I wish you HAD had your camera phone! You be careful going to the Y that early! We don't want Bambi "taking you out"!

Dibaby - Congrats on losing another size! You will be in the regular section in no time! I haven't been there long, and remember the first time I got into regular size clothes...I shouted "WOO HOO" in the dressing room and embarrassed the heck out of my daughter! I have the same problem with my feet going to sleep on the elliptical, drives me crazy! I would do a lot more of it if it weren't for that!
