Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 , CONGRATULATIONS!! Yes, I'm screaming - GOOD FOR YOU! That is a momentous milestone and not a small accomplishment. My WW leader used to give us equivalents for various amts - 1 lb=package of butter, etc. You just lost a bag of dog food. Imagine what your life would be like if you had a 20-lb sack of dog food on your back all the time. You've erased that now.... forever! So happy for you!! Eileen in OR -----Original Message----- Wooohoooo welcome to more newcomers (I'm kinda new to this site, too)... Amy, I know what you mean about that first 20 lb mark. I just passed mine...wooohoooo 21 lbs gone ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 yippee - 2 pounds gone! 2.25 inches gone - you're doing great. Preplanning is key - I just sent an email to my co-worker telling her I was bringing in my lunch tommorrow. I like to warn her LOL She's great though - no guilt trip Most days I can plan a reasonable lunch but there's way too many days before the next payday LOL. no hating yourself - that's so interfers with what you're trying to accomplish.

I told them I need at least 24 hours notice, so I can plan my day (love you, whoever said use a food plan).... if I know there is a holiday, special occasion, or otherwise, I just plan.

I am tired of hating myself for getting fat, so I am going to try to not hate the process of getting healthier and skinnier....Oooooooh speaking of which, I almost didn't want to measure today because I am starting to feel the bloat oof tom come on... ya know? Well, I decided to weigh / measure anyway and am down 2 lbs this week and 2.25 inches (THANK GOD I finally got past the 20 lb mark) and am 48.75 > total inches gone... yehaw, praise God!!

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 me either but im trying to talk it all out with him right now it is getting him to listen to me that seems to be the problem. he says that it is b/c he is exhausted. i dont know. he always expected me to listen whenever i had come home from work before and given it was hard sometimes to focus but if i put forth a bit of effort i could do it so i know that he could too. i think mainly he just doesnt want to listen to me now b/c im telling him exactly what i think, whatever pops into my head within limits that is i tell him about or something he done that is bothering me and well, he's not use to that but im just fed up with everything right now and things are going to have to change. i cant live a life in seclusion i have to be able to just live not vegetate infront of a tv all day long. im getting up and being active and he dont like it b/c he feels like a couch potato right now. (i found that out today-lol) anyways, im not going to let him get me down im just going to hold my head up high and be determined to get all of this weight off. tammyABrite@... wrote: Tammy, sorry your dh has to be a pill... wish there was something we could do or say to make it easier...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 fitday.com has a whole list of activities that I never thought of... a calorie burned is a calorie burned! If you enter in how long you did a certain activity, it will tell you about how many calories you burned. i know it's just an estimate, but I wonder how accurate it is?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 it made mine too! he went and is working on the weekends with a friend getting paid under the table, and the money he made there he went and spent on all health food for me. stuff for salads, vinaigrettes that were low cal and all kinds of stuff. i was really happy about it! i love everything he bought too. it all tastes great and im hoping we can continue to get it all tammyABrite@... wrote: Sapphyre, great job losing 5 lbs!!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 , Thanks for the step conversions! I'm going use them like they are the best thing in the world. I'm averaging about 10,000 steps a day which I think is good. I do kinda cheat though. When I'm watching television I walk in place sometimes. www.geocities.com/remaking_me ABrite@... wrote: , that is great that they gave you a pedometer. I have been using one since June '05 and have logged more than 1.5 MILLION steps since then.... it is so exciting. At my work, I belong to a health@work program and there is a website we can log our steps on and it shows a ticker going up the mountain. I am on my 7th mountain. When we walk enough steps to get to the top of a mountain, we get a certificate and a button. Kinda hokey, but I love it because it shows progress..... Amy, I used to love TaeBo, but it aggravates my back too much now. I have a couple of other videos, including 's Boot Camp, which I love.... 10 minutes of a video is 10 minutes, don't knock it for trying... just keep it up and building up every few days or so and soon you will be able to do the full workouts.... when I got my first video, I could only do maybe 1/2 the amount of the reps as the "actors".... Tammy, great job with your first pound down! Weigh to go girl!! Keep going!! ...some of the step conversions for different activities: burns an extra 100 calories: 60 minutes of mall shopping 45 minutes of weight training 35 minutes of housecleaning 30 minutes of gardening/weeding 20 minutes of moderate/easy walking For Gardening/Housekeeping/shopping - 15 minutes = 1000 steps or .50 miles (they say 2000 steps = 1 mile) Autos.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 As far as the calories go... I think I was in starvation mode and then I started eating and I couldn't stop!!! :-) I think I need to reduce them for now. It just seemed like I was eating all the time. And not the best things, too much fast food ugh! Grab what's quick. We have been "full speed ahead" at work with this Fundraiser Gala (banquet) It is over and we can get back to NORMAL (whatever that is!) Anyway...we have been running and I haven't been planning my meals very well. I know you are doing the "Thin Within" thing... kinda like WD. Waiting till hungry and then stopping when full. I finally figured out what FULL was for me and now I think I can do that. Keep me in your prayers. It all begins with Y'shua/Jesus so I will start there and let Him transform this darkness into His Light. Blessings and thanks for the encouragement, TeraseeABrite@... wrote: Sara, great job losing 5.5 lbs!! Terasee, you mentioned gaining some pounds back over the past few months vs losing.... I work at a sit down job too and it is really important to walk during the day on your breaks, so great job realizing that. I know you are trying to lose weight, but is it possible you are eating tooo few calories and your body is just functioning better on those vs losing now (aka starvation hormones have set in?) and you should take a break and increase your calories for a couple of weeks ? I am not an expert on that concept and almost didn't believe it existed, but now I am wondering LOL.... One Day Ata Time, Terasee Relax. virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!

Good luck this week. emily From: ABrite@... <ABrite@...>Subject: (no subject)ABrite@...Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2008, 8:52 PM How twisted is this: I went for an <almost> 40 minute walk tonight because I wanted a cookie. LOL!! Walked to the grocery store and back. Now I don't want the cookie. Oh well. It's wrapped now for when I do want it. Goodness I am tired today (worked at 5 a.m.) - don't know if I will last for TBL tonight. We'll see. I like to try to catch the season opener to see if I am going to be interested for the series. Oh yeah: I weighed myself Monday. Up 1.2 since my last end-of-Aug. No surprise to me, I pretty much expected it. Anyway.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Jenn, I'm also a peds RN & our hospital has made the " flu vaccine program " mandatory. If you refuse, you need to watch a video on how you are potentially doing harm to innocent children. I was also confronted by another RN who was shocked that I wasn't getting the flu vaccine. She thought I was irresponsible & it was my " ethical " duty as a peds nurse to protect the children I care for by getting the flu vaccine. Well, about 2 weeks after she got the shot, she called out sick because she was in the hospital with the FLU! Guess the vaccine wasn't that helpful after all.
