Good Morning
Good Morning
Good Morning
GOOD MORNING!!
Ladies . . . today is the first day or a new beginning for us!
This isn't a diet . . . we won't think of it that way!
This is the beginning of a new lifestyle for each of us . . . a lifestyle that will keep us from finding ourselves back here again!!
More activity, healthier choices, portion control . . .
and eventually . . .
CUTE JEANS!!
We have a total of 26 competitors, which puts our ultimate cash prize at
$260
That's a heck of a goal to work toward!!
I'm hoping that our additional incentive races help everyone to stay motivated . . . and I can't tell y'all how excited I am about the additional incentive prizes that I've secured for you!!
We all need to be sure to thank our sponsors, by visiting their sites and patronizing their business where we can. These are people who showing us that they beleive in us and support our efforts to be healthier!
So I will say a grand thank you to

-
Good luck, Ladies!
-
Punkin do we need to re-pm you are starting weights for today?
-
Ok Ladies Lets see everyone get to a NEW HEALTHY weight for the summer..I know I feel better since I got my weight off and now I just need to Maintain it and keep it off...Just remember we can do anything that we sset our minds to..
so just remember to eat and drink lots and lots of water...NOT EATING will only hurt you and not help you lose andy weight your body needs nutrients to function and to burn the caalories needed in weight loss...
Take care and remember to eat healthy..
-
If your weight has changed and you want to update it this morning you can. But you don't HAVE to, but you can.
-
Hey Punkin
Did we decide how the winner of the April Incentive was going to be decided? Most loss weight, most lost percentage, closest to goal, or ???.
-
The poll says most percentage lost.
-
I've got my Liter of Water with me... And I am telling my kiddos at school that if they see me with a coke or mt. dew... Remind me!
These 7th graders are good at keeping a person honest!
-
thanks TXRodeo...guess I missed that!!
-
Yup - we decided to go with the most percentage lost for the incentive challenges . . . same as our main competition.
For the record it is not too late to join the challenge!
I posted this on another thread on Friday, but to make sure everything is here I will post it again.
This is a 3 month challenge beginning on Monday 04/06/09 @ 730AM, and lasting until Tuesday, 06/30/09 at 2PM. The ante to participate in this challenge is $10 per person. Currently there are 25 challengers for a total CASH PRIZE of $250!!
The incentive challenges are monthly challenges that will begin on the first Monday of every month (April 06, May 05, and June 01), and end at weight check in on the first Monday (no later than 2PM via PM) of the following month (The June Challenge wil end on June 30 with the rest of the challenge). The ante to participate in the monthly incentive challenges is $5 per person. The total cash prize each month will vary based on participation.
I will be charting your progress using the following formula:
Percent of weight lost = (weight lost this week x 100)/start weight
So if you start the competition at 200 lbs, and on week one you lose 5 lbs your formula will look like this
% = (5 x 100)/200
you would have lost 2.5% of your body weight.
The prizes will be awarded based on Percentage of weight lost. The person who loses the greatest percentage of their own body weight will be declared the winner. Percentage points will be figured to two decimal places in order to avoid ties. It is IMPERATIVE that you provide accurate weights in order for the calculations to be valid. Please try to use the same scale each week.
-
Ok, I'm ready to keep up with this, this time. I'm supposed to cleaning house, and I'm going to go for a walk here after it warms up. Going to get a bottle of water out the frig right NOW!
-
i just hope i can keep this motivation up...i have a doctors appointment at 2:30pm today. i am so tired from keeping up with the twins to keeping up with my animals. now i am going to try to keep up with this challange. plus i need to go to the grocery store again.
-
I think if we all stick together we can do it. I know plenty of us have each other's phone numbers, so if we don't "check in" or stay accountable we have people who can call us and remind us to get back on the ball. What about goals? Maybe if we state what are goal is to loose that month or week that will help us, you know, kinda keep us on track.
-
Well I'll tell y'all what . . .
I need to lose and average of 3.3 lbs per week in order to reach my goal . . .
So I'm gonna pray for strength and will power, and I'm going to do those things that I KNOW I need to do in order to do it.
No more sodas. Period. Water is ALL I will be drinking with the exception for fat free skim milk.
I'll reduce the number of carbs I eat, and slow WAY down on the fast food/fried foods.
And I'll be getting at least 30 minutes of cardio per day . . . even if I have to walk around my living room dangit!
-
do some heavy laundry roflmao
-
at over 220 lbs, BOTH OF US, All of our laundry is heavy . . .

When I was in the Dr.'s Office this morning they have their little closed circuit, women's health TV and they said you should dance for 20 minutes a week. Because it is good for you. so there you. Close the blinds, turn on some MTV and get down. lol.
-
Have you seen me dance?
I am the one black girl I know that simply can not dance.
I mean, it is ridiculous . . . I start out on the beat and then suddenly it's lost and my arms and feet are doing completely contrary things.
But I'm gonna try it anyway, you said I can close the blinds first right?
It won't be vigorous in nature at all . . . I'm terrified of my knee. But at least I'll be moving!
And I'm gonna pull my Pilates DVDs back out and a friend of mine got me Tae Bo once . . . I'll try that.
-
I also need to loose 3 lbs a week in order to meet my goal weight. I know what I'll be doing workout wise, but like I posted on another thread, I need the motivation and support to be able to get up early in the morning before work to do my workout that way I can free up my evenings to do other things. Anybody want to call me to get my butt outta bed?
-
I have a Tae Bo video I like doing that!

What tiem do you need to be up?

LOL, see I'm not really a morning person either, not that I'm a grumpy bear or anything like that, I just can't get going in the morning. If I could wake up then, that would give me enough time to start my workout at 6, so would it be too much for you to call me? I could just hear you now....."Stacie, this is Ve, get your butt outta bed, NOW!!!".
-
send me your cell via pm and I will start with the annoying phone calls tomorrow morning!!
-
Well I was not so good at lunch but not that bad either. I has Schlotzsky's for lunch but I only ate half of it. Now I am fighting the craving a snickers or some yummy Easter candy. I am chewing gum to try to help that. BAd part is I have to go buy Easter egg hunt stuuf for work. :( Must not eat candy!! Must not eat candy!! MUST NOT EAT CANDY!!!!!
-
If you want candy, have it.
But only have half or a 1/4 of it.
If you deny yourself something today, you will likely binge on it tomorrow.

The Slimmer in the Saddle Challenge website is up!
You can visit it by going to
www.slimmerinthesaddle.homestead.com (http://www.slimmerinthesaddle.homestead.com)
There will also be a leader board tracker on the site in addition to the graph that I will post here. That will show up next week, once there actually is a leader.
-
I like the website!!
-
Glad you like it!
I will also be posting tips to the site each week to help us get motivated, jump off our eating plans, and stay motivated!!
-
Well I will be at home, so I guess I will be finding new ways to shake my bootay!! LOL I just went to catos...had to buy size 14 pants....OMG......Last year, size 8...same pants.
-
Nice I like it especially how the woman went from huge to little on riding!!! ;)
-
Today was terrible for me but hopefully tomorrow I can get it back together.
-
one day at a time.
-
I like the website! Girl you are just so dang talented, I tell ya!
-
There is a saying that I love that I am carrying over from a quit group.... "just for today, I will not....." Basically one day at a time and try not to look at the whole picture because you will get discouraged!!
-

Okay....my boys are not sick anymore so I hauled all of us to town this morning for Jazzercise! After two weeks of not working out I was sucking air. When the boys go to sleep tonight I will do my P90X video! I hope to anyways!!!!
-
Guess I will have to knock the dust off the treadmill tonight. Hope it don't catch on fire from all the dust that is in it. I am trying to get my booty motivated. I think I will start eating better tomorrow. Pizza Hut is waiting on me to come and pick up my order.
-

anyways... i really didn't do good today. this morning i had a bowl of special K cereal and some cranenergy. had to skip lunch because i didn't have time to get lunch before i went to the doctors. so after i got out the doctors office i went to walmart and had a subway flatbread sandwich with doritos and a coke. then around 10:30pm i ate some cheese. having to fast starting midnight tonight til tomorrow morning so i can go get some blood work done. then after i give up some blood i will probably get me another subway sandwich. i bought me some more special k snack bars and some meal bars and some special k protein water packets. i am will be also starting blood pressure medicine tomorrow too!
-

I started using mycaloriecounter.com and I had NO idea I consume THAT much sodium. So I'm looking to eliminate some salt from my diet. Geezus.
It's well over twice my supposed daily target!
-
Good news, I used the treadmill and it did not catch on fire. However I did get a quite a few looks of discouragment from my dog. She stayed close by just in case I died!!!!!
-
Here's a pat on the back for you girls! You're all doing great!
-
Okay, I've started by replacing at least one meal per day with a salad and I'm reducing my Dr. Pepper intake daily. I figured out I can drink a 20 oz Gatorade for 1/2 the calories of a 20 oz DP. It's not perfect but it's a plan.
-
I am not going to even count today. I woke up with a migrane agin this morning. Made it to work by 8 because I have so much to do today. Laid on the floor of my office till 9 got up took more meds and now I have just set down at my desk.
-
How many are in for the April incentive?

Have you cut way back on caffine? If so that might be your problem. Give it a day or so and it should be better.
-
I am not sure yet how many are in the incentive for the month . . .
I won't really know that for sure until I get all of the checks, but I'll do some estimating this evening and let you all know based on what everyone has said who is participating. . .
And I'll also be announcing this month's incentive prize tomorrow morning!!

Anything that you have cut out, sugars, starches, etc... will cause that as it is your body going through the withdrawl but usually subside in about 3 days. Different for everyone but most usually 3 days.

well just got on my computer..been gone all day had to go give blood and a urinalysis. so once i was done i went to walmart and there is a subway in there so i ate a 6inch wheat roasted chicken breast with sun chips and a coke. that was i guess around noon. just got home and i ate a special K snack bar and a piece of cheese and bottled water. i took my bloodpressure medicine and had to run in my moms house to go peeeeeeeeeee........

hey lady Great job congratulations...I am glad to see you are still sticking with it..I am at my goal weight and dont want to lose any more but now is the time to try to firm it up...I understand the not wanting to buy any more good clothes until you hit your goal..I did that and now still gonna have to go get more cause now that I am trying to tone it all up I am losing it in places i really didnt want to....
Again Congratulations
-
thats why i did it all the same time- working out and eating changes... maybe it wont be as hard...
-
I am so proud of you peeps...........I just have to eat so I won't ever lose anything.............Keep up the good work!!
-
Oh lord...
I have more motivation today. I managed to get Maverick where he was wanting to take off into the barrel pattern at his own clip to the first barrel and then pushing him on... I'm going to have to get in better shape or he is SOOON going to leave me sitting at that barrel. I have never had a horse leave harder than he does.
I gotta get lighter and quicker on my reflexes. Woof he's quick, fast and powerful!
-
congrats lwest that is awesome.....
i fixed chicken rice and gravy tonight with frozen corn. i was going to have it with brown rice but couldn't find the brown rice.
-
THANKS i cant have the rice period...(good thing i dont like rice)
-
i wish i didn't like rice or any kind of starches....
-
I'm addicted to starches too. I end up consuming them without realizing it.
mycaloriecounter is telling me a LOT about my eating habits, but I did manage to stay at 2000 calories yesterday. I'd hate to know how many cals I was consuming before I started using it.
-
So what is so fatty about egg yolks? That is the best part of the egg?
-
I think the yolks has something to do with cholesterol.

Glad I'm not gonna be anywhere around your house this evening!!

Egg yolks is where all the fat and saturated fat comes from. Saturated fat is where the bad cholesterol is.
-
How is the no smoking going?
-
Not so well. But everyday is a new day and another day to keep trying. I'm down to only 4-5 cigs a day.
-
Alright so it seems that a few of us might need a little bit of inspiration in this our first month of competition!
One might say you need some incentive to succeed . . .
HERE YOU GO!!!
Based on the PM's I have (I don't have checks for everyone yet)
Our monthly incentive pot is up to
$75
That's the same amount as our first challenge all together!
$75 bucks will buy you something nice ladies . . .
BUT!! You won't have to buy it for yourself since the winner of this month's incentive challenge will also recieve THIS!!
(http://www.crystalcaballo.com/TurqwthCowhidCrossNcklac.jpg)
CrystaCaballo.com custom creation.
This handmade Turquoise chunk, and bead necklace is valued at $35
It will come complete with the cowhide and crystal pendant you see here, which is magnetic and can be used on other necklaces!!
Winner will be able to select from any item valued at $35 or less on the www.crystalcaballo.com (http://www.crystalcaballo.com) website.
So with a necklace valued at $35 . . . and $75 cash . . . we are talking about
$110 worth of incentive!!

Hey V - What day is your WW meeting? How's it going? I'm very pleased. Week 1 yielded 2.2 lbs. I really could've done better from an eating perspective, but I'm really pleased so far. I wasn't sure how well I'd do this time since there's really no true "core" plan anymore. Tracking is actually good for me since I have portion control issues, I just didn't want to do it. I hope things are going as well for you!
LWest - Congrats! You've worked hard and are seeing significant results!
ShelleyCircles - No, I'm not going to forget your stripper name. Hang in there girlie! I promise, it's SO worth every nail-biting moment to get the nicotine out of your system. You'll be so glad you did it.

Are you sure lighter will be better?! LOL! He might really leave you at the barrel if you way less!! Haha!
-
Jewelery and cash??!! ROCK ON!!!
PS - I'm also promising myself a pair of new shoes. Gotta go to the store for more broccoli!!
-
I don't actually go to meetings. I just do the online plan, and it works realy well for me.
Since I started it I have lost a grand total of like 3 lbs . . . but that was all lost in the first two weeks . . .
I kinda fell off for the 2 weeks or so after that.
But I've maintained that loss for the start of this challenge and feel like I am doing well so far!
3lbs per week is my goal! Whic is not too far fetched on the plan to be honest.
I haven't been reaching my activity goals yet . . . but now that I've seen we are up to $75 for the month I am really gonna get on the ball with this thing!
-
so this morning i had special k cereal (w/2% milk, i haven't been to the store to get a different kinda milk i think i am going to go down to 1%) then my mom made some deviled eggs so i ate two and half MacKenzy ate the other half. then for lunch i ate a special K meal bar and drank some water. that meal bar held up pretty good. now it is about time i eat a snack bar. i don't know what my goal will be weekly i will just have to play it by ear.
-
punkin sent you a pm before the challenge, did you not get it????????

I've gotta do something though. Seriously... First off I was riding my old Billy Cook that does not keep this fat booty in the seat anymore. My rough out is too slick. But that's what James insists on riding and he warmed him up. So...
When he left the first he threw me back behind the saddle and then forward so hard I hit myself in areas that we will not discuss on a public board. But needless to say, I just held the heck on for the rest of the pattern for that time. He's getting better at realizing that it's fun to run them. And I'm not really having to kick much. Just smooch. He's got an accelerator that's awesome!
As soon as I get home I'm running on the treadmill for 10 minutes. I think that's an honest small goal. Then laying in the tanning bed... Then I gotta go get on Sable. She was better yesterday.
Intake today has been down so far. But I have to get treats for the kiddos tomorrow for their review. So... Might not be such a good thing.

Brooksie where did you say you were keeping up with your calories?
my-calorie-counter.com
Very accurate on the things that are there and it tells you carbs, starchs, protein, sugars, sodium, calories and all that. Plus it has a water intake for you, a journal, charts to help you see your progress and activities to enter so that you can subtract from your total!
-
wow, the prizes are great, I only have 3 pounds to get rid of. Can't join your challenge, but my hat is off to each and everyone. You are going to feel wonderful.
-
Me.....Want.....Necklace!
-
That is the necklace I LOVED the MOSTEST on her page! Allthough....I could find a few others.
-
Wow on the necklace!!!! I knew there was a reason I turned down the ice cream at McDonald's today. When my dad said he was stopping I quickly popped a piece of speariment gum in my mouth. Everything tastes bad after you have a piece of speariment gum!!!!
-
The necklace is ..SWEET!!! Gotta get my hiney back on the treadmill!!!!!!
-
well i did good today except this afternoon i had a few pieces of pizza and some coke. and a little bit of carrot cake (just picked at it because it had raisens in it, eww and a little bit of strawberry ice cream)
Ve that necklace is really pretty...
Remember yall my embroidary is apart of Ve's website ;)
-
Are the incentive prizes done by the month? If I win it, I will have to buy the flip flops that match it!!!! Ve, if I sent 15 does that mean I am in the incentive?
-
I have a B-day this month.

Sorry i have not been posting. I am just not myself right now. I think I am starting to get depressed....But guys, I think I have the right to be a little depressed right now. My meds have kept me afloat...but well, I feel like breaking down. Anyhow, I ate some hot dogs and drank some water.....and for breakfast I had scrambled eggs and two pieces of toast. But yesterday, ate nothing and the day before that...not much.
-
GB just know that you do have people praying for you and the filly...
i am not going to do good tonight i am making chicken alfredo with brocili and noodles. and i just tasted it and it was yummy. this is my favorite meal to make but omg soooo much sodium because of the sauce. all we had was chicken in the freezer too cook so hubby wanted alfredo.
then tomorrow i will be eating seafood for good friday. and here comes the weekend will be hard to eat healthy over the weekend. i drank the special K water today that you put the pack in your water i bought the tea and it is good.
-
Prayers for you Gabe's Babe. Grrrrrr.......I cannot stay away from the Dr. Peppers. I had my one a day today! Tomorrows a new day right?
-
I haven't been posting much today . . . a lot on my mind.
But . . . apparently this was the breakthrough I needed.
I haven't eaten at all today. Not a thing.
I did have a fanta orange, and I'm planning on a bear with a tylenol PM in a bit . . .
But in terms of food I am not the least bit hungry.
-
Ok MissVe....You need to at least eat something...You know you need to eat in order for your metabloism to work corrrectly, You are only hurting your body by not eating..At least eat SOMETHING...even if it a little bit...try an hard biole egg you need protien....am I gonna have to come down there and have a discussion...lol
we are here if you need us..
-
well for supper i cooked chicken alfredo with brocoli and noodles. omg was it good. yes not very healthy because of the sauce but i made just enough noodles to where i couldn't go back for seconds. Matt definetly loved it. had my one coke today. drank a glass of tea but other than that i have been drinking lots and lots of water. i have to make sure i have bottled water because if not i want drink it from the faucet.
-
BUMP!!!
I hope that everyone is well today.
I will not let my personal strife get in the way of this challenge, and I won't let it keep you all from succeeding!
So let's talk about struggles that any of us are having, and then maybe we can help each other get over the bumps and lumps.
What y'all got?
-
Nobody is having any issues, heading in to this holiday weekend none of you are struggling?
Come on now.
-
2 words:
EASTER
CANDY!!!
-
I say have a little bit if you want it.
Don't deprive yourself, that will only make it worse and make you really go too far when you do have it.
And if you KNOW that you are going to go overboard . . . EARN IT!!
Go walking this evening and tomorrow morning - you are worth more than that candy is.
Your health is worth more than that candy is . . .
You can have whatever you want, if you earn it.
-
issues? as in candy? helll ya--after i made all the grand kids easter baskets i've BEEN dipping into whats left!!! do we HAVE to report in on monday? roflmao<< cuz i cant get my fat azzz off the floor!
-
yes you must report in on Monday . . . it will help with accountability going forward!
It will be okay I am sure.
-
Hey Ve,
Did my check make it to you yet? I had sent 15, so just wanted to make sure you knew I was in for the April incentive as well. :) I WANT THAT NECKLACE SOOOOOOO BAD!!!
yup got you, and sent you a pm today.
-
I agree with the Easter candy!!!!!!!
-
Well, I usually have a craving for sweets, but since I have been eating these protein bars that are chocolate flavored, that has really helped to curb the craving. And if I get a craving for sweet tea, I have some Crystal Light instead. So I've done pretty good this week. I'm hoping to stay on track this weekend. Seems like the weekends are the hardest.
-
Earn it before it tempts you . . .whatever it is - work out this evening (take the dogs on a long walk and post the trot for 20 minutes) and plan to do something physical tomorrow morning and then when you are faced with ham, and mashed taters, and yummy Easter Goodness . . . you will be able to have a little bit of everything that you want.
-
Yeah, I think this weekend we are push mowing the lawn, the whole 2 acres of it....so I'm thinking I may earn some yummy goodness...I just hope I don't go overboard!
-
So I just secured another incentive prize that I am EXTREMELY EXCITED about!!
It will be saved for the final winner . . . and that person is going to be BEYOND happy!! BEYOND!!
-
Oh girl, don't tease me like that!!!! I wanna know! :)
-
Hey - Here's a positive insight on Easter Candy.. SUGAR FREE PEEPS! They are YUMMY! I know, there's no middle road when it comes to Peeps. You love 'em or you despise 'em. For you Peep lovers go find some! Walgreen's and Walmart both have them in stock. The Sugar Free ones are tasty. 60 cals and no fat!! (Note - If you are a binge eater, beware, they have a laxative effect if you eat too many, so don't keep too many in the house.) Ugh - I wish I were doing as well as I was last week. Work stress is kicking my a..! I'm on the opposite side of GB, in HR, doing the actual terminations. I'd rather be working at McDonalds! At least I'd get to give kids toys with their food. Sigh...
-
I have done good almost all week, but totally blew it today at lunch. But really it was not my fault (yea right)!! My husband came home with a really good gooey pepperoni pizza with some crazy bread to go with it. I have been thinking how in the heck I am going to get through my P90X Ab Ripper routine today. Thankfully I already did the Plyometrics before he came home. Good thing weigh in is not until Monday, but I am also participating in my Jazzercise (aerobics class) weight loss program and weigh in is tomorrow. Oopps!!!
Oh but besides today's pizza I am seriously struggling with cutting out my Dr. Pepper a day. So far no problems with Easter candy and I will not be able to take the kids to church or to my families Easter gathering since my poor Luke has an ear infection and my husband wants to quarintine (spell?) him. I would rather be dealing with the temptation than for my boys to have to miss Easter. :(
-
My main thing is I have to get off my fat azz!! So today I push mowed about 2 acres...OUCH....but can I have candy now???
-
You can have candy now . . .
-
Oh bless you!!! YAY!! Jelly beans!
-
My main thing is I have to get off my fat azz!! So today I push mowed about 2 acres...OUCH....but can I have candy now???
You go girl!!!! I'd say you can have candy now!!
-
So I just secured another incentive prize that I am EXTREMELY EXCITED about!!
It will be saved for the final winner . . . and that person is going to be BEYOND happy!! BEYOND!!
So forgive me for I am blonde........how will all the incentive prizes get distributed if only one is given each month? Will all except 3 prizes be given to the BIG WINNER?
-
One will be awarded each month, and then I will award the remainder of the prizes at the end.
The grand challenge winner will wina fairly sizeable reward, and I sould hve enough stuff to also give something to the folks who come in second and third.
-
Well I did poorly all week until the last two days since I have been sick and lost everything I gained so now all I have to do is get through the weekend but since we will be at Abilene it shouldn't be too bad as we won't be eating all the sweets!
-
Glad that you are feeling better barl5!!!!!
-
A little better today! Wednesday night, not so good. Everything felt like it was on fire from my chest, my throat, my nose, my head and stopped up and couldn't breath and couldn't stop coughing long enough to get maybe an hours worth of sleep. When I got up out of bed this morning it was a little damp from all the sweatting. So hopefully I am on the down hill side of it. Still can't breath and the stuff has drained down into my chest so it sounds like I am in a box when I talk and still steadily coughing but have a little more energy today. Good thing hubby is out of the country or I would be keeping him awake and wet from all the sweat!!!
-

I've pretty much decided I'm doomed until my parents go home. Mom and dad are visiting for 2 weeks and mom is cooking dinner every night! Who can resist home made chicken and dumplins, chicken and rice, roast and potatoes, beef tips and gravy, should I go on?????

Maybe I will, get that chocolate donut off, and the hundred others that are stuck on me. When did I get in this hole? I have always thought that I did not eat that many sweets! The minute I start to rejuvenate my diet, I want what I want, and it always something sweet, I need some inspiration here!!!??? Someone tell me that tomorrow I may eat all the ham and mustard greens I can eat. And that I really want a pair of Punkin Flipflops! Punkin please can you make that one of the incentives!!!??? Please!!?? :D

Punkin said we could pick anything on her website that is valued at $35 or less.......so that means if you win you can have those flip flops!!!! So there is your motivation!!!!!
Don't feel too bad over one chocolate donut. I slipped really bad yesterday and then again today. Pizza yesterday and chocolate cake today. I will be walking with you tomorrow.
-
Well i have to have some malted milk eggs...that's my favorite Easter candy.
-
I get a protein bar at walmart that is pretty good, comes in double chocolate. I eat half for a snack in the morning, and then the other half as a snack in the afternoon. That might help with the chocolate/sweet cravings....I know it has helped with mine.
I knew that my room mate was probably going to making brownies today, cause she's studying for finals and craves brownies when she's stressed, so I mowed today to make sure I would work off the extra calories before I had the brownie, and yes, I stopped at just one...thank goodness. It was good, and I'm glad that I didn't go overboard. Yay!
-
well this morning (saturday morning) i ate my special K cereal with 1% milk. then for lunch ate a special K protein meal bar then left the house around 3:30pm and headed to the nbha show i was so hungry by the time we got there i ate nachos with chili and cheese and jalopeno peppers (i couldn't help it) got home tonight 11:30pm i was hungry so i ate a special k protein snack bar and some water.
not sure how i will eat tomorrow. but i am telling yall the weekends are going to be hard for me that is for sure!
-
Yeah, I think weekends are the hardest too.
-
yeah tomorrow will either be bbq or some type of seafood not sure.
-
Alrighty ladies!
It's Monday morning and that means it's time for us to check in with our weights for the week.
Don't be discouraged if you gained a little this week. That's to be expected on a holiday weekend that is fraught with yumminess!
Please send me a PM with you updated weight by 2 PM today.
I will tell y'all that I am very serious about this challenge and intend to be a contender . . . so in order to keep myself accountable to y'all I'm gonna report OUT LOUD here.
I can't believe it.
I don't weigh until about 8 AM, but I will let y'all know then what I lost this last week!
-
yeah tomorrow will either be bbq or some type of seafood not sure.
Yum. Seafood! My favorite! Good luck to you all this week! Just remember a caloric deficit is the name of the game. Burn more than you take in and you can't help but lose weight!

Gotcha!
=)
-
Just sent you mine. I lost 4.4 lbs..... 8)
-
sent mine and the check is in the mail. and also I am 1week behind so no weight loss to report this week!
will be riding and hanging on tight to that wagon this week, trying to catch up! lol
-
I've been riding the heck out of my horses, they have to be in shape for the 3 day barrel race this weekend! Me too for that matter!
-
I shudder to say this out loud . . . but if you all have to check in, then so do I.
My start weight on Monday 04/06 was 226.2
Today 04/13/09 I am at 221.1
For a total loss of 5.1 lbs
-
I'm excited about my loss, but it was a little extreme to be honest.
There were two or three days last week where I didn't eat ALL DAY, and dinner was a treat of Coors light and tylenol PM . . .
That is obviously not healthy and I will not be keeping that up . . .
-
OK, Since Ve Said it out loud, my original weight is 173 and today its 170. I think its just water. But dang it, I will take it!

I don't know about healthy, but tylenol pm and coors light hmmmm not a good combo!
-
3 lbs is a good loss!
It's not too much and not too little!
I've gotten a couple updates this morning and we are all doing okay. Even those of us who gained a pound or two didn't go overboard!!
-

I HAD to sleep and I just couldn't get there on my own.
But I'm feeling better now . . . and don't have any coors light in the house anymore.
-
I thought I was bad. The other night for dinner I had a glass of wine and a Reese's peanut butter egg!
-
LOL
-
Since I not on the challenge, I will tell you I gained two pounds, I need to stop eating so much.
-
i pm'd you VE my weight last monday 160lbs this week 155lbs. it is fluid i lost but for some reason my body is holding fluid and plus my bloodpressure has been high and doctor put me on blood pressure medicine also has fluid medicine in it. so that medicine has helped for sure.
oh and i didn't do good over the weekend. yesterday i ate bbq, potato salad, pork n beans, and last night i had some crawfish pie.
why is it doctors think that riding horses isn't exercise???
-
I shudder to say this out loud . . . but if you all have to check in, then so do I.

Girl so PROUD OF YOU!!!! I have been putting off getting back on the wagon with you. Have not weighed since the last one. My scales went to scales heaven or hell not sure which. I might have to get another set this week and get back on. Send me pm with your address and I will send you a check.
-
Well, I did pretty good, even though I did splurge yesterday. I started at 150, and I'm 149 right now!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!! It's been months since I have been able to lose any at all! So this one pound means ALOT to me!
Congrats to everyone who did great this week. Lets keep on truckin'!
-
congrats girl, I know how much that pound means!

Because they don't ride at all or when they do, they don't ride like we do. They think you just sit there and let the horse do all the work.
-
My personal trainer also says it doesnt count becasue my body is so use to it. Drives me nuts!
-
Easter candy sabotage! I was down 2.2 lbs and I gained 1 lb yesterday. I'm thrilled for every lb lost and thankful it's not a lb gained!
-
doctor and/or personal trainer be danged
15 minutes posting the trot is exercise!
-
believe me my horses make me exercise that is for sure!!!! now the amount of riding i do ok its not really exercise since i can't ride everyday like some of yall do but one of these days when the twins are older i will ride everyday!!!
-
doctor and/or personal trainer be danged
15 minutes posting the trot is exercise!
Amen sister! And if you do it for 30 mins you find muscles you didn't even know you had!
-
If I do it for 30 minutes I typically fall over out of the saddle, but that may be the difference between you and I!
You find muscles . . . I find the ground.
-
So I started the challenge at 175.8 and today is 171.4.
-

OMG! I nearly feel outta my chair AT WORK! No, I'm the one hanging onto the saddle horn for dear life thinking, when is this over, am I done yet? And then the next day I feel like I've been hit by a bus and drug for a couple of miles. So yeah, if that aint exercise, then I don't know what is.
-
So I started the challenge at 175.8 and today is 171.4.
Congratulations!!
How good does that feel to say?!? That you lost weight this week!
-
it feels good. Now the hard part is keeping it off and hopefully a few more pounds. Congrats to you too and everyone else who has joined in on the challenge and lost some!!
-
NOOOO!
It's easy from here.
You'll ge to thinking about what you did this week and you'll say, well I lost this much by doing this . . . so I'll just cut this out or I'll just start walking too and eventually you are eating healthier each week and geting more activity in your life.
It will take a while, but you'll start to want the high of saying "I lost another xx pounds!" more than you'll want the high that comes from eating the cake, or drinking the Coke, or laying on the couch.
Once you jump that first hurdle, you realize that you can do it and the rest of them just don't look so high anymore!
-
Well this morning I Walked to the back pasture, then walked back. Ate Kashe Go Lean Cereal (its good!) and drank a cup of coffee. Next, I CLEANED...well, I started to put things away since my husband is a pack rat that refuses to throu things away or even put his tools in his brand new (bought it two years ago) tool chest......The tool chest is empty.....the tools are all over the floor!! YIKES!!!! Anyhow, my point is that I am active at the house!!!
-
those first few pounds are exciting but the let down comes when you hit a plateau!
I've been at one for awhile so guess I'll buckle down!
-
When you hit a plateau you have to shock your system back into response.
Now is the time for your to do something drastic!
Eliminate carbs - start a new fitness program - something much more aggressive than what you've been doing!
It will happen.
-
thumbs up smiley
-
Ve has everyone checked in with you? just curious. i have done two loads of real laundry today, now i need to go do dishes. i hate cleaning house. i think if i would clean i could loose a whole bunch of calories that is for sure.
-

-
I'm still lacking a few folks who may get back to me later this afternoon!

-

Because of the number of participants we have this time around the graph is a little hard to read, but you get the gist!
I'll be posting a different version of the leader board on the website so that will help as well!!
-
doctor and/or personal trainer be danged
15 minutes posting the trot is exercise!
I read somewhere that that burns a boat load of calories.
-
Great job.
-
where did the slimmer in the saddle website go? i can't find it!
-
StacieLeighMay leads us right now with 4.33% weight lost this week!!
Which is AMAZING! She had a big loss this week, and she's not even sure why!
Farel is in Second place with 3.13% lost! I kinda want to beat her up a little bit about this seeing as she was the one saying she couldn't get motivated!!
In third is KMC with 2.5% lost, and I couldn't be prouder!!
I'm gonna give you this link
http://www.imageuploadsite.com/viewer.php?file=ales4bhhkzomyrdivjf.jpg (http://www.imageuploadsite.com/viewer.php?file=ales4bhhkzomyrdivjf.jpg)

-
Congrats ladies! We are off to a pretty good start, whoo hooo!
-
Great job everyone!!!! I am now getting serious.......I have not had a Dr. Pepper in two days and I ate my first healthy egg. Meaning egg whites. I am now marinating chicken for supper. I do not think chicken has made it into my house in 4 or 5 months. My husband my protest, but I can handle him!!!!
-
not cooking supper tonight..i may have me a subway sandwhich. going to a 4D tonight.
-
I'm making chicken fried steak tonight from a Weight Watchers recipe, so wish me luck.
This is one of Puddin's FAVORITE foods, so I'm terribly nervous about making it for him!
-
We are having chicken for dinner. My Chef has it marinating so he can throw it on the grill when he gets home along with some vegs. I am trying to get him to hurry up and eat all the candy in the house.
-
I'm not sure what I'm going to do tonight, I might grill some steak....
-
I don't know how many are following the WW plan but they have a killer recipe for Potato Soup and Tomato Soup.
The potato soup is as follows: 1 bag of Orida Potato O'Brien, 1 pkg of Peppered gravy mix and 3 cans of chicken broth. Now you can add another can if you like to make it more soupy. I just chunk it all in a pan and cook it until the taters are soft. Of course you can add salt and pepper to taste. I like the Garlic flavored chicken broth myself it adds a little zing. For 1 cup I believe it's 1 point.
The tomato soup is : 1 can of Italian stewed tomatos and 1 tblsp of fat free cream chz. Throw it all in a blender then zap it to warm it up. It's also 1 point for 1 cup. And it's fabulous!!
-
that potato soup sounds good....
-
I've been getting the ranch and parmesean flavored shake-n-bakes for my chicken....they are yummy. You can also use them on pork chops.

is there alot of sodium in those? (i have to watch my sodium) you can also get some corn flakes crush them up and put on your chicken or pork
I'm not sure, I know it's only like 35 calories, which isn't bad. I'll check the box and see what the box says.

We are having chicken for dinner. My Chef has it marinating so he can throw it on the grill when he gets home along with some vegs. I am trying to get him to hurry up and eat all the candy in the house.
Having a Chef would only happen in my dreams. Girl count your blessings!!!!
I think the word "chef" loosely translates into a husband or boyfriend who better be prepared to grillh er some vittles when he gets home . .
-
Yes it is my boyfriend. He does majority of the cooking.

That is exactly what I think she was talking about........I could never call my husband a chef!!!!!!! :)
-
I have one of those!!! HAHAHA! Hubby does all the cooking, that is when he is home. Really sucks when he is off working for a couple of months cause it is a lot of microwave cooking (pizza pockets, hot dogs and such) as the kids don't like eating anything I like cooking like casseroles, or any thing with veggies so I just make them fix for themselves since they are so picky!!
-
Mernin' Y'all!!
-
Good Morning ;) ;) Did everyone have a good night last night. It was hard at my house. My husband came in with some cookies that a good friend gave him. Not talking about a few talking about several. And they are my favorites. Trying to think of whom to give them too. Any one close by wanting any???
-
Give them to the people at the bank . . . at the dry cleaners . . .anywhere, just get them out of the house.
But only after you have at least one. it's important to treat yourself sometimes, otherwise this will start to feel like a punishment.
-
Yes, I do need to get them out of the house. I think I will take some to the barn this weekend. Maybe they will eat some of them there. If not I can put them in the freezer there and I will not have them at home. I was going to ride last night but my pasture at home is still a mud pit. So no ridding. I need to ride for my mare's getting fatter and so am I.
-
I am sorry I have had a busy couple of weeks with school. And busy month to come!
I'm down to 180.5. Sorry for updating late! I'm getting slowly down there, but it's taking a lot of willpower to back away from the cookies... eat breakfast, good lunch and a light supper. :)
Do I need to send it to Punkin or just update here?
I think that makes my total lost 8.5 lbs.
If I did the calculation right, I think that's like 4.49% or so.
-
hey yall i had a hard time this afternoon... after we came back from seeing my grandmother my dad had some spaghetti that he brought down with him that he had made while he was in Wisconsin. so i had some of that. then later on my other grandmother that i am staying with tonight made some chicken and sausage gumbo and i couldn't help myself on that. so dang good! so tomorrow morning i am going to have my special water for breakfast.
-
How is everyone doing today?
-
I had a bad day Tuesday, yesterday and today . . . but I'm gonna work out really hard to try to make up for it!
30 minutes on the elliptical trainer, 45 minutes of weight circuit training, and a 15 minute cool down on the tread mill ought to make up for something . . .
-
Anything is better that nothing, so it should help! I've been doing good with sticking to my meal plan, but have still been pretty busy so I haven't got to get back around to my workouts yet. *sigh*
-
One of my coworkers got me sick so this has not been a good week. No workout and when I do feel like eating it has not been that great. All I want is mexican food, ice cream and candy.
-
Well today I ate a spinach and shroom pizza.....it was good and SMALL and good. That is all I have eaten today. Made a roast yesterday and ate that last night and for lunch yesterday...
-
I figure I'm just hosed this week, so I'll end the week with a bang!! I'm goin' out for crawfish tonight!!!!
-
ok so it was hard these couple of days being at my grandmothers house with her good cooking. so i ate some speghetti yesterday afternoon then later on ate some chicken and sausage gumb. then this morning i ate ONE pancake. then for lunch i ate a shrimp po-boy then that afternoon ate some more gumbo then when i got home for 8pm i ate some more gumbo..yummy! so needless to say this week sucks!!!
-
Well i was finally good today...It usually takes me a good week...to stay on a diet.
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm GUMBO!!!
-
Darn that crazy pound everytime I think I have lost it for good it finds me again....Someone please come and take it from me and keep it away..I am so tired of fighting that crazy pound...
going to go and walk some more and do some major working out..at least what my leg will allow me to do..cant do much without it hurting bad...
Keep up the good work ladies as a group we can do it...think smaller jeans and healthier lifestyles.....YEAH
-
i just ate a special k meal bar and a little bit of milk. i haven't lost anymore and i haven't gained anymore. so i guess that is good.
today is Matt and i anniversary (11years) so tomorrow night we are going eat boiled crawfish and then go to the casino in Kinder for a little bit. my sister n law is keeping the twins. i can do good during the week if i am home but when i am away from home i don't do good.
-

I DO!!! oh ya..my special friends name is POUNDS...im sick of these pounds...pounds pounds go away and dont come back no other day................i swear ive been trying to leave them at the gym but they keep running out behind me and continue to hitch a ride..........
-
I'm at 181.5... So no loss this week... But my 'aunt' is in town, so I'm sure part of it is water weight. YUCKO!
-

-

YAY!
YEESH GIRL!!
-
YOWZA - I don't think I've been under 150 since age 5!
-
Alright!! I'm gonna take updates for the rest of today and post the leader board tomorrow morning!
Please remember, if you haven't already . . . send me your updated weight via PM!
-
Another two pounds for me!!
In total since January, I've lost 13 pounds and 3 1/2". My wedding dress is pretty loose but looks good. I wore a pair of jeans to the barrel race yesterday that I havent been able to wear in two years! And they were comfortable enough to ride in!!!!
-
I have lost a total of 7 pounds since we started this challenge. My goal is to be able to wear my summer clothes from last year and hopefully need to buy smaller ones too! My big goal is 40 pounds. Only 33 more to go. :-\
-
I sent my update, but it wasn't pretty! All mom's home cooking was working against me!! But they've gone home now, so it's back on the wagon for me!!
-
Hey Ve~ 168
HOT DANG!!
I am sure that the two pieces of cheese cake yesterday did not help any, but well, I lost a pound last week!! Perhaps with 1Tex's treadmill, I can loose more this week!
-
I just bought, some special K proten drinks...are they any good?
-
168!
I dream of that...
Try 181.5
:(
I'm hoping a lot is water weight because it's discouraging.
-
I am not sure bout the Special K drinks. I plan to eat a lot of fish for the next month. I bought some salmon fillets and they look good!!
Brooksie, but I am 5 foot 4 inches....
-
i'm only 5 inches taller than you.... :(
-
5 inches =5 pounds each...so you are in the clear!!
-
I just bought, some special K proten drinks...are they any good?
i like them i buy the tea flavored ones...
-
168!
I dream of that...
Try 181.5
:(
I'm hoping a lot is water weight because it's discouraging.
you could be retaining alot of fluid...i know i was. even though i was drinking alot of water my body wasn't letting go of it. when my doctor put me on bloodpressure medicine it also has the fluid medicine in it which has helped me alot.
-
hey VE i pm'd you...
for lunch today i had a salad, for supper tonight i cooked a sloppy joe (but not sloppy) i used lean ground meat, a light bbq sauce...i got the recipe out of the taste of home book i have. it was pretty good. it was way better than the sloppy joe in a can that is for sure. i did cook french fries for the twins i ate a few of them. then for desert i ate some strawberrys on a little 100 calorie angle food cake with some light whip cream.
oh yead went to the doctors today and my blood results came in and i have bad cholestrol (genetics) my tri's were 148 suppose to be under 100 and my other was 248 suppose to be under 200. so the doctor put me on a low dose of meds...i will start them tomorrow along with my bloodpressure meds. but the rest of my blood was normal. my bloodpressure medicine is helping too. they are setting me up an appointment to have my right side sonogramed since i am still hurting.

-

-
I'm catchin up!!!! YAY!!!!
Seriously, I was scared at how much I lost so fast, but I asked the Dr. that I work for, and she said I was fine. Hopefully I can keep going! yay! It will help that my mouth is rubber banded shut....HAHAHAHAHA...
-
I am so incredibly proud of every one so far!
Y'all are showing some real dedication to this, and we are halfway to making our new lifestyle a bit of a habit. Keep working out, eating right and thinking positive!
-
So is it a good try if I get on the tread mill like five minutes at a time???? If i do it several times a day???
-
absolutley! =)
-

How are you supposed to get your meals then? Do you have to drink everything now?
-
ANY amount of physical activity.
It will be 5 minutes today, but next week . . . 10.
-
And I am detoxing my body using royal tea ---Where do you get this royal tea? Does it taste like other tea?
-
oh dam great..im nearly OFF the bottom of the list........
gabe..u have to build yourself up on the treadmill. each time.....i go for 45 minutes 4 times a week, starting at no incline and a speed of 3.5 mph and then when i hit my target heart rate im up to a speed of 4.2 mph and an incline of 10.... and also if i dont have my iPod-FORGET IT!!! i have to have speedy rock n roll songs to get me through it all!!
ya so what about the speciak K drinks? My trainer told me to get Boost drinks b/c of the protein but the special K's are cheeper and i think the sugars are less as well
-
Deb~ That is encouraging!! I have mine in the living room so when i am watching TV i can get on there!!!
-
gabe..i HAD one at home but it became a closet to hang clothes on and collect dust!!! so....i drive to the gym to do all that stuff...
-
oh man i fell off the latter a little bit...down to 5th place...
i started my cholestorel meds today. thursday morning i have a songram to do on my right side.
-
Alright... 3.97% down...
Wonder how much of a percent I have to go?
I know I want to make it to 150 or 145! Anyone help me out on that? Started at 189.
-
Good job Brooksie!!! I have no idea how to figure that out. TOO complicated!!!!!
-
James is out on Maverick... I need to get that exercise DVD once I see him and Mave leave and do a quick workout....
-
Well, i also walked all the way down to the back pasture to get Gabe instead of calling them up. Then we long trotted for a while...I posted...I am SORE. But I am sleepy so it must have done me some good!
-
I'm tired!!!!! I just walked in the door 30 minutes ago. I was starving when I walked in too. Thank goodness I have healthy stuff!!! Mom went to the store today. We are doing the candida diet, but I'm not entirely sure that she has gotten the concept. She bought Kashi cereal, and well.....she didn't stop to look at the ingredients on LOTS of stuff that she bought. The cereal has Wheat flour!!!! This is a NO NO on the candida diet. NO processed wheat flour!!!
She also bought Minestrone soup....without reading the label.....the noodles are wheat flour noodles! What am I going to do with her!!!!!
-
just got in the door 45 minutes ago from riding for an hour at WM's house. i cooked a chicken gravy with brown rice and some frozen vegtables. ate that around 6:30pm. i walked today with my grandmother while she was here. not sure how far we walked but something is better than nothing.
-
Last night I made goolash and salad for dinner. We put the goolash over wheat pasta. I brought some leftovers for lunch today but I may got get some chicken salad from in town. It is really good but I dont know how good it is for me.
-
Hm what can I do with some chicken breast??? I am thawing them....
-
Grill or Shake N Bake, I like the ranch or parmesan, yummy!
-
take a chicken breast and put some black beans(canned) and some frozen corn, then season to taste and wrap them in foil and put them in the oven. Do them seperately. Open the foil and dump it on your plate!

You have learned some cooking skills from me!!! :-* You make a big sister SO proud.
-
Hey I have cooked dinner 2 nights in a row. Good thing we are eating out tonight before church because if I cooked another night the world might come to an end or everyone will have heart failure.
-
LOL Kmc, you crack me up! I have been cookng a lot lately. I think i need to go with something EASY cause well, I am having such a day that I dont think I can think right. I just made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I get a sweet tooth when I am depressed. But these cookies are better than having cheese cake!! Not sure what I will do for dinner, but the black beans sound goood. However I dont have any. Sigh.
-
wednesday morning i had some special k cereal with some orange juice so i can take my meds. for lunch i had a turkey sandwich and then for supper i had some fried catfish and a little bit of fries.
now tomorrow is another day. i have my ultra sound in the morning so no eating or drinking for me til it is over my appointment is for 10:30am and after i get out i am going to be starving. so my grandmother is going with me and i promised i would take her to go eat at Raisen Canes, she loves chicken. then i think after that we are going shoe shopping for her. and i may go get some pictures developed.
-
GREAT Recipe KMc! Nothing better than black beans and corn together - YUM! I'm sooo going to try it!
For you WW followers I found a rockin points value packed with fiber. I hope this is not a board "no no" to post food product names. If so, I apologize up front. However, Nature's Own Double Fiber bread - 2 pieces for 1 point! That SOOO rocks! It's really good! I like it much better than the cardboard taste of the sugar free breads. My daughter even likes it! (SHOCKER - she doesn't like much at all!)
-
Well, yesterday I had cherios and oj, then half of a stuffed bell pepper for lunch. Then for dinner, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yeah so burn me on the cookies, but dang it, it was comforting and at least I did not stuff my face all day!!
-
I am trying to do WW but I dont know how many points the Chicken in foil thingy would be.
-
UGH!!! I'm in a rutt again!!!! I'm stuck at 143!!! I still have a lot to lose, and I can't get moving. I've added LOTS of riding time into my week, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to start cardio again. I'm still doing great on my lifestyle meal change. I'm really liking the healthier foods too. I'm liking finding new ways to fix them. I'm not missing the cokes either...atleast not anymore.
If you have any suggestions, PLEASE share!!!
-
Hey KMc - Just do your points on the measured amount of chicken, beans and corn. It won't be high at all. The beans are high in fiber!
-

See, that's kind of what happened to me after my first week, I didn't loose anything really, so I'm adding workouts back into mine and going to see if that helps, at least I hope it does, cause I got a lot more to loose too.
-
I stepped on the scales this morning just to peak and I am back up to 171. HELP!!!!!! Work stress is not helping much either right now. I have cut my portions down and dont snack during the day. I guess I need to get back on the cardio wagon again.
-
Hey KMc, you and me are bout the same!!! I started doing something different...Instead of calling the horses up so I can catch them, I am walking down to the back pasture to get them....AND I am not jumping on Gabe and riding him back to the barn!!! Walk Walk Walk!! I am fixing to go grab my dog and take her for a pasture walk! Stress sucks!! But try being on a medication that says on the label...rapid weight gain up to 30 pounds...a side affect. Ugh.
-
LOL Kmc, you crack me up! I have been cookng a lot lately. I think i need to go with something EASY cause well, I am having such a day that I dont think I can think right.

Not sure what I will do for dinner, but the black beans sound goood. However I dont have any. Sigh.
Hey!...that's what the golden girls do...get out the cheese cake...I love that show.
-
I'm eating light suppers finally. Not depending near as much on cokes either. I've almost made the switch to lots of water and 1/2 a thing of powerade a day to keep the electrolytes up.
Gotta find time to do some muscle confusion. Wish I could order that P90X and try it.
-
well today i had my sonogram done so i couldn't eat anything this morning. after i was done with my sonogram i took my grandmother to Raisen Canes i had three pieces of chicken and some fries with some sweet tea at noon. then ate supper at 7:30pm i cooked a round steak gravy with home made mashed taters and some butter beans and a salad.
i bought me a new scale today because the one that i have is like 11 years old and is stuck on a number. so i bought a new one. i have cut down to one coke only a day. the rest is water or maybe a glass of tea or i have been buying the crystal lite tea.
-
I've switched to diet coke...I don't like it...but i think about the calories....ever noticed when you go off your diet....and here comes the diet adds on t.v...to make you feel bad!!
-
diet drinks ewww. the only diet drink i would consider drinking would be a diet dr pepper. but since i only allow myself one coke a day i think it will be ok.
-
Hey WW fans - Gotta new recipe for ya. 2 pieces of French Toast for 2 points!!! 3 egg whites, cinnamon to taste, splenda to taste, a dash of vanilla flavoring and 2 piece of the Double Fiber bread. You can also add sugar free waffle syrup, if you measure it - for zero - 1 pts! It's yummy and I'm quite full!
PS - My dogs love it too because they all get the egg yolks. A tasty treat that will help their coat!

Have you thought about trying the Chalean Extreme? That's what I'm doing right now. I would love to do P90X after my round with CE.

OK enough is enough. I just tried on MILLIONS of jeans. Why is butt crack in style? How are you supose to ride when your thigh is restricted? Where do they sell shirts for 38DD with no shoulders? Sigh

i know it is expensive but i buy my bra's at VS... yeah they don't make jeans anymore without your butt showing. for some reason or another these young skinny girls like showing their cracks off...ewww.
-
VS bras gap on me. Ugh. I am wearing one now. I guess my absence of shoulders affects my bras.

oh no i get the full figure bra's..nothing fancy.. i have enough there i don't need any more help.
yall i have alot of pants from before i was pregnant for the twins up in my closet lots of 9's. i had one pair of 10's in there tried them on and they fit :) 8) kinda snug because of my belly (the extra skin from having twins) but they do button and not that tight. but i still have a ways to go on the 9's. if i can do my ab lounger i think i could loose some more around my belly.
i ate a salad today for lunch and now i am drinking some crystal lite tea.
-
oh yeah i bought a new scale and it keeps up with how much you loose or gain. so that is going to help me keep up too.
-
Thats cool, sounds like a smart scale.
-
i got it from walmart and maybe paid $25 for it. it holds weight for two people.
-
I like my little digital one, i got it a little over a year ago from Bed Bath and Beyond. I wish mine showed like the body fat %, that would be cool.
-
i got it from walmart and maybe paid $25 for it. it holds weight for two people.
I think I have the same one but I didnt take the time to figure out how to program it to keep up with my weight.

I can't wear my rubberbands for awhile. They pulled a bracket off of my tooth this morning......>GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh, and STACIE!!!! you HAVE to try on those jeans I bought. I think they will fit you great. They are long cut, but if you want them shortened at all, Mom can do it easily! They are a nice pair of jeans, they just don't fit me.
-
OK going shopping tomorrow. What jeans are loose in butt and thigh? And low rise?
-

Ok, maybe bring them with you when you come visit me or if we happen to be at Dodie's at the same time. :)
-

You might try the 20x by wrangler, I've got a pair that I bought for riding back in November, and they fit pretty good, even with tights on under them. They stretch a little bit, so I think that's why they work.

Oh, and STACIE!!!! you HAVE to try on those jeans I bought. I think they will fit you great. They are long cut, but if you want them shortened at all, Mom can do it easily! They are a nice pair of jeans, they just don't fit me.
Ok, maybe bring them with you when you come visit me or if we happen to be at Dodie's at the same time. :)
WILL DO!!!!! I just bought them , and they will go to waste in my closet, and they will look great on you!
-
well i rode my mare for an hour, then after i was done riding. MacKenzy wanted to ride so she rode with me cooling my mare off. then once we were done cooling my mare off i had her pony already saddled so i tied my mare up and i think i walked her on her pony for about 30 minutes or so. then i stepped on the scale this morning and i think i may have lost a pound and a half this week. i was able to get into a size 10 jeans that i had in my closet.
-
Way to go farel!!! 8) 8) 8) 8) I am up to a size 11/13.....sigh.
-
thanks GB... i ate a salad for lunch and a salad for supper..now i am drinking me some water...
-
That sounds great Farel!
-
thanks Stacie...i am trying my best, except i do need to start doing my ab lounger i believe that will help me out.
-
well for breakfast i ate a special k meal bar then for lunch i ate a salad from subway.
-
OK cruel girl utility jeans! Cute!
-
OK cruel girl utility jeans! Cute!
i would love some of those but i haven't seen any around here...
for supper i ate another salad (i shared with the twins alittle so i made two bowels)
-
I found them at cavendars on the bottom shelf! only 3 pairs and only ONE in my fat size! Did I mention they are 13's?

stop being hard on yourself...that"s the average size for women.
-
Really????? Well that does make me feel a little better!!!! Hubby keeps telling me that I am not fat. And its not just the "smart man" coming out in him. I guess I am just shocked at the fact that I weigh 25 pounds more than my heaviest weight. I do feel better after trying on jeans with hubby. He hates the pair I got but only because they have wide bottoms....around the ankles. When i put them on for him again when we got home, he said "those will look good for just dressing up". He is just concerned that i cant ride in them and that is NOT what I wanted them for!! I want them to look cute! Thanks for the pick me up!
-
after the twins i was in a 13 too... and it has taken me two and half years to even loose some weight.
well today i was bad for breakfast i ate a fried egg with two pieces of bacon and a couple of biscuits. then at noon the twins wanted some popcorn so i fixed that and i ate a little bit. but i have been drinking alot of water today too.
-
for supper i fixed some country pork ribs with homemade mash tators, and some brocilli.
tomorrow weigh in yeah!
-
I did it!!! I am now at the weight I was at when I became preggo with my first baby. I was doing WW then with Jazzercise and had not met my goal yet when I became pregnant. So hopefully with this weight challenge and the one at Jazzercise I am in I will get to my goal!!!!
Girls, give up the soda's. Even the diet ones. It is really working for me!!!!
-
WOO HOO! WAY TO GO!! I tried giving up diet coke, and did good for a while. I think I'll wait til it gets hotter, and start drinking tea again.
I lost 2 pounds!!
-
Way to go GoBabyGo!!!! Believe me, I know how hard it is to give up soda's. My husband and I were in Austin one day last week and I said I was thirsty thinking he would stop and get some water. NOOOOOOO he stops at Sonic. So what do I order???? An ice cream cone!!!! He started laughing at me, because I rationalized not getting something to drink (aka....Dr. Pepper) and ordered an ice cream cone. You see I am addicted to Dr. Pepper and if I had just one I would have been a gonner, but I can refuse ice cream.....I think!!!!!!
Cannot wait to see how everone did. Is today the end of the month challenge or is is Thursday. I will go check the rules on the website Ve made.
-
Thanks! I'm not sure I'll have to read it too. I did actually refuse icecream last night, my son wanted to stop after we got groceries, and we had just ate supper before, and I said I'm really not hungry, so we just got something to drink as we were checking out.
-
Whoohoo! Way to go girls! TXRodeo got married this weekend and I totally blundered my eating, however, I managed to dance it off because I still lost. (I'm crippled as heck, but man I had fun! TXRodeo knows how to throw a wedding!)
-
Well it has been a week from hell. My barn help--best friend's Rott had pups on Monday. What is bad she stopped producing milk. So Gigi has had to bottle feed etc. We started out with 9 pups and lost 4. It is so hard with a first time mom. It was my weekend to work the barn and my husband had a girl scout bunch come on Sunday--without telling me ahead. I have beenso stressed. All I have done is eat. I do hope this week is better. Well I am up one pound. I hate it when I stress.
-
i am down 2 more pounds.
i ate my special k cereal meal bar this morning. the weekdays are easy for me but the weekends hard. but i am doing good all in all. i didn't think i could do it. i still need to put my ab lounger up and start doing my sit ups but just haven't gotten around to doing that.
-

-
182.5
So... +1lb
:(
I gained this weekend... Portfolio is almost over though, so it should be better this week.
-
143.7............GRRRRRR
I talked to my boss about the lack of weight loss this week, so now i have to go through a detox program.......I can't eat solids for three days on it! SUCKY!!!! Oh well. She said since I don't have as much to lose as the other ladies it's going to be LOTS harder for me, so detox now, and if I plateau again....possibly detox again. UGH!!!! At least the eating is pretty good. I can eat as much veggies as I want which is nice. I don't stay hungry, and the cravings have all but stopped. I hope I can keep this up for the rest of my life.
-
What kind of detox are we talking about? Did she say how much weight per week you should be loosing? Can you ask her if the weight that I've lost is suffice or if I should be loosing more/less??
-
ok so i have two scales my old scale which says i have lost 10lbs since i started(160lbs to 150lbs) and my new scale i bought last week says i weigh 158.4 and now 154.4 (digital). when i weighed in at the doctors April 6th i weighed 168 then when i went back April 20th i weighed 160lbs. but i think all in all i have lost 10lbs.
i am not good at keeping track of this weight...
-
Farel I hate dr. office scales. Mine was always different. Trick is to stay on one scale. I am still at 168. No change for me. But that is OK.
-

It's some detox program that she has for the Club Reduce clients in the office. I don't know which one. I'll ask about your weight loss though. Did you lose more this week?

Yeah, 1 pound, that's it. Maybe more will come off this week....dunno.

i guess i am going to have to go by my old scale which says i have lost 10lbs all in all. i have lost 2lbs from last week i know that.
-
Stacie what are you doing to lose weight?
Farel how are you liking the Special K challenge?
-
Stacie what are you doing to lose weight?
Farel how are you liking the Special K challenge?
i like it, for instance in the mornings i will eat the cereal (if i have milk). then for my snack a couple of hours later i will have their snack bar (its little but it does help) then for lunch i will eat one of their meal bars then for a snack i will have another snack bar or one of their protein drinks (the little packets you put in a water bottle) and then for supper i eat whatever i cook. it is so easy for me to do it during the weekday but for the weekend it is hard.
-
Stacie what are you doing to lose weight?
Farel how are you liking the Special K challenge?
I'm using the same meal plan that LWest was doing. And I'm adding exercise into the mix now, hoping that will jump start the fat burning again. :)
-
wonder when we are going to get updates?
-
I am just afraid I will buy the stuff for the shakes and I wont like the way they taste.
-
I think Ve usually doesn't give an update till Tuesday morning.
-
I am just afraid I will buy the stuff for the shakes and I wont like the way they taste.
i like the way the meal bars and snack bars taste. they are good. i like the water too but i buy the water that is the tea flavored.
-
i did try the special k cereal the protein plus and i didn't like that cereal it tasted like cardboard. so this time around i bought the blue berry special k cereal and it is a whole lot better.
-
That is why I am thinking of the Special K. I already have the snack bars. They are what I usually eat for breakfast.
-
the meal bars are good too for breakfast that is what i eat if i don't have milk for the cereal. its more fullfilling than the snack bars. i also been getting the crystal lite tea too for my water
-
i know i am weird but i take a swig of apple cider vinegar..i love it..i am sure it will help burn calories off.
-
Really? Apple Cider Vinegar???
-
Really? Apple Cider Vinegar???
try it, i drink out of the bottle but if you don't like it straight out the bottle put a little water with it. try doing that i guess like twice a day. but apple cider vinegar helps with alot of things..
-
Hmmmm, OK! I saw that the sell it at the grocery store. I will pick some up!
-
its by the salad dressings i think. there is white vinegar and then there is the apple cider vinegar.
-
I stayed the same...but i did alot of walking ...and watch what i ate..I felt like kicking that scale.
-
steer clear of the adkins bars...man those are some nasty thangs.....YUK!

-
Good morning! Glad to hear you had a good time! You didn't get the swine flu did you?!
-
No swine flu, although if I had gotten it perhaps it would have kept me from all the damage I did eating!
I was awful and it shows in my body!
I did SO BAD!
Oh well . . .

Alrighty Ladies!
Here is your leaderboard!!
Farel, Lil miss unmotivated, is whoopin' some serious toosh and is in first place with 6.25% of weight lost!
MHT is running a close second @ 5.48%!StacieLeighMay
and
StacieLeighMay is in third with 4.69% weight lost!
Everyone please join me in applauding these ladies . . .
Maybe if we clap long and hard enough we can burn enough calories to catch them next week!!
-
Way to go Farel!!!! I guess I am gonna head to the store and try out some of that Special K stuff. I eat the cereal a few times a week when the boys are not hungry for eggs or pancakes, but I take away the loose weight part of it by eating it with whole milk. Oooopppssss!!!!
Ve.....it is a good thing you posted that leader board. It stopped me from craving a Dr. Pepper which I have not had in 2 weeks and 1 1/2 days. I was all ready to load up the kids and head to the gas station.
I am in another weight loss challenge where I work out and we started it only 2 weeks before this challenge and the lady leading it has already lost 14 + % of her body weight. That is like WOW! I wish I could be a vigilant as she is.
Well way to go ladies!!!!
-
Way to go guys!!! Tonight I made fried eggplant...I fried it in bread crumbs and olive oil....I also made spaghetti with a nice spinach red sauce....It was yummy, filling and I did not eat much of it!!!
-
Do you puree the spinach or put it in whole or chopped up? Sounds interesting. Spinach is the only veggie I like.
-
OMG i can't believe i am in first...i thought i would get tire of the special k stuff but it is really helping. even though the weekends are hard for me i try my best to eat healthy on the weekends still. if you do the special k like they say it does work. when i cook supper i eat what i cook. i haven't elivated my cokes i do have one coke a day and sometimes i don't even drink that one coke. i do drink ALOT of water that is for sure. i bet i drink 5 bottles of water. i could loose more if i would do my sit ups on my ab lounger but i will get there slowly but surely.
oh and i did not get in the incentive race.
-
Way to go everyone!
-
Whoooo hoooooo! Way to go everyone! I don't know what a lot of you are doing, but I'm back on my workouts, and they are kicking my bootay! Keep up the good work everyone!
-
Congrats ladies on your hard work!!
-
well i fudged today (wednesday) for breakfast i had my special K cereal, orange juice to take my meds, but for lunch i took my grandmother to Popeyes (she loves eating there) so i had the shrimp basket with mash tators and gravy. i only ate half the shrimp, i did eat all the mashed tators and gravy and only half a biscuit. i did drink a coke. got home and fixed tuna fish for dinner after Matt got home from work i rode my filly then once i was done and done feeding then i ate some tuna fish in a salad. i had to refill the bowl again because the twins kept on eating my salad. MacKenzy kept on picking out the little carrots and eating them. and the purple cabage.
i had a sonogram done last week and today my doctors called i have a cyst on my right ovary so i have a doctors appointment with my obgyn doctor to see what they are going to do about it. anyways i know that has nothing to do with this thread but just wanted to let yall know what is going on.
-

Um I buy the classico spaghetti sauce...that has spinach in it!! LOL
Farel, i sure hope they get that fixed !! Sounds painful!

I've had problems with cysts since I was 15. Had to have a major surgery because mine were so bad. Sorry you are going through this, I know how the pain can be. Is it very large or minor enough to see if it will go away on it's own?

not sure of the size they didn't say. so i will know everything tomorrow. all i know is the pain isn't going away and ibruprophen isn't working.
-
Have you tried a heating pad? Maybe get some Motrin, or get some Midol and see if it helps.
-

i don't have any Motrin or Midol here so i am just going to grit it out til my doctors appointment tomorrow at 1:30pm. i do have some flexoril and some other meds from my c-section but they put me too sleep so i can't take any of that during the day. right now it is ok. thanks for the advice.
-
well for lunch i at a salad
supper i fixed some little eye of round with some gravy, potatoes, and brocili/cheese.
-
I gained weight this week, so I'm refusing to tell...
However... This portfolio and masters class stuff ends next week...
Then my horses better watch out because they are going to get the HAIR ridden off of them and I'm hitting that treadmill daily!
-
Hubby has been getting on the LOUD treadmill every night...Ugh. It hurts me pretty bad. So i think my walking the pasture is good for me....and my dog! I made a BAD dinner tonight. I think everything was just dry.
-
well for lunch i at a salad
supper i fixed some little eye of round with some gravy, potatoes, and brocili/cheese.
Farel, you cook some yummy meals!!!!
I made 95% lean meatballs with gravy, mashed potatoes and peas. I used the really lean meat and made as fat free as you can get them potatoes without telling my husband.........well he asked me what I did different to my meatball and said my potatoes were just off!!!! There is no fooling him. Darn it!!!!!
I have a feeling that I am not going to loose any weight this week. I may even gain. I just feel bloated.

mht well thanks, my food is edible. i am still learning. i like those tast of home books. i just bought a taste of home ground meat book i haven't made anything from there yet. then i have a taste of home healthy cooking that i have cooked from there and i like it.
-
Well, I don't know if I'm going to loose any this week. I can't stay on the meal plan that I've been doing. Yesterday afternoon I almost passed out, and it is my body telling me that I need to start putting carbs back into my diet. I'll have to see what happens...
-
Well yesterday I did really good. Today I am on a great start. I know I will not be that good this weekend. It is going to be a hard weekend for me mentally and emotionally because it will be a year since my dad passed away and my week has been rough. My mom and sister and her family are coming down tonight and we are all going to stay together. I am going to try to stay busy so I dont start thinking or want anything to eat.
-
UGH!!!! DAY THREE!!!
So I've been going through a liquid detox for the last two days. Tonight it comes to an end....THANK THE LORD!!! Of course I am asked to do this detox very close to my friendly visit, and so I have done nothing but STARVE for the last two days. I've also been really irritable. I was told that I would really feel the detox. It would almost be like having the flu....nope. Felt nothing but extreme hunger and hunger headaches. I did however break my plateau...for now atleast. I'll see how long it lasts.
-
FlyinH wow i seriously don't think i could do that detox... i have to keep my strength up for these twins and if i do that i would litterly pass out!
i ate a special k meal bar this morning because i don't have any milk for my special k cereal. i almost at all the bar but couldn't eat the last bite. i drank some orange juice so i can take my bp/cholestrol meds.
got a doctors appointment for 1:30 so i may try to eat me subway.
-
I didn't do so good the last 2 days, but I'm getting back on track today. Now hopefully I can keep it that way. lol
-
well so far i haven't lost any this week...
-
I'm sure I haven't either. sigh
-
Well, I talked to my boss, and she finally said I could eat a banana.....that was the BEST banana I've ever had!
-
HAHAHA, I bet it was!
-
Man, I could not do that detox!! However, when I eat, I am not as starved as I was. I think my stomach is shrinking....well not my belly but my stomach. I am fixing to go and clean stalls and perhaps take a walk. I am doing my best to study too...
-
so today (friday) for breakfast i ate a special k meal bar w/orange juice..i couldn't eat the last bite.
had my doctors appointment today that went good. so after that i was soooo hungry so i couldn't help myself i ate a meatball subway. for supper i ate a salad.
-
well i did good for breakfast with my special k meal bar... but for lunch i was bad i had a macdonalds cheese burger with small fries and a coke (but only drank half of it) then for supper i picked some crawfish up.
-
Muddd Bugggss Yummy!!!
-
they were good but not great...drinking me a special k protein water for my breakfast this morning. i don't think i have lost any more weight from last week. tomorrow weigh in.
-

LOL...that's funny.I lost two pounds this week.

URGGGGGGG......I only lost one pound. I worked out 6 days and only did bad with one cookie and two small cinnimon rolls. I did eat what I cooked for my family, but I ate pretty small portion sizes. Dang it!!!
I hope you all did better than me.......although I better be greatful that it was a loss and not a gain.
Cowgirldiva, I want to get into a swimsuit also. I want to take my kids swimming at the park this summer with my mother-in-law, who always lets me know what all my flaws are!!!! I made it back into my thong undies about two weeks ago and that was pretty exciting, so I will be rooting for you and your goals as I have the same ones!!!!

great job whoo hoo!!! I'm kind of stuck here with 5 pounds to lose, I lost most of my weight on the last challenge, so need to jump start my rear!
-
WooHoo!!! KMC called me with the good news!!! I have been around the world today and just now am able to check in. Today has been a really good day......I am fortunate enough to win the incentive for this month, along with $75 to go towards my navicular mare's expensive shoeing or her expensive supplements and I was asked today at my Jazzercise class if I would like to become an instructor!! God is good!!!!
How about we all post what we have done so far this month to help us loose weight? I will post what I do when my husband gets home to help me control my unruly boys!!!
Congrats everyone!!!
-
Congrats!! Now my update for today is gain...172. So Punkin, I know I did not win anything....Seems I am starving because we still have no power and I cant cook.......I have had just a snack special K bar and that is it....Ugh. To show a gain on an empty stomach!!
-
Gabe you and I weigh close to the same thing. I am at 170 and want to be 165 grrr
-
Threewishes, I was 140 6 months ago.....Ugh. I miss being 130!! But I really dont have a choice right now. The medication I am on really puts the pounds on. However I must say that my buttocks are still firm.....muscle weighs more than fat!! I think my boobs weigh about 50 pounds too LOL.
-
girl you ain't right lol
-
mht and I were talking about the Challenge and since we have so many people in it this time and so many extra prizes maybe we should do 1st -3rd or something like that. I am not just saying that since is was 2nd. just my opinion.
-
geeze i gained 3lbs >:( i am at 156 i want to weigh 130/135..hummm not so easy that is for sure. i guess i am lucky i have lost 7lbs.
-
I do not really want to lose weight anymore, I would like to tone what I have. I have actually gained a pound over my starting weight, but I have done the ab roller machine 20 times every night along with 20 sit ups. Even got hubby involved.
Congrats MHT!!!

There will be prizes at the finale for more than just the person who wins, but the person who wins will in fact receive the largest prize package. It is my goal to reward effort, and so there will be prizes for several folks who make it to the end . . . however it is a challenge. The person who works the hardest or smartest will reap the largest reward.
In terms of the cash prize at the end and the monthly incentive cash, because I have already taken money from people with the understanding that it is a winner take all pot - I can not change that at this point.
-
alright this morning i had special k cereal..
but for lunch my nerves were on end the twins have been cranky today and i needed food! so i fixed me some macoroni and cheese. when i get stressed out or kinda depressed i need food!
-
You, my sweet little raiser of all things twin, have just identified a trigger in your relationship with food.
You know that stress, or emotions trigger you to eat . . . and perhaps eat things that aren't as good for you as to you.
Knowing that, you've got to figure out another stress response.
Something that makes you feel better, but doesn't make you feel bloated later.

well what releaves my stress is riding but i can't just go outside and ride... too bad i don't like to clean because i could clean away when i am stressed but ummm nah...i will do dishes later...so idk..i think when the twins wake up from their nap i will bring them outside to play.
-
Farel.....I get you on not being able to just go out and ride to relieve stress. My two boys (2 and 9 months) were really fussy today and oh the weather was so perfect, but I could not get out to ride. One day our kids will be old enough to go ride with us, without us just having to hand walk them or have them in the saddle with us!!!! Get your ab lounger out and try working out when you get stressed. That has really helped me. I give my two year old one of my tubes and he trys to work out with me while I let my 9 month old crawl all around us. I hope you find something to help you out!!!

thanks mht for the advice... you know i just don't know anymore :( after the twins woke up from their nap i went outside with them and all they wanted to do is keep coming in the house. so i don't know what was up with them today. they really didn't want to take a nap today and they really didn't want to go to bed tonight. all i know is that i wanted to just cry today. i did ride my 4 year old filly for 30 minutes tonight. supper sucked. i thought i could cook round steak in our george foreman and of course they were tough to eat but hubby ate them anyways. then had colliflower/brocoli and deviled eggs.
-
Girls!!!!! I found this on page 4. My week has been good. Some nice lady brought cookies info our office yesterday morning. I finally ate one but they were hard. yuck.
-
Oops, I'll try not to let that happen again!! haha! ;)
-
i have ridden everyday except i won't ride today and tomorrow we have nbha show. eating hasn't been great for me but i haven't pigged out either. so who knows. keeping up with this weight loss is frustrating.
-
Yes, it is, I have been doing pretty good sticking to my diet... so far, for 3 weeks now!
-
Well, I am back to 172....but you know what? I know why!! I am sitting here on ebarrel!!! LOL Its getting hot out, so I bet I will start melting soon. I know that I drank a LOT of water yesterday and rode two horses. I was keeping the water hose very close. I am enjoying cleaning the house too. Its very refreshing! Anyhow, gotta get off here!
-
Well I haven't been great this week. It was my birthday on tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, so we had fajitas and margaritas....and we've been trying to finish off the fajitas since then....so I'm sure my weigh in won't be great at all.
-
Well I did kinda bad Monday and Tuesday, then I cleaned up my act Wednesday and Thursday. BUT.....Luke spilled milk all over my drivers seat this morning and I have cloth seats so I took it to be cleaned and while we waited 2 hours the boys and I went to Taco Bell next door. Why did there have to be a Taco Bell or a McDonald's sooooo close to the car wash????? I only ate two chicken soft tacos though and I did NOT help Luke with his taco!!!! Hopefully all the freaking working out I am doing to get ready for my Jazzercise Instructor Movement Screening next Saturday will help my weigh in on Monday. Plus like everyone else is saying I am sweating buckets when I have gone out and rode. I am down to my last 10 or 12 pounds and I have been told that is the hardest and slowest to loose, so I am just hopeing for atleast a pound a week.
Well good luck to all of you over the weekend!!!!!
-
yeah weigh in monday already :( i am down to 153 but not sure if that will hold over the weekend. gotta a barrel race tomorrow and not sure what i am doing sunday so we shall see.
-
well tomorrow is weigh in :(
-
No change for me this week... sigh, guess I better step it up and quit straying away from my diet.
-
I have avoided going to the scale all morning. I had 2, count them....2 pieces of cheesecake yesterday at lunch. What was I thinking????????????????? When I weighed in Saturday morning at Jazzercise the results were 4 lbs lost, but my scale at home always has me about 2 lbs heavier. AND I eat worse on the weekends than I do during the week. We will see. I am heading that way and biting my nails all the way!!!
-
I have had these jeans i bought...a couple weeks ago...now i have got into them.

-
Well stayed the same this week. I to need to step it up.
-
so last week i gained 3lbs this week i lost 2lbs. my weight goes up down up down. yeah i do good during the week and the weekends are very hard.
-

Thats me to, because I eat more with my family, so I don't eat like I should.
-
Hey! I almost forgot. We get to find out what our next incentive prize is today!!!!! Atleast I think we do.
-
Well, I pigged out on Saturday......Sortof. I haven't had an adult beverage in MONTHS, and drank a few on Saturday.
I did however contract a flu bug yesterday, so I have lost a pound.........
142 is my weight this morning. I have been staying at 143 for the last two weeks, but my jeans are getting really baggy, and even my Dad has said something about it. That means the size reduction is noticeable. Mom says I'm putting on muscle. I don't know. I just want to lose a bit more. For some reason, that stupid number drives me.
-
Well, I did horrible this week. I've been losing a little each week, but this last week, ugh! I was gone every night from my house and found myself eating whatever I could get my hands on or being starved by the time I got home. Then I realized I ran out of salad stuff. Just went downhill from there. Then Friday we had a baby shower - lasagna and cake. I ate a small portion, but still. However, we had a play day on Saturday. All three of my girls rode. Two did lead line and one rode on her own. So I got a heck of a workout b/c I was doing the leading, 2 kids, 3 mounted events each. My middle girl got first leadline barrels which translates to mommy got first. Hopefully I'll do better this week.
-
i not only had adult beverages friday nite but pizza on mothers day...ughhhhhhhh
-
I did not have time to step on the scale this morning. I had to be at work at 7am which means leaving at 6 and getting up at 5. I have been out on the golf course for over 8 hours. I will check it in the morning and let yall know.

That is awesome that your jeans are baggy. When I weighed in Saturday morning at Jazzercise I told myself I did not give a hoot what the scale said, because I went down another size in my shorts and pants. But I also know what it is like to get stuck at a #. I was stuck at 146 for 3 or 4 weeks. Once I broke my plateau I have been dropping atleast 1 or 2 pounds a week and I am at 136 now. So hang in there.

Shoot girl....I bet you sweat off a few pounds being outside in the heat all day!!!!
-
well shoot... i made spaghetti tonight and i couldn't help myself. i have been wanting spaghetti for a while now so i decided to make some tonight. and for my first time cooking a spaghetti (tomato, tomato paste, tomato's with basil, garlic and oragano) it was pretty good. nothing like my dads but it will do for now. so i am sure i just put on the two pounds that i lost. i sure could have eaten some garlic bread too.
-
Thanks mht. I'm trying to hang in there. It's frustrating, but I like that my clothes are getting bigger, so that keeps me going on. If I can just get over this flu bug quickly I'll be happy.
-
I just have the blues today...the Schwan truck came to my place today...I bought 46 dollars worth...and I bought some icecream bars...I hate one...but i was good all day ...and went for an hour walk today.
-
awww the Swan Man, i am glad i live in the boonies because if we would have one come over here i would definetly spend too much money.
-
Um I forgot to post the update yesterday.
Please hold.
I will post.
Ve
-
thanks Ve i have been wondering..
-
hey Ve guess you are busy just wondering about the winners for this week.
-
I am having haides getting the board uploaded . . . and I've been swamped here at work.
BUT . . .
I can tell you who is leading this week!
MHT is leading us all with 6.85% lost
KMC is in a close second place with 6.14% lost
and
StacieLeighMay is in third with 5.65% lost!!
I will upload the board tomorrow with everyone else's placing. I can't get my system to do much right now!
-
(http://www.imageuploadsite.com/images/kc42y0dv559ghe3eutx.jpg)
HERE IT IS!!
Phew didn't think I'd get it done today with all my computer issues.
-
yeah i have mainly lost inches i think. my hubby bought me a cowhide belt for Christmas a size large and i am at the last hole. it use to be in the middle of the holes now he needs to punch some holes in there so i can tighten up my belt so my pants won't fall down. my weight has fluctuated but i think i have lost inches. i bought a size 10 in jeans a few weeks ago and now those are baggy on me.
-
Way to go MHT! Great job ladies! Keep it up!
-
That is great Farel , keep up the good work ! I want to get rid of the belly fat . So when I ride my belly does not jiggle !!!!!!!!!!
well i have that twin skin as they call it after having twins/multiples and it will never go away. it is gross, even if i would do my ab lounger yes it would help but it won't go away so if ever i would have the money i want a tummy tuck done.
-
Great job ladies!!!! How exciting that you girls are having to tighten up those belts. I have the opposite problem. I have gone down to an 8 in my pants/shorts, but not always in my waist. Man my belly just will not give. My hips and thighs are shrinking enough to fit into smaller pants/shorts, but my tummy is keeping me in the 8's. So my waist area is tight and the rest is baggy and falling off of me. BUT do not get me wrong I am EXTREMELY EXTREMELY HAPPY with the progress I am making.....as should all of you!!!!!!
Hey Punkin.......is there any chance you could tell us what the fabulous incentive prize will be for this month? I like to have something in my sights to work towards!!!!! If not I'm sure I will survive.
-
i am frustrated with my body right now. with it flucuating. this weekend is going to be hard because i am going to my sister n laws house friday night and won't be getting home til Sunday night. i will try to eat the best i can.

Good luck with your weekend Farel. I am sorry you are feeling so down about your body right now, but use your feelings for the good and do something about it. I know easier said then done, but I wish you the best and I will be thinking about you.
-
thanks mht....
for breakfast i wasn't hungry (was cramping >:( ) for lunch i had a salad. then for supper i cooked a goulash.

How do you make your goulash...I do not have a good recipe.
well i use 2 lbs lean ground meat (you can use whatever, ground chicken, ground turkey) brown your meat, season your meat, i put onions, cut up some potatoes (i cut 6 potatoes up) after my meat is done cooking i add my cream of mushroom soup (i added three cans). you have to becareful of the bottom not to burn. you have to keep stirring and watching it. then you add your potatoes. you probably have to add some more seasoning because of the potatoes. i cooked rice too and we put it over rice. but alot of times we just eat it like that without rice. and i had peas for vegatables.
-
Thanks...Have you ever made potato soup...peel your potatoes and cut up some onions...till your potatoes are done...drain them...put back on the stove...add a can of evaporated milk..and a stick of butter...then add a can of cream style corn...salt and pepper to taste.

-
Is everybody ready to weigh in tomorrow? How'd you all do for the week? I kinda slacked because I forgot to buy food for me to eat. oops. Oh well hopefully I can do better this week.
-
I walked everyday this week.
-
i don't think i did that great last week...when i step on that scale tomorrow morning i will know! gotta go get an MRI tomorrow afternoon of my lower lumber.
-
I did really well last week. I ate everything my family ate, but in much smaller portions on a salad plate. I also worked out pretty hard everyday except yesterday. I relaxed!!!! It all paid off when I stepped on the scale this morning. I am down 3 more pounds. Yeah!!!!! I hope you all did fabulous!!! I cannot wait to see.
-
I actually didin't do as bad as I thought. Another 5 pounds lost. So I've lost 10 so far. I didn't lose any last week so this is good!
-
i didn't do too bad either down 2lbs... i worked my tail off saturday at our play day show. and had our nbha show yesterday.
-
oh man i thought we would have had updates today, oh well i guess tomorrow...
-
oh holy cow i have been gone all day long today...
-
just read the thread, many prayers for those people that lost their beloved animals..
-
oh man i did bad last night i ate pizza! then pizza again for lunch today. i am sooooo frickn tired. not really sure what we are eating tonight.
-

Girl, I bet you do some sweating in them!! I have not tried them, but I have often thought about it. Especially when I see the baseball players wearing the jacket version.

Farel, I am not doing so hot either. I haven't had a hamburger since the challenge started, and I had one yesterday. I have also had 2 brownies today. Man I am going to have to put the pan of brownies on the top top shelf. Maybe out of sight out of mind!!! I am going to kill my husband when he gets home for talking me into making them for him.

Now if I could just catch up with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place girls from Jazzercise. I have been sitting in 4th for a few weeks now.
-
Are we checkin' in today, or tomorrow 'cuz of the holiday?
-
I wanted to know that to.
-
Ugh. I want off these meds! I am HUGE!
-
ok so over the weekend had a steak and potato salad saturday night while watching the UFC fight on pay per view, then ate some more left overs sunday, then today at brisket, potato salad, and dirty rice. i couldn't help myself on the brisket omg it was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
153 gained a pound from last week :(
i did come home this afternoon and cleaned a stall, i have two more to clean.
-
No change for me, which I consider a God send. I ate really bad.....to the point I am tired of all the crap I ate and how bad it has made me feel. Ugh!!!!
-
No change for me either, adn I thought I did pretty good this week. bummer
-
No change for me either. ::) Darn Memorial Day Weekend hamburgers. Oh, but it was good!
-
ok so i just pushed mowed for an hour and 15minutes today. from noon til 1:15pm. wasn't very hard beings our grass is thin. but i pushed infront of our housetrailer and by the swing set and behind the house trailer and by the time i was almost done the push mower was running out of gas. so i quit for the day.
-
Well I just walked out in the pasture and back..........that is prolly about all I am going to do today.
-
oh i promise you i am not doing anything else today. i have a confirmation to go to tonight so after i eat my lettuce and cucumber salad i have to go get the twins from my mom and get things ready to leave around 5 to head to sulphur.
-
Well i just looked at the radar and we are fixing to get slammed with storms. So looks like I have permission to lay down on the couch and rest.
-
yep while driving to sulphur we got slammed too rain, thunder and lightening... got home tonight and it barely rained at our place.
-
bumping....
so i am not doing good. i ate mexican food last night w/chips and dip (i go hog wild over chips and dip it is my favorite!)
-
I've been forgetting to check in for the past 2 weeks now. I'm down to 141. Only 16 more pounds to go.
-
Ugh. I just ate lasagna and next...cake. I have to eat it. My body feels starved when I dont satisfy a craving for more than a month.....
-
my stomach seems starved too lately! i ate chicken gravy tonight w/corn and some brocili. then ate some watermelon (wasn't that great) i have a headache and aggravated at hubby. oh yeah while i was cooking tonight i ate some chips and some dip. >:(
-
so i have been off the wagon. today i had a hot dog w/chips and dip and a coke. tonight i am putting a frozen pizza in the oven. not doing so well on this diet. i am in the middle of the pack so it is making it hard to keep it up. i would love to loose at least 10 more pounds but it is getting really hard.
-
Well Farel I have not lost one single pound.
-
don't get me wrong i have lost some because my large belt that my hubby bought me for christmas he had to burn like three more holes in it for it too fit. but as of right now i haven't lost anymore. which i haven't been able to ride either like i want too! i did ride tonight.

Me too I think 10 more pounds would be good. That would put me at 120. I'm 5'1 so I shold actually ba quite a bit lighter, but I will be happy witht that! I realy need to walk or go for a bike ride.
-
Howd everybody do this week? No change for me again... sigh
-
i am up 3lbs (155) >:( getting hard for me to stay on the wagon.
-
Well I am there with you Farel. Daughter graduated this Friday and we had her a party on Saturday and so I am up to 210!! UUUGGGHHH!!!!
-
Oh man, come on you guys can do it! I am one of the worst when it comes to food, and I'm still barely hanging on, by the skin of my teeth!
-
well my dad bbqed last night...been feeling like crap i am in the middle of the pack .
-
WHERE IS EVERYONE? ARE YOU ALL GIVING UP OR WHAT???? COME ON LADIES!!!!!! WE STILL HAVE WHAT A MONTH AND A HALF. PLENTY OF TIME TO DO IT!!!! THIS PAGE KEEPS GETTING FURTHER AND FURTHER DOWN THE LIST AND I HAVE NOT SEEN BUT A FEW PEOPLE CHECKING IN.
Well I gained 1 lb.. I was at my in-laws all week and weekend and it was hard to eat right and I did not get to exercise while I was there. I am back at it today though!!!!! I am bravely wearing a bathing suit while I go play in the sprinkler with the boys. Hopefully I do not offend the cute little skinny couple next door!!!!! I am sure the cows are not going to care!!!!
-
Hey at least you are brave enought ot put on a swim suit! I sure wouldn't be caught dead!
-
Hey at least you are brave enought ot put on a swim suit! I sure wouldn't be caught dead!

mht i am happy you can wear a swim suit that is great!
sadly i have no will power right now....
-
i'm still in!!! do we have an update from last weeks weigh-in?
-
Not that I know of and haven't heard anything from Ve lately. Hope everything is going okay.
-
WELL, I had a bad week. I just can't seem to get things going. Maybe it will be better this week. So put me as staying the same.
-
I'm down 1 pound. I've been stalled for a bit, but hopefully am starting to pick back up. Crazy weeks haven't made it any easier. But I went grocery shopping so that should help. I've also been riding more.
-
I gained 1.5 lbs this week. I was on vaca and had a few too many Bud Lights!!!
-
i hope Ve is ok. no update from last week.

Oh Farel.....I did not say I looked good. I look all right standing, but boy oh boy when I sit or bend it all goes to *%*%!!! My boys have left me with some really nice sagging skin!! I live in the middle of a cow pasture with a pecan orchard as my neighbor. Well unfortunetly the orchard's son just moved into the shack there with his really cute skinny young 20 something girlfriend. I decided today that it was their fault for moving in next to me and out I went!!!! Well I hid behing a tree or down beside the wagon everytime they went by. HeHeHe!!!! So much for my bravery!!!

MHT I'll be pm-ing you here in a minute . . .
-
Well my weight is the same...nothing has changed. I dont know why I am even playing??????
-
I just saw that last statement.......... to be honest Ve, my scale said I weighed less but I was in disbelief that I lost that much in a week, so I wanted to make sure it stayed off this week too... Does that make sense? I hate disappointment if I gain any back.... makes me depressed. But my son noticed last nite that he thougth I looked like I had lost some weight, so that makes me feel better.
-
Well, I am with you Rachel, I am still at the same weight. Nothing seems to move. Oh well, tomorrow is my last day at work, and I have a ton of things to do at the house, including moving flower beds, riding, cleaning the guest bedroom so that a guest can actually stay there, riding, cleaning my barn and reorganizing my closets, riding, getting rid of some barn cats, riding. Oh did I mention that I planned to do some riding. Then I think maybe sometime next week, I will go down to the workforce and see what they can do for me.
-
Well, my scale is broken. Each time I step on it is says LO. Maybe it needs a new battery?
-
nope . . . that means your weight is so "LO" that it can't even register it.
-
Me and my husband ...ate out twice yesterday...I have to be, good girl today....I hope house cleaning works...I did that...all day long....and I walk twice day.
-
nope . . . that means your weight is so "LO" that it can't even register it.
Boy I wish that were the case!!! What does "LO" equate to in lbs??
-
And here we go!!

Girls I forgot to weigh this morning. Was in such a hurry because I was running late. Had to feed the 2 horses at the house and feed the 4 dogs and let them out. BUT I know that it would not be good. I was very bad this week. So put me as sucking this week. I need help!! I just cant get it under control. :'( :'( :'(

I forgot to weight in yesterday, so I just jumped on the scale......no change again. What is up with that? I did get measured yesterday and I have lost 15 1/2 inches since March 15th. That is pretty cool. Now I just need to get out of this funky plateau I am on. Crud...I may need to add some veggies to my diet. YUCK!!!!! I may try juicing them and see how it goes.
Congrats to all the losers this week!!!!
-
well put me in the wagon ruts dragging sooo far behind!!!
I have not been able to get all my addictions under control at the same time lol
-
I have been walking twice a day...at one hour, at time.
-
I measured yesterday n since Jan I have lost a total of 44.5 inches total body. I actually hAd to by a pair of slim fit Tulsa jeans. I have never worn a slim fit. Just wish the scales would show it also. But shrinking is shrinking. Lol
-
loretta u have done well!! to heck with what the dang scale says...its only a number...i go by the way my clothes fit anyway!
-
I don't think the scale is always an acurate reflection of how someone looks....JMO
-
Thanks
-
Tomorrow is the day......YEAH my scale has moved finally!!!!! I have been stuck for 3 or 4 weeks. Hopefully the bacon, eggs, toast, roast, cookies, ice cream, spaghetti and more ice cream that I have eaten just today have not ruined it for me. I guess we will see what happens in the morning!!!!
-
This weekend was hard on me to...plus being depressed...waiting on tomorrow to check my weight.
-
No change for me this week, I haven't stuck to my diet at all this week.

-
Holy Cow.....this is on the 5th page. How did everyone do this week? I stayed the exact same. I am extremely okay with that since I went to my family reunion and the only thing I ate ALL DAY LONG was dessert!!!! I guess I will PM Ve and check in.

Congrats to you too, and too all of us that have made this journey fun, exciting, and successful.
You know it was only because of this challenge that I have lost the weight. It's been 4.5 years since I had my son and I just never got back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I've been telling myself that for me and my horses I've needed to lose some weight, but just never did. I always found an excuse. I sat and watched as everyone posted about the first challenge, and decided when the second one came around that hey, if I put my mind to it, I can do it. I don't post much on here, but wanted to say thanks to everyone, reading all the positive and supporting posts on this thread has really helped in those times that I wanted to give up.
To date have lost 13 lbs. I am now 1 lb lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight, and I know that if I really put my mind to it I can reach my goal weight by the end of the month. And if for some reason I don't, I am very happy with what I lost so far.
-
So do we weight in Monday or Tuesday, which is the last day of the contest? You know what....I bet if I go to the website Ve made I will answer my own question!!!
-
OHHHHHHHH.....I just rec'd my incentive prize in the mail for May from HotNColdWesternWear and they are fabulous. I paid a little extra and got a pair of BLING BLING flip flops. Wow my feet are looking good!!! Thanks caughtyawl and HotNColdWesternWear!!!!!
-

-
well congrats to those that have reached their goals i on the other hand is n a slump not sure how much i weigh i am not home yet i am scard to get on the scale beings on our trip i ate so much
-
well congrats to those that have reached their goals i on the other hand is n a slump not sure how much i weigh i am not home yet i am scard to get on the scale beings on our trip i ate so much
Hey Farel.....I do not know if this will help or not but..... I do not have any self control when it comes to not eating foods and I love fast food so what I did was not eat as much. So I still ate everything just not in the large helpings I was accustomed to. I also had to make time to workout since I'm not much into eating healthy. I'm sorry you are in a slump.....here's wishing you better times!!!!
-
thanks now that i am home i can monitor my intake and drink more water while i was n tennessee i barely drank water
-
Hey Y'all.
I have been sick with a capital S-I-C-K.
I will get a leader board out today of what I have so far . . . and then our final way in is this coming week.
The challenge will officially end at 2 PM on Tusday 06/30/09.
I MUST have your final weight before 2PM on Tuesday.
I will announce the overall winner and final incentive prize winner on Wednesday 07/01/09!!
If you have any questions, please post them here.
PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FINAL WEIGHT - not pounds lost VIA PM for the final weigh in.
-
Thanks Punkin, hope you are feeling better.
-
(http://www.imageuploadsite.com/images/58dnobjwpqrhw5laexq.jpg)
And there is our Leader Board!
Everybody has got to join me in a hearty WHOO HOO!! for MHT!
Seriously, she is down 10.96% of her starting weight and she just keeps on plugging away at it!
In second is GoBabyBo with 7.86%!
and our third place finisher this month is CowboyUpDude with 7.62%!
What is interesting is that there is only .24% between our second place challenger and third, and then again only .91% between 2nd and 4th . . .
That would could shape up to be a race . . . especially when you consider that there are prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers . . .
Good luck to you all and congratulations to those of you doing so well!
-
good job girls... I just weighed and i am153 for this week

Yes, I suppose, then are we going to do another Slimmer In The Saddle challenge?

I'm not sure...I think it would be a good idea though. I still have more that I want to loose.
-
I'm not sure...I think it would be a good idea though. I still have more that I want to loose.
Me too, and I probably wouldn't have done this well, if it hadn't been for everybody on here!
-
i didn't weigh today, doesn't matter because i am in the middle of the pack. i know i didn't loose anymore weight. i am assuming i am holding at 153lbs. i am at a standstill :( oh well i am happy at least i lost some. not sure if i will do another challenge
-
Well not eating cake on my b-day only granted me one pound.....but that also means only 4 more to go!!!!
I lost a total of 17 lbs (total of 39 lbs) and 3 or 4 dress sizes while doing this challenge!!!
Congrats to everyone who lost weight. I enjoyed being in this challenge with all of you. Rhonda
-
I think I lost about 9-10 pounds. I made down to 130. I need to keep losing though.
-
Good Morning Ladies!!
It's time for our final weigh in!!
Remember, I need your final WEIGHT. Please do not send me the number of pounds you lost.
Because there is money and prizes involved, I need to be sure that I get hard numbers to make sure that the person who wins is correct.
Please PM your final weight by or before 2PM!
I MUST get your weight by 2PM!!
I am excited ladies!!
Good luck to you all!
-
well i didn't weigh myself yesterday i was thinking i was still at 153 but got on the scale this morning and i am down to 151. i have no clue what my weight was when i started but i know my pants dont fit me anymore they are all baggy and falling off. i need to go shopping but don't have the extra money so i will have to keep wearing baggy pants.
congrats to everyone that has lost weight. i know it was hard for me too loose what i lost i still have a long ways to go. i would like to get to 135lbs but ummm not sure if i will make it. i am just happy of what i have lost.
-
Well I lost a total of 14.8 lbs. I am 1.4 lbs away from my goal weight for this challenge. I'm VERY happy with what I lost. I would definitely do another challenge. Even though I only need to lose a little over 1 lb to be at my challenge goal weight, I need to lose about another 6 lbs to be at my final goal weight.
Congrats to everyone that was successful on this challenge!!!
-
Well I think that we all did very good with this challenge. And if we do have another challenge I would be happy to participate.
-
That's awesome! Way to go!

Stacie was a bit of a sleeper who came up at the end to get us.
With her Mono, dog bites and general chaos she has been unable to update her weight each week.
So she hasn't appeared to make progress. She has checked in with me faithfully, and apparently she stayed faithful to her plan as well!!
Stacie lost 19.4 Pounds, for a total percentage of weight loss of 11.66%!
She literally squeeked past MHT to win the challenge by .02%.
MHT is in second place with 11.64% weight lost, for a total of 17 pounds!!
Cowboy Up Dude rounds out our top three with 9.05% weight lost, for 19 pounds!!
WOW LADIES - Between the three of you you have lost 55.4 pounds!!

congrats to the winners!
