I don't know how to get pics off of my phone either, but I think it's because I don't have the right adapter.
Well my weight keeps bouncing to 161-162 at the moment. On Sat. I stepped on the scale twice and it read 158! Then, I came out and told dh - because that would've been a big weight loss drop for me. And then all these thoughts started running through my head. So I went back in and re-weighed and it was at 161. So all in the process of 5 min. I gained 3 lbs! LOL I don't know why it showed the low number - and twice even! But, I'm more comfortable with the higher one because I never drop weight like that.
Off to bed... have a great weekend if I don't get back in to say so later!

SweatPea- I think I stopped in your diary at some point to congratulate you on your into the 150s success. Fantastic job!
Angel- Long time no see. How are weightloss things going? I should plow thru the threads and dig up your diary.
Updates: So here I am two weeks later and I'm only to 180. I am disappointed in this and obviously it's my fault. My calculations must be off somewhere. I'm afraid that since my cals are based on me weighing 195, that now I might need to readjust. But given the formulas it shouldn't make too much of a difference. Either way I refuse to eat less which means that I need to work harder. I ate horribly yesterday and that was the first time in awhile. Cookies, a quaesadilla, a hot dog (why did I even eat that?), popcorn chicken (which was actually some sort of "healthy" stuff and only had 2g of fat per 3oz serving, no sat fat), and then I made up for that with some homemade baked mac and cheese, and some pillsbury cinnamon rolls. I've been hungry for it for awhile and finally just decided to make it and get it over with yesterday. It was delicious and I ate too much today it still makes me happy. It will probably be another three months until I make that again. So yesterday I'd say my cals had to be over 3000 which is the first day in awhile where I just flat out ate what I pleased. Luckily I say that 2400 cals is about maintenance so yes, I did go over cals yesterday, but it could have been worse. And I was eating on the lower side of cals during the week (1500-1600 instead of 1900) just because I didn't feel like cooking. I had myself stressed out all week because I wanted to get into the 170s and I was finding it hard to be satisfied with what I was eating when I wasn't seeing any differences on the scale or otherwise. BUT I've barely "gone" in the last two weeks and I don't know why. I'm keeping my fiber in check and eating a good amount of protein and I don't have irregularity problems unless there's an outside influence like meds, but I am stumped. I'm hoping that things will get sorted out and that may account for some weight. That might sounds silly but when you've been eating nearly 2000 cals a day for 2 weeks and barely anything is coming out... um, it's gotta be in there.
At the moment I'm pumped to get to the gym today. Hopefully this lasts until I actually get there. I'm hoping to do the program my trainer has for me this week and then do kickboxing, and maybe some running if I've got the energy. I'm cutting back on cals today because of yesterday so I'm hoping I've got the energy for class. I showed up for KBxing on Friday for the 6:30 class and I was the only one who showed up! Which meant that I was about to get my ass kicked since the instructor only had me to watch! It was a great workout but I was dead afterward. This is a good thing. Also it was nice to basically get one hour of free personal training. He actually offered to do 30 minutes of just cardio, no bag work, so that it would be just as good as a whole hour but I declined on the account that my push ups suck, crunches are pretty pointless and I'm finally get my left leg roundhouse kicks down. And my right leg is getting much higher... I can get my shin to about shoulder level... say five feet off the ground. I made a goal to at least be 174 by month's end and I still have three weeks to accomplish a six pound loss. Here goes nothing!
Friday, Jeff and I went to Maggiano's for dinner. We'd been once before and I didn't like it but I wanted to try it again. We got this cute little booth and they had a live musician and it was really romantic. AND THEN!!! Jeff had flowers delivered to our table
I kissed him so much that I'm pretty sure his lips and cheek were now protected from the sun by the chapstick I was wearing. I'm surprised no one threw bread at me and told us to get a room.
The next few weeks are going to be a little busy. I'm very serious about being in full blast workout mode and I need to work out how that's going to happen. Jeff's mom comes into town on Thursday and I haven't met her yet so I guess that's when we'll do that and then we're suppose to go out to dinner. And Jeff has the weekend planned and apparently I am part of the weekend with them although I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. And how much time his mom wants to have me around when she's here to see him. Which I take no offense to because she doesn't get to spend much time with him. Then next weekend, Jeff's best friend and his girlfriend are coming to visit. I'm looking forward to this. I think it's been about a year since we've seen them. It's lots of fun to hang out with them. We're going to a Halloween party and I think I"m going to be a horny devil
We got tickets to go see the space shuttle launch in November and then hopefully we're going to Disney because while I really hate commercialism, I LOVE that place. And I think it's fun and romantic.

Warm hearted! Flowers! sigh 
Makes me smile--glad you kissed the hell out of him!
Perhaps the meds are screwing with your weight loss that's supposed to be happening--not to mention you just might be bloated from the 3000 calorie day--so your real weight might be lower Your future plans sound fun, hope all goes well with Jeff's mom!

It's hard to get just the right formula isn't it?
I think your Jeff is a sweetheart! I bet you gave him more than kisses.

Meeting the momma
I'm making crème brûlée tonight as an after dinner treat. I'm still trying to figure out how food and a marg from our favorite restaurant plus creme brulee are going to fit into my diet this week but I figure I'll just be good for the rest of the week and not worry about it.

Sometimes he is incredibly romantic and his timing was perfect. I was already in such a good mood and then that happened and I shocked. He's a cutie.
I think there was a misunderstanding about the whole meds thing. I'm not on any which is another reason I was perplexed about er, things. Perhaps I was bloated by that day of large eating, not to mention the weight of the food in my tummy. I've been working hard this week to counter act that day. I'm just so glad things like that only happen once in awhile because if not I'd be in very big trouble.
SweatPea said:
The formula is tricky. Leigh Peele has a good article on how to figure out what your maintenance is but I haven't done it just because when you're weight changes so does maintenance and I thought efforts would be futile but maybe not.
SweatPea said:
Haha... I didn't really get a chance. He attacked me like an animal before I could put the moves on him. When you're in love, life is great. And when you're in love and have amazing sexual chemistry with that person, well then there is very little complain about. :::very satisfied goddess:::
My trainer canceled today and I was sort of glad. I think I overdid it on Monday when I was trying to makeup for the weekend and ended up not feeling very well yesterday. I just made the decision to start fresh this morning and forget about those cals because I don't want to do even more damage by compromising my health. I am still going to kbxing tonight. I wasn't going to. I was going to go home and get stuff done and maybe get to bed early but with tomorrow night's agenda and not being able to go to the gym I think it's best to stick it out through tonight, and rest tomorrow. Hopefully this week shakes at least a pound. Measurements are still the same as last week.

Does Leigh Peele have a website to go to or is this an article in a magazine?

Leigh has a website. She is a member here but hasn't been on in quite awhile. I also think someone from this board used her as a personal trainer with much success. I don't think I can say enough about her... she's really spectacular. Her website is below is the article (in 3 parts) pertaining to what I was talking about in my last post. They were deep in archives but I found 'em no problem
