Thanks ladies, you are too kind.
My goal for the week was to get down to 150, I did and am getting my hair done today, yeah! My new goal is to truly get to where I was on 2/1 (supposedly), by months end, how sad is that? The 2/1 was false low weight, I think it should have been 149 as it was every other day before and after, then a day later it was TOM, after which I was back to 150 then got discouraged and ballooned back up to 153 (which didnt leave with the TOM since I was eating like a hog) but I'm back on track now (kind of). I wont know for sure if I get back down to 147 since it will soon be TOM again BUT I will try not to get off course or discouraged by the large weight gain I always have knowing as long as I dont dive into the chocolate it WILL go away in a week or so!
2/1/2008 147lbs
2/22/2008 149lbs
once I get down to 145 I think I will buy myself something, new pants or perhpas necklace, soemthing nice!

It often takes me about a couple of weeks to get back to my pre-TOM low weight. If you know that it is going to happen it stops you getting so disheartened. As you realise - it is when we get disheartened that we sabotage our own efforts by going off track.
It is sometimes nice to see that we are not the only ones that this happens to. I weigh every day - so post each day's weight on the weigh every day club. The good thing is that you see everyone else's weight going up as well as down.
My weight is going down nicely at the minute - but I know that any day it is going to start going up again.
Well done for getting back to 149. Enjoy the hairdo!

resting basal metabolic rate 1499 + 200-500 for breastfeeding, we will guess 300=1800 so I need to get in at least that many calories. I tink sometimes I get too few in beginning of the day then overdo it at night so I will pay attention to how many I have when and make sure I'm not too low in morning or on certain days. I am also getting my heart rate monitor battery replaced to try wearing that for 24 hours to see what it does and to calculate my excercise out.

I was always wondering (since my heart rate monitor died) how many calories I was getting when lifting weights so I could account for it in addition to my cardio. I found a neat little calculator, it also other calculators including one for something called your 'happy' weight which I liked. It said my happy weight would be 140, my goal is 135 but I have felt like 140 would probably be easier to maintain so we shall see.
I went to the gym for 2.5 hours today! Yahoo, way to go!
I dont often congratulate myself but it was a good day and has helped me to fele better, I have been slackign on excercise this week. Not necessarily without good reasons but still.
I also met a nice old man today, I was cooling down walking around track and he smiled at me so I said hello and although he was walkign so so slow I decided he looked like he had something to say and he did, we chatted and walked for about 5 minutes and I told him I had to stretch nice to meet him yada yada well he said he had to take his water/rest break, low and behold his water bottle was right where I stretch so we porbably talked another good 5 minutes. THen I went to lift weight and bid him farewell, he came over later and invited me to ring his bell whenver I walk past his house and told me exactly where he lived he had said the general neighborhood previusly and I told him I walked through there alot, he told me he would love to meet my dogs and husband/daughter. He was the sweetest old man. I love interactions like that and have a soft spot in my heart for the elderly (most of them anyway LOL).
So far I am at 1000 calories today and I burned 758, (more really becuase I didnt count walking cool down etc) at the gym including 50minutes hills 20 minutes stairs 20minutes bike 50 minutes weights.
I learned one otehr good lesson today (well reinforced really) this calorie counting is doing me well because after gym I tried to ahve a stuffed organic sandwich from snack bar but they were out and rest of their food is junkie and overpriced IMO so I stopped by mcd's for a fruit and yogurt parfait and decided sicne I still had errands to run I would get a honey mustard snack wrap (grillled of course). I was thinking in my mind this would be my 'snack' but once home I realized "hey, I'm not actually hungry maybe that was my lunch" so I figured I would log in waht I had eaten and see where I was at. Low and behold that 'snack' was enough calories for a whole meal I would normally eat at lunch, I would have eaten alot more because I tend to eat alot fruits vegetables grilled chicken but it ended up MORE calories. Of cousre htis is all just common sense so like I said its not earth shattering news just a good reinforcement for me

Yoo! Popping in saying hello right back at ya~
Great work at the gym! That's awsome.
I don't have the motivation to go to a gym... don't like it at all. And you burmed ALOT of calories. Way to go~
And I'm gonna check out that calculator, might be fun to try out.
Keep up with the wonderful work~

Great job at the gym mom2! I have a soft spot for the elderly too. They seem to brighten my day. Keep it up!
well dilemma, I was under calories yesterday (no points in my memorial day challenge) but I was nto feeling well so I left it alone. Today I am also under calories, I had planned enough but we had dinner late and it was very filling and now I dont want to eat my snack for the night at all as I am still a little too full from dinner which I couldnt even finish. So do I eat 160 more calories just because or do I negate points. Probably best to negate points but on the other hand I have some mini chocolate bars I coudl indulge in that I somehow wouldnt mind eating LOL! We shall see if hubby is having an evening snack before decididng.

I would do what feels right for you. The challenge is for fun and motivation, is by no means a guideline to follow. If you are not hungry and have already consumed a healthy amount of calories, I woulndt eat it for what boils down to 1 pt in the challenge, unless you really wanted it.
Great job on your loss! I see how well you have done in that other challenge!
