2 crackers Wendy's, saltine crackers 25
1 Wendy's, side salad 60
Total 365
Evening
1 each Subway, western egg breakfast sandwich 286
1 c Milk, skim, fat-free 88
Total 374
Snack
1 McDonald's, Apple Dippers w/ low fat caramel dip 100
5 each nuts, almonds, ea 35
2 can, 5.5 oz V8, juice, vegetable cocktail, 100%, low sodium 70
Total 205
Daily total: 1396
When I first started this lifestyle change and began losing weight I would play this little game with myself when I was out and about shopping. I kept a running total of other people (mostly women) I saw who were fatter or thinner than me. If at the end of the day the number of people fatter than me was bigger than the number that were skinnier, it was a good day! Well, more and more lately it ends up being those kinds of days where there are a lot more people fatter than I am walking around out there. I got to thinking about it today. It's really rather sad that there are so many overweight people out there. In today's times it is truly an epidemic. But they all seem to be looking for a quick and easy cure. When people ask what I've been doing to lose weight it's almost like they don't believe me when I tell them.
I was digging thru some more old clothes that I had packed away and I found an old leather bikini top, leather short shorts that lace up the sides, along with my thigh high leather spike heel boots. I tried them on and they actually FIT!!! I last wore these 11 or 12 years ago when my husband and I used to go to Sturgis every year. I used to love going and dressing like a slutty biker chick (somewhere out there are pictures of me in a thong bikini with leather chaps believe it or not!). It was a huge ego trip because as we walked around we would constantly be stopped by strange men asking to take my picture. It made me feel like a movie star. I doubt I'll ever be brave enough to wear stuff like that again, no matter how much weight I lose. I have too many stretch marks and spider veins to pull that off ever again. And gravity has been a bitch to my boobs! Besides - I'm a middle aged mom now. That just doesn't seem like something I should be doing any more. I think I'd die if my girls ever saw me in something like that now! I don't know why, but having kids has turned me into a super modest person who is not comfortable baring anything any more!
It's sure fun to remember the good ol' days though!

Fatter or Thinner!!! My favourite way of torturing myself!! I'll spend all day thinking "hmm she's thinner...she's fatter...I'm around the same as her" - however, I think now my idea of who I look the same size as is a bit skew-whiff. If you take a line of different size women big to small and ask someone to insert themselves into the line where they think they fit size-wise they will usually get it completely wrong and think they are far fatter if like us they have struggled with weight...
Old clothes buzz is the best!! Well done for fitting in to them! But hey, don't kids RUIN your body?!?!?!! I'm going to make sure my daughter knows the sacrifice I went through for her...them pert bosums....unstretch-marked stomach...and as for spider veins...I'm going to save up and get them all zapped I think!

I play the fatter or thinner game all the time while out walking and as you say the fatter wins more and more often now. I also feel such a sympathy for fatter women now especially when they are having trouble doing something as simple as taking a walk. I want everybody to feel the way I am feeling now.

Same here. I have a lot more trouble judging where exactly the line goes now days. I'll be following someone into a store and I'm thinking "Yup! She's thinner than me!" Then when we get close to the glass doors and I see our reflections I'm always shocked and think "WHOA! She's NOT thinner than me! How cool is that!!!?!?!?!?"
Boy do they ever!!! It hardly seems fair too - the men get off scott free! But we are permanently changed for life!

I know - same here. So many people have asked me how I've done it and I'm more than happy to share with them and would love to help them lose weight, but many of them are not at a place in their lives where they are ready to hear the truth about what it takes to really lose weight and keep it off (granted I don't have experience yet with keeping it off long term - but I know what I have to do - just have to give myself time to get there and do it!). If it's not an easy way out for them, they aren't willing to commit to a permanent lifestyle change. Sad but true. All we can do is be here for them for when they ARE ready to hear what we have to say and take it to heart.

I'm convinced gravity hates middle-aged women, personally. 
At this point, the fatter or thinner game still results in utter loss for me. But I do find myself much, much more aware of the health of those around me these days, whether it be watching my mother struggle to get up off the sofa because her back hurts due to the strain of weight on her body or to see a complete stranger stroll with an enormous bucket of popcorn into the movie theater. It makes me sad that so many people are completely unaware or just do not care what they are doing to their body. It makes me realize just how fortunate I am to be one of those who does.
And yes, they are all looking for an easy cure because people these days are sooooo lazy. They want rewards without work, so they don't work and are extremely lucky if they do get a reward.
Even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes, what we are all doing is an example to others and I promise you that it leaves an impression. And, you know, we all motivate each other, if nothing else.

Often people don't believe me when I tell them that I have lost the weight by getting a healthy lifestyle and they lose interest as soon as they realize that I haven't got a secret formula. It's a shame as this way is far easier than the numerous fad diets that I have tried in the past.

Hey Tiggy!
Just catching up on your thread.
Sorry to hear bout the deer. I would feel just as bad and I am a deer hunter come fall time. But as sick as it sounds, I probably would have claimed the deer and butchered it to eat if it was salvageable. Its a yin/yang thing kinda. Outta something bad, you gotta try to make a good. But I would still feel like crap.
As for your body changin after kids.....you are right...guys get off scott free. We owe you girls big time for that one. I wish I could add to that but I just hope that all men can respect that fact and be supportive about it.
And way to go on now being called 'Skinny girl!' Its great to have people notice your loss.
Great seeing how well you are doing! Keep up the great work.
And great run btw! Thats like 5 miles+ total! Fantastic!!!!!
Take care TP! You are an inspiration!

I have to agree with you I guess. We are cattle farmers after all and sometimes end up eating beef that was sort of a pet at one point in time. I love animals (especially baby ones) and don't want to see any living thing suffer, but I also love a good steak!
The fawn was so tiny (the body was probably the size of a large cat or small dog - except with REALLY long skinny legs!) so it wouldn't have been worth it for us to butcher it for meat. My husband did take it home and let the cats eat it though, so it wasn't a total waste. We won't have to put out cat food for the barn cats for a few days!

It's FRIDAY!!!! WOO HOO!!!! 
It's been a long week at work and I'm ready for a nice relaxing weekend. It was a cool, rainy day today and I would have loved to stay home loafing around in my jammies, taking lots of naps and reading a good book or something. But I had promised to cover for a coworker today because her daughter is getting married this weekend. So off to work I went.
I got my run in this evening after supper - According to my exercise plan today is supposed to be my lighter cardio day, so walked half a mile and ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill because of the rain. I didn't go as fast or as far as I did on Wednesday, which is supposed to be my hard cardio day.
I FEEL GREAT NOW!!! For some reason my knees don't hurt as much if I run on the treadmill. When I would run outside they were really starting to kill me after I ran. I don't know why that would make that much difference, but it does. The only thing I don't like about running on the treadmill is stopping and getting off. I feel all wonky - like I'm off balance and it takes me a bit to get my bearings again. It's almost like the room is spinning or something.
Today's food tally:
Morning
6 oz Blue Bunny Lite 85, yogurt, key lime pie 80
2 Tbsp cream cheese, regular 99
1/2 bagel, whole wheat, medium 114
1 McDonald's, Apple Dippers w/ low fat caramel dip 100

1 oz cheese, swiss 107
1 tsp mustard 4
3 slice(s) Louis Rich, turkey breast, oven roasted, lunch meat 81

1/2 c Dole, spinach, organic baby 5
2 can, 5.5 oz V8, juice, vegetable cocktail, 100%, low sodium 70

Evening
8 Ore Ida tator tots 150
1 oz cheese, mozzarella, part skim 72
2 Tbsp sour cream, regular 52
1/2 cup Hormel, chili, with beans 97

I stepped on the scale after supper tonight and I think my scale is glad it's Friday too because it said 151.2! I was stuck at 154 lbs for so long it seemed like - so upping my cals to 1400 seems to be working I think? We'll see how the next week or so goes I guess!
For now, I'm signing off and heading to bed. I sure hope the kids let me sleep in tomorrow morning!

I get that wonky feeling when I get off the treadmill. When I try to walk I feel as if I am floating in the air and being propelled forwards . Really weird feeling . If I slow right down to barely walking for a few minutes and have a long drink before I get off then I am much better. The first time I went on the treadmill I almost fell over when I got off and felt really stupid.
Well done on the weight loss

Been SO lazy this weekend. Yesterday the in-laws took the older girls with them to town on an errand and bought them those soft Chips Ahoy cookies. So I ate WAY WAY WAY too many of them. And then of course I felt really lousy after. I haven't lost my willpower like that and binged on something in MONTHS! Why did I go and do that for??!?!?!?!?
Now today I'm trying to get myself moving to go lift weights. I really don't feel like it though.... Snuggling on the couch with hubby and watching TV sounds SO much better right now.
Hope my ambition comes back by tomorrow, because it's been seriously lacking this whole weekend!

Kinda having a frustrating day. It seems I've gained a few pounds and am back up to 154-ish (I had been down to 151 last Friday). I have the munchies - like I'm craving something, but I don't know what.
I did lift weights last night, and ran 2 miles on the treadmill tonight. And I've been keeping my calories around 1400. But that dang 155 just keeps pulling me back towards it!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GET AWAY!!!!!
I've been trying to figure out some mini-goals or something to work towards now. I have no more visits to friends/from friends and nothing really coming up. I had hoped to be down to my goal weight by my birthday at the end of October, but it doesn't feel like I'll make it now. I think it would be easier to get there if I made smaller goals to get to the bigger one.
But unfortunately I'm drawing a blank.
So I'm going to bed before I do (eat) something I regret!

I'm trying really hard not to panic and cut back on the calories to where I was before. According to everything that I've read my body really does need more now that I'm exercising, and this jump in weight is probably only temporary (I hope!) so I'm going to try and ride it out and see what happens.

Aww, wow. I really feel your pain. I've been there.
But I always lost weight again eventually without really changing anything, so I'm sure the same is probably true for you. It sounds like you're doing good things with your eating and activity level. The body is just strange and sometimes it's reaction to what we do with it doesn't make sense.When I have the munchies, I eat an apple. Apples are delicious and just one really makes you feel stuffed so that you don't want anything else. Also, if I have the calorie room for it, I have a little cheddar with the apple. Cheddar + Apple = Yuuuummmmy. I don't know if it works like that for anyone else, but apples have done good things for me at times like this.

I think I've been spoiled for the first part of my weight loss journey - I had a pretty steady downward trend until recently. It seems like the closer I get to my goal, the slower the weight is coming off.
The apple and cheddar sounds interesting. I love apples dunked in vanilla lowfat yogurt. I've never thought to try them with cheese. I think I'll need to try that soon - sounds yummy!
But not tomorrow! My office is having an employee appreciation day. We get to dress casual and they are bringing everyone a banana split. I've planned out my foods for tomorrow so that I can fit in all those yummy calories! The funny thing is when I plan for those sort of treats in the past, I end up only being able to eat half of them! Should be an interesting day. I feel like everyone watches me so closely when I'm in the main office - they they are trying to catch me slipping up or taking some sort of magic potion that I won't share with anyone else. When I've gone out for lunch with co-workers in the past I've stuck to my diet and everyone says watching me eat makes them feel so guilty for pigging out so much. But I think it's important for those watching me to see if I can reallty accomplish my goal by changing my lifestyle enjoy occassional treats like this. So many of them won't even try to make the least changes to their eating habits because they think what I'm doing may be to restrictive for them, and therefore they won't even attempt it.
I didn't have time to work out tonight (I was supposed to lift weights) because I taught an hour long archery class tonight, then had a 4-H meeting with my older girls at a local park shelter. Some time during one of their many bathroom breaks they caught a bunch of tiny little frogs. They wanted to take them home, so they put them in cups and put them in my car. Except during the rest of the meeting the frogs got out of the cups and were hopping all over the inside of my car! We spent quite some time trying to catch them all and get them out. I was not exactly a happy mommy by the time we finally got home tonight.
Foodiness was good today, with a daily total of 1382 cals. I don't think I'm going to write what exactly I ate from now on since I think it's mostly for me anyway and I can look in my online food log if I need to know. I guess it's the software developer in me - I hate duplicate information stored in multiple places!
Well, I'm off to catch some Z's because I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow to drive up to the city for work. Hope all you lovely losers (weight losers that is!) are doing fabulous tonight!

Well, after my little 'un-whoosh' up to 155, I'm finally back down to where my ticker says. And that's even after having a BANANA SPLIT today at work! I stuck to my calorie budget and actually came in exactly the same as yesterday with a total of 1382 for the day!
For the first time today I was brave enough to wear what I call a 'skinny top' to work. We had casual day today, so I got to wear some jeans from about 10 years ago (I think they were a size 8 or 10 - I can't remember) and a t-shirt, the type that teens and 20 somethings wear and is longer (down to my hips) and is very clingy and form fitting (size medium 8-10). I would NEVER have dared to wear something like this in public before because everyone would be able to see my rolls, especially on my back. I was really self concious at first, but after a while (and getting many compliments) I felt more confident.
And I noticed something happening today that I haven't had problems with for nearly a decade. Men staring at my chest when they talk to me instead of looking at my face! That used to REALLY piss me off - but today it actually put a smile on my face (just don't tell the guys that!)
Since I didn't get to lift weights last night, I did it tonight, PLUS I ran 2 miles and walked 1 mile. This whole running thing is actually getting easier and easier! Yes, I'm shocked! After hating it for years and years I'm really surprised that I'm liking it as much as I am. Or maybe I just like the reaction I get from people when I mention stuff like "Last night after my 2 mile run I did this or that."
Tonight after my run I was talking to my mom on the phone (she called right as I finished up my run and was cooling down) and she mentioned how much she admired me for losing all this weight and getting into shape. She said she has a theory though... Science has proven that all matter is constant - it just changes form and shifts around. Her theory is that all the weight I'm losing is flying thru the air somehow and landing on her!
Well, I better get to bed - I have to get up in 4 1/2 hrs to work in the city again tomorrow. UGH!
