Asleep sitting up - yep, you needed it!

Congrats on the loss and here's to twenty gone very soon!!

Getting back in the groove, I swear I had the worst flu/cold known to man, I am 99.9 percent here now. I had started exercising, I KNOW , ME??? I joined a 24 hour show up late no one is there gym, nice, bought an MP3, loaded it will feel good music and Eminem, I know him? Rap, I listen to country, but his angry stuff is a good pick me up on a treadmill. Well then I decided I really wanted to use another gym in town cause they had a better variety of cardio machines, but lousy hours, so I am keeping both accts...

Except, I really like kick boxing...so I am taking my son to Karate 2X a week and I have a cardio kick boxing class after, very cool. I am loving exercise. Who the heck has hijaked my acct and is talking right now, cause 180 doesn't exercise lol

I also added B shots froma local Medifast program doc... he does the shots ala carte... also taking Fish Oil and Biotin to help with hair loss, seems to be working.

Sigh, turned 44 2 weeks ago... I was sick BUT I have been buying an outfit every payday from a local consignment shop, ( why buy new when used will do) 10/12...I walk into my closet and handle them often. I started a 24, am a 20 now, really want out of the 230's, REALLY REALLY. I want 190's in July...uh don't think it will happen but we will try...

Meanwhile, I have missed everyone... have to get back to my food schedule, and am trying to give up diet sodas and splenda in Oatmeals...

The cruch bars are CRACK, can we really have more than 1 a day, that seems so wrong.

Okay kids, I am back... feeling fine... I would love to hear from somone who hit goal and exercised along the way, that worries me...


Talk later

Why does exercising all the way to goal scare you? I'm pretty sure everybody has to do it at some point in their lives if they want to lose/maintain weight. I mean, I'm hoping to be the one exception to the rule but so far I have the exception to no other rule about this plan. I think it's great that you have found something you enjoy doing. That is really the key to keeping it up long term.

190s by July - my, that would be nice wouldn't it? Happy belated birthday and I hope you get as close to that goal as possible in the next month. Welcome back full force!

Happy you're in the groove again, 180. Pump up the jam, rock 'n' roll, may the force be with you ! Beam me up Scotty ! (okay, that one doesn't really fit ). However you slice it, let's get 'er done !

[oksoonergirl26]

I HATE being sick,especially respiratory and fever-I can't deal with it at all. I love the crunch bars, but the flavor infusers are my crack..it must be the caffeine. As far as exercising goes, I have to set my mind to the fact that the only way I will ever be able to lose and maintain is to suck it up and do it. I don't enjoy it, until about 30 minutes in and then I love it. I love Eminem, but I have download the soundtrack to "Slumdog Millionaire" and I LOVE LOVE it! It has some really good rhythms and beats and its impossible to go slow while listen to the main song "Jai Ho".

How's it going for you, 180 ?

[MyComplete180]

I am back in the groove...I have held the 235 mark all week, I am hoping that today by really paying attention to times and water I may see movement before weigh in. Posting, now I have been very bad, I am sorry... this next week I am going to set aside time to post each day, I really feel bad I have been gone so long... I am going to start reading journals I have some catching up to do...

[nickieluv]

It's easy to get overwhelmed with the new posts, especially now that things are picking up here again - which is great! But it can be daunting when you log on to twenty new posts or something like that, when you were hoping for just a quick check-in. I hope you do get to set aside some time to 'visit' here - your perspective has been missed.

[MyComplete180]

I agree...I think it is cool that so many are joining or returning...I am really having a HARD time with the 230's...not sure what the deal is I am throwing a MF party when I see 220's lol

[Karli]

Okay, 180 ! Here's to you knockin' 'em poundies outta here and getting yourself movin' to the 220's !! It will happen !!

[MyComplete180]

Depressed and frustrated as I see 233/234 for the past two weeks.... I have no idea what to do, either I have to stop MF and go to a traditional diet or I have to stop exercise....did I mention I am depressed as heck about this, my scale may lose it's life lol

[oksoonergirl26]

I imagine that your body is still recovering from the flu-it takes awhile. I don't know what else to tell you, and I think it will get better once you get all the way well.

[MyComplete180]

The scale barely hangs to life...I have decided NO EXERCISE, I will do MFonly until 195, then will modify for needed intake....only up 1lb and that in itself is a gift lol...

[nickieluv]

Hang in there - have you checked to be sure you are following all the MF rules to a 't?' Having all your meals every day, good timing between them, no extra condiments or goodies or even too much cream in your coffee? Give it another week - you were out flat for a long time and it might just be that your body needs to restock the nutrients before it can let go of some weight. I hope you're doing OK!
