Thank you very much Zara......I really appreciate it.........just wish I was better at posting and watching what I am eating..........still trying to figure out what is going on with this weight loss thing...........
Thank you SmallerMe and Val for the wishes to get better, I still have the migrane but am coping.........lots of med's no exercise and wows me eating whatever I feel like, and not watching it at all............
I had to go back to work Tues, so I have been dopped up and the migrane is still there, just able to cope with it..........but, if I try to do more than what I actually need to do..........boy, does it hurt like mad. If it is not gone by Sat. I will need to go and get a shot, not looking forward to that. Will post later...........going to bed now.

Oh I feel for ya Judy, being anemic I suffered with migraines for years.. I know what ya mean when you say it's just enough relief to get by.. just don't rise up too quickly or bend down.. OUCH! I get them less frequently now but I still remember bury my head in the covers just trying to wait it out
I hope you will recover and not need the shot.. my headaches use to come in clusters I'd have them for a few days and then I'd feel all better.. Hang in there and get some GOOD sleep, sometimes that's all you can do till it passes
God bless, ~SmallerMe

But, things will get better when God is ready for it to.....just another trial to get me closer to him. Maybe, I need to remember to listen........

Well finally the migranes have stopped and hopefully on Monday, I can get back to working out at curves. The weather is beautiful here and I am going to take a nice long walk tomorrow. Today, my hubby and youngest son, went into Wausau, which is about 40 miles from our house to go the mall and Sams Club, we made it an all day thing, and it was really nice to just spend time with family.
Will post later, and will hopefully start recording what I am eating again tomorrow.

As you can see, there has been some weight gain.........yuk, yuk, yuk.....we will see what will happen, and hopefully, it will be down again by the end of the week.
Will post my calories later in the day. And can someone help me and tell me how to figure what my calorie intake should be.
See you all later.

Hi. I don't know your height so for the purpose of calculation I will assume 5'6".
(Female,46,5'6",218lb) => unadjusted RMR would be 1646. This should be your minimum intake, and is also an appropriate calorie target, unless you are also very active in which case you should consume more.
It is a bit hard to interpret your food diary: you certainly consume the right number of calories some of the time (and sometimes go way over) but there are also quite a few days below your RMR! I'll repeat: you really should not be having any of those.

Well, here is what my RMR is 1598 at least today, didn't do much. My intake was:
Calories 1463.2, Protien 76.1/21%, Fat 55.9/34% (2 whole eggs), Carbs 169.3/42%, Fiber 22.8, Sodium 2616.3
Looks as if my intake needs to go up some, but I am not hungry. I woke up late today, didn't have breakfast/brunch till about 10am and then didn't eat anything till 6pm for dinner..........I packed in a lot of food for breakfast and for dinner. Very very full.......
Will post again tomorrow, and since I will be doing curves in the am, and most likely will walk on both of my breaks.......my rmr would then go up? am I right Nir.....and by the way I am 5'3". Does that mean I am to eat more, or stay right at the one above? That is where I am lost, I have a desk job, I try and do the curves workout 5 x a week and I walk at least 30 mins most days, is that considered Lightly active or moderately active?
See you all later.

Probably closer to lightly active.
Areas to focus on:
1) eat the right number of calories
2) aim for more protein: aim in the range 148g - 178g (that's considerably more than you're getting at present)
3) aim to eat small frequent meals, e.g. 5 meals. [and one of them should be breakfast]

Thanks Nir,
I usually eat 5 small meals, and one of them is usually breakfast, that was just an extremely lazy and unusual day for me. I do have a problem though in getting in the protien. I will post my Mon, Tues, and Wed meals tomorrow.

Hi All, Haven't posted on the boards lately, been working lots of overtime, so between, work, family and sleep haven't had much time to post, have tried to keep up with all the reading though. I haven't had time to track the amount of food that I have eatin, but will begin that again on Sunday. I have been keeping a journal though and can tell when I am totally out of wack..........Well, you will hear more from me from now on. Hopefully, you will see less of me, because I will be thinner.

Sunday, my numbers were:
Calories 1348, Protien 55.3 (17%), Fat 57.8 (39%)(mostly healthy fats, nuts and pb, but still no excuse), Carbs 146.9 (44%) Fiber 14.2 (having much trouble getting this to go up), and Sodium 2408.00
Not to bad, need to bring the calories up, the protien and fiber up, the fat and carbs down just a bit.
Well, will write more later.

Well, I have gone and entered another challenge, hopefully, I can keep this one up and do well, if not I only have myself to blame. I have to get serious about this, I can't keep going on this way. I am really going to have to watch what I am eating and how much I am walking and working out, because obviously I am not doing enough.

Hi Judy,
Just checking in to see how you are doing
Things are still crazy and will be until after the wedding on the 16th. The rain gave me a break tonight. I was potting my flower pots, and it started to pour down. I quickly moved things into the garage that I didn't want to get wet. But, I was also going to mow lawn tonight. I got a nap instead Sure needed that, as I've been short of sleep for sooooo long!
Better find the sheets! Doesn't do any good to get a nap, to catch up on sleep, and then stay up late and short myself again!
Praying that ALL is going well!

Hi Pat, Thanks for the support I really appreciate it. Sorry, I haven't been on much, but my life has been extremely full, btwn 15hrs of overtime a week at work, along with the 1 hr drive each way, I basically have time to come home fall in bed and start over again. And my car was out of commission for 2 days, and around here we have no public transportation........so it has been a real pain.
Well, I will do another official weigh in on Monday, and hopefully I will be able to make it to curves next week, I have not had the energy for nothing. But, I hope that I will next week.
Good bye for now.

Hi All,
Well, it is time (even w/overtime) for me to start getting serious about loosing this weight, more and more everyday I am feeling bad. I am scrapping everything and starting over. My 1st goal is to write down everything that I eat over the next 7 days, and see where I need to make changes. Also to get at the least 15mins of walking in everyday, and strive for 3 days of curves workouts at the least. That is what my 7 day goal is. No more excuses, just 7 days. At the end of that 7 days I will set my next 7 day goal. I have gone and cleaned out the fridge, freezer and cabinets as best that I could. My husband can eat anything and loves his sweets and chips, so we moved those to their own cabinet it is too high for me to reach unless I stand on a chair, and that is to much work and I really don't crave the flavored chips (only Lays original) or sweets. Well I have to run time to go to the store.
See you later
Judy

My listing of food today, did not try and watch my intake, just wrote it down, want this first week to be like always do, want to know where I am going wrong, so that I can see what needs to be changed and how I can change it.
Breakfast:
4oz's of Orange Juice, 1 Cup of Nonfat milk, 2 Eggo Whole Wheat Waffles, 1 TBSP of Syrup, 1/2 TBSP of Blue Bonnet Vegi spread
Snack:
1/4 cup of popcorn chicken from walmart deli, while shopping
Lunch:
1 Brat on Bun w/mustard and onion, 1 Diet Pepsi
Snack:
2 cups of microwave popcorn regular flavor, 4 oz's of CocaCola Classic
Dinner:
2 slices of Jack's Rising Crust Cheese Pizza, 2 slices of Portesi Sausage Pizza, 2 cups of non fat milk
Snack:
Rootbeer float (6oz of rootbeer, 1/2 cup of icecream chocolate)
I really wasn't hungry after the 2 slices of pizza, but kept eating anyway, not sure why, but did. Really wasn't hungry for the Rootbeer Float, but, had been craving it all day, so ate it anyway. Well, now I feel bloated, don't want to go to bed and am really really tired.
On a positive note though: Breakfast was good for me, only had a 1/2 a can of cocacola. Went for a 30 minute walk on top of grocery shopping for 45 minutes.

| hey judy, hope all is going well for you and you manage to get things back on track. i know what you mean about eating things when you are full. i can quite happily do that with things like pizza and chocolate, just because its their i feel i have to eat it! the only way i found to cut things like that out is not to eat them in the first place... once im at my ideal weight i figure i can gradually reintroduce things and hopefully have some self control!

Thank you Voodoodoll
I usually have much more self control, but, lately I have been feeling out of sorts, not depressed, but, blue feeling, and I seem to just do things on impulse instead of thinking ahead. I am not an emotional eater, but an emotional impulser. What I mean by that is it isn't that I will also just eat even when I am full when I am being emotional, but I may just go with out eating at all all day, or I might over exercise to the point where I am exhausted, or lay in bed all day even when I have things I need to do, or spend more money at the store, or buy things that I don't need and really don't want. That is what I call an emotional impulser, I do things on impulse instead of thinking it through first. I am going to have to work on that, and try more of a thinker even when I am blue.
Well time to have some breakfast, been up for almost an hour and a half and haven't eaten yet.

Todays Eats:
Breakfast
1 cup of Fiber One Honey Clusters, w/1/2 cup nonfat milk, 2 vegi sausage links, 1 pc of Sara Lee delightful whole grain bread w/1tsp of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Lunch:
Whopper junior with cheese, no pickles, 1 medium frozen coke.
Snack:
1 banana w/1 tsp of chocolate syrup
Snack:
2 cups of orville redenbachers light butter popcorn
Dinner:
3 oz roasted chicken breast w/no skin, 1/2 cup of rice a roni chicken flavored, 1 cup of french style greenbeans, 2 biscuits w/1 tsp of blue bonnet maragine on each. 1 cup of nonfat milk.
Snack:
Handful (about 10) nestles raisinets, about 1 oz of lays potatoe chips, and 1 12oz cocacola.
Breakfast was good, dinner was good until I ate the 2 biscuits, probably should of stopped at 1, need to watch the snacks though..........and I can't believe the amount of calories in a whopper junior, oh my god, what are they in a whopper. Tomorrow back to work, will be a better day. Did exercise today, walked about 15 minutes and am trying a program for exercise called the Ladder program. I am starting at rung 1, took me about 8 minutes total. I do toe touches, sit up, leg lift, push up, and jogging in place 75 steps w/jumping jacks each 75 steps. I did 2 toes touches, 3 sit ups, 4 leg lifts, 2 push ups, and 105 steps w/1 jumping jack. This is what I will do for week one, week two adds more reps for each exercise. See Nir, I did go to physicsdiet.com. Found this very interesting. I was in the airforce so so many years ago and do like this kind of exercise. Everyday, little changes and this should make for more weight loss.

Judy,
Yeah for you!  I know that in order for it to work for me, I need to  write it down! It is such a good evaluation tool
I"ve been doing better, by keeping track (although this weekend, I ate way too much in quantity-too much bread too ) and know I need to begin again in writing everything down, and figuring out calories and nutritional values.
You are off to a great start!

Judy, that is so me at times! One of my major problems is portion control, too! If I could just take a taste, and leave it at that!
When I get determined.......I can resist anything..........any treat or roadblock! I just need to get determined again. Right now my mindset is to work at it..........but I want to eat at all the little "events" that come up. If I could just control myself at those "events".....or sometimes it's just the weekends, that trip me up. I just don't feel totally in control, just somewhat
Oh well, each day is a new one............and a new beginning. GO FOR IT! My prayers for your success

Hi All,
Today was a pretty good day, not the best lunch in the world, but did real well in calories and ratio's. Still not watching what I eat, just logging what I eat. Want to find out why I loose and gain and gain and loose the same 10 15 lbs over and over again. Can only do that if I write down what I eat on a normal basis. So lets go over everything.
Breakfast:
1 cup of Fiber One HOney Clusters, 1/2 cup of nonfat milk, 1 pc Sara Lee Delightful whole grain bread w/1 tsp of butter and sprinkled with cinammon. 1/2 cup milk to drink.
Snack:
15 red seedless grapes, 1 tsp of peanut butter on 1 slice of Sara lee delightful whole grain bread.
Lunch:
 1 Mcdonalds hamburger happy meal complete w/toy, toy was cute. Had a hamburger, 1 small FF and 1/2 of the child size coke. Not to bad. was cheap and not as many calories as I was afraid off, still wasn't the best, but had to run to the bank at lunch and only have a 1/2 hr lunch and with all the construction here it takes 20 min. to go to bank, and mickey dees is right next door.
Snack:
1 cup of watermelon, oh so good, 1/2 cup plain white popcorn by Jay's OkeDoke.
Dinner:
3 oz chicken baked no skin, 1/2 cup of rice a roni, 1 cup of french style green beans, these were left over from last night.
Snack:
1/2 cup of Breyers All Natural Creamery style chocolate icecream.
My calories today were 1498, Carbs were 221, Fat 48 and Protien was at 65.
Not so bad. Now to get the scale to go down. Today I was at 214 lbs that is up from the last time I weighed at 209, but it will go down, I know it will.
I walked 2 15 minute walks today and did my ladder exercises. Now it is time to go to bed.
Good night all and see you tomorrow.

HI All,
Well, I had to breakdown and go get a new scale, my was really strange, it would weigh me really heavy and then really light, just could not figure out the problem, I even changed the battery. Then my husband got on the scale and it told him he had gained about 12lbs in one day, so I said that was it in the trash it goes. I went out and bought one that measures weight, body fat and hydration. Every time I stepped on it it gave me the same reading. It does weigh heavier though, so will have to change my weights on the challenge.
My weight on new scale is 224.5 don't like it, but it is the new scale so we should probably start with that one.

The holidays are over and I have done havoc to my body, I need to get back on track and find the power to overcome. I have gotten so out of shape that I am always out of breath, my back always hurts and it never has in the past and my hips and legs hurt, and it isn't all old age.........it is being out of shape and abusing my body with the junk that I have eaten. Today I am making a pledge to myself to shape up and ship this fat out of me forever.
I ate 1596 calories, 61 grams of fat, 182 grams of carbs, and 93 grams of protein. I need to up the protein just a hair and lower the fat. I am thinking of trying the Ali, but, still not sure, am afraid that I am not cutting out enough fat and that I will have a few accidents if I try.
For Breakfast today:
1 cup of fiberone honey cluster of oats, 1 cup of skim milk, 1 pc of 100% whole multi grain bread w/1 tsp of butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. 1 orange.
Snack
1 small apple, w/1 tsp of peanut butter
Lunch
1 Lean all white Turkey Burger, 1 Sara lee soft & smooth whole wheat bun, w/1 tsp miracle whip, 1 pc of lettuce (small leaf), 1 slice of tomato, 1 packet of ketchup
Snack
1 cup of puff corns (these were really bad for me, and lots of snacks, but, much better than the chips I was really craving, they are all gone, so no more puff corns, only apples with a little salt when I want crunchy and salty.)
Dinner
1 lean 100% Beef pattie, 1 SL SS WW Bun, w/1 tsp miracle whip, 1 packet of ketchup and 1 slice of cheese. 1 cup of chili w/beans (made with lean ground beef) 1 cup milk.
Not to bad, but still need to work on the fatty things.. No Coke today and aiming not to have any, had 10 glasses of water and some tea with no sweetner or lemon.
Only had 30 mins of walking, no other exercise today, weather bad and did not have time this morning.
Have to work on exercise too.

Judy , do you remember about 2 years ago (will be in Feb. I think) we were going to inspire each other to give up all soda pop? Well, you inspired me, and it helped me so much to think of you, every time I wanted to grab a can of pop!
So, now can I inspire you? I sure am not doing well (actually not making any effort) on the diet front.............but I still have not had a can of pop since Feb of 2006!  Yes, it's true! Sometimes it's really hard, as there aren't many alternatives sometimes. I drink lots of water, and you can get to a point where you just want something different! Some restaurants and fast food places are offering light lemonade or regular or flavored ice teas.
In those 2 years, I have had 2 sips of soda that I can remember........once I needed a Tylenol bad for a headache when we were traveling, and the hubs had a sip of de-fizzed root beer in a can in the van. So, I used it to get the Tylenol down. The other time, we were at a picnic, and the hubs offered me some of his rootbeer float, and I took a couple of spoonsful.
Hey, if I can do this.............I know YOU can do this!

Thank you Pat, I had a good first day, but not so great second day. Things got topsy turvy, but, did stay away from the pop, none again today. I have been drinking of course my tons of water, but I have always drank about 10 16 oz glasses of water a day, drinking water isn't my problem. I have been drinking lady grey tea quite a bit, just love it, it doesnt require any sweetner, so I get to stay away from that nasty fake sweetner that is almost as bad for you as sugar. The lady grey tea has a slight citrus taste to it and not to much caffiene and tastes good hot or iced. Did not walking today, and did not really eat on plan. I don't have the totals yet, but this is what I ate. Breakfast/Lunch - 1/2 cup of chili w/beans (homemade), 1 cup of skim milk, 1 dbl burger (mcdonalds). 3 musketeer, wanted candy really bad.
Dinner Salisbury steak w/no gravy, mashed potatoes, and peas, with coffee and more water.
It will probably be very high in fat, no fiber and not enough protien.
Going to make up my lunch for tomorrow and get it all packed. I will post my totals later.
Oh yea, thank you Pat for all the nice words, and yes, I do like those fiberone honey cluster of oats. It is great.

Well once again, I have said that I would do something consistently, but, I have not. I am so disappointed in myself, this is my health, not just a file cabinet that needs to be organized, or a closet that needs to be cleaned out. I keep making excuses as to why I haven't done it yet, or kept with it..........and the hard part is that it is my fault. Because I am the only one who can do this, my husband, my children, or my friends can not do this for me. I did not loose this week, because, 1 - I didn't watch what I ate, and 2-no exercise...............I am so lazy.
It is time, to stop fooling around and putting off till another day, because that chance may not come. I need to find someway to stick this out and see it come into reality..........I need to be healthy.

OK, girl, no beating up yourself! You are aware of what you are doing and you are still on here. That's dedication. This is NOT a straight line to success, we all take detours.
Just this morning I had this new thought: When I am not dieting or exercising, I think I look "fine". Sometimes I even think I look gorgeous. Then reality hits, I start dieting and exercising, and when I do, suddenly it is crystal clear that I'm huge and unhealthy. Is it like this for you? I think I really do numb out with food.
Another thing that is helping me: I think ahead. Summer is right around the corner and I'm going to be soooooooooooo angry with myself if I'm not thinner. I live in Texas, there is no getting around shorts and smaller clothes here. Come on, S2BM YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Joni, I appreciate it, it is cute calling yourself Jonibug, my dad use to call me his judybug when I was little. He said it was because I was as cute as a ladybug...........but, now that I think about it, I think he just thought I was a pest....LOL.
Hi personsmom, I will check out the new challenge, haven't had a lot of time to be reading everything lately.........hubby is taking college courses and on the computer alot doing homework.
I am feeling better today, but, sometimes I have to scold myself or I will never ever face the fact that I am the only one in control of this body and the only one who can do something about it. So time to take charge, take control and have at it.

Hi Judy
It is time, to stop fooling around and putting off till another day, because that chance may not come. I need to find someway to stick this out and see it come into reality..........I need to be healthy.
My feelings, exactly! How do we do it? I used to be so strong, and now feel so shakey! I am determined that come Monday, I will get on the scale, and get out the tape measure!!!! But, I'm so scared of what I will find, that I hope I don't chicken out.
Be my crutch, Judy.............hold me up, and get me through this! I have to quit putting this off!

Hi His Gal,
I will be your crutch and we can have God to hold us together, because I really think that I would be your broken crutch. And you used the exact words, quit putting this off. Why wait till Monday? I have gotten so busy after writing that post the other day............that I have put off my goals once again. I have upheld the goal of no regular soda, I have only had Coke Zero, when I have wanted a soda, and that has not been everyday. I have watched what I ate, but, I have not stepped on the scale, I have not measured and I have not been writing down what I ate. Since I have to work this morning.........I am going to weigh and measure tomorrow.........Sunday's seem to work the best for me. I have bought a new notebook and a pen, that fit perfect in my purse.......and it will record everything that I have had to eat, now that my ankle is better, it is time to record how many steps I take in a day and up them every single day, no matter if I have to walk in place. I am going to do this and I am going to do this with you by my side and GOD carrying me all the way. Are you game HisGal?
Judy

You bet, Judy ! Let's do this together...........I need help and motivation. And thanks for the reminder about measuring I was thinking that last week..........that when I stepped on the scale, I needed to get out the tape measure.
I might be doing this a little slower than I normally would, but I have to start somewhere! Tomorrow morning (Monday) for me!
Let go and let God! I also need to get back in the habit of daily devotion time. I've let that slip with my problems lately...........definitely time to get back to it. He always seems to lead me to just the scripture words that I need to read.
So, let's go, Judy ..........one day at a time!
