Jennifer - Oh my God you're leaving already! Have a nice vacation! Keep up the good work! Try and pop in if you find a computer!

Wow Joy... Great work on the Water!

Silly - can we explode from water?

Loana... OK everyone... No one should ever have to weigh during TOM...it should be illegal! Just wait

bjs - ditto... re: time of month. Exercise is helpful!

Everyone is really doing a great job of trying to get the water in. I think that will help us all a lot!

Hey girls. I just did my workout. It was a good one. My legs and butt are SOOOO sore from the other day...and now I just tortured my arms/shoulders/chest and back!! They'll be really sore day after tomorrow.

Before I left the house to go to the grocery, I was up to 88 oz and I've had 30 more while working out. 10 more oz and then I'm going to bed so I can be up all night running to the bathroom. But...I got it all in!! LOL

Loana, I have in my journal over and over (about every other month) about how the cramps go away during TOM when I exercise. I *KNOW* that it will help them...but somehow it's just so hard to get motivated when you're hurting. Ugh. If youre not prepared to see a gain on the scale, and have a plan in your head how you are going to emotionally handle it....don't do it until a week after it's gone. THEN you'll have a big loss! Aaaahhh the mind games we play!

((((Jennifer)))) have fun on vacation...eat lots and lots of crab legs with butter!!

Cher, how are you doing over there????

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Thanks sooo much girly.. I get so down if I see a gain hence why I cheated last night **yikes*** so I will avoid scale LOL.. with the IUD I tend to never know when TOM is.. it just is all over the place... it could be every two weeks or I could go two months LOL.. crazy crazy crazy LOL

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

So, my weight had bobbled down to 212.3 2 days ago, but today I'm back up to 214.2. I attribute this to three things....TOM has finally caught up with me, and secondly I've hit the weights HARD this week. ALL that water I drank yesterday and last night, and I didn't get up for the bathroom at all last night. Soooo, that's 2 lbs of water weight repairing my muscles. Oh, I also had a nectarine last night....my first piece of really sweet juicy fruit in ages.

I'm not upset about it at all. I just wanted to post it here for you guys to see how much my weight does fluctuate. The way I cope with it is going to be drinking MORE water and being careful today with my carbs. I'll also continue this afternoon with my exercise regime and do my HIIT cardio on my elliptical.

You guys have a GREAT day!.

Have afun vacation Cypressgirl...

Well, I got in my water goal for yesterday. I am so sore today from my video workout..My butt and legs are killing me, and I have to head out in minute to PT and get another working over on my back and legs...LOL

We all know I do not oficially weigh in until Sundays, but I am up a # today..MAN, I hope I have a big whoosh before Sunday. My weight also fluctuates, tht is why weekly weigh ins are best for me. I really hope I lose that pund and more by weigh day.

I have my cabbage casserole in the crock pot for tonights dinnr, it looks and smells sooooo good.

Tom, the Official TOM is here as well. I have been having break through bleeding since 4-11, but the real thing is due any day now.. Man, no break. Well, I will get an official break after July 5, that is my date for hysterectomy. That will cure it.

Joy I got some of the blue bunny low carb yogurt yesterday. Havent tried it yet. Want to make sure I lose this week before I intriduce any new foods, but I am really excited for an occasional treat .. I love yogurt..

Well, guess tha is all for now. I am headign to PT , no excersise video today, PT will be enough, and maybe a walk. Then home to house work. Will catch you all later!!

Have a good day.. I have already started my 1st 20oz of water..

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Morning Girls, I haven't weighed yet, for some reason if I weigh when I get up, and then again after showering, I'm always less so I need to wait till I shower! I too fluctuate by 5 pounds on any given day.
Confession: I will not be drinking loads of water today as I need to be out of the house all friggin day long and don't want to keep searching for a bathroom. My food, I'm bringing with me and I have about 3 hours to kill so I guess that means I HAVE to go shopping for a while! I'm having a "fat feeling" day so far so I don't know about new clothing today!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

My clothes is still fitting looser!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Loana....oh well, I'm right there with you! I need to change my siggy weight because I'm 153 all week. If your clothes are looser, that's a good thing even with no actual poundage lost. So yeah, we all need to LOL because with no losses, that's about all we can do!

Today is the dog show in Pomona and I'm getting Cookie ready to see her breeder show. We go every year! A dear friend of mine is judging Best of Show on Monday. But, I love to see the Yorkie show which starts today. I'm so excited ! Taking lots of water with me. Having a huge bacon, mushroom and egg scramble this morning YUM!

My weight is still holding steady. And, I still feel thinner. I don't get it ! Everyone keeps telling me that I look thinner. Pants keep getting looser. So, the scale is just being a little stinker !

Joy - TOM is really such an invalid weight time. It's just a great way to see how much we store water weight during that time. Especially with the way that you're working out. When you're working out the muscles need to hold onto the water to repair the muscles (as you've already said) and during TOM the body just retains the water weight so it's just an invalid measure of what's really happening with your body. It's great that you are able to just look at the weight, see the changes and know that it has absolutely nothing to do with actual body fat. Keep doing what you're doing... you're doing a great job!

bjs - That cabbage casserole sounds really good. Did you find that recipe on this site? It sounds like it would go great with Silly's Meatloaf. I wish I could find that huge explanation about yogurt and how it doesn't hurt LC programs. There was a long article about that on-line a couple of years ago. I'm not sure where that was. But basically the carbs in yogurt are considered null and void anyway. I can't eat Yogurt because I get really bad headaches from it, but most of the long term LCers that I knew ate yogurt and never worried about it. I'll have to see if I can find that article for you!

Silly, I will be out all day but fortunately bathroom will be near. So, I am carrying lots of water and LC snacks to the show. How FUN that you "HAVE" to go shopping for a while. Wish that you could carry all of us in your back pocket with you! I guess you will stay clear of " the Grove"... My drive will take me to Pomona today... it's such a long drive, but, I love the dog show... oh well. Some one's gotta do it!

Awwwwww loana, OK.... you were brave and you know this isn't a true weight gain! And, you know that because your clothes are fitting looser. So, hang in there. Wait until after TOM, and, check again.
