10-1-15 Thursday Weigh-In...October Is Here

[Belle]

October and Fall is here

Isn't this the month to drink beer

 

That's a no no..guess it helps if lite

But if drink to much still will be nite nite

 

Calories remember do count on drink and food

Always more calories on food we think is good

 

Like Holloween is coming which brings candy

They put it out in August isn't that handy

 

Not good for us who are trying to eat right

Have to get thru ALL the Holidays with all our might

 

So remember we can say..No Thanks..I just ate dinner

Then each weigh-in day you will feel so much better thinner

Hello,

 

Belle, thanks for the poem.

 

I lost the 1 lb. I gained over the last 2 weeks.

 

Can't believe it's October.

 

Happy losing.

Tis the beer drinking month, but so far (past month) have been able to resist - not even when indulging in a cigar. (I get the funniest looks - out walking the neighborhood with my water bottle in one hand and a cigar in the other - I can just feel them saying "what's the point dummy?")

 

Even "good" foods can trip you up - I remember mentioning how the salad at Olive garden was great - but the dressing is a whole 'nother story - killed a daily calorie and fat budget one time because I didn't check first. Crazy how how much reading and research one has to do anymore to avoid all the garbage out there...

 

Also doing good avoiding the sweets, believe it or not, a spoonful of chocolate chips every few days seems to be enough to kill the craving. (Got them for a dessert pizza few months ago and they're still sitting in the bottom of the fridge.)

 

I think my stomach has finally shrunk so much that if I eat the slow deliberate way, I get full on half an entree anymore. I'll still eat the whole thing, but in two sittings a couple hours apart. That and constantly chugging water (not all that hard - 107 degree record heat today) are keeping the hunger pangs at bay.

 

Another month or so of this strict of eating, and I hope to hit my goal and relax a little and start eating a few of the things I'm not right now.

 

But boy is it paying off - down 3lbs to 184! A belt used to be optional, now I have to wear one if anything is in my pockets. The kilt will be looking good on me come the Wipeout Fun Run next month!!!

 

Hope everyone survives another week, here's to positive results!

[shootr]

Like crickets in here...

[Belle]

What's happening to our Thursday Weigh-In?

Where's the PEOPLE?

 

Diana..Glad you got the lb off. Yes October

came so fast. Pretty soon we will be singing

Jiggle Bells!

 

shootr..Great loss. Our market sells Olive Garden

Dressing reg. and lite. Been buying the lite. I to

have bought Choc. chips for when Choc. cravings

are bad. A few is better than a whole candy bar.

(Great minds think alike) LOL

 

I lost about 1/2 lb. this week. Better than a gain.

 

Now have we all been showering..using deodorant?

Why are we scaring everyone away..couldn't be my poems..

never!

 

Need to do something..WHAT?

 

Have a great weekend Diana and shootr.

I stayed the same over the week. did all my workouts. I have found I have less energy to get through my workouts so I have had to make changes to my diet. as I didn't drop any weight last week, my goal for the month of October is 5 pounds.

[retiring soon]

Hi all!

 

Sorry to be late checking in, I'm just lazy!:o

 

Belle ~ October will never be beer drinking month for me as I hate the taste. I've tried it a few times & God knows there was enough of it at my parents' place but I just can't stand the taste! Now Hallowe'en candy is a different story!;)

 

I guess I'm doing slow & steady wins the race with another 0.2 lbs lost!

Have a nice weekend & a good week.

 

~ Jo ~ :)

[Belle]

Angele..Staying is better than a gain. With

your workout could be losing inches. Yes

when exercise need the right food.

 

Jo..A loss is a loss. Not a gain! Steady low loss

better than not losing. Right?

I like you don't like beer but love candy! My downfall!!!!

 

Now Jan, Rose and others come in this weekend.

We miss you ALL.

 

Sorry don't remember where everyone lives but

hope your not in all the rain and storms.

Stay safe if your in that area.

[shootr]

Jeez, in some kind of zone today - that's what happens when the whole family is doing other things and leaves me to my devices...

 

16 miles on the bike this morning, then some gardening, car washing, and an afternoon of watching football.

 

Kids have a marching band competition that doesn't end until late, so dropped the truck off at school and walked home - but took a detour and wound up getting another 5 miles in.

 

 

Since the missus is working a couple night shifts, will try to surprise her tomorrow while she sleeps and get the house cleaned up good. Gotta get those brownie points! :D

 

Oh, we're going to southern Cal for Thanksgiving with the grandkids - and found a local 5K turkey trot so we signed up for that - burn a few calories before the afternoon feast.

[kasi1979]

Wow, you are a posterboy :) for doing good.

I´m having a tough week, our roof has to be repaired and I´m still awaiting news on the costs.

The kid caught a cold and handed her germs right on to me.

I did not loose any weight.

I did not reach my workout goals.

I will do better next week.

[Belle]

Kasi..Sorry about the baby and you with olds

Really sorry about the roof..everything costs so much these days.

 

How is it going back to Work? Probably a stupid question.

Bet you still wish you were at home.

 

 

shootr..Your in a "Zone" Walking and walking and eating good!

Plus doing "housework"! Your a keeper!

Now you want to walk at Thanksgiving? Give him a Gold Star!

 

 

Doing alright haven't gained this weekend. Even maybe a loss!

Will hold my breath till Thursday! lol

[nyer]

Sorry for not checking in sooner, Belle.

 

I am down .6 lbs. Not much, but after the last few weeks where I stayed the same, I am happy.

 

I live on Long Island and the past few days were very rainy and windy. We are happy to see the sun today.

 

shootr...you are doing great. Good luck on reaching your goal weight.

 

Congrats to all the losers. Sorry your baby is sick Kasi. Hope she feels better soon.

 

Rose

[Belle]

Better late than never.

 

Glad you had a loss. Always nice

to see a lower weight no matter

how much.

 

Happy your seeing the sun today.

Hope you didn't have any problems.

 

Have a good week.

[Belle]

It's fall and it's here to last

Wish we could lose during this season fast

 

Then winter and then a new year

Like to have a ten pound loss that's near

 

Holloween..Thanksgiving ..Christmas .. candy/food

We can't gain and we have to be good

 

So thru sun..rain and snow

We have to do what we know

 

What are your plans to get thru the holidays this time

Exercise..eat less..give up wine and drink water with a lime

 

Talk a little

Walk A lot

 

Eat a little

Drink a lot (water)

[winewanderer]

I posted on the 10-8 thread also.

 

I stayed the same. That's ok. I continue to be about 12 lbs. lighter than a couple of years ago so happy I haven't gained it back.

 

Wishing everyone a good week.
