Yeah!!! I'm in the top 10...oh wait...there's only 9 of us, oh well :(  he he

@Gingersnap: I lost six lbs last week and kept 5.6 of it off, so the weight can be real!!!  Congrats :)

@Ronneykay: Glad to see your surgery went well.

@M.Ruder: Is that a challenge????? 

@M.Ruder:What do you plan on doing to lose so much weight?

@mattsgirl813: Did eveyone check in with you or do we only have 10 ladies left?

I have had such a busy weekend and have 1 party down (Sat) and 1 party today to go to.  I haven't done that bad this weekend, but we will see after today.  I don't feel so bad though after reading everyone's posts about their weekend eating :)

@mattsgirl813: Wow from 23 to 13 in 2 weeks, that's bad!!!  Just goes to show all the ladies how hard it is to try to lose weight and stick to it!!

I'm not on the list - i didn't lose last week but i did post my results!  Are you only listing people who lost weight??

I had a shocking weekend - was away for my birthday weekend (30!) and at last count i had:

1 million beers

1 million glasses of wine

50000 bites of cheese and crackers

100 pizzas

My fiance and i then decided that since we'd been SO bad all weekend, might as well make homemade pizza Sunday night and make it a trifecta of pizza dinners. 

Back on track Monday and things have been good so far.  I can start running again tomorrow so I'm really looking fwd to that.

And the cherry on the top of this sundae is, I weighed myself this morning after a huge pee and a big #2 (sorry if TMI, but i like to "clean out" before I weigh myself!) and I'm DOWN from last week!! My body makes no sense!!!!

Not going to lie, I am pretty damn proud of myself!! (sorry it has taken me a bit to reply, but I couldn't see this thread)

On the other thread I shared that I had changed up my breakfast routine a bit and have gotten some major results because of it. I used to make a protien shake and drink that on my way to the gym for my morning work out and then eat breakfast when I got home before work. I was getting a sort of bloated stomach and feeling nauseous from being full during cardio so now I don't eat anything before the gym and I substituted breakfast for the shake. My protien shake is 120 calories per scoop and I usually add a banana and a cup of skim milk which brings me to about 300 calories for breakfast instead of a total of about 500-600 in the morning! Sometimes I skip the milk and banana all together and add water only which leaves me at the 120 calorie mark.

Last week was pretty good as far as work outs go for me. I took an hour spin class Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:45am before work. I also went to an hour yoga class Tuesday and Thursday night.

All in all I am taking in only about 1200 calories per day with my food consumption. I've completely cut juices and pops out of my diet. I've limited my starches and pretty much don't eat any bread except for the occasional peice of rye toast. The only thing I drink is water, tea, and shakes. Because my calorie intake is low I have been aiming for healthy snack items to keep me energized and I'm making sure to get enough protien and supplements. Low fat yogurt and unsalted almonds are my go to snack right now. I've also been eating a ton of spinach and only lean meats like chicken, turkey, and fish. No red meat or pork for this girl! Other than that just tons and tons of water.

Oh, and I've also started to take a high dose of probiotics which I've started to notice a difference in my digestion already. I mentioned before that I am also taking a fat burner. The reccomended dose is 2 capsules 3x a day, but I find I feel nervousness and shaky with that much so I'm only taking it in the morning before the gym for that added boost and to wake me up.

Hope all this info helps you guys. I've been getting a lot of tips from a girlfriend who works at the gym and is training for a fitness competition next month. Hard work does pay off!

@mattsgirl813: I just weighed myself and I am the same after the weekend too! I think this is because I was busy around the house and only worked out once and had a big dinner on Sunday! I'll be back to the hard work tonight..

@mattsgirl813: Me too, unfortunately my fan stopped working so I was a sweaty mess afterwards!!  Keep up the good work.

I was really bad yesterday and paid for it a little today unaddicting myself to food again :(

@miss.nicole: Depends are you drinking a glass or the whole bottle :)  Alcohol converts to sugar after you drink it, so I think it would depend on your body and if drinking alcohol makes your body crave sweets more.  When I started losing weight I just didn't drink alcohol because I didn't think it was worth the calories.

@mattsgirl813: Right now I'm drinking Diet Coke, I woke up hungry this morning and I'm trying to ignore it!!  Gonna do weight lifting at lunch.  It's pretty here in sunny San Diego too, but unfortunately I'm working all day and doing overtime and won't be off probably until it's dark :(  Good luck with finishing your paper.
