Weigh in time!!

Roll call time.....Rex, Banana, Battleshiphips, Sassy Girl, Berry Blue, where are you??!! For a few of you this is two weeks with no weigh-in. We don't want to lose you! Let's hear it, how was your week.

Invitation

I am just letting you all know of an up coming event that I am participating in. It is Race for the Cure. It is May 9th and it is a 5k run/walk. They also have a 1mile walk if you want to. I am doing the 5k run and my goal is to do it in under 30 min. Anyone up to participating with me?

not so good

Well, I am reporting +1 this week, I have so got to get on track with the weight loss.
If I could get my lazy but up in the morning and exercise I might be having some negative weight loss. I'm going on a River trip in July and we will be going with some skinny minnies and I have got to lose before then.

Also my choelsterol is a little high, so if anyone has any ideas on what to do to get than down I would really love to hear them, I do not want to go on medication. So anything natural will be of some help.

Thanks

Well here I am again and I don't have any excuses this week except being LAZY!!! I am reporting a +1. I know that I have issues with having a new baby but there really isn't any excuse for my eating habits but the fact that my head isn't with it for the last few weeks. So this week I am recommitting myself to be an active member of Club Zero. So I will need all the help I can get. I am going to make a challenge to everyone today to post their favorite Club Zero approved recipe. I really need some help because before I was the salsa and tomato queen and that helped me loose a ton of weight but alas that can not be the case because my little cutie doesn't like tomatoes or broccoli. So I am off to find something else I can snack on to help me get back into the negative numbers. I have to snack (it is a curse) so I just need to find something good to snack on and make my meals count. I am also going to be really good with water and see if that helps. So I am here to plead with all of you to HELP ME!!!! I really need some encouragement and I know that is what we are all about.

Feeling Guilty

When I weighed in this morning I was so mad. I thought that I was going to do better and was frustrated that all my work throughout the week had seemed to be for nothing because of one Valentine's dinner. Then I read all the other reports and saw others had a reason to be more upset or frustrated then me. So I will humbly take my -1 for the week and stop my whining and feeling sorry for myself. What can we do differently to help and support each other? Or was this just a bad week because of a Saturday holiday? I'll try to come up with an answer too. ALFALFA

Getting Control

Thanks,

Question????

Darla here I was just wondering if anyone had dieted while nursing?? I was doing so great a couple of weeks ago and loosing weight but I found myself having to give my baby bottles. I don't want to have milk issues. Does anyone have any tips to keep up with the diet and exersize and not loose your milk? (I know that Alfalfa, Rex, Fogerdy, and the Saints Fan really don't want to know about that but all you mom's out there may be able to help me I am so frustrated)

....where are you?? How was Monday?? Time to be accountable.

Weigh in Days

There has been some talk of Monday not being the best day for weigh-in. If you would like to put in your two cents about what day you would like weigh-in to be here is your opportunity. Majority rules.

Seriously starving!!!!

So, I have done Weight watchers in the past...It was wonderful!!! I lost 60 pounds and felt great and then I had one bad day of temptation...Dessert. And it has been uphill since! I have gained 25 of the 60 back...very slowly but sure enough it is here!!!! So, I really struggle with 9am. I eat with the kids at 7am. My breakfast is a nice warm bowl of oatmeal with raisins...nothing else!!! Doing great and then I am ravenous by 9 am and can't seem to satisfy my sweet tooth until by dinner time I'm not even hungry because I have been grazing ALL day!!!! I'm seriously lacking self control here.

Question....

A fellow Club Zero friend and me were discussing that my metabolism seems to be extremely slow these days!!! I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to speed up your metabolism naturally. I know it slows down with age but really -- you should be able to eat an extra carrot at dinner and not blow up like a beached whale --- right?????????

New week, New goals.

So, how did all of you do with your goals last week. Let's hear your accomplishments(or confessions) as for me it is confession, but I did really well at other things that weren't techinically my goal. So since hitting the goal of excercizing 5 times a week is obviously so hard for me to accomplish I will set it again this week, because even though I only excercized twice last week, that was twice more than I would have without the goal. So I am going to keep my current goal until I am able to accomplish it. What about you guys, what are your goals for the week? (And btw, I think we will set long term goals soon, so be thinking about that if you don't have one in mind already.)

Aaaarrrrgh!!!

So in order to keep our identities a secret I have a hypothetical story I would like to share. (Not like we all don't know each others secret identities, but it's kind of fun to post in code.)
Say I know a person, we'll call him Spanky, who works at a store that sells delicious fresh donuts and other tempting creations. Say Spanky was trying to be really good, he ignored the smell of the donuts and just continued with his work. But lets say Spanky soon became VERY tempted by the enticing smell of fresh cinnamon rolls. (Spanky said he is drooling right now just thinking about it.) Today Spanky was able to withstand the temptation because he is saving some room for a treat to watch two of his favorite TV shows tonight, but what should Spanky do about this on other days? Should he have his nose taped shut so the smell stays out? Should he ask that the smell of cinnamon be banned from this particular store? Should he give in to the temptation and eat just one? (Although once a person eats one it is only a small step to eat two or three.) My friend is having quite a hard time with this and could use some advice. Please send your responses to Spanky McFarland c/o The Zero Club @ blogspot.com. Thanks!! Alfalfa

Menu Ideas?

So Rex Kwan Do invited some friends over tomorrow night for a barbecue and football game. I am in need of some healthy side dishes. I know myself too well to think that I can have a fatty potato salad and chips and not eat enough to feed the neighborhood. SO - I am thinking if I can have lots of healthy side dishes I will be able to enjoy the bbq and not hate myself in the morning. Any ideas???

Question

This may be a really silly question that I should know the answer to but I don't so I'm hoping someone else does. Some of you know that I used to drink A LOT of diet Mtn. Dew in a day - a very unhealthy amount. I have now gone 4 entire days with not a drop. I'm trying to replace it with water. I heard that you are supposed to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day. Yesterday I was drinking my head off and only finished 5 water bottles (20 oz) - I seriously felt like I was going to float down the road. Is it because my body is not used to water??
