Hey, saw an ad for Piyo on facebook and it looked pretty interesting. Has anyone done it? Was it enjoyable? Did you get results?

Baby is finally here. He is almost 2 weeks old. Mj11 by RawrGirl posted 11 August 2016 at 7:45 PM So, RawrGirl is going to start yet another weightloss journal/diary here. Weight as of 2 days ago was 13.4 stone. That's the highest non-pregnant weight RawrGirl has ever been at. Much sadness...

How's it going?

You still around? RawrGirl is pregnant too and trying to undo excess weight gain...if possible...to prevent Cesarean. Do you keep a diary? The link to mine is in my signature, if you're interested.

RawrGirl is super-sized pregnant blimp with a bump...who is now in danger of Cesarean due to a possibly large baby. And if that wasn't enough, she gets a call from the doctor's today that not only does her thyroid dose needs to be upped almost 3x the amount it was, but now her liver is abnormal...

So not only may the baby get too large and RawrGirl need a Cesarean, but Drs office called today...thyroid dose needs to be upped almost 3x the amount it was, and now her liver is abnormal which may be a sign of preclampsia. She needs to go in for more testing tomorrow.

June 2016 -- Ugh! Halfway through 3rd Trimester. (Drs have discovered baby is too big...and quite obviously, RawrGirl is too big).

Well, so much for RawrGirl keeping up a diary here to ensure she doesn't gain too much weight. November -- 160 pounds (5 lbs) December -- 170 pounds (10 lbs) -- RawrGirl kept telling doctor she was gaining too much weight (of course, Christmas holidays didn't help!). Doctor kept saying it was...

Most unexpectedly, RawrGirl finds herself pregnant. It is her second child -- her first child just graduated high school this past June. RawrGirl recently moved to the mountains and was enjoying hiking, biking, etc. and was most looking forward to horseback riding and mountain climbing next...

RawrGirl measures on Fridays. For this challange she is only posting waist measurment losses, not whole body. Miss Thomas -- 0 lbs lost / 14 lbs to go willfitskinnyjeans -- 0 lbs lost / 9 lbs to go RawrGirl -- .5 in lost / .75 in to go Honey-J -- 0 lbs lost / 10 lbs to go Hoz -- 0 lbs lost /...

Measurement Day: Waist: 31.5 (.5 loss) Hips: 40.5 (.25 loss) Navel: 39.5 (STS) Thigh 24.5 (STS) RawrGirl would be happier if she was back at her pre-Christmas weight, but at least she lost. Yay. Was very tempted to have a drink last night, but she resisted. Worked out all week (weights) but...

Yes, the only time RawrGirl ever hit goal was by putting away the scales. Cuz if she sees a gain or STS, she gets discouaged and gets a pizza. If she sees a loss, she celebrates and gets a pizza. Either way, the weekend ends up being a long splurge. Miss Thomas -- 0 lbs lost / 14 lbs to go...

willfitskinnyjeans -- tracking your route like that is an awesome idea!

RawrGirl would love to join! She is not weighing weekly though, just taking waist measurements. Her diet is low carb (20 grams a day), and weight lifting. Miss Thomas -- 14lbs to go / 0lbs lost willfitskinnyjeans -- 9 lbs to go / 0lbs lost RawrGirl -- 1.25 in to go / 0 in lost

RawrGirl does feel better, thanks you two! It was a long day, but eating was good and got a weight workout in, tho didn't get a chance to do yoga. Oh, RawrGirl was 100% good with food over the weeknd. :D That is good, and a relief, since weekends are the hardest. But everything she ate was...

Measurement Day: Waist: 32 Hips: 40.75 Navel: 39.5 Thigh 24.5 Fortunately, RawrGirl is o track to meet mini-goal #1. Only workout day was Monday since she's been feeling under the weather all week. Hopefully a weekend of rest and relaxation will make her all better, and she can go at it hard...

Thanks, Tasi! You are very sweet! Update for yesterday, RawrGirl did indeed work out. Yay. Today is not going so well. RawrGirl couldn't sleep last night, so stayed up reading till after 3AM. Then husband didn't go to work due to snow, so she slept in till 1 PM. Then had to teach, and...

RawrGirl is here with tails between legs as well. Christmas 2012 she reached goal and kept it off till last Spring, then gained most it all back over this past summer, then gained the rest of it over this December. Anyway...back to goal again, hopefully by May. By the way, there is another 2015...

Thanks all for stopping by! So far so good for Day #1. Ate well. Did yoga. Still have to lift weights tho. Am watching Harry Potter with the fam, so hopefully I won't end up not getting around to it. Usually I will be doing it before teaching, but today's schedule was a bit off. Was already...

RawrGirl's Rewards/Motivations for Mini-Goals: RawrGirl's 1st mini-goal: <31 in waist / Feb 6, 2015 -- back into black jeans for Valentines Date Night w/ Prince Charming RawrGirl's 2nd mini-goal: <30 in waist / Mar 6, 2015 -- ??? RawrGirl's 3rd mini-goal: <29 in waist / Apr 3, 2015 -- ...

Okay, RawrGirl is back....now that Christmas and New Years is officially behind her and she is even fatter and sproting a 32.5 inch waist. Not ohly did she not skip drinking, she basically spent the entire month of December not on a diet. Not exactly a binge, mind you, but happily eating...

Thanks for missing RawrGirl! You both are so sweet!!!! RawrGirl is still here, and still on her diet...her measurements and weight just aren't doing ANYTHING. Thus, starting last Monday, she has once again decided to do a Ketogenic diet since that is how she lost the weight last time. Bye-bye...

RawrGirl is still pluggin away at the house. The charity shop picked up 4 boxes and three bags of stuff, so now they are finally out of the living room. Tupperware cabinet is done. And yesterday worked on the spare bedroom that's been nothing but storage. RawrGirl is hoping to have it...

Either Sandra Felton's book -- The New Messies Manual or The House That Cleans Itself by Mindy Starns Clark. Both are excellent and have basically the same advice, and both are written by someone who was once overwhelmed by clutter and learned/taught themselves how to maintain a clean house...

Pretty good, thanks. RawrGirl has been very busy this week. Still working on the house. Homeschooling teenage son. Working. RawrGirl's company is really pushing for year-end sales. *sigh* But eating has been on track, and mostly good at exercise. How have you been?

Without a doubt, keep a measurement record. In reality, they are all that counts. What difference does the scale matter if you fit/look great in clothes!!! Good luck, and it's great to meet you!

Pizza, supreme from the shop right down the road. It is so covered in peppers, onion, mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage that you can't even see the cheese...but the cheese is there, lol. RSo awrGirl eats half, and Prince Charming eats half...and worse still, RawrGirl then dips the crusts in a...

RawrGirl only lost a pound this week...even though her measurements would imply a 2 pound loss (from prior records). Stupid scale. Beavis420 (28lb) lost 2.5blb - 26.5lb to go Lardydah (15lb) lost 3lb - 12lb to go Littlehistorian (14lb) Tootsy (28lb) lost 8lb - 20lb to go BW100 (28lb) Tujours...

So...RawrGirl has worked on house all day...5 hours. Several things checked off her list. Bedroom -- closet, floor, bed, clothes, top of dresser and lightstand, etc. Hall -- boxes of books, cleared/packed tons of clutter on shelf and chest. All the fingerprints around light switches and...

Exactly!

So RawrGirl was very VERY nervous this morning (expecting to see Sonoma/eating carbs) does not result in weight loss, and so she decided to take her measurments first. Thank God she did! -.25 in waist -.25 in hips -.25 in navel -.25 in thigh So all excited, RawrGirl then jumped on the scale...

What did you think of the last episode, Curtain? RawrGirl personally found it very out-of-character for Poirot, particularly because he was so upset to let the "killers" go in Murder on the Orient Express.

House Maintenance: Made Bed Cleaned Kitchen after every meal Vacummed Living Room and Dining Room Cleared coffee table House Organization/Decluttering/Packing: Severeal boxes of books from the den/office Cleared 2 small book shelves in living room

RawrGirl is feeling anxious about weigh-in Friday. She only needs to lose 1.6 pounds per week to make Christmas goal, but the only diet RawrGirl ever lost a decent amount of weight on was Ketogenic, and this time around she is allowing herself to eat carbs. Friday's weigh-in will be the first...

LOL, RawrGirl gets asked this alot. RawrGirl is in love with the character of Hercule Poirot, who often refers to himself in the 3rd person. RawrGirl finds this good fun, and since it would be quite odd to speak that way in real life, she limits herself to Minimins. :D Hercule Poirot: No...

RawrGirl purged the trunk of her car today. The car is new for RawrGirl (it's a 2002), and AMAZINGLY she has kept it spotlessly clean since she got it a few months ago. After being a courrier for 11 years, she practically lived in her car and it would always look like it. And even after she...

RawrGirl should have taken your advice. Scales said 147.4. RawrGirl needs to remember that it doesn't matter what the scale says after the weekend or during the week -- only weigh in day matters. So she will not be getting on again till then. RawrGirl is seriously considering putting the scale...

Believe it or not, RawrGirl HATES fish. But Swai and Tilapia do not taste like fish. They really don't. So since fish is healthy, RawrGirl eats those -- and only those -- two kinds. And yes, orange marmelade does VERY well with mild fist. RawrGirl realized that because she loves Outback...

The kitchen is now complete. RawrGirl spent the last 3 hours scrubbing EVERYTHING -- stove, sinks, refrigerators, backsplash, counters, cabinets. Fortunately, teenage son scrubbed the floor (that's one of his very few weekly chores). And it distracted her from snacking. :D So now, RawrGirl...

Dinner was delicious today. 2 Tilapia burger patties (180) 2 light rolls (160) Sugar Free Marmelade (30) Lettuce Total: 340 calories

Oddly enough, RawrGirl's morning weight was 148. Go figure...Sunday's calories were 1521. So RawrGirl's test weekend to see if she can maintain weight loss appears to not have worked (despite Sat and Sun's weight maintaining). RawrGirl is thinking that she should stay off the scale for the...

Making a Home for Stuff RawrGirl is also packing as she goes of anything that she knows won't be used between now and the mve. And she is taping index cards to the box which list what's in the box, and numbering the boxes and cards, and then keeping another copy of the numbered index in a index...

Progress So Far 2/3 of the Kitchen -- that sounds so strange, lol, but RawrGirl has cleaned and organized the cooking counter and cabinets, and the breakfast bar (which has always been cluttered with clean pots and pans, but can now be used for breakfast and lunch. The 1/3 left is the counter...

She is the founder of Messies Anonymous, and wrote The New Messie Manual, Messies No More, and several other home organization/decluttering books. RawrGirl is undoubtedly a Messie, and has been cleaning and organizing the house as exercise to help her get back to goal. Anyone else find...

Because food is so good....cheese, wine, luscious desserts, fresh pastas, creamy sauces.... And it doesn't help that RawrGirl likes to feel full. She knows you're suppossed to stop eating when you no longer feel hungry...but RawrGirl likes feeling satiated.

Snacks are yummy...esp since RawrGirl discovered Kashi Crisps. They are either made with cheakpeas or black beans instead of potatoes. And they are abut 27 crisps for 120 calories. RawrGirl has had ever flavor save for the lime (she doesn't like lime), and they are all tasty...

Beavis420 (28lb) lost 2.5blb - 26.5lb to go Lardydah (15lb) lost 3lb - 12lb to go Littlehistorian (14lb) Tootsy (28lb) lost 8lb - 20lb to go BW100 (28lb) Tujours (20lb) lost 2lb - 18lb to go Camplestar (42lb) lost 6.2 - 35.8lb to go Doll2142 (14lb) mills1961 (14lb) AAW (5lb) lost .4lb - 4.6lb...

So, RawrGirl is pretty happy with her weekend thus far. Usually, she gains a few pouns (water weight?) which she loses around Tuesday of the following week, and then looks at Wed, Thurs, and Fri's weight to see a new loss. This weekend: Friday Morning's Weight: 147 Friday's Calories: 1548...

RawrGirl is in love with the character of Hercule Poirot, who often refers to himself in the 3rd person. RawrGirl finds this good fun, and since it would be quite odd to speak that way in real life, she limits herself to Minimins. :D Hercule Poirot: No! Lieutenant, you lie to Poirot. You say...

Thanks! RawrGirl is pretty chuffed!

RawrGirl lost 4 pounds, but as that is rather unheard of for her (she only ever loses about .8 - 1.8 a week), she assumes some of that was water weight due to the previously weekend's splurge. But that means RawrGirl's now only needs to lose 1.6lb each week to reach goal by Christams. So as long...

Okay...because RawrGirl was not weighing, she has no real understanding of how much she lost this week. But...her measurements did go down FINALLY! Despite last weekend of eathing half a medium supreme pizza (Fri Night), 1.5 servings of 100% Whole Wheat Ziti made with Skim Ricotta and a bottle...

Last time around (when RawrGirl lost weight and reached goal here at Minimins), she had Prince Charming hide the scale because she got on it every day, even though she only counted Friday morning's weight. And with all past dieting attempts, if she saw a gain or a STS, she ate pizza and...

RawrGirl is in the middle of writing a 7-book Christian supernatural series of history....basically all of world history from the viewpoint of angels and demons. Anyway, in researching for this, she has realized that many Christian doctrines are based on faulty interpreations of the Bible due to...

Sorry, I didn't log in till now (am headed for bed), but it was a rather busy day. RawrGirl works, homeschools, is learning Koinine Greek, and is in the middle of fall cleaning, and reading a diet book and workbook, lol (the Beck Diet Solution, which is about maintaining weight loss by changing...

RawrGirl joined minimins in 2012 and in 4 months reached her goal weight that she'd never been able to in 22 years of dieting. She kept it off for a little over a year, then gained it all back this past summer. She wasn't going to come back here, as she felt like such a failure, so joined a...

Lol, RawrGirl's strength training is not long -- 2 sets of 8-12 reps each. It takes about 2-3 minutes each time. Rather pathetic, and if she doesn't hit 149 by Friday she will have to bump it up quite a few notches. By the way, RawrGirl is very grateful that you're still up and commenting on...

RawrGirl is practially in the same boat as you. Finally managed to get pretty much near/at goal, then ate all summer long (mostly pizza) and gained it back to the point that even her once baggy pants don't fit. :( We can do this though. Somehow or another, lol. It's hard to re-lose weight when...

RawrGirl is pizza addict -- infact, pizza is EXACTLY the reason why RawrGirl finds herself heavy again. But now, she has started making her own on whole wheat flat bread. They actually come out pretty well, the only thing is the serving size -- the Flat Breads are probably about 7 inches in...

Basically the same thing as last time, except not extremely low carbs. So same amount of calories, but this time allowing whole grain breads and pastas. Oh, guess the calories are abit more, because not obsessing over the calories in veggies. Before, since RawrGirl was counting carbs, she had to...

RawrGirl is not surprised at all. Just look at Biggest Loser show -- they work their bums off, and some only lose 2 pounds a week, while others drop 15 or more.

Are you strenght training? I would either add strength training or cut your calories...maybe 1100 during the week, and still 1300 on the weekends, until you're ankle is healed and you can get back to cardio. Hope it heals fast! You are so close to goal, I can imagine that's pretty frustrating. Hugs!

???? She has a broken ankle.

RawrGirl would like to join. She wishes to lose 17lb by Christmas. Weigh-ins on Fridays. Please note that she added everyone's name and losses so far (sorry if she missed someone!), so please copy and paste the most recent version of our stats each time you post/update. Thanks! Beavis420...

Feeling much like you at the moment. Took RawrGirl 22 years of yo-yo dieting before she finally hit goal, kept it off for about a year, then gained it all back this summer. horribly disgusted and frustrated with self. Maybe we can be support mates and encourage each other to get back to goal and...

So RawrGirl bit the bullet and got on the scale. 151.4. :mad::cry::mad::cry: She is hoping beyond hope that Friday morning (measurement day) she will be at least 149, since today she jumped on in the afternoon, and Friday she will get on in the morning. RawrGirl's average weight for 22 years...

Thanks, Blue Cow. Am trying, but it is hard. RawrGirl has a wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit, but instead of that inspiring her it just makes her more discouraged...because all those clothes fit her only months ago. After 22 years of trying to lose about 20-30 pounds and only ever...

RawrGirl has a wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit, but at the moment even that can't inspire her...because all those clothes fit her only months ago. After 22 years of trying to lose about 20-30 pounds and only ever losing and gaining the same 10 over and over and then finally hit goal...

RawrGirl is VERY angry. And wants to cry.:cry: Date Jan 2010 Jul 2012 Aug 24* 2012 Nov 16 2012 Dec 21 2012 Jan 2013 thru Feb 2014 Feb 2014 thru Sept 2014 Sept 12 2014 Oct 31 2014 Jan 4 2015 ** Jan 9 2015 Jan 16 2015 Jan 23 2015 Jan 30 2015 Feb 6 2015 Feb 13 2015 Feb 20 2015 Feb 27 2015 Mar 6...

Anyone here following the Sonoma diet? It's a weight loss version of the Meditteranean diet (healhty eating), but there is no counting of anything, it's just portion-controlled (eat breakfast on 7-inch plate, lunch and dinner on 9 inch plate, no second helpings) and focuses on whole grain...

So RawrGirl figured she should drop by and check in. She has no abandoned her weight loss goals, she just hasn't been on much. Currently, she is 133.2, but her waist is 28.5 so that makes her happy. Her diet is a bit different this time (she was sick of dieting for weeks in ketosis, eating carbs...

Welcome to all. my1dogleah -- I added your name, but need to know how much you want to lose to add your stats (or you can copy and paste the list in a reply and add them yourself). Anyone else who joins, feel free to copy and paste the list in a reply, then add your name and goals/stats. :)...

Bedroom Makeover Well, RawGirl gained a ridiculous amount of weight over the holidays. Her pants that were baggy pre-Thanksgiving are now quite snug and her waist is up 3 inches. Thus, she refuses to get on the scale or it will only discourage her. So, she took out the battery and put it in...

In lieu of a January challenge (since no one started one), is anyone interested in a Valentines Day challenge? It gives us an extra few weeks to lose the Christmas weight gain, plus is a nice motivator if you are doing something special. RawrGirl refuses to get on the scale to see how much she...

RawrGirl is still here, she just didn't post her WI weight. 128.6. So she didn't reach 127 by holiday (she leaves in an hour), and of course, she ate a little bit of carbs over the weekend so nasty scale is now saying 134 again. But she knows it's water weight because her waist is still hovering...

Hi Champagne! I haven't been on much for a lot time either. Weigh-in today and RawrGirl missed seeing 129.9 by a bloodly .3 pounds. O well, she is very happy with her 2 pound loss. If the holidays weren't coming up, she could reach her goal of 119 by Christmas. But between going away for...

Way to go Escapade!!! And Welcome Manda72! RawrGirl lost exactly 2 pounds...if it had only been 2.3, she would have seen 129.9. *sigh* But she is still chuffed with the loss! RawrGirl -- 7 pounds (3.8 down, 3.2 to go) HotSue67 -- 7 pounds Escapade -- 14 pounds (8 down, 6 to go) Manda72 -- 7 pounds

Yay...people! Glad you joined!!!

Good for you, tweekedgirl! That is awesome!!!! RawrGirl is not doing so well, and is back on minimins to lose the weight she gained over August holiday just in time to go on a November holiday. *sigh*

RawrGirl bit the bullet and updated her profile to show her weight gain. *sigh* At least today was weigh-in, and she was 132.2 (rather than 134ish). Prince Charming and her are doing a semi-protein shake diet. She says semi, because the original goal was to drink all shakes, but they are eating...

No one wants to join RawrGirl? She is here all alone...by herself... RawrGirl -- 7 pounds (1.8 down, 5.2 to go)

RawrGirl is in the same boat. Lost almost 50 lbs, and was fluctuating between 129-134,and now 134-139. And because she doesn't feel fat anymore, and can wear nice clothes, the motivation to not eat treats on the weekend is almost nill. And now Christmas is almost here, and RawrGirl weighs more...

RawrGirl wants to lose 1 stone 1 pound by Christmas which would put her at goal. And of course, she will promptly gain it all back over the holiday. *sigh* PS -- Don't be discouraged over 2 pound weight loss. That's the max one should lose each week after the initial week. RawrGirl lost even...

RawrGirl has waited all week for a November Challenge to come up, but that hasn't been one, so...she decided to create one herself. She would like to be 127 or less by Nov 26 (when she leaves for holiday). Actually, she would like to be 122, but that is probably unrealistic as she is about...

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! RawrGirl is not doing so well. Ever since holiday the first week of August she cannot seem to get under 133, let alone back to 129. And today (weigh-in day) she is 135.6. Very frustrating as last week she was 133.4 (the lowest since holiday). She is beginning...

Look what RawrGirl bought this weekend!!!! RawrGirl is tired of every time she goes on a holiday or has a Christams break, she gains 10 pounds. She and Prince Charming went away for one week -- RawrGirl left at 129 pounds, and a month later and she is still up 5 pounds on Friday's mornings...

Well, RawrGirl ended up going out of Ketosis over the weekend (she had fried, breaded chicken fingers and onion rings for lunch Sunday, and 3 small slices of pizza for dinner). Apparently, that was way too much food, because a week later, and RawrGirl is still up 2 pounds...despite sticking to...

Lost 2lbs this week. Yay! bethmaj - 10lbs (2 lost 8 to go) - walk for at least 30 minutes each day. Camplestar - 14lbs (0 lost 14 to go) - look good every day. darrenkaye - 12 lbs (7.0 lost 5 to go) - keep at it 100% every day! eiregal - 16lb (0 lost 16 to go) - walk for 40 mins each day...

Yay -- RawrGirl did it! She woke up this morning and scale said 128.4 (her goal was 128.2 for 2 lbs lost this week). She waited a few hours, without eating or drinking anything, and finally the scale went down another .2. Yay -- she can finally have breakfast!

Weigh-in tomorrow. :eek: RawrGirl already peeked at the scale this morning (she peeked every morning this week, actually), and it said 129.4. She hasn't seen 129 anything since May 17th, but her goal for this week was 128.2 -- a 2 lb lost from last week. Not sure if that is going to happen...

RawrGirl is baking again tomorrow (TGIF!) so she will post the recipe then. And the name of the sweetener is WheyLow (Sugar Made Healthy! Whey Low Natural Sweetener). She bought the 10 pound bag this time since it worked so well, which saves money. And they do ship to the UK! The white sugar...

RawrGirl thinks that you should be quite proud of yourself for earning your Master's Degree. Sometimes it's very hard to concentrate on two major things like that at one time. RawrGirl has noticed that in her own life. She does understand how you feel though. She refused to shower with Prince...

Hello and welcome! Has has your first week been?

Well, RawrGirl did awesome last week. Friday's weight was 130.2. This Friday she is hoping to see 128.2. She joined the July Challenge in the hopes of finally reaching 50 pounds loss (122), so she will need to lose 2 pounds per week to make it. RawrGirl made an awesome discovery this past...

Hey, RawrGirl would like to join. bethmaj - 10lbs (2 lost 8 to go) - walk for at least 30 minutes each day. Camplestar - 14lbs (0 lost 14 to go) - look good every day. darrenkaye - 12 lbs (3.5 lost 8.5 to go) - keep at it 100% every day! eiregal - 16lb (0 lost 16 to go) - walk for 40 mins...

RawrGirl has failed miserably as far as reaching goal or even maintaining. For awhile there, she was 129 every Friday, and 134 every Monday due to weekend splurges...but she hasn't seen 129 since May 17th. Last Friday, she was 131, the lowest she's seen in awhile, but Monday she was 139...

All right, I suppose. Weight was 126 Friday morning. Not too bad considering everything going on. Last weekend entertained for friends but Monday morning cut out all carbs full stop (save for veggies, of course). Tested for Ketosis on Thursday and stick was quite mauve, so was pleased. Am...

Congrats! Copy and paste the most recent list and then update your stats. :)

So how did the first day go? Did you enjoy it?

RawrGirl did not do as planned. she was good all Friday through Saturday, baked her own low-carb crackers to make eat with pepperoni and cheese slices and stayed away from all things sugar, and then Sunday after chruch friends wanted to do to a pizzaria and well, the only low-carb choice...

Sounds fun. Have a great weekend!

Thankfully, RawrGirl resisted this week. She not only didn't eat the free desserts all week, but she successfully kept her carbs low and probably hit Ketosis by Thursday. She also has yummy meals and snacks planned for this weekend that are all low or no carb, so that will help her get through...

So sorry you feeling ill. Hope you feel better soon. And as you already look fab, you have no worries for the wedding. :) xx

Yay -- almost lost the re-gain! Am 126.6 instead of 129. :) dextermummy - 14lb (4 lost, 10lb to go) marier1986 - 14lb (1 lost, 13lb to go) nicolae - 8lb (0 lost, 8lb to go) Bigbluepenguin - 14lb (0 lost, 14lb to go) Emmie - 8lb (2 lost, 6 to go) SamathaJones - 14lbs (0 lost, 14lbs to go)...

Of course you can join! RawrGirl's weight this morning was 126.6. Over the weekend, she came in at 134, though she knew that included some water bloat, which is shy she claimed 129 as her starting weight. She is quite pleased as that is only 1 pound over her last Minimins update. She also...

Are you not getting on the scale until then? RawrGirl hasn't decided yet whether to weigh-in every week, or wait until goal date.

Congrats! RawrGirl considers hers an epic fail, lol -- no yoga, some losses but regained them right back. Didn't mean to criticize anyone, just knew that alot of people (including self) weren't happy with the results.

dextermummy - 14lb (4 lost, 10lb to go) marier1986 - 14lb (0 lost, 14lb to go) nicolae - 8lb (0 lost, 8lb to go) Bigbluepenguin - 14lb (0 lost, 14lb to go) Emmie - 8lb (2 lost, 6 to go) SamathaJones - 14lbs (0 lost, 14lbs to go) tweekedgirl - 2.5lbs (0 lost, 2.5lbs to go) Madmuppet - 10lbs(0...

Well, Easter dinner was lovely...will post pics later. But as far as weight loss goes, RawrGirl had a horrid week... It all started at her new job where if you buy a coffee, you get a free dessert. Why oh why did RawrGirl indulge? She was supposed to only allow herself the free dessert on...

As requested, RawrGirl started the Operation Skinny Summer thread. http://www.minimins.com/challenges-weight-loss-otherwise/312832-operation-skinny-summer.html We can do this!

The Newest Team Skinny Challenge is now up: Operation Skinny Summer -- http://www.minimins.com/challenges-weight-loss-otherwise/312832-operation-skinny-summer.html The Lose It With Lent Challenge may have been an epic fail for many of us, but we can still reach our goals!!! We can look good...

This thread was titled by the brilliant Squishy McFatterson and is dedicated to all those looking to reach goal by Summer 2013. RawrGirl is choosing her goal date as May 17th as she is going camping that weekend and wishes to look good in shorts for the first time in her life (as well as indulge...

RawrGirl did something today she has not done since September when she first joined Minimins and began this (final?) weight loss journey -- she ate junkfood during the week. (This is of course with the exception of Christmas vacation.) RawrGirl never eats junkfood (sugar) during the week. But at...

Even Jillian mentioned in an interview that you should give your body a day's rest in-between weight lifting session but that it was a promotional thing for the video.

Congratulations!!! So happy for you! Totally understand about getting down over tight finances. It was getting pretty dire here, too. That is so awesome that we both got the job we wanted. :)

My brother used to have an apartment like that and he got an electric stovetop burner so he could cook. And if you bought two, you could pretty much cook whatever you wanted. Or just one plus a foreman grill type thing for your meat. Either one will open so many possibilities for you...

Loads of us have done it. Come join the 30 day shred challenge thread: http://www.minimins.com/fitness-exercise/297321-anyone-up-30-day-shred-challenge.html

(((((Squishy))))) Hello dear friend! Have you heard back from the job yet? So hope you get it! RawrGirl def understands the frustration of finding the perfect job and then not getting it. She finally got a job -- she actually was passed over for the job she wanted, hired for a job she didn't...

RawrGirl is right there with you, Nettee. She hasn't done yoga at all, and not even lifted weights until this week due to being sick. One week she gained .2, but considered that STS, which she would really consider a .5 gain as well. Maintaining your weight is an accomplishment unto itself, so...

Finally RawrGirl has been feeling better and has worked out the last 3 days in a row. Yay! She felt like she was sick for so long, and was really starting to get depressed. Glad that is over! She's been feeling very positive lately, and is looking forward to Easter Sunday, when she is hosting a...

RawrGirl has not done yoga/stretching for 2 weeks. She has either been sick or depressed (for various reasons), but is hoping to get back on track next week. Overall, she is very happy with her .8 pound loss this week. :) Squishy McFatterson (5.8lb lost, 10.4lb to go) (Giving up Chocolate...

For being sick and not working out all week, RawrGirl is happy with her .8lb loss. :) Emmie - 8lbs (4.5lb lost 3.5lb to go) Dextermummy - 12 (6 lost 6 to go)4:/9 Diamonddoll - 14 (2.5 lost 11.5 to go) *steph* - 8 (0 lost 8 to go) Newmummi - 0lbs lost 14 to go Polyanna - 8lbs (0 lost 8 to go)...

RawrGirl has no idea how. but...she lost a pound this week. 125.4. She was honestly expecting a 1 - 1.5 pound gain. This has just totally been the icing on her cake for today. Prince Charming got paid today, not only was it a 3-week pay period (instead of the usual two-week), but he had quite a...

RawrGirl has felt like blah all week. And even though she finally felt somewhat better yesterday, her throat still hurt when she woke up and she still feels tired all the time. Needless to say, no exercise all week. Have no idea what the scales verdict will be, but she thinks it's very doubtful...

126.4. RawrGirl will assume that's a STS, which is actually pretty good considering the fact that she ate alot last weekend, was sick most of the week so didn't exercise, and basically ate normal all week (non-diet, just normal meals made with mostly low-carb and/or lowish-fat ingrediants in my...

So RawrGirl has an interview in about an hour. It's an administrative assistant position that could grow into office manager. She owns one suit, and it is absolutely beautiful. And it doesn't fit. The suit coat looks like a box, and the pants are so loose they pool around her ankles...

Thanks. RawrGirl is sure her luck will not last. She is usually a very slow loser. 2 years ago doing WW and jogging 3 miles 5x a week and all she'd lose was .2 or .4 lbs a week. Her diet is about 1000 calories a day, and she does weights at least 2x a week (usually 4-6), and even when not in...

Awesome!

Play dress up in your closet. That always helps RawrGirl see it when she starts feeling like a blob.

Emmie - 8lbs (0 lost 8 to go) Dextermummy - 12 (0 lost 12 to go) Diamonddoll - 14 (0 lost 14 to go) *steph* - 8 (0 lost 8 to go) Newmummi - 0lbs lost 14 to go Polyanna - 8lbs (0 lost 8 to go) tweekedgirl - 4lbs (0 lost 4 to go) Abyss - 14 lb (0 lost 14 to go) Lynnie4 - 8 lb (0 lost 8 to go)...

126.2. RawrGirl didn't quite meet her Fabulous February Challenge goal of 125, but it appears her body loses about 1 pound each week no matter what she does -- in Ketosis, out-of-Ketosis, exercise, don't exercise, behave on weekends, don't behave. It's very odd. But as long as she keeps losing...

Congrats!!!

But not everyone (including RawrGirl) can stick to that for so many days/weeks. That is amazing.

WOW!!! Congrats!!!! Squishy is amazing!

So managed to stay in Ketosis all weekend, despite a baby shower with lots of yummy goodies and of all things chocolate cake with a chocolate mouse layer. *sigh* But RawrGirl was good and passed on anything with carbs. :) Then she discovered how to make scones with her low-carb flour (she had...

Lol, only dieters have food ADD. So how did the weigh-in go? Don't keep us in suspense!

RawrGirl forgot we were tracking our losses here. She is now updated. :) Squishy McFatterson (0lb lost, 16.2lb to go) (Giving up Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Sweets and Biscuits) RawrGirl (1.6lb lost, 5.4lb to go) (Taking up Flexibility/Yoga) Little Miss Diet (0 lost, 14lbs to go) (giving up sweet...

Glad to see you back at pre-Berlin weight. It took RawrGril 6 weeks also to get back to pre-Christmas weight. Frusrating, but at least we stuck it out and did it! :) Awesome job with the gym. So nice to be so close to it.

Lost 1.6. There is hope for RawrGirl yet! :) Chuffy_29 11lbs (11.25lbs lost, 0lbs to go) Target Met :D Madmuppet 12lbs (10lbs lost, 2lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Xianaleigh 10lb (8lb lost, 2lbs to go) RawrGirl 5.6lb (3.2 lbs lost, 2.4 lbs to go) Niny 8lbs (0 lost, 8lbs to...

RawrGirl is chuffed. Scale says 127.4. She has no idea how that is even possible considering everything she ate last weekend and only lifting weights Wed and Thurs. She honestly was fearing a gain and just hoping to have maintained. Hopefully this will motivate her to get going strong. :)

You were trying to quit smoking and friends were pushing cigarettes on you???

Wow...3.5 is alot! Congrats!

Ah. You are much braver than RawrGirl. She is SOOOOO unflexible she would never be caught dead in a yoga class. Mortification to the extreme, lol. RawrGirl's lent goal is to be able to touch her toes. She has no idea if that is realistic or not in that time period, but that is her goal. Here's a...

Goose, RawrGirl can't wear a bikini either...until she can get surgery done on post-pregnancy pooch (folds and folds of wrinkly, excess skin :cry:). That's why she picked this swimsuit...sexy yet still covers. Of course there will be a belly bulge, but she's hoping that in this suit no one will...

Thanks you two! Wow, RawrGirl has never been compared to Julia Roberts before, lol. Yea, she was looking at before and afters yesterday...the difference is really dramatic. She can't believe how horrid she looked before. She thinks 129 is her maximum buffer zone...which means she really needs...

Bangs So lately RawrGirl's been feeling self-conscious, so she decided to give herself some bangs. Normally she would just go into the loo all frustrated and start hacking away and then feel even worse. Amazingly, she forced herself to watch a YouTube video on how to do it, and is quite pleased...

RawrGirl is content/happy with her weight if winter were just approaching. But this bod isn't going in a scanty swimsuit, lol.

Expensive? RawrGirl just does a DVD. All you need is a mat if you don't have carpet, and a stretch band is nice for the unflexible (ie RawrGirl), but optional.

RawrGirl is wondering if she should go back into Ketosis/VLCD. She is just maintaining lately...eating too much on weekends and not working out anymore. *sigh* Where did her motivation go??? Good job with the VLCD. RawrGirl has a baby shower this weekend and possibly a get together with...

RawrGirl is doing horrible so far. Does 30 seconds to 2 minutes of stretching her hamstrings right before bed after exclaiming, "oh fudge, I forgot to stretch again!" count?

Updated self and Pink Mummy. Only lost .2 last week. Doesn't look too good. :( Chuffy_29 11lbs (7.75lbs lost, 3.25lbs to go) Madmuppet 12lbs (10lbs lost, 2lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Xianaleigh 10lb (8lb lost, 2lbs to go) RawrGirl 5.6lb (1.6 lbs lost, 4 lbs to go) Niny...

RawrGirl has not been here in forever. *sigh* While banned, she started playing Lego LOTR. RawrGirl is NOT a video game person, but can be talked into anything LOTR, lol. Suffice it to say, ALL that RawrGirl has done (other than Spring clean her house) over the last 2 weeks, is play Lego LOTR...

Lol. RawrGirl is much appreciative!

RawrGirl is just reposting so the thread pops up on her subscribed list. :) Squishy McFatterson (0lb lost, 15.2lb to go) (Giving up Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Sweets and Biscuits :sigh2:) RawrGirl (0lb lost, 7lb to go) (Taking up Flexibility/Yoga) Little Miss Diet (0 lost, 14lbs to go) (giving...

Wow, this is odd. Squishy is going back on VLCD and RawrGirl is attempting to just count calories. Hope that decision doesn't backfire in RawrGirl's face. At least she is keeping the scale around for another week. If she gains, she will go back to dieting (low-carb). She must admit, eating carbs...

Thanks! I will post last week's calorie chart later today. Right now, am supposed to be cleaning the kitchen cupboards, lol.

Good job, Nettee!!! RawrGirl will never make, lol. She is feeling very lazy lately.

RawrGirl is back -- yay!!!! :D And since most people probably missed it...drum roll, please...RawrGirl is finally back down to her pre-Christmas weight of 129!!!

Have fun at roller derby!

RawrGirl didn't realize she hadn't logged in my minutes in 5 days. She's exercised every single day except today. RawrGirl: 750 min weights -- 450 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 8hr 5 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min...

Not quite there yet...currently 130.6...hopefully by Friday, though it won't last long (Valentines Buffet Banquet on Saturday and Italian Restaurant on Sunday.

So happy to hear you like your dress...and that is wonderful incentive! :) RawrGirl needs to find some upcoming incentive herself...bathing suit season feels quite far away with all the snow on the ground. Ah...pancakes...so yummy. Eat and savor one for carb-less RawrGirl. :)

RawrGirl did not end up going to Superbowl party as it snowed...and in a way, she is relieved, as it meant no temptation, and she is mostly on track for the week (weekend eating was slightly higher than it was supposed to be, but nothing she can't make up for during the week). 129 (or less!)...

RawrGirl would like to join...her weigh-in day is Friday, so her final weigh-in for the February challenge will be Friday, March 1st Chuffy_29 11lbs (0lbs lost, 11lbs to go) Madmuppet 12lbs (0lbs lost, 12lbs to go) *joanne* 10lbs (0lbs lost, 10lbs to go) Xianaleigh 10lb (0lb lost, 10lbs to...

Hi, was just wondering what the half century type 1-5 badges were and if I qualified for one when I hit goal (total weight loss of 50 pounds). Thanks.

Weigh-In & Measurement Day So...somehow RawrGirl actually managed to lose weight this week...1.2 pounds...despite her 2-day, 7, 000 calorie binge over the weekend (which means she didn't get back into Ketosis until yesterday). She is very chuffed, as she assumes this mean a weekend binge won't...

Amazingly, despite a 2-day 7,000 calorie binge last weekend, and not getting back into Ketosis till yesterday, RawrGirl managed to lose 1.2 pounds. Chuffed! So only need to lose 1.6 pounds to FINALLY be 129 again. :D RawrGirl (7.8 lbs down, 1.6 lbs to go) Greta (7lbs down, 1lbs to go) Clanger72...

Yes, it's been really hard since Christmas. RawrGirl can't believe she isn't back to 129 yet. Very frustrating. Bridesmaid dress shopping sounds fun. Keep in mind that 10 pounds is about equivalent to a dress size, so you may want to go one size lower than what fits right now if you know you...

Low sugar (and low carbs) should really help. If you want tips (RawrGirl personally was gutted and desperate back when doing WW and barely losing anything despite 100% on plan and jogging 3 miles a day 5x a week), you can try the following. If you don't, ignore the rest of this post. :p Keep...

RawrGirl had an amazing skating session today! She actually perfectly did a inside 3-turn which means as soon as she can afford a coaching session, she can pass Gamma and Delta. Woo-hoo! Then she can finally start on FreeStyle where you actually start practicing the moves people think of when...

Brain over Binge sounds very familiar. RawrGirl thinks she borrowed that from the library a few weeks back. Today she borrowed Crave: Why You Binge Eat and How to Stop and Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.

RawrGirl also just read through your diary, and hope everything (with wiegh-in and OH) goes okay. Will be checking back to see how you are doing. (((((hugs)))))

Awesome!!!

Sounds like RawrGirl's weekend...though hopefully you didn't eat as much as her (4000 calories Sat / 3000 cal Sun). Also going super strict on calories till Friday. :sigh:

Really had to push self to workout today, but did it. Yay. RawrGirl: 750 min weights -- 350 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 7hr 35 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min walking done, 15 min DanceStar done

ROFL. Love it! When you reach goal, you'll have to take up kickboxing to defend yourself. :D

Where is friend squishy??? We miss her!

Keep your net carbs (carbs minus fibre) at around 20-25, and get around 80 grams of protein in a day and lift weights. That is the fastest way to lose weight (keep your overall calories to around 800-1200). Focus more on weights than cardio. 20 minutes of weight lifting may burn less total...

You could also do a shoot in your dress (and have it taken in) at a park or some beautiful setting. RawrGirl thought about doing that as she was quite depressed over it for awhile. But now (2+ years later and almost at goal), it doesn't bother her as much and she has some wedding photos she...

Will keep fingers crossed for you!

Good news about the OT...hope that works out for you. Anxiety sucks.

RawrGirl is ending the day at 557 calories (she usually eats 800-1000), and she worked out today....just frustrating because her average daily calories for this week will be 1500+ whereas usually they are 1057, so she's not sure if she will lose weight this week. Worse, she may gain. But...

Swimsuit RawrGirl is thinking of getting this swimsuit. She'd much rather wear a bikini but even at goal her belly without surgery must be hidden. :( So anyway, she wanted to try to find a sexy one-piece instead of a "hiding" one-piece. What do you all think? Of course, RawrGirl needs to...

That would be awesome, actually...RawrGirl was going to ask about that, but figured it wouldn't be right. She wants to add flexibility training/stretching to her routine. Yay!

Wow...3000 minutes of strength training??? RawrGirl is amazing! RawrGirl: 120 min cardio, 750 min weights -- 42 min cardio done, 325 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 7hr 35 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min walking...

Wow...not being able to sleep it off...RawrGirl would have been half dead.

Just gave them a listen...thanks!

RawrGirl still has no idea what to give up...her daily meals are so consistent with so little variety that giving something up would really wreak havoc with her diet, and she thinks end up causing her to feel totally deprived and frustrated. *sigh* Poor Squishy! (((((((hugs))))))) RawrGirl is...

Fingers crossed!

Well, RawrGirl pleased herself...instead of buying 2 pizzas (and eating 3-4 slices), she bought 1 pizza and only ate 2 slices. (Of course, she then ate 2 bread sticks, but we won't mention that). And now she is going to split the chocolate cake with Prince Charming. And after that, all the...

So, yea, RawrGirl had total epic fail yesterday at a potluck social event. Not only did she eat passed the point of full, but then she came home and kept eating. Snacking on this, snacking on that, and then about half hour before she went to bed, decided she wanted real food, and heated up...

Hey Sweetie. RawrGirl feels your pain. She is a major binge eater too. :( This is the first time in 14 years that she's ever come close to her goal weight...and she binged liked mad last night (4000 calories). Somehow we need to beat this...and figure out what is at the root of it. :sigh:

RawrGirl: 120 min cardio, 750 min weights -- 42 min cardio done, 3000 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 7hr 0 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min walking done, 15 min DanceStar done RawrGirl had epic fail this weekend...

Complete and Total Epic Fail So RawrGirl thinks she consumed around 4000 calories yesterday. And when all is said and done today, she will have consumed a little over 3000. Why does RawrGirl continue to eat even after she is full??? :( The only positive here is that RawrGirl ensured she...

Aww, you are so sweet. Thanks!

Diet/Binge Mentality RawrGirl had a very frustrating morning. First not losing what she'd hoped, then trying to decide what to eat tonight for dinner -- go over calories? eat carbs? both? And she had to go to the shop for food for birthday party tomorrow, she is making Elmo cupcakes. First...

RawrGirl: 120 min cardio, 750 min weights -- 42 min cardio done, 250 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 5hr 50 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min walking done, 15 min DanceStar done

1.6 down. RawrGirl supposes that's not that bad since her only exercise was two weight sessions due to being sick...but was really hoping last week's no loss was really water and she would see 2 week's worth of loss...but obviously not. *shrug* RawrGirl (6.6 lbs down, 2.8 lbs to go) Greta (7lbs...

So RawrGirl lost 1.6 pounds. She guesses she should be happy with that considering that her only exercise this week was 2 weight sessions due to be sick. Date Dec 21 Dec 31 Jan 4 Jan 9 Jan 18 Jan 25 Feb 1 Goal Weight 129 140? 138? 135? 133.4 131.8 129 Waist 27.5 29.25 28.75 28.25 28.25...

RawrGirl has decided to weigh in tomorrow. After not losing last week, she is very anxious...and if it doesn't show a loss for this week either, she is going to be quite depressed and wondering what the h*ll is the problem, esp as she isn't even back to pre-Christmas weight. She could see a...

Jogging was always RawrGirl's cardio of choice, but she didn't lose very much...even when doing 3 miles 5x a week while on WW. Finally after frustrating the h*ll out of herself, she quit WW, gave up cardio, cut her calories and carbs and just focused on strength training with heavyish...

Congratulations...you are doing awesome!

Dilemma So RawrGirl has a dilemma: birthday party Saturday night with lots of her friends (for cutest 2 year old boy ever!). It's a potluck, and people have posted they are bringing things like lasagna and baked mac-n-cheese, etc. There will be a 7-layer taco dip with chips, which RawrGirl...

You will get there. Try to hang in there during the rough patches -- it ends up making the biggest difference.

No, you are not mad. Well, maybe...but you are def not alone in your madness, lol. And RawrGirl can TOTALLY relate to the horrible mirror/treadmill thing. That combination must have been demonically inspired.

RawrGirl: 120 min cardio, 750 min weights -- 42 min cardio done, 225 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 5hr 20 min done TweekedGirl: 60 min Kettlebell, 450 min walking, 450 min DanceStar -- 2 min Kettlebell done, 20 min walking done, 15 min DanceStar done Sore from yesterday's new upperbody...

Well done, Greta and Berry Berry! If RawrGirl's waist is down, she will ask Prince Charming for the scale tomorrow. Actually, he will already be getting the scale since he needs to weigh-in, so if RawrGirl's measurements are down, she will jump on to. Otherwise, she will just get depressed and...

It is hard...so very hard. RawrGirl has noticed that she is still very much addicted to food, or rather, addicted to overeating, just because it's there. And while she is not overeating due to the diet, she knows mentally that nothing has changed. And she needs to figure out how to change that...

RawrGirl finally felt well enough to work out, so she did her new weight routine. Still no cardio though...she's actually thinking of dropping the cardio portion of a bit. We shall see. RawrGirl: 120 min cardio, 750 min weights -- 42 min cardio done, 200 min weights done Nettee: 15 hrs - 4hr 45...

You could just adjust the goal like RawrGirl did when she too came to her senses. She was originally trying to lose 11 pounds. RawrGirl (5 lbs down, 4lbs to go) Greta (2lbs down, 5lbs to go) Clanger72 (6lbs down, 1lb to go) Nettee (5lb down, 2lbs to go) Squishy (1.6lb down, 8lb to go) XJ-esX...

Is it just RawrGirl's comp, cuz she can't find the original post by 'weightlosscoach' anywhere. She's just reading along, catching up on friend Squishy's diary, and all of a sudden Squishy is :flamingmad: and RawrGirl is like :eek:

RawrGirl is on facebook, but she doesn't mention weight loss stuff too much. Rather private about that. Though I wouldn't care if you messaged me about weight loss stuff.

Hi Lynn, just spent the day reading your diary, and very much enjoyed it. It seems to just drop off though, and so was wondering how you were/are and if you have another diary. Hope you are doing lovely.

Pre-Maintenance Well, RawrGirl has decided that she thinks she will need to do a pre-maintenance diary before she officially moves on to her RawrGirl's Team Skinny Maintenance Diary. She has noticed recently that when she wants food, she's been saying things like, "oh, I'll eat that when I am...

ROFL

Congrats, Squishy! Anyone decide what they are giving up for lent yet? RawrGirl is having a pretty hard time trying to think of something.

Super congratulations! :)

So RawrGirl was really craving food all weekend, really wanted pizza and other comfort foods cuz she wasn't feeling well, and because she was down about the stupid scale. But after much mental deliberation (might as well eat whatever you want, you didn't lose weight anyway, you don't feel well...

hey, quite a few people have picked up the 30 day Shred challenge thead, so I added your name to the list. The last you logged on there you had done 6, so if you have done more, you'll need to update your log. Great job on not snacking. RawrGirl is sick, and as usual she hasn't lost her...

As a lot of the original people who started this challenge have completed this and/or moved onto a different challenge thread, RawrGirl has updated the stats to reflect those who are currently participating just so that you're not having to keep copying and pasting people who aren't here. And...

Since RawrGirl's phone doesn't let her do screenshots, and since MFP doesn't include everything RawrGirl would want to track anyway, she spent her day designing this: Note that this is just a sample and is NOT RawrGirl's past week. She will start using this chart Monday. :) PS -- she will be...

Thanks!

Awww...you are so sweet!

RawrGirl will miss you!!!

RawrGirl is still sick, but it doesn't seem like the flu, thank goodness. But def too weak for exercise. :( Have fun at lunch/movie!

Well, it is official. The week RawrGirl kept the scale, she didn't lose any weight. Go figure. And it's now obvious, that RawrGirl is not going to lose 11 pounds over the next 3 weeks, so as long as no one minds, she is changing her team skinny goal to 129 (pre-Christmas weight / 4 lbs to go)...

RawrGirl is sick, so no exercise yesterday. Yesterday's weight: 133.4 (last Friday's weight). Today's weight: 133.8. So yea, the week RawrGirl decides to keep the evil demon scale in the hopes they can be friends, it's true nastiness comes through. RawrGirl is now forced to change her goal...

Congrats! That's a great loss!

Good for you! RawrGirl looked at your stats the other day and was wondering why you were trying so hard for 3 pounds when she saw that your goal was the nice even number of 120, which made sense to her feminine mind. On the other hand, enjoying life and not struggling/dieting all the time is...

Wow...RawrGirl is way to lazy to have done all that. Hats off to you!

2 years ago when RawrGirl was going to WW on Friday mornings, her weight on Fridays was always heavier than her weight on Wed, which makes no sense whatsoever, but she eventually just started going to Wednesday meetings even though it was no where near as convenient. All this stress has taught...

There's no point on hiding the scale tomorrow if RawrGirl is getting on it Friday. The whole point was to actually see what an average week of weight loss and body fluctuations looked like...just ironically, RawrGirl isn't losing this week (unless a miracle happens over the next 48 hours.) But...

Why do you weight at night after you eat? Most people weigh first thing in the morning sans clothes.

That's amazingly realistic -- you can do it!!!

RawrGirl's weight AND measurements are up! She has no idea what is going on. She's hoping that she is just somehow retaining water (esp as she hasn't been drinking very much lately), but feel like that is wishful thinking. Anyway, she is going to drink tons of water over the next 48 hours, then...

Hurrah for you!!! That is amazing! :party0011: Go Nettee!!! RawrGirl has no idea what is going on with her. Her weight and measurements are up! :cry:

Lol, what difference does that make??? Your waist is smaller.

Squishy doesn't like Burger King??? RawrGirl thinks this is the first thing we don't have in common, lol. 42 minute run is amazing...no wonder you are so skinny!

So this morning, the evil demon scales said 134.6. On Friday last, they said 133.4...so RawrGirl is still wondering how they are going to suddenly say 131.4 or less in only 2 days. However, she will take her measurements as well on Friday, and compare them to her chart, and if her measurements...

Because England is awesome...the Inklings were English, the accent is sexy, the people are proper and sophisticated and elegant, etc.

Prince Charming has been going in late the last two days (one of the work trucks in the shop), so that has messed with RawrGirl's eating/working out schedule. Things look like they may be back to normal tomorrow. Unfortunately, RawrGirl does not like carrots. Or Celery. The worst thing is, she...

So RawrGirl finally went skating today (first time since the blow up with ex-pair partner). He doesn't go on Tuesdays, so RawrGirl still hasn't seen him. If she goes tomorrow she will though. Hmmm. So, first night of cooking "diet" for Prince Charming was a great success. Made him a Creamy...
