Ughh. So i went to the Mandarin this evening to pig out, which is exactly what i did. I'm pretty sure i've gained back every ounce that i lost in previous weeks, but Thursday will tell. I have been eating quite well and have been going to the gym religiously 5 times a week, doing at least 45 minutes of cardio and lifting weights. I'll admit i've been rather lax with the weights but i have done them. I feel like it's all for nothing really. I've been going to the gym for years now and i'm still looking the same. There was one time last year where i lost 30 pounds and looked great.....not sure how the hell i did that though. Seems to not be working this go around. I've even been eating healthier and cutting out on the booze. This is where i get discouraged and feel like a big fat slob, like nothing is working :(
Signed,
Big Bertha

Ash and I are challenging eachother to a Biggest Loser style weight loss competition and we want you to see all the trash talk as it happens. Here's how to calculate: Week 1: 175 lbs Week 2: 170 lbs; percent: (175-170)/175 = 2.9% Week 3: 175 lbs; percent: (170-175)/175= -2.9% Week 4: 172 lbs; percent is NOT (175-172)/175 = 1.7%; the actual percent should be (X-172)/X = (170-172)/170 = -1.2%.

Hey Fat Cow, perhaps you are not loosing weight because you keep eating at the Mandarin.
As for the knee, it's really aching after my stint at the gym tonight, I'm going to rub some A535 on it and go to bed.
I hope that smug bastard Yrautca doesn't win!
On the other hand, I'd love to see the look on his face when he opens his mail and finds your disgusting underwear in there!
Ladies, ladies, lets not get crazy here.
You dont need to do anything to put stress on your joints. Do elliptical or cycle. I dont want you ladies to damage your knees on a treadmill. As a side note, a couple of sweaty pics will set me up for life. Please enterain me.
btw what happened to the fatty acid called PP. She didnt want to join after all, eh? what a chicken!!!!
Keep your things under lock and key when i come and visit. Something equally as disgusting might "jump" into my bag :)
Nah, PP won't join.
One pig out won't kill you. Just get back on the thin wagon now.
I think you are all forgetting how I'm gonna win this week.
Don't feel bad. As far as prior workouts not working...you could have hit a plateau or b/c you weren't eating as healthy back then...the exercise wasn't giving you the desired effect.
One pig out isn't going to kill you...you have to reward yourself sometimes. You're doing great and even though I'm going to win (lol)you're going to look fabulous.
Yrautca, the elliptical machine at my building makes a weird noise that makes it very off-putting to use, and my joint problem isn't because I'm pounding it on the tread mill it's because I broke it and it's started aching from the cold. The bikes in the building are broken to the point that the settings can't be adjusted, so there's no value in the work-out. The pool would be fine were I willing to appear in public in a bathing suit.
As for PP she just can't take the heat.
As for Ash, I actually think you and I were having the same problem, we were eating really healthy during the week and then once a week we were going out and eating really really badly. Had we been eating regularly during the week and eating badly at a restaurant once or twice a week we would have been gaining weight very quickly, but because we were eating healthy the rest of the time we were just not gaining or loosing. I have only been out to eat three times since the start of the competition and two of the times I switched the side dish to salad and ate sparingly, the other time was my anniversary where I did order the appetizer but not dessert and because it was a fancy-ass restaurant they didn't bring too too much food.
So there you go, you have to take your caloric intake down below your daily energy needs and just because you consider meals at a restaurant a time-out doesn't mean your stomach does.
I still think that you should reward yourself, but you need to rethink food rewards to a much smaller amount, don't go to all you can eat restaurants any more and focus on rewarding yourself by buying new skinny clothes, purses and shoes because they fit no matter how much weight you lose and stuff like that.
The GI Diet suggests that you should buy yourself a little special something for ever 3 pounds you loose.
As for the exercise not working, it's because you haven't stepped it up, you are still doing the same level of exercise you were doing before, then you don't go for a while then you start from scratch again. Remember when you started and it was really difficult, well it's not that difficult any more is it? That's cause you aren't building on the foundation, you aren't using heavier weights or higher speeds.
And if you think I'm letting you anywhere near my underwear drawer Ashley you are sorely mistaken. Also, I use the laundry room in the building so whenever my undies get embarrassingly bad, I toss them, I'd hate to find my gross stained undies laying on top of a pile someone took out of the dryer for all to see! I'd have to pretend the clothes weren't mine and then wait and go back when there was no one there, so I could claim them anonymously. Also, I am prepared to spend that big 97 cents for a jug of bleach every so often.
berly's been a quiet one lately, she's gonna kick all our asses i'm sure this week.
Linny i know one pig out won't kill me but i feel like i'm starting all over again.
Jennifer, i have stepped it up a notch, adding more weight, more time on the elliptical with more resistance. What color were the undies, white or black?
If i come down this weekend for Aaron's shindig i'll have to bring rum and diet coke and workout gear.
I think the undies where white once. You also left a t-shirt and a pair of cargo jogging pants that are quite lovely, Aaron's been wearing them with no underwear on underneath.
If you come on the weekend then you should definitely bring work-out clothes, but also you should bring something for the sauna.
I have been looking everywhere for those comfy cargo pants. I really do need to be more careful. Tell Aaron to keep his sweaty bits out of my pants.
Can't we go al fresco in the sauna. We certainly will not be turning the men on...or is it women only?
Umm.. no, there's a girls sauna and a boys sauna, besides I doubt that your naked body would turn anyone on, least of all me, ewww!
Also I have a funny story about the sauna in my building, I'll post it on my blog.
