Road to "TWOterville"

[lizrbit 0]

yeah me either.

i entered twoterville, then stopped at a bar to tie a good long one on, it seems. im working out daily, doing cardio daily and strength every other day, watching what i eat and eatin a lot of fish, and it just wont budge. Im sure its SOLID LEAN MUSCLE though...rock solid. yeah...yep....

[waterlily1072 5]

It could very well be muscle Also I think there are two kinds of losers (weight that is) one loses steady and their bodies adjust as they go. Others take sudden drops and then their bodies catch up. I am one of the latter I think. I watch my body as I lose and nothing changes then I stop losing lbs and start losing inches, then I go back to losing pounds. It can be very frustrating. I am seriously considering putting the scale away for a while, but am afraid if I do I won't have the accountability to it that I do now and could easily go off plan, maybe I'll try it for one week and see how it goes.

I'm with ya Molly. My body goes through phases.

Woohoo! :clap2: I'm there! Now all I have to do is get the taxes finished this weekend so I'll have the refund...lol I was worried with the traveling this week for business but I guess all that walking around helped. Definately going to keep that up. Now I'm hoping I can make my 50 pound mark by 4/15 with 5 pounds to go! If I do the first reward will be the IPOD so I have music to listen to when I'm riding my Harley. :shade:

[lizrbit 0]

i have a technical question. i chose this place to place it cause its one of my favorite threads.

heres the deal.

i have it marked over on "options" to get a notification DAILY for my subscribed threads, of which there are MANY cause i like this forum so much. THE PROBLEM is that some of them are still on instant notification so i get a TRILLION emails every fifteen minutes. anyone know how to fix it so that they all come daily instead?

[LapBandit 5]

There ya go, Juliegeraci! Excellent job by the way!

Lizrbit-I love this thread too!! I have issues sometimes with my thread subscriptions not working correctly too. Sometimes I unsubscribe from a thread, get back into the thread then subscribe again. Just an idea you could try.

[RidinMyHDDream 1]

Thanks everyone! I hope we're having another one right after 4/15. It helps to keep me motivated! :welldoneclap:

Lizrbit, if you go under your User CP when you are logged in it will show all your threads. Select the box next to the one you want to change then go to the bottom where the dropdown list is and it will have an edit option to change your notifications. Try selecting the option you want, even if it's the same, and finish to see if it makes the adjustment you want. I only have one that I get notifications on. My usual habit is to log on and then go immediately to my User CP. If there have been any updates they only show those in the listed subscriptions. That way I know when there's new stuff to go see without receiving an excessive amount of emails. I hope that can help!

I hope everyone has a successful weekend! :peace:

[LapBandit 5]

OOPS, I'm so sorry Carol! I didn't even notice that your "To Go" column was at zero! WAY TO GO! We've got a winner!

Yep, I like challenges too. I usually hit my goal...a little after the end of the challenge, but I eventually get there! Next time I'll have to aim for a little more reasonable goal!

Anyway, we'll probably vote to do another one...it's kindof our "thing"! Maybe a Fourth of July challenge?? If someone thinks of something throw it out there!

[waterlily1072 5]

Hmm, the 4th is 11 weeks after tax day and Memorial day is 6 weeks after tax day. Then the next big landmark holiday is Labor day. The 4th seems to be well placed in the middle, I say let's go for it :welldoneclap:

Oh and I think the scale may have dropped below 280 but I am waiting for a second day in a row before I believe it!

[RidinMyHDDream 1]

Thanks LapBandit! I was surprised to see it myself....lol

Molly I know exactly what you mean about dropping in to a new '10'. It's cool to see it but you just don't believe it quite yet. So our new challenge can be the 'Independance Day' challenge. Independance from our old bodies and ways and on to our new ones. I was surprised when I entered my goal weight and put the date of 7/4/08 as the end date on fitday.com. I have to lose less than two pounds a week to get there. :omg: That really helped to paint a realistic picture for me and how to attain my goal. Now, mind you, it will not hurt my feelings if I get there before but at least I know if I stay on track I'll really have an Independance day victory next year! :clap2:

So I guess we'll kick off the next challenge and on to continued success for all! :peace:

[libra 13]

Independence Day challenge sounds good to me.

Still struggling through this one though. I think I still have a chance of making goal, but I've got to jump start this weight loss.
