Weight loss & fitness log

Why don't I have those same icons on my signature page as you do, that's what I don't understand, Sea, I'm missing the one you have circle and the ones to the right of it.

The picture itself is in my signature page, it just won't show up here unless I post the code directly here.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Now just when I was going to say phunk it, it wants to show up.
 

Ameriscott, that's what worked, but, before, I guess I needed to hit two save buttons for it to show up. There's a box the reads insert signature and save signature, you have to hit both. It worked for the lily site on my last ditch effort. I rarely have this much trouble on sites, but, this one for me just wasn't computing. I think it's my lack of junk food consumption, I need some cake. But I shall resist.

Stop! Back away from the cake, April! :)
 
If we keep saying the cake word, I might end up caving. So, I'm going mum on the C word from here on end as of now. But in a week or so, I will be able to make a sugar free Cheese-C that won't interfere with my weight loss plan. :D
 
Ok, I'm with'ya AM:) This will encourage me, and be fun! Much easier to have others "with" you! Let's roll (no pun intended, lol) denise!!
 
I can't get my ticker in my sig SB. I don't know which code should work. Can you help me? I have it made, and I need to lose about 20-25 depending on muscle growth. I do weight resistence so as to build some, so I may not need to loose that much by the scale.
 
Today I had an Aussie Bite for 'breakfast', a bagel with lox (smoked salmon) with Philadelphia (1/3 fat) chive and onion cream cheese, and thin sliced onion for supper. For evening snack, I'll have my nonfat yogurt that I normally have in the morning. No gym or exercise today, expect my morning walk in the park with hubby.

Okay, now for a stupid question. How do you update your tickers on Saturday? I did choose a PIN, and according to the site, you're supposed to be able to click on your ticker to update it?? When I click on my ticker, nothing happens.

The only tickers I've ever used was on Pet Forums, they were ones for my dog and cat's age...and they updated automatically with the calender on the computer. I put a sticky thread about tickers in this forum, but I'd definitely like to add how to do an update. Can anyone tell me the secret?

I'll have to check the ticket factory site, I know how to do it on the one I used, but the tickerfactory is a bit different, I'll check it out and get back here if I figured it out.
 
OGOSSHhhhh! I don't know if I can remember what I did. LOL

Clicked on the tickler, put in my pin, then my code, clicked edit weight, changed the number as you can see above, my tickler changed from 25 to go to 30 to go tough, thats not really how I want this thing to work, it's not how these things used to work. I'm going to see if the same thing happens on the lily site. brb
 
It doesn't work for the signatures though, I believe it's because of the way in which we have to post it to this site. You have to change it manually by bringing the entire code back here if you want to change the signature or post it in each of your post.

I can think of ways around it, but, some might see that as a nuisance as well.
 
Thanks April! I went onto the site and did it again. This time I saved the link they have to edit the signature in my favorites, guess I missed that last time. Now I go into my bookmarked favorites, click on the site, and it takes me to the page where I can edit. Hopefully on Saturday I'll have something to change. :)
 
For anyone that wants to do some weight-resistance (muscle building) exercises, but opt out of the gym thing, and equipment, I use a military body-weight training. I have a book but you don't need the book as I can tell you the basics of the workout. If you want to know what I'm talking about, look up "You Are Your Own Gym". It's by one of our Navy Seals, and he's continued to train all sorts of special operations teams, Mark Loren. I'm not trying to sell a book, don't misunderstand, it's just that with these sorts of exercises, which are of use no matter where you are, or what you are wearing;) you can still pump off a few. I got into it because I don't like gyms, and, I couldn't afford one now if I wanted to;)

Even though I've gained back 8 lbs since last July when I had a surgery, I think the reason I did so well since then is that I was in very, good shape. Hope to get back to that;)
 
The weight I am trying to lose now is the rest of the weight I gained in Thailand plus the 6-8 lbs I still had to lose before we went. I'm very bad about gaining while on holidays/vacations, then have to lose when I get home. Besides making it harder to lose, it results in more loose skin that will never tighten up. Not a health issue, but only relates to vanity. But still....

Thursday:
Healthy menu. Calories: 1293


At home workout:
Lower: muscle workouts using dumbbells, ankle weights, step, mat. Abs, core, thighs, calves, glutes.
 
My weight is the rest of the 55 pounds I needed to lose plus 5 more... just because... That will put me well into a normal BMI range. So If I make it... 60 pounds gone!! Daunting.. But I lost the first 30.. so hopefully the 2nd 30 will come off.. This is weight I gained post menopause.. I never was heavy. My normal adult weight was 135-140 pounds when I was in my 40's.. In my younger years I was very skinny. 108 pounds up until age 30. But Menopause crept up on me without much fanfare... and so did the weight. Time for it to go!!
 
I was always average weight until my late 30's. Just after my 40th birthday is when I started to diet and workout. I went from 155 to 120 and I was thin but still young enough that it looked good. At 50 having gained again (surprise, surprise) I went from somewhere around 160 I think to 130 - and looked slim but not skinny. At 59 I had gotten to my heaviest weight ever - 167. My goal was to be a healthy weight on my 60th birthday and wear a bikini on some nice beach. As I lost my goal got lower and lower - 135, 132, 130. Got down to 128 and I was thin, almost too thin as a lot of that was/is muscle. Didn't buy the bikini (bought one later) and went to Morocco for my birthday.

Of course, it's crept back on, lost again, crept back on, etc etc. Very unhealthy I know. Healthier to be overweight than to yo-yo.
 
Calories for Wed (3/11): 1430

So much for trying to keep it at 1200. At least it finally came in under 1500.

Subway ham and cheese for lunch. Otherwise healthy stuff except for 1 tablespoonful of butter. Had a huge salad with grilled chicken pieces instead of an evening meal. I like to put about 1/3 head of lettuce in a large mixing bowl and throw in leftovers from the refrigerator. Sometimes it comes out pretty good. Sometimes not.

Do you guys all eat breakfast? I never could eat anything first thing in the morning, even as a kid. It was like torture to get a cup of cocoa and a slice of toast down before school.

I'll never have a flat stomach and don't really need or want one. I wouldn't wear a bikini anywhere but Thailand where about 99% of the tourists wear bikinis no matter how they look. More comfortable than 1 piece to me as you don't have wet material clinging to your middle.

I have always been a breakfast eater. Normally I eat porridge (long-cooking Scottish oats) with a mixture of dried fruit (apricots/dates/raisins) which I weigh out as 10 grams, add soy milk and water then nuke it for 3 minutes. Then I pour on some almond milk. Very filling and very healthy. 210 calories for all of it.

I stopped using any sweetener on it about a year ago and I'm used to it unsweetened now. Sometimes I make it without the dried fruit and add fresh strawberries or raspberries or blueberries after it's cooked.
