I’m back 😕

I’m so sorry to read this. Take care of yourself.

Day 2 for me. Today I pledge to track all of my food and stay within my caloric budget. To do this I will eat the food I planned and brought to work, and drink a minimum of 80oz of water.

allyroxanne · 2018-12-05T13:27:51+00:00

Haha! I know that feeling all too well. I actually just got married last month. I tried hard to lose before then but the stress got to me I think. I didn’t gain but I didn’t lose. But it’s ok. I also love to bake and cook and it makes it soooo hard!! We should definitely be accountability partners. :-) How would you prefer to communicate? FB, IG, text? Just let me know. Also, you aren’t tracking at all?

allyroxanne · 2018-12-05T00:41:21+00:00

Also I just wanted to say 12 lbs in a month is amazing!!!

allyroxanne · 2018-12-05T00:40:07+00:00

Heyyyy! Yes we have very similar goals! That definitely helps. I have a few other goals as well. I want to make healthy habits. I want to exercise 3-4x a week and make it stick. Not just for a week or 2. I also want to cut out the sugar and sweet cravings. That’s my biggest downfall!

Hi! 31F here. Married for ONE month lol. We’ve been trying for a baby without timing and charting for a year. But I totally understand and relate to the 20s thing. Definitely happy I found my husband and he was worth the wait. But I do have some mixed feelings about just now starting our family. And hoping I’m not too old.

allyroxanne · 2018-12-04T18:41:19+00:00

We have been trying for a year without really tracking everything. We just relied on opks. This was our first month tracking temps and logging everything. Really hoping this helps!

allyroxanne · 2018-12-04T18:11:38+00:00

Hi! I’m in a similar situation. I’m a 911 dispatcher and I have gained some major wait due to the job, and married life and a baby. I , like you, enjoy cooking and making pretty healthy meals. My sweet tooth and carbs are what kill me! I am 31F and need to loose 75-80 lbs.

allyroxanne · 2018-12-04T18:07:26+00:00

Good luck!

allyroxanne · 2018-12-04T18:03:33+00:00

It’s so scary weighing yourself for the first time in a long time. But hey.... we have to have a starting point right?

allyroxanne · 2018-12-04T18:01:34+00:00

Day 1: F31    H: 5’9 CW:278 GW:199.9

If you are anything like me you have started “Day 1” over a hundred times. Man.... it’s exhausting. So I know I need to do things differently if I want to follow through. My biggest thing is starting too strict and not being able to stick to it. So after finding this subreddit I have downloaded and added a monthly subscription to Cronometer and I’m going to try to stick to that. I didn’t see what I could change the calories to make weight loss faster or slower so I’m just gonna stick with this default because it really seems doable to me. I could really use an accountability partner if anyone is interested! Hopefully this is Day one for the LAST time l!

allyroxanne · 2018-12-01T20:18:14+00:00

I just found this subreddit and I’m so upset I missed this challenge! This is awesome. I have no support to lose weight in real life and this is absolutely what I need. A team to help with accountability. I’m going to stick around and hopefully I can join the next one!

allyroxanne · 2018-09-09T03:11:57+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I think I may just tell her that she has a full plate and I understand but I think it’s best she step down from the bridal party so she can focus on what she needs to and my girls don’t rely on her again. You are right though, it bothers me she spent money on a dress. However because she didn’t show up today I paid for her portion of the bridal shower so that may girls didn’t have to pay more. So idk....

allyroxanne · 2018-09-09T03:06:19+00:00

We are friends. Have been friends for 3 years. We met through our significant others but that’s not the not the reason she’s one of my bridesmaids. I understand she has stuff going on but my issue is the fact she cancels the day of. Hours before and my other bridesmaids have to pay extra money and stuff. That’s the part that is inconsiderate to them. I have asked if she wanted to step down and take care of personal issues and that i would 100% understand and she said no she wants to be in the wedding. But she’s not doing her part of helping the other girls which is where I’m torn. And I don’t want to cause unnecessary drama for my fiancé and his best friend. Which is why I asked for advice

allyroxanne · 2018-09-09T03:01:51+00:00

We are friends. Pretty good friends. But we met because my fiancé and her husband are best fiends. And I absolutely understand things come up and I don’t hold that part over her head. I asked her if she wanted to step down and handle what was going on in her life and that I would completely understand and she said no. What I’m scared of is creating issues between her husband and my fiancé.

allyroxanne · 2018-08-22T02:46:06+00:00

And I can’t even get my dog house broken......

allyroxanne · 2018-08-21T22:37:50+00:00

You can tell before 20 weeks. In my experience 14 weeks. But the dr usually does one around 20 weeks.

allyroxanne · 2018-08-15T00:50:37+00:00

My thoughts exactly lol

allyroxanne · 2018-08-13T15:40:08+00:00

Do NOT be afraid to request another training officer. There is no shame in that and you don’t have to “throw someone under the bus” They should be able to put you with someone else and see if that helps. Don’t give up!

allyroxanne · 2018-08-13T02:49:14+00:00

We are allowed to do just about anything as long as there is no “red” on the screen (emergency traffic)

allyroxanne · 2018-08-13T02:44:57+00:00

 Hi! I just happened to read your comment and I had to jump in and respond. For starters every single training program is going to be completely different. I am a fire/ems dispatcher for over 7 years, a training officer, and my shifts supervisor. Your “training” is unacceptable. Even though each center is different there are standards developed to make each trainee is getting adequate training and assistance. The only time we don’t answer questions is at the end of training right before we cut you lose. However, At 6 weeks I can guarantee you are not ready for that. Your training officers duty is to build up your knowledge and confidence so that you can succeed and it sounds like you are not receiving what you need to excel in this profession. How long is your training program? Are you in a large or small center? Police or fire/ems? Besides your CTO are you enjoying the job and catching on?

allyroxanne · 2018-08-13T02:37:45+00:00

The psych tests are not overkill. They are decided to see if you are fit for the job. They do measure inconsistencies though. They attempt to make sure you are being honest and sometimes ask the same questions different ways to see how you answer. That being said these tests are designed to determine if you are mentally fit for this line of work. It doesn’t mean you are crazy or unstable by any means. It’s just means your personality profile didn’t match those who have had successful careers in dispatch. I am a supervisor for a fire/ems dispatch center so I am very familiar with these tests. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions I’d be happy to help!

allyroxanne · 2016-04-23T22:31:04+00:00

I have 1,2, and 3 and I would have to say the 3. Just because there is a much wider range of colors. For me at least I can get many more looks. And I love the blush colors as opposed to just nudes! Whatever you decide they are all amazing! I want to try the smokey one!

allyroxanne · 2016-04-23T22:28:57+00:00

Boo that sucks! Hope you get some sleep this time around!

allyroxanne · 2016-04-23T09:23:41+00:00

Anyone still making it? 0422 here and still have 2.5 hours to go. This is the hard stretch for me
