Lauren! You look awesome!!

And I LOVE the polka dot dress -- so cute!

RedneckWmn

Lauren-You are looking great!!

The clock is slowly ticking! I feel like this day is dragging on and we are so slow at work. Wish I could take the whole week off and pack!! Just sitting here going through my head everything I need to do this week.

Lauren- you look so cute!

So this morning the scale said 195.6 which is 3.4lbs up from my lowest weight. I might still have been a little dehydrated so I wont be surprised if its higher tomorrow. My goal for the week is to get back to my 192.2. Its been taking 2 weeks for me to get back to my lowest and I dont want to take that long! I am going to bust my butt this week to see that 192.2 at weigh in this week!

I am still so tired and weak from the running around though so today is an off gym day because my body better be ready to kick it up a notch this week!!!

Where is everyone??? Melinda? Dawn...come back!!!

RedneckWmn

I'm not sure where Melinda is but Dawn was taking a step back. She's doing okay. I heard from her on Friday.

RedneckWmn

Cris are you wanting to finish c25k this week?

Jess - YAY on the dress fitting better...YOu will rock it in october

Lauren - Looking great !!

Well home from the dr appt...i hate waiting...our appt is at 9:30, didn't see the doctor till almost 10:30, me having to wait enough but to explain why we have to wait to a 7 yr old , different story, i should of let her have her ds ..Then we had to wait tmore to get all the info and pay for friday..

Then we had to go get the blood drawn...i am sure the techs hate when kids like mine come, she wouldn't let them take it, we had to hold her down...i felt soo bad, but how to you get a 7 yr old to just put their arm out to be stuck.

we are all scheduled for Friday surgery time is 7:20 , got to be there at 6..I hope it goes well. ..and she will coeperate getting back to the operating room. Me and hubby are taking sick days, so hopefully it will go smoothly and we will get her home and she will rest...She has to take pain pills every 4 hrs , even waking her up so hopeuflly she will work with us on that.

Thanks for the new thread, Ann!
Lauren - lookin' good!
deb - praying for Serena and her cooperation!
Jess - you look great in your new pic, too!

I have had a pretty lifeless weekend. Since my knee has been killing me, I have done no exercising, really. I went to PT this morning and was demoted. Epic fail. I am embarrassed and depressed. He took all weights away from me - all that I worked my butt off to get to in the last three months, gone. I am at ground zero again. Woo. Couldn't even bother putting the "hoo" after the woo.

I have a D and C tomorrow morning. My oncologist scheduled it for the end of July because he just knew I'd be at 100 pounds lost by then. Big surprise awaits him tomorrow, I guess. Sorry so crabby and down. I am allergic to anesthesia so I get sort of weirded out before surgeries. I'm sure I'll be better by the end of the week. Onward and upward.

RedneckWmn

lilDebbie-I hope everything goes smoothly for you this week and on Friday!

Blue-Cheer up. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sending you lots of hugs and positive vibes!

lildebbie

Jess - Thanks !! I know she is going to be in pain, and i just hate seeing that. I am just really hoping this helps..would be awesome if 1 thing could help many things...just got to keep being optomistic.

Blue - I hope everything goes well...i will be thinking about you.

lildebbie

week is getting more hectic by the minute.

so i called the psyc to see if they had the results from the one test yet or not., they said they did (they were waiting on me for the 1st morning urine), so i have an appt wed to discuss the one nerotransmitter test, appearently they gave me the wrong urine cup anyway so i can't do that other one yet.

I am just going by myself, figure i could get out there faster, and they don't really need her for anything , i confirmed that it was okay if i just come...

So spending lunch hour doing that on wed, well probably more than an hr...grr...so curious what that is going to say.

RedneckWmn

LilDeb-You have so much going on this week for you! I'm praying for you. You are super Mom, you will get it all done!

I've scored some free boxes for moving. I'm excited!! My Mom is going to come help pack on Wednesday! WOOHOO. Think I'm going to get a lot done this week!!

lildebbie

Jess - Thanks Little nervous to all what he is going to say...I hate driving out there (he is out by like 75 and walnut hill) takes me forver to get there, wish he would just tell me over the phone what it is ..but i am sure it will make more sense 1 to 1. Would be nice if all was good and the tonsils was it, but i am thinking if it would of been then i wouldn't have to go in :sad:

I just really want to get her on the right track before school starts, in less than a month now!!!

I decided too , i am just going to let serena play soccer, abby has been doing a soccer tots since march, and serena only swiming lessons for a few weeks..I don't have enought money to do both (stupid a/c going out in our rental house cost us 500.00 which i didn't really want to pay, but what you going to do.

I think abby is too little to understand anyway, she is just 3 1/2 , we may put her in something in the spring after she is 4.

so in about an hour got to go to this dinner...i am going to try to eat semi-good., think i may eat a fiber one bar before i get there so i won't be starving and want to order something huge, but plan to drink water...and since i didn't have any of it maybe i can make up for it tonight !!

lildebbie

yes i am a chatty cathy today...!!

Jess - good luck on your packing !!! I actually like packing , usally cause it means i get to move and usally pretty excited about that, it is the unpacking , and the last minute crud that gets to me.

So tonight i am meeting people that i work with (remotetly that is), a few of them i see every so often (those are the people i work with directly), the others i haven't seen since last october (at 310) lbs. Is it wrong for wanting someone to say you look great...i know i look different (and feel different) but i guess just for someone else to say it sometimes makes me feel good.....is that wrong??

No it's not wrong at all. I like it when people say something to me as well! I hate packing I enjoy unpacking. LOL I am determined to get more organized with this move! I have too much clutter and it needs to go!

Deb - I'm sure you'll get compliments. Enjoy the dinner! Thinking of you and your girls.

Thanks all for the compliments. It was a fun night and I felt pretty sexy in my dress. :laugh:

HeatherMN

Hello, ladies:

I planned on checking in last night, but our plans changed a bit so we didn't get home until after 10pm and it was after 11pm by the time we unloaded the truck, showered and got to bed. Wheeling is actually a LOT of fun. I was surprised I liked it so much and Nate (bf) is thrilled I enjoyed one of his favorite hobbies. It's amazing what vehicles are capable without breaking...whoa. I'll try to get pics on Facebook sometime this week.

On Saturday night, we swam in the pool with the kids and I felt pretty darn confident in my tankini! After taking the kids back upstairs for bed, I snuck down to the fitness center (don't worry, all kids were with their parents!) and worked out on the elliptical for 45 minutes. I felt like I needed to do something after snacking off and on throughout the day.

Today, I'm back on track and went for a run this morning. I was struggling a bit because I think I was a tad dehydrated from the weekend, so my calf muscles were tight. I ran 20 minutes and walked the remaining 10, then did my stretches. At least I did something before meeting a friend for Mexican food. We're having grilled porkchips and steamed corn for dinner so all in all, I'm doing okay other than sodium.

This morning the scale said 190.4, so only up 1/2 lb. from before the weekend. Yay!

Raider: Way to go on starting C25k. I logged mine as treadmill intervals (I ran on the tread for most of the program), but had the actual calorie burns from my HRM.

Lauren: Glad you had fun on your Staycation. You look adorable in your polka dot dress! I think it's great that you volunteered at a soup kitchen. Doing volunteer work is awesome!

Jess: Way to go on the crazy amount of exercise this weekend and fitting into the dress for the wedding better than when it arrived. You must be losing inches!

Cris: Welcome back from vacation. It sounds like you got some good exercise in and I'm sure the majority of your gain, if not all of it, is sodium-related and it will come back off fairly quickly.

lildebbie

Dinner went good...i ate way too much, i had a plan of getting a little indivudal pizza, but they ordered like 4 for the table, and i was not even paying attention to what i was eating :sad:

Not sure anyone noticed i lost anything...that is okay...I know i did and that is all that matters i took a pic of me in the car, and it looks pretty good ...

HeatherMN

Deb: I'm glad you had a good dinner. The new pic looks terrific!

elmox

Deb - LOVE the new pic! I'm sure people noticed, but they may have been unsure about how to tell you. It can be a touchy subject - noting weight loss.

Heather - WTG on working out on vacation! That takes great dedication and makes the snacking so much more worth it!

Check-in for today:
Cals - Over, 1584. My sister-in-law's parents and little sister are visiting this week and we hosted them for dinner. Jonathan made steak tacos, homemade guac and salsa, and roasted corn. They brought over a key lime pie and I ate half a piece. Wish I would have had as much willpower with the guac! Healthy fats, right? CRAP! just realized I didn't enter the wine I drank. Make that 1654 cals. CRUD.
Water - 64 oz as of now, will get in at least another 16 oz
Exercise - None...though I should have woken up early apparently!
Proud - Of the kind compliments on my size 12 polka-dot dress from you ladies. Also, our guests greeted me with a, "Hey Skinny!" and "You look great!" I'll take that.

Positively_Me

blue - Don't be so hard on yourself! We all have off days. :flowerforyou: I'm sure you'll be back up to your weights in no time.

new picture people - Everyone looks fantastic!

I am finally able to move after my trainer beat me to a pulp last week. Seriously, I could barely move after Tue and Thu sessions. She did tons of hip/butt/inner thigh work, and I could barely move any time I wanted to get out of a chair or off the couch! :grumble: Oh well, I can move now and hopefully it did its job. She said she could tell that my body is changing shape and my butt is lifting up (not just from last week, but from the past couple months).

I am still at 273.6, so no loss for me last week, boo hoo! I really need to kick it up a notch with my cardio and get over the hump.

lildebbie

Thanks on the pic i was bored in the car waiting to go to dinner (got there too early),

I was very proud last night cause i wore my wedding rignt..yes it fit!!! Okay it fit last night , this morning i had to pry it off, i was loosing feeling in my fingers :sad: I am sure it was from all that sodium in the pizza last night. I am up like 2 lbs from friday, but i guess it would to be expected.

I am going to spin class tonight...our tough lady we take on sunday, she is subbing tonight so we are going for more torture

Trying to debate if i should go at lunch too...or just tonight.. If i do both i will be looking at like probaly close to a 900 calorie burn today..

Just a quick Hi

Heather-So glad you enjoyed wheeling. I've never done it but always wanted to. Guess I'm going to have to come to Minnesota and go with you and your bf. haha..just kidding!

Deb-Cute pic!! That's awesome that you wedding ring fit. It's definitely the sodium

POS Me-Have fun painting!

Meokk-We miss you! Hopeyour doing well.

Well I went and met my sister and another girl last night and got some moving boxes. Went and bought some rubbermaid containers. I went through a lot of stuff last night, made a huge pile of stuff to sell in the next garage sale and have already thrown a trash bag of stuff away. I have a problem with clutter. I want to keep everything. My goal is to reduce my clutter. So I got a couple boxes packed. I was up pretty late because I was so excited about going through stuff I didn't go to the gym this morning. I figure maybe my nightly packings are going to count for my exercise till after the move. I was going from the time I got home till I went to bed. Which means I wasn't munching on food! YAY! I did spend some time looking at old photo albums. I was amazed how different I look looking back at pics. It looks like after high school is when I really let myself go. I'm about back to where I was in HS. I think I was in a size 16 so probably right around 200 pounds.
