Well not exactly as big a loss as I was hoping for. But I know I'm bloated. I can feel it. And it's a step in the right direciton. Still not my lowest weight. 1.2 pounds to go till I can start officially weigh in with y'all!

Jess, I'm with you on the bloat. I've been so crampy and bloated since yesterday afternoon I just knew TOM was going to show overnight (nope). I'm normally up 2-3 pounds a day or two before TOM through a few days into it so I'm super happy with my weight this morning even though 0.6 over Wednesday. 192.4
Um, is this me getting to count in the weigh-in for the 2nd week in a row? Hell yeah, it is!

Good morning gals...

My laptop is crapping out i have to call to see how much it will cost to get it fixed , already have no money so not optmistic about this :sad:

ON the good news DH check was 70 more than it usally is, i looked and it seems he got a raise ...that he wasn't aware of...i am just praying it wasn't a mistake and it is his to keep..it is like 120.00 a month...that would be sooo awesome.

I am proud to report 2.5 lbs loss this morning !! So not that it is just 2.5 lbs (which is great in it self), I have now lost 20% of ME!!! I find that amazing that i have lost 1/5th of me.

Losses are pretty slow for me these days but this week I'm just happy I lost anything.
I didn't eat huge amounts but I didn't eat very healthy foods either.

LilDeb - You are on a ROLL :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Check in for yesterday:
Calories - over by about 130, not bad but Sugar was Way to high
Water - only about 7 cups which is bad for me
exercise - none
proud that I got some wedding planning done

edit: to say that I passed the CHALLENGE Tstout, under sodium every day this week !!!!

Laila -- I share your love of soft pretzels. I'm glad I haven't figured out how to make them and I refuse to look up a recipe or buy them because I know that'd be trouble. It's a treat I let myself have at the zoo or the movies or something only because I can't be trusted. :laugh:

Cris & Danielle -- I'm far from a prude but I'd be shocked if dh *seriously* said "get naked I wanna f***" or "I'm going to drag you to the corner" to me. :laugh: I'd mostly be shocked because that would be so unlike him. He did *literally* drag me into the bedroom Sunday afternoon; apparently I had missed his less obvious signals? :laugh: His 2 "I wanna eff you" phrases are jokingly said but seriously meant -- "Hey girl!" and "I totally wanna do you." HA! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yeah, he's a huge dork.

Deb -- Be sure to very closely look at the deductions on his check stub and compare them to last time. If there was a mistake on his deductions you'll be able to see it that way (and that way you won't spend the money & then owe it back). Way to go losing 20% of you!! Awesome!

Dh claims he's going to the gym with me tomorrow morning to sign up! I got a notice from the gym in the mail saying any of my friends or family can join for just $5 and that was the push he needed (I think).

Last night we went to a place in one of the bar districts downtown that has self-serve frozen yogurt & boba milk tea. I couldn't resist the mango frozen yogurt (or the 2 sour patch kids, chunk of snickers, and tiny bit of oreos I put on top, lol). I got the smallest of the 2 cup sizes and just covered the bottom with the fro yo. Then I put my very small bit of toppings on it (one bite of everything bad I've been craving). I looked around and everyone around me had a completely full cup of yogurt! Like 5-6 times more than I had! :noway: Then I felt sad because I wondered how many of these people thought it was a "healthy" treat (you know, since frozen yogurt is fat free. :indifferent: ). A tasty treat, indeed, but you really don't need to eat like 2 cups worth. I hadn't even thought twice about getting more than I got. I just got what I thought I wanted. And it turned out to be the perfect amount for me. It was probably 1/2 a cup -- you know -- a normalish sized portion. I also had an Almond millk tea with boba. YUM! These Boba teas are like my new favorite treat. I'm going to start trying not milk teas though to cut the cals a little.

When we walked into the tea place, this girl started screaming (seriously -- *screaming*) dh's name repeatedly and almost broke her neck to get to him. :huh: She worked with us at our part time pizza job a couple years ago. Hubby & I never work the same hours so a lot of folks there don't know we're together and apparently she's one of them. Like I said, she was falling all over herself to get to him -- so excited (she's 18; my husband is 31)! And then she saw me and her smile immediately disappeared. She raised her eyebrow and said to me, "You look different" (yep. Not "you look good" or "have you lost weight?" or anything positive. Just "you look different" in an accusatory type tone. Weird. :laugh:) and then she looked like she was going to cry and just stood there staring at both of us. And then she left. :laugh: It was all very bizarre and super funny to me because I just don't understand what goes through girls' minds at all. I'm a "one of the guys" girl and I straight up don't get girls who aren't. :laugh: I didn't feel what I assume are normal girly wifey feelings about it (threatened, jealous, etc). The only thing I felt was bewildered and confused. :laugh: When she left, hubby said "Wow. It looks like ______ found all the weight you lost." It kind of bothered me that he made such an insensitve comment (he does that) but it was true -- she looked like she had gained 50-60 pounds and I know I saw her last less than a year ago. :frown: I guess that explains the the tone of her "you look different" comment. And maybe the about the cry awkward standing in front our faces staring at us thing, too. Weird.

I'm excited to have lost 2 considering I have not been exercising at all and have basically not been more than a bump on a log. Heading in to the surgeon today and I'm really really hoping that he clears me for at least some moderate exercise. I want to get back on track with C25K!

Congrats to all who have lost this week, and lildeb...congrats on having lost so much. That's really amazing!

lildebbie

Julie - I scoured the pay stubs, and the per hour rate is what was different, he is salary but it breaks it down by hour as far as the check goes. so the base before all the stuff taken out was MORE!!! ALl the deductions were there...I am soo freaking happy i just hope it is real. He has been there for like 90 days and hopnig it was hey you are doing a good job kinda thing..but who knows...it is like 2000 a year...that is alot , it comes up to be like a 7% increase...this would help us out soo much with trying to save for our house next summer...

If this is true + my good weight loss week...this could be a great Friday the 13th!!!!!

RedneckWmn

LilDeb-Hope the raise is legit! That is awesome. And congrats on yet another fantastic loss for yourself!

Julie-That girl sounds a bit weird! That's always unfortunate that people can't be happy when you lose weight. I've encountered some of those. Congrats on have a loss 2 weeks in a row!

Purple-Hope you get clearence from the doctor today. Well wishes are being sent your way!

So I did the stairmaster this morning for 30 minutes. OMG. I wanted to DIE!! I started and started to struggle within like 5 minutes...so I told myself make it to at least 10, then to 15 and just kept talking myself into it. It was definitely a mind struggle. It sucked and my legs are killing me! But I'm glad I pushed myself.

Jess, look at your ticker!! I just noticed. 50 pounds lost -- woot woot!

HeatherMN

So, I only lost 0.2 lbs but I'll take it considering my sodium hasn't been very good the last two days. I think I've been drinking enough water, though and it's really helping. Like the rest of you gals, TOM should be appearing within the next week. Yipee (note sarcastic tone).

tstout: I love that you forgot about the air & boat show because that's something I would do. I got to see Lake Michigan for the first time last year when we did the Big Mac bridge ride. Lovely.

Laila: Like you and Julie, I can't be trusted with soft pretzels. Once in a while I will let myself have one at the mall or at Walmart (they have an Auntie Anne's pretzel shop). So delicious. Now I'm craving one.

Thanks for the reminders about the risque texting. You reminded me to send one to my bf today. He's so awesome because he's going to be fixing my car this weekend (wheel hub, oil change, rotors). He even swapped cars with me today because I was concerned about a clunking noise I heard when I turned a corner last night. He's awesome. Okay, done bragging now!

Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Over by 46
Sodium: Over by 1493
Water: 104.3 oz! (That's over 13 servings!!)
Exercise: 2.5 hours walking in the heat at volunteering.
Proud: That I'm starting to crave water as my preferred beverage choice when I'm thirsty.

So I gained 5lbs this week. I'm assuming SOME of it is water retention, or rather I'm HOPING some of it is water retention! I'm rather bummed by this. I still haven't had a loss 2 weeks in a row, and I have no one to blame but myself :sad:

Danielle_81

Julie, I had a similar situation with my husband. But this girl just flat out doesn't like me because we are together. They have no history but I guess she was holding out hope for something with him. Which is just entirely more weird considering she lives in Massachusettes and we live in Michigan. But she was quite overweight and had gastric bypass, now I guess she is telling her BF who is a good friend of ours (hubby and I) 'that Al lost out cuz now he's stuck with that fat cow and she's thin!' I was hurt by this since I really only met her once and she was so drunk I don't think she remembered me and that was 1.5 yrs before my husband and I started dating. My husband just said, 'don't get upset, you're doing it the smart way, she'll gain it all back cuz she is looking for a quick fix'

Check in 8.12
Calories: under by 115 ( I FINALLY got that message on my profile! :laugh: and it posted it on my FB so my husband says last night 'yay you!'
Water: 120 oz!! (I think I was peeing water....no color whatsoever! :laugh: )
Excercise: Nada...I started an 8 day stretch yesterday :grumble:
Proud: That I got right back to logging without any mental blocks....I was able to say 'well I didn't log for 3 days but oh well' and get right back to it!

cris20056

Julie- trust me that is one of his "mild" comments...like I said the other ones are a little much to share :laugh: He's so romantic (sense the sarcasm) :huh:

Pos-me- You are doing amazing!

Daniella- its most likely water weight unless you ate 17.500 calories this past week. It may take some time to come back down- I vary from 1-2 weeks to get back to lowest weight. Drink lots and lots of water!

Heather- yes your BF is awesome, blah blah ...hehe jk BRAG AWAY! It makes me smile

Blue- feel better!

Jess- great job on the stairmaster..thats an evil machine and I have yet to get on it!

SO THE SCALE SAID.....191.8!!!! HORRAY! Its my first time seeing a 191 and I was really really happy! 1.8lbs until my 190!!!

I had 190 as my end of June, July and August goal...could it finally be happening!? I MUST see it at the end of August or I'll cry. Hopefully the lovely number will inspire me to be good this weekend!

Hey Danielle,
You can do this. Don't let the 5lbs get you down, we all know it's not 5 lbs of fat put on in one week.
Because I'm nosy and you were saying how you ate poorly this week, I nosed around in your diary and I have a suggestion.
:blushing: Sorry in advance for the unsolicited advice :blushing:
I think that you will see a loss if you cut back on your sugar intake (yep, those juices have got to go :brokenheart: ) so I'm sending you a personal challenge this week to stick within 50 grams of sugar each day in the coming week - starting today. I'll do the same because my sugar intake has been too high lately as well.
Will you do this together with me?

cris20056

MEOOK- You are so awesome :happy: just thought Id remind you that you rock!

tlrue

TOM snuck up and punched me right in the gut last night.... jerkface....

So that means no loss for me this week. Which is just fine with me. I feel like the stay puft marshmellow man. So I'll take a 0 loss as opposed to a gain.

So impressed by your 24.78% :drinker: :drinker:

cris20056

ttout- count your lucky stars...I can spend 4 hours cleaning the hosue and by the time I sit down to relax the kids have it a mess again....really counter-produtive. Makes me want to give them up for adoption at times...really

hah, jk, I love my terds but boy do they drive me nuts!

I spent 30 mins cleaning the kitchen floor and within 5 mins DS (DEAR STEP SON) had stepped all over it with his muddy cleats and my son had crushed chips all over it. And people wonder why I drink :smokin: :bigsmile:

Good morning girls,

I am sad to report I am up this week (3 pounds)…not sure if it’s due to the pretzels or TOM this morning. I felt TOM a couple of days ago..but it took so long to get here…hubby will be so mad. I haven’t done bed Pilates since Sunday morning ( he left Sunday afternoon)..he has been counting the days. If he can get it twice a day he is a happy camper.:blushing: :glasses: .LOL. I guess he has to wait another 5 days until I am officially done

Also, since TOM is here I don’t have to fast until it’s all gone..so no fasting for me. However, my kids are fasting I it’s not right to eat in front of time so I will probably just drink some water ( when they are not looking)…

Julie, I know how to make soft pretzels, but I don’t make it that often because I will eat them all. Pretzels don’t last too long before they get hard. so I will bake the remaining soft pretzels (store bought) and make honey, onion, and mustard pretzel pieces..I think Hanover makes them and they are really good.

Deb, way to go on losing close to 3 pounds..you impress me every single time. Job well done!!!

Jess, way to go on trying the Stairmaster and sticking to it for 30 minutes…everyone complains its very tough..you ROCK!!!

Purple, I hope you get the clearance for your doctor..stay positive girl!

Heather, Brag away sista..

Meokk, miss you girl.:flowerforyou: ..glad you're lurking around


I feel like crap so I am going to be lazy on the couch..

chat later girls!

Laila

P.s..congrats to the loser thus far..job well done sistas

RedneckWmn

Cris-Congrats on the 191!!!! Your gonna see 190 I bet next week!! At the very least.

Meokk-I just think you are so awesome! You just love to help everyboyd and I love it!

Is it 4 yet!? I'm ready to get on the road and head to Tusla!!

lildebbie

I am soo freaking exicted..

That's so awesome Deb! I wish it would happen to me, too, though. :laugh:

lildebbie

I know...I wish it would happen to everyone !!!!! I am still shocked, it is like a 7% raise...who gets that.....They said he was doing soo great and they don't usally do this but wanted to say what a good job he has been doing (he has only been there since april). I am soo proud of him, he is soo smart and this job he really likes and he can show them how well he can really do...It is awesome!!!


I am debating on going to work out at lunch, i am going to spin class tonight... if i do my normal workout + spin , i will probably look at the 900 calorie burn range, and do i really want to have to eat all that...we aren't going out or i would

Maybe i will just stay home and do some wii or something...i am afraid if i leave the house i will go get something to eat, as i have two tv dinners that i don't really want, if i leave i will have an excuse if i stay then i will probalby just eat one of them.

RedneckWmn

If your going tonight I say stay home. If it were me I'd end up going to get something to eat too.

RedneckWmn

So for breakfast I had taco cabana's bean and cheese tacos. They sounded good at the time. UGH! I feel so incredibly bloated it's not even funny! I had a small salad at lunch. It's from walmart. It was soooo good! And a few chips. Still feel bloated. But I know I needed to eat.

purpleprose

Surgeon cleared me for exercise! I'm mostly excited about being able to swim because the heat and humidity have been oppressive recently. Not fun.

That 2lb weight loss was confirmed at the doctor this morning - so exciting! That's 15 pounds since July 4th weekend...it gives me so much more confidence to keep going at this.

Off to the pool - hope you ladies are having a good Friday! :happy:

PosMe- I would totally be sneaking food when the kids weren't looking :bigsmile:

I'm having a good day today. I just approved the proofs for my wedding invitations and I booked a hair/makeup guy and all of the save the dates went out earlier in the week. In fact I've almost done as much wedding planning as Cris has - oh but wait - her wedding is 8 months after mine. :sad: :laugh: :sad:
