I've had a few girls tell me that I "forced" or "threatened" him to do it. I dont think that was the case at all. I know Bobby better than anyone on this planet. If he could have procrastinated on it for the rest of his life he would have. To him we ARE married, and he doesnt understand why a "piece of paper" would make it official. He thinks because we have a child, home, cars, etc and have been together so long that getting married wouldnt do much. To me a marriage signifies that you are devoting and promising your life to someone in front of god and all your firends and family. It was important to me that I get married...I dunno.0

Enter th single girl with the crazy dating stories!
Heather-I hope it doesn't come down to that for you and your man! :drinker: He's no dummy! Least doesn't seem like one.0 -
I have been so bloated...since I stopped drinking water and everything I eat has tonz of salt I have been a big balloon, the best part of being back on track today has been going to the bathroom every 5 mins...it means I wont be as puffy in the moring hurray!0
-
Cris and Jess: Thanks for the vote of confidence, but my bf hasn't said those three important words yet, either. I refuse to be the first to say them, even though I've felt that way since about three weeks after meeting him. Yeah, I'm stubborn, I know! I knew when we started dating that I'd have to be patient (I made the first few moves), but I'm thinking after two year one should know what they want going forward, right? Ugh. Frustrating.0

Jess, I'm kind of jealous of your crazy dating stories! I don't have any. I never dated, really. Just a couple losers very very briefly in high school. Then I fell mutually in love with a couple friends in college though nothing ever came of it (though I definitely have some crazy stories about one of those guys! :laugh: We're still friends though, so sometimes the hilariously unfortunate stories make me feel bad for him). Then I saw dh, wanted dh, got dh, and will be keeping dh. The people who were openly interested in me before him never really seemed worth it to me. And on top of that, I was so painfully awkward. Oh well! 0

I honestly hadn't done much dating until the last year or two. Before that it was a few losers here and there. I'm not good at meeting people and my lack of self confidence really showed. My best friend tells me I'm making up for lost time. But it's still all new to me I guess you could say. But I'm having lots of fun even though it can be frustrating. I've learned I don't have to put up with a bunch of BS that there are plenty of others who are interested. I keep thinking I've set my standards so high :happy: :laugh: I love hearing your story about you and your hubby. You got what you wanted!
Heather-I'd probably be stubborn too. 2 years? Wow I didn't realize it had been 2 years. My friend once told me after a year you either *kitten* or get off the pot. I don't know much I agree to that. I'll burn that bridge when I get there though.0 -
Jess- I kind of envy the single life ...well I miss college hehe those were some good times.
Heather- wow, Im kind of speechless. You are VERY stubborn, I bet if it was me it would have slipped out in a drunken stupor of some sort.
Julie- I love you and your DH's story about meeting and you liked him and you tried to get your friend to set u up..its a cute story!0 -
Heather- wow, Im kind of speechless. You are VERY stubborn, I bet if it was me it would have slipped out in a drunken stupor of some sort.
Me too!! Kudos to you Heather! :drinker:0 -
Cris - I hear ya, on wanting that marriage committment...we lived together like after 3 months of dating, so really day to day didn't seem any different getting married but the paper and to say we will be together forever is somethign i really wanted (and dh too,)
i have been bloated all week girls...i am soo ready to re-get rid of these 3 lbs....i am hoping they are gone by friday.0 -
Sometimes I wish it would slip, just so if I didn't like the reaction, I could be like, "oops, I so didn't mean to say that!" At least then I'd know whether I should leave now or stick around longer. That's why I said 30 would be my limit. If the words were said, then I could at least know that things might eventually change. As of now, I think we'd be stuck with the status quo forever. Don't get me wrong, everything is great but I think I deserve more someday. If he can't or won't give it to me, I'll find it elsewhere. Darn men!0

men are so dumb
ok im starving and i totally didnt bring enough food to eat at work....UGH0 -
I'm with ya Cris. My tasty salad didn't cut it for lunch. And I'm trying to save my calories cause I always snack at home at night.0
-
tag for later0
-
I broke down and had Gardettos with my lunch today. I'm still fine calorie-wise whether I exercise or not, but eating junk food just seems to make me hungrier. This reinforces my theory that junk food has addictive substances added to it to make us crave it. It should be illegal.0
-
All this talk about peanuts I finally went into our snack closet and had a bag of peanuts...all we had was salted though. You know you eat low sodium when you can't stand the salt in stuff like that. I remember when I tried to eat a spicy chicken sandwhich from wendys. Couldn't choke it down. Too salty. :noway:0
-
I love salt! Yum! However, I really try to watch how much of it I consume.0
-
Well I've decided to take the job. :bigsmile: We weighed the pros and cons of moving so quickly and all the cons with the exception of losing my seniority, were all short term things that will change once we get settled. I am SUPER excited and can't wait. So I have to get my daughter registered for school on friday and she will be staying with my parents until we get up there. Well actually we all will be staying with my parents until we get settled and figure out if we can afford a rental on top of our mortgage.
I gave my notice at work and my manager actually said, "You have to give 4 weeks" I was like "ummm no that's for internal transfers, I am leaving Spectrum Health completely" :noway: My manager and I don't get a long at all. She told me 2.5 yrs ago that I'm a single mom and she doesn't like me.
I really wanted to say, 'you're lucky you're getting 2 weeks I owe you nothing except irritation like you gave me'
I'll have to respond to everyone in a little bit, I feel icky. I'm sitting here at work and feel like I'm possessed and something is trying to kill me. TMI but I'm worried TOM is finally starting for me :sad: I wanna throw up and I really feel like I'm dying!0 -
Okay I promised a pic so here they are. The pic on the right is the one I took myself the first day the one on the left is one I took today. It looked better last night. The damn man-which from last night has me all bloated. :explode: But I think you can still see a difference. The shash things are sewen to the sides and there are 5 different ways you can tie it. Clearly I haven't done that in either picture. :laugh: Still have some work to do but I feel better about it.
So here it is..
Edit: Please excuse my super messy room!0 -

jess - You are looking good...0 -
Good morning all...feeling much better today...My stupid work pager didn't go off all night and got some good sleep and scale was down this mroning, not down from friday but down what it had been all week, so i feel good about that, i am only 1 lb away from what i was last friday..
I would say i am ready for the weekend, stil have to be on call though, hopefully it will be quiet since it is a holiday weekend.
I have to admit i am a bit jealous of DH...is that wrong...he is rocking it so much and only 24 lbs now away from his goal...he hit a 24# this morning ...I am happy for him..just wish it was me

Jess, you look fab! The best part is you know it's only going to fit better as you continue losing!
Last night at the game was.....OK. Wouldn't call it a total failure, but it certainly don't win any self-control awards! The most important thing is that I had a great time with my friends AND stayed right at my maintenance cals. We're counting that as a win on big events, right?
Check-in:
Cals - Over losing, right at maintenance w/my exercise: 1987 Beer! Cheeseburgers! Yes, sadly, 2. However, I didn't have any "sides" of popcorn or fries.
Water - 80 oz
Exercise - About a 30 min walk for 100 cals
Proud - I hd a good time with friends. Friends who hadn't seen me in awhile told me I looked fantastic. That is something to be proud of in my book!!
We have friends in town through Monday, so there's likely going to be lots of going out. I'm going to have to work really hard to motivate myself to exercise and be good about my choices and portion sizes. I know it's possible, but it won't be easy! Saturday is the football season opener, so we'll be "tailgating" at a friend's house before the watch party (at a bar!). I'm going to make it a goal to get a run in on Saturday moring before everything so I at least have some exercise cals to play with!
OK, gotta get ready for work. Talk to you later!0 -
Jess: You're looking good in your dress! See? You were so worried about nothing.
Danielle: Congrats on your decision to move. Don't let your current boss bother you. You only have a few weeks left of dealing with her and then you're on to bigger and better things.
Checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Under by 865 (mostly exercise cals)
Sodium: Under by 506! Yay!
Water: 84.5 oz.
Exercise: Walking at volunteering and 2.3 miles on the treadmill. I ran 1 mile at 5pm (12 min. mile) and walked the other 1.3 miles at various speeds of 3.2-3.8 mph. I hadn't run a a long time, so it felt good. I have to ease myself back into it to get ready for that 5k in November!
Proud: I didn't have an ice cream treat after volunteering, like I wanted. Instead, I had a small iced coffee from the gas station.
I have my meals planned for today again, so should be good again. I've counted the walking I'll be doing tonight. If I'm not too tired and too busy from packing for the weekend, I'll try to do a boxing DVD after volunteering.0 -
Good morning girls!
Checking in from yesterday:
calories- 1496
water- yup
sodium- way way way high
excercise spin class
cals burned- according to my HRM it was 766 but I dont think so...I logged 650
proud- that I did my best to get back on track
Ok here is my whine for the day- I really dont like eating around 1500 cals, its really impossible for me to eat that much and make them healthy calories...seriously I cant do it. I can find a bunch of crap to eat that will get me to 1500 but what good is it if its all junk? AND besides that, I supposedly burned 766 during spin class, since I ate about 1500 cals that still nets me at 734...so WTF is the point of excercising it just makes my goal of netting 1200 cals even harder for me. Im confused, and frustrated and I just want to go back to my 1200 calories....and work out moderatly ...someone talk me off the ledge please0 -
Jess- you can see a big difference in your stomach area between the two pics! Looking good girlfriend!
Lauren- Your post made me hungry...lol cheeseburgers and beer? yes please!
This weekend- We have our fantasy draft which = beer + ordering out. Its me and 9 guys..hehe they dont even try to be civil around me anymore...nice huh. I think I'll try to skip the beer but may have a slice of pizza or something....we will see
Oh and to add to my frustration...when I weighed in Monday morning with my "fresh" start I was actually at 204.8, even though my ticker is starting at 200. Today I was 202....it is just so frustrating to see that 2 again....its my fault I let my self get there and Im just so annoyed and frustarted and pissed
Ok whine done0 -
You look great Jess! You can really tell the pounds are falling off of you!! Keep it up hardwork does pay off and you are proof of that.Okay I promised a pic so here they are. The pic on the right is the one I took myself the first day the one on the left is one I took today. It looked better last night. The damn man-which from last night has me all bloated. :explode: But I think you can still see a difference. The shash things are sewen to the sides and there are 5 different ways you can tie it.

So here it is..

Cris-I think you should give this new calorie allotment some time to work and see how it goes. Or try the new calories and still do moderate exercise. Don't kill yourself. That's how you get burnt out. Sounds like you got a big weekend ahead of ya. Try to stay away from the beer. Easier sad then done huh? You'll be under 200 again before you know it. Drown yourself in more water.
Lauren-Good job on rocking the maitence and having a game plan for the weekend.
Deb-Don't you hate how muck quicker men drop weight!? Makes me sick! Glad you got some rest.
Heather-You do so good at planning everything out! Great job.
Thank you all for the comments on my dress. I know I still need some weight to lose in the stomach for it to look great but I know I have a month and a half to get there!
I haven't seen the 209 again since Tuesday. I'm starting to think it was a fluke. But I do know I am incredibly bloated. Stupid sloppy Joes!! UGH!!! :explode: I'm not changing my ticker, yet. If it's not back soon I'll change it back. BOOO!! :noway:0 -
I have gone back to 1200 calories and working out moderately but I know this works for me.So just do whatever you know works best for you.I know you will get back into the swing of things.We are here for you whatever you decide to do.NO JUDGEMENT!!Not in our group!!Good morning girls!

Edit: Please excuse my super messy room!
Funny thing is I have only really lost MAYBE 2 pounds or so between these pictures. I think right now I'm doing a lot of toneing and my weight is shifting around hardcore. At least that's what it seems like to me.0 -
Things will get better Cris just keep trying.YOu are here so thats a step to being healthier because you are acknowledging you have a problem with food.So as long as your here you are making an effort and seems to me you did a pretty darn good job sticking to it yesterday.I know exactly what you mean about trying to find enough GOOD foods to come up with calories without making yourself feel like you want to puke lol.Good morning girls!
