Heather-Congrats on the 185!!! Awesome!!
Julie-That is pure craziness about your ex co worker. I hate when people think just because they quit they are going to get away with it. Sorry her responsabilities are being pushed onto you though. You haven't mentioned it lately that you hate your job. Hang in there!0 -
I'm totally mental! I completely forgot to mention.... My little sister is engaged!! They're getting married next October
She called me earlier to tell me she wants me to pick out the bridesmaid dresses. Which is flattering because she trusts me, but also good because unlike the rest of her friends who are in the wedding, I am curvy haha!
So that gives me about a year to get down to my eventual goal... 180 (sounds like a high weight, but I'd have to sacrifice a lot of muscle to get much smaller).
So here we go!0 -
Heather - WTG on 185!!!!
Tsout - You will get down there, i know you will by next october.
Julie - Freaking crazy about the employee..
Just got dressed and got on the scale (being scale obsessed like i am), and what did it say...but 249.5 ...yes girls i saw a 24# i was soo excited, i know it may be dehydration and such since i didn't drink much this morning, but i don't care it said a 24# 2x in a row...i was soo excited...hopefully that will stick till friday :bigsmile:0 -
Wahoo for Deb! It's always awesome to see a new starting number. 240s!!!
Heather - congrats on hitting your goal (2 days late totally counts!)
Tstout - I wouldn't worry too much about your goal number. We're all different shapes and sizes and 180 looks differently on all of us. Sounds like you're quite the athlete, so it makes sense that you want to keep your muscular build.
Jess - glad the rain didn't keep you too down today. Hope you made it to the potty in time!
Julie - DUMB PEOPLE SUCK
Heather - great work on the exercise yesterday!
We're getting ready to take a field trip to Jamba Juice. I have been light in my other meals today. If I get a 16 oz, it will be under 300 cals. Hooray!!0 -
Thanks everyone for the congrats on my 185. I appreciate your support SO much!
Lauren: I want a Jamba Juice! The ones in my area have gone out of business. Boo!
Tstout: You'll definitely be at 180 by next October! Congrats to your little sis. Have fun picking out the dresses...oh, so exciting!
We had our monthly potluck at work and although I still ate a lot of calories, I didn't really each that MUCH. With what I've planned for dinner, though, I'll be within my calories even without exercise. It's volunteer night, so I'll have about three hours of walking around to give me a bit of calorie cushion, so it will be just fine. Yay!0 -
tstout-You will definitely be 180 by next Oct! And congrats to your sister!
Deb-WOW! Congrats on seeing the 140's! Simply amazing.
Lauren-So jealous. I LOVE LOVE LOVE jamba juice!
Nancy-I sent Cris a text, no reply. Hope she's okay! :sad:
Heather- Way to plan everything out. Is it getting cold up there yet? I think my cousin in Wisconsin posted they are starting to get pretty chilly!
Well...my throat is feeling a bit better..I feel kind of weak...can't decide if I want to try and do the pilates DVD tonight. Any thoughts? I was craving something warm on my throat but didn't want to leave for lunch. So we ordered chinese food, yet again. I got a veggie plate with lots of veggies and just added some grilled chicken. I think it's okay calorie wise. Just found something similar in the database. No sauce. Very little rice and a small amount of wonton soup. Hope I did ok. EEEKKK!! :yawn:0 -
jess - sorry you are still not feeling good...you probably did okay on cals...sodium probably another story :sad:
Had a great workout at lunch i was soo pumped, and my tv show back on the tv's that i can see (and not just listen) i was soo excited.0 -
Jess: It was 45 degrees this morning, with temps in the mid 60s to low 70s in the afternoons. It's gorgeous outside, but that's because I like it a bit on the chilly side. I think the other evening we had high 30s overnight in the northern part of the state. I love fall! Anyway, take care of yourself. I've never done real pilates, so I don't know how hard it is; if it's a relatively easy workout, I say go for it. If it's hard or intense, I say find an easier workout while you're under the weather. Get lots of rest and lots of water to help your body get better!0

Jess: It was 45 degrees this morning, with temps in the mid 60s to low 70s in the afternoons.
It sounds like heaven.
We're still hitting the upper 90s EVERY day. It's stupidly hot, even for SC. But I'm really beginning to learn to appreciate temps in the lower 90s. Last Tuesday I was on my way home from a work conference & I thought "Thank goodness, it's cooler outside today!" and drove home with my car windows down. Got home and saw the temp outside was 93*F. :noway: :laugh: Considering we've had more over 100* days than not since the middle of May, 93* really did feel super nice!
Our low temps overnight have finally started getting comfy. One thing about SC heat being so uncomfortable is that it's so humid during the summer it tends to not cool down much at night. So happy autumn is around the corner. I hate the heat.0 -
Jamba Juice was delish and I was a super good girl and had the light version - 150 cals for 16 oz. WAHOO!
BRING ON FALL!0 -
It's been raining here but with all the rain it's still humid as ever!! I want some cooler weather! Nothing like 80's rainy and HUMID! I think it's the weather that kicked me in the butt!0

I have a question for you ladies. Have any of you taken the Hcg drops or injections and if so can you shed some light on the products for me.0
-
Sorry jadegem, I don't know anything about hcg drops or injections. If you google it you may find more info.
Okay ladies, I am ready to check in for today.
Calories, good
exercise, no
water, need to improve
Proud that I am making better choices each day. I am so busy right now but I am proud that I am finding some sort of glimmer in me willing to work on me again. My son may need me a lot right now but he and his sisters will need me later as well! so I should make sure I am around by making healthier choices. I went in for my yearly check up about a month ago. My blood pressure was 158/95 and that was on blood pressure meds.:noway: So my meds have been increased. Back to fixing momma, back to fixing momma, back to fixing momma...........I think it is sinking in.0 -
Cris come back to us!
check in:
cals: OK but I am starving!
water: 100
exercise: none to speak of
proud: I made it through the day with only crying twice0 -
Deb and Heather - WOOHOO ON YOUR NEW LOW WEIGHTS!!!
Jess - hoping you're feeling better!
Momma - yes, you need to take care of YOU! No one else will!
I had a rough day today at work. I think this year is gonna be one of those tough ones....:ohwell: I am heading for the vodka.
Tomorrow is a new day!!!0 -
momma - good to hear from you....and yess...time to fix momma !!!!
jess - this humid weather sucks!!! rain is good..yes...not FLOODING AND TORNADOS!!!
BLue - it is almost the weekend it is almost the weekend !!!
So hubby got home late from work, we decided to go out for pizza to a pizza place her, they have really good think crust pizza (thinking thin is better than thick
) not sure how much it was, but putting like 1000 to be safe, of course that put me like 330 over, but figure that ain't too to bad.
The best part of it is that i cam ehome after pizza and my weight was still in 240's, not sure how that happend, i am sure it will go up in the morning maybe delayed reaction.0 -
good morning girls!!
1 day closer to the weekend ...woohoo..
Very excited to see 249.0 this morning !!!!! THat is with eating pizza last night...i am soo stoked, 1 lb more and I am at the big 70!!! not sure if i will get there tomorrow, but i will be very happy with the 249.0.0 -
Morning everyone!
Checking in from yesterday....
Cals: 219 under
Water: at least 8 cups
Exercise: C25K week 5 day 1 (15 minutes running, 16 walking)
Sodium: 532 under
Fiber: 33 grams (12 over)
Proud: I made a great dinner for my roommate and friends and it was healthy-ish and they seemed to enjoy it!
The good news is that I'm down 2 of the 3 pounds I gained over the weekend. I'm really really hoping that I'm down to at least 262, which is where I was last Friday. I'd hate to have a gain this week. :grumble:0 -
I'm a little peeved at the scale this morning because it was mean to me! It showed 188.0, which is ridiculous considering I had lower sodium yesterday than a normal day for me. I'm having crazy fluctuations this week, apparently and I'm hoping to see 185 again tomorrow morning.
My weights for this week:
Tuesday: 189.0
Wednesday: 185.0
Thursday: 188.0
So weird..I've been better on my sodium, have been drinking my water AND I have at least another week before TOM visits. What gives?
Anyway, checking in for yesterday:
Calories: Under by 246 (exercise cals)
Sodium: Over by 51
Water: 67.6 oz.
Exercise: Walking at volunteering
Proud: That I planned my meals ahead of time. The bf has chicken marinating for tonight, so I should be well within calories today.0 -
purple - i hope that you loose that other lb and maybe some more
Heather - Sorry your scale is being mean...bad scale bad scale...I think mine is possessed some days 0 -

I feel your pain. My scale has been whackadoodle all freaking week! I hope that it shows you a better number tomorrow morning.0 -
so dead this morning...where is everyone.0

Quick check-in for yesterday.
Cals : Under w/exercise = 1480
Water: 128 oz
Fiber: 33 grams (over by 19!)
Exercise: Hot Yoga for an hour = 425 cals burned
Proud: Good day full of good eating, water drinking, and exercise. Don't get much better than that!0 -
Congrats Deb on sticking that 240's even with pizza.You should be proud!!
Heather-I am sure you will see 185 again very soon so don't sweat it.
Momma- you definitely do need to take care of you!!Get at it!!
Purple-Keep working hard and I am sure your scale will reflect it soon
My tummy has been bothering me for the past few days.Not sure if its a virus or just bloated but either way I am miserable.Managed to stay within calories yesterday and eating very light today because my tummy hurts.0 -
Nancy -- Hugs to you. Like Deb said, it's almost the weekend, woot!
Deb -- Woohoo to 249!!!
Heather -- Scales are lame.. My weight tends to fluctuate like crazy from day to day no matter how good I am. Then when I'm bad, the fluctuations become almost unbelievable. Days later, I'm still recovering from my 4 days nutso-fest.
Purple -- Hooray, to relosing! I'm in that boat with you.
Ann -- Feel better soon!
I was up nearly 8 pounds (yeah.. 8) from my lowest ever weight (191.8) on Tuesday morning. This morning I'm back down to 196.2 so I'm feeling better but definitely not good about that number. My lowest weigh-in weight is 193.0 so I'm definitely not going to show a loss this week. I'll be happy just to flush out another pound or so of this (hopefully) water weight.0 -
Julie - love your new ticker Love the baby :bigsmile: and the 43 lbs to go...you can do it !!!!
I am in tears right now (good tears)!! I am trying to figure out hte payment plan for my mom since she paid for serena's surgery and all , well Jeremy's bonus wasn't as much as i thought, so i was sending it to her what we could pay,...she told me don't pay her back. She said put the money to my student loans or our new house...i really really was paying her back , but this helps soo much with our house fund
There is still some money i will owe for serena's surgery, that i owe to the hospital and anesthesiologist and stuff, but soon as i get bills i am going to call and make arrangements, usually they will.
I feel soo blessed to have such a wonderful mother, she has helped us out financally over the last few years alot, and helps with the girls all the time.0 -
Momma-Yes it's time to fix momma! You are a priority too and you wanna be around forever for your family. Love you. Take care of yourself!
Nancy-Hugs! Hope this school year isn't as rough as it has started out to be.
Deb-Whoa! 70 pounds. That's so great!! Even with the pizza. I'm a little envious.
Heather-I've been the same way. I've been all over the place on the scale this week. Lets blame gravity or something. I dunno! I almost threw mine out the window this morning.
Julie-I'm right there with you. I was up 7 pounds Tuesday. Ridiculous! What gives!? Here's to hoping you see another pound or two drop by tomorrow!
Okay. So....I have decided that I blame not losing and the ups and downs on the scale on ME!!!:explode: Me being naughty and going out to eat. Even if they were more healthy choices. My wallet can't afford it and my body doesn't want it. I'm tired of the 211 and up I have been seeing and I'm over it. Starting today no eating out for me for lunch! I will allow myself to eat dinner out once a week if I behave during the week for lunch. This will help me lose weight and my poor checking account.
I got up and went to the gym this morning. I originally shut off my alarm and was going to go back to sleep because my throat still hurt. I laid there for about 5 or 10 minutes and said "nope Jessica..no more excuses get your big fat *kitten* out of bed" and I did. And I did interval running and it kicked my BUTT! I almost died on the 5 minute jogs...I didn't like that AT ALL! I'm hitting up yoga class tonight with my friend..pretty excited..thinking maybe some light cardio tomorrow and then cycling class Saturday. I'll stop rambling now.0 -
Deb-WOW I know how that feels when a Mom tells you not to worry about it. You have a wonderful Mother! Sooooo happy for you!! My parents did a similar thing for me when I went to go buy my last car. Yay for getting to save money!!
Julie-I meant to comment yesterday on your ticker. Love the baby! Does somebody have baby fever now?0 -
Jess: Way to go on getting up early for the gym and deciding not to eat out for lunches. You can and WILL get past the 211 soon.
Deb: Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady. I'm so glad she's been able to help you out so that you can take care of other things. So awesome! Give her a big hug!
Julie: I'm sure you'll be able to get rid of some more water weight. I'm irritated because the scale was mean even though I was really good yesterday, even with the potluck at work. But, being female isn't easy, I guess. I don't think men even realize how lucky they are!
Today I'm pondering what I want to be when I grow up. For a while I was thinking personal trainer (and still am considering it), but my co-worker suggested physical therapy because of how I light up when I talk about the kids I volunteer with. I know I need to do something different and that I'll need to go back to school for a career change...well, and because I do want a bachelors degree. I just don't know where to start or who to talk to in order to find out what would be a good match for me. I wish going back to school weren't so expensive!0 -
Good morning gals,
It has been so long and I am still not caugh up on posts..sorry. It has been a really long month for me especially with Ramadan...well ltoday is the last day of fasting/Ramadan, followed by a 3 day EID al fitr, festival/holiday that symbolizes the celebration of Break-fasting. Hubby and I plan on taking the kids to a mini vacation ( friday - Sunday) so for 3 days they will play and have lots of fun before school really starts. It's a well deserved trip...
I will be back to normal and doing my normal thing(s) first thing MONDAY morning.
I am still 201.8 - 202.4 so I am hoping to be below 200 in 2 - 3 weeks...I think I can..I think I can.
Have a great day girls!!!
Laila0
