Wow~already week 5!!??...

hang in there everyone!!
((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))
I feel for you.. hope its not as bad as this cold that keeps holding on to me.. ugh.. I feel like crapola.. But feelin gbetter slowly.0 -
My goodness. I sure do hope everybody feels better soon!
Week 5. Wow. Time sure flies when you are having fun. I am having fun. I don't feel deprived. I am enjoying working out. I am running for 7 minutes of my 30 minute walks which is more than I have ever done. I can do 2 mintues at a time which impresses me.
So far, I am down 10lbs so I am officially halfway there. Yay! I won't make 20lbs before my son comes home but hop to make 15 before I see him.
Everybody keep up your great work! Go H-2-0!0 -
Wooo! Week 5 is a good one! I weighed in this morning at 165 which is 3 lbs down from the 168 I was last week. I worked my a** off last week in the gym and eating was very disciplined. What a pay off! Week 4 was a terrible week for me, I ate everything in sight and slacked off at the gym. It goes to show you that just because you have a bad week, doesn't mean you can't turn things right around the next week. So for all of you who may have hit a bump in the road, don't give up! We AREN'T PERFECT and we ARE ALLOWED to have imperfections!
Good luck everyone we have about 6 weeks left! (I think). I personally have lost 7 lbs so far with this challenge and have 13 to go. Doesn't sound realistic or healthy to lose 13 lbs in 6 weeks for me, but I will certainly try my hardest to get as close to that goal as I can. Here's to a great week 5 for all!0 -
Well I guess it is to late for this challenge but would love to join the groups next challenge, I am currently staying under my calories and doing my exercise however, I am not losing the way I thought i would I am doing something wrong.:embarassed:0

This has been a really hard two weeks. I had that awful flu that just knocked me flat for a few days....and then...I guess I started to overeat. I have never thought of myself as a stress eater. Always a boredom eater. But I realized this last week that I'm an anxiety eater, it just masks itself as boredom eating. I've been really anxious about starting college next Monday. It's been subconsciously coaxing me to eat more to keep away the panic feelings. I haven't put on weight, but I haven't lost any either. I really need to get out of this pattern. Starting now I will find another outlet for my anxiety!
Tonight my mom invited a friend of hers over for dinner. She brought her two girls (both 16) with her. Now...I have no idea why my mother chooses to associate with these people... they are trash. Rude, crude, trash. The girls were both stoned, and the mean skinny one (who has never weighed more than 110 pounds her whole life) decides to call me a fatass...just in passing. The other is a bit bigger than me (mind you I'm a size 16, not that big). These girls talk to each other like that all the time, saying such hurtful things so mindlessly. They don't even know what they're saying. I grew up in a home filled with love an support...so having her say that really got to me. I had a bit of a tailspin tonight, it mostly got to me because I'm insecure about if I can lose the weight. Will I fail? Will I ever look like I want to look?
I try so hard to stay away from that group of people, nothing positive ever comes out of it for me.
In better news - I'm going to see Adam Lambert with my best friend tomorrow!!! I got two really cute new pairs of boots and I know what I'm going to be for Halloween this year! I have a beautiful formal dress I bought for winter formal last year that didn't fit. It's opal blue with silver beading and ruffles! I'm going to turn it into a pretty-pretty princess costume!0 -

I'll hold that skinny *kitten* while you punch her. Who does she think she is to say things like that to people?! I'm sorry you had to put up with those people. I'm loving your costume idea! I was just talking about the Pretty Pretty Princess board game the other day to one of the 45 year-old guys across the street. He had NO clue what I was talking about but was entertained by the idea of wearing jewelry and a crown. :laugh:
LWatson43 - welcome to the group!! It is never too late to start. No matter what your goal is, you're more than welcome into the group. This is a great place to be.

mommaski4, you're doing such a great job on your running! I bet before you know it you're going to be running a half-mile, and then a full mile, and then a 5K! Congrats on being half way to the H20 goal.0 -
Not going to make 20lbs by Halloween. However that said I'm not too bothered as after a few weeks on a plateau I've started on the downward trend again.
Weighed in this morning. Another 1lb down. Last weigh in was last Thursday so 1lb in 4 days. Not bad 0 -

Hey so I know I'm late with this but I only made it home for 1 day then had to come back to the rig. Then because of the storm the net was down. So anyway, while I was home my scales say 144.2 and well grrrrr I've been stuck here for a while! I put on those 2 lbs then dropped them in like a week but otherwise I've been 144.2 for like a month! :mad: This isn't looking good.0

A little about myself. single mom of soon to be 15 yo son, I am 41 years old soon to be 42
But want to change that to this :bigsmile: I have just graduated a three year college program that helped add about 90 lbs to my body over three years. :noway:
I also have fibromyalgia which has terrible bouts of extreme fatigue where I can sleep 15 hours a day or be an insomniac and be awake for 28 hours at a time. :yawn:
So I am concentrating on getting my weight back to normal taking care of myself trying to excercise gently so as not to flare up the fibro. It is working so far and will work better once i get through this bout of fatigue. Trying to eat better but sometimes its easier to eat fast processed foods but I will get there!!! I have done good so far, and want to keep going. I want to feel the best I can and manage this illness the best I can so I need to take care of myself finally cause darn it, I am worth it. Plus I just feel better not being so heavy, it is much easier to get around.
So yes I need a challenge and will report my weight every wednesday. I plan to get to approx 125 - 135 we'll see when we get there! I would like to weigh 170 by my birthday!!
Thanks for having me.0 -

First time in August 2007 at 135 lbs second time in December 2008 at 200 lbs :sad: Definately much harder to walk around at that weight. That is my motivation, get healthy manage my fibro better so I can continue to go to Disneywwithout a electric cart. I refuse to do that. I will walk disney again.

Hi all, I've been busy in real life..my hubbys' Grandpa fell last week multiple times, also on concrete and after arguing about going to the hospital and not the lakehouse like he wanted, he finally saw a doc who admitted him to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St Louis. He's been there having test after test run on him since last Wednesday to find out why he was falling so much and finally had surgery yesterday to fix the issue. At first I was told scar tissue, it wasn't scar tissue, just something that swelled that shouldn't have swelled. It's much worse than they thought, BUT, it should not get any worse. It will either stay the same or get better. He has lots of theraphy to go through when he's done with the hospital. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and all around continued support and concern, I take Grandma back in a couple of hours to see him and if I hear anymore, I'll update you all again. *hugs*

I'm sorry I've been absent this week guys!
School has been super overwhelming what with two difficult tests that I even had to sacrifice my Monday workout to study for
I will be back at the gym per normal starting tomorrow but I hate having to take three days off in a row. I don't know if it's actually making me gain weight, or if I just am visualizing myself getting fatter when I look in the mirror in the morning. I just feel so much better when I can actually get there and get my run in. I know one day shouldn't matter, and I've been saying within my calorie limits but...
Diet alone has never been enough for me. It's from my dad's side of the family - unless we workout HARD and diet at the same time there won't be any weight loss.
Of course it could also be the test anxiety that making me stress and hold on to a few pounds.
Is it Friday yet? I'll de-stress when my friend Bryan and I do our Disney movie marathon on Saturday. After I work out.
Oh god my weigh in is going to be on Friday. I'm going to be so fat T_T0 -
Hey guys! Weigh-in day for me:
SW: 191.4
Wk1: 187.4
Wk2: 188.4
Wk3: 188.8
Wk4: 187.2
Wk5: 185.6
Woohoo! 1.6 pounds down this week! 14.2 more pounds to go. :laugh:0 -

YAY for WDW! Disneyland is my home, but I went to WDW for the first time in Oct. 2006 and I miss it terribly. Especially EPCOT. I could spend two weeks in that park alone.
I didn't get married at Disneyland (I wish!). Got married in Vegas. BUT we brought Mickey ears with us for all of our bridal party. Had to bring the Disney to sin city! Thankfully most of my friends are also avid Disney geeks, so that's nice. And my family has learned to put up with it. Hell, they support it now! A Disney tattoo will be an awesome reward! I want a Hidden Mickey tattoo. I've got a rhinestone brooch that's a flower with Mickey in the center, made of 3 rhinestones. I'm trying to figure out if it would translate well as a tattoo. We'll see!
:laugh: @ man flu. Feel better soon, bjshooter!
Bru, thanks for the update. I hope life calms down soon.
Kitsune - I wanna bop you on the head right now. Or give you the Care Bear Stare. You can pick. What i'm trying to say is...I really doubt you've gained enough weight to see it in the mirror in just the last few days. You're stressed to high heavens with school! You're going to move past the pressure, your weigh-in is going to be to your satisfaction, and what time should I be there on Saturday for the marathon? I'll bring "A Goofy Movie", "Aladdin", and "Up".
