Ann, Congrats for staying focused for 2 whole weeks! Simply Amazing!!!
I have to confess I had a krispy Kream donut today.... they opened on close to my children's religious school and DH had to stop and check it out.
that's the only *bad* thing I had today. I will stay focused...stay focused...I hope I stay focused..ugh!
got to go, have a great night!0 -
Way to go, Ann!
Laila-- 1 doughnut is okay. I'm REALLY proud of you for just eating one!
(Hello 2nd trimester!!! :drinker:)
(Oh, and my ticker isn't lying. My gut is seriously starting to poke out. I'm a little bummed because I feel like I look like I've just gained 20-30 pounds all of a sudden (I haven't! Promise! :laugh:) instead of like I'm pregnant. I'll be glad when it's obvious I'm pregnant instead of just looking fat.). At least I'm still able to wear size 14 maternity pants! :laugh:)0 -
My quote to live by and to help keep me motivated all year and thereafter:
"Once or twice in our lives we are given a chance to find out how much inner strength we possess.Usually we find out we have far more than we ever imagined."
WE CAN ALL DO THIS just dig deep and go with it0 -
Yes, Laila, I'm with Julie - that is fantastic to stop at one KK! I eat about five. Which is why I can't go near a KK, btw.
Julie - congrats on the 14 maternity clothes! I bet you are an adorable 2nd trimester gal! Wow, that first tri went really fast, didn't it? Or is it just me? LOL You probably do not think so!
Ann - I love the quote! YES! We are doing this!
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: A big welcome to the newcomers!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
You may be wondering why I am posting at 3:10am. I just got home from my best friend's 50th birthday party. Yes, fifty, you twenty- and thirty-somethings out there. :grumble: For the record, I am STILL a forty-something! :laugh: Well, anyhoo, I danced ALL night! I had a blast! Stomach flu is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sending healing thoughts/prayers my way! I sure needed them. OK back to the party. I was AMAZED at a.) how small my pants were (3x) and b.) how long I danced in them. :noway: I have not had that kind of dance stamina since 1999! :laugh:
check in:
cals: the piece of bday cake put me right on the line
water: 100+ (NO alcohol, sisters! I did it! Made it through a party without the extra calories! Truth be told I was afraid to drink because of the prior flu days! LOL)
exercise: dancin' my little piggies into a numbing state
proud: I wore my smaller pants, they fit perfectly, I looked good, and I danced and danced and danced like no one was watchin'!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
Did I mention I drank diet orange soda and had no idea it had caffeine in it? OK, enough said. I'm up all night! LOL0

So I'm a bit of an emotional wreck today....I faced up to the scale this morning and have lost a little bit of weight so, if this holds until Friday, I'm below 230! I think I'm still jetlagged and emotional because I got off the wii board and just cried. I haven't been below 230 since 2004 when I was in college.
Why didn't I start losing this weight sooner? Why did I let it get this bad? I just know that I can't ever let it get that bad again. I've lost the weight and it is NOT coming back!
I'm also watching the Biggest Loser and just sobbing - it's probably time for me to take a nap and get over this awful disorientation of being back in the US and back home and in a different time zone.
I'm starting the routine again tomorrow - checking in at night, working out regularly, and prepping for class. 2011 is the year the remaining 76 pounds are coming off for GOOD.0 -
:laugh: Allison, are you sure you're not pregnant?! I cried at an episode of Teen Mom 2 yesterday. Like.... boohooed uncontrollably for several minutes. :sad: :laugh:
And Nancy, I can't decide if 1st tri flew by or if time is dragging. Kind of feels like both at the same time somehow.0 -
Checking in
15 days strong so far, and am down almost 4 pounds. I am so happy to be focused again! I am sad at how fast my stamina has dropped. In 2009 I got up to 25 min runs in the couch25k, and this year I have having trouble on week one 
I have decided to just do some walking on the treadmill for a few weeks to build myself up slowly.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
I'm not caught up on posts but I just HAD to come share with y'all! I'm officially registered for Warrior Dash in Minnesota!! I'm nervous scared and excited all at the same time!! Ahhh!! I'll catch up on posts in a bit. Just got home from the gym and must shower and do some cleaning! Happy Sunday ladies!0

Quick check-in from yesterday. Vacation is hard to be "good"!!
Cals - OVER - 2723 (900 over maintenance YIKES). Know it's incredibly likely I will have gained at least 1-2 pounds by the time I leave. But that's OK - I'm having a wonderful time!
Water - 64 oz
Exercise - None really
Proud - I wore my friend Dana's dress. Dana is the one in the pic w/me and is probably a size 4 or 6 or something. I mean, it was a stretchy jersey dress, but I wasn't like a stuffed sausage in it. Pretty cool to know I could wear something from her closet! I'm actually doing it again today - wearing a size "S"! jersey dress. Fun, fun!
Vacation is awesome. Today we're going down to Orange County for BBQ and a brewery tour. Then tonight we're cooking tacos here at their place and critiquing Golden Globes fashion.
Happy Sunday friends!0 -

Perhaps via immaculate conception!!!! But seriously, I don't *think* so. I got my period in India but it was super light...just 2 days. :noway:
Teen mom and 16 and pregnant always make me cry. Those stories are awful and the girls always get screwed.0 -

I like that attitude! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning, dear friends!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
We had a relaxing weekend here, watched football, did some laundry. Nothing terribly exciting, but I think very much needed. We ordered Italian food from one of my favorite restaurants on Saturday (was CRAVING alfredo). So we ordered one to split and I ate some of my half for dinner and the rest for lunch yesterday. Pretty proud of myself and at the same time kind of sad that at one point not all that long ago, I'd have eaten that whole plate by myself, plus a bunch of bread, plus desert. And now it seems so much easier to eat a normal portion that fills me up. Yaayyy for lifestyle change!
Another attribute to lifestyle change: I had four Guinness on Friday night and wooo! Can we say tipsy? Adam said our former selves would be so sad to see us now hhaha. Oh well Saves on money and calories!
Nancy - glad you're feeling better and that you had such a great time at your friend's birthday!
Cris - I hope your foot is feeling better
Jess - Good luck in MN!! It sounds like so much fun!
Lauren - Yay for the size S!!
Allison - Welcome back! Jet lag does that to me too, occasionally. A couple years ago, I flew just from Columbus, OH to Richmond, VA and when I got to the hotel I was a complete disaster. I hope India was a blast though!0 -
Good morning gals
Allison - Welcome home !!
Julie - COngrats on the 2nd trimester, I really think soon you will looke preggers ..i always found the key is maternity clothes , especially the tops they will make the baby bump more noticible
So i totally lost it this weekend i ate wayyy too much. I went to spin and some strenthg on sat so that made up for a little of my craiziness but nothing on sunday..
Serena is not feeling good she started hacking and runny nose last night, i am keeping her home today, they are off of school so she was going to day care anyway, it is 17.00 extra $ so figure why spend 17 if she is going to miserable let her rest and hopfully she will be better by tomorrow...Then i started feeling icky too :sad: my throat started hurting this morning.
So scale is up like 3 1/2 lbs which i know is mostly sodium due to what i ate this weekend...Looks like i won't work out today #1 because serena is home sick and #2 i am not feeling that hot.0 -

Hello girls!:flowerforyou:
Oh NEW PEOPLE! Yay!:drinker:
I am not going to try to catch up I'm just going to jump in and tell you all again how much I love you!
I wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... made it to the rec center Sunday - second time since May. I walked, and I biked. Good start I think
My life is still crazy but who's isn't? Meghan's mom and brothers came out after Christmas and it was great seeing them and weird/hard too. Watching Meghan's mom "mother" her and kinda badger her about school work and her messy room (nothing like what I used to have!)... All of my family was in town this past weekend for a funeral of a good family friend - four sisters and our spouses in one room equals GAH!:explode:
I've been horrible this past fall - I know part of the reason is depression and part of it is just being lazy. No more. I'm back on the path to health.
I know I've gained back most of the forty pounds I'd lost but you know what? If I lost it once that means that I KNOW HOW TO DO IT so really - no excuses!:huh:
See you here!0 -
Allison: Welcome home! Love the new pick and congrats on being out of the 230s!! That's so awesome!
Ann: Great quote, thanks for sharing.
Julie: Yay for starting the 2nd trimester!
Nancy: You are a dancing queen, young and sweet, a just little older than seventeen. Seriously, though, so glad you had fun at your friend's party and that you danced like crazy. Doesn't sound anything like that lady I used to know who had trouble with stairs...I'm amazed and proud of how far you've come!
Melinda: Welcome back! So happy to see you again!
Jess: I'm so super excited about you coming to MN for the Warrior Dash!! It's a bummer we won't be in the same wave, but we'll get to party together afterward! Where are you guys staying? Nate (bf) says you should stay in Hastings so we can go to the bars Saturday night. Can you access my cell number on FB? If not, I'll private message it to you!
This weekend I wasn't bad at all in comparison to the past few weekends. I'm over my weekly WW points, but only by 27 instead of 75 like last week. I'm slowly improving. I didn't get to exercise because I got a cold and it's making me feel like I'm starving. I won't be taking a lunch break at work today, either, because I will be leaving at my normal lunch time for my IUD procedure (provided they don't reschedule me again). But, I have snacks at work or I could get a fresco taco from Taco Bell on my way to or from the doctor office and be okay for today's points.
Hope you all had a better weekend than I did!0 -
Morning girls...I did not do so well this weekend...scale is up 2.6lbs and Im having a hard time staying focused. Besides the fact that Im battling a cold I am also battling some personal issues right now and I want to eat my self comatose. Trying really ahrd to stay focused today. My goal was 210 by the end of the month and now thanks to my weekend binge I am 5.6lbs away from that goal. I am gonna go look up some quotes or look at the success thread to see if I can keep myself from spiraling

Morning/afternoon!
Can't chat today, DH and our kids are home and we are about to leave to the outlet mall..hoping to find lots of clearence for my family.
Have a great day!0 -
It looks like I am not the only one who had a hard time sticking to the plan this weekend. Okay, it is done let's put it behind us and move forward
Blue, dancing sista? Remember when you could not even take a walk? You are so amazing!!!! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ann, nice quote.
Julie, yay for starting to show. I was so excited with the first baby to show. I did not however show until I was well into the 5th month. I was too busy throwing up until that point.... I know no warning on the tmi!!!!
Melinda, good to see ya!
Heather and Jess, I think it is neat that you guys are going to get to meet. Have fun at the dash.
I am not feeling too good so I will see you all later.0 -
great attitude! you CAN do it!0

Hi Gals!
I did pretty well over the weekend ... not 100% but a lot better than I would have done a week ago! I missed step class this morning - so I'm kind of bummed about that. I woke up during the night and it was snowing and I was worried about the roads, and one foot is hurting me (kind of like you Cris) - I hurt it at step on Saturday - bottom of my foot towards the heel. I'm pretty sure mine is plantar fasciitis - which I've had before and took me a year to get over - so hopefully it won't be that bad this time. I wish I had just gotten up and gone to step anyhow. :frown:
anyhow - checking in for yesterday:
calories: a little over - but definitely not bad for a weekend
exercise: nice long walk on the farm - beautiful
proud: that I am still sticking with my nutritional plans - even if I am having sugar cravings.
water: need more0 -
Melinda - SO GOOD to have you back! We've all missed you so! It isn't the same unless all of us sisters are here. I think we all struggled with Fall, so we can totally understand. I LOVE your optimistic attitude: get right back on that damn horse!
lstpaul - PF really sucks. Make sure you do the stretches each morning! I have/had? it on both feet. I had an invasive surgery on the right foot way back in the day when they did not know what they were doing (yeah, big mistake); it actually worked for me but was a killer recovery. The left foot I had that non-invasive surgery where they take this huge machine and pound on your heel (I know sounds painful but I was loopy LOL) and it breaks it up so it can heal on its own. It took six months to heal, but it finally corrected it. PF pain is wckedly bad sometimes, so I feel for you. Make sure to stretch! I know you know this, so excuse the rant. LOL
cris - make a list for the grocery store and commit to yourself to STICK to the list. I find that if I am at all hungry or in a weak food state of mind when I go to the store, I buy crap. I am sure you are stronger than I am with willpower, though!
sisters: Thanks for reminding me of how far I have come. You are right - it was just a little over a year ago when I started and I could not even walk to my car in the garage. Wow. I love you all for remembering when I forget!
Off today, hence the GREAT mood! Who was our BL for this week? I'll have to go back and check.0 -
It looks like our beloved little JESS is our Biggest Loser this week! Wooohooo!!!!:flowerforyou:
:smokin: :smokin: :smokin: BRING ON THE CHALLENGE, SISTA!!!:smokin: :smokin: :smokin:0
