    yyyaaaay jen!! you are really looking awesome! you will be at 135 before you know it!!
    i am so anxious to get smaller before my wedding!
    i am aiming for six months away, but will wait an entire year if worst comes to worse. the place i chose determines when, so pray for me that they have something open in april!!


    i don't know if it is feasible for me to think i can get back down to 135 anymore :explode: my body seems to be perfectly happy at 158-160 and i am just struggling to get that scale down! One thing i have not done lately is measure myself. I have waited a long time, hoping that i would finally get some results, but in all honesty, my measurements have barely budged since i started the site! I think my body has kinda just reproportioned itself, and like you guys, MY BUTT IS GONE. grr!! i didnt have one when i was heavier, so now i really dont!

    anyway, i got a past due raise at work today so i am trying to look on the bright side, time to change up that routine and trick my body! time for 5 days of cardio a week!!

    That's awesome, Jen - you are on a roll! I'll be sure to keep my eyes on the news broadcasts.... :laugh:

    And congrats, Em, on your raise - hooray! Good luck getting the place you want for your wedding - although, I can say, I think September is a great month for weddings, too! :tongue: (my anniversary is next week)

    WTG Jen and Em both of you should be very proud of yourself. Both of you inspire me. I am 188 now and cant wait to be 150 (or less).
    I am back on track and being very good and not going over my calories. It has been a hard couple of weeks. Have a great day everyone. :bigsmile:

    Hey everyone! Hope things are going well.

    Been extra rigid on the calories and have increased weekly exercise totals. I'll start weighing again this week I think....:D :D

    Sorry I have not been checking in very busy at work and no time at night on the computer at home. But I am doing good walking everyday and eating the wrong foods but sticking to calories for the most part. Well back to work. Will check in later.

    Congratulations, Emily on setting a date! Today is my anniversary. :bigsmile:

    Sorry I haven't checked in for a bit. I think I have lost some weight, but it's been a little hard to tell what is a real loss now that things have slowed down. So close to 50 pounds gone!

    I have tanked a bit on workouts this week - I think I burned myself out a little bit last week, and then got frustrated with the scale. I will try and get back on track tomorrow!

    Guilty here too.
    Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Been busy last week with trying to get the tag sale stuff ready. Then trying to get rid of the tag sale leftovers. And I have 2 mailings going out today and 2 next week, so I'm busy trying to do them. I'm also trying to get Disney stuff ready for next week. I think I gained a pound or two last week due to not being able to go to the gym and having to stay home all day fri & sat for the tag sale and eating take out (not bad, Subway and Roly Poly), nevertheless, I didn't lose.
    A month away from my reunion. I'd really like to lose some more before then.
    My ticker lies I think, I'm not changing it though. If I gain, I just don't put my weight in the check in until I lose past what I was.
    Don 't think I can go to the gym today, and am going to try and consign all the baby stuff tomorrow, so i'll be making trips to the store, probably won't be able to go to the gym then either.
    We'll see how I fee/do!

    Got a great hike in this week and have another planned for this weekend! I'm pleased with that. Nightly walks are going well, Minnie loves all this exercise! I'm thinking of trying to lose more than a pound a week - maybe the change will jumpstart things?

    Well this week has been rough on all of us. I hope to be back on my healthy foods by tonight little financial problem and it was cheaper to eat the bad foods. Only went over my calories twice this week but I wont weigh in until Tom goes away. :grumble: It is nice to know I can come on and feel better just checking in with everyone. It is so hard to stick to eating healthy sometimes. But I am very proud of myself at this point last time I tried to loose weight I ended up quiting and gained it all back. This time I dont feel that way and cant wait to get back to eating healthy. I have to thank MFP friends for that. Thanks :drinker: :drinker: Have a great day.:bigsmile:

    You're so right sindy!!!! Stumbling across this group (and other like-minded people) has been such a Godsend!!

    :flowerforyou:

    Thanks guys!! :D

    (only 24 calories over today, after going down to losing 1 1/2 lbs per week! <- I'm going to keep reporting to try to keep myself on track, I need the jump start!)

    Happy Friday everyone. Hope today starts off great. I am staying on track today back to the healthy foods I come to love. Going out to eat tonight for a early birthday dinner with the girls and I am saving calories for that. Its a fish place so it wont be too bad. I dont want to be 42 but I dont have an age I would like to do over again :laugh: :laugh: Well have a great day :drinker:

    HI everybody. Happy birthday, Sindy! According to Douglass Adams (author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series), "42" is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - so it's a birthday I'd look forward to! :laugh: Hope you had a great time.

    I also love MFP and all the support here. You guys are fun, inspiring, and help make me feel accountable for sticking with it! :love:

    Thank you Kerri and Cp. 42 is not too bad,I think I had a worse time on my 40th but had a great time with the girls Friday night. Was bad and went over calories by 200 (did not plan for the drinks) Have not lost any weight this week but just getting over tom. Back on track today. Have a great day :drinker:

    Whew, another nice weight check for me! Almost back down to the 180. I have no idea how I put on that much weight in a week, but it's taken forever to undo it!

    The added cal reduction has been awesome.

    Enjoy your vacation Jen and sounds like you had a good time Sparkles!

    Hope everyone's doing great!
