Hi girls!
Kristin I'm glad you are feeling better!! Boy you are busy on your day off...hehehe. I haven't renewed my drivers license and it expired Aug 22nd...OOPS!! I'm going to do that tomorrow...heheheh BAD CASSIDY!! BAD!!! -- what book did you get?
Pedal, loooove the haircut! Too cute! It sounds like you have been trying to make healthy decisions..I'm proud of you!! We have 3.5 days until weigh in...so just get back on track sister!! Get your workouts in and drink water!!! LOTS OF IT. Any extra sodium will be flushed out with enough water. Ohh...lets us know how spining goes!! I've never done a spinning class before!
Chipper. How did your workout go this morning? Keep your chin up about the slow progess we talked about earlier! I heard a quote....be happy in the journey...not just the destination. We are changing our lives and we ALL need to be proud of each step forward we take....ALL OF US!! WE ARE DOING SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY HERE LADIES!!!!!!! Can you hear me? :bigsmile:
I didn't make it to the gym this morning...Reagan came and crawlled in bed again....I just can't leave when she is there....she is so warm and soft and cuddlie...ohhh I miss her now!
Anyhow....I'm either going to do Turbo Jam OR get to Target and buy 30 day Shred and try that out.
Oh and last night I had chinese food...went over calories by 109...so I was pretty happy about that! We celebrated paying off our Discover card! YEAH!!! $54,597.00 total debt paid off since May 2007!! Only a little more to go!! YEAH US! (this journey is another story for another time)
Love to all my ladies!!
Oh and nice job staying off the scale girls!! MAD PROPS TO YOU! I am still on TOM so there is no WAY :noway: I'm getting on the scale...lol.

Good morning Ladies,
Sorry I didnt have time to post yesterday. I was watching my neighbors little girl all day which I never pass up as I have 2 boys, a male cat and dog and of course my husband. Its nice to have a girl around once in awhile. I also decided to walk to my weight watchers meeting where I actually lost 2.4 pounds! Yahoo! The trek there is 3 miles one way and 3 miles back. I was a little worried as I retain water when I execise but here you go! Nothing to worry about. I think I will walk again on Tuesday.
I have to attend a funeral today. Bummer but it will be ok. Not sure how the eating will go as we are all going out to eat afterwards.
On sunday I am walking the Race for the Cure. I do it every year. Its only a 5K but still its exercise. I didnt really have time to read through everyones posts
Pedal, new hair is cute!
Kristen- hope you are feeling 100% soon. I am sure your new hair will make you feel like a million bucks anyways!
Cass- I have 30 day shred. I like it alot but have only used it a few times. I use it when I cant get to the gym or walk outside. Must take advantage of the good weather while it lasts!
Rogers- good luck at the cake show! Sounds like fun. Wont ask you to share recipes as I am sure they are not what we need on our diet!
Katy- Hope your back gets to better soon!
Great job to all on staying off scale. I would have done this but couldnt go to WW until Thurs this week. I will stay off until tuesdays weigh in though!
Have a good day ladies!

Hey Rogers, Do you decorate cakes? I see you live in SC We visit sometimes Shipyard on HHI. Good luck with the cake, sounds interesting. I love cooking, especially baking.
Amy, congrats on weight loss. Good luck on your walk on sunday, hope you have good weather.
Cass, The kids crawling in bed with me was one of my favorite things. I really miss that. You will love 30 Shred
Pedal, Spinning sounds like a workout that would really kick my butt.
Hi everyone I missed.
Just got back from a 75min. bike ride the HRM says 508 calories burned this site says 244. Hmmmm
Today: 1: toast w/egg & ham
2: apple
3: salad, skim milk & biscotti
4: corn on cob, salad
5: not sure yet
Have a good afternoon. Lots to do in the yard today.0 -
I always always change the calories burned that this site uses....I think my HRM is more acurate than this thing.
Yep its soooo much fun cuddling. She always hugs and kisses me when I let her stay in bed...I love it!0 -
i must me lost someplace.
who from hilton head sc? i live just outside charleston.
hello everyone.
busy day for most of you. workout was good. busy weekend coming up, going house hunting for son's first place. should be fun. it's suppose to be super nice out.
need to get dinner. i didn't get my snack today. DH had doctors appt. his just found out he has high choles. and the meds they him gave him bad side effects. so he decided to go natural and we had to go to health store and than to walmart to get some more veggies. he will now fully change his diet. i have been after him about it, but, until someone else says something. he said he would take the litte walk i do after dinner around the neighborhood. a whole big mile.
well, off to eat.
cathy0 -
I'm sorry to hear he has high chol. and bad side effects, but I'm glad he is going to be on the plan with you!! It will be great to do this together! 0

I refused to do that and be like that. so october 1 2007 we moved down here to Hilton Head Island South carolina and we started our new life. after getting settled and getting jobs, i started focusing on me for the first time in my life. I am a property manager for a rental company here on hilton head and my husband is a contractor and things are good not perfect but we are HAPPY!! our Kids are HAPPY!! I dont miss NY at all.
so thats my story!! oh i also decorate cakes for a hobby and im enerting a contest in charlotte on saturday. i cant wait im soooo excited
have a great day everyone
Chipper, This is from Rogers back on page 3 or 4. Decorating cakes sounds like a fun hobby. Maybe when she gets back she will post some pics.0 -
Good Morning All,
Kristen, glad too hear you are feeling a little better. You sure are busy today. Take it easy.
Katy, hope you stayed off the scale. I did. I took measurements instead. Only the three they have on this site and I lost 1" at the waist and almost 2" on the hips.
I went a little over on cals yesterday I hope it doesn't show up on the scale. I will post my menu & exercise later since I'm not sure at this point.
Have a lovely day:flowerforyou:
Yes I have lol... Its sooo hard! I almost cracked this morning LOL0 -

GOOD LUCK WITH UR CAKES!!!! I am such a huge fan of custom cakes..for my daughters 2 and 3rd bdays I custom designed the cakes and found bakeries to do it for me. People like you have real talent when it comes to making these cakes looks so amazing!! I would love to see pics!!!0 -
thanks deb, not thinking today. must be scale withdrawls :happy: that's got to be it.
DS took us out for dinner to a nice little resturant. none of us had been there before. everythin else was crowded and wait line. normal for friday/sat nights. i had a chicken philly so good. i was so glad i had calories to enjoy. had a few of ds fries. now i have a headache. maybe the oil?
i hope everyone is settled down for their evenings and enjoying a quit night. me off to watch a little tv and bed soon. i am tired.

Okay so hello everyone and thank you all for the well wishes for my back! Yes the bulging disc is from the car accident.. Everyone is telling me I need to get a lawyer and deal with it that way bc I will always have trouble with my back from now on regardless of the therapy I do. I dunno, its stressful but Im going to talk to the PT when I go monday morning and see what she says. It still hurts, but the pain comes and goes in waves..all this medicine makes me nauseous and confused so Ive been trying not to take anything since yesterday afternoon. Finally had to break down and take a pain pill around 3 today bc pain was getting so bad..but it gets the worst in the afternoon and evening.
I did walk today for 108 minutes at the park..burned some major cals
I just had the extra energy to keep going so I just kept going lol.
Foodwise today:
bfast- fiber one cereal skim milk and protein shake
lunch-south beach diet high protein cereal bar..cinnamon raisin and it was AMAZING!!! loved it..
(I didnt skimp on lunch on purpose, we had to run errands this afternoon and everyone opted to stop at McDonalds for lunch and I was like ehhh no way not even the salads bc they have all that crap on them so luckily I had stashed that cereal bar in my purse!!)
dinner- 1 and 1/2 hotdogs with 1/8c shredded fat free cheddar and some ketchup and mustard.
I may end up going out later on but even if I dont I still may have 2 beers- the budlight with lime about 120 cals each. I have like well over 1000cals left for the day so I think Im good
Soooo Im glad to see everyone else is sticking to the no scale til Tuesday.. Im like freakin out over here... But as long as I know you guys are as well I dont feel so alone LOL Its killing me but maybe on Tuesday I will be greatly rewarded and surprised!! (Here's hoping anyway)
Well I hope everyone has a great evening, not sure if I will be back on tonight or not!!
Get well soon Kristin!!

Chipper, sorry to hear about DH's levels. Diet is huge so hopefully you guys can manage without the meds!
Cass, we co-sleep with Ava and Leith and I LOVE it. I wouldn't be able to get out of bed if we didn't co-sleep and one of the came creeping in either I don't think there's any way to wake up "on the wrong side of bed" when I wake up every day to my two amazing, cuddly loves
Katy, I agree that you should discuss things with the PT then decide what to do. I'm sorry to hear it's something that will cause issues for you, but with good help you really can resolve a LOT.
Deb, you don't eat very much!! I hope you're getting enough :flowerforyou:
Rogers, have fun and good luck! Sounds like a neat event to attend!
Kristin, I hope you managed to get everything done and still leave something for your immune system to use to fight this pathogen!! Have a nice visit with your brother!
Our day has been great. I went to spin class (and I rode my bike there and back! hahaha) and I LOVED it!!! I will DEFINITELY go again. What a great workout! I burned 440 cals in 1/2 hour!!! I also got a huge walk today not to mention just running around. This turned out to be a good thing because we were out WAY longer than anticipated so we stopped in at my favourite restaurant (a vegan organic whole foods hippie hang out) and I got a baked samosa, a rice paper veggie little wrap thing and a bit of vegan shepherd's pie. I hadn't had my supper or evening snacks yet (and I'd slotted a fair bit for the evening snacks since I had lots of cals today) so I can still have an apple and a protein shake later and come out ahead. I tried to over-estimate my cals from our stop. This is a tough week for not weighing in because we have enough occasions as is, then extra stops like this! As before, the choices are good but I'm a control freak when it comes to ingredients (especially sodium!) in my food! Tomorrow we have this great event called the Festival of Families. Probably will have lunch there... *sigh* I guess it will be a good test to see how well I've managed come Tuesday, and hopefully a good indicator of my ability to get through the holidays
Well, good night everyone! Unless I check in later :glasses:0 -
Hey gals!!! We have some friends over and my brother, so can't talk long. Busy...BUSY day! Got everything done...except didn't buy my book...but I bought Paris Hilton Can Can perfume...LOVE it! No exercise, but my butt was running all day so not too worried! And...here's what I ate:
Breakfast:
1 wheat english muffin, 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter, 1 wedge Laughing Cow light swiss,.
AM Snack:
2 c. coffee, 2 tbsp. sugar-free vanilla caramel creamer, 1 soft-baked Kashi TLC blackberry graham bar.
Lunch:
1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese, 3 melba toast wheat crackers, diet coke.
Afternoon snack:
1 Kashi TLC Honey Almond Flax granola bar.
Dinner:
Homemade Almond-crusted Chicken fingers and oven fries.
PM Snack:
1 med. pear.
So...actually stayed within calories...YAY! Gonna get up for spinning tomorrow. Have a great night ladies!!!0 -
morning all....
kistin..you sound like you are feeling so much better. i am glad. you did great. enjoy your weekend with family. did your haircut change or just a trim? pics if it changed.
pedal..family fun day sounds like fun. yea, we had changed our diet when i started eating better on here. i am on so many meds. as the doctors told me years ago i was just doomed. because of the things that run in the family. but, DH is now taking garlic(he heard it's suppose to help), fish oil, and he said he will eat more veggies. i have always just fixed me some and not him. i always have a salad with dinner. maybe he will now too. anyway.
kat..good luck with the back. i have a bad back also, because i torn most of the muscles in my lower back many years ago. hope you feel btter. i would see a lawyer.
i hope everyone else has a great day......
will stop by later, cathy0 -
Good morning! Off we go for another day... Hope everyone has a good one :bigsmile:0

Hey there girlfriends! I am in a GREAT mood today! Went to spinning this morning and burned 627 calories, 40% fat! And all done before 8:30!!! Then came home...made some reduced fat blueberry muffins (from a box) and had one of those (130 calories) and made a fruit salad with apples, pears, grapes, and raspberries...YUM! We are going to a friends tonight to grill...Michael is there today helping him re-roof so he wanted to have us over for dinner. He said he has some turkey cutlets he will throw on the grill for us gals and he's gonna do steaks for the boys. Sounds good to me! NO idea what else he will have. I was thinking of cutting up a plate of fresh veggies and grabbing some fat-free dip to take over. Lunch should be no biggie...my bother and I will be running some errands for a while but will just make a sandwich or something here at home. So...should be a good day!
Cathy...my haircut is a little different...shorter in the back to add some volume (which is normally non-existent) but the front length is about the same as in my current picture. But, if I get some pictures I will post them!
Rogers...COOL! I LOVE cakes!!! Can't make them worth squat! But I LOVE to try! My mom was always so creative and made the coolest cakes for our birthdays! Have a BLAST!
Katy...oh my, hunni! I hope you get things all figured out. Yes...talk to the PT and make sure you understand how to properly do the exercises they suggest! Good luck!:flowerforyou:
Cass...I don't have any kids yet, but I know how precious they are and can't wait to be a mom someday! Enjoy while you can!!!
Rhiannon...Sounds like you have some fun going on! Good for you! And I'm so glad you liked spinning! I LOVE it! Wish I could go more, but really don't have the time. I'm looking into getting some spinning shoes...I hear it makes the workout so much better!
Deb...sounds like you are doing well. Keep it up!!
Well...I will try and check back later, but don't know if I will have time or not. If not, I will tomorrow for sure. Have a FABULOUS Saturday!!!
Oh! And still haven't stepped on the scale! SUPER anxious for Tuesday!!!!0 -
Hey everyone!
Morning starting off great- well except for the yearning to see the numbers on the scale lol. I slept in way late this morning..went to bed late though! Didnt go out, didnt drink any beer just had a 70 cal jello sugar free rice pudding!
So for bfast: fiber one cereal, skim milk, strawberries
lunch: not sure, maybe a salad with turkey or chkn
dinner: maybe somee soup or something!
snacks..oh my I may make this nacho dip for the UGA game tonight- velveeta cheese, salsa, chili and hamburger meat all mixed together! YUM! I will keep it at a minumum though!
exercise- today will be a walk of some sort of course!
Back is feeling pretty good right now, but it doesnt really start hurting until Ive been up for a few hours into the afternoon and evening! Well, I hope everyone has a great day today !!!
XOXO :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning Ladies,
Happy Saturday.
Plans for today, going on a hike with sister in law. 11 miles. Then out to lunch with a friend. Then dinner and a movie with another. I dont have my kids this weekend so I am taking full advantage.
Not sure about the menu today. You are all so good about figuring out what to eat early in the day. I am not so good at that. That is probably my problem. :grumble: Plus had a stomach problem last night that kept me up most of the night. I have acid reflux really badly. Doc wanted to do surgery but I would like to loose weight and change diet first to make sure that doesnt solve my problems. I am convinced for now that it is the answer!
So far having a white peach for breakfast. No plans beyond that.
Have a good day everyone! Chat soon...

Hello Beauties!!
Sounds like everyone has a really fun day planned! I got up and did Turbo Jam in my living room. It was 33 mins and I actually burned 447 calories...HOLLA!!! Food won't really be an issue today, I am going to be home most of the day and then kiddo and I are spending the night at my sisters house. I told her dinner needed to be something healthy. She laughed at me and asked why. I said because I'm trying to be healthy and she said " this week"...she is such an *kitten*!!! We are twins and there is huge competition between us. She has always been thinner than me; except when I was body building....its funny...I have a lot more muscle naturally so even if we are the same size clothes, I weigh more. Anyhow. I'm going to stay within calories...which the exercise calories helped out. Tomorrow hubby and I go to the Seahawks game, so I will try my hardest to be good tomorrow too! Weekends are soooo hard!
Have a great day!0 -
Okay just got done with my exercise...66 minutes of walking at the park! Lunch was another cinnamon raisin protein bar..they are just so good and so quick and easy to grab on the go! I am about to enjoy a yummy dinner of steak, baked potatoe and salad and will still be under my cals for they day I may go for another just leisure walk after dinner as well... So hope you guys are having a great weekend !!

I SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There can be nothing but bad news for me in store on Tuesday.
Every day this week there have been foods I just can't accurately account for and I haven't been able to do my regular exercise routine either :grumble: My measurements STILL haven't moved and I won't be surprised if I'm still in my plateau weight wise too because it FEELS like that. It's SO hard when I've got company here for the month though I wouldn't trade that for the world. However, my best friend will be gone from Monday to Friday so I think I'll try to get back into a very strict routine with myself this coming week. I also realize that I won't actually be able to weigh in until Wednesday morning (maybe a good thing?) because Leith and I have to be at the television station at 6am (I'm shooting a piece on baby wearing for their broadcast due to the upcoming tradeshow) and it will be a rushed and weird morning so I want to hold off till the next day for a normal routine.
Just had to vent. I keep trying to think about plateaus and how all of the "big losers" on here have had multiple plateaus and eventually things kick in again. But I feel like I don't know how to get through this. I think my measurements say a lot, and this plateau has been over 3 weeks and I feel like it will never end. I know I'm supposed to just keep on pressing through and making the right choices but I feel like this sudden influx of social scenarios is making that an even bigger challenge. Big picture. Big picture... I just need to find a way to get through it!
Thanks for listening ladies I hope you're all having a great weekend!! 0 -

ended the night ----EATING---- BUT, it feels good not getting on the scale this morning and seeing it didn't move or up a little.
so maybe, just maybe there is something to this scale thing. i have noticed that everyone seems in better moods this week, cause we aren't getting on the scales. no one is seeing the fluctuations in the scale that is caused by the bodies natural occurrences.
time to dress and getting to mowing the lawns to burn off what i ate last night and some extra.
later girls,

Hey everyone!
Chipper, dont worry about it youll be fine- one bad day wont ruin all your progress Thats what I always have to remind myself of! Plus, since we abolished the scale til Tuesday, if u did have any slight increase you wont even know it bc youll be back down by Tuesday! Kinda liberating eh??
I woke up this morning feeling bloated and was like omg I need to weigh..but youre right, this NOT weighing everyday has actually made me feel better about myself and not freaking out over the 0.2 to 2lb fluctuations that are normal..(Plus the steroids Im on some side effects are swollen face, bloating etc etc).
So bfast today was protein shake and some strawberries..not sure about lunch or dinner today. Exercise probably walking at the park again! May split it up into 30 min this morning and 30 this afternoon!!
Well hope you all are having a great weekend! :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning ladies! Hope everyone had wonderful Saturdays! I had a girls day full of shopping, going out to dinner and to the movies. It can never be a good thing to pack eating out and going to the movies together. I am disappointed in my choices but can only move forward. No scale for me today!
I am off to walk the Race for The Cure in about 15 min! Its always so crowded you can never get your heart rate up but at least I will be moving!
Then it is off for a 3 hour car ride to pick my oldest son from his father. 1 1/2 hours each way. Hate it but got to do it.
No meals planned today. I need to work on that. It is my downfall....any suggestions on getting this going ladies?

Good Morning,
I didn't get on the scale either, thought about it though. I agree that it really affects our moods.
Sorry about missing yesterday. I went to work in the yard all day, then Mom came over and we made lasagne. Then I played a bean bag game with the family and crashed on the couch. I know my calories were over yesterday.
Just like Pedal says, It is way too easy to get off track with friends and family around. I understand that is one of those things we need to learn to deal with. At the very least from now on, I need to keep track of my calories so I know how much I went over. With that said I better start working on today's menu. I'll check in later.
Hope everyone has a great sunday.:happy:0
