    Congrats to bohlon15 on reaching your goal and to the other ladies for making such great progress. I'm never going to reach mine at this rate, but at least the propgression continues in the right direction. My weekly weigh-in today show I lost .2. Talk about desperate measures! It would help to exercise more, but I'm getting physical therapy for my hip and I'm not supposed to walk and do weight bearing exercise. I'm cheating and doing some before physical therapy - hoping to undo the damage. Oh well. You are all inspiring. I will just have to make more of an effort to be eat right.
    Have agreat week-end everyone and be strong. Turkey day will be here soon.

    Morning ya'll-

    here's my check in....not good:
    Last Week: 150
    This Wekk: 150
    Original Thanksgiving goal: 146
    New Goal: 148 (seeing as there's only a few weeks left and i apparently am not losing ANY weight, i'm upping my goal a little to make it a little more attainable.)

    So feeling kinda poopy about the whole thing, but what else can i do?!

    I HAVE decided that i'm changing my eating up a little, getting a little more varity in there. and i'm also doing Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred. I'm going to shoot for 6 days a week, but most likely do 5. which is fine w/ me. So maybe that'll help a little, and i'm going to continue to run/walk also on the nice days (lately it's been like 60 mph winds, yuck!)

    so wish me luck for next week that at least i'm down something! And good luck to everyone else, keep it up...we'll get there, even if it takes us till christmas, or even next thanksgiving!!!

    Laura

    Hey everyone I hope all is going good. Zaza .2 is good you lost something so that is great. No weigh in for me this week my monthly present arrived on Wednesday and it's bad so I'm not stepping near that scale. I have done good all week though with exercising and staying with in my calories but I feel so fat :sad: I hate the way I feel at that time of the month so blah....... I'm an so tempted to eat everything too but I am controlling myself. I will post my scale results next week hopefully they will be good. Good luck to everyone Thanksgiving is just around the corner right under 3 weeks away. Keep up the good work!

    Hi all,
    I have had the worst and best week. I need to vent! The best part is that my 25 month old has been potty training since monday and has it down pack! Yea, we were out all day today and he even went to the bathroom in a restaurant potty! Hurray, no more diapers! So, for starters, I haven't worked out much this week, due to potty training. I did pretty good on cal's at the first of the week, but then on Thursday night, my little brother was in a horrible accident. He is in the hospital now, with a broken pelvic bone, tibia and a shattered ankle. Talk about stress. It is a lot better than the doc's thought it would be though. They were worried about his back and thought he may be paralized. So thank the Lord for small miracles that he is not. For the past two days, I have eaten everything in site. But, I am ready to get back on the horse tomorrow and kick some tushie before thanksgiving! Thanks for letting me vent! Keep up the good work everyone!

    Sorry to hear about your brother jenifergotti but yes thank god that he is alright. I can't even imagine the stress your under don't worry about eating everything in sight it's so hard when something bad happens to stay on track. Congrats on no more diapers we are going to start potty training in January hopefully it will go as smoothly as my first daughter. Stay motivated you only have 6lbs to go!:happy:

    Jenifer- I am so sorry about your brother...but yes, thank the lord it's not as bad as orginally thought. I know kinda what you're going thru, my dad was in the hospital two weeks ago for an infection in his skin, well it turns out that because of some MRI he got b/c of the infection they found a tumor in his neck.:cry: We don't know much yet, but I KNOW everything happens for a reason. even if its the most terrible news you've ever been told. I'm going to keep my head up and pray, hope, and pray some more that it's just a small growth and not cancer. And you keep your head up too. (and it's ok if you have a little, or big, munch attack. as long as you know what your doing and why, then it'll be another day and you can start all over!)

    Stay Strong,
    Laura

    So, I have hit my thanksgiving day goal already so now I am going to 6 more pounds. that will put me at 192. my waist has gone down 5 inches at my real waist. 2 inches were I wear my jeans and 21/2 inches around my chest. :bigsmile: :drinker: :bigsmile:

    WAY TO GO! You are doing great. Keep up the good work.:smile:

    Thank you!! I am really trying. Before I found this website I would step on the scale and it would be the same or higher and now everyday that I step on it it is going down. That is the best feeling ever. I weigh myself in the morning and at night and the night weight is almost under 200 the morning one is just under 198 so pretty soon I will be out of the 200 forever!:bigsmile:

    I meant to ask, Jennifer, how is your brother? I was so sorry to hear about his terrible accident. I hope he is recovering well.
  • jenifergotti
    jenifergotti Posts: 325 Member
    He is doing pretty well, considering! He has already started his physical therapy and got his cast on yesterday. He did have one small set back, during his first session of therapy, his pelvic bone popped back out of place! Ouch poor kid. He is in good spirits and is giving the nurses a run for their money!
    Thanks for your concern!

    Hey Laura,
    Just wondering how your Dad is doing? Do they know any more info.?? I hope he is doing better. :flowerforyou:

    Thanks jenifer. he's doing a little better, his swelling in his face from the skin infection has gone down, and he's looking more "normal" (if that's possible:bigsmile: ) They did get tests results back about the tumor and we have some good news: the tumor isn't "attached" to anything like a vein or artery, it's kinda like free floating. so they're going into surgery on the 18th to take it out and biopsy it. so we'll find out more on the 18th. It'll be ok, i'm trying to keep everyone positive.:wink:
