OK call me crazy!!!! I am taking a little lunch break, I couldn't stop myself from checking our tread :laugh: I had to log in my food :bigsmile:

Way to go Megger123 - I can't wait to try the ballet thingies...I was going to do them before my step class tonight, but after your comment I might wait till after class, our teacher tonight is one of those perfect body teachers that uses 3 risers and will come do squats next to you if you are slacking!!!! I will need all my energy for that~~~ I'm glad to hear you have some eye candy to work with


Stebibll ~ way to go with your with your clothes fitting better...I have to try to work off that more that the dumb scale numbers!!! It does feel great to make someone's day!!! Way to Go!!!:bigsmile:

Mollybeslimmer ~ GREAT JOB!!!!:flowerforyou: It's so nice when the family notices our hard work! Sometimes it's harder for them since they see us every day. It means ALOT to hear it from them.

I talk too much huh :embarassed: I just know that with all this support I can't help but make it to my goal!!!

Thanks ~ Judy :flowerforyou:

Thank you for the acknowledgements on my success but I really dont deserve it. Although I have not lied about my numbers, it was not just my work that dropped so much.
My thyroids are VERY VERY BAD! They cant seem to control them, Im either too high or too low and simply cant be regulated.
Im also not eatting like I should (only about 500 calories a day) mostly celery soup and yogurt and then I exercise about that much every day. I have been under an emense amount of stress with a nasty divorce from a man who is mean, spiteful and vendictive and recently threatened to press criminal charges against me for signing a check when we were married. And to add to the mess I was just informed that my bone density is shot (thanks to my thyroid and a complete hysterectomy in 05) what that means is my 36 old body has bones of a 65-70 year old woman I have already broken a bone. I have only told my 3 closest friends this news and im not sure why im letting it all go here but this is me....
SO PLEASE give the credit to someone who truly deserves it for their hard work and not someone who isnt doing what they should do to lose the weight.....

OMG!!!! So much going on. I am sorry to hear it!:frown: At least the weight loss is a tiny bright side!!! You deserve it! Hang in there and Take CAre of yourself!!! Try your best to take some time out for you :flowerforyou: Have you taken yoga before??? It will get you strong and give you the time you need to relax!! It is a great thing and teachs you to push away your stresses and enjoy the class time just for you. It charges your batteries

Just a thought ~ hang in there

My compliment story: I complimented my cousin who has been inspired to start a fitness journey. I told her good job and even offered her a dvd to get started. I also complimented a stranger on her hair and it made her smile.

It feels good to compliment others and I love receiving them. There's nothing like having someone notice that you are making a difference in your life especially when you are losing weight. I don't get that alot in real life mostly because I am home with my children and the hubby pretends not to notice that I have lost almost seventy pounds since having my sixth child:-(. That's okay because I feel awesome and nothing can bring me down or stop me from reaching my goal.

I'm not sure where you are but the general law about signing a spouses check, especially while married, is that its allowable. Don't stress about it. It won't get you jail time, sounds like he is being an *kitten*. PLEASE eat more than 500 calories a day!! You are going to run yourself into the ground or end up in the hospital. I hope you are ok, if you need to talk we are all always here!

I have had a great week this week and am even making progress getting my son to eat vegetables! (No small feat with him!) I have been challenging my body to slowly do more and more exercise since the dr.'s released me to do whatever I can tolerate. I will be starting physical therapy soon and plan to use the physical therapist as my own personal trainer since they will be working on my back and legs anyway (I have 0 core strength thanks to a recent pregnancy and several bulging and torn discs). I also found out that I do not (currently) have MS and it looks like they are just tumors on my spinal cord. Still have to see a neurologist to make sure they don't have to do anything about them right now, but things are looking much better than a week ago.

I complimented a woman yesterday while I was at my son's Kindergarten Readiness program about her hair and her sons behavior (he had behavior problems). She was beaming the rest of the time! I am pretty free with compliments and it feels great to see how much better they can make others feel!

My compliment story:
So Tuesday night my 3 year old daughter fell down the stairs at our house and broke her arm. So of course I run her to the ER. Anyways the staff at the ER was great I kept telling all of the staff thanks for all you do. They had true empathy for us and my little one.. I thanked the orthopedic dr for helping my little girl and he got the biggest smile on his face. I know he is doing his job but what a difference the amazing medical staff do for us... I couldn't be more grateful for how they helped my little one... It was a tramstic night for all Of us an they were all great!!

Ok so here is my compliment for the challenge...

I noticed on Facebook that a girl who works for my dad was writing about wanting to lose weight and get in shape and how she feels like it will be a lot of work and difficult. I have never spoken directly to her, but I sent her a private message encouraging her to start her journey into fitness and even suggested that she check out this website!!

Hellooooooooo! This week STINKS for me. Bleh! :grumble: TOM is here, but not here. Did that make sense? In other words, he's 'supposed' to be here, and the symptoms of him are here, except for one key thing, nothing is happening! Great, it's just all bundled up inside. What's it waiting for? No idea. I have the bloating, the cramps, the irritability, the 'man, I'm so tired I could sleep for 40 days' feeling, the 'how many potato chips and how much chocolate can I eat' feeling. It was all I could do to keep up with Zumba this morning. My arms were dragging, my legs were dragging, my everything was dragging.

So, I'm not very happy. I'd like for TOM to just go away, but until Aunt Flo arrives, TOM isn't going anywhere! :sad:

Will post my weight and measurements tomorrow, as usual. Thanks for letting me vent!

I hope your little girl is doing better! My son broke his arm when he was that age! It is a traumatic event when something like that happens, but it sounds like you handled it really well. :-) Have a great week! ~ Christine

I feel like just giving up completely. My weight is back up to my starting weight of the challenge and there wasn't any change in my measurements. I was doing good for the first couple weeks but I kind of gave up and now look at me. Back in the same spot.

Ok... I am up I knew I would be
CW: 168.4 I think it is Tom,but?? No Excuses...so.. :noway:
here are my measurment are:
bust: 38 same
waist: 33 -1
fat/hips 37.5 -1
thigh: 21 same
arm: 12.5 -1
So I guess thats good, I lost 3 total inches...I just wish I could figure out the scale better..

Anyways Last night I took my daughter shopping and we ended up in Cato's (clothing store) and I keep looking at clothes and looking but nothing really jumped out at me and a sales lady came over and asked if I needed help and I nicely said no..I just cant find anything...I think its just me I have lost some weight and now I dont know what clothes to wear..and she looked at me and said I totally know what your going through! I have just lost 50lbs! and thats why some of my clothes are so baggy, and she pulled on her shirt to show me! I told her congradulations and told her how great she looked! I really would have never guessed she was ever bigger she looked great! I told her that, and that I just thought she was like those pretty teenage girls they usually hire..her face lit up like a Christmas tree!!! It felt great! I know she had to work hard, so I am glad she told me!! and I could compliment her!!
