Glad to report as of Sunday, half our group has checked in with their weight.
I'm sure everyone else will be on tomorrow (Monday - Friday is always more popular and busy than Saturday & Sundays lol).
So, its almost midnight, and I can't sleep. I think my husband having to go back onto shift work did it. I was doing really good for a while (actually managing to get tired, and at least venture into the bedroom and rest before midnight!). But yesterday I couldn't sleep, and finally crashed out at almost 3am! Turned around woke up at 7am, stayed up all day, and here I am again.
Took some benadryl to help knock me out, so I'm sure I'll be asleep here soon. (I've tried Melatonin, doesn't work, I must be immune!) In the mean time, I'm boiling some eggs so I can make deviled eggs tomorrow. Thinking I might start making deviled eggs and hard boiled eggs as an on hand snack.
Anyways, see you all tomorrow. Good night [img]http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/animated emoticons/Activity Animated Emoticons/sleep on pillow.gif[/img]0 -
@ NeuroticVirgo
Thank you so much... I know that you watch my post on facebook so I know you know exactly what is going on and how I feel.0 -

I hard boil a whole thing of eggs and keep them in the fridge. It just makes it easy when I am lazy and don't feel like cooking. (::cough, cough:: everyday ::cough, cough)0 -
Hey my name is Chrystal.
My current weight is 307.
I am here but I am not able to sign on everyday. Some of you may know what is going on but to the one who don'e here it goes.
I am caring for my dying mother. She is dying of Liver failure and not doing good at all. We are thinking that she only has a couple more days.
With all the stess of caring for my mother it is hard to say to my diet. But once everything is done and taken care of I am planning of going back on my diet. It is just so much work to take care of everything here and all the stress. I am going through alot and I am taking a break from my weight loss journey. But I did not give up... Just taking a break.
So I try and stop and post updates on whats going on or how I am doing but not very often.
I am so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through. Just take care of yourself and your mother, we'll be here whenever you are ready.0 -

She has lots of dark hair and dark eyes and looks just like her Momma only with her Daddy's chin and ears. My current profile pic is me holding her last night. I will post a pic of just her soon.

I have a beautiful little girl myself who is 7 and I talk about her a lot! I will try and be back on later today but going to go and love on my niece now!0 -

Hi all! Sorry - I don't get on the computer much during the weekends - my app on my phone doesn't let me get to the boards.
Chrystal - you have quite a bit on your plate....so sorry that you have to go through this right now. My heart goes out to you, even though I don't even really know you.....
Learning2Love- don't dwell on the past - silly fb for bringing it up....just keep looking forward and make changes for the future.
nasue - congrats on the addition to your family! Yay for babies!!!!
My name is Becky and I weigh-in on Tuesdays. Last week I was at 238.6.
Looking forward to an awesome week...even though it is Monday!0 -
Sorry all, I don't normally get on a computer on the weekends. My Friday weigh in was 225.
I 'm excited, this is the first time I have actively sought out support on MFP.0 -
Good Morning, 353.4 today0

Hello ladies! Glad to be a continuing member! :bigsmile:
Starting weight, 209.0 -
Okay, I'm resetting my ticker.... 221 this morning. Today will be a good day... I'm going to get back on track! Now I have my twinny who is starting her journey too to help keep eachother in check and on track. For those who don't know - she is my office 'twin', we have practically everything in common, think alike (funny we both painted our fingernails last night but not our toes... and we haven't talked all weekend), and we look enough alike to easily pass as sisters.
Chrystal - So sorry to hear about your mother. You are such a great person to be taking care of her - I have no idea how I could ever handle that, you are a very strong woman! Don't ever forget that! And we are all here ready and willing to support you when you are ready to start your journey back up again.
Naesue - Congrats on being an aunt! Nieces & nephews are wonderful! I saw the picture you posted in the old group (old group? that doesn't sound right lol)... she is beautiful and so precious!!0 -
Wahoo! Was down to 248.3 this morning and had a great workout! And guess what???? I ran (jogged) for like... 2 minutes straight! Did running/walking intervals for a half hour... didn't think I could do it, but my friend was with me this morning and we were like "we GOT this!!!" And we actually did it! Felt like I was gonna puke and it hurt but holy cow it feels sooooo good!0

Monday NSV - had to put away a pair of my jeans into the fat jeans pile...pulled out a few of the skinny jeans and they are comfortable now. BTW, I have 270 as a goal for thanksgiving but I would really like to hit it this month. That would only be 12 pounds this month...I think that is do able!0
-
@ kimberly702 - awesome way to get motivated to do that exercise...I am so exhausted, just holding my head up feels like exercise.0
-
Weighed in this morning at 265. I would have posted this earlier but am taking care of new born pups.0

Monday NSV - I was looking for something to work out in this morning. I found an old pair of blue work out pants that I had not worn in years. They actually fit! Yeah!:bigsmile:0

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Aww I LOVE puppies, and new born ones are sooo cute! I currently have a silver lab that I'm fostering... she's not soo much of a puppy though-- she's 16 months old.0 -
mrssavvysteve:NSV-- All of the pants in my closet are pull on? (I mean they're not supposed to be yet they are!)
Sweet! I think you get to do some shopping, girl!
As it happens, my MFP friends, I have a pants-related NSV too. I have one pair of pants that aren't supposed to be pull-on. I dashed to the bathroom today and forgot about the button/zipper thing... but they came down without a hitch anyway! LOL0 -

With that lot on your plate you can be forgiven for putting diet to the back and taking a short break,,0 -
Hello
Sorry for delay didn't see this until earlier today. Current weight as of 3 mins ago is 221.
Just to give you quick who I am etc. I work for an education software company which basically means I am geek (or so my partner says) with a four year old who keeps us on our toes.

I'm loving all of your NSV's today... congrats to all of you with pants falling off! I can't wait until I can say the same.
I will try my best at this challenge! I'm getting back into the swing of things again... don't know if I'll hit 30 minutes everyday but I will definitely do some sort of exercise everyday. I'm trying to get back into rollerblading (I used to rollerblade for hours as a teen)... now I can only last about 10 minutes on skates, but I can blast 100 calories in those 10 mins which is amazing to me. Someday I'll be able to skate for hours again 0 -

Do your twin will go ice skating? You two should go to the rink, its the same a roller bladeing, but almost more fun because its COLD in Arizona. LOL You can also break up the exercise. Maybe do a 10 min walk on your lunch break, then you only have 20 more minutes 0 -

@Learning2LoveMe - I had to reset my ticker last week (and couldn't decide if I should this morning - up two pounds, but had a lot of sodium yesterday and TOM, so I'm holding off.) Anyway - It's so good to keep yourself honest, congrats! And awesome about your twin.
@Chrystal - let us know we we can help support you if possible. Many positive thoughts are being sent your way.
@NeuroticVirgo - awesome challenge!! I SOO needed this particular aspect of my life to get a kick in the *kitten*. Thanks

a better pic of the niece!
Monday NSV- I was able to wear my husbands boxers last night to bed. When we first got married I couldn't even get them on over my fat belly and thighs!0 -
NSV Monday- Well a few weeks ago I'd been a bit sad because no one seemed to notice my weight loss yet. I was feeling better but it felt like no one else could see it. In any case I went to the store to get some new work clothes and surprise, surprise I had lost a shirt size! Not only that but my bra size had dropped from a 46C to a 42D. I wasn't sad anymore!! :bigsmile:0

Congrats to everyone on their NSV's!!! I can't wait until someone notices my weight loss
naesue that niece of yours is too cute!0
