  • Okay, so... weigh in was 231.2 which I think is slightly up from the last weigh in before my pass, but WAY better than the 240ish I registered after my birthday weekend (which is why I took the pass!).

    Will catch up on posts and write a longer message in a bit.
  • Here we go!

    Crystal, your story about the dog cracked me up! I'm sorry you're having so many issues with your kiddo's dad. That's not an easy situtation at all.

    Victoria, Happy anniversary!! You're an amazing lady.

    Tasha, my pooch is a poodle mix of some sort. I got her at the SPCA, so I'm not sure and am not curious enough to pony up the cash for those doggie DNA tests. She's an awesome pooch and that's all I need to know! How did you manage to eat just ONE serving of ice cream?! I always get frustrated with ben and jerry's because I think a serving size is like... 1/4th a cup? How does someone eat just 1/4th cup of ice cream!?

    Welcome to Janette, Maureen and Michelle! This is an awesome group of ladies, and we share a lot of info, so don't be scared to jump right in!

    Hosanna, you poor dear with all that barf. I hope you're feeling much better. I've never barfed from drinking but on my birthday, I went to shake someone's hand I'd just been introduced to and knocked his beer over and shattered the glass on the table... great impression.

    Megan, totally feel your frustration on the relationship with food issue. I have a seriously hard time too. I do what you mentioned, but I also do this horrible thing where if the scale goes down I'm like "ooh! I'm doing well! Let's go get mexican food!" or something like that. Like I'm totally sabotaging myself. What is that!?

    Sarah (WnT), my thoughts go out to your friend. That's so rough. It's wonderful that she has such a good friend to her to take care of her family.

    As for me, I had a crazily lazy weekend. Joe had to work all weekend to cover his boss's schedule as boss was out of town, so we had very little time together, and he was in a very craptacular mood having had to work for 8 days straight without a break. Friday, we bought a couple steaks and asparagus which Joe cooked. Saturday I spent pretty much the entire day at a friend's house with her hubby and two boys till Joe got off work, then he came over to the house as well. We stayed pretty late watching MMA fights and went home. I'm not into MMA, so I was on the couch playing plants v. zombies the whole time. Sunday I was LAZY to the max and caught up on some of the contents of my DVR till Joe got off work and came over. Not a damn thrilling thing at all. Which is great after last weekend's birthday excitement.

    I probably shouldn't post this link, but it has a recipe for just about every cake you can imagine.

    Well, I kept checking in here all weekend, and nothing...now that I'm busy at work, you all want to be chatterboxes.

    So, without any formal exercise, I have lost almost another pound this weekend. Unfortunately, I will still not get anything formal in (other than a little 2 mile walk I HAVE to do for a challenge) because we are rearranging the bedrooms in my house. I actually spent 8 total hours this weekend just cleaning out my mom's room...nightmare!!! Over the next couple of days, I have to get it all put back together. I'm so exhausted, and I hope this work week goes quickly!

    Have a great Monday all!!

  • 281.0

    TOM is due any second now, so I would imagine that number is going to go up, before it goes down. :grumble:

    I love waking up to a fresh food diary every morning, knowing I can fill it with good choices or bad ones...it's all up to me.

    Happy Monday, ladies!!
  • Megan - Those pizzas sound good! I usually make them on an English muffin, cut in half. I throw them in the toaster oven and they turn out pretty darn awesome. Annette - I'd assume it means the same both places. :)

    Michelle - Welcome! I'm ignorant, so can you tell me how much a stone is? :) Also, happy early birthday to your little guy!

    Kendal - Awesome picture. :) I know lots of people that way - my old self being one of them.

    *****************~~~~~~~~~~~~***************265.1*****************~~~~~~~~~~~~***************

    I've been SO out of it - diet and exercise wise - while being on this Vicodin. Feeling a lot better, though, so hopefully back in the swing of things. Also, really looking into spending more than I'd like to for a gym membership next month.
  • When I'm on my best behavior, and thinking about it, I make my "pizza" in a portabello mushroom. extra veggies, lower carbs :) plus, when in a mushroom cap, a single serving of pepperoni goes a long way.

  • FYI - this post 492 and the thread will flip to a part 2 when we reach 500 posts. There will be a link to the new thread in the last post or friend one of us and see when we post to it. I hope everyone follows us there and doesn't lose any long posts :)
  • I'l catch up tonight... but I haven't logged on 4 four days, or tracked food. Or counted food. And I am FOUR POUNDS heavier. I came back from vacation lighter and then proceeded to slde off the wagon.... Was camping and eating camp food and not bothering to reduce portions.

    I am sad and embarrassed but starting new today, weighing in at 196.

    [and by the way, the mobile ap would have worked just fine where I was}

    On the positive side, I'm back. My younger son (21) is home from Singapore for a little bit and we spent a lot of time with him this weekend and it was wonderful. For all of you in the middle of raising kids or (worse yet) teenagers: It is wonderful when they grow up and they are absorbing all the lessons you are teaching them. So worry less and enjoy them more! Advice my mom gave me and I ignored:

    Hi everyone, this week I lost 2.2 lbs. a little disappointed because I was losing more than 5 lbs a week, but I realized sooner or later the lbs were going to be less every week... happy to have lost though:smile:

    Hello from Bruges, Belgium! I'm having tons of fun with Lacey and walking a TON! I haven't read back in the posts since I've been out of town but I just wanted to say hi and pass on the weigh in this week. I'll catch up with you ladies again on Thursday.
  • Amy and Lacey - have fun for us!!!
  • Laceylala

    Hey all!! As Amy had mentioned we made it to Bruges..after taking the wrong commuter train..but since it heads in the right direction anyways we still arrived at the same time. I'm starting to get super super tired. I was already super tired but the two weeks is hitting me hard today. Tomorrow I have The Big Meeting and then I am done with work and will fly home Thursday. After I buy another piece of luggage to fit everything in that is.
    Take care all and see you this weekend.

    Good lordy its nice to see all the new people but I really don't know how I will keep up and be able to respond to everyone if it continues to grow like this! Wowza:drinker:
  • Jessi, 1 stone = 14lbs I believe.

    Amy and Lacey, have SO much fun! I've already seen a picture posted by Amy that looks like one of the cafes in the main square, like across from the bell tower? If that's where it is, I've been there!!! That city is so lovely. Definitely recommend the canal tour.

    yay, Kendal!!
  • I really could use group support with my weight loss. I have made up my mind and I am going to do this!!! I just need some help figuring out the best weights to burn calories. The eating part... well obviously at 297 lbs im a pro at it. Ha, yea my downfall is cooking. I love to cook, and of course you want to taste your food. My main problem is sugar intake, I have a crazy addiction to carbs/sugar. I also DESPISE sweetner as a substitute for sugar, I can't stand the taste of it. Anyway, about myself--- I am 26 years old, college student, future skinny ***** :D

    I want to lose 150 lbs. That is a lot of weight, but omg I can't imagine how I would feel so much better. So if i can find a good team to keep my spirits up and comfort me when im struggling.. I really think that I can do this!!!

    Please feel free to add me and I look forward to this 6 week journey with everyone!!!

    Now that I'm home, here's the last call out for those who haven't weighed in. Please do so by the end of the day. I'll post weights tomorrow morning. As this is week #2 of logging in, I'll start calling out peeps who haven't weighed in last week either, making this their second week with no weight, and I'm then dropping them from the chart.

    These are peeps I'm missing (or I missed your post):
    Lacey & Amy I'll give a pass, obviously, you globe trottin' divas!

    It never ceases to amaze me that I do Jillian Michaels EVERY DAY and I still sweat like it's my first time. I now have one of those super-sexy sweat-head bands to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Never IN. MY. LIFE. did I think I would need that. In fact, I am pretty sure I made fun of people who wore them.

    Half-marathoners: I have done one half in 2008 and completed it in 3:11. I have only done one other race ever...and it was a 5k. i am experiencing some CRAZY anxiety about my race. I know I have done the work. I know I can do it. I have not slept in 3 nights thinking about it and it's not until 10/16. And, since I'm not sleeping, I am eating like I'm stocking up to hibernate. I need some help...please. My goal is to finish under 3 hours. Originally I wanted 2:45 or better, but as long as it's under 3...I'm going to feel like a rockstar. But I can not stop thinking about it when i go to bed. Help. Please.
