Crystal- That is so irritating!!! The point in teaching them is because they are young and they will learn faster now!!!!

JENNY!!!!! I am sooooooooo glad you are back!!! Sorry to hear that you are so sick! I hope that you and Saul feel better really soon! (((HUGS))) Ever since I got the go ahead from the dr I put it in high gear. I did not eat well at all this weekend (was so nervous about the bleeding) and then the not working out. So anyway the machine is back hahahahahaha.

Enjoy Bob night I know I will!

:glasses: Hey!! Just bumpin to post & read later!! I'm busy crying during the Biggest Loser... :sad:

tabbyh25

Who else agrees that tonight's Biggest loser is very inspirational? i see myself in all of them when they first started out. I just wish I could do a full marathon after I lose the 100 lbs I need too.

CrystalOKeefe

:glasses: Hey!! Just bumpin to post & read later!! I'm busy crying during the Biggest Loser... :sad:

I know oh my goodness what an amazing episode
I was Mad at Ron but OMG he made it the whole 26.2 miles gotta give him credit!!!!

I cant believe they are below the lint together though Tough situation there ...

jennyeckel

AWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: I didn't get to see the whole thing!!!!! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :mad: :sad:

So i don't know what happened. The last I got to see was jillian in the car to go to ron and mikes.

What did ROn do??? Did Mike really fall off the wagon with his eating??? What is goinggg onnn!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha *deep breath* its ok I will be fine just hyperventilating a little hahahahaha

Forgot that there was a meeting I had to go to last night so I missed out. Anyways. Saul and I are staying home togeather. He has a cough that I don't lik so lots of snuggling on the couch. I am not goign to excersise today, my chest hurts from my cold but i will take dogs out for a nice walk when papa gets home from work.

loves to all and will be in and out all day:bigsmile:
jenny

KZOsMommy

Jenny real quick, Ron was able to walk the 26.3 miles of the marathon!!! Even though it took him like 13+ hours. Mike did not fall off the wagon with his eating (at least they did not show that) but he did hurt his hip bad enough that he had to walk the marathon which mad him mad. Along the marathon there were different people to run/walk with each of them. Family and former BL contestants. Tara crossed first (of course) and then Helen and then Mike and a long time later Ron. They each got 10,000 dollars for the charity of their choice. They all weighted in after being home for 30 days. Ron lost 10lbs, Mike lost 10lbs, Helen lost 7 and Tara lost 10 (I think). Helen and Tara were above the yellow line and Ron and Mike are below. America has to vote for either Mike or Ron to be in the final. They each had to talk to America as to why they should be in the finale and Ron told everyone to vote for Mike.

Man did I miss anything??? Oh Jillian and Bob went to each persons house and helped them through what ever they were having problems with and both trainers were there to help Max (Mike's brother).

Hope that helps ya

sanifrey

Awesome job on that recap Amanda!! :drinker:

Jenny, so great to have you back! I hope that you're feeling better soon!

Crystal, you too!! I hope TOM is on his way out!!

Tabby, I agree, the BL was very good last night! I especially liked the parts where they all were talking to the fitter, healthier versions of themselves. It's just so amazing to see how far they've all come! That Tara is unstoppable! She's been my pick since the beginning! And, how great is Helen?? 48 years old & running a marathon?? So great!

So, I drink lots of water, I just don't know how much! So, I grabbed one of those giant plastic jugs that holds my 8 glasses for the day. I figure this way, I'll know exactly where I'm at! Last night I filled it up with Brita water & put it back into the frige so that it would be cold & ready for me today! I'm almost done with it now!! :drinker:

CrystalOKeefe

Oh Sandy I wish..... I hate this so much ... I dont get normal cramps. They arent in my belly the are across my lower back just like back labor pains, it is so weird actually feels like contractions cause it increases and decreases in pain. I didnt feel like doing anything last night I didnt even do the dishes ... But when I got up today my Hubby had done the dishes after he got home from work He is such a great guy I love him .... Today not feeling much better .....a while ago I had exploritory surgery to see why I have so much pain, and he said that he removed a cyst and some endometriosis... after that I didnt have pain for a couple months and now it is back..... so he said that if I still had issues with the pain I could have a hysterectomy they would leave my ovaries. I am not sure that I want to have another surgery.

But good news this afternoon I got on the scale and it said 149.4 which is up .4 but thats great considering tom and I had already eaten !!

Jenny I hope you and your little Saul get feeling better really soon too!!

tabbyh25

Well TOM just started visiting me today. I am in alot of pain like always. when TOM visits I am usually out of commision for at least 2 days in pain. I hope that it does not affect my weigh in on Friday. I am hoping that I am not holding alot of water in by weigh in.

Sanifrey, I do the same thing as you did with the water. I just don't like to drink water but I am doing much better. Now if I can do the same with the food. I do good until I get home after work. I am so stressed that I want to eat something fattening. Just to let you know I work as a preschool teacher to
3-5 year olds

sanifrey

Oh Crystal!! Oh Tabby!! The darn blasted TOM!! Messin with my girls!! :mad: :mad: Feel better!!

Crystal, what a sweet man you have at home!! Dishes??!! Awesome!! Give him a high five from me!! What a keeper!! Sounds like you had a good weigh in!! One good poo & you'll be way under!! :laugh: I wish you the best in making the decision for the surgery or not. I can understand how hard of a choice that may be for you.

Tabby, I bet you have a stressful job!! I have one 3 year old & that's enough!! LOL!! How many children are in your class at one time?? At the end of the day after I put my girls to bed (1 & 3) I sit down at the computer & drink a cup of coffee & that usually helps me with my evening cravings for sugar.

Jenny!! *Handing Jenny a paper bag* Breathe girl, breathe!! BL was great! If you get a chance you really need to watch them run that marathon, the way Mikey tears up when his father crosses the finish line is just priceless!! & You & Saul, feel better k?!!

What is with this spring time cold thing?? My girls have been sick all week!! I want the snot to just go away!!

Amanda, how've you been feeling?? How are "things" going??

MIna & Laura, how are you girls hanging in there?? From the looks of our spreadsheet, you're keeping busy!! I'm gonna try to get my pushups in again tonight, I just gotta ... get... off... this.. couch! LOL!! :laugh: :laugh:

Connie, Kathy, Meloni, Jennifer, Kelly & Shannon, are you girls still with us?? Haven't seen ya around much & we miss you!
Also, our members who have been missing for more than a week - Christa, Christy, Gloria & Kim - Come back!! :sad:

Hey, did anyone spot those boots that Jillian was sportin' at the weigh in?? The heel on those things were CRAZY!! She's so cool! & Bob, what to say about Bob?? ...... I"ll leave that up to Jenny!!

Good night girls! Anyone I missed, my apologies, as I'm multi tasking here watching back episodes of Grey's Annatomy & catching up on my threads!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

tabbyh25

Sanifrey- I have 17 little ones in my class at a time. Lucky me:grumble: I only have 13 days until summer vacation and then I can focus on me and my husband and 2 children.

Crystal- I hope you feel better soon.

laurajoyk

Why is it that the TOM makes you so cranky? I am in the worst mood ever. Its not good, cause I am not normally a cranky person. I got home and did my workout while dinner was cooking and everything my poor boyfriend is doing is making me mad for some reason. I hate that. I just want to be in a good mood. He just got home last night after being gone for a week and a half. :sad: I can't wait till the TOM is gone and I can be normal again.

I did my upper body and core today along with a bit of lower body LOL I am still so sore from working out with my trainer Monday!

Hopefully we all get a nice last chance workout in.

CrystalOKeefe

You know what I ind completely odd !!! TOM visits us all around the same time LOL !!!

Today I am feeling much much better!! YAY !! I have to go grocery shopping this morning. My Mom is coming down tonight and staying till saturday. Saturday we are having a BBQ for Maeves Birthday. I am not sure what we are gonna make yet.. But I know that I will be having Grilled chicken !! I always make spagetti salad MY Fave !! I suppose I can make it healthier by using wheat pasta and fat free italian dressing the rest is veggies.

I need to get back into the routine, maybe later I will get on my new exercise bike my mom got me from a yardsale..

Yeah Sandy he is a great guy.. I love him bunches !!

Well ladies what is the other shows we all get into?
I watch Bones, House, Daisy of love, Deadliest Catch ( Which is on during TBL) I try and catch it other times...... I miss ER .... I dont care for Southland

KZOsMommy

I hope all you ladies with TOM get to feeling better!!!

Sandy- I am doing ok. Today is day two of no spotting so hope it continues!!! Thank you so much for asking and for all the well wishes from everyone

Ok girls I am getting down here. I am working my *kitten* off and keeping my calories at around 1400-1500 a day (1400 is my min to loose 1lb a week) and I have weighted myself for the last two mornings before I ate or drank anything and I am still 152! I am getting really upset about it. I did measure myself and I am loosing inches!

These are my measures from March 2nd on the left and March 16th in the middle and today on right....

Chest- 37 36 33

Upper arm- 11.5 12 11

Waist- 35.5 34 29

Hips- 38.5 36 33

Thighs- 22 21 20


I just want that scale to show it too!!! What can I do to help me loose some more weight? Any thoughts?

I am headed to my parents for about three weeks starting this weekend. They have a treadmill so I may change up my work outs to running and not so many dvd's. I will still be around here to talk to you lovely ladies

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL day! And don't forget to work your butt off in your last chance workout!!!!


Amanda

sanifrey

HOLY CRAP Amanda!!!! Those measurements are AWESOME!! You have alot to be proud of!! I'm glad that you're feeling a bit better. I hope that you enjoy your visit with your parents. It's funny that you mention that treadmill workouts because I was considering getting away from the dvd's as well. I was checking my little black exercise book & saw that I lost the most weight when I was doing the treadmill more often, so I'm with you on that one! Let's compare notes & see if there's a difference!

Crystal, I was thinking the same thing about how everyone is on their TOM at the same time. Everyone, that is... .. except for me!! :sad: :sad: I feel so left out!!:sad: :sad: I'll get over it! We are talking about TOM not being picked last for kick ball!! LOL!! When I have mine all by myself you'll all be soooo jealous!! (ya right...!!!) LOL!! Enjoy your visit with your mum! The BBQ sounds wonderful! Grilled chicken & speghetti salad!! YUM-O!! As far as shows, I watch: LOST, Heroes, Grey's Annatomy, Top Model, Hell's Kitchen, BL (of course) & I miss ER too! I still have the final episode on my DVR & just can't bring myself to watch it yet!!

Laura, feel better! It's tough when we know we're being cranky & yet we can't seem to not be!! I sometimes say in my head to myself why don't you just shut up & quit talking & being so miserable! Hang in there!!

Tabby, 17!!! Good gravey!! So, you're the one to ask about the ins & outs of the toddler mind then?? My 3 year old is a trip!! Everything has to be her idea! She's been wearing the same shirt for almost 3 days now!! LOL!! Good thing is we're home, because she's sick, but it's the only one she'll wear!! She's a hoot!!

Jenny, I hope that you & Saul are feeling better! This snot has got to run out, right??

Today should be last chance workouts but I so desperately need a REST day & I'm taking it! Hopefully the scale will be cooperative!

Have a great day!

KZOsMommy

Thank you Sandy! I am proud of what I have done so far! Like I say just want the scale to show it too so I can win this bet lol. I lost most of my weight on the treadmill as well. I would love to compare notes with you about it! Wish I never sold my treadmill :sad: It is so hard to get to the gym to use one often enough.
As for the TOM I am not on with the rest of them either. I am just ovulating so I have about two weeks until mine shows up. Maybe we are on the same schedule?

jennyeckel

:huh: *ducks behind a corner and looks suspiciosly around while whispering* ok girls....I think.....the SNOT IS GONEEEEEEE hahahaha well almost!! man this thing got me down BADDDddd I am feeling sooooo better this afternoon!!! I brought saul to school and came home just POOPED haha seriously like I was only up for like an hour and half and I felt like a ton of bricks hit me.

It's a conspiracy man.... So I have kicked eveil "jinny" to the curb when I was dropped off and going to burn it off...it is probalby "only" 1000 cals give or take *rolls eyes* :bigsmile:

Plaintiff Jenny sugar ray eckel
vs
The state of MFP and BL health attack

charge
eating too many calories

I would like to ammend the alleged fore mentioned "1000 cals" blizzard.....it was only 765....WHAT OMIGOSH I ATE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let the record show that the plaintiff has fallen over in a coma induced by shock and too much sugar.

The judge rules the plaintiff to serve 2 hours doing excersise and a promisary note stating that the plaintiff will not go near the afore mentioned blizzard again for atleast 60 days. At which time another course of action might be granted.....

Court dismissed

Judge Jenny

Hey One and All!
How are you all? Have just read the new thread and Im joining the TOM gang!......kinda creepy that the group is synchronised:noway:
I confess I havent done a stitch of exercise since last week so nothing down on my chart this week.
I was at the hospital last weekend as I have had infected glands in my neck and an ear infection.......so what with that, TOM and my daughter's birthday to prepare for (so far have made 3 birthday cakes and 2 more to make for Sunday).....counting calories and doing stuff for 'me' has taken a back seat.
I saw my exercise buddy today and have scheduled our next session for Tuesday morning ....as parties will all be over on Sunday, TOM will have passed and hopefully medicines will have done their job by then. Im not usually a whimp but this infection has hammered me.
Checking in, in advance to say that Im not going to step on the scales tomorrow morning as I dont want to demotivate myself and I dont deserve to have lost anything this week.
Looking forward to getting back on track now
Speak soon
Kelly

tabbyh25

The other shows that I HAVE to watch is Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

Sandy- About your daughter's issue with her shirt. It has to be her idea about changing shirts. What I do at school is to give the child 3 choices and let them pick what they play with. And they think it was their idea.

I am hoping that Iat least stayed where I was last week. I feel so BLOATED and sick. Hopefully I can make it through the last chance workout.

constancemwj

Hay everyone, :happy: :happy:
I'm back and was feeling so very guilty, :embarassed: I've totaly gone off the wagon all week.....
And missed you ladies
I had to make a quick unexpected trip. and forgot my lap top & no internet.... then I got back tuesday
just in time to watch my daughters last track meet. and then off to her school for her music concert.... So I completely missed BL and felt so bad.... But I wouldn't of missed Lynsey Concert for it....They where great . By the way thanks for the great recap, now I don't feel so bad. but next Tuesday night . I have a date with my TV....Then yesterday I had so much catching up with everything and today was much the same....And a good friend took me out to lunch.. I was so bad, Instead of working out I was pigging out.....But it was good!!!!!:devil: ....So when I got home I tryed to walk some of it off.... So tomorrow will be very interestering...... But now I feel better after I see I wasn't alone with being terrible this week........and not getting much execise done.....

I'm sorry your sick Jenny!!! :frown: Don't feel bad about not exerces you'll get better and then you'll show us all up....By the way you and my hubby would get along great.. two of his favorat show are Hell's Kitchen and Myth busters.... I'm not much of a fan and watch them because he dose.. He's also the one who got me hooked of BL...

Amanda.. Sounds like I'm on the same schudale as you for TOM, LOL.

Well tomorrow is finally an empty day for me..sound's like a great day to get back on the wagon.....Good luck to you all and may the scales be kind to us all:flowerforyou:

sanifrey

Hey girls!!

Tabby, thank you so much for your suggestion for MJ's choices! Seems like 3 is a good number to let her choose from. Anymore then that & she seems to get overwhelmed. So, I do appreciate you're advice! OMG did you watch Grey's last night???? Did you, did you??? It was so great! Cried like a baby!! I hope that you're feeling better. Don't worry about the scale, just get yourself better!

Connie, so good to have you back! Don't feel guilty! The important thing is you're here & you're ready to get back on that wagon!!

Kelly, great to have you back as well!! Don't give that scale a second thought!! Just work hard this week & get yourself back on track & things will come together!!

Jenny, you are so awesome!! You just crack me up!! I love reading your posts!! I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better! Sounds like that nap was just what you needed!

Well, the scale was NOT kind to me this week. But, I am so happy to be here & to have you girls to be accountable to!! Next week will be better!

I'll check back in a bit better!! :drinker:
