    nitag: SW 220/GW 145/CW 187 - No loss except the 3 lbs I gained from being a boozer last weekend

    That's totally water weight, BTW, if you were drinking alcohol, you got dehydrated, and then your body started storing water... unless you like TOTALLY drank yourself stupid and somehow managed to consume 10,500 calories OVER your maintenance calories!!! If you did that was some dang party!!!

    Good morning, Fellow Teamies...

    I'm heading to a town-wide yard sale this morning. Got to love them...
    Maybe I can buy more "stuff" to put in my already-crowded house...
    Which would be okay, since next weekend, I'm going to a yard sale in my parents' town...and I'm selling off (hopefully) the stuff I'm getting tired of.

    I live for yard sales...

    (Also...because of my home business. I have to live up to the name of "recycle artist.")

    Anyway, here we are at the start of another week. Hoping to lose another pound this week. That will get me out of these nasty 130s...
    But already, I feel 10 times better than I did a month ago.

    Later...

    I so love reading your posts ladies. I love the weight loss successes. I love the 'team' coming along side those who are struggling or calming those who must certainly have had water fluctuation. I love the heart warming stories. Just a great bunch of ladies (not sure where the men went gonna have to check in on them). Maybe there is too much estrogen on this board:tongue:
    I posted a picture under my profile finally. I don't know why I don't want my picture broadcast.
    I have a day planned with a huge church picnic today full of games and food. I suppose I better get out for a run so I can enjoy some moderation today. Moderation is the key for me.

    Good Morning

    Prayerfulmom - I agree with your post so much. And good picture of yourself on your profile. Keep up the good work and checking in on here. I like reading your posts.

    Cyndeebee - I think our town rummage is today also. Gonna have to get moving and see cause I am needing a few things to tie be over.

    Lulu - you be careful coming home. Know you have been working and helping out this trip but hope you have enjoyed it

    Sheila - I missed you posting yesterday afternoon girl.

    DWray - hope as each day goes by, you are seeing improvement.

    Well, I have decided to start training for either a twelve or 15 hour walk in June. It is a Cancer Relay for Walk - raising money for a cure. This has been in my mind since Thursday afternoon. It is in around June 20th I think and is either from 3pm to 6am or 6pm to 6am. You can walk as long as someone in your group or organization is walking. My work place has always had a group in it. Here is the deal though - for me to do this - I will start when the walk starts and with the exception of bathroom break - I will be walking at the end. At least that is what I am hoping for as of right now.

    Also, I was puttering around the house early this morning and measured my ankle, I have dropped another 1/2 inch there. I knew my new ankle bracelet had slid down. So I decided to try on a pair of regular (no stretch material in them) capris size 14 I have hanging on the closet door to inspire me. I got them on and button. A little tight yet but all the more encouragement to get off my rear this week.
    So there is smiles in this household. Gotta run to Walmart to get groceries - be back later

    Good Morning..

    Kristi.. Yeah for you.. I'm so super proud of you.....

    Prayerfulmom it's nice to see your pretty face.. At first I was weirded out by putting my face on here but what the heck.. I think a lot of it is I'm just not happy with me but thats my issue..

    Indianagranny - size 14 yahoo.... I love reading your posts now as much as Kristi's and Cyndeebee's.. Oh and lets not forget Sheila, Adopt4 and LI4G... All the other's too..

    I agree about the men who come and go.. I think our sisterhood of the traveling pants bond has scared them off.. I don't think they want our capris....

    I am going to make a promise to myself that there is no more weeks like last week.. Oh man no more drinking... and no more over eating.. I think WHY I've lost 33 lbs and I don't want to blow it now...

    I am off to my grandson's preschool graduation today.> Everyone stay focused and strong and drink drink drink that water...

    Anita

    Hello team! Nita, good to hear the resolution in your voice! You are so right, you are halfway to your goal, no point in back tracking now! And, thanks for your support, always! It means a lot. So, here's to water drinking! :drinker:

    Prayerfulmom - so good to finally see you! And I agree with Nita, very nice pic! You really are inspiring to me. Your faith is a wonderful example to follow.

    Lisa, I agree with Nita, size 14 is wonderful! And, its really nice that you are in a place where you feel good in your own skin. Thats a great blessing that many people seek after.

    Cyndee - good luck at the yard sales, and more importantly, good luck losing your pound this week.

    Kelli - gotta thank you again for the fun clothes! Your such a great friend. Nothing but success to you, my dear!

    Cyndi - seriously, what a cake! And, what an inspiration you are!

    Lulu - get home girl, we miss you! So glad you had a good trip. Looking forward to catching up soon!

    Jamie, thinking of you, have a safe trip!

    Sheila, ok, girl whats up today? Are you back in your routine? Lets hear how things are going! And, thanks for a very nice happy dancer!!!

    Dwray, ditto what Lisa said - hang in there, and keep getting wicked strong in your upper body! :happy:

    Chanty, it was good to see you the other day! How are the plans going?

    Healthymom - I know its been said before, but you are doing so great! Keep it up.

    Renayb - whats up girl! How are you doing!?

    Good morning all. Just sent hubby and children off to the gym so I have the house to myself. Whoo-hoo! I think I'll take today off the gym, as yesterday's step aerobics was really hard. I "want" to go today but am trying to be good in taking a day off. My new schedule - Tues with trainer, strength training and cardio, Wed off, Thurs Strength training and cardio, Friday cardio, Sat off, Sun Strength training and cardio, Monday cardio. So I'm thinking maybe I'll do that aerobics class on Fridays at least, so I can take the next day off. I'm only going to get better if I keep doing it. And maybe on one of my days off I'll do yoga to stretch, that doesn't count as going to the gym, right? LOL

    I am so super excited, when I went to Kohls and was trying on stuff, I fit into a size 16W in one brand. Whoo-hoo! So of course I bought two simply because of the size. They are tight but stretchy and if the pair of 18s I bought before (same brand, same type of material) they'll stretch out a lot. But I think in most brands I'm still an 18/20... I'm sticking with a few brands right now, so I know how their stuff should fit. I also tried on a size 16 petite and oh yea, couldn't get them up my legs. Didn't realize there was such a difference between W and P. Now I know. And I will notice IMMEDIATELY with the new clothes if I put on so much as an ounce, they are that borderline too tight. Which is what I wanted, so they will last, and so that I cannot go the other direction. Too funny, I went from wearing such baggy clothing to "hide" my fat and now I'm wearing form fitting clothes to show it off (even though I'm the only one that knows hey, there's a whole lot less of me here! Looky looky!)

    I had 2000 calories left over last night for dinner. Not on purpose, mind you, but that workout was a LOT of cals. So rarity that THAT was, we went to Rose's Restaurant and Bakery. I had 1/3 of their famous reuben, 1/3 of their "everything" cheeseburger, 3 onion rings, and got a piece of black forest cake to take home. Ate almost half of it an hour or so after dinner. And you know what, I don't feel guilty. I went over cals with the cake (because I can't figure out how many cals are in that thing! so I'm guestimating) but not up to maintenance cals for the day. So it was a nice treat and you know what, I'm just not that into chocolate cake anymore. I have no desire for the rest of it, in fact, you could throw it away and I wouldn't care. (My boys will get it.) That's just such an odd thing for me, I"m losing my sweet tooth. The fries tempted me not at all (again, I have very happy boys today to get my curly fries.) The onion rings I ate only because I was hungry, it was the appetizer, and if I had to do it over again I'd order a little salad before the meal rather than an appetizer. Even the burger, which is similar to a Red Robin royal burger, was just ok (and I used to LOVE those burgers). The rueben was the best thing - and its such an odd taste, it's so strange that my palate enjoyed it the most.

    So today the goal is to eat within my cals if I don't exercise. I may paint the rest of my dining room and get that over with so I can decorate. We hope to go to a movie later if we can find a babysitter, and see Star Trek. That will be hard, I'm used to snacking at movies. Maybe I'll take a little bag of Jelly Bellys (140 cals, 2 servings per bag) so I have the cals pre-calculated... I will let you know how I do, as I have no wiggle room today after last night's feast... so I HAVE to stay within cals.

    A question, have any of you noticed with this new eating and exercising, that things aren't "moving thru you" the way they're supposed to? Think I'm having that problem (TMI, I know). Hubby says that's common with a lot of exercise, he saw it in the Marines... I am so used to having the opposite problem, lactose intolerance and all that, which have been magically fixed now, that this is a new thing for me. It's also why I wasn't concerned about the 1 pound gain... because I know that's where that one pound is.. LOL

    Suggestions?

    Kelli, yes, I hear you on the lack of internal movement! I was afraid it might mess up my weigh my results yesterday! So, here is what I am thinking the problem is, especially for me. (1) not enough water. This crazy week, I have really struggled to get all the water in I should. and (2) not enough fiber. I recently added fiber to my daily food diary. I noticed a couple of weeks ago, when I lost 14 lbs, I had a really good fiber week. (GEEZ! The things we talk about!) My current favorite sources of fiber are raw lentils and rosemary olive oil tortillas from La Tortilla Factory. Yummers! The lentils are amazing - they taste kind of like raw peas (which I love) and they are a great source of fiber and protein. I put them in omlettes, on salads, and just eat them by the handful as a snack.

    Thats what I'm thinking. Good luck with that!

    Just a quick post...about that "internal" problem...
    With fibromyalgia, I really have to be careful with my diet. I was supposed to go "gluten-free," but I can't live without my gluten...
    So I just cut back.
    But most importantly, my doctor told me to start taking "fish oil" pills. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of fish oil. Salmon...cod...whatevah!
    Anyway, I take 3 a day (now that I've actually read the bottle and noted the correct dosage),
    They're good for your heart, but bonus...They seem to make "internal" problems a thing of the past.

    Worth considering. I think they're full of Omegas...and good for the internal mechanics.

    indianagranny...I, too, put on my old capris for the first time today. And, like you, they're a bit snug, but I also see it as incentive to stick with my plan. Maybe in a few weeks, they'll glide over the hips. One can hope...

    Evening now and it's starting to cool off from our 90 degree day. Yuck! Just put 2 of the boys to bed. I finished painting my dining room, literally took me ten mins twice to finish it, the only reason I didn't finish it before was I ran out of paint. Grr! I was so close! So finally after a month or more now it's done. Tomorrow I hang my African stuff in there, I can't wait! This is my first "themed" room, and really I painted it as a way to showcase some of the treasures I got while in Africa last year.

    Think I'm going to have to invest in the fish pills now... I give them to one of my sons, the one with delayed development, who also has an eating disorder so he doesn't get enough of them (the other two aren't keen on pills, and eat well, so I'm not forcing the issue with them). So guess I need to give them to myself too...

    So far I'm under cals, and that was with eating 1/2 piece of carrot cake from Roses' last night! I have 226 to go if I need a snack later... I would if we had melons, I love melons, but nothing else sounds good right now.

    Not to be gross or anything but my internal system is all messed up since I had my galbladder out a few years ago... I have no problem going... I sometimes wish it would give me a break and back up a bit!!! but no such luck.. I just want to be normal again!!! again no such luck.... my sister is the opposite of me.. she has to take 3 stool softeners a day just so she can go... I asked her if that was good for her and she said the dr. said it wasnt going to hurt... I really dont see how that is good either... anyway I need to change the subject.. LOL cuz this one is pretty ****y!!! ha ha ha J/K

    I am still going through issues with my son's girlfriend and it is killing me not to see my grandson..One can only hope my son wakes up soon... I am really hurting right now so I really dont feel like chating to much.. I am really in a state of depresion.. and I am trying not to let her get to me but it is killing me not to see my grandson

    So sorry, Sheila, to hear about your problems with your son's girlfriend. She has no right to keep your son and grandbaby away from you. It will catch up to her, eventually...
    Karma, baby...

    I've had problems with my son's fiancee, too, off and on. They've been together for over 6 years, set a wedding date, but then one of them backed out. They're still together, but there is no word on when (if) they might get married. And how do I feel about this? EXTREMELY HAPPY!

    I'm sure we're alike in hoping that our sons marry women who bring goodness into the family.
    Just bide your time, Sheila, and hope that the girlfriend comes to her senses soon.

    And big hugs from me. Try not to get too down. This, too, shall pass.

    Evening everyone! I had a hard time sleeping last night. My allergies were acting up and between that and our cat Charlie howling outside my bedroom door at 4am cuz he wanted to come in, yeah.. I got no sleep.

    Had the little ones today and hubby took the frozen bday cake to my FIL's bday party early so it wouldnt melt in the car. Its about a 1/2 hour drive and man it was warm here today!! Up in the 90s! I headed over there after the little ones went home and all the old people there were gushin over the cake. It was really sweet. One lady kept telling me to think about going into business and I told her "I have and i hate doing dishes!" LOL! Anyway, my FIL was just blown away by it and loved the German Flag, so Im happy :happy: Had a good dinner there and some of the cake thinking when I got home "Yeah, Im prolly over but who cares!" Then I went to log and it turns out I still have like 300 calories left for the day.... HAHA!! So... Im contemplating eating the miniscule sliver of lemon cheesecake I brought home. May save it for tomorrow tho and just have my chocolate milk instead. :laugh:

    My son passed his permit test yesterday after his 3rd try and I let him drive my van around the circle the inlaws live in. That was fun. Of course, today when we got home he begged me to take him to the parking lot at the school and teach him to drive the Jetta, which is a stick. My daughter refuses to learn how to drive a stick, so I figured... "Great, lets go!!" God that was fun!!!!! He did really well learning it too and only stalled it once when he pulled into a parking spot and and didnt wait for me to tell him how to turn off the car. He just let off the clutch while it was in gear and Blam! I hit my head on the "oh crap" handle that I had been hanging onto for most of the time he was learning. LOL!! Anyway...we were both laughing so hard, youd of thought we had just climbed out of a bumper car or something, only he didnt hit anything (thank god!) LOL

    Sheila, sorry that your sons girlfriend is being a brat about the grandbaby. Its really a shame that she is using him in that way to torture you. I could never do that to my parents or inlaw, let alone my kids. I understand how you feel tho. Hopefully she will pull her head out and come to her senses soon. You've had a hard week since you've been back with the kids. I bet you wish you woulda just stayed there at the swimbar....:ohwell:

    Prayerfulmom – love the picture! I found a website mapmyrun.com with lots of different routes to take and the miles. I am soo excited. No I have not registered for the first 5 k yet but it’s coming.

    Indianagranny – I recently fit into my size 14’s too. It feels so good. Way to go!:wink:

    Sheila - sorry to hear about kid troubles. I am blessed that my girls are so great. Hang in there!

    I stayed on track with my eating today!!!!! My parents are in town and everyone had birthday cupcakes but I didn't (quickly put them away once everyone had theirs). The first thing my mom said when she saw me was "you've lost weight!" They were very impressed with my 25 lbs. It's nice to shock people when they haven't seen you for a while. (they were here beginning of April).

    Tomorrow we are going out for supper - that is my big challenge. No exercise either. Hmmm.

    Good Morning Gang,

    Renayeb - Hi - nice hearing from you and Congratulations on the loss girl.

    Sheila - my heart goes to you Hon. I wish I could tell you something to fix the problem. Hopefully soon your son or his girl- friend will come to their senses. Get back on track this week cause soon you will be seeing and chasing this grandchild around the yard.

    Healthymom - Congrats on your size 14's also. You are doing fantastic girl. Keep up the good work.
    Good Luck with supper tonight.

    Kristi - for the mere fact of lack of time to go back and find the answer, was it just vitamin b you told me to take? I got vitamin b then I am questioning myself as to whether it was b6, b12 or bwhatever. TOM Iis due in next week and I shopped yesterday and remembered finally to pick it up - now I am questioning myself.

    Well gang been up early - done 81 minutes aerobics and 33 minutes on treadmill. Done dishes and laundry also. going to church thenbe back to sleep. haha talk later

    Good morning, everyone!

    Hoping and praying that today brings some peace and comfort to those who need it. I'm thinking of you, indianagranny...and your friend...and especially YOU, Sheila. Trust and pray that God will soften her heart...

    I'm taking it easy over the next few days. Nothing planned for the beginning of this week. "Down time" until Friday. And then I've got an appointment at the Legal Clinic, to go through the appeal process...again...
    And on Saturday, I'm going to my parents' town, to try to get rid of stuff in their town-wide yard sale. It starts at 7 a.m...:grumble:
    Yesterday, my mission was to find things for my bathroom, at the town-wide yard sale that my friend and I went to...
    And I did! I found a very old cabinet, with green glass handles. Needs a new mirror, and I'm debating whether or not to paint it. Likely not. It's in "rugged" shape, and I kind of like it...
    I thought I'd found the ideal mirror, for over the sink, but now I'm not so sure. It, too, is very old, but I don't think it's the right size or shape.
    Oh well. It will look good somewhere in my home.
    My home is in a historic building. Over 100 years old. First, it was an old hotel, because this used to be a major train station. After that, it was a business college. And now...It's a six-plex. It's a beautiful building. A lot of the original crown molding still exists. A few of the wooden floors...high ceilings. In our main hallway, there's a huge, ornate mirror, that must have been here for over 100 years.
    So...That's my reason for looking for "old" furnishings for my place. Rather than modernize it, I'm on a mission to "restore" it.

    Anyway, I'm not getting much restoring done, by sitting at the computer. Also not burning too many calories...
    I'm off...

    Sheila I have a daughter in law that is Bi-polar and to top it off a whack job. About 3 days after she had my grandson she went nuts on me cuz I removed his bib.. We were all at my mom's house and just let me have it.. Told me if I didn't take care of HER baby like SHE wanted I wouldn't get to see him ever again. I picked that baby up and went and handed him to her and said well sweetie you just lost yourself the best mother in law and the greatest grandmother you've ever know you crazy Bit@H... And I went outside.. About 5 mins go by and my son comes outside and he brings me the baby and says watch him mom.. and all we "the whole family came outside except whack job and my son" heard screaming like you wouldn't believe. She came out and said she was sorry but my moral is even if she is mean to you your son has to man up and not allow her to mistreat you.. What is up with the psycho girls.. To this day I can't stand her. I love her cuz she is my son's wife and the mother of my grandson but honestly if she got on a plane and went back to her family I think it would be better for my son and grandson in the long run. She is just a mean person. I have never nor would I ever keep my kids from their grandparents or my ex.. It's just wrong.. It will come back and bite her in the *kitten* it truly will.. Dang girls need to grow up.. It makes me so mad.....

    Sorry for your grandkid problems. I really feel for you.

    I can see the point of your son in a way - for now he has to stick with her and hopefully he is trying to reason with her - otherwise she sounds like the type to just up and leave with the kid. Of course if he's not placating her, in order to try to get her to be reasonable, then he's wrong.

    cyndee, your house sounds amazing! I love old houses. Except for the wiring... which is why we live in a new house so I dont' have to deal with that stuf... LOL. The house I grew up in was over 200 years old, had been in the family for 100 of those years, and when they remodeled and put in another bathroom, the nails they pulled out were square and hand-made.

    Off to see a movie today, then a bit of shopping, then hit the gym... Took 3 of my son's fish pills (didn't check the dosage for adultsyet, but thought I'd try it) last night... still no help... man I'm gonna lose 5 pounds when I finally go! LOL

    This has been such a "down" day for me. No particular reason...
    I guess I'm just wearing my cranky pants today.

    Afternoon all...

    So far today spent some time outside doing some cleanup with the hose on the deck. I have the little ones today till about 4:30ish and just trying to get my laundry caught up and house somewhat put together. I have no kids this next week until Friday cept my own so Im planning to hit the gym pretty good and get in a good week of workouts. Hubby's party is this coming Saturday, so just trying to get some stuff accomplished so Im not scrambling all week.

    My MIL sent home a tupperware container full of marinated steaks that they didnt cook for thier party. I cant refreeze them cuz they were already frozen prior to being marinated, so now I have to cook them. They had so much food there and my MIL wouldnt take no for an answer so we invited over a friend and have been trying to get ahold of adopt4 & her hubby all day to help us eat all this meat cuz there is no way our family can put it all away and I hate to throw it out.

    Anyway....off to fold more of the laundry mountain!! :sick:

    Hi my name is April and I am a friend of Sheila's. She told me about this group and I wanted to join. I have been battling weight my whole life and now it is time to put it to a stop and lose it. I am 37 yrs old married and have 3 daughters with the youngest being 8 yr old twins. I work part time and go to school to become a Paralegal. My goal is to have all my weight off by the time I graduate next spring. I am in need of lots of encouragement as well as any tips. Hope to meet all of you soon.

    Hello, April. Welcome!

    And, fellow Team members, we should be having one other person joining us very soon. I bumped into Maria, and invited her to this group.
    The more, the merrier. Right?

    I don't think I've ever given my history. Not much to tell. Happily single. (I think it will stay that way.) Two grown children - Laura-Lee, who is 38, and has my 2 granddaughters...and my son, Bill, who is "engaged" - and anyone who's been reading my stuff lately, will understand why I leave it at that...

    And then there's my 11 year old adopted daughter, Brittany.

    Not very exciting stuff. I did all of my crazy things in my younger years. Which is why I say I'll stay single...
