Good afternoon!

Happy Birthday, MTGirl!

Not much time to chat, just stopping in to say hi. Hope everyone has a great day and an *kitten*-kicking last chance workout.

Say it with me, 'If you're not puking, fainting, or dying...KEEP GOING!'

Later kids!

When we were talking the other day I said I felt good in my dress I wore out Friday night. I think Sara asked to see it. Here it is. This is the first day my hair is not in a ponytail and I don't look very funky. The pictures are kind of blurry and I was getting irritated- pictures with me in them and I get along about as well as the scale and I.... anyway, you'll get the idea.

YOWZA! Not very funky, my *kitten*...you look amazing, Lori!

MTGirl

WOW Lori!! You look amazing!!!

72lori

Thanks Shuntae, yeah, I was saying I wasn't totally funky so I could actually put on the dress for a picture. Yesterday I worked out on and off all day and was way gross all day long! I changed into a bathing suit before DH got home, threw on some deoderant and hoped he didn't get too offended by my stench. :laugh: Then I got dinner and jumped in the pool to further hide the funk. Chlorine does wonders. So I showered in time to put on PJ's and fall into bed. One of those days.

So I said the same thing Shuntae did when I saw your pictures Lori! Wowzers!!

Hey everyone. Had a busy morning here. Madison had her 3 yr. Pics this am and let me tell you I was a little scared. All morning she kept telling us that she didn't want to get her picture taken. Once we got her into her cute dress and her hair done and into the studio she turned into a total camera hog. The girl that took her picture was the "picture Lady" and madison would say "123 Action" for her picture to be taken. She totally posed for a couple too! They turned out really great!! Ava goes in 2 weeks for her first Birthday ones! She'll be easy!!

All I want to do now is eat but my tummy hurts! :ohwell:

Softball tonight if it doesn't rain.:bigsmile:

Hope Everyones last chance workouts are going great!

PM me if you have an Idea for a new challenge for next week.

Have a great day!

Hi gang. I will not be weighing in for 1 month. My BFF took my scale and locked it in her trunk:mad:

I guess I was getting a bit too fixated on that box of springs:blushing:

:flowerforyou: The good news is I will be 137.5 for 4 weeks no matter what!!:laugh: :laugh:

ksproston

Oh Jeannie, I'm so sorry for your loss :laugh: . To me that is a form of torture. But, not for you. You're a "doer", I'm more of a "talker". That scale will be begging to come back home soon!

72lori

Aww, thanks team. You know how some clothes just make you feel like you look good? $30 at Kohl's and it makes you feel awesome. Well worth the money.

I had the best GYN appointment today (ok, call me sicko) but when I got on the scale (not digital) that dear nurse started it with the weight on the 100 instead of the 150. I can not tell you when that happened last. It made me all happy like. Of course she had to move it up to the 150 but only for 4 pounds. After she weighed me she was like, "Girl, I have no idea where you are hiding 154 pounds." God bless her! (Ok, so I have a similar style more casual dress like the one in my pic on today, if they really make me look like I weigh less they are my uniform from now on! I'm never taking them off. )

Anyway, weird stuff makes me happy. The thought that in a few pounds that weight on the scale will be able to be on the 100 instead of the 150 or yes, even the 200 a few times made my day! :bigsmile:

Well, BFF's do know best.... but I would be at Walmart buying me a new one. :laugh:

Maybe it is what you need. You can refocus, work on what you want and not stress over a number. It is after all- just a number. Do as I say- not as I do. K?

Completely off subject- why does every picture downloaded to this site cut off the top of everybody's head? Marla, your daughters body on your av looks great, too bad most of her head is missing.

snif...can I borrow yours??

72lori

Alright ladies and man- I did all I could the last 2 days- but- 2 days does not maketh a whole week. I will take what I get tomorrow (but boy would I like at least a pound). I have to keep up this pace for the next 2 weeks. 2 more weigh in's after tomorrow before vacation to hit 50 pounds. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.

BTW- I did burn 2362 calories in 2 days. 5000 here I come!

lynniejones

Lori, I remember when I met you on the Hottie thread. All I can say is if you were starting your own thread it would be called SUPER SMOKING HOT HOTTIE thread!


Marla, sorry your daughter didn't make it all the way but part of life's lessons is learning how to be #5 gracefully. I'm sure she is!

MTGirl, happy birthday and get your tushie back on track! Got it?! :flowerforyou:



So. I want to know, tonight before this thread is dead. What did STFU week do for you?


Oh, and about the D word. It sucks. That is all.

lynniejones

Jeannie, I am going to join you in your pain. Tomorrow will be my last weigh in for one month.
I'll still be here and in the challenges and the chitterchatter. But for my Jeannie bo beannie, I am going to do this and see if I can end the madness! And more importantly, if I can lose or maintain without the constant fear and checking. How am I going to do this for the rest of my life if I have to always have the scale in front of me?????

I love you Lynnie! I picked this girl to hold it because she is no nonsense and really not afraid to hurt my feelings. SOOOOO she tells my boss and we all laughed about it. I am into laughter so it was cathartic for me. My boss is super cool and she said buy a pair of pants 1 size smaller and try them on each day till they fit!!

LOL not ready to replace one addiction with another!!

But I hope I can sleep tonight without weighing myself:laugh: :laugh:

72lori

Lynnie- you go. I'm proud of you for doing it along with Jeannie. I would join in but I'm not that strong. Well, I am but I have a goal to meet and a time frame. I will join you for the last 2 weeks though. Ok, ok, so I will be on vacation, won't have a scale and will not want to see the numbers anyway.... yeesh! :laugh:

You have the right idea Jeannie. We do become dependent on the scale to tell us we look good. That we are doing a good job. It's like we need it to lift us up when for real it just pulls us down with it's constant ups and downs. As hard as it was, I did like the no scale for a week challenge.

72lori

Ok here goes:

STFU week- it gave me some laughs, it is fun talking about STFUing.

I enjoyed inviting my scale to participate.

It made me remember to not always look at the negatives in things and to try and be positive. I think so often it's easier to whine, be negative and grumpy that we forget to celebrate the good stuff. There is always good stuff no matter how bad it seems.

I told myself to STFU several times this week and snap out of it and get back into this game. It took a few days of telling it to myself to sink in but now I have a plan. I have goals. I have things to work toward. I am back on track and I am on freaking fire right now. I am enjoying my renewed committment to make it to the end.... 90 pounds here I come!

Edit: Better clarify- I don't really want to weigh 90 pounds- it's a joke from earlier this week.
