jacque509

kitn621

jacque--sorry also for your loss, your headache, and all your stress you have had to deal with these last couple of weeks. I know that really takes a toll on you and it also makes it hard to do right with your weight loss. We are all here for you and love you and hope you and your family can just allow you to make this a time to grow closer and stronger.

purrr----I too want to know....hows you and the market guy....? we need a name or something so hes just not the market guy.

Well I am the same as far as my weight. Its better than nothing. :bigsmile: Hope to allow this week to be a much better week but we'll see.

I hope everyone had a great 4th!!! We went to the lake and took our camper up there so that it would already be there for our much longer and needed weekend this weekend. We are leaving Friday after work and not coming back till late Sunday. I CANNOT WAIT! and my 4 yr old (god I love her) will be with her daddy so though I love her being with me and we have fun I can relax and lay out without worrying about what can or will happen to her and just lay out on the beach with a drink in one hand and book in another :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Happy Monday to you all and will check in laters.....

jacque509

Feeling a little better, going to go to the gym and work out the kinks

kitn621

where is everyone!!!! still on 4th of July vacation??? :frown:
I miss my team. Come back!! :sad: :sad:

purrr

ooh, we have a week 8 thread :drinker:

well, the weekend hasn't been great over here, neither has been the Monday after :grumble: i was being a naughty girl and did some interesting (so to say ) things with my guy in a forest nearby, where i got this darn cold and been drinking tons of tea since and not feeling well... so no "market guy" for me right now :frown: but we've been over the phone and texting each other all the time and i went to see him at the market today, so it's all good... btw, his name is Levent (which actually means strong, handome man)... and just for the sake of it - my name is Petja... I wonder if I ever mentioned my own name either... well, I sometimes signed as "Pet", which is Pet's petname, you see


jacque~ i hope you are feeling better, that's really tough, especially on your birthday... but there'll be more birthdays and i'm sure a lot happier ones, don't lose your faith :flowerforyou:

porka29

I'm still here!!!! Haven't weighed at all since the early weekend (like Thurs) afraid to

Sorry you're sick purr, sounds like fun way of getting sick though!
Jacque - feel free to message me if you need to talk
kitn - your time off this coming weekend sounds neat - will you be alone?

Wherever the rest of this team is, hope you aren't doing anything I wouldn't do - which leaves it quite open :laugh: :bigsmile:

porka---no time alone....not really. right now just me and hubby :blushing: ...his kids may or may not come but even if they do they are old enough they can do what the want or even me go and do what I want and I dont have to worry. his are 15, 17, and 18. no worries there. So just some good ole' relaxing time. oh and there are other campers up there not counting ours so the kids get their own place to stay leaving me some one on one time with my man. :blushing: :smooched: cannot wait!!!

PRAY FOR NO RAIN WHILE WE ARE THERE!!

purrr

have to agree with porka....fun way to get sick there purr ...or I mean PET....I love it! where did your name come from? (petja) family, particular origin???

oh, i am Bulgarian and living in Bulgaria, not everyone on MFP is American, you see :laugh: Petja (sounds like pet-ya ) is a very common name over here, it's like the female variant of Peter, you see...


i know that was the best way possible to get me a cold, i actually can't wait to have the "virus" all over me again :blushing:

Keep us posted b/c I love to hear about you and this guy Levent...too cool. I think we will soon need some pics of you two together.

jacque509

Good morning all,
Well today is the grave site service. Did not make in to the gym, ran out of time before I had to leave for the church for the service. Didn't get to bed until 1:30 so super tired today. I am soo tired of putting everything on hold so Today No Matter what I start fresh and go to the gym. Will start logging food again.I am so tired of being fat and tired, I am now feeling angry so maybe that will help, if anything I am def going thru the stages so hopefully I am realizing I have to take controll of this, because there are so many other things we cant control. Heavy I know but I needed to put it down and reconize it. Oh by the way we finally got rain in Texas almost ironic since this is the day we bury her. Will write more later

porka29

Jacque - Do the best you can today.................take all this one step at at a time.

purrr - love your name and I certainly always knew that not all folks on mfp were american. I think I may tell bf that I want me some virus.....:laugh: :laugh: :smokin:

kitn - glad you will get some time with hubby, that was specifically the part I was curious about because I couldn't remember about your husband!!! :blushing:

jacque509

jacque509

Ok went to the gym, worked my butt off, felt good. Ate Like a pig at dinner but stayed within my calories so very happy. Well Today I am having lunch with an old friend so I will try to be good. Also plan to start up on the 200 squats again along with 200 situps and 100 push up. made myself a table so I can yellow out when completed. I am starting on the first level and it will last 6 weeks then after that there are 2 more levels. So heres to a new goal. Hope everyone is doing ok?

Christi- Thanks for your support, hope u are not drowning sown there
Sassie-hang in girl you'll get use to it
Kit- send some vegi my way, I can't believe how expensive things are now, I have no green thumb so a garden would only end in a horrible death if I tried

Hey all!!! Isn't it funny when you "feel" smaller or just feel like your underpants fit better, get on the scale and you're up five lbs???? wtf???:noway: I did weigh after breakfast just cause I was feeling so good, that was short lived:laugh:

I guess we'll see if it all pans out by the end of the week. BUT, I haven't been properly logging or counting, so it's my own bust I guess.

:laugh: I so know what you mean the other day I felt like my rings were too big and my cloths felt loose and I was up 5 lbs, So Weird:huh:
I just started logging again yesterday, and not doing horribly bad but not great either.
Anyway I just would like to go away for a few days and escape, oh well while I am dreaming I want a new house, Brad Pitt and a tummy tuck HAHAHAHA:laugh:

sallydeb

Hello, I've been gone from this group for a month and managed to put on 3 pounds over what I started with in April. I need help. I will be going to a hypnotherapist tomorrow. I'm hoping she can help me figure out how to deal with my fear of being skinnier.

And today, I am starting again with logging my food and exercise. I have been getting various leg and foot pains that are keeping me from walking/exercising--which seems a vicious cycle as I suspect the pains are due to the extra weight I am carrying.

I see you gals are very supportive. I hope you are doing well Jacque, with all you have going on. I admire your ability to persevere through.

So, hopefully, as porka says, I can contribute to busting out by adding some lost pounds to the group.

-Sally

sallydeb

Oh, I meant kitn said that about losing weight as a group.

jacque509

Glade to see back Sally!! Hey it all about the support and no matter what getting back on that horse. Ive have heard you have to quit 11 or 15 something like that times before you can succeed. well I am gonna be brutely honest here. I quit smoking 15 years ago and there are still moments when I think man! I could really go for a cigarette, sometimes its triggered by a smell, a song, a perfect summer day and some times an unexpected moment. Well I believe its like that with food.
And i just had one of those moment and unfortanly did it without thinking. I just realize while I was typing this where the habit comes from. Back when I did not care what I ate on payday Friday I would indulge in a gressy hamburger and fries and the afterwares I want something chocolate like a candy bar. Well today I went for lunch with an old friend and she always want to go to the same place so I figured out what I eat ahead of time. but when she picked me up she said I want a hamburger so that what I had a gressy hamburger and fries. I been back at my office for 2 hours now and all I could think about was chocolate!! So without even thinking and on auto piolet I went to the gift shop and got a candy bar. Now here the ironic part, Instead of stopping my self I pick up every bar I like and looked for the one with the less calories on it. Then ate it. Now you could look at it 2 ways. 1. I should be proud that my habit of looking at calories kicked in (Yeah!! ) 2. OMG I knew what I was doing and did it anyway.:sick: But I decided I am gonna look at it this way-Wow! I just realized and reconized a food issue of mine and now I need to work on that!!

sallydeb

Thanks Jacque.

I think food is a habit too, at least for me--but more stuff too; I look at really thin women and don't think they are safe from being attacked. It seems like an insane thought logically, but that is where I'm at (and yes, had some childhood issues with which I went through years of therapy). And, gaining back the few pounds I lost plus adding more is SO typical of my quest on losing weight. That's why I'm where I'm at on the scale. It feels safe, although I really hate myself for it. I know I am not the only one (out of a bizillion American women) who feels that too.

You are right about the support . And for your choice today, I'd go with being proud of not only looking at the calories to pick the best one AND that you recognized a habit. Did you pick a 3 musketeers? Just wondering

Thanks again,
Sally

jacque509

Actually the Kit kat Bar was the less calories hahaha:laugh: It so funny u asked:laugh:
Well I defintly will go to the gym tonight and work it off.
What you say is true, I was the bigger one out of my family, my mom annd sister pencil thin, no boobs. Then in my late 20's I got the thinest I ever been and I wish it was healthy but it was not. So Slowly I restarted gaining the weight. Now Mom and Sister are heavy but did not become heavy untill sickness claim them. I watch my beatuiful daughter and worry because she eats like crap and tons of it. She pencil thin now but I don't want her to go thru what my mom and sister has gone thru. I sometime thinks its just as hard for the thin who gets heavy to deal as the ones who always been heavy.

jacque509

ok went to the gym and bust a move, felt good ate a little too much at dinner need to work on that

Sally I did the hypnotist to quit smoking and for weight control....didn't work on the weight But I DON'T smoke....and if you asked a Dr. he/she would tell you better to be fat and smoke free then fat and smoking..............Hang in there....you can do this....

jacque509
