Happy Friday Hottie Pep's!
Well, I am happy to report an 8 lb loss. Last Sat I was 189.8, today, 181.8. I HAVE been trying harder, TOM is over and yesterday I donated. Could be a lot of things, but still seems extreme...:ohwell: Hopefully it will stay off, and soon I can get into the '70's, which I was back in May...proof now that I have not been living the lifestyle. I am not done here, and want to get to that healthier wt. I am actually kinda nervous, I have not been below 175 since 1996...this part of the wt loss is where I struggle most. So, I am really going to try hard and beat it this time, no matter how long it takes....I will not give up! I want to do this and I need to!
Jacque ~ I LOVE the challenge....I just started logging again, and it has helped I think. I am going to try and do the days meals ahead of time, this time around, so I don't have to keep coming and logging...hopefully it will give me more free time, thus just planning is helpful on this journey, and a good habit to keep. I won't be able to do it for next T-W-TH cuz I'll be in LV...hope the buffets offer lots of clean food!
To all of the Peppers here...just a bit of M-O-T-I-V-A-T-I-O-N ~~ :flowerforyou:
Try to remember each and every day WHY you came here....whether it is losing a few pesky pounds or a lot, tired of trying and failing, learning how to eat healthier, whatever the reason....regardless or our methods, we have to remember our goals. we have to plan our life and LIVE our plan! wt loss is no quick fix, what you are creating is LONG TERM...see yourself here in 6 mos, year, 10 yrs, 20 and so on....living a lifestyle you can maintain . coming here, sharing our struggles, successes, and encouraging one another is helpful to all of us. You are all great folks and bring so much to this thread! ok, done.
***Does anyone want me to do a chart or just a log in my post, for the wt's? let me know!! ***
Exercise plan is to stretch and tone, and 30 min brisk walk. Will be doing house chores today and checking in off and on. Good luck at the scale and let's get serious about this!! I know we CAN and WILL do it! :happy:0 -
Wow that great Kel on the 8 lbs:flowerforyou:
How Ironic after my post yesterday I had a 1 pound lost hahahahahaha:laugh: but I love it!!! If I did 1 pound a week for 52 week I would lose 52 pounds in 1 year which is a lot faster then it took me to put it on. So with that said I would love 1 pound a week !!
Hey i love the chart idea but I can't seem to get it to work, If u up to the task go for it! that would be great
I am so ready to get serious again.
Just for fun, I heard that all our dreams are a way for us to deal whats going on in our life. So any takers to help me figure out the meaning of this dream?
I dreamt that I was Tall(only 5'4" in real life) thin and beautiful, and I was in distress, I needed help( not sure what ) but not one person would look at me or help me. Even men that I thought sure would help and I remember thinking what is going on I am pretty what gives?0 -
jacque ~ congrats on the loss! yup, just keep pluggin away at this! we all know how time flies! and losing wt slower is healthier....i am guessing most of mine was water.
how do i go about making the chart? just direct me....is it something i do from here, or another site?
re your dream jacque.... i had to read this over a few times and these are my thoughts and by no means anything to act upon.......i am no psychologist...
dreamt that I was Tall(only 5'4" in real life) thin and beautiful, ** have you always wanted to be taller, thinner and beautiful? ** i know there are many things about myself that i wish i could change but some things just can't be.....so I tell myself, this is who i am and i need to love and respect myself; you ARE learning to change yourself and become thinner**
and I was in distress, I needed help( not sure what ) ** it is possible you are stressed right now, you have had a lot happen with the recent death in your family; maybe in a 'funk' with your life right now, whether it is personal (wt loss) or relationship, anything? sometimes, we just need to keep asking ourselves WHY, until you finally figure it out **
but not one person would look at me or help me. Even men that I thought sure would help ** maybe YOU ARE reaching out for help, and if it is wt loss, we are all here for you, and keep researching this site; sometimes we can only help ourselves; i don't know what all you are going to do about this, but when i get down, and feel hopeless, i have to make an appt to see my therapist. she has a way of making sense of everything i feel and think! **
and I remember thinking what is going on I am pretty what gives? ** i think you are searching for answers and you don't know what for yet...i would either let this go, OR keep on it and try to figure it out if it doesn't stress you too much....sometimes we just never know the answer. i am working on being a 'happier' person, only b/c i want balance in my entire life ( job, social life, health, etc) if one over rides the other, than i feel out of control.** and YES, you are pretty Jacque!!
also, tell yourself, everything is going to be ok. try to stay positive. stay active with your family and friends.....if your mind is racing, take a walk and get some fresh air ( well, hot air in TX) you WILL find peace, and well, another take on this, maybe your dream meant nothing too! i know i have some 'way out there' dreams, some scary and some i'd like to have every nite! :blushing: take care dear friend *hugs* 0 -
Kelly! 8 lbs!!! That is great. You are motivation itself!0
-
Well my hot friends, I am up at least four lbs and that is offically another four from what my ticker says, I must've found what Kellya lost!!! ugh..............I'm hoping it's combo between TOM this week, stress and post vacation weight..................:noway: We'll see, wanted to be honest here although I'm not being honest on my ticker, I'm afraid if I change it I will give in and thus give up. So, I'm just gonna consider it a set back and keep plugging!
Congrats to those of you losers!! lol that looks funny in writing!:flowerforyou:0 -
I was thinking that smokin hot green peppers is great. Eating spicy stuff is suppose to help weight loss as well!
I had my 3rd hypno-therapy today and learned that I have self-hypnotized myself in the past to hate exercise. How about that:noway: ? Today being my third time, I have to share that being hypnotized is weird. It takes effort to stay relaxed, focused, and at the place you are supposed to be. Anyway, she sent me home with a visualization for me to listen to, on parts of exercise I love, all the benefits it provides; so I can use those thoughts to replace my hating exercise thoughts, :happy: ha!
This next week will tell how this works as I intend on listening to the tape each morning and exercising after listening to.
I lost .2 of a lb this week. So maybe I could even lose a pound next; actually, I'll take anything
Christie, I hate the TOM - I'm with you. Always up that week. It will be better for you next.
Jacque-I've had similar dreams. I think you are single mom too, right? Anyway, I always chalk those up to having too much going on and feeling like I can't ask for help. Try asking for some help on stuff in real life or just talking about it with someone, sometimes that' works for me. I agree with Kelly, your dreams can reflect what you are working in real life. I especially pay attention to the ones that bother me a lot-there can be good information in there.
Congrats too the the losers this week!

127.8 pds this morning.0 -
Mornin all! Well I was back down the four lbs I was *****in about yesterday, perhaps it was TOM and Wendy's doing their thing. Anyway, wanted to check in and girls, I think we're about to have a big storm....it says 88 degrees on my computer so I guess that's a reprive of sorts (being inside - who knows since my trip haven't ventured out - :laugh: )
hope all are well, me and bf have made a pact to get our butts to the gym!0 -
Good morning all Wow I haven't slept in for a long time. It was awsome. Well did good yesterday food wise, need to get more active, walked more yesterday too. Christi glad to see the 4 lbs go. Bunker down tight for the storm.

hi smokin peppers!
really tired today after storms here last nite. we rec'd 2.5 inches of rain in about 30 minutes. lost power for almost 7 hrs. we have a leaky basement, a sump that runs regularly and our battery back up could not keep up. it was running like every 4-5 minutes. so, after last years floods, dh bought a generator, so we had that hooked up and had power in our basement, kitchen and garage. lots of flash flooding. ihave lived here 19 yrs and never seen 1/2 of my yard under water and water going over the road...it was amazing! could not sleep, so i was up around 6ish baking cookies for the guys. then went to town w/my mom and had nails done and ate lunch. i feel like a baby with a full tummy and nap time...:yawn:
christi ~ hope all is ok there, take cover if you have to. have fun workin out w/the bf, i'm jealous!
jacque ~ how ya doin? been thinkin bout ya. hopin i get to sleep in 2morrow!
lynette ~ hi there! so nice to have you back!
sally ~ thanks for sharing all the info...very interesting. a loss is a loss! congrats!! i have heard that about spicy foods too.
well, have a great weekend SHGP!0 -
Had lunch with mom, spent all day hanging with the parents, actually had a good time. Well just got back from the store and got to cook dinner for my son. Still to full from lunch. Didn't make it to the gym but all that walking with mom then store had to be a plus. check in with u later 0

Good morning SHGP!
Well, we went to the lake this weekend and went camping with my sis and her hubby and 2 kids. Had so much fun!:drinker: :bigsmile: But I did not eat great....(lots of smores) and didnt do much better with dinner and lunch choices....I mean it wasnt HORRIBLE....but not the greatest. NO loss or Gain for this week. I will say I had trouble staying in my bathing suit top (i wear the tankinis) and so my sister had me wear one of her tops (she wears the lil 2 pieces) just so I could get out and swim too. I cant say that I didnt feel uncomfortable...b/c I havent worn a 2 piece in YEARS and though I could stand to lose still some more and tone up my hubby LOVED IT and I too a bit. It was different and nice to not have the clothes cling to my stomach. :bigsmile:
I might try and get up some courage to post a pic I had taken of me.....I will see. :blushing:
Hope everyones weekend went great.
Jacque I love the challenge. I too have a horrible time remembing to post my foods. It would help so much if I did. It helped when I did it in the beginning.
Thanks!
Kelly-CONGRATS on the weight loss. That is soooo awesome! :bigsmile: :drinker: :happy:
Well, I have to get back to doing some work.....I will check in later on today.
Have a wonderful morning my smokin hot green peppers!0 -

kitn ~ glad you had a good time with sis and family, mmm love the s'mores! that is just great feelin comfy in the 2 piece....i have only worn one when i was sun bathing...and much, MUCH thinner. i have a hard enuf time feeling confident in a 1 piece or tankini.

:flowerforyou: morning all! sorry taht I have been MIA..... but a weekend of HOTDOGS got to me (YUCK I KNOW) long story short big party at a friends= lots of leftovers taht we come back to eat:(
But hey all in all its ok!
Im starting over.
Been having 5 kids at the house puts a toll on me espically when one is a baby. for like 9:30 am - 8pm or later......;( Tired , and not able to go far for walks or anything. but always outside lately which is good.
My little girl walked into a bee's hive thingy saturday...and oh my, you never think that thing will happen off the movies, but it does! its scary and sad. She got stung seven times and one was rigth next to her eye...so been doctoring her all weekend as well.
Im not able to get on here as often as before but I will make it a point to do it after the kidos are gona at night.
didn't weight myself because I know the answer to that scale:( but I will this friday as I am back on my game.
love you all for all the help and friendship:)
and sticking by this Looser( But not in a good way looser;( haaa haaa
hope I can drop these pounds but TOM is comming with vengance i feel it already!0 -
P.s
I saw a girl my size at teh beach yesterday in a stringy 2 piece...wow I could totally do that, but I want to mean it when I step out for looks you know!:bigsmile:0 -
Lunch good choices, did a short walk before lunch plan to do another in a while. Keep logging people0
-
what is up hotties!!!!
So i wanted to say I have logged my foods today...so...so far so good!
I had the most yummy salad from subway for lunch. A grilled ckn salad with tomatoes, afew banana peppers, black olives, a lil bit of oil. Its was so yummmm:bigsmile: :happy:
I am not normally a salad eater. I will eat one but I dont ever crave one or truly enjoy it.
But today my friends....I BECAME A LOVER OF THE SALAD!:bigsmile:
saved some to eat later. So far today I have done fairly well and will be doing some walking tonight if its not too late after we do some canning. Otherwise i will be going to the gym tomorrow when I get off work. I have to go. And as soon as I go, I know I would love it and wonder why I have not been in sooo long. So we will see. But after my lil experiance this weekend and wearing the 2 piece...though my fam loved it I still saw where I need to lose but that it wouldnt be much to get myself there if I could get the motivation! I would like to be able to be there by september while at the biltmore b/c they have an indoor pool at the hotel and WOW that would be fun!
Plus I am taking a trip to SC at the beginning of September with the inlaws and there is a pool at the condo they will be at as well as a lake. So lots of swim time. I want to be able to wear something and walk out feeling GREAT! Its a feeling every one of us should be able to feel. Accomplishment!!! Its a feeling we strive so hard to get to. Its seems so far away and just so hard but we just need to take baby steps. Something I struggle with b/c I just want to wake up one day and see myself as I see so many others.
But I am working on that.
I hope everyone is having a great day.
Kelly...I am so jealous that you will be in LV soon. My mgr just got back from there and he loved it!! Didnt gamble but went to alot of shows. Something I would love to do! Maybe one day! get the kids grown up and out of the house.
well going to stop rambling and just get some work done. Surely there are customers that need some attending too somewhere. :bigsmile: :laugh:
lots of love to all of my fellow peppers0 -
Just got back from my 2md 10 min walk. hope to get another one in before I leave tonight0

I missed weigh in day on Friday but between Thursday and Monday I lost 3 lbs. Super excited about that since I was out of town and ate a lot of really yummy high cal restaurant food. I did walk everywhere while I was out of town. So I guess that really paid off. Well I am all up for this weeks challenge and will start tomorrow since today's eating is over.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. Oh and I like the new name!! 0 -

life has not been great over here, i already told u i broke up with my dude and i'm onto 2 new ones right now, can't make up my mind who and what i really want LOL ... my sister will book us for Kusadasi, Turkey for early September, it's very cheap at that time as it's the end of the season but still very warm down there... i hope to have shed a few more inches by then cos she's so damn skinny and i'll look like a balloon next to her, regardless of losing so much weight :ohwell:
hey, kelly, i was just going to catch up with you and you lost 8 lbs at once! geez! congrats! now just keep going that same way! :flowerforyou:0 -
