gonabfit

Hey chipper!

Went to the Dr today, (It is my hip this time! lol) and he said no obviousl fractures but I do have to get a MRI so that they can make sure I don't have a stress fracture. I have a pretty cute pelvic xray, if I do say so myself LOL Hope all is well with you chipper. How is your daughter?
--> Lauryn- can't remember your new name- how have you been doing!? thanks for that message the other day.

Hi everybody! I'm going to weigh in today, too, since I bought a new scale on Tuesday for $25 at Costco (after the weigh in), and I have a corrected starting weight. Unfortunately, it's 1.8 pounds higher, but I've been working hard at this new challenge this week. I'm going to keep my lofty challenge goal weight of about 1-1/2 pounds per week.

It's been great hearing about everybody's lives! Thank you for welcoming me into this group and sharing your stories. It's helping me a lot.

I wish you all great candy resolve this weekend (I made up a candy poem in the blogs section: 'Twas the First of November), and cheers to an extra hour of sleep due to DST. :drinker: Also, there's a full moon on Monday. Does that mean Sunday night or Monday night? Does a full moon effect you? My mom was an o.b. nurse and she swore there were more deliveries during a full moon.

Welcome aboard, Brady. I'm new, too. :flowerforyou:
Happy Halloween!
Susan

Man, I dropped 1 lb by the skin of my teeth this week.. not surprising since it was TTOM. That's how my loss has been going.. 1 lb during that time, then 3 the next week. I struggled with eating, but I kicked it up in the gym and got 4 solid workouts in this week- 2 training sessions and 2 hard cardios. Will get 1 more this week.

So, Sixers, here's to another hard working week for us all!

ETA: Okay, am I a complete idiot? I am clearly not getting what I am supposed to do in copying all the weights.. can someone explain it to me please?!!

Best,
Marci

chipper15173

Hi Jennifer, welcome to this challenge. :flowerforyou:

Congratulations, newlywed! How was your wedding? Did you honeymoon? Where?

Besides forgetting my tiara and my MOH passing out during the vows...it was AMAZING. lol!

Honestly...it truly was just an amazing day. I was really heartbroken because my grandfather died a few months ago and I had asked him to walk be down the aisle. My grandparents raised me so they were more like parents to me. It was hard...but God really graced me because the day was just...great. I am sad it's over! It is so nice to spend time with people you love.

No, we didn't go on honeymoon. I have school so hopefully we will get to do on sometime in the future.

Excited to get back on the track to being healthy and fit!

Thanks for asking =D

drtamm

I wish you guys could see the faces I'm getting by handing out toothbrushes with candy. HILARIOUS!!! I can't help but laugh.


I'm sneaking candy every few moments. Oh well. I did good this week. :flowerforyou:

Jennifer... glad it went well and glad to see you back!

Take care ladies,

tammara

chipper15173

here it is 7:15pm and no trick or treaters. the people across the street got in their truck hit the two house across from me and drove off the street. so i sat for a few minutes more and said the heck with it. and got my bowl of candy and came inside. was talking to shanell on the phone, while she was out with one of her girls. the youngest didn't clean her room so she couldn't go out tonight. she was fine with that, cause the other grandma had given her a bag full of candy today anyway.

going to take a shower than.

chipper15173

too funny drtamm. someone will probably ask if you are a dentist. good idea. i was looking for pencils and stuff like that. didn't see any.

slightingscale

Jennifer,
I can understand. One of my bridesmaids was newly pregnant and passed out during the photos (before the ceremony, thank goodness). The pictures show her dazed, and as white as a ghost, right before the fall! For my 2 daughters weddings, I brought food to the dressing rooms to prevent anyone's collapse. The second time, I omitted the broccoli on the veggie tray (P.U.!). :laugh:

I'm sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. Having such a special person walk you down the aisle would have been wonderful. But he was there, wasn't he? And I'm sure he was very proud of you. :flowerforyou:
Susan

slightingscale

Tammara,
A dentist in our old neighborhood also passed out toothbrushes, and the Avon lady passed out skin lotion samples! Not a hit with the kids, but moms liked it. :laugh:
Susan

vhuber

Things have been going well for me so far ! I had a popcorn ball for breakfast but I counted it! I speed walked four miles (it was a beautiful day)! I have not ate one piece of candy, actually I have not even wanted any!! Speaking of Dr.Tamm's treats, I gave pencils, bible tracts and fruit juice one year!!! I live in the country so we do not get but 6 or 8 kids and this year I filled quart zip lock baggies with candy! They will love it and they will keep their "dentist" busy!!! Have a rest full day tomorrow and I probably will not post till Tuesday! I truly hope you are doing well!!!
see ya,
Verda

ali258

You guys are my daily dose of humor!

Jennifer - Congratulations on your wedding!

Tammara - I think it's great you're giving toothbrushes to the kids. I'm sure they already have full bags of candy anyway.

We only got 1 trick or treater! It was raining here pretty hard during prime trick or treat hours, so I'm chalking it mostly up to that. I had a feeling that would happen, which is why we bought some party favors at Wal-Mart, and fun size Skittle packets (only about 60 calories per pack). Now it's not going to kill my next six weeks of weigh-ins from eating left over Halloween candy.

I hope everyone had (or is having) a great Halloween!

-Alison

slightingscale

Hi Alison - Can you take the candy to work with you? When I worked, I put it in the lunch room - (not on my desk). Now, I send it to work with hubby. It sure is nice to get it out of the house. BTW, how is your new pt job going?

morning...

need to vent....sorry.....

ok, been good, eating, getting in at least 30mins exercise every other day. some days i don't eat the right things, but, not as much as back when. been drinking 6+ glasses water daily. scale goes up 4#s. i get so frustrated at all this. had a dizzy episode again yesterday at walmart. headache today. that seems to be the patten dizzy one day headache the next. not sleeping at night. so tired. moved bed again. on one wall we sleep crappy, on the window we sleep great. so moved back to window. i just don't like being on the window. thinking of making doctors appt. about this dizzy spells and why the weight just isn't going anywhere. i was doing great up until the move/stress/ in may. than it started coming on and won't budge. that seems to be the same time the medications were changing. ump???? maybe having reactions with all the different ones i am on. taking some together that shouldn't be??? i had the BP, diabetic, asthma, added caltrate for low vitD. all changed around that time. the SP changed all together, even lower dose. the diabetic was reduced, the asthma all together. but, that gave me headaches so i went back to the old stuff. maybe than the others.

ok, putting pieces together now. thanks for letting me vent some. i won't get so down on myself. just try to stay in control. going to do some internet investigating now.

ali258

Susan - I'm okay with the candy at home. We didn't buy a lot, and I like having something sweet every day to keep my cravings under control. At least it's the fun size, so it's not many calories for a little pack. The part time job is going well. I'm still in training (through Thanksgiving), but the people who are training with me seem nice, and I'm actually having fun.

Cathy - I hope you feel better! That does seem like a lot of medicine changes, so hopefully you can get it all back in balance soon.

I've been having a pretty good day today. I feel fat, but I think it has to do with going way over on sodium yesterday during my free meal (at Olive Garden). I had the soup, salad and breadsticks and really noticed that my stomach has shrunk. I had way less than I would have eaten 6 or 7 weeks ago, and I was so full for hours and hours. But today I'm back to counting and trying to get in a ton of water to flush out all of that sodium.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

-Alison

I'm still here. Forgot about the unofficial friday weighing. I saw 126 at some point-lost water weight from TOM I think. It didn't stick around I've tried really hard to be good this weekend but it's been rough but I've stayed pretty close to my calories. And played simon says/red light green light and hide and seek with a bunch of kids yesterday.

Sounds like my kids are sicker (I'm a work for a few hours even though it's my weekend off-err!) so I'm seriously thinking about getting up early and hitting the gym so I can be back before DH goes to work since I won't be able to take them to "gym play" as DS calls it. I need to work out-I miss it! Lets see, he leaves about 8 so I would need to get up around 6:30 maybe? It's 20 min away so be there at 6:50. leave by 7:40? Yes I think that's what I'll do!

amylou24

Hi all!

Sorry I haven't been around, mom was in town this weekend!! I am now out of town myself for an on-site interview tomorrow at one of my number one choices for a fellowship!! I'm so excited!! Cross your fingers and say a prayer for me!!

Phone interviews went well last week. I should hear this week on those, but i'm secretly hoping tomorrow goes well enough that I don't have to worry about it!!

I'll let you know how it goes, sorry i can't do personals right now!!

elephantmeg

fingers crossed for you Amy!

I did it! I got up early and hit the gym and got my workout in. AND I did 25 min at 6 mph. I feel fabulous. And DS looks much better today.

chipper15173

good morning.

my weekend.....well was thinking of passing tomorrows weigh in. but, i will face the music, and just do it. it will be way up. it is what it is. i just totally ate and it was good and it's over. another thing to add to my vent. during that time is when i had my gallbladder out too. so just don't know.

just finished my c25k wk3day1. i needed that. wore my HRM today. haven't worn that in a long time. need to adjust the numbers on it. wasn't working at first so only read i burned 250 cals. i don't think that is right.

need to get lots done around here today. so will check back later

good luck amylou, i sent a word on up.

DawnOf1969

I'd like to join this group. I forgot to weigh last week so can I just jump in tomorrow?

Phoenix_Rising

Hi Sixers! I had a rough weekend -- I'm sure many of you understand; dealing with a separation from a man you love who treated you worse than dirt is hard. I don't think I'll ever understand why he couldn't love me, and why I loved someone so worthless. Anyhow, I did get to have my kiddo for a couple hours to trick or treat and that was GREAT! She is my world. :bigsmile: I ate too much all weekend long and I'm dreading weigh in tomorrow! :laugh: Today is my self appointed WATER DAY to try to cleanse out some of this sodium!!

DrTamm, thank you so much for the book!!! I got it in the mail. Oh thank you!!! Can't wait to start reading on it! And as far as buying a candy I don't like ---- um, there is such a thing??? :noway: :laugh: :laugh: I love you handed out candy with toothbrushes! :bigsmile:

Tiff, have you been able to schedule the dr appt yet?

Susan, no idea how the full moon effects me. I think maybe it makes me get emotional and crave sweets and carbs! :laugh: How was your weekend?

Jennifer, CONGRATULATIONS DARLING!!!!!! Do you have any photos you can share? I am so happy for you! I know it must have been hard, not having your grandpa there but he was SMILING down on you from Heaven!!!!

Meg, I swear I just saw your picture for the first time today, but I had deja vu as soon as I saw it. I think you were in my dream last night, I have no recollection of the dream. :indifferent: Weird!! I hope the kids feel better soon!

AmyLou, hope that interview goes well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed. Where is it?

Cathy, weigh in with me. We'll face the music together and be greatful it's EARLY in the challenge!

Hi Bratgrr1 !! Join us!! Tell us a little about yourself. Tomorrow will be a great day to officially weigh in and join. :flowerforyou:

mello

Had a great weekend. I only allowed myself to eat on Saturday, and that was just a little bit. I had a snack pack of candy corns and a snack sized Hershey's bar...it was Halloween!!!!! I also had Sushi for dinner and I'm not sure if it was the rice or the salt from the soy that made me show quite a gain Sunday morinig, but I was back to where I wanted to be by this morning.

I'm soooo excited to officially weigh in!!!!! I've bought a Leslie Sansone 5 mile Fat Burn DVD and it's KICKING MY BUTT!!!!! Good Stuff!!!!! Anxious to see what the results are!!!

Happy Monday everyone!
