    omg myth you are sooo close to your goal!! hooray :)

    i went shopping today, to find some jeans that DON'T give me the muffintop while i work towards the other ones :P . I went to starbucks there and got a tall caramel frap light... and i just logged it. 90 cals! that's compared to what i used to get before this year--a caramel frap with the whip, too. 240 cals I think it was. what a difference! I'm so glad i have stuck with this, even if I'm still a bit far from my goal. At least I know that I'm making good changes that will stick with me forever!

    Hope everyone's doing well!

    Sorry I've been away so long. Just have not had the chance to write anything. Did Eek find new jeans? How is WW coming Myth?

    I sent a message to New Begging but have not had a reply hope everything is alright.

    Need to start checking in more and started yesterday doing my daily food diary at lunch at work. Also have new app on Droid phone for resturants.

    posting's slowed down a bit :(

    yep, I found some pretty awesome jeans. i love them! i've been eating pretty well. school's starting next week, too. i'll appreciate the schedule that school brings to the day. it keeps me busy so i don't feel like eating all the time :bigsmile:

    How's it going, Myth, Jaymie?

    Hope Thalia makes it back on soon :frown:

    :flowerforyou: Hey guys, how's it going? I'm up to my knees in school stuff, but I'm still doing well! I stick to fruit and nuts for lunch, rather than a peanut butter sandwich (which is what I've been doing my whole life, lol).
    Hope everyone's doing well, too!

    EEk, I gave up bologna sandwiches for lunch that I had eaten my whole life. Know how hard it is to give up a favorite.

    ok Ladies I am here! lol Yes kids are back but this year fortunatley and unfortunatly it looks like I will be needed at school a couple days a week. Darn county and state keep fireing our teacher assistants and teachers. crazy! But I am here and kickin butt! lol I finally hit the goal weight I set 5 LONG *kitten* YEARS AGO! rofl I hit 125.... but I want to do more. But there some changes that I am just amazed at! The way some clothes fit better then before, my jeans seem to big! My jackets (since winter is comming) I tried on a few and was like wow this fits awsome... didnt realize the reason it always fit funny wasnt the cut.. but me.

    Today I was watching some show on tv at the gym (hehe) called Dr. Oz he had this research scientist guy on there who was researching cancer and the effects certain foods have on certain types. He says mother nature is wonderful. Our food natural foood ie - fruit and vegetables etc. provide such wonderous things that it is truley amazing on how they affect our bodies and can provide the things our body needs. He is going to do a huge 1 million people research on how and if theses certain 5 foods affect cancer or certain cancers the way he believes they will. But THAT TRULEY HIT HOME! Ladies this is what we are all here for. To get healthy.... and he just backed it all up. Made me really think and makes me want to try to make better choices and totally eat more natural foods. Well just food for thought and had to share. Hope you are all doing well.

    on a side note, one day I wish could meet you ladies! :)

    Thalia hun you here?

    Hey, guys! Glad to see you back, Myth! And congrats on meeting your goal! Bet you feel fantastic! I totally get what you're saying about the whole natural foods are better for you thing. I think that the way many people eat now is dangerous--that is, eating foods with lots of random chemicals in them... I know that it's pretty unaviodable now to stop eating those types of foods altogether, though. However, yeah, I definitely eat more fruits and such now than I ever did a year ago. I bet I eat more of them in a day now than I did in a week at one point in time. I'm proud of myself. :)

    How's it going, Jaymie?

    Thalia, hope all is well.

    Hello EEK, Glad you checked in. Know school is eating time. Congratulations on the fruit. (It is cheaper than chemicals as well) I agree with Myth we should get together some holiday and meet in person.

    yes chip getting together would be great but our down under friend I think it is Jaymie is the one we would have to work around... is someone in canada to??? lol ok off to get my darn house work done! fun fun

    Oh ya I lost again this week down to 123.8! OMG!!!! New goal by the way is 118 by halloween. WW is haveing a lose for good campaign right nwo and we have to bring in can goods to match the amount of weight we lose every week and they will donate money or food dont remmeber which. so yaayy!!!! It ends Oct 27th for me because I am leaving for my kids first trip to disney this year on the 28th! So I am gonna lose it just to gain it back going to disney ROFL!!!! But I am excited cant wait!

    Keep up the good work ladies... LAst week at ww she talked about a little at a time and basically if u lose just 1 pound a week by halloween you will have lost 7 pounds...... by turkey day you wil have lost 10 pounds!!! That is all it takes ladies.. that shocked me for some reason.... I never imagined I would be here at this weight again never mind the actual chance that I could weigh even less! It also helps to add this way of thinking to the rest of your life. Think of where you are right now compared to where you were this time last year... R u more conscince about what you are eating? Do you feel better about your descicsions? Are you another step closer to something you were not even near last year.... Little steps and goals can go along way!

    ok ill stop preaching now lol xoxoxox

    Congrats (again) Myth!!! And you're spending Halloween in disneyland? That's so cool! By the way, I'm in Canada :flowerforyou: Hmm... I am definitely WAY more concious of what I put in my body now. And I think the biggest difference is that if I slip up mid-day, I make up for it later by eating a bit of a smaller dinner... not just throwing my hands up like OH WELL, I screwed up so now it's over and I should just eat junk for the rest of the day because I suck and can't stick to a diet. Everything in moderation.

    Speaking of Disneyland, I've got quite a year up ahead... my family and I are skipping present-giving at Christmas and are going on a road trip in the states somewhere, in February my soccer team is playing in Vegas, in March I'm going on a trip in Europe with my school for two weeks, and in April, Disneyworld. Oh my gosh... SO MUCH MONEY. I'm going to have a get a damn good paying job somewhere... which is hard for someone young like me :sad:

    Sooo, I plan to be where I want to be, weight wise, by January-ish. Which I can for sure do!

    Hope the weekend has been good for everyone!

    Just uploaded the application for MFP on hubbies new droid phone. Maybe it will keep me honest for the weekends when I'm away from the work computer. I'm getting better at traking my food and watching every calorie I put in to tummy. Now I need to figure a way to exercise to get rid of some calories.

    AAaah. I hate how easy it is to keep on track during the week, and then struggling on the weekend.... how is everybody else doing? I consistently stay around 1300, 1400 cals during the week, which is under my goal... but then on the weekend it slips up to 1700... sigh. I think it has to do with the fact that I eat a bit of a bigger breakfast, and dinner on the weekend.

    Myth- Hong Kong! How was it there? I want to go to Japan myself, seeing as I'm pretty good at the language. And I want to go to New York, too! My friend's going next month and I'm soooo jealous. haha.

    Chip- lucky! i wish i had a phone that could do that :( good luck!

    hey again guys :)
    so tonight it was a whatever-you-want-for dinner night. everyone just makes whatever they feel like and usually it's unhealthy options, and tonight was no exception! everyone was making those pilsbury mini-pizzas. well,, i stepped up to the plate and ignored the wonderful aroma of the pizza calling me and made some chicken-vegetable fried rice. it was totally delicious, and everbody was actually jealous of me! lol. i would give you guys a recipe but it was an on-the-fly thing. basically chicken, mixed varieties of rice, broccoli, celery, carrot, green onion, some garlic, some sake, and soy sauce. (i love sake). SO GOOD. lol.

    Eek, dang that sounds good,lol although in my house asian and indian food are a norm around here, hence why it is so hard for me lol. My hubby loves asian food! Hong Kong was great! We were there for 10 days, there were a few places we wanted to go back to more then once but couldnt find them again! lol But it wasgood. It was hot and muggy there just like Florida (where I came from).

    My hubby likes asian food as well not so much the Indian cusine. We have several local mom and pop Chineese take out places we frequent on Tuesday night as a treat. Most of them know us by now and make hubby's meal very spicy. We had a customer in Japan for a while, but they kept coming here so we never made it to their business. We do like to travel, but will need to slim down a little.

    lol, Indian food is my nemesis. I can't stand anything spicy... I struggle to eat things like burritos and kung pao... even though my family tends to cook mildly. I don't know why but I just can't eat it haha. I prefer things on the blander side (which is probably another reason I used to eat so much...)
  • chipgal
    chipgal Posts: 140 Member
    EEK I agree about spicy food. I hardly even put pepper on my food and my hubby puts tabasco sauch in everything.

    Hello my ladies :flowerforyou: Hope evryone is doing well. missed you guys all very much. Made me tear up (:sad: ) when I saw all you guys thinking about me :heart: What a wonderful group you are!

    My sincere apologies for missing for a very long while. I have had so much going on. I have thought many times I need to check in but was always making excuses. I find myself so depressed that i guess I just dont want to bring anyone down with me. I have had so many terrible things happen to me in the last 2 months that i just thought I wasnt going to make it.

    Im slowly trying to get my life back together and iv gained and lost the same 10-13 pounds over the last 2 months but at my lowest i was 197 and im about 205 now...Not the greatest but i think over all i tried not to turn to food as much as humanly possible..

    Ill be honest I didnt read every single post but read most missed you guys so much :bigsmile: Its going to be so hard to get back to 1200 calories a day. I either find myself eating way too much or starving myself cant seem to find a happy medium.

    So I read that you want to go to greece and Las vegas Myth :) You can come visit me in Las vegas and I am Greek so ill take you there too haha! and I love New York. I work for an airline so i got on a plane flew to new york from vegas spent the day there and flew home. It was awesome. Def a must see city.

    And someone is getting married correct?

    Chipgal how are you doing?
    Eek I like your pic :flowerforyou: very pretty

    Well hope your ladies are all doing well. My goal is to be checking in at least once a week. now that I have my own place I dont have my computer and I can only use the computer at work and we are always so busy. But ill make the best effort possible.

    Talk to everyone soon!

    Like the new picture Thilia. Glad you have found yourself a place to settle for a while. :bigsmile:

    It will take a few weeks for you to catch up on all of us we have been posting away. We tried challenging each other again occasionally. Myth has kept us together and posting and keeping our spirits up. Will type more later. Need to get back to work.
