    Happy Monday! I can't wait for the weekend :laugh: Between the time change and being silly to stay up and watch something last night I am wiped. Seriously I am counting the hours until bed time. I am not going to bed until I get a good workout in though. My 4 yr old already has booked me to do the 30 shred with her before dinner and I will jump on the elliptical after the kids are in bed. My 4 yr old loves the 30 day shred, it is pretty adorable. She uses small soup cans for hand weights, she was offended when I told her she didn't need any weights so we compromised with soup cans.

    momto4... my three year old LOVES the Shred too!!! FUNNY!!


    BTW: breakfast this morning consisted of bbq ribs.... not so great!!! I'm definitely NOT the model of health this morning!! :laugh:
    Anyway, I have stayed away from the scale all week... I'm very pleased with that, because I was weighing two or three times a day and that is NO GOOD!!!!
    I am still able to pull smaller stuff out of my closet... I'm so excited about that... I also packed up my bigger clothes and gave them to a lady in our church that is that size.... She was excited... I was excited to get rid of them :smile:
    Had a fun weekend! Ready for a great week!!... + it's Spring Break!! Woo Hoo!!! :drinker:

    I did a bit of a spring clean out of clothes too, but there wasn't a whole lot to get rid of after my big clean out at the start of the new year.

    I went shopping Friday night with my husband and got some casual summer clothes (just a few tops and capris). Saturday I went shopping with my 12 yr old daughter and she talked me into some pretty amazing dress pants I never would have tried without her encouragement. I got a couple of pairs dress pants and few blouses and some jeans. So losing weight is becoming VERY expensive for me. My husband totally supports it since he says I have worked hard and he thinks I deserve to show off my new body in style, but I know that another 15 pounds and some toning will have me out of these sizes. Oh well I was excited the largest size I bought was an 8.

    Even though I am not normally big on shopping I have to say it is much more fun when you KNOW that you look good in what you are trying on!

    Kandy - congrats on staying away from the scale, I know you struggle with the to weigh or not to weigh question.

    Wow!!! a size 8!! Way to go, momto4!! That is fantastic!!!
    I know what you mean... I am limiting what I buy right now and trying to use a lot of my "old" clothes because I will eventually "shrink" out of this size too!!!! IT's a great feeling!
    AND the outfit I wore to church this Sunday was for the last time.... It is getting too big!!! IT's just fun!! :happy:

    I too am pulling out the old clothes- fun closet shopping. I am currently in the smallest size I have though (14) and will soon need to do some shopping. It's pretty funny how different my size 14 clothes are- some that are older are pretty small and some that are newer either fit perfectly or are too big.

    Hope everyone has a good week. My new weigh in day will be Thursdays.

    Happy Monday everyone! I had a bad night of eating last night.. I kept going back for more frozen yogurt.. I think I had four bowls :blushing:

    Oh well, today is a new day. Just had some yummy subway for supper, and about to go teach for a couple hours. I get to teach again tomorrow night and then wake up super early to catch a flight to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.. woo hoo (sarcasm). There's going to be a lot of eating out so hopefully the week doesn't set me back too much!

    I agree momto.. losing weight is VERY expensive! I've always been used to not liking the way clothes looked on me so I rarely bought anything. Now I love the way everything looks, so I keep buying new clothes! My poor bank account is sad.. but at least I'm happy! :laugh:

    Amanda - I need help staying motivated these days! Maybe we can keep each other on track!

    Lara - I have my "old" clothes too from like 10 years ago and I can wear a whole size smaller if I go to the store and buy new clothes....but hte old ones fit fine so I'll just keep wearing them...but LORD I'd love to be a size smaller just by buying "new" stuff. My friend & I call it vanity sizing....I have found that Old Navy likes vanity sizing the best...they cut their clothes much larger than other places.

    Schlieffen - Have fun!

    Good Morning ladies....I'm thinkign of layign of the scale for awhile....not sure. I need to try something new but staying away from the scale doesn't usually help....but ..... weighing myself twice a day isn't workign either....

    Hooray for bringing new clothes out of the closet! :drinker:

    I actually did that last night--I'm at home at my Mom's house for spring break this week. Not only did all my old high school jeans fit, but for kicks I tried on my old cheerleading uniform from middle school (6th grade uniform). IT FIT! I then asked my mom if I was fat in middle school :p I would think it's a size 6 b/c it was a little tight. That just blows my mind...

    I haven't seen my fam since January, and my dad saw me and said, "Hey, skinny!" That was so weird. And Mom kept telling me that my collar bones are prominent and my arms/hands are thin. It's weird to hear myself referred to as "skinny" or "thin."

    I agree with laying off the scale for awhile. I don't have one here, and honestly it is a relief. I weigh at least twice a day, morning and night, and I wanna escape it for awhile :) So I will just record a no gain/no loss for this week and leave it at that.

    Mamakat- love the new pic!
    Busymom- have an awesome time celebrating your daughter's bday. Eat a piece of cake! :)
    Amanda- we are all rooting for you and are glad you are back after sb!
    Momto- may be expensive, but how exciting?!
    Kandy- add my giant cinnamon rolls to your breakfast of champions and you've got yourself the ultimate meal ;)

    lol it's so funny! I'm actually making 2 cakes for her bday the unhealthy one and a diet coke one! The unhealthy one will be the Elmo cake and the healthy will be the Zoey cake. :bigsmile:

    We're getting Chicken Shack but I'm making a healthy mostacholi as a side so I can try and balance that out. :bigsmile:

    I am reporting no change this week. Down 0.2 so we will call it maintaining.

    I hope the scale is kind to the rest of you!

    Well, ladies! I totally sprained my ankle last night at Boot Camp... I can hardly put any weight on it this morning and it's still swollen... So, I will be back to elevating and icing this morning :tongue: My kids are going to burn me at the stake because we had the zoo on the agenda this morning, but I seriously can't see myself hobbling all over that zoo today :sad:
    But, I did get good news from the scale...

    So having the scale at home is proving to make me a little crazy about it. But it has been showing goodnews. I only weigh in first thing in the morning after using the restroom. Yesterday it was down to 280.4 and today it was down to 280.0

    IF I keep up that weight loss throughout the rest of the week I should be down 2 pounds next monday. It has helped to show that the scale doesn't lie and it will show my progress when I make the effort.

    I do know our weight fluctuates during the week so I'll take the rest of the weigh-ins with a grain of salt (or something less likely to make me retain water XD). Thanks for all the support on coming back in.

    I can't wait to see everyone elses pictures! I'll do mine on my birthday (July 30th), lol. Compare them with my 22nd bday pics.

    Amanda- I've found weighing everyday keeps me honest. Like I'll think i could have another xxx I don't weigh in until next week and so on but weighing in everyday makes me say no- I want a nice weigh in. If I'm up and I've done everything right I just shrug it off. :happy:

    Yolie! I'm so glad you check in with us!! Do you have an adorable baby bump??? Pictures!!! :wink:

    I really think I might change my weigh in day to thursday... I weighed in again and lost another .9 lbs. Which is 0.2 less than last Thursday so it's not such a crazy number. Right? I have no idea what I'm trying to say. I just want you all to tell me I can use this weigh in so I have my 40lbs lost on my ticker! :blushing: :blushing: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    This week has been kind of awful to say the least and I haven't been eating well AT ALL! So I'm reporting a gain of 0.5 lbs. I'm surprised it's not more but I'll take it.

    LW: 188
    CW: 188.5

    I may be moving out of my apt in the next couple weeks so that should give me an extra boost of exercise and hopefully raise my spirits. I'll probably find out today if I got the apt. *crosses fingers* I really need some good news.

    I don't know why I can't seem to get on track on stay on track these days. :cry:
