Onederland: Congrats on meeting a new mini goal on your Walk it Out game!
Positively: Great job getting out to your state parks!
Littlespy: I've never been much of a TV watcher, but I used to sit around reading and eating all day in my previous life...at least in the winter. I've always been really active in the summer with the volunteer work, but I honestly never thought I sat around enough to get fat...and I probably didn't. For me, it was eating fast food constantly between summer activities that made me fat. Anyway, it just breaks my heart that so many people don't even want to attempt to be active, especially considering the guy who said "I have cable" can't use his girlfriend's WW scale. He uses his racecar scale in the garage to weigh himself!0 -

Oh girls, its been so long, and I 'm having a hard time coming on here to chat with you all. It seems like every time I do make it over to the thread so much has happened that I feel like I can't just dive In. I have no idea what's going on with everyone and what to say at all. If I dont talk to anyone in my check in then I dont feel accountable or like I should even come back to look, and that's whats been happening with my last few posts.
I'll try harder but its already so hard for me to keep up with between school work and family and friends...Ugh...I'll try to read a little tonight before I post my check in. I have to post it, I need to get back into the swing of things. I feel my inspiration slipping away...:grumble: 0 -
DEFINITELY BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, MOMMA! :ohwell: I remember when I thought a size 20 was big. I'd give anything to be in the 20's now! Someday I hope!I decided to make my profile pic one of myself from years ago, it was the heaviest I had ever been(at that time) and I hated taking pictures because I thought I was fat. :noway: I was thinking I would like to be that "FAT" again!!!!!!

COGirl - I am so sorry to hear of your furry friend loss. You are in my prayers.
mari - Please never feel that you can't just come on and post without making comments for everyone! That is what I love about this particular thread - it's perfectly OK to be yourself, and to be your busy self, too! Many of us do not have the time to read everything or post about everything. It's really OK, sweetie! We love you for who you are!
Welcome, onederland! You will love it here. :flowerforyou:
check in:
cals: OK - much better on sodium tonight! Whew!
water: 90
exercise: 50 mins bike, 10 mins walking
proud: OK, you're all gonna laugh at this one. I was driving my car & noticed something very odd - I was leaning forward to look into the rear view mirror. I realized this had been going on for a while now. The first thing I thought was, "Somebody has moved my mirror! Someone keeps getting in my car at night and they keep moving my mirror!" Then it dawned on me - my butt shrank! LOL :laugh: I had to adjust my mirror because my butt shrank and I sit lower in my car now than I did a few months ago! 0 -
Mari, you just stop by and say !! Hey girls I am busy but I wanted to make sure that I checked in today. You do NOT have to comment on everyone. You are our girl and we would never want you to feel like you can't just check in cause you don't have time to read everything we wrote. We Love you!!!!
Bluenote, I was laughing about your butt shrinking comment. The other day I realized that I was shorter in my seat as well. I realize I have the same problem that shrinking butt. You gotta love it. By the way thanks for always giving me the support you are the best
I am checking in early today. I am exhausted so here it goes
Cals: Under, only because I am not eating all of my exercise calories
exercise; Cleaned house and washed walls, due for a yoga session with my daughter this afternoon
water; still working on it but doing pretty good
I am proud that I cleaned walls, cleaned the house and kept busy today. I burned over 500 cals and I said I did light cleaning ( I actually did some heavy duty cleaning, taking down curtains to wash. I even cleaned the ceiling in the master bathroom. ) I have a terrible bleach headache cause I tend to be the bleach queen!!! But my house is clean. I relax so much better in a clean house.0 -
High school weight.. well to the best of my memory I was about 175lbs. I can't remember at any time I was under 125, but then again I was 5'10 in 6th grade.
Today has been good, I worked out this morning, worked in the yard (laying flagstone) this afternoon. Then picked up the kids from school with the husband, went to sonic and got a HUGE diet drink "Happy Hour" something we rarely do and went and played disc golf along the poudre river. It was some much needed family time and we all had a fantastic time!
check in
Calories.. good
Exercise.. good
Water... well still working on it
Proud.. I am trying to get back on track with vengeance!
Thank you all for all the well wishes about loosing 2 of our 4 furry friends this past week! It has definitely been a stressful one. However, I always say everything happens for a reason and at least Gizmo and Little Bear are together now.
I have got to get some work done now as I am behind with my monthly emails. TTYL0 -
Mari - you are one of us now so don't you DARE sneak away just because you are busy! I've been just doing quick check-ins for over a week now! It's life! PLUS you can't give in now- sure it's fine to take a week and eat your maintenance calories but there is no going back to "before" because this feels too damn GOOD! You KNOW it does! And summer's almost here and you can actually get out and DO stuff this summer! SWEET!!!:flowerforyou: WE love you - you're family:smooched: no chance of sneaking off now! We'll tattle on you!
I'm in training all week, so I'll be on in the AM and PM but probably not much during the day. Training will also make my exercise a challenge because I have to get into work earlier and they've put us on a 30 minute lunch (so no walking). I am kinda tempted to post that our VP has scheduled us to a 30 minute lunch all week on our wellness site, as an explanation for why I have cancelled out of our daily walks. But I suppose that "might" make him look bad... grrrrrrrrr... I worked so hard to get to a salary job and now it's like being hourly again but without overtime :huh:
I'm also suffering from allergies. I take a non-drowsy antihistamine every day but I think they're overloaded right now! I'm stuffy and I have a sore throat:sick: I think my sick stomach might be a little from sinus drainage (TMI I know!). But I should adjust and having our windows open is so worth it while it's warm outside
Colorado Girl - I'm so sorry about your fur-baby!
Meokk - thanks for checking in I've been thinking of you and your family!
Chris- seriously you've been biggest loser for weeks now - I think you're allowed to stall out a couple days over a major holiday! Common girl! Cut your body a little slack here! You're going to fly by 213 so fast you're head will be spinning!!!:laugh:
Awestfal - nice photo - I hope you can see how awesome you're doing! I hope you love the rock hard legs you're getting from all that running!
BlueNOte- love the "REAR"view mirror story it's wonderful!
You just keep those beautiful moments tucked into your heart for the days you lose site of the losses you've made!:bigsmile:
Heather - I was out in nature this weekend, so beautiful! But now I keep thinking I feel a tick on me. There are no ticks on me. My brain is messing with me and it's hard to type when I keep having to touch every spot I feel any movement LOL!:laugh: ticks suck
Momma - I was 135 and FAT when I graduated. I lost about 20 lbs after I got married and was skinny looking at 115 but that's my goal weight by most calculators. This weekend I looked over at my tiny granddaughter and said "You're my height and you have tiny bones like me - what do you weigh 97 lbs?" She rolled her eyes and said "NO WAY Grandma - I'm 103 and my doctor said I should try to gain ten pounds!" omg. My left leg has to weigh more than her. BUT I'M GETTING THINNER EVERY DAY AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER!:drinker:
LittleSpy - I am inspired by you and this Saturday I'm going to get off my duff and put in my front garden!!! It's chick-weed and daffodils right now
Positively - enjoy your time with the kids and enjoy our weather!!! Whoot! Outside time is awesome!
Onederland (is that right? ugh and the memory goes so soon) WELCOME! It's great here - I wouldn't do this without this group!
I'm hot and sniffly and grumpy so I'm going to go annoy my husband (it's what I do best when I'm in a mood!) OK OK, I'll go make up a healthy dinner... (and then annoy him) YOU ALL 0 -
Goodness gracious. Being away from the thread all day is no fun!! I missed being able to post and talk with everybody!! So I think I'm caught up...for now anyways..
Cris-Don't worry girl you are gonna blow right passed 213. I just know it. We aren't going to let you give up like you did last time. You all helped me through mine last month.
Heather-That would be awesome if I lived in Minnesota. I been to Minneapolis several times. My best friend went to college there. I could definitely use someone to go hiking with. The closest I get now is going to Wisconsin. I'll be in Green Bay in a couple of weeks for my cousins wedding reception.
Colorado-So sorry to hear about the passing of your furbaby. My heart goes out to you. Hang in there. You will get through it.
Onderland-Welcome to our wonderful thread! Can't wait to learn more about you. You will get to where you want to be. You're off to a great start
lsptal-Hope things start looking up for you soon! We sure miss seeing you around.
Mari-Glad to see you posting!
mstahl-I'm in training all week too and I hate it! It definitely is throwing off my meal plan as of today. I have all my lunch stuff at my other location so I had to run to the store and get a Healthy Choice steamer thing. These people are killing me!
I know there are several others that I probably missed and I'm so sorry but I did read everybodies post! I guess I could weigh in on the HS thing. In HS I think I graduated wearing a size 16...not sure how much I weighed..maybe 180 or 190 (I have big hips!) and I thought I was a cow then...on how I wish I looked like that now. But I'm almost there! Not going to lie, I do still have my homecoming dress and prom dress...I put it on to see how close I was...:laugh: Quite amusing!
Thank you all for the compliments on the dress!! Glad to see everybody let themselves be a little naughty on Easter and back on track today!0 -
OH man! I just logged all my calories. BEFORE dinner.
Seems that chocolate attack put me way over for the day... AND I felt worse after it not just because of the loss of control but all that sugar and crap made me physically feel sick.
Jess - you Heather and I will have to have a cyber hike or something
lstPaul - we're trying to figure out what we can sell to pay for "lifters" for our septic system. You know - putting money in a septic system is not exciting. I feel your pain :flowerforyou:
Checking in:
Calories - over by about 400
Water - not yet but still working on it!
Sodium - YIKES!
Proud - that I'm going to get in my water tonight and get up tomorrow and go to the rec center and walk/jog week 4 day 2 even if it kills me.0 -
bump for later0

My fiance and I just saw that on the news. I truly hope everyone you know gets out alright!
Cris- I think you're body is just teasing you for a few days, you'll be watching that scale fly downwards in no time
COgirl- I am so sorry for the second loss of a fur baby. This really must have been a hard week for you, I hope the coming weeks are much better!
Meokk- Happy to see you check in, we look forward to you coming home and updating us all.
Msthal- I think it's taken everything in me not to go on a chocolate binge today...I hate TOM...9 months without it was glorious!
Onederland- Welcome to the "losers" club
I don't think you'll find a more supportive and kind group then this one!!
So today I pretty much told exercising to take a hike! TOM has been ridiculously horrid, I'm miserable, moody, and lazy! I don't want to move cause I feel like crap and I want to eat and eat and eat [trying to restrain from that however] My daughter starts her Kindergym class tomorrow evening so we'll have the walk down there and the walk back [which I plan on extending] and whatever I have to do there to participate with her [toddler version of gymnastics] so that will hopefully get me in the mood to get doing things again!
[ I tried the whole weigh in for TOM causing a loss rather than gain and it put me down 1lb :huh: not sure why it does that but I'm not complaining lol]
Checking in
Calories: Just barely under [without exercise]
Exercise: Nadda

Sodium: Was around 1450
Exercise: w4d2 of c25k and 15 minutes on the elliptical

Proud: As much as I didn't wanna get outta bed yesterday morning to workout I did. Not to mention the girl I am training with yesterday just chowing on candy bars all day. This chick ate 3 candy bars, a package of powdered donuts and a coke and a Sprite...and I only sat with her from 1-6...sheesh!! Anywho. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! See all you ladies tonight if I can't check in at all during the day again!0 -
Awestfall: I will keep your friends in my thoughts and prayers. I heard about the mining explosion on the radio this morning. How terrible!

Not much to report here today. I didn't exercise because I had a meeting after work yesterday, but I made sure I would be okay on calories even with my Caribou Coffee. I'll workout tonight and get back on track. Some of the sodium from Easter is still hanging on, but it should be gone soon.
Have a great day!

Exercise: 20something minutes biking; not logged are a little gardening & some cleaning
Water: Over 100oz
Proud: I didn't give in to girl time cravings. Yes, I would'ved loved to eat 3 pounds of chocolate for dinner. But I had a chocolate greek yogurt instead (oh, they're so awesome).
TMI: I peed away 1 pound I was retaining yesterday. Now I'm working on the other 3. :laugh: TOM & his friends bloat & cramp are still here with a vengeance (once again, I nearly called out of work). :ohwell:0 -
I feeeel like poooooooo! :sad: I dont know what the heck is wrong with me. My body is all achy (not a good sore from excercise) and I have no energy. I almost feel like I did during my first trimester, but Im pretty sure Im not preggo unless the BC failed me :grumble: I just overall feel poopy.
need a nap NOW
have a weigh in today at the gym for the BL contest, Ill probably show a gain as the scale is still saying 217....ugh that does not help my mood0 -
Update gals!!! it is looking more and more like my friends are part of the now 25 confirmed dead.There are still 4 missing but they have suspended the search to release some toxic gasses that are preventing them from continuing the search.No news of the two men I know that were inside the mine when it happened.11 bodies have been identified 14 unidentified and 7 of the 25 have been pulled out of the mine and 18 of the 25 confirmed dead are still inside the mine.So sad and my heart is just breaking for the families in my hometown here.Just to give you a picture of what WV is really like.I have lived here most of my life and the people here are my family (kin or not) when tragedy stricks like this WV comes together as a whole to help each other out.I love this state and the people who live in it.0

My heart sank when I read this...I'll keep hoping its not true...please continue to keep us posted0 -
Ann, I am so sorry about your friends. What a sad day for you all. I just saw your Gov. and he said you all have a lot of faith and you come together. I will be praying for you all.
Snowflakes, thanks you are so sweet. That was one of my babies that was sooooo sick. I went to the hospital because I thought I was in labor. When I got there they said you are dialated to a 2. The doctor came and said even though labor has stopped I feel like I need to keep you.( the nurses kept saying as soon as the doctor gets here you will be going home) The next morning he examined me and said you have no water bag. He started feeling my sheets and asking me if I felt water gush out I said NO. The baby is still not due for a month, but he says because I have no water bag he is going to go ahead and induce me. He comes back in at noon and examines me again and says. What is going on? You have a full intact water bag. He looks up and says someone wants you to have this baby today and I am not arguing with him. He broke my bag and that afternoon I had that precious little girl. On a hunch the doctor had her tested and found out that I had an infection that she got because I had a tear in my water bag. If I would have carried her for another month they would have been delivering a still born baby. They told me she was very sick and would be in the hospital for at least 21 days or more. That picture is of us sitting in our livingroom the day she came home from the hospital, she was 7 days old.
Cris, they have early preg. tests!!!0 -
