Is anybody currently in 22's or want any 22's. I have several pair of 22's from last year. Capris and Bermuda shorts. Keep in mind I'm a short person. However, most of them were too long on me and I had to roll them. Let me know if anybody wants 'em!0

Hello ladies -
Still feeling cruddy. I went to the doctor. They did a quick strep test. It was negative. She said they aren't 100% and they could do a throat culture but put me on antibotics as a throat culture will just hurt more and since i have been exposed to two little kids in my house with it. If it is viral it will have to run its course. So i took my 1st does of antibotics, not feeling better yet, it has only been like 5 hrs so hbopeuflly i will soonn...i really hope it isn't viral cause i can't stand this for like a week. It hurts sooo bad to swallow, my head is killing me i just took some tylnol...really hope i feel better soon.
That evil dr scale that I usally dread said 280.4 this morning which was nice.
cris - Yay on 50 lbs !!!! I hear you on day care. When we moved from TX to missisppi trying to find a day care was horrible. We had them in two different ones and an inhome one. They didn't get as sick in the in-home one but i couldn't stand the lady. They get sick in the one they are in now,...but i think that is the nature of the beast....good luck to you.
littlspy - I have missed sooo much...so did you buy the 5 fingers? Do you like them?
Jess - I am far from 22's or i would take them
Okay not far, but like 1 size, i am almost in a 24.
Momma - Glad you are finding someone who is interested in ryan and helping him. I am dreading 2nd grade, serena has been such a handful i hope she gets a good teacher that will work with her.0 -
littlspy - I have missed sooo much...so did you buy the 5 fingers? Do you like them?
I did buy them. I do like them. A lot. I've had to get used to them but them along with my new barefoot running form have made running a lot more awesome (and much less painful) for me.0 -
littlespy - My husband has been wanting some for months, When I wear my tennis shoes they hurt my feet, i run in place on my wii barefoot and not nearly the pain, i wonder if they would be good for me.0

Well, I finally caught up on all the posts! I don't like it when I am super busy at work and can't check in or "stalk". Anyways, the work day is almost over and I only have 2 more days to go!!
Miranda- I totally understand the sodium thing! I didn't know how much everything had in it either. I find out after the fact and freak out but know I am learning what things I like that has high sodium and trying to find better ways. I eat a lot of frozen foods (which are ALWAYS high in sodium) so I am going to start trying to make things at home to bring to work. Good luck, you can do it!!
Lildebbie - Hope the meds help soon. A lot of people up here at work were sick with something viral and they was at least 1 person out for almost 2 months. It was crazy! Hope it's not viral.
Jess - Love the dress! You look so beautiful in it!!!
I'll check in later! Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday!0 -
Before I forget litspy, did you use the powder (fat-free) milk with the whey? Interesting..I might have to try that since I just throw it out..and feel guilty doing it. Thanks.
I actually put the powdered milk into the 1% milk I was using. It made the yogurt a lot thicker so it didn't need to be strained. But it's a little lumpy. :huh: It's not too bad and I don't mind it, I'm just warning you! :laugh: I think I'll use less powdered milk next time & see what happens. I've thought about just sticking the yogurt in my food processor to delumpify it but I guess it doesn't bother me enough to warrant doing all that.
Thanks litspy! ONe more thing...did you boil the milk w/ the powder milk...( i have never used powder milk before)? I need more protien in my diet..w/o going over on calories and fat.0 -

I did boil the milk with the powdered milk already in it. I figured since boiling the milk is necessary to break down the protein so that the cultures can eat it (I think, right?), it probably needed to be done for the liquid milk an powdered milk, too.0 -
Last night was kinderfacts, Ryan did great the teacher said. Also she came up to me and said she requested Ryan for her class in kindercamp this summer. What an answer to prayer. She is one of the few who actually sits down and works with him instead of letting him just wander around and not learn. I was so happy. Honestly, I felt like a lot of the teachers may not want him just because he is so much to handle with other children. He does real well one on one. but you get him in a group and he is all over the place. So that was great. Did not get my tires rotated Grandma came over so I will do that today. (grandma is my mom but she does not come to see me anymore:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ) Anyways I did great yesterday, okay not great but really well and I stayed within cals, and I exercised, I am off to a good start today as well. See you all later and hope you have a great day.:flowerforyou:
Momma: that is nice to hear you found the *right* teacher for your son Ryan...If I would hurry up and finish my degree in Elementary Education and Early Childhood....I love a challenge.. I like working with kids who some teachers think are not ment for regular school system..hang in and it will hopefully get better

littlespy - My husband has been wanting some for months, When I wear my tennis shoes they hurt my feet, i run in place on my wii barefoot and not nearly the pain, i wonder if they would be good for me.
It's not so much the shoe as it is how you run. Running barefoot forces you to run on the front of your foot, rather than pounding your heels into the ground. So, when you run on the front of your foot, your knees stay bent & you lessen the impact of running on your entire body.
I also like that the 5fingers allow (errr, force :laugh:) your toes to spread out like they should be. It looks so funny to look down and see your toes all fanned out like they're supposed to be.0 -
MY last post ( I think) for the afternoon. I have to go start making dinner...before i leave
Awestfall: that is a deal...i am up for the challenge of helping each other out..We can do this! thanks for the positive attitude and congrats on your anniversary and hopefully many, many more...I love the new profile pic..sweet kids of yours..God bless
LItspy: thanks. I will def. try it out..
bye for now 0 -
Littlespy - Thanks for the info on the 5 fingers.
Those of you that do the c25k, do you use some of these podcast i am seeing, make your own?? or just watch the time? The few i found i don't think i could work with , i need something that i will enjoy and much more hard rock...0 -
Well, it was busy enough at work not to stalk again....hopefully I'll get to check in more tomorrow.
Have a great evening!

Wait..I've been told my whole life that the way I walk is wrong. I tend to walk on my toes alot instead of rolling my foot. I'm better now but when I run I'm definently on my toes. People say it gives you back problems blah blah blah, but out of everyone I know I have the most solid calf muscles, best arches in my foot and the strogest foot muscles. Never had back trouble or any kind of foot trouble. I've worn flat soled converse and sandals my whole life, I just bought my first pair of padded sneakers this year... Does it have to do with the theory behind these shoes that we're actualy SUPPOSED to use our toes for support? That's kind of neat.0 -
When I was doing it, I did use the Robert Ullrey podcast. His music was mostly house/techno stuff.Those of you that do the c25k, do you use some of these podcast i am seeing, make your own?? or just watch the time? The few i found i don't think i could work with , i need something that i will enjoy and much more hard rock...0 -
Ha Ha Bluenote, I see that 78 on your ticker !!!!!:drinker: :drinker:
I told you so :laugh: :laugh:
From your mouth to God's ears! :noway:
Yes, I am very happy to see 78, but do I think I am out of the dreaded 75 woods? NO. I want that ticker to read 88 before I feel safe!!! Yes, I am a very big worrier with high anxiety issues when it comes to losing weight. Plus I'm a perfectionist. Oy. But I am working on being grateful for where I am at the moment. And at the moment I am scared to death! Grateful, yes, but scared to death! :ohwell:0 -
Blunote - yOU are awesome and you will do it!!!!
I am soo tempted to move to my ticker to 279.5 today that is 30 lbs...i want to see that 30 lbs, but i think i need to wait as I am sure me not eating much the last 2 days is helping much.0 -
Bluenote and litdeb,you guys will achieve you goal...no doubt about it!!!0
-
Check in:..calories:under (but yesterday i went over by like 300- which was my exercise calories), exercise:yup!!did the go old elliptical, water: about 10 cups and counting, proud: i didn't over do on my calories...,sodium:about 700mg, fiber:about 30g....

Bluenote-78 pounds!? WOW GIRL YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You blew right passed 75 so fast I didn't even see!!
I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT!! I FINALLY went to a cycling class!! 60 minute and burned 568 calories. Not too shabby if I do say so myself! I had to share with y'all...I'm starving! Need to go make dinner! Be back later!0 -
quick check in for today
calories - 1513 (ate about 1/3 of exercise)
water - 100oz
exercise - 40 mins walking
Jess - well done with the biking and all those calories.....you deserve a treat!0 -
Checking in for 5/4
Calories: 1464...plus some...I had chips and salsa and couldn't find the nutritional information. I still have 354 exercise calories left
Water: 120oz
Exercise: 60 minutes of spin class!
Proud: I finally attended a spinning class! My booty hurts but I loved it!!0 -
Mari -- Yeah, the whole concept of barefoot running (and the VFFs) based on the theory that we've only been wearing shoes to run for about 80 years. How did humans evolve to run? Yeah, barefoot.
There are actually a few scientific studies that have shown running barefoot is more efficient. There are population studies that show barefoot runners report many fewer injuries (but of course there are so many other variables that could be involved I tend to take those study results with a grain of salt).
Lildeb -- When I did C25K the first time and this time I'm using Nicole Blum's podcasts. They're the only ones I can stand at all. I tried Suz's but I hate her interval transitions. And I hate techno. Nicole Blum uses most hip hop and pop. Not music I normally listen to, but it's a lot better than any other podcast I've found. http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/
Jess -- CONGRATULATIONS on the spin class! Are you walking funny now? :laugh:
Well, tonight a random stranger asked for my phone number for the first time in a long time. A customer. He wasn't a winner by any stretch, though. :laugh: I felt bad afterward, but when he asked, I laughed. I didn't know what else to do. Then he just kept saying "maybe next time?" So I just kept saying "Yeah, maybe next time..." Seriously, what are you supposed to do in that situation?! :laugh:
05.04.10
Calories: will be 1548. SPOT ON! (Base + exercise = 1548!)
Exercise: 30 minutes stationary bike (8.8 miles)
Water: I think I'll end up at 15 cups
Proud: I went to Goodwill tonight to look for new pants. I bought 5 pairs (for $20!). ONE OF THEM IS A SIZE 10. YES, I CAN ZIP AND BUTTON THEM!!! HOLY CRAP!!! I CAN WEAR A SIZE 10! Apparently those pants run a size big because they fit just like the 12s I tried on.... but still. I also got 2 size 14s which actually fit loosely (!) and 2 size 12s which fit tightly (lol). I won't be wearing the 12s or 10s in public for about 10 more pounds, I guess. BUT HOLY CRAP I FIT INTO AND OWN A PAIR OF SIZE 10 PANTS! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I can't even imagine wearing a single digit size. :noway:
70 pounds ago I wore a size 22. :indifferent:0 -
LittleSpy-WOW!! That's so great! Size 10's!!! How does that feel!? I bet it feels amazing!! As far as the phone number, I problem would of done the same thing! I wouldn't know what to do. That never happens to me! Job well done! :drinker: :laugh:
I am walking a little funny. My hiney hurts a little that's for darn sure!0 -
jib - WTG on the size 10's...that is awesome.
jess - wtg on the cycling class.
Check in -
Calories 1151 - that was after a 400 + calorie snack of pb and carrots, probably less than though because I put too much PB, and don't think i will eat of it. I was under 1000 thought and I know I needed to eat more
Water - 8 oz,
exercise - nada
proud - that I saw a 27# this morning , it is very motivating for me to keep it under 280 hopefully it wasn't a fluke and will stay on that low.
also ...I am feeling better hopefully it will continually get better and the sickness will leave.0 -
LittleSpy-WOW!! That's so great! Size 10's!!! How does that feel!? I bet it feels amazing!! As far as the phone number, I problem would of done the same thing! I wouldn't know what to do. That never happens to me! Job well done! :drinker: :laugh:
Um, it's kind of awesome. :happy: I know I'm not *really* a size 10 yet. I'm a comfortable/loose 14 or tight 12 in most pants. But last August I took a few pairs of size 20s into a fitting room. And then stood there crying because I couldn't get any of them even close to zipped & buttoned. That was a horrible feeling and I'm sooooo much happier now.
Tonight I started by trying on the 14s. They were loose. Then I tried on the 12s and they fit nearly perfectly. Will be awesome in 5 pounds or so. I nearly died. Then I dared to try on the 10s. And when I got them buttoned I just stood there with my mouth open. :laugh:0 -
Good Morning everyone!
Jess: I knew, for sure, you would love spin class...they do have bike seat cushions so your hinny won't hurt as much. I have one of the cushions for an out doors bike..because when i use to go riding wiht my kids by butt would hurt for days. Maybe you should invest in one if you are going to take spin classes more often. Good Luck!
Litspy: Congrats on fitting a size 12, 10 , or a single digit, like a 6...you have come so far and everyday i am amazed by your enthusiasm to a whole new you. Good Luck on your journey to a new you
I bought a 2 shirt ( from khols) for my daughter, who is thin but has an hinny and chest ( yea, she is 14 and a C cup...she is blessed ( like me) from the top and junk in her trunk ( like her aunts) from the waist down..I have no curves), I usually get her a Small or Medium tops because i don't like the shirt to be tight. She tried them on and said she didn't like them on her..they didn't look good on her because the shirts was too long ( I forgot to mention she is short..her father's side of the family). she was like why don't you try them on...i said no because i felt they were going to be snug on me...more like paiinted on..so i declined. so she was like why don't you use them as motivation to get into them...she said put them on and see how long you need for them to be able to fit. SO i did....and They fit! I acutually fit into a size Medium...and it was not snug at all ...2 months ago i probably couldn't get it on over my head...but I am so happy i fit into a smaller size...i was origanally going back and forth from a XL to a Large...but never did i think i would get to a medium..especially @ 209 pounds...
I don't see much of progress from the scale, but from my clothing everything is loose..which makes me happy.
I have to go...son want to eat..so i will be back later..chat later0 -
Jess and Pos Me - Congrats on the small clothes!!!!! makes me want to go shopping just to see what I can fit into. :drinker:
So I just measured myself again and in a little over 6 weeks I have lost:
Bust - 2.25"
Waist - 2"
Hips at widest point - 4"
I'm pleased with that but it means that my waist to hip ratio actually is larger than 6 weeks ago....I must have "stubborn belly fat" :grumble: .........anyone have tips for me to help me lose more in the mid section????0 -
Morning Ladies!
Bluenote - That is great on the 78!! I can't wait to be there too! You will be at 100 lbs lost before you know it!!
Jess - Great Job on finally getting to a cycling class! I have always wanted to try one but haven't gotten the courage do them. I feel like I would die in the first 5 mins. LOL! :laugh:
Lilspy - That is awesome that you could fit into a 10. Even if it doesn't fit quite the way you want it to it will soon enough. I haven't EVER fit into a size 10. I think the smallest was a size 12! Maybe one day I will be able to say that I can fit into a 10, that would be AWESOME!!!
Pos_me - That is such an amazing feeling. I bet that definitely got you more motivated than you expected! :flowerforyou:
Meokk - Those losses are great! I need to measure myself. I keep forgetting when I get home. I will have to set a reminder. This will be my first measurement so I won't have a loss yet but I am motivated after seeing everyone elses!!
check in from yesterday
calories: WAY over!! :noway:
sodium : over
exercise: 10 mins of walking
proud : nothing. I had a really bad night last night. Not in a great mood today but I am not going to let myself eat that many calories today.0
