  • Hey Pam that is awesome! I am so happy for you!

    I'm having issues with the site too. I set it as my home page, but when I started it up this morning I kept getting errors. I also tried to reply to several posts, but the pages won't load. This is the first one that let me reply. I thought it was my internet too because I had a virus last week, but everything else is working fine. Must be that everyone is on this morning planning thier weekends or something.

    I'm kind of envious if you are in a place where New Moon is in the cheapy show now! I haven't seen it here yet:cry: in our cheapy show. It must be coming soon, I'll keep my eyes open!

    I'm down another 2 pounds! But I'm not counting it till Monday, hopefully it will be more like 3 or 4...??? Yay!

    Hope you all have a fantasic weekend!

    :brokenheart: :sad: I didn't loose any weight this week I don't know why I stayed under my calories and worked out at least 30 min, a day,My scale doesn't have the 173.5 just the 173 guess I will have to wait until Thursday when I weigh in next week can't do it on Friday because I will be on my cruise. :happy:

    Good morning girls! It's gonna be a great day! How do I know? BECAUSE IT'S FRIDAY!!!

    Pam - Congrats on the 5 lbs! Feels great doesn't it! :) Keep it up girl!

    Aisser - Don't be discouraged by the lack of a loss. You're body could be doing it's own adjusting. Stick with it. Have fun on your cruise!! Exciting!! Where are you going?

    Holly - Yay on the 2 lbs. I've given up on weighing myself during the week. I'm either really discouraged or really excited and by Monday the results are entirely different. Too much stress :wink:

    Tea - Yes! 5k on the elliptical! Once my treadmill officially died I felt like I had to do something to keep up with the C25K work. Ellipitcal was my only option since it's way to cold, snowy and icey in Maine to do any outside running. The elliptical is ROUGH, but it's worth it. Much harder workout, but I want to keep the cardio up. I should be flying by spring when I get my feet back on the ground! :bigsmile:
  • I've tried to reply for a while but the website was being stubborn. Glad its fixed. Doesn't Mike ROCK!?!

    Aisser - Sometimes I find taking my measurements shows more progress than that evil scale. Especially the scale at my family doctors office. His scale never seems to budge even though my scale shows loss. It bugs me because that goes in my record and I'm sure its not right. But my measurments show the real deal and so do my jeans.

    Heidi - Thanks! I normally don't weigh myself so often, but since I started taking thyroid meds I've been so curious that I jump on unofficially every morning. I used to only weigh in once per month and even that was discouraging. I can see now that it wasn't all my fault. But I do need to slow down, lol.

    hi all :) just wanted to know if there was room for one more ?? i have about 50 lbs to lose and think that going to watch eclipse at the cinema with my svelte self is great motıvation lol :)
  • Hey there, I'm a newbie to mfp. My hubby is on here, posting all the time, but I haven't joined this part of the site. I admit, I'm not totally obsessed with Twilight, but I read all the books because the teen girls at church were reading them (their mothers weren't)! So, I wanted to be a sounding board for them. :smile:

    Exercise: Mike and I try to exercise 4 times a week together, but we don't go to a gym. We workout to dvds in the basement. I love not having to go anywhere! My body seems to like maintaining a weight of anywhere between 175-178. Right now, I'm at 178. I'm like many of you, 5'4", so this weight isn't healthy for my frame. I have gotten down to 156, which was a great weight for me, but went back up to 175 after a major panic attack that lasted 2 weeks. I know exactly what to do to get back down there, so that's where my head is right now.

    Food: I home school our two children, so for me, I have to workout before they are up. I am a morning girl, so that's the best time for me. We try to eat very healthfully, so organic, whole-grain, natural stuff is where it's at for me. I have learned over the years that I have to plan for my food. I don't want my children to EVER have to struggle with their weight. Both are very active, and we do Tae Kwon Do as a family. Both are super lean, and I love that their dad and I are instilling healthy eating habits in them. Not that they never get anything sweet, but we do limit it.

    Okay, I'm a blabber. :laugh: Hope you all have a great Saturday! My son and I are actually testing for our next belt level in TKD today, so I'm off to do that for 2 hours! I'm usually toast the rest of the day. Take care, all!

    Sarah :heart:
  • Welcome Selinee and Sarah!

    Good morning everyone! I'm loving this post because I feel like I'm getting my Twilight fix. School started back up for me and I have no time to read for recreation.

    Anyhow, I have nothing to do today except clean, do homework and write my proposal for a small group ministry I'm going to lead at my church. I wish I could have slept in, but of course when I have the time to sleep, I can't. Ain't it funny how that works out?:laugh: Well, I better get off MFP before I get sucked in and don't do what I'm supposed to do.

    My goal for today: Workout with Bob on the Wii, do 10 push-ups and 20 sit ups. (I joined a challenge for c25k, 100 push ups, and 200 sit ups!!!!) Also I should thow in some dishes, laundry and vacuuming along with my homework and proposal. OK, so much for a day off! LOL

    Enjoy your day!

    Selinee - There is always room for more! Good luck to you on your 50 lbs weight loss journey!

    Sarah - Welcome! Sounds like you have a very busy/active life. Good luck to you on your belt testing today and getting back to a healthy and smaller you! I have experienced panic attacks myself and they are no fun. Glad that is now behind you!

    Sounds like you're gonna have a busy day! I can't say much, mine is looking to be about the same! I loved C25K, let me know how it goes for you! The personal growth is just amazing!

    I can't wait to watch the Twilight Showtime specia tonight! YAY! We have a family date in front of the TV at 8PM!

    I already went to zumba 30/30 (30 minute of zumba, 30 minutes of strength training). Off to a great start! I've been under my calories so far all week. Weekends are the toughest so I'm hoping I can hang in there!

    Till next time :smile:

Don't care where I go I have fun on the ship lots to do.:smile: Good luck on everyone's weight loss. :happy: Welcome to all new bees

    Morning All! Anyone watch Twilight on Showtime last night? We had a family date with the tv and loved it. I was little disappointed at the end as I was hoping they'd give a sneak clip of Eclipse, but they didn't. Oh well. It was an excuse to watch the movie once again.

    Everyone have a great Sunday

    Hi Heidi! I heard it was playing on showtime but i dont have it :frown: so instead i went on youtube and brought up some new moon music and fan made video on eclipse..that was fun..didnt lose since my last weigh in but chalk it up to my whacked out body metabolism:grumble: but feeling good and i've no intention of stopping:smile:
  • Happy Monday! Woo woo! I'm excited because I lost 4 pounds this week!! Now thats a great start to my week! OMG if it wasn't so early and the walls weren't so thin I'd scream! Yay! I'm glad to see that and get in a good mood because I have such a crazy day ahead of me. I'm seeing the endochrinologist today and I can't wait for him to mark my progress in my record!

    Well, I slept in a little this morning, so I need to get my but moving to class. Hope you guys have a great day!

    YAY! That is FANTASTIC! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a big number too. I feel really good about my weigh in. I have been a good girl all week and weekend (and weekends usually are SO hard for me). Course, TOM is just around the corner and that usually hinders things. Hoping it doesn't impact until NEXT week since I've worked so hard!

    Don't get discouraged! It's a new week. Keep on the game face :wink:
  • My wife would be all over that one...
  • Hello fellow Twilight fans!!

    Looks like I have a lot to catch up on, huh? Busy busy busy weekend w/ the girls, which meant very little relax/computer time for mom. And it looks like it will be that way for most of the upcoming weekends with Girl Scout cookie booth sales, and other commitments taking up a lot of hours.

    I have to run to get the girls from school, but I wanted to pop in & say HI! Thanks Andi for coming & posting a message to me that I'd been missed! I missed you all too!!

    Be back from home in a bit!

  • Hi Everyone..Has everyone seen the new Eclipse trailier? It's awesome!

    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7n6ih_eclipse-official-trailer-twilight-s_shortfilms

    Tearose -- while the trailer is interesting, this is NOT the official trailer (despite what that site says).

    For one thing -- Jacob in this trailer is portrayed by Steven Strait & the clips of him are from his film "The Covenant". Additionally, at least two shots of Bella are Kristen from other films.

    Summit Entertainment has not yet released a trailer for Eclipse, nor has David Slade been notified when one will be released. Trust me -- when the real thing is released, we'll all know about it ahead of time so that we can plan to be watching the TV or the computer to catch it over & over & over again!!

    Nothing like the stupid scale at the doctors office to put me in my place. :sad: According to that scale I didn't lose a darn thing. And I'd complain that its wrong if it weren't one of those mega scales like on the Biggest Loser. Not to mention his office in in a weight control center so its callibrated to the tiniest gram. At least he was cool enough to remind me that my purpose for going there is to make sure I stop gaining weight, so I get a star from him on that note. He expects to see bigger numbers from now on. I'll take, it I guess. [{SIGH]}

    I'm in! I'm new to MFP, but not the Twilight Series. A bunch of us "old lady moms" took our girls to see Eclipse at Midnight. It was great! (The girls have decided to induce a chivalrous movement, they are willing to become injured if all hot men will remove their shirts to use as band aids!) As for what team I'm on, I saw a piece of flair on Facebook that said "I'm Team whoever that guy was in the van that almost hit Bella." :happy: Looking forward to losing weight with all of you.
