June Starters~March 15

Mornin' ladies!!! :happy:

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.

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.

My spring break =(ed) Jury Duty, Video games, and a whole lot of nothin but bad foods.

See my blog for more info/ranting.

Weigh in this week: 280.8
Up 1.8 pounds.

I'm back though, thanks for everyone's comments on my statuses and helping to get me back here.

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.

Lara

Today is my daughters birthday!!!! WHOOO!!! She's so awesome! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:


I pre-weighed in this morning to see where I am since I didn't do well this weekend... Up 1.3 lbs from friday but still down total from last wed. lol I need to be good at dinner tonight so I can log a 1.2 losss to get to my 40 lbs officailly lost! I KNOW I can do it!!

I had my hula hoop yest and worked on it for 10 min. Only dropped it once. I was exhauseted! It's A LOT of work. I wasn't wearing my HRM so I logged it as general arobics... Hope that was right... lol

Hope your all having a good day!

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 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
