She did photo shoots of 5-10 minutes by donation (minimum $60) and we got our pics back today. Here is my fav. It's my profile pic now but I wanted to show it bigger. LOVE IT!!!

    Glad to see everyone is doing well! I had a long day so I'm off for a nap I HOPE and then maybe some dinner. Driving all day drains me. I found two house I loved and I decided on the less expensive one first and then if that doesn't work I already have an offer waiting for the other. WHEW. I'm sorry I haven't been doing many personals but they are soon to come!

    Everyone have a restful evening!


    Rhiannon- lovely picture and your friend did something very wonderful. AWWH and congrats on the leading of the class. You are doing great.

    Love ya all!

    I'm making a new challenge for myself, and am simply taking it day by day. TODAY, for every 100 calories I eat, I am going to drink 8 oz of water. Also, for TODAY, no processed sugar products. I have fallen so far off course, that I need to simply sit back and focus on one day at a time until I can get my momentum back. The rain doesn't help the mood. THINK sunshine :)

    Good morning!

    Cathy...enjoy the treadmill! And you have facebook? You should add me! :) If you want to, send me a private message and I'll give you my info!

    Lula...Yay for the water!! And one day at a time is the way to do it!

    Tamm...good luck with the houses!

    Everyone else...HELLO!!!

    Well...I am VERY excited to report that last night went WONDERFULL!!!! I went home and went on a lovely walk with Kadence burning 260 calories! Then I made a yummy dinner and counted every single calorie carefully! After Kadence went to bed I did a 15 minute Ab workout (which kicked my butt...I mean abs!) And then drank plenty of water before going to bed. Did you notice? NO SNACKING!!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I am SO proud of myself!!! This is the first night in a LONG time where I had no evening snacking!!! I could jump up and down!!!! YAY!!! I'm hoping for another successful day today!!!!

    I have a meeting all afternoon today, so don't know how much I'll be on here! And I'm going to try and get on from home this weekend, but I have dial up and so might only get to enter in my foods! So...have a FABULOUS weekend and I'll check back when I can!

    Tamm - You are going to have to tell us(well at least me) ALL about the house if you get it!!! I love moving, (does that make me weird?) MI is the longest place my family and I have ever lived and thats because my brother and i begged them to let us graduate from HS before we moved again, I regret making that decision, We have been living in MI for 8 years now, and I REALLY dont like it here. I CANT WAIT to move to florida, and then after a couple years there I will pick somewhere else to move! haha Maybe I will join Amy in the ISlands! haha

    OH!

    So forgot to update about me,.... I can hardly keep my excitement down, SIXERS, I cheated, well i cheated in the sense that I stepped on the scale.... and I weighed in at... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN 202.4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That means I have lost 2.4 pounds in the last 4 days!!! THAT IS AWESOME! (at least it is in my mind!) I realized that I can TOTAL get under 200 for my birthday on Wed. It would be the best birthday gift I could give myself!!!!

    So I will keep up my work, and i wont just be 4/4 by my birthday!!! I will make it 5/5 today... and the next day, and the next day!

    Oh so as I was telling Amy, I def. have a cold. I've been sniffling for 5 days now, sneezing for 3 days, and last night I started coughing and havent stopped yet.. and actually bout an hour ago I coughed up my first amount of flem or w/e its called(EWWWWW). hoping it is just the changing of the seasons, I will break out my herbal health stuff tonight and get rid of this cold! I didn't end up working out yesterday, I forgot that i had to meet with my family lawyer in between classes. I had to sign paperwork determining power of attorney, how hard they try to revive me if I ill, etc. It was pretty depressing.. I ate soooo little yesterday tho, and I can't figure out why, the only thing I could think of was from lack of sleep/the cold coming on.

    Well thats all I can think to say about myself right now! Check back in later! LOVE YOU GUYS!

    Don't know how much of this is because of my cycle or because of my two days of binging and still retaining salt among other things. But next week will definitely be better!

    Sorry I haven't been doing personals. I am definitely thinking about you, but have been going crazy trying to get everything done before kids are off next week. I miss you guys. Keep going.

    B - absolutely awesome. 199.9 is definitely doable! You can do it for us!!!

    Talk to you all soon

    okay def. sick.. cant stop coughing... and i am starrting to get that head foggyness that comes with having a cold.

    I just got a call to babysit. She assured me the kids would be in bed so I said sure thing. Which means no gym tonight, but its okay i already ate dinner, so i just finished logging my food. I am hoping to get a good amount of sleep tonight, I would like to get up early tomorrow and go to the gym! SO if I do good and not snack tonight, i should be 5/5 tomorrow! :)

    Amy your lilttle one is sooo adoable! VERY CUTE SIGGIE!!!

    Amy (bahamomma) - he is so precious. Awesome pics! Good for you for having such a wonderful inspiration

    B - HUGS!!!! Sorry you are sick. This weather is messing with everyone I think all over. Try and take care of yourself.

    Well, I met 3 out of my 4 goals yesterday, the one not met was eating past 9:30. But I ate within my calories, so not so bad.

    Goals for today:
    Run 3 miles
    Water! - 8 oz per 100 calories consumed.
    No processed sugar
    No eating past 9:30

    Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    I am so so so proud of myself.... I got up at 7am this morning and for the first morning in a week ... i did 50 minutes of working out ! and i am going to do my 30 minutes on the WII later .... so ill be well over the 60 minute goal of working out per day ! I did a leslie sansone power mile ... as well as a 35 minute yoga booty complete body workout ! ahhh it felt good !

    And now im drinking my first 32 oz jug of water ... and had a fiber plus bar !

    I CAN DO THIS ! :tongue:
    I booked a photoshoot for the 10th of april .... to give me TWO Weeks to lose 5 lbs at least ! if i havent met it ..... i cant go !!! if ive met the goal then I can go !

    Made a break-through this morning .....
    :happy: :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Yesterday i was feeling crappy for myself.... and made an entire package of break and bake pillbury cookies ! Ugh .... anyways i got busy and never ate them ... and forgot i made them actually..... so this morning when i finished my workout here they are staring at me on the stove ....

    I didnt think twice about it ..... grabbed the entire tray .... and threw them in the garbage..... and washed the pan !

    HOORAY :tongue: :laugh: :wink:

    BIG STEP FOR ME !
    i calculated if i can lose 2 lbs a week until december 12th .... (when we leave for our 5th anni trip with wyatt to take him to disney world again) ...... i can be 194 :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I found that very motivating.... because we have been to disney for our honeymoon (215 lbs), first anni (246 lbs and pregnant), 2nd anni (252 lbs and pregnant), our third we skipped because we had a newborn lol, fourth anni (269 lbs with a 16 month old) .... so this year to think i could be UNDER 200 IS AMAZING INCENTIVE ! wow ! to counteract the birth control, the two pregnancies, one miscarriage, a c-section, and a toddler ! AHHHHHHHHHHH! :flowerforyou:

    SO IM ALL IN IT GIRLS !
    kick my butt if I even begin to not lose lol !
  • vhuber
    vhuber Posts: 8,779 Member
    YEAH for conquering those goals!!!!
    AmY, wow! Way to have POWER over those cookies that is awesome! My downward spiral was with the Reeses Pnut Bttr EGGS!
    Even though I am to be in menopause, I have been having PMS and a slight period again for the last few months! Poor body is such a mess!!! Yesterday was two of the eggs and today we will fight harder!!!!

    AFM:

    yet another mini-success.... hubby called and asked what to order from this awesome take out place .... and i changed my mind FOUR TIMES ! ended up ordering

    1 garden salad with no dressing
    (i will add 2 tbsp of my own dressing)
    1 chicken salad sandwich no mayo on WHEAT BREAD !

    WAHOOOOOOOOO
    sooooooo happy !!!!!

    normally i will be honest it includes chicken, fries, cheese sticks, macaroni, etc ! you get the picture !

    WOOHOOOOOOO

    OMG! Forums are movin! haha ,

    AMY!!!!! OMG CONGRATS ON THROWING OUT THE COOKIES AND ORDERING HEALTHY!!!! that is amazing! you are def. on the right track!! I am soooo proud of you! AND YOU CAN TOTALLY REACH YOUR GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I know you can lose the weight for your photoshoot! WOOT WOOOT... and i know i had more to say here but i cant remember what it is...

    Verda - haha EGGSS I love easter candy. prolly the reason I havent been to a grocery store in like 2 weeks because I dont even want to be tempted!!!

    I am going in and out on feeling sick and feeling better, the broncaid, vitamins, and teas are def. helping. I am super tired, my short babysitting gig turned into a 3 am job when the mom decided she wanted to stay out longer with her creepy date. I didnt mind too much.

    So I need some personal advice. I know I have told all of you that I am in a long distance relationship. And I really like the guy, but since I have been working so hard on my future lately things have been really clicking for me. And one of those things is that Alex isn't the "one" for me. He is a great guy, I do love him, he has everything personality wise that I want. But he doesnt have a real future. He is okay with the life he has (which is poverty, not that there is anything wrong with that lifestyle, but it is CERTAINLY not the life style I want) he hates education, it is very doubtful that he will go onto college, and he considers being a "Carny" a "CAREER" and not a job. I guess I kind of knew this when I started dating him.... Here is where I am having the most conflict tho... We are really good together, but I know that he isnt the one. Do I stay with him because I am enjoying it, and I am young? ORRRR (i am feeling the pressure to figure things out and grow up cuz of my 20th birthday on WED) Do i break his heart, and my own in some ways, and end things and try and find someone new?... Its becoming a huge conflict with in me.... I am moving to FL after all... but i dont want to hurt him, and I dont want to hurt myself and be alone... HELP!

    oh! and I am doing good so far today only had a yogurt so far... Going to the gym after work and then out with the girls for some girl time!

    Hello Sixers!

    AMY(BAHA))- You did a better job than I could have with the cookies. Home baked gets me every TIME. YAY that is v ery imprssive!!! Thanks for thinking about me! LOL, I'm alive an well!

    Verda- A few treats hasn't killed anyone I know yet. LOL. Enjoy yourself. Any new dvd's in your life?

    Cathy- Sounds like you are doing a great job! I know you had your last session with your trainer but are there anythings you learned that you can apply daily? Best wishes! How is Shanell?

    B!- Follow what your heart says! I mean you are young and you deserve to be happy. Its crazy how life is. Long distance relationships are difficult. If you do decide to stay with him, maybe your drive to succeed will give him the power to overcome his ideas about school. Only time will tell!


    AFM

    I made an offer on the house, got a counter, I sent another counter.... Only time will tell! I do really want them to help with closing costs but they aren't really interest in that. IF this deal doesn't work, I have another house to try!

    Take care friends!!!

    Tamm

    P.S. Tiff went to Atlanta to celebrate with a friend for her birthday

    B, I'm going to be very frank and I hope that's okay. On one hand, you ARE young and there's no rush to settle down. I think if you re-read what you wrote, you'll notice that you made reference to breaking up with him and "finding someone else". I can be picky about vocabulary and its power in our minds and lives. How about you don't worry about "someone else" and just live true to yourself. Being great together is great. Loving someone is great. But I'll share some wisdom both from my life experience and moreso from the perspectives of the several friends I have right now who are recently divorced, many of whom were happy enough in their marriages and many of whom ignored blatant signals: The more partners you meet in the world, the more you'll realize that chemistry is easy to find, even feeling good in a relationship isn't hard to find. So if you can say "he's not the ONE but.. but.. but..." it doesn't matter. It's that first part that counts. And I think most people can vouch for the fact that staying in a relationship once you realize it's not all there can lead to trouble in the end. Better to call it once you see it. Definitely not always an easy thing to do, but so important. This may be controversial advice up next, but I think the most important thing you can do is not to feel like you're looking out for "the one". Allow yourself to have relationships with people and keep one eye on your autonomy. I'm not saying shut people out, but be confident in your autonomy and let relationships just be what they are until you see a reason not to be in it anymore, and then call it like you see it. Because the person you click with completely in the way that you mean when you say "the one" will not disappear when you maintain your ground in your autonomy or the convictions about what you want in a relationship. When you feel comfortable not LOOKING, the right person will be crystal clear. When we are seeking something we can often find it where it doesn't fully exist. I hope this makes sense. I feel like I'm not explaining myself well. Anyway, follow your heart - always - and you'll reap the benefits throughout your life!

    Hi guys. I need to say that you guys are awesome. I definitely need you and you have been there for me. I even got a personal message from one of you that brightened my day, in addition to all the words of encouragement on here. I promise to be more involved next week, but again THANK YOU
    Group_Hug_Emoticon.gif

    B- As someone that vaguely remembers being 20, and 15 years later is on her second marriage, here is my 2 cents worth. Broken hearts do heal, his or yours. Guilt is never a reason to be with someone. That leads to resentment and aggravation. And if you stay in a relationship for those reason and eventually bring children into the mix, then they are affected. If you know now that he is not the one for you, then let him move on and find the person that is, and yourself. And who is to say that he will not grow up one day and it might work out. Either way, relationships are a lot of work and commitment, and marriage (hopefully) is forever. You want to make sure it "clicks" for you in all aspects. Anyway, that's my humble opinion. Again, remember I've already had one failed marriage, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Goals for me today:
    Go for a 3 mile walk with my daughter.
    Drink 8 oz of water per 100 calories eaten.
    No processed sugar (doing pretty good with it, other than little tastes - saved myself from a lot of desserts yesterday)
    No eating past 9:30
