200+ (Week 23) Shrinking into Summer begins!

Ok, between hubby being out of town and TOM this weekend I was a mess. I was in so much pain Thursday and Friday I broke down and took one of my Hydrocodone:noway: . I hate taking them, but after a long day at work then getting a 2 year old to bed I felt like someone shot me. I am not going to even discuss my food from this weekend. TOM was not nice. My cravings were intense and that is that. Back on track today. Ugh, I don't know how much more of these bad TOM's I can deal with. I feel like crawling into a ball for two days.

Enough about my drama, pain and falling off the wagon.Moving on cause this is a new week and I have a wedding in 10 days. Sadly I wanted to be 190 by the time the wedding came, but that is not happening. Now I am pushing just to be under 200...again:mad: .

Nikki - I feel the same way about meds. It is like the past 2 weeks I have been on a downward spiral. It's ok though. I need to get up, brush the dirt off of me and move on. Hopefully next TOM will not be as bad. It really was horrible. Worse pain then when I had my c-section when I had my son.

Here is the starting chart for the new Shrinking into Summer challenge. Anyone that wants to join or be on the chart, just post your highest weight, start weight and goal weight - then report back each Friday for the next 6 weeks.

Woo hoo! New challenge. Come hell or high water I WILL get to the gym Friday to both work out and weigh in.

Both of my knees are hurting today. At first it was just my right knee and I thought it was still from over extending it while going backwards on the elliptical about three weeks ago...but now they both hurt. Not sure if its the weather or what. All I know is I am going to take an Aleve and tomorrow when I get to work start taking teh glucosamine/msm tablets I've got consistently. Ouch!

Well ladies from the looks of our chart, everyone was a winner!! No gains is awesome!

Shrink in to summer here i come. I just bought the wii fit. well i only went in to by the step bench but the wii fit game came with it. it seems pretty cool.
On another note i lost my motivation to workout but this week i'm getting back on track. i was burning myself out trying to do a 75 min workout tor 4-5 days a week. So i'm gong back to what worked for me in the beginning. 30 ,im work outs 4-5 days a week. I have maintain my weight loss though.
Can you ladies share what your food log is with me. i feel like i cant eat anything.

I actually find that I lose more weight when I have 1 or 2 good 60+ min workouts and the rest of the days stick to 30 min light workouts.

My diary is viewable by friends. Send me a friend request and you can view it to your hearts content. I do tend to eat everything but try to watch portion control.

Good Morning....I have a very busy day today...just stopping by for quick Hellos. Everyone did Super during this past challenge (Thanks Victoria for the charts) We are getting closer and closer to those goals. I just can't wait to be out of the obese catagory, for me that would be a BMI od 30 or under...right now I'm at 30.6.....a few more pounds...for sure sometimes during these next 6 weeks!

Pinbot...Virtual High fives to your Mom for me...for getting you moving. I hope your feeling better...I hate the cycle time...ugh, boo hoo, we have to deal with all the crap!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Great Job Nikki!!

Carolyn..Vent away, we're here for you!!!

Hello to everyone:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Have a great day!!

Good Morning All!!!!! Hope everyone's week is going good. Mine has been one of those weeks that I'm just ready to have over. I have had a horrible headache since last night, and even taking meds and sleeping it off has done no good. I thought the lights were going to be the death of me this morning. I hate migraines with a passion.

Anyway...I didn't make it to the gym last night, and tonight I'm just going in to tan, BUT I am going to go on a long walk with my mom...she needs the exercise as much as I do, but isn't motivated to do it alone. I understand. My workout buddy is having to go on medical leave (various different issues), so I'm alone. I am keeping her in my prayers though. She's had it rough here lately.

I would like to ask that you guys keep my parents in your thoughts also...they've been married almost 30 years, and my dad decided a couple of months ago that he wanted a divorce. Things have been a little tense around their houses (mom moved out).

I better get back to work before I get busted for being on the internet!!

Have a good day everyone!!

Hey yall! I got a lot done yesterday. I was hoping to do an hour at the gym, but had to stop after 45 minutes. I had talked to Shaun (the guy I'm seeing) around 6 and told him I needed to go to the store before I met him at the gym. I sent him a text around 7:15 telling him I was getting ready for the gym and I would meet him there. I was there by 7:40 (thats really late, even for me) but he didn't show up till 8!!! GRRRR!!:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: I had to sit there and wait for him because he wasn't a member yet. Little did I know, he didn't need me to sign him in as a guest cause he signed up for his own membership! :explode: :explode: :explode: Dude could have sent me a text and said he was running late, he was going to get his own membership and I should start without him. Plus the fact that I hadn't had dinner yet.....yeah, I was super cranky. So by 8:45 I decided I was too tired to keep going and had too much to still do at home, so I got off the elliptical. He said he needed 12 more minutes on the machine. I told him to come over when he was done. So....I went home and kept doing the laundry and started cooking dinner (my super yummy black bean quesadillas)....he finally showed up around 9:25. (Hello?? that was more than 12 minutes behind me!) He works 3rd shift and goes in at 10 so basically he came over, I fed him and he left. He's going to a comedian show tonight and something else tomorrow night. It will be so nice to have a little bit of time to myself. He's a little too clingy for my liking.


I'm not burning as much as I used to on the elliptical. Its frustrating but I knew it would happen one day. Geez, I've been doing it for 6 months. I really hope my shoes are there when I get home today. Its turning into a BEAUTIFUL day today and I feel like going to the park.

Aw, thanks guys! Even tho I was 'the biggest loser' I am 214(???) today? I'm NOT updating my ticker, but I'm 2 lbs less than yesterday.. didn't overeat yesterday either... what ever..
