*hugs* Rach - Keep us posted. We are here for you.

great job everyone!! I showed a nice loss yesterday morning, than ate AWFUL afterwards. This morning I'm showing being back up... but i'm gonna make it come back off! and drink tons of water!!!!!!!!

I think you're the first person in a long time that I've congratulated for not being pregnant after spending a ton of time with women who are all trying. lol I'm glad you got the answer you were looking for.

Girls, we've all done amazing! Even those of us who gained or didn't lose, it's okay to have a life.

Welcome to all the new pin-ups! This is truly a great group of girls. I hope you enjoy it here.

Rach--I hope everything works out for you. It sounds like you're going through a lot right now, but you seem to be keeping positive. And that's awesome. Thanks so much for doing this for all of us. And I'll miss all your posts throughout the day! Stupid bosses.

As for me, I've got a lot going on by way of school work this week. And I guess it should be a priority. But it's just not. This is my last semester, so I'm done in December, and I am just so apathetic about school right now. My top priority remains my health. Proper eating and exercising is coming in at #1, regardless of how much work I have to do. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but it helps that I'm not stressed about the work--possibly as a result of my health! I don't doubt that I'll get everything done, I'm just refusing to give it my utmost attention. I so look forward to having a job, and a family to come home to without bringing any work with me. I want work to be work and home to be home.

I want to feel settled and happy with my present instead of always looking to the future. I've never been completely satisfied with where I am in the moment, so maybe my weightloss will help with this a little.

Thanks everyone for your continued motivation!

Chart looks good to me. Thanks for posting it!

Feeling awful and just chillin' out till this funk passes.

PMDD can suck my big toe!

Grr I'm having a pretty crap week too! I've got a lump in my breast that I'm waiting for a 2nd appt for with the doctor, then my grandad passed away on Sat, brand new washing machine broke down so can't do any washing before holiday, but now we can't even go on holiday because we only have £30 quid to last us until payday (26/10)! So feeling pretty crap and down and just want to eat lots of naughty things, but can't because then I know I'll feel worse about myself. So we'll probably end up staying at home all next week..

Hope everything gets sorted out for you Rach!

Wow it looks like everyone is having a pretty hectic week! I hope that all your problems get sorted, and that everyone gets the end to the week that they deserve - you're all working so hard!

I have a review with a trainer at my gym tonight, who used to help me out with my weight training program. Haven't lifted weights properly since July so he is gonna Kick. My. Butt.

If I can lift my hands to my laptop later tonight I'll come back and tell you how it went!!

Good morning pinups! I start the second half of my curves challenge so I'm hoping all goes well. And I'm hoping I lose 16 to 20lbs more! (we'll see how that goes lol) fingers crossed. Cause this first month was definitely a big struggle. Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Man I had a bad day yesterday.. I ate 3 slices of pizza ..My husband convinced me to get a lg. pep. and I had three.. oh well live and learn today is a new day right??


Thanks for adding me to the chart... good luck with the self discovery.. I am always here to listen to anyone.. Hope you all have an awesome day

Wow, I see I'm not the only one having a crazy week! :noway:

So my saga began on Sunday afternoon, when I checked my email to find out that my soon-to-be-roomie decided she didn't think the place we were planning on moving into was worth that much.......after I'd turned in an $87.50 money order (of MY money!) the day before to hold the place.... :explode: She said she looked at the pictures I'd sent her (3 DAYS BEFORE!!) and thought the full bath was so small and there was hardly any real yard in the yard area, and she just didn't think it was worth $1300 a month. :mad: This is Boulder, honey, not Iowa. A 2bed/1.5bath townhome with fenced in yard and w/d, that allows you to have your stupid little half-a-dog, is a STEAL at $1300 a month, no matter how small some areas may be!!!

Luckily, the woman in the office who'd been working with me was REALLY cool. She hadn't deposited the money order yet, so she said I could come by and pick it up, and she would just make a note that we never dropped off a deposit and changed our minds. Of course, that meant leaving work early (at the start of my 2nd week in my new position) and HAULING it home and then to the office to get it before they closed at 5pm. So all's well that ends well, I guess, but now I'm looking for a new roomie... :grumble:

Bonus, I still got my run in that night! :glasses:

My thoughts and prayers go out to all my fellow Pin-ups that are having difficulties this week, in whatever areas of your life.

malpal - Great new photo of you!

Ladies I just ran my first non stop 5 km since my injury today at lunch. What a great feeling, it took me 34:53 on the TM. My hip flexor is twinging a little but I was sure to stretch it good.

This is a non scale victory for me.

cathcakey - You go girl! Deadlifting 100 kg that's 220 lbs! Enjoy your dinner you sure earned it with that workout!

Hey there everyone!! My name is Jenn. May I join your group??? You all seem fun and supportive, and that is always nice. I struggle with emotional eating, and being bipolar, that can come around a lot, so I like being able to post when I am struggling and need an extra boost of support I am currently at 185 lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want. We could all use more friends :)
