The scales have totally stopped moving for me???)
I would really like to be in the 130's by Thanksgiving. Just saying!!!

Hello, everyone! Just popping in for a minute. I'm sorry I'm so absent! I'd like to get back on track with stopping in every day after the end of this quarter of school. I have finals at the end of the month and the first week of September, so hopefully after that I'll get on a good schedule again.

Esther, I'm so sorry for your loss. It is a very hard thing to deal with.

I hope everyone is doing well and feeling good! I'm being very lax lately with food and am taking the week off from exercise. We got back from a long weekend in Gatlinburg on Monday night, and I have so much homework to do I'd rather use that hour for exercise elsewhere this week. But next week is back to sweating with Tony and P90X.

We closed on our house yesterday!! And we will get the keys on Saturday. I went ahead and packed up most of the towels and will go ahead and take the abundance of liquid hand soaps I seem to have collected, and take those over with us on Saturday to put them in their places. I'm so glad we have 2 months to move everything over. I have so many things.

Signing off for now, I'll poke my head in again as soon as possible. I don't know if I'll get to read all the posts, but I will always try to skim them.

Have a lovely Thursday, ladies!

Great news on the house Rachel - congratulations

hi all!!

hope everyone is good!! It is my daughters 15th bday today and my son is coming home this afternoon!! lots of eating:)

Rachel, so good to see you!! good luck with school!

Shirley, enjoy your vacation!!

Connie, glad the scale is looking good! mine has just been the same so I had a bit of a cheat yesterday so hopefully, it will move things along. it was good and I actually enjoyed it! I don't really get this restoring your sugars and upping your carbs for a day once a week?

Faye, all for mini goals! I would love to lose 5 lbs by sept. 8 but I lose so slowly:( I will try for that as well! I like having a mini goal!

well I'm making my daughter an ooey gooey apple pancake for breakfast! she is at the high school already trying out for field hockey. was up a lb this morning but setting my sights to be down 5lbs. by September 8th:)

have a great day everyone!!

Good Morning Misfits,
It's hot but less humid and that makes things better.
Not too much on my agenda today!!!
Have a good day.

Hi gang.

Shirley ........ Yes the reaction to the chlorine happens daily. But this week the chlorine level has been getting higher and higher. Yesterday I was in the water 10 seconds and my legs were slimy from the chlorine being so high. I have tried cortisone cream. It doesn't really help me any. The oatmeal baths I have down int he past. But last night I took hand scrub (the salt scrub for dry skin stuff) and scrubbed my entire body with it including me face just to get the outer layer of chlorine off me.

Rach ........ So glad to hear you finally closed on the house!!!!!! Believe me those 2 months will fly by so fast!!!!!

And thank you all for the condolences. Ginger is laid next to her father in the back yard.

Esther

Thank you for the comments on our house, everyone. Barbie, this will be the first time we've had the luxury of more than 2-3 days to move. Luckily we won't have to worry about that again for several years now.
Esther, the time will definitely fly! I'll be out of school for most of the first week of September, and the second week, we'll be moving things over and getting them set up, and I'll also be doing a yard sale with my sister. After that, school will start up again and before I know it it'll be October, and then suddenly Halloween will sneak up on me and remind me I have 7 days left to vacate the apartment! Haha. One and a half more days before we get the keys, yay!!

Have a wonderful Friday, everyone! I hope you all have a good weekend planned.

-Rachel

Connie - hope the knee feels better and we are not as young we used to be

Esther - So glad your salt scrub helped you and relieved some of the itching. I'd think twice about going back
to the pool, you are definitely allergic to the chlorine.

Marie - I am with you on believing in yourself. We can do this and will !!

Rachel - Lots of luck on the new house and nice to have such a long time for moving.

Well I got in my hubby's car this morning to go to Yoga class and the battery was dead. I vacuumed out his car
yesterday and he thought I had left some lights on. Nope, just had the doors open. He said the lights go out
by themselves anyway. Now he is purchasing a new battery which has to be put in today.

We have our club party at the sailing club tomorrow which is called Corn Roast. Always a good time and it is catered for food.
We will sleep on the boat that night and get up early and get my MIL and then head up to the cottage. I will start
some packing today. I may go and see the hairdresser for a trim on my bangs. I have wait another week and half
before I get my hair cut again.

Shirley

Today I have 2 non scale victories to report, a few months ago I bought some long shorts that didnt fit, I put a pair on yesterday and wore them and today I wore the other pair, its good to see changes, however I am in the 170's, and hopefully I will not go in the 180's again.I stayed in them along time and for months I kept going back in them. It made me feel I still am going in the right direction. Janice

Good Morning,
Connie, No rain since July 4th!!! Our neighbors who don't have sprinkler systems have grass that
is brown!!!! Towns around us have limited water usage and burn bands in place.
We begin to have a chance of rain starting tomorrow.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Nancy

hi all!!

sorry I haven't been around but it has been kind of busy with my kids coming home, my daughters bday and back to school stuff. all is good but I have been eating too much or maybe just some of the wrong stuff. it has been hard to keep on my schedule and routine, tracking challenging when eating out so much. I was up a lb this morning:( I know this is life and I shouldn't let the scale define me. I don't know about you guys but it is difficult for me to get back on the wagon sometimes, I prefer to stick to routine!!

hope everyone is well!!

great about the shorts Janice!!

connie, how is the reset going?

marie, I always eat lunch at 2:) maybe because I eat 6 times a day!

Shirley, have fun on your trip!!

nancy, how are you?

hi to everyone else!! ester, faye, Rachel, Barbie

Stephanie

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Sunday!

Marie..yes, my husband is retired, too. He retired a year before I did. Good for Alice getting back on track and your savings on a new air conditioner! Sounds like you are loving those kitties!

Steph..the reset is going great for now. The scale has been in my favor. Hope to lose the remainder of what I gained this week.

Just returned from church so need to get some sweet potatoes going for the week. They are my carb staple these days.
I'll check back later.

Stay strong, losers!
Connie
