    Good Morning Ladies! I am excited to report a loss, only one pound, but it is a loss and I am pleased. Especially since I have been over on my calories on Sat, Sun, and Mon. And I didn't get in a whole lot of exercise. I was unable to make it to the gym yesterday and we too exhausted to do Wii at home. My uncle passed away early yesterday morning so I was running around all day yesterday trying to ready us for the trip. It is a sad time and I am trying not to let emotional eating grab me here. We will be heading to TN tomorrow for the funeral, so long car trip. I already bought lots of fresh fruits and veggies so we can eat that on the way instead of gas station foder. I don't know how much I will be able to be on here this week, though I will make every effort. I am going to carry my paper food journal just in case I cannot access the one online. It is a bit more difficult since it doesn't have a database, but it will at least help to hold me accountable.

    I am not sure if this counts as a love or not, but today I am honored to have been asked to sing one of my uncle's favorite songs at his funeral. It will be difficult to make it through, but I am honored to get the chance.

    Have a fabulous day ladies!

    Also, AmyLou- great job!

    Cathy- will be praying for you and your surgery today.

JUNK FOOD... erg... so now I am back up to 150.0 but i think most of it is water weight (I didn't drink hardly any water, didn't work out, and ate lots of salty junk)... i wasn't that over in calories but sodium... YIKES! this weekend was a good lesson as always and i am going to get right back on track! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: WATER WATER WATER for me today! and if i think about it I am actually down 0.2lbs from last tuesday... so that is positive :happy: anyways ladies... have a great day!!!!

    I love these haukus! :laugh: Please keep them coming!!



    I'll be checking in later today after the gym this afternoon. I do not expect to see a loss; I actually expect to see an increase. Had a mini-binge last night. I eat my emotions... when they are out of control, so is my eating. Continuing to talk with husband about how to make him a better person and happy again (he's been in a depression for at least 5 years) and how to move forward to dissolve our marriage. Slow progress, but progress. Hopefully this will help me in taking control back over my emotions and eating. I'm working in "one day at a time" mode. :smile:

    Good morning everyone. No time to post today - two appointments for Leith that I'm nervous about. Paed dentist and doctor (hopefully) as he's suddenly extremely swollen "down there" :cry:

    I'm down another 0.4 from yesterday to come in at an even 168.0lbs. Only 3 more lbs until my goal. Hopefully I can make it!

    Great work ladies!!!! I'm down another 1 lb this week to 234. This week my goal is to drin 4 glasses of water each day. I'm really having a hard time with the water thing. I thin that if I make myself drink a glass of water between every drink I have it will work. Wish me luck!

  • congrats katy! :flowerforyou: less than 4 to go!!! wow! :bigsmile:

    forgot my :heart: for the day. I love that despite my horrible weekend I am more motivated than ever to have a GREAT week and get back down to 147 by next weigh in!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    haukus are great :flowerforyou: made my morning :bigsmile: :laugh:

    anyways I need some advice ladies and I figured you gals would be able to help with this one :smile: so... the BF and I have been dating seriously for 3 years... and we are starting to talk about moving in together... which is great, exciting, wonderful... BUT i am so OCD about my apt.... food ... etc... that i think he may drive me crazy.... I love him to death but really do you have to leave your stuff allllll over the place, and those are NOT groceries... (this is an example of his grocery list: pringles, ice cream, pizza, etc)... granted he is in GREAT shape and eats lots of healthy food along with his share of JUNK.... and I know it is my decision to eat it, but having that stuff in the house really kills me... this weekend alone i put on 3lbs... what will happen if we live together???? yikes. he is all for my healthly life style but he thinks that i look great and can't figure out why i want to loose weight.... sorry for this rant i am just frusterated about this weekend and how it may translate into my full-time routine... i worry that my food/weight frustrations will cause arguments between us that we never had before and i don't want to put myself in a position that i can't deal with right now.... :ohwell: :flowerforyou: sooo... how do you ladies deal with diet differences in the home?????

    Pedal, oh no! I'll keep the little one in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know an update. :heart:

    Tessa, I think your plan is a great one. I use to force myself to chug a cup (8 oz) of water between each glass of 'other drink' I was having. It was helpful to get my water in, for sure! :drinker:

    1. It's a challenge for you. A real life challenge. Build yourself up to it. You can do it. Make him have his own cabinet for his junk food. Outta sight outta mind. His frozen foods can be hidden by a brown paper bag. Those bad foods can be sequestered from general population. :smile:
    2. Explain to him that it's a condition of the move in.... You need his support on your healthy eating and weight loss, regardless of how he thinks you look. Your self worth is not (solely, at least) based on his thoughts of you, and this is something you are doing for yourself. Communication, communication, communication.

    Just my two cents. :flowerforyou:

    Good Morning,

    Well I am down from last week ( sorry, I must have forgot to change my ticker last week), but up from my starting weight. Not as bad as I thought though. I have moments during the day where I tell myself I am really going to get with the program, but then I get caught up in the moment and before I realize what time it is, the day is over. .:grumble: I'm not too happy with myself at the moment. :grumble: I swear I will do this.

    Pedal, Your doing great and yes you can reach your goal. :happy:

    Katy,You have come a long way girl. Kudos.

    Amylou, Woo hoo down 2 yea!!!

    Cathy, Wish you good luck in surgery today and a speedy recovery.:flowerforyou:

    Katie, Sorry to hear about your uncle and you must have a lovely voice to be asked to sing at the funeral. Good job on the 1 pound loss too.

    Strawberryblonde, I've also had days like that too; I've weighed in the next day and been amazed I could be down so much in one day. It will work itself out.

    Lauryn, You really are going through a very difficult time and taking it one day at a time is probably a good strategy. Hang in there.:flowerforyou:

  • Lauryn. thanks... I think i will chat with him @ lunch today (he wanted to bring me lunch, and go for a walk... so we will see what he shows up with (probably a big mac:grumble: :laugh: ) so sweet, but what I want 'a big mac' and what i really want 'a healthy lunch' are still a bit confusing to him:flowerforyou: i know we can make it work and it will be great it is just soooo hard for him to understand how difficult it is for me to stay on a healthy path and that unlike him (who can eat ANYTHING and look great) I have to work at it :smile: anyways thanks for the advice Lauryn!!!! :flowerforyou: I needed to vent :blushing: :drinker:

    ...still drinking LOTS of water ....:drinker: i think i have had to pee about 10 times already!:laugh: :drinker: people @ work are going to start to wonder! :laugh: :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Hey, just wanted to pop in so that I can come back later. I have a little one home today from school with a stomach bug. Hoping it is of the 24 hour kind! I , myself, have a quisey(sp?) stomach. No weigh in but I will be back later for more personals. Lots to read about!

    Have a good day!

    Hello all. I know I haven't been on here regularly, but been pretty busy or lazy. I'm just in a blah mood ever since my period started and I haven't been able to pick myself back up yet. I'm glad to see everyone doing such a wonderful job. Keep it up. I'm hoping to get back in the groove soon. At least I'm still hovering around the same weight. I weighed in .5 more, no biggy.

    Just to let you know Mom's surgery went well. Don't know if she'll be on tonight because she woke up in a lot of pain from them blowing her belly up with air. She has 131 gall stones in her gall bladder, no wonder they needed to take it out.

    Well, hope everyone has a wonderful night tonight. Later.

    Thanks for updating us, Shanell. Glad to hear she is doing well. I hope things look up for you soon. I know those blah moments, days, weeks, years. You are doing good, girlie. Don't lose motivation now.

    Thanks all for your kind words. We head out tomorrow for TN and are supposed to run into loads of ice on our way down, so please keep us in your prayers.

    Have a great night ladies.

    it's 11 pm my time (east coast). just now woke up. been sleeping since noon. i skimmed over posts to see if shanell posted. yes, lots of stones. still in pain. just took another pain pill. should put me back out here in a few. they said to walk around to help get the gas out. son just told me that when the doctor started to take it out in just started falling apart and he was rushing to get it out and mop up all the bile that was leaking. said it was close to exploding. all doctors didn't realize how bad it was...glad this thing is out.
    well, off to walk a little more again. on clear fluids 24 hrs. than back to bed.
    later......

    Well glad to hear it all went well! Hope you feel like yourself soon! Good thing you were on top of things and went to the doc to get that checked on!

    Get well soon! Take it easy! Let your wonderful family wait on you hand and foot! I am sure they planned on it anyways!

    Hey Sixers!

    Cathy- glad you are doing well. Rest well
    Rhiannon- I hope your son's visits went well. :)
    Amy lou- proud of your losses

    To everyone else.... hope you continue to stay focused on your main goals. Being healthy and weight loss.

    :heart: my love for today- I love that I didn't panic today. I was the only doctor in the office and everything ran smoothly. Just day two. I guess one day of training. LOL. No complaints. I must apologize. I dont have a scale. I will weigh when I find one. I am doing workouts daily though.

    Tamm, Leith's appointment has caused a very stressful day for me :cry: He needs to have all 4 of his front top teeth capped and 4 1st molars filled. Mineralization that shows they won't last for their life span. Intramuscular sedation (SO nervous about this... are you able to tell me anything about how "out" a person is under this?) and very nervous about the aesthetic of his teeth after. I ADORE his front teeth - one of my favourite features of his face. I love their shape and I'm so worried he'll look different. It's been a really really hard day :cry:

    More later..

    So sorry about your stressful day, Rhiannon. I hate that the poor little man has to go through that. I really hope you have a better day today.

    Tamm-good for you continuing on with your workouts. Well done! And awesome that you didn't collapse under pressure and stress yesterday. WTG!

    I am headed to the gym, ladies. More personals later.

    Cathy, glad you're doing okay but sorry you're not feeling well! Good thing they got that out of you!!!

    Oh ladies, BAD day today and yesterday evening. Didn't get to the gym last night (Leith was really upset after his poking and prodding yesterday and he just needed me) and today I've totally medicated my emotions with food (copious amounts of chocolate to be precise) and retail therapy. The retail therapy part kind of brought my emotions back to a positive place after my binge though which is nice. Once again I bought clothes I can fit now but are snug so that they'll last. The jeans I would have bought smaller but they didn't have the same style so I just bought ones that fit right now but they're a size 29 which I can't wrap my head around! And they're comfortable and non-muffin-top :laugh: There was a huge sidewalk sale. Do you guys remember when I bought all those clothes a while back and it was $223 worth of clothes for $37? Well today I did not quite that well but still very well! I got the jeans, 3 tank tops, a pink cable-knit v-neck sweater, a beige cowl neck sweater with a big wooden button, a hip-length button-up really light weight sweater with a waist tie (something I've NEVER owned before because I didn't have a "waist" around which to tie it!) and a scoup necked black shirt with a tie at the front of the collar. Add on a dress for my daughter (for dress-up right now) and it all came in under $68!!! :noway: :bigsmile: :glasses: The shirts were all either mediums or larges that looked like they were a smaller cut. I'm still not even a LITTLE bit used to the idea that I can go into these mainstream stores and try things on that fit like they're supposed to and look nice, but to get mediums and pants that aren't even close to the biggest size in the store... what a buzz!
    So I've had only 3 cups of water today, hundreds and hundreds more calories than I meant to by this time, and very poor quality calories at that but I absolutely know how to get past one crappy day and not let it get to me and I realize that I'm feeling incredibly sad about yesterday, food didn't fix it, and one day won't kill me.

    Slow times around here! Are we losing people?? I hope not :heart:

    My love for today is that I have a great relationship with my Nana. I just got skype and we talked today. But we talk several times a week because I make it happen. :heart:

    I'll be back later but not tomorrow. It's Leiths SECOND birthday tomorrow!!! :heart: :heart: :heart: We're going to have SO much fun!

    Hey Rhiannon,

    Let me help you w/ Leith's situation. Unfortunately, primary teeth (baby) have less minerals in each layer. So if at any time the mouth's bacteria levels and sugars get to high it is easy to break day. I don't know his age but by 6 his 1st adult tooth will come in too. So, first things first, we MUST figure out what may be causing him to have such breakdown so soon. Does he drink bottle water only? Or how about did he ever drink juice before sleeping or milk for that matter? This can be the first step to baby teeth breakdown. Milk and juice before bed or in a bottle can decay the teeth.

    The doctors want him to be under anesthesia so they can get it all done at one time, instead of constant long visits at the dentist. He will be out, but not too long. They have great monitoring systems. He will be fine. I will pray for you two. He's mouth may be a little sore at first but the mouth has the fastest healing tissue in the whole body. IM is better than IV. Works better on kids. :) Luckily, he will lose those teeth and the battle becomes the fight to keep his permanent teeth healthy. Oral hygiene can be repaired by first learning what is needed. Ask them for fluoride supplements or a rinse for him every night. This will help slow the process on his other teeth. Also, get sealants on his permanent teeth as soooooon as they erupt. :)

    Take care Girlie.

    Hope everyone else is well. :) Miss you all. Work is going well. I actually did some stainless steel crowns today on some kids. They just make sure the kids tooth will last long enough to hold the space for the permanent teeth. Oh yeah, Rhiannon, are they giving him the tooth colored front teeth. They can offer that.


    :heart: I hope this helped.
