Sorry I'm so late in starting this thread. It's been a zoo already this morning, and I'm on mountain time, sorry.
So here's to a new week, thank God. I thought it would never get here.
Foxy Loxy -- same. She's still getting over being sick:sick:
Me -- same. I thought I'd gain with the stress of the mother-in-law:laugh: No Excuses! On to a new week!!!!:bigsmile:

I am down three pounds!!! One more to go before I have lost 2-0!!!!!
HOORAY!!:drinker:0 -
Good morning everyone! I hope you had as much fun this past weekend as I did! My friend from out of town came to visit, which meant eating and drinking (alcohol treats). So...the bad news is that I didn't lose any weight this week, but the good news is that I managed to maintain.
I'm back on the straight and narrow this week. 0 -
.I am down three pounds!!! One more to go before I have lost 2-0!!!!!
HOORAY!!:drinker:
Congrats!!!! :drinker: Keep up the good work0 -
Wow, we're on week 4 already! Congrats to all of us for sticking with this group! I
this group!
Can't weigh in today as I am at home sick. I weigh in at work on Tuesdays so it will have to wait until tomorrow if and WHEN I get back to myself. I sometimes wish I owned a scale at home but I know I would be on that thing every single day (obsessive much?). How do you guys handle the scale (those of you who own one?). I've heard people who say they like that they weigh every day - keeps them accountable, but I'm afraid that the number would just consume me.0 -
cant believe its been a month congrats to all on the with the weight loss and/or the mainting dont think mainting is bad it means u didnt gain. so i just took my 30 minute walk with my mother today and then i weighed in:
1 and 1/2 pounds lost (although it records as one which is fine better less than more so i dont cheat my weight loss) :drinker:
i will admit i was a little dissapointed i wanted to reach ten pounds for the month and then i thought that may not be realistic but if i can get another 2 then wow. i think i was mostly dissapointed because i worked extra hard this week more than the last three (more walking more time and stuff)
but then i told myself duh thats another pound off my body i wont ever see again, be happy i earned that pound.
So one pound lost and 7 total so far for the tortoise who is gonna win this race :bigsmile:0 -
Pep, I LOVE your new picture! The last one looked so sad. Hooray for your weight loss!!! Congrats sweetie!0

I've lost 3 pounds since last Tuesday... Yippeeeeeee!!! The only bad news that I have to report today is that I hurt my right shoulder playing volleyball last night. It didn't start to bother me until late last evening, and then this morning getting dressed started to feel painful. Hopefully I just tweaked it a little and it will get better soon-I have Core Synergistics today, and I need that shoulder.
Great news-my husband is coming home today!!! His plane was delayed 36 hours, so instead of getting here yesterday he flew in this morning. He'll be home (hopefully) before noon!!!:bigsmile:0 -
thank you soooo much lucky thats so sweet and thanks for the praise it means a lot. yes new pic for new attitude maybe ill do it monthly and by the time these pounds are completly off ill be grinning so wide ill look like the joker :bigsmile:I've lost 3 pounds since last Tuesday...

so happy for you must be in heaven about your husband (where was he stationed? how long is he back for?) congrats on the 3 pounds you must share your secrets lol ok as for the shoulder dont over do excerice like focus on cardio or legs one week of not doing arms wont kill you and its a lot better then hurting it further (god i miss volleyball havent played in years)
i think i got my 30 day shred today but i have a paper due later tonight and have made a decision not to open it until i finish my paper as a reward...unfortunetly if it is my dvd i cant do it tonight seeing as i dont get out of class until 9 ish and home until 10:30 maybe tom ill do bonus excercise and do it (if it is my dvd lol)
hope everyone is well :drinker:0 -
I am down 3 lbs. I am down from 205 last week to 202! I am so ready to be under the big 200. I just can't wait. Then the trick is keeping it off. I also am only 1 lb away from the big 20 lbs lost. I am just so happy with my progress! Congrats to everyone! This group is great. I think of you all as my friends in the computer. Pep your new picture is great! Miss Resa congrats that your hubby is home!0

Wow, this group is amazing! Congrats LuckyLeprechaun--20 pounds is quite a milestone. SOOOO jealous!
I'm down about a pound. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts about snacking in the evening--it has helped soo incredibly much! I have more willpower than I thought. I have been trying to keep the tv from telling me when to go to bed and stop eating--these past few days have been extremely successful. Thanks! This is such a supportive group--I love it.0 -
I didn't lose anything this week. :grumble:
YAY for those of you who did!! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:0 -
Hey ladies.....Seems like we're doing pretty good staying together! Congrats to the ones that have lost. a zero weight loss is better than a positive gain! My check in as of this morning was down 2 lbs from last week. I am getitng back into my P90X and I know it's a lofty goal but I am hoping to be down 5lbs next week. I plan on working out like crazy ( I gotta make up for the week I took off to start my competition)! Hope every has a good food and excerise week!0

You know what might be a good idea...if we all post pics of what we look like now, or some kind of current pic. That way in a couple of months we can all look back and laugh at how we used to look! Anyone else wanna do it?0

well since this is a pic of me today (what do we think since i did it for all of you - and smiling) im game but i can make it just one of the two (is that ok???) smart idea before and after (scary) we arent doing full body are we even scarier :sick: But i am game if everyone else is.0 -
I'm so proud of everyone! I can't wait to get on with this new week. I've really surprised myself at how upbeat I still am. Normally I'd be cryin in my beer about not losing any, but I'm just ready to start new. I guess the pep talk about no excuses helped. Oh wait, you thought I said all that for the group? No, silly:bigsmile: apparently I needed to hear it the most. Plus tomorrow I should get my 30 day Shred in the mail. I'm so excited. Weird I know, I never would have been excited to get my butt kicked, but now I am. I'll let you know how it goes
I guess if ya'll really want to I'll post a pic too. Do we have to do full body? That could be too much of a slap to the face!?!? Whatever:ohwell:
Yes Pepamint, the pics you have up are fabulous darling 0 -
Part of the P90X program I'm doing includes taking before pictures, 1 month pics, 2 month pics, and then your 90 day pics. I've been too much of a chicken to do it, because I really am afraid of what I look like in a photo right now. I guess if everyone else is brave enough to do it, then I can get motivated and start that camera rolling... I can put it on a disk and hide it from everyone who knows me in town, right? Maybe I should come up with an alias and say that I live in another state. That way I can deny it's me if I am ever recognized by some freak chance:bigsmile:0

I have day 1 pictures and 1 month pictures up. I was brave enough to post them here cause I thought it might keep in motivated. I am even showing all my skin which I never do. Funny story along with my pictures. I had intended no one to see them. I was uploading all my pics to shutterfly so my family could order them. I accidentilly uploaded the ones of me, I was so embarresed when my Grandma called and was like what are these for? You can do it! You should so that you can compare the results. It is so rewarding. Have you ever seen shows or magazines where they say this picture is me 30lbs less than my heaviest weight. Well I am sure they had no recent pictures and that is a shame that they cant see the full results of there weight loss in pictures.Part of the P90X program I'm doing includes taking before pictures, 1 month pics, 2 month pics, and then your 90 day pics.

By the way everyone, I hit the big 20 today!!!!!!!!!! However AF came about 5 days early today and I am hoping that doesn't mess me up. I will be so sad to go back up even if I know I will go down after.0

You can do it however you feel comfortable. I don't want to make anyone feel out of place. It's one of things that we have to do for the P90X and I took my 30 days pics at the end of Jan. When my wife and I were looking at them it was a really good feeling when she told me how proud of me she was for sticking with my new lifestyle change. Now it wasn't a HUGE change....but you can see a big difference in my shoulders and my love handles. Seeing those kind of changes help keep me going and remind me of why I'm trying to do what I am doing. I might get brave and post my P90X Pics....I don't really know if I want to do that to you guys though....you might not need you eyes anymore if you look at them! LOL!0

Just bumping us back to the 1st page.0

I havent * cough* been here for awhile.
i lost 1.5 pounds.
hehe? 0 -
Pepamint I love your new photo! As for posting recent pictures, I'm for it I guess - the profile pic of me & my man and a coworker was taken Jan 17 but really, those self portraits can make you look thinner - I think my face looks thinner than normal. I have another one from the same night of just me and my guy and that's more like what my face looks like right now. As for a full body one... that's probably a smart idea, just a hard step to take. I should though. Get one of those bikinis in my drawer out and take a "before" (I'm only 3 lbs in right now, so it's not too late I don't think) and then in June/July when hopefully I'm at my real target weight I'll take an "after" and be proud to show off both photos to see how far I've come!
Anyway, I will if you will! 0 -
Well, my pic is recent (Jan) and unfortunately, it's almost full body!! :noway: LOL!! So, c'mon...I already did it...ya'all can too!!
irreligiouspiety07-Congrats on the weight loss :drinker:
To the rest of the TEAM....WAY TO GO!! :flowerforyou:0 -
The pics that I have posted include one of me and my mom. That is actually a pretty good one, because it is me at my absolute heaviest... But I plan on taking some tonight (after my husband is in bed, away from me, not paying attention, locking the door, ha-ha) before I work out. I think it would be good to get a couple of me wearing a pair of gym shorts and a close-fitting top. I'm not brave enough to show the girls in a sports bra just yet... :noway:0

thanks everyone for the support about the picture :blushing: as for taking a full body shot dont know if im up for that just cause im so embarassed (although i got more compliments today so maybe lol :bigsmile: ) i am so noticing differences already and with all the salt and my "friend" on its weigh my face/body isnt as bad as usual but we shall see maybe it will be better on the scale....i must say i think ive figured out my angels cause i dont have a double chin in this photo and my cheeks look smaller (also why i dont smile and dont have a full body photo up but i have them so maybe when i am thinner i will post before and after photos) hey mister thats great ur noticing differences u gonna be brave to and post a photo of your face lol? :laugh: missresa i completly understand the girls part when i watch the biggest loser i cant help thinking how brave those women are
anyway does everyone have off tomorrow i do and have made a commitement with my mother (who hasnt been feeling well but im gonna nag her to come back onto this group) to take a walk tomorrow for possibly an hour like sun (a bonus day since usually im at my internship thurs) also gonna finally try the 30 day shred.... what is everyone else gonna do?0 -
Well it is today for me now. I am going to try this new circuit class they are holding at the gym. I really have wanted to try it but it is at a weird time. So we will see. I am best if I go to the gym at like 8:15 right after I take my oldest to school. That way no excuses. Also ladies I must tell you that I had no problem putting my girls in a sports bra but looking at how fat my stomach was and I looked like a 9 months pregnant woman when I had my baby 8 months ago. That was the part that I had trouble with. I will tell you though I took a full body shot in sports bra and panies. I did like so I could see every part. If you look on my profile just in one month you can tell a difference. Especially in the side view. I am not brave enough to put it as me profile pic but you all are more than welcome to view them. I trust you all and we are all going through the same thing. Crazy thing is I trust you all more than I would want to show the picture to my husband. I know strange right? Anyway have a great day! I am sure I will be back cause I am a loser and have no life.thanks everyone for the support about the picture :blushing: as for taking a full body shot dont know if im up for that just cause im so embarassed (although i got more compliments today so maybe lol :bigsmile: ) i am so noticing differences already and with all the salt and my "friend" on its weigh my face/body isnt as bad as usual but we shall see maybe it will be better on the scale....i must say i think ive figured out my angels cause i dont have a double chin in this photo and my cheeks look smaller (also why i dont smile and dont have a full body photo up but i have them so maybe when i am thinner i will post before and after photos) hey mister thats great ur noticing differences u gonna be brave to and post a photo of your face lol? :laugh: missresa i completly understand the girls part when i watch the biggest loser i cant help thinking how brave those women are
