T.H.E (Trying Hard Everyday) Team ~ WEEK 24~ Welcome!

Hey

I did good on the exercising today - burned 1407 calories. I broke it up in morning, afternoon and evening. Stayed within calories - had a few unhealthy choices but TOM is due in and had to have my CHOCOLATE. Still working on my water 24 more ounces in2 and 1/2 hours. Pretty sure I CAN DO THAT

Healthymom - thanks for still posting. I need those posts. And I agree summertime, people busy, need new motivation and what you said just makes sense. I hope people will stay though.

Cyndeebee - u take care girl. I am glad to hear you are going to the Doctor. I know what u mean about the least little bit setting you off though.

Buttonnose - You have to fight past that struggle. I am in the same boat right now and I know it is hard but we can get through it. It is at this time, I have to look at the long range picture of being much healthier and able to do more to get me through it.

Adopt4 - I hope you do not get sick. I have been sleeping with the windows wide open also and it gets cool but I so love it and to think it is only July

Hi, I have been snooping around your posts. swignal suggested I look into your team. You all seem so supportive and I would be interested in joining you all on this journey if you'll have me.

Happy Friday Team, I'm still wogging, and drinking H20 this week (+100oz). I'm gonna focus on logging every thing I eat. I'm terrible at logging, but thats okay cause this is a new week and a new beginning. Lost 2lbs yoohoo!...Zano

Hi everyone - remember me? What a slug I have been! And, no, I did not run off with the tailor!

Thanks to all of you for staying in touch with me. Its been an amazing blessing to get your all your PMs. So, in a nutshell, here is what I've been doing for the past month. Can't believe its been that long. Took a short vacation around the 4th and was out of town, then got back and work was crazy. Our fiscal year end is June 30, so we have the first couple of weeks in July to get everything in for billing and audit purposes. LONG couple of weeks. Then a family thing in Idaho - THEN a good friend's marriage blew up - really nasty, so I have been helping her get that sorted out. During all that, I managed to be off track most of the time. I gained a total of about ten pounds. That was another reason not to check in - though I know its really the best reason TO check in. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

Anyway, The past week or so has been MUCH better - and I am pleased to announce I have lost those ten pesky pounds (prolly mostly water gained due to not drinking enough water for a while there) and I have lost an additional couple of pounds, so I have finally broken the 100 pounds lost barrier. Boy, am I happy!

I haven't had a chance to catch up on all your posts, but am really glad to be back. Again, thank you for all the support. Its pretty humbling and you guys are great.

Love you all, Kristi

Good Morning

I would love to join this team...when i saw the name of it I thought...THATS ME:happy: :laugh:

Im Amelia, I turned 30 back in novemeber, got two wonderful childeren who are 4 & 7 and ive been married to a wonderful man for the past 8yrs.

Ive lost about 80lbs since starting this weightloss journey of mine back in the summer of 05'. It took me a little over a year to lose it but then the weightloss just STOPPED dead and eversince then ive been trying to lose this last bit of weight. So you could say that ive been on a three year plateau:noway: :grumble:
I found this site through my fitness site back in september of 08' and ive really enjoyed coming here. I do log my food everyday but i can't seem to get the scale to move. I would love to shed about 25lbs

I look forward to getting to know everyone:flowerforyou: You all seem like a very friendly bunch and very welcoming

First of all WELCOME PUNKA - YOU WILL LOVE THIS GROUP. Feel free to post whenever and say what is on your mind. We are here to support, help, and just talk, motivate and whatever. I am anxious to get to know you. You have done great on your journey - let see if we can get that scale to move.

Second of all - WELCOME BACK KRISTI AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 101 POUNDS LOST. THAT IS SUPER. I have missed you tremendously but didn't want to bug you. So I hope things are getting a little lighter for you at work and that you will be back posting more. By the way I took some pants to my tailor and I didn't get the same offer as you did from yours but I am kinda glad - my tailor is a woman. lol

Zano - way to go on the 2 pounds. has to be the water pushing it out of you. lol.

Buttonnose - that is not bad. might be water weight or from too much sodium. you will probably see that disappear real fast.

Manda1111 - doing the happy dance for you girl. I know you like seeing that scale move.

Nitag - I have a brain fart - not for sure what OCD means but you know you and your body. you got a plan in buying your food and eating healthy so you go girl. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family especially your dad. be careful as you travel

OK TEAM As I post this I really thought about not posting it cause of embarrassment and everything else. I will not make excuses and I will claim it. I ate Chinese twice this week and not healthy Chinese either. I have went over on sodium I know and I have ate chocolate also. I have not step on scale since last Friday and that is so wrong and not me. So I will be scale stepping this week. I am not going to change my ticker untill next Friday after I see what is water weight to sodium and TOM officially arrived today. That might be wrong but that is how I feel right now so I won't change it. Also I took 4 pair of capri's to the tailor's to be alter and told her half an inch on each side. Well she made me put them on and said she would be taking them up to two inches and one pair she would take up three. Last Sunday, I bought two pair of jeans one in a size 11 and the other in a size 33 - they were tight then but I can still get them on today and button them to so that is a good thing.My girl friend told me at her smallest she never got into a size 33. My bra I have to fasten it on the last notch. I am looking at the positiive a long with the negative. I am not pleased with myself, I am not going to beat myself up over it but I will get a handle on it. I have come this far and not GAIN ANY MORE BACK and have to relose it again. I had planned for some room at the end to play with but the time is not now. I am now back up to 28 pounds where I was down to 19.6 to lose. Don't sugar coat it for me either. It is bad and Lulu I need you to use that slipper. Kristi, your post also help me to post it. It is time like these we need to post it whether people read it or not

Goals today 94 ounces water - 32 done as of right now
burn 1400 - 1700 calories - lacking here but will get in time tonight after I work second job for 4 hours.
read and post twice a day to log accomplishments or just to touch base with people on here.

Thanks Team for listening and being there for me. I really am TRYING HARD EVERYDAY
