    Good Morning Pepper's,
    I still am 198, no gain, no loss. It is hard not to get upset. But there is nothing I can do now. I have not exercised this week at all.

    I may be ready to move forward but it has not worked in weeks. I am just trying to be possitive, because at this rate I can not loose what I should of before my doctors appointment.

    Crystal that is so great. You should be proud you are doing great. Keep it up.

    Magglett, nice work.

    Well I will try to do better this week. Today is very busy may not get to check back in.

    Have a great day.

    HI all

    Looks like I am the lone gainer this week....+ 2. to 187.4......gosh if I don't get serious I will be right where I was a year ago.....just kinda confused here these past few days and feeling a bit down. no appetite really, but so far has been clean today. I have a meet tomorrow, so will be gone all day again. Will pack later all my gear to be sure I am ready to walk it out...

    magglett ~ congrats on your loss! happy for ya!

    Crystal ~ 3 down, FIFTY-ONE point EIGHT GONE! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW! I am so proud of you girly! So, tell us about your new outfit! We wanna celebrate with you!! You are in control now, nothing gonna stop ya!

    Sindy ~ Well, you are not gaining at least. Sometimes we will plateau for a while...plus you have been sick. Are you eating the same amount of calories? What about changing up your exercise routine....diff time, diff activity? Try to look closely at what you are doing and see if you need to change something up a bit. Hang in there....I still feel with what you have lost so far and your consistent exercise, that your ol' Dr won't put you on meds. You have done so well, and I know you will do more!! Stay positive!!

    Jacque ~ I'll take them " 0's "! take care this weekend, get better hon!

    ittybitty ~ YAY, down 3! good for you! keep on keepin, you'll be to goal in no time!

    Miss V ~ 5 lbs gone, woot woot! nice job there sweets! take care of that tummy thing....

    well, gotta keep pluggin away here. laundry calling. have a nice Friday gang....just a little focus is all we need and we can do a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!!

    Morning Ladies:

    Chrystal awesome job .....

    Magglett good job on your weight loss

    Sindy good job on not gaining weight

    Jacque hope you feel better soon

    Kelly dont give up you will get this weight off .... keep your head up high and just keep plugging on .. YOU CAN DO IT GIRL

    Miss V congrats on losing 5 pounds

    If i forgot anyone soooooo sorry ... doing this by memory (which isnt the best i have at times) lol lol

    I excercised 180 minutes this week (its a start) now if i can just continue that i will be back strong with my motivation

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend
  • Crystal - Congrats on the weight lose!!::bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Jacque - I hope you get feeling better soon :flowerforyou: and congrats on not gaining.

    Magglet - nice job on the weight loss!:happy:

    Sindy - Congrats on not gaining.:smile: You will get back into your exercise routine before you know it.:wink::wink:

    I am weighing in this week at 208.8, which is up.8 from last week. I guess my candy bar binge on Saturday was not a good thing. I wish I had more self control when it comes to cravings. I exercised for 630 minutes this week in 4 days. So much for me getting in 6 days of exercise in. If I can't go to the gym I am not motivated to workout.:grumble: I have a Weight Watcher dvd, the Wii fit, Wii active, and a stationary bike at home to use when I can't get to the gym. I am going to again aim for 6 days of exercise this week. Because of the weather this week I missed 4 workouts this week. I guess I should be happy with only .8 gain. I hope you guys have a great day today! Happy Friday!:happy:

    HI Angie ~ hey, you * ARE * doing good! you must be near 1/2 way thru your pregnancy, or close. gosh, the time is going fast! and you are still pluggin away at the exercise! that is soo good for you and baby. that is one thing I wish I had done while being pregnant, was to exercise. I know it would have helped a lot during labor. do you know what you are having? lots of kickin going on? how special! I bet you are gettin pretty excited!!

    My exercise for the week was 3 days, so I didn't meet my 5 or 6, and was 240 minutes. Lots to improve there! Will shoot for 5 days again.
  • I am down to 145... my goal is far away i want to be 130.. 128.. what i was in high school!!
  • I am 18 weeks now. I hopefully will find out what the baby is Dec. 22, if the baby cooperates. I am excited but a little nervous too. I still haven't felt the baby kick but should soon. Since this is my first pregnancy, it may take me a little longer. I wish I could eat as well as I am exercising. I would probably would not have gained any weight during my pregnancy.:smile:
  • I am trying to get myself motivated to get on my wii fit. I am dragging my feet by putting around on the computer. Where is everyone? I am sure everyone else is busy with life. My weekends are usually very quite and lonely. This weekend is on different. Yeah! I did get one thing on my to do list done. I cleaned out my filing cabinet. Have a great night!:smile:

    a long day here.....up @ 4:45 to get ready for bus trip....on the road from 5:50 > 7:30, on the bleachers from 8:40 > 6:50...on the road again from 7:15 > 8:40..home at last 8:45. am tired. did not attempt my usual outdoor / bus trip walk as the roads are still snow packed and slippery. will get a good workout in tomorrow. dh in bed, oldest son snow boarding, and youngest is w/his gf. just trying to 'come down' from my road trip and have a decent nite's sleep. :yawn:

    angie.....cool an ultrasound! the imaging has improved 100 % since I had kids. you will be amazed by all that you can see of your lil darlin'! seems like the little 'fluttler' feelings started around 19 -21 weeks for me. diff for us all. i never know how my weekends are gonna be activity wise, unless i have a trip. i wish i had a notebook computer...i would take it with my on all my bus trips. sometimes i get bored and just being able to browse would help. glad you accomplished the filing cabinet task! i need to do that too....actually my entire 'computer' room needs a good deep cleaning...i can't believe all the junk mail we get in a week's time! ugh! think positive...your ticker says 16 lbs lost!! yay!

    well, gonna check the posts again and then add the updated chart. have a nice nite all and enjoy your Sunday. till then team! :heart:

    Hey everIyone,...
    Crystal - great job w/a 50+ lb weight loss.

    I did weigh in on Friday. now 169.2 It's a loss from the previous weigh in so I'll take it.
    Exercise wise, I did poorly. Work was very hectic that I didnt do my lunch time or end of day workouts. Only made it to curves once. Only 100 minutes exercise.

    I am attemping for more success this week.

    Dave's out of town for work and the kids are with their father this week. So it's a quiet house.... lovely quiet....

    Thanks everyone for the congrats!

    Well, I had a not so productive weekend weight loss-wise. I didn't make it to the gym, but I didn't do too awful on the food. I can't go to the gym tonight because we're hopefully getting our oven fixed and I'll need to be home for that. I think I'm going to run out a lunch and buy a workout DVD. I can do that at home while I'm waiting for him to show up. I need something to do on days I don't go to the gym anyway.

    I did manage to get all my christmas shopping finsihed. DH and I wrapped the presents that were ready. The rest are either being shipped or I have to make them. I'm making my nieces tied fleece blankets and my MIL (and probably Mom, too) some hand-made quilted ornaments. Most of that probably won't get done until Friday or later when I go on vacation.

    Kelly, the new outfit was a pair of jeans that actually fit (all my other jeans are 2 sizes too big) and a long tunic-style shirt with purple flowers and butterflies all over it. Very cute. I had several people at work comment on my weight loss that day. Probably because I was wearing clothes that fit!!!!

    Morning all :bigsmile:
    Hope that everyone is having a wonderful day! Today i become the dog lady:noway: and add 2 other dogs to my already 2 as i am watching them while their families go out of town:grumble: why am I always talked into this? I don't know, but noone in my house enjoys it...
    Had a busy weekend, and got some exercise in there, tummy is feeling a little better and I am working on getting this day over with! got up extra early to drive to the big town to take daughter to an eye check up , and there was snow. I am from the snow so i know how to drive in it, but that does not mean that others know how to :angry: I do not enjoy almost getting killed by the stupidity of non snow drivers:explode: It is not ok for people continue to go 35 on a non plowed road on a hairpin turn when i am going 15 and then fishtail into my lane and miss me by inches and laugh about it:explode: :angry: :explode: :angry: I swear! people are stupid and should not be let out of their houses sometimes!!!!
    Anyhow sorry for that but i had to get it out!
    Congrats on the skinny Crystal!
    Hope everyones monday rocks:)
    Sounds like kelly nd jacque stayed busy:)

    hey team~

    been busy here....went to a wake yesterday of a mom of some kids that used to ride my bus. 3 kids, 14, 17 and 20. mom had breast cancer about 5 yrs ago. thought she had ovarian cancer in Sept, so did hysterectomy and learned it was not there, but spread everywhrere else..... very sad. she was 44, a year older than me.

    went to the city today to shop, almost done...went to 8 stores and then had a hair cut...and this was all after a 2 hr 'ice' delay!

    but, i had some high fat foods eats, way too much, and now i don't know what is going on....i have about a 12 yr history of anxiety / panic attacks....and since about 4:30 pm or so i have had heart palp, L chest/arm discomfort, choking feeling/lump in my throat, slight nausea, lightheaded, tingling in L neck, jaw and face. NOW, i have had all of these symptoms in the past and 3 ER visits, and nothing is ever wrong with my heart. and back then I did have high cholesterol/trigs, and higher blood pressure. i am on chol meds now, and last checked 6 mos ago, everything was normal. anyway, i took 2 baby aspirin, and i already take one a day and a fish oil per my cardiologist b/c of bio mom having a 'bruie'/stent ( sp?). now in the last few minutes my L arm feels heavy and almost kinda numb....o what to do....

    my panic feelings usually come at this time of year, holiday stress, and driving, weather.... it could be nothing. and i have not exercised since LAST WEEK! but tomorrow I am going to call my dr and hope to get in. i just hate it when this happens. may have to go back on my Xanax 1/2 tab. geez, i have not had to take them in like 3 yrs. why is this happening?? oh, and i took my b/p and it was 138/84 which is high for me, usually 118/72. i wonder if your b/p goes up really high if you are having a heart attack? my past panic episodes usually occured b/c i was scaring myself, health wise, fear of dying of stroke, ha....lots of anxiety. i will take some more baby aspirin, a fish oil and my chol med b4 bed....hope to sleep decent.....

    well, sorry to post all that, and i hope i didn't scare anyone.....just trying to see if this will help me any.

    tomorrow i have bus trip....so i better be ok! that would be horrible to have a problem on the bus with kids! :frown:

    anyway, just wanted to check in and wish you guys all a good week! let's try really hard and go for a loss Friday! and if not, then just keep toning that body into a smaller you!

    Barb ~ enjoy the peace and quiet this week!

    Jacque ~ nice pic of you and tree! congrats on dd's win!

    Crystal ~yippy shopping done! the tied fleece blankets and quilted ornaments sound so neat! very talented you! woot woot smaller clothes!

    Miss V, aka dog sitter....I dread watching my parents dog as well...she has this screaming fit that sounds like a hyenna that drives me nuts. my parents think it is cute...NOT. i almost have her broke from doing it here...she knows i am boss! probably not a fun visit here for her since i keep her in my kitchen/dining on lanoleum...don't trust her yet. uh huh., them crazy drivers...need to slow their A$$e$ down! i am more worried bout the 'other' driver than i am myself! and i feel more comfortable in my bus than my own car. drive it so much and it is 6 tons! :bigsmile:

    nite all! :heart:

    Kelly, I hope everything is okay. I've heard that panic attacks can be very scarey. Just try to take one step at a time and focus on that step and not what comes after that. Keep us posted on how you're doing and what the doctor says.

    Yesterday I bought The Biggest Loser Boot Camp and did that after work. I burned almost as many calories doing that as I do my C25K! Bob kicked my tail!! Looks like I'll be doing it again tonight instead of hitting the gym. No one came to fix my oven last night so I'm really hoping that it gets fixed today. It has been over 2 weeks since I've had an oven. I'm getting a little frustrated.

    Kelly you better write on here today and tell us all that you are ok, you have my worried about you!. I know that I have had panic attacks before and I know what they feel like for me, but I rarely have them. I do worrie about me having a heart attack though and that totally freaks me out....... Write to us and tell us that you are felling better and are ok!!!

    hey gang....

    decided to sleep on the couch last nite b/c of the way i was feeling, and dh woke me around 3ish freakin out cuz i wasnt in bed....and all symptoms pretty much gone...so i slept for a couple more hrs. woke then with NONE of the feelings i was having last nite. so am pretty sure it was anxiety. BUT, i did call Dr and could not get in til Thurs. and, i did have some things go on again today, but all kinda diff stuff....weird. thinkin i really need to keep with my exercise to benefit my mind.....

    guess what? me, my mom and sis are going to MOA to see the Bodies Exhibit and shop a little. leaving Sat am and come home Sun. Yay, ladies getaway! i wanted to see this back in the early Fall, but too many conflicts, so hope the weather holds out.

    did some wrapping today and having lunch with my mom tomorrow. Chinese......it has been months! will be careful and drink tons of water.

    Crystal ~ dang, no oven? that would be tough. hope it's fixed now! i have heard good reviews on all of the Biggest Loser workouts. good way to mix things up a bit! go you!:flowerforyou:

    10 more days for Santa and 17 til 2010! hard to believe '09 is near the end.....

    hope you guys are all doing good.....love you all :heart:

    Good Morning Pepper's,

    Today is about more of the same. I'm still waiting at home after work praying that my landlord comes to fix my oven. It broke Nov, 29 and I'm more than a little annoyed by this point. I love to bake and after tonight I'll havve missed baking for 2 parties I was supposed to take desserts, too. Since I'm at home and not the gym, I guess I'll be doing my BL Boot Camp again. At least Bob makes it fun!!

    Kelly, glad you were feeling better this morning. Please keep us posted with what the Dr says tomorrow. Exciting that you get to have a girls' weekend. It has been a while since I have. I have one planned for Jan with the ladies I play Pokeno with!! I'm excited.

    Pssst remember me? I am on my 3rd day of logging and exercising again. We moved! That was hell, but living in a way safer and nicer neighborhood and we got a 16 month old German Shepard from the shelter, so I walk with him cause he is crated 18 hours of the day (I know not nice but he goes in there on his own). Eating within my cals and stretching. I gained back all of the 22 lbs I lost and 5 more lbs. I am in pain, the weight came back in my tummy and my already humungus (Sp?) boobs. Now I can't find a bra that fits right or that fits comfortably and I am hurting in every darn joint.......MY BMI IS 42.6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS ALMOST 50% FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So this is it, I cannot be this fat chick any damn more!

    So here I am again....smack me if you see me sneaking away again :noway:

    I HAVE MISSED ALL YOU GALS!

    Crystal Im sorr to hear about the oven:( that is a totaly bummer, but a good way to keep the yummies out of your house too LOL
    Hope that everyone have a great thursday, I need to go get some coffee poured down my throat now so that i can function for the rest of the day ;)

    hi all....

    well, anxiety it was. gosh, i just wish someone i knew could experience this crap! i told my mom, my sis, my dh and none of them seemed too concerned. now, if i check the web for what i experience, it is screaming heart attack, as i told all of you. anyways, my Dr did an EKG just to calm my nerves and she also could compare it to one she has from 3 yrs ago. SO, NO CHANGES! i am just a ball o nerves i guess. she did give me a script for Xanax, so looks like I will be sleeping better anyway...and, she agreed with what i KNOW, get moving my rear! Duh, Kelly. i have not had this for a few yrs, so yeah, it was scary. and i do have heart problems in the family, so I am probably just too worried about it and then with my panic attacks i just scare myself even MORE! now, gotta get them pills!

    SASSIE girl! always so good to hear from you! MISS YOU! glad you are logging the food and stretching! take your time, don't change too much at once. small steps here. luv ya sweets :heart:

    hope the rest of SHGP's are doing good. very busy time of yr and soon it will be over. take time for ** YOU ** gals, every day if you can, try to aim for those 30 minutes....otherwise you will be a freak like me! :bigsmile:
  • Hey all, Wow so busy at work and difficult times with DH. Kelly anxiety can also be brought on by change in hormones. I suffered from anxiety attacks after I had my children. they were the worst. Many times I went to the hospital because I thought I was gonna die. Once I learned to let the atttack just happen I soon was able to get more control over them. Now my DH has suffered from them, but she is learning that if she comes to me I will help her thru them. Exercise really does help with them but other things also help. I found if I dont intake to much suger or caffeiene I do better. The other thing that really helps me, which I really cant afford so much any more but I would get a 30 min massage every 2 weeks, this really destressed me alot. Well I hope this gave ya some ideas to work with.
    Sassieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Miss ya girlie!! Welcome back
