  • I am! My husband is on here now too! We are doing it together! We have lost a total of 16lbs together in the last 5 days! We are in a great place...finally! ♥
  • Hello! I'm on vacation, my parents are coming in town for the week. Not losing anything lately but hanging in there. I am thinking I need a new program or diet to get things going again.
  • I had my monthly weigh on today too. I was down 9lbs but that doesn't really mean chit because they were pretty much only showing me down 1lb last month so that is only 10lbs in 2 months. Not stellar. Def slowing down but I have been eating pretty bad. Right now I am laying in bed trying to fight the urge not to go eat…
  • Yep. This is a HUGE problem for me. I have it in my head that I look one way and even take "selfies" where they come out looking the way I look in my head "good" but whenever someone takes a picture of me or video, I am devastated, ABSOLUTELY devastated for a while over what I see because this is NOT what I see when I look…
  • Only 10 MORE DAY!? How on earth did that happen?! I am still chuggin along although I haven't posted in a week. I am still here. Just crazy busy because of Fiscal Year end. I haven't even had time to read any posts. :cry:
  • :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'm reading! Very late getting here, but I got here and reading. I get the prednisone ills. I have been off/on so many times myself. Makes me damn hungry and crazy and all that stuff. But boy oh boy, does it help with the itches and the basically anything where your body will try to attack itself.…
  • Daily routine that makes it both hard and easy during the week is work. Work makes it easy not to eat because I am too busy. However, it makes it hard to work out because I am too exhausted after work to want to work out and I it's my only time with my daughter so I don't want to leave to go to the gym. But sometimes I do,…
  • I have been slacking on the posting and exercise too. Life is just crazy right now. Trying to prepare for a girls trip this weekend. We are going to a wine festival where we are stomping grapes and everything with a gourmet 3 course meal cooked in front of us by a local famous chef. We also rented a cabin so we don't have…
  • Wait until you get down to 299 and then tell him you weren't honest before because you were embarrassed. Something about breaking into the 200's (even if it is just 1lb under 300) makes it seem not so bad. This is if you lying about your weight is bugging you. I can see how it might be bugging you because eventually you…
  • That is funny Julie. I am doggy sitting for 2 more more dogs, bringing our total to 3. One is a wiener the other is a coon hound. My friwnd is on he way with her 4 yr old for a play day and we are going to clean my mess of a house while our husbands catch a movie. Busy day. Busy house.
  • Thread necormancy... I searched on the internet for weight loss and itching and it brought me here. My stomach has been itching so bad. I thought I might ve allergic to belt so I stopped wearing it a week ago and nothing, still itches like crazy. I am on Zertec daily and cortisone creame because i am covered from head to…
  • Morning sweetheart! I am just catching up from yesterday's posts so I will carry over my response into today's thread. YAY for the boots! I love me the idea of calf boots! I have enormous tree trunk German legs. Even when I was thin, I have disproportionate legs. I think we have talked about this where I thought I might…
  • Stay off that scale!! Get out the tape measure instead! Is it horrible I have been avoiding the gym because when I hit it hard last week I gained 9lbs? I noticed whenever I workout hard, I put on weight. Crazy, but true. Even just doing the exercise bike at home, I gain weight. I don't know if it is permanent, I seriously…
  • We usually say what days a mini challenge runs through as we come up with them. As for weight loss, you can earn a point for any time you lose a pound. You just can't keep earning points for losing the same pound over and over. :laugh: :tongue: It is cumulative weight lost. Does that answer your question?
  • Way to go on the Coooookie. Weekend was exhausting. Too much time in the sun but I swam my *kitten* off in a very choppy lake. Had a blast. Sunday was horrible. I slept too much and got absoluely nothing done and now I am paying for it. I feel like I am in a fog and am very grumpy. Very. I feel like I am going to throat…
  • Popping in! I spent 8 hrs at the lake yesterday. I would say a good 4 hrs of it was swimming. It was very choppy, i have never seen a lake have so many waves. It reminded me of an ocean. I spent about 10 mins on the ski...that is it. It was just a get back.on the horse sort of thing because I was so scared Id flip.it…
  • I might as well be counting tiles...I have fallen asleep at my desk every day this week. Just sitting up, you know, your eyes get heavy. Next thing I know, I am jerking my head awake. It MAY be time to slow down the social life a little, but it is so hard. This summer has been the most fun I've had in years. I am going to…
  • Here is the best chili I've ever had. I made it this week and am still eating on it!! I will post the link and also list the ingredients I used since I modified it a bit. I am sharing this because it is jammed packed with Protein. 20g per cup and it is not that expensive to make at all either. Makes a HUGE batch so if it…
  • Oh oh...i have a great recipe I tried out this week. Best thing Ive made in a long time...maybe ever.

  • Haha. Typos. Putting in time, not tile. Oh and you want to hear something gross? I didnt get much sleep last night or wash off my makeup so when I got up I pretty much looked like I did last night so I took a shower but judt reapplied my.make up and didnt even have to redo my hair. Bonus for apparently sleeping like the…
  • Gooood morning/afternoon! Its already a long day for me. I have been up since 5am because I had to cook 3 dozen eggs this morning for a fundraiser at work and then come in and work it. Still have the rest of the day to go. I didn't pack or bring lunch or snacks because I am already starting the day off with 640 cals gone…
  • Welcome Persis! It is nice to see your honesty about what you eat and how you got here. Are you getting counseling or a Dr.'s help as well? I applaud you for starting again and doing well, I just hope you have the support you need so you don't cycle out of control and feel despair. It is definitely not a lack of willpower…
  • My topic I decided to tackle is Plateaus. The reason being is I was losing 10lbs a month for the first 4 months and then BAM! Down to nothing for 2 months. Article 1: The Real Reason the Scale Won’t Budge \http://www.everydayhealth.com/columns/johannah-sakimura-nutrition-sleuth/real-reason-scale-wont-budge/ The article…
  • Thank you! 1lb in 3 weeks is horrible for me.. however, I will take it since I have been playing with the same 10lbs for about 2 months. Blarg.
  • Just want to see my ticker.. the scale finally moved back in the right direction.
  • Wow, great summary and article Karen!! Food is absolutely addicting. Anything that gives you a temporary feel good and keeps you coming back despite the negative affects is addictive. I am loving this challenge. Time to work on mine.
  • Wow. 30,000 steps is like what.. 15 Miles? That is awesome. My busyness continues. I am going to give you massive picture overload as I have to catch up!! We had National Night Out in our Neighborhood last night and had a lot of fun. I also haven't posted my new foods results. That was Monday night. Monday night I found…
  • Congrats! I am at 30% gone. I need to be at 60%. So.. half way there. :drinker:
  • Wow. That could explain a lot since I wake up just about every hour.
