Judie - woohoo! Way to go! Congrats on the weight loss! :happy: Try to enjoy your day off today, even though I am sure your men are keeping your occupied!

Silver - I'm not sure, maybe. I'll just have some days where I want to eat more than usual and I've never known why. I also saw your post about instant messaging. I can't get do that, I stay on this website and check it often though and am more than happy to chat as much as I can on here.

Megan - you are sooo right! The news about Abby really tore me down last week! I actually am looking forward to working out tonight, although I know that won't last long - Debbie gets on my every last nerve at times...lol

I am interested. I'll check it out and let you know if I'm in.

You can do it Kathy - an extra 20 days and 154 is totally reasonable. My goal is very close. I am planning on being UNDER 150 by October 26th. I'm not sure how the scale is going to like me this week - with switching back to a normal diet I may stay the same....I'll find out on Wednesday.

Silver - that's great that you are feeling your workout now. That makes a huge difference for me in my workouts. When I can FEEL it I feel like I am accomplishing more and I stick to it better. I just had lunch. 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese and carrots, cucumbers, green peppers and celery dipped in homemade Hidden Valley…

Jill - I did really good my first week, I did all 6 workouts, no problems. I did really well last week up until Thursday, I was getting overly sore and burnt out, so I agree with your statement. Today starts week 3 for me and I am committed to getting back to my 6 days of workouts. :happy:

Good morning everyone! Silver - keep up the good work! You're doing great! Kim - Glad to hear that you had such a great weekend! Megan - How are you doing with SI6? Jill - I think I am going to plan on staying on RIU this week too...I think the twice daily workouts last week were too much for me...I think that I'm ready to…

Hi everyone! Seems like we all get pretty quiet around here on the weekend! I got a bad migraine this morning, my head is still bothering me, but not as bad as it was. My body, however, is a whole nother story. My tummy's pretty upset and I just feel off. I hope everyone has a great day! I'm back to work tomorrow, back to…

Jill, I am so proud of you! :heart: :flowerforyou: Like we've been saying, keep trucking right along and you WILL see results! How is BIU treating you? I was supposed to move on to that tomorrow, but I haven't even worked out since we found out about Abby, my spirits have still been down!

I just got next week's weigh-in list ready and I'm wondering if you guys want to keep track of the total amount that you have lost since we started this group or total weight loss overall? I would like to know what would be the most inspirational to all of you. I also wanted to let you know that over half the list did not…

Good morning everyone! Last night was AMAZING! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of myself. I didn't overeat ANYTHING at Longhorn. That is a major accomplishment in my world. I used to keep eating just because something tasted good. USED to is the keyword there. I keep telling myself that I need to take my time eating and stop…

Thanks ladies! Christine - that's my husband too. When he suprises me he goes all out, and I LOVE IT! It's raining here today, so that kinda sucks, but we can get all wet and wild together, lol. I'll get on probably tomorrow morning and let you guys know how tonight goes! I hope everyone has a great evening, I'm hoping to!…

I agree that your water intake really helps! I can really see a difference based on how much water that I am drinking! I'm amazingly proud of myself. I'm only have 1.2 pounds to go and I'll be down 10 pounds since August 17th! I'm hoping that I can be down that extra weight by Monday! I did horrible when Aunt Flo was here…

Judie - I'm a big cry baby too - I've been an emotional wreck since yesterday afternoon. We can cry together, even if it is via MFP posts. lol

That's awesome Megan! Keep up the great work! :smile: I'm going to take today off from working out, I think I deserve it! :happy:

Silver - congrats on Sharlotte using the potty! I used to reward Elizabeth with 2 or 3 M&M's every time she used the potty. It really helped us with potty training! Megan - great job with the workout! I'm so proud of you.

Judie - thank you sweetie! Abby is my dog actually, but you're close :wink: You have no idea of all the rough times we've gone through in our short lives. I consider almost 30 entirely too young to go through everything we have gone through, but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I may post a blog about what…

Good morning everyone! Way to go Catherine for losing another pound! We'll have to chat about our similars in the infertility world. We too lost twins, one by miscarriage and one being taken in error in emergency surgery. That crushed my world! November 10th will be two years for my angel babies! We miscarried again in…

Thanks everyone! For now she should be okay *fingers crossed* or at least that's what I'm hoping. She's been a trooper, so I'm hoping that she continues to be one. Thank you for letting me have a mini-meltdown. It felt good to get it off my chest. I've totally lost my appetite for dinner and my allergies are going crazy…

Ok, time for my rant. Tuesday we took our dog, Abby, to the vet for a lump that has grown on her back leg. He said it didn't look like anything but he took an x-ray and aspirated (sp) it. It came back with some strange cells (he was looking for it to be pure fat and it's not). Long story short, it is a cancerous tumor.…

Thanks guys - you have NO IDEA of how bad our infertility issues are - maybe I'll share some day. All I can say is that we've had some very bad things happen! Kathy - that is awesome news. You can do it girl - let's do it together! You know I want down as much as possible by October 26th, so I'll be rooting you on! Let us…

I'm glad that you got to go back to sleep Silver. I know how rough it is when the little one gets up and you haven't had enough sleep yet. My daughter did that to us this morning. I plan on snuggling with hubby and taking a nap after our workout. I ended up eating breakfast already, so I am going to wait a little while…

Oh my Kathy, I can see why your emotions got the best of you yesterday. How scary for your family! He will be fine though, just keep in a positive mindset and you will get through! *big hugs* :heart: Jill - keep your chin up. It will happen for you. You are right, you need to keep up the good habits and eventually they…

Congrats everyone for a wonderful day! Continue to update for those who haven't had a chance yet. Until tomorrow.... :heart: Lisa

Silver - I would say that it does! I don't know that I would count it in your exercise, but you know that you are getting a little workout from it.

Christine - I wanted to thank you for your sweet post yesterday! It is very hard to find the time to be true to yourself when you have others counting on you, but we all figure out how to manage....one way or another! :wink: Great job on being down a pound this week! Megan - did you do it yet? We did SIU this morning and I…

Thank you Stephanie! I hope she's having a great day at school today! Today is sharing day where they tell each other about themselves, so that should be fun! I plan on meeting my goals, or at least trying as hard as I can. I'm down 7 pounds since August 17th, so giving myself 8 weeks to lose another 10+ should be very…

Megan - when are you going to get the mani/pedi that you have earned? :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Congrats to Megan and Kathy for both hitting goals! Everyone else is doing so so good! I'm so glad that everyone is in the right mindset. Those who haven't lost seem to know that they need to continue doing what they have been doing or make improvements! That's the only attitude to have! We can not beat ourselves up EVER -…
