bump :) Thanks girl

bump! this is great :)

Wow! Thanks for the responses everyone!! I'll be sure to see which of these she likes :) I'm sure she'll like them all!

Aw man! I'm missing the February vacation!! I do have one set for Punta Cana in June though :) I have lots of time to get to goal!!

beeps - I knew it was that because I was fine one minute and black out the next, I have no memory of that night what so ever, I had 4 drinks that I can remember over a 3 hour period (and I can usually drink much more than that) and my friends said the difference was a matter of 10 minutes so that is very quick for it to be…

Amy - I have no clue how it happened, it's extremely scary! I'm definitely going to be more cautious now though! I knew the bar tender, so it would be crazy if it was him, but again, never know I guess.. Jen - I just saw your pictures, you look AMAZING!! I'm glad everything is going well with you post surgery, please don't…

Soooo, this weekend did NOT go as planned!!! It started with being roofied at the bar Wednesday night and that making me feel horrible all weekend! Yey for that.... Luckily my bf and friends were looking out for me and noticed something was really wrong and took me home and took care of me all night.. I ate whatever my…

Beeps - as long as you get all of your nutrients in I can't blame you for trying something!! I think keeping breakfast and lunch healthy is good, and just make sure you get enough calories for the day with your work outs! And tom definitely makes the scale go up, it is very disappointing to see the number increase though..…

Here's a copy of my post: Thanksgiving plan.... eat a normal breakfast and drink plenty of water... load the plate with vegetables first with just a small portion of stuffing (weakness#1) and mashed potatoes (weakness#2) and green bean casserole (weakness#3) drink more water... go on a walk after dinner with the bf's…

Jen - I can't wait to see the B/A pictures :) I have a hard time believing you could look any better, but I'm willing to look and find out! ;) Ris - yard work definitely counts! it's more than you usually do in a day and it uses more muscles than you realize :) Congrats on signing up for the marathon too! That's awesome :)…

Glad you're back Jen :) Beeps - What is your gala for again?? Congrats on fitting in your dress again and getting thumbs up from your daughter!! 9 year olds can be hard to please! I'm sure you will all look wonderful for that night :)

congrats ASchief on finding a dress!! What does it look like? I love looking at wedding dresses! (even though I'm not getting married anytime soon!) This weekend I ate horribly, but I am going to do better this week, I swear!! And I will try to eat well on Thanksgiving too...

Hi everyone! So far I've done my work out 2 times this week, so that's right on schedule! Tonight I have class, so that means no time to work out.. I'm trying to get more protein though, so I'm going to get my usual salad from the deli (huge and delicious!) and then I'm going to go to the grocery store across the street…

I'm from Lincoln :) I do jazzercise for my work outs

Well I'm failing the exercise part of my challenge... I've been way too busy to work out! I guess that's a terrible excuse, but my family had an early Thanksgiving today and I was baking and preparing for that!! And I was trying to spend a lot of time with my bf since I won't see him for 2 weeks.. he seems to be "allergic"…

The lovely Amy started us a group last night :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/499-not-that-heavy-girls

Sounds good :) I'm still doing the same challenge as in the other thread :) 1. Cut down on carbs (adjusted to 45%.. will slowly try to move to 40%) 2. Work out 5-6 days a week. So far this week I have worked out 3 days in a row.. I will try to do something this afternoon... Maybe I will find a short work out on youtube,…

Oh nice!! I'm from Lincoln :) How are you liking living in CT?

Hi! I'm Shannon, I'm from RI :)

Woo! I had a great Health Risk Assessment!! I had great blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol readings :) She tested my body fat with an electronic Omron tester and it said that my BF% was 14.2%!! I know it isn't completely accurate, but do you guys know how accurate they usually are?? Let me know if you do!! My…

Jen - Congrats on resisting all of that!! Awesome job :) Amy - Great job on working out all those days :) Your food choices don't seem too bad! The 2 lbs is probably from the sodium in the small plats and the pasta dish, it'll come off I'm sure! Your choices for the week so far seem great as well :) I have my appetite back…

Today was so much better!!! I'm so happy :) I didn't over stuff myself, but I was able to eat decent sized meals without feeling sick at all... I even had some snacks! So relieved I can't even explain it :) Jen - I agree with Amy.. I'd skip the pizza and enjoy the cuban food!! Reese - Good job on getting rid of some…

Yeah, I'll definitely get used to it, by the weekend I should be fine, I feel a bit better now, I've been munching on cereal all day, so its good :) I just forgot how annoying the first week is!! I didn't feel as terrible after lunch either, so thats a good step! I'll have some peanut butter tonight too to up my calories,…

Good job adding everything in today Amy :) Unfortunately I do have to keep taking the meds, I have ADD and thought I had finally grown out of it, but lately I haven't been getting my work done at work no matter how hard I try to focus, so I have to go back on them so I don't get fired!! I hate having that sound as an…

Jen - you are right, it's Shannon :) And congrats on undoing the last 2 weeks! My old roommate had a bullet, she loves it!! Maybe I'll get one when I get my own place! Ris - Great job with the self control!! That's an awesome achievement :) I am getting soooo sick of this feeling in my stomach!! I've been achieving my goal…

Good job adding it to your diary afterwards :) I did the same with some goldfish! I'm still working on getting my appetite back, I am making sure that I eat 3 meals though and that gives me something at least!! Hopefully it'll be back by the end of the week!! I worked out yesterday and it felt GREAT! I'll try walking (or…

Yep!! The cop one was a liiiittle too short to go out to a bar haha.. so I wore my rag doll one from last year since I made bloomers to go under it :) I think I want to be a belly dancer or Jasmine next year :) I'll try to make that one though. I think you'd make a great mermaid amy!! By the way, your arms are amazing!!

Glad you're back Kate!! I totally forgot to work out last night :( I'm so used to coming home after 7, then eating and relaxing.. I got home at 5:30, ate and and then started relaxing out of habit and by the time I realized I had forgotten to work out it was too late and it would have kept me up :( I was so mad!! I'm going…

bump!!

I had Chinese for 3-4 separate meals this weekend, I know what you mean :P The only issue going down to 45% for me is that I eat a ton of veggies since I'm a vegetarian! At 45% my limit is 144 without exercise.. Up until a few hours ago I had it at 55%, so I'll see if I can stay under or not!! It will be a true challenge…
