feral - Oh I'll be excited! lol I posted on another thread a while back that I think I'll be so in denial of the number I'll have to take a picture of the scale,

shan - Have fun at yoga! And super good for you studying for your exam. Once it's over you'll be glad you did.

ali - I'm gunna second feral on this one. That'd be super awesome if you lost even just a couple pounds by the time you see him next!!

haley - I used to hate when I would eat too much of a bad thing and it would make me sick. Hope you're feeling better now.

mickey - I bet your TOM is late due to stress, that's what happens to me when I stress myself out. Good luck on the job hunt, I sure hope you find something soon.

platform - I tend to build muscle quickly for being a woman... right now my exercise consists of running 3x a week, 20mins elliptical every morning, crunches, push-ups, lunges, wall sits, etc thrown in a few times a week for good measure. I like the suggestion - I had planned to do the 30day shred again when I reach goal. I'm sure it'll tighten things.

stella -

I sure hope that it's water retention. I know how frustrating it can be to fluctuate up. Just remember how far you've come and how much work you've put in already. I guess I always figure, I may as well keep going. I read on another thread a week or so ago something like - look at yourself in a year, if you stop now you'll be the same, but if you keep working at it you'll be that much closer to your goal. I didn't get that right, but hopefully you got the gist of it.

Feral & Star - He already said I looked a bit smaller but I totally don't believe him. I'm off to the gym, and trying to ignore the sore throat I woke up with and deny its existence.

How unfair is it that people like my bf can go from 230 to 160 by switching to diet soda and playing frisbee golf 3 times a week?

stellarosa27 · 02-08-2010, 03:14 PM

Okay. I'm slightly better now. Not really, but I'm going to just have some art therapy time, drink some water, and just...relax. I know its water retention, its just I've lost the same 5 lbs so many times.

Thanks for the encouraging words, ladies

When ever I start throwing fits like this, I realize I need to just relax and take a break.

I'm not going to walk tonight - my lower back hurts so much - I've never quite learned that whole "bend from the knees" thing, so I'm just going to take a break. I'm on track to hit 1200 calories, so I'm going to do that, paint, watch tv and just chill.

Positivity (and personals) will be back tomorrow.

I love you all and couldn't do this without you

HaleyisLove · 02-08-2010, 03:14 PM

I just wanna go to the gym.. I'm moving to someplace warm where snow cannot make the gym shut down for so long... I cant wait to go after work... the fact that they are calling for more snow tomorrow makes me want to kill myself...

Also this kid has driven me crazy all day....I hate when they cancel school and I'm stuck dealing with him...hes a complete brat and we hate eachother...

I'm done complaining

Shan- you will have to let me in on some reading comp tips...I seriously suck at it...the passages are just too long and I forget what I'm reading about..maybe if they werent so boring...

Feral-no heat? thats craziness...

Star- I'm feeling much better and I hope I learned my lesson... I've decided that I need to go back to logging everything I put in my mouth...even though its so tedious

Ali- hardwork and dedication makes the reward of losing much more appreciated...

back to studying/work for a little bit... I'm really anxious/overwhelmed/antsy for some reason...

stellarosa27 · 02-08-2010, 03:17 PM

Its all the snow - we can't see beyond our front doors so we get nervous

Feral · 02-08-2010, 03:19 PM

Yeah I'm not really sure what happened but the building was FREEZING all morning. When I took "lunch" which means I go sit in my car for 30 min, run an errand, make a phone call so I don't hurt someone here... it was warmer IN my car than in the building. The heat is one now. The building was rennovated about 5 years ago or so and the main office is part of the old building...they had heat all morning.

I have had 3 17oz waters now... and I'm not drinking anymore til I get home. I've been peeing every 5 minutes. So tired of peeing.

I realized that this is my 2nd day of not having any soda. I think I may give it up except for on rare occasion.

Iconised Ghost · 02-08-2010, 03:25 PM

Luvja- welcome back! We totally missed you heaps. You better stick around now!

Anaj- welcome! Sounds like you have a pretty good start there

Feral- guts about the yoghurt >.< I hate it when that happens. Or when you put milk on your cereal, go to eat it and find the milk is off. Blech. What a waste of cereal, one of my favourite foods ever!

Stella-

its totally water weight. Give it a chance to settle down, I reckon you'll be fine by the end of the week

Mickey- that sucks

I swear we save all our bad luck up over the year for just one week where nothing goes right. At least your bad luck week is out of the way right?

Ali- I want to strangle those kinds of people

I gotta run or i'll miss my bus! BUT 64.8KG THIS MORNING. Yay!

Chele615 · 02-08-2010, 04:39 PM

I had such a bad day at work.....I seriously can't stand some of the adults I work with. One of the teachers made one of my students cry and reamed out two others. Great way to start a Monday. February break can't come soon enough!!! Only 4 more get ups

platformnine · 02-08-2010, 05:19 PM

Haley - Oh yeah, surprisingly our friendship is totally unaffected by all of this. It's brought us closer. That sucks about work :C But at least you know that the 7lbs isn't really 7lbs!

Feral - Yeah, no worries, we're still really good friends

Jana - You're welcome!

Stella - BIG HUGS!!

Feral · 02-08-2010, 05:45 PM

I found the solution to my problem. Originally I wasn't going to go to the wedding because of class.. it was on a Thursday night and I figured I could fly out on Friday after work and spend the weekend in ATL.

Then I remembered I took Friday and Monday off.

Why not take THURSDAY and Friday off. Fly to ATL Wednesday night. The only suck part would be I would have to come home on Holly's bday Sunday, but we could celebrate Saturday night.

That way I can skip their reception, but be at the wedding.

DUHHHH!

I talked to Misty about it today and she was very cool about it (****, she's almost 30 at this point she's either cool or she can blow me).

So yeah, problem solved... and NO test that night of lecture and I haven't missed any yet!

YAY!

luvja · 02-08-2010, 06:01 PM

Awwwww

I loooove you all so much. I'm glad I wasn't forgotten, even though I did stray!

My walking buddy and I are starting to walk again tonight. Brrrr, we are going to freeze our bums off!
Oh gosh, it's been a good year since I've been on track. I hit that brick wall again, I'm now READY....again.

I'm so happy that you are all doing so well. I'm so very proud of you all.

luvja · 02-08-2010, 06:07 PM

P.S.
A *BIG* hello to all the new folks

HaleyisLove · 02-08-2010, 07:04 PM

Feral- you're an amazing problem solver...

Mary- thats really really good... My friends with benefits situation was a very long term one... my whole senior year of college... I moved back home and then he suddenly missed me and wanted to date me... very strange...but it would have never worked...he was dumber than a box of rocks...but oh so very cute and adorable

Icon- Yay!

Stella- seriously if we get another foot of snow I might go insane...its totally the snows fault that I'm anxious because it screws with my routine

I emailed my nutrition teacher from my senior year of college... I met with her when I had lost about 40 pounds or so and she was so excited to hear how good I had been doing and what not...she really motivated me to change my life and taught me sooo much... I made her cry when I told her that...It was nice to be able to update her and let her know how far I had come yet again

I really miss her class

Study time...catch you chickies later

stellarosa27 · 02-08-2010, 07:17 PM

Mary - I had/have a friends with benefits situation and its...odd. I don't know if its still going on because I haven't seen him since July (although he texted me today and I ignored it) but things get complicated very quickly, so be careful

Haley - I'm with you - this snow is ridiculous. CB is supposed to come over on Thursday for dinner and if this weather messes with my plans there will be **** to pay.

Luvja - you go girl, walking in the winter. I've been walking on my treadmill inside, but I guess the cold weather would give you more of a work out ?

Aliquot - which Rutgers campus are you going to interview ?

Feral - hopefully you were able to keep warm

Okay, so I painted and made a new picture to hang in my apartment

I made myself a sandwich and had some tomato soup that I had bought at Whole Foods. I should be uh, reading, but I'm kind of hoping school will be canceled this week. I'm also researching a health policy topic to do an analysis of. Boo.

aliquot · 02-08-2010, 07:39 PM

Stella - New Brunswick, I applied to the Micro and Molecular Genetics phd program. Also your art is pretty!

I hear you people up in MD are expecting another possible 10+ inches. GOOD TIMES. I wish I was there, I miss it so much up there. Florida is so lame...no offense to any native Floridians here.

Do you guys like...friend each other on FB? Or am I too new to ask that question...
