Starting Fat Smash 11/2- Any takers

jan11661 · 12-22-2009, 11:51 AM

I am here Equinata, I am here! Seems like it almost ended with us before and now we are keeping it going again. I'm sure all of our 3FC friends will be back after the holidays and for sure after the New Year with some new resolutions!

I'm glad you have not gained and that boot camp is going well. I too am going back to Phase 1 (Detox) after the holidays. I am still baking cookies and although I have altered the recipes I know they are still not what I should be eating.

I have my oldest coming here tonight. She flew in from Texas yesterday and spent the night with my other daughter. I get her tonight until Christmas evening. My daughter she's with now will come Christmas Eve with her boyfriend and then they will take her back to Ft. Lauderdale with them for the rest of her trip. It's boring here with old Mom and the "girls" have a better time hanging out together, I understand. My youngest is so excited for her biggest sis to get here and so am I!

I'll check with you again before Christmas. Hope all is well at your home~

I am still here. My eating is still good days and bad days. I am trying to motivate myself to take my grandma Christmas shoppoing. I hate crowds.

Hello Ladies,

It's great that you guys are still around. I'm sure we will see things pick up after the New Year as you stated Jan. I hope you and the girls have a great time hanging out with each other. That is something I miss with my mom since she passed when I was 20, now I have a mother-in-law who I want to just say not today mom, but I love her for it. LOL Wonderful we don't live down the street from each other. LOL

Life4evr I know the feeling of not liking the crowds - that is why I start my shopping in October. LOL and if I don't have it by the week before Christmas then they just won't get that gift.

I am challenging myself for the New Year to lose another 30lbs by April.

What are your challenges?

Hey Ladies
I finally made it to onederland. Weight 199.8

Merry Christmas

jan11661 · 12-26-2009, 12:21 PM

A Belated Merry Christmas to you all! Been having computer issues on top of the normal holiday stuff and feel bad I didn't get to wish you all a "merry" before hand.

Hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Today my older daughters leave to go back to Ft. Lauderdale where my one daughter lives. My oldest flies back home to Texas on Tuesday. I was happy to have all of them here together for the holiday.

We are going out for a very late breakfast together and then they are going from there. I weighed in this morning but knew that the ham my Mom made and I ate yesterday wreaked havoc on my body before I even stepped on the scale. My hands felt like little sausages this morning and my face looks swollen. The scale was not kind at all as right now it's showing a 5 lb. holiday gain. I am going to drink alot of water today, weigh in again tomorrow morning and try to see if it was from all the sodium intake or truly from ALL of the bad eating.

Equinata,

Congratulations on making it to "onederland"! That is great and to do that during the holiday is even more commendable! Continued success to reach your goal during the New Year.

I'm need to go, family is almost ready. Catch you all again soon!

Hello Ladies,

I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas.

Jan don't worry about the gain... It was expected. I have not been able to put the food down so that is the only reason I did not kill myself trying to eat it. My body just kept rejecting the spoon. I was feeling like I wanted to vomit so I had to stop because I can not stand vomitting. LOL I learned that I have to listen to my body otherwise the outcome is never pleasant. LOL

I wish all of you ladies a wonderful New Year. I will try to check in at least once a day.

jan11661 · 12-27-2009, 05:28 PM

Hi Ladies,

Well I have confessed my eating sins during this holiday and am waiting to see how the rest of your did. So ladies, how have you done?

Equinata,

I know that you have reported in and I think that you did wonderfully! I too felt the effects of putting the wrong things in my mouth.... but did it anyway. I started out feeling nauseous, then felt bloated and got heartburn from the extra fats, sugars, & calories. Lost the energy that I had newly gained from eating well, and it has also lead to constipation...sorry TMI on that one! Basically my one week of bad eating has totally wrecked my system and I feel like crap! I was...and that's the opportune word...WAS doing well and staying faithful but boy did I fall off the wagon.

Although my oldest daughter (the vegetarian) kept saying "it's ok Mom, you'll get back to it, and it's the holidays", I felt that I should have tried harder to show her what I had been doing and can do. Instead, in front of her I reverted back to my old habits. It's funny but I wanted HER to be proud of ME for a change instead of the other way around. I know I will get back to the plan and report in to her once she is back in Texas but wish I would have had the will power to show her my efforts while she was here.

Well I did get a Wii Fit for Christmas so I am hoping that will help with my future efforts. Also got a new Biggest Loser food scale and a Biggest Loser "kit" that has meal plans, journals, and other booklets along with recorded motivation & tips from past contestants. As you can tell I need to actually crack into the box to see what's all in it! I wanted a treadmill very badly and asked for only that from everyone as a gift but it wasn't possible. I still feel as the Mom though that I made out pretty darn good!

My youngest got a bunch of great "Taylor" things from everyone. Her favorite people right now are Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner. She got T-Shirts, an outfit, a bag, a puzzle and a blanket with Taylor Lautner. My daughter's boyfriend is a big ebay buying guy and got her an autographed picture of Taylor Swift, a pink acoustic guitar and picks to go with it with Taylor Swifts picture on it. As usual, she was spoiled rotten by her older siblings!

How did your little one make out and what was her "theme" this year, anything in particular? What did you get?

Catch you all later. Hope you are having a good weekend.

Good Morning Ladies
I'm sitting waiting for my boot camp instructor and decided to look in.

Jan sounds like you guys had a wonderful Christmas. Don't beat yourself up too much about the holiday eating.At least you know that your body won't stand for it. Lol

My dughter didn't have a theme this year. She hs been begging all year round and we bought everything we said no to. Lol Needles to say she made out like a bandit with a new bike, scooter, plenty of clothes, money,dolls,shoes,sneakers,boots,wii games,science projects, spa maker, ice cream maker, etc... I got plenty of work out clothes - can you guys believe that. Lol. I also got jewlery.

How did all you other ladies do?

jan11661 · 12-28-2009, 12:24 PM

Holy Cow Equinata, what time does your boot camp start? So you were up and waiting for the instructor at 5:30 am? That just told me right there that there is no way I would take a class like that...not at that time anyway. I am sooooo not a morning person! Good for you though, hope it went well and they didn't kick your butt too bad!

Sounds like your little one made out pretty well too, I guess that's the advantage of being a kid. Sounds like she got some fun things to do and make. Surprisingly enough one of the least expensive gifts that my daughter got has kept her occupied.....a big pad of paper, some paints, and little ceramic animals to paint. She has made some awesome pictures so far. Sometimes the old basics (not electronic) gifts work out well!

I am meeting my older daughters in Palm Beach (and bringing my youngest with me) at 1:00 today to have lunch together. This will be the last time this trip that I will get to see my oldest daughter before she leaves tomorrow. She would like to move back to Florida but closer to her sister down south of here but her husband does not want to. He wants to go back to Ohio where his family is from and my daugter won't go for that, seems they are at an impasse. They have lived in Texas for about 4 years now, both have very good jobs, but neither have family there. They moved with friends and thought that it would be a good move (and it was for awhile) but now they are realizing they would like to be near family. Of course I am hoping they would move back here to Florida in which case I would stay here myself a bit longer. I was contemplating a move to North Carolina. I guess it will be a "wait & see" scenerio.

Ok, got to get ready for my afternoon wit the girls. Hope you have a nice day.

Jan

Equinata · 12-28-2009, 04:14 PM

Jan you are absolutely right about the non electronic gifts... They are more appreciated. Boot Camp was tough this morning as we had to workout in the frigid cold on a hill at that. LOL I made it through at time sure flies because this is the last week unless I want to spend more money to sign up again and it's just not in the budget.

Equinata · 12-30-2009, 10:15 AM

Just poking my head in for a minute to see what's going on. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

jan11661 · 12-30-2009, 01:09 PM

Hi Ladies,

As Equinata said "just poking my head in to say hello". Hope you all have a good day.

Jan

Equinata · 12-31-2009, 08:39 AM

Good Morning Ladies... I am wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

jan11661 · 12-31-2009, 12:07 PM

Good Morning Ladies,

My New Years resolution? To get back to this program and reach my goal by summer!

I am hoping that after the New Year comes tonight there will also be some similar new resolutions. I miss the rest of this group, where are you? I know the holidays have been busy. I also know that I have failed miserably on keeping myself on track.

I promise you all, (if you are looking in here) neither myself or Equinata are here to judge what did or did not happen during the holidays with your eating or exercise. It's like Vegas....what happens there, stays there!

We just want you to come back and join us. We will help you get back to your plan. I too need some help and extra support after pigging on cookies and "bad" food all holiday! Won't you please re-join us?

Here's wishing you all a very Happy & Healthy New Year!

Equinata · 01-01-2010, 09:37 AM

Happy New Year Ladiesm

I'm with you Jan - let start losing again.
