Phew, 2.4 more to go to get back to my low of 3 days ago!
Star -- I'm so happy to hear that your uncle's surgery went so well! Love your suggestion for the October thread. On the BMI thing, I'm very big boned too, wide shoes, big hats, that's me!
Akelly -- Don't lose heart, you've done really well while travelling, and this is just a small set back.
Sunshine -- Congrats on breaking through your plateau!
Diana -- I'm a similar height to you at 5'6. When my Dr. told me his goal for me was 160 I thought, holy crap, are you kidding me? But since I've been working at this I have secret goal of 145 for myself...that's what I weighed in the 11th grade, and I looked hot. I think what looked anorexic when I was 16 (24 years ago) is different from how people see anorexic today. I think at 160 I will be normal, 145 now I will still look normal but also smoking hot. lol I am secretly aiming for 'smoking hot'. Size-wise, I'd be a very happy camper in a 10 and ecstatic in an 8. Congrats on hitting your 100 lb milestone!!!
Ona -- Great week for you! Way to go
Kristi -- I fluctuate a great deal too at times. I think it's sodium or workout related in most cases for myself.
Coondocks -- I ate pickles this weekend too! Damn pickles, I will never succumb to their low calorie allure again (for now). Where are you going on your trip?
Vixsin -- Congrats on being 45 days binge free!! That's amazing!
Kukkie -- Enjoy your time with your friend. Your California goal is a great one, very exciting!
September goal: To just keep losing!

I am back! Work kicked my but on Thurs and Fri! No time to come back and read and post. This weekend was pretty low key. Not feeling like shaking it all around with exercise on my TOM! I guess I could have lifted, but I was really low energy this weekend.
I was hoping to see 200 by the end of this month, I have 4 days left. Maybe some of this bloat will go away before the 1st and will take me to that number??? That would be my next 10lb goal! ****wishing, wishing...eyes shut tight!*****
Looks like a lot has happened since Thursday!
Diana - Congrats on hitting the 100lb mark! What an amazing way to end this month!
Star - That is wonderful news about your uncle! You will be back on track soon! Get lost 245!
AKelley- Don't worry, you will get past that plateau and keep chugging along like all of us. Sometimes I feel like everyone is just losing like crazy and I am stuck. It's like "Hey! Wait up guys!" but I look back and I see I am moving too...at my own pace.
Angie - Your meals always make me hungry! Risotto.....oh yummmmm!
Kris - I read your anniversary post. It is really inspiring to look at those numbers and the dates! Congrats on your 1 lbs loss!
Vixsin - Two pounds? Excellent my friend! Doing great on being binge free! Yippee! and yes the support here is like nothing else!
Kukkie - Rocking the bikini in May in Cali! You gotta get movin! I wanna see! You can do it! You can do it! Just like the quitting smoking, one step at a time. And its great your hubby is cutting back too! Great news!
Kristi - Almost two more pounds? WOW! What a great month you had! I want a 10lb+ loss too! BTW- I have gained 7 lbs in one whole day and lost it by the end of it! WTH??? It IS confusing!
Coondocks - No more pickles for you! Sooooo not worth the mental stress later! Have a super work out today!
Ona - Yeah baby! Nice drop! "call me crazy but seems like that's all i do is think about and live to lose this weight.I wonder what am i gonna do once i reach my goal " ...you said it sista'!
akelly,keep your head up you've done an excellent job under the circumstances.Today is another day so just continue to fight on
Kristi, Great job on the 1.9 don't worry things could be worse.Seems like I've been having whole numbers lately too As long as you're losing something.. it's all good
Coon,those 2 lbs are just the sodium from the pickles,you'll lose that in no time
Love,hope you had a wonderful time
Star,stay with it I thought 253 was going to be the death of me keep fighting!!!
MamaP, great job for the .6 please find some time for yourself don't be scattered. Thank you
Vixsin,Congrats on the 2 lbs!! you've had an awesome weekend huh..I'm so happy for you you are conquering obstacles and doing a wonderful job
Kukkie,.9 great!! I know you'll get to the gym very soon
Angie,you're back in stride again!! 2.6 thank you
Aimee, now that's what I'm talking about..9 keep going!! thank you
Hiya Paris,i wondered where you were oh..soon you'll be shakin it up again It is what it is hang in there Hope you reach your goal by the 1st,but if you don't you're gonna be so close.Thank you
Ona great job for the week I did have a wonderful time. I plan to make it down again but spend two days in one spot not one in each city. Hotels and 5 children it's crazy (you'd think we'd be or at least I'd be use to it) I think they'll all be near grown before I get it down pack
Diana congratulations on 100lbs down My lowest weight according to the BMI calculator 111 to 146 using that Better Ideal Weight Body calculator. I remember being 128 back in 1991 and to go back and look at those pictures is interesting. I have a nice sized head with a big face/cheeks so skinny is not cute. I look like a bobble head. I am shooting for 136 right now but like Ona said I'll see what I look like as I lose. 150 was my original thought but I still won't be out of the overweight range.
Kristi congrats on the 1.9 down
Coondocks I use to eat sour pickles by the jar, with a red hot pickled sausage talk about sodium ... but oh so good. Can't find them out here but when we lived up north the ice cream/junk truck that came around would order then for me (8 yrs of having a truck at my door full of goodies I liked)
Got my for a great weigh in tomorrow for ya
Star it'll say good bye soon.
Kris congrats on the .6 down
Vixsin ... 45 days binge free, 100% OP and 2lbs down, you're doing GREAT Congratulations
Kukkie it is early but any day that you go without smoking is a definite victory and something to be proud of. Hubby may quit ... you never know. It's great that you are looking out for your brother in your parents absence ... it's not easy being alone when you aren't use to it. Congrats on the .9 down. What a great goal ... The new Kukkie is California bound, YOU GO GIRL. I don't think I will ever wear short shorts or a bikini but my hat is off to anyone that can, GO FOR IT Thanks for the
Aimee congrats on the .9 down. It's amazing how and what you notice during your journey that you didn't notice before. OR how you realize something that you should have known when someone mentions it here ... thank goodness we have each other
Hi Vicki
Eclipse this is how I feel also, you said it perfectly ---> I initially set my weight loss goal at 150, which will still make me technically overweight, because it seemed attainable at the time. Now that it's only 15 lbs away, I know I'll probably keep going once I hit 150 until I get to a weight I feel good at and believe that I can maintain.
Angie congrats on the 2.6 down
Paris we all have those not wanting to anything days, it's your right. I will keep my that you kick that last 4lbs to the curb ... you can do it, we'll whoosh it away
Akelly ... these ladies will get you through any plateau, my goodness they have had my back more times than a few. If it weren't for them I would have surely given up. Keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great and this too shall pass
Well I've had a pretty interesting day, just seems like there isn't enough time in a day some times. Had to take the kids to school this morning we were so tired. Then a few errands, then had to write the Cub Scout news letter for the Pack meeting tonight (I know should have done it before today). Then more errands, had to take our oldest to work. I didn't use good time management today. Have to leave soon to pick up two other scouts, then to the pack meeting then gotta pick our oldest up from work. Can we just split me in half
I am up 1.8 from my low of 165 but that's OK. I know once I get it together maybe by Wednesday I will hopefully come back down. My eating hasn't been great today. Stomach out of order the most nutritious thing I've had today was some chicken salad. I'll try for a salad maybe, but I'm not really hungry. Water has only been 33.6ozs so far.
9.01.2010 - 168.8
9.02.2010 - 168.6
9.03.2010 - 168.0
9.04.2010 - 167.8
9.05.2010 - 167.2 I'm so sore! >.<
9.06.2010 - 166.8
9.07.2010 - 167.4 I made the mistake of missing lunch, then ate way too much at my boyfriends house for dinner...so much so that I made myself sick and ended up throwing up Now I'm paying for it with a sore tummy and two black eyes. lol...why I got black eyes from throwing up I have no idea, but I've learned my lesson.
9.08.2010 - 167.4 Ugh, still here.
9.09.2010 - 166.4 YAY!
9.10.2010 - 166.0
9.11.2010 - 166.0 Scale was jumping between 156.6-166.0 so I'm accepting the higher number. I was SUPER busy yesterday and ended up eating way too late last night too.
9.12.2010 - 166.0 Scale was still jumping between the same numbers! Hopefully today's rest day helps for tomorrow's weight in!
9.13.2010 - 166.0 ...still here. Been eating & working out on plan, just gonna stick with it. lol GAH!!!! lol
9.14.2010 - 166.0 lol I ate way more than I usually do yesterday but it seems like not even that effected the scale.
9.15.2010 - 166.6 Ate late last night and more than I probably should have again. I felt so hungry! Been on track today and hopefully tonight goes a little better.
9.16.2010 - 166.2
9.17.2010 - 166.8 Stayed on plan last night. I've been getting headaches, hunger and bloating...which can only mean one thing for me. TOM is coming. GR!
9.18.2010 - 166.4
9.19.2010 - Missed Weigh-In It was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend.
9.20.2010 - 166.0 I'm super surprised, I let myself have a cheat day yesterday! haha
9.21.2010 - 166.0 Was jumping between 165.8 & 166.0.
9.22.2010 - 165.4 WHOO! *crossing fingers this sticks*
9.23.2010 - 166.4 Seriously? TOM should have started today, I feel bloated and irritated...lol
9.24.2010 - 165.6
9.25.2010 - 165.2
9.26.2010 - 165.2 Don't usually way in THIS early in the morning, but I may be going to a fair today so I need to go go go! lol Gonna try and eat as healthy as possible while we're there.
9.27.2010 - 165.8 So we ended up going to Bullwinkles instead of the fair due to rain and I did really well with food until I got home...I ended up having french-fries and a small ice cream shake with my boyfriend. It fit into my calorie intake but it definitely wasn't the bet choice I could have made. AND TOM still hasn't started. GR!

LOL Diana my daughter got her hair cut in this really cute style. I asked her how she thought I'd look with that hair-do, LOL she said, "Not good your head is too round." What a nice way to say your head is too big Mom .
Diana -- I will try hard for both of us to be as smoking hot as possible. I think you can do yours on your own though!
LNoel -- I'm sorry to have distracted you with my Risotto talk -- whatever you do DON'T EAT IT...also, don't eat any pickles, they haven't been doing anyone any good either!
Love - Rennie (Love your name!) - You do need to be split in two! Hope your tummy feels better soon.
I was back at the trainer/gym today. She nearly killed me, BUT she got my legs so warmed up (aka jelly legs) that when I went on the treadmill I was able to go faster and at a higher incline than I ever have before. It really felt great, even though I was panting like a dog and sweating like a, well, you know...
Oy vay, what a day! Thanks everyone for the kind words and motivation.
So my girlfriend and I went out this evening. Originally the plan was to go for dinner, so I planned my eats for the day around that and then she changed it and said she just wanted to do coffee but as we were driving to coffee, she changed her mind again and said let's do dinner anyway. We ended up splitting a potato appetizer and a pizza for dinner. Turns out she's having surgery on Monday, a week from today to get a 40 cm tumour removed from her ovary. In addition to that they have to remove her right ovary and fallopian tubes. Depending on whether the tumour has spread, they may even need to take out the second ovary, but they won't know that until they get inside. And they won't know if the tumour is cancerous until they get in and can do a biopsy. What an ordeal at 26 years old. Because of all of this we decided to throw in dessert because she won't be able to come out for my birthday, which is coming up in a few weeks. It just made me realize that we don't have complete control over our health no matter how much we try. So all the more motivation to get in shape and control the things we can. That was the lesson I learned today. I hope the scale is kind to me tomorrow because I did relatively well today including my water intake which has been severely lacking lately. And if it's not, that's okay too because tomorrow is a new day. With that ladies, I bid you good night and I'm off to pack my gym bag and turn in for the night.
Thanks everyone for the great advice! This morning I was 192.0 (up another pound), but I know I worked extra hard today w/ my food and cardio, so by the time I get home on Thursday, I feel confident I will see a drop! If not..I have no idea what else to tweak!
Congrats to Diana for 100 pounds lost!! Awesome achievement
No time for extensive personals..got a few more things to do for work.
Hi ona, love2b, kukkie, angie, aimee, mamap, fitkristi, star, eclipse, coon, and anyone else I missed!!!
On the BMI thing, I'm very big boned too, wide shoes, big hats, that's me!
Size-wise, I'd be a very happy camper in a 10 and ecstatic in an 8. Congrats on hitting your 100 lb milestone!!!
