Morning everyone! I have rarely posted in these threads, I usually just update my weight and lurk but I just have to say I'm FINALLY in the 150s. I have not seen the 150s since I was 23. Once I reach 154 it will be the lowest weight I have ever been in my adult life.
Stein- Congrats on the 9lbs! WOW
FitGirly- We're both in the 150s! Woo!
crainjo - I know how crappy taking in too much sodium can be. Especially during TOM.
Kukki- Congrats on the 190s!
Ona - I hope you find a way to relax about WI, I know how that can be. Especially when you just want to see those numbers but you'll figure it out!
Angie - I'm rooting for you to get back into the 190s!
i am happy to see that the weight is down today, however i promised hubby we could have chinese and watch the virginia tech/clemson game today... so sodium will probably bounce me back up tomorrow (we're sharing an order of gen tso's chicken... we both love it)... lots of water today, but i don't foresee me eating very much since i'm pretty sure i woke up with tonsillitis. probably shouldn't even have tonsils since i get tonsillitis once or twice every year... but i never got it as a kid. so who knows?? no fever though, so it's not bacterial meaning no antibiotics and probably not caused by the streptococcus bacteria... which is good, but that probably means it's contagious and my husband has crohn's and thus a compromised immune system. i hope he doesn't get it!
hope you all have a better day than i'm havin so far :P
Down 0.6 (from 211.6 to 211.0) -- successful breakfast and a successful Cheescake Factory lunch from the skinnylicious menu -- grilled chicken, substituted brocolli for the rice ok...ok...2 bites of that wheat bread and then tossed it!
oneLess: welcome! It's totally up to you, the only problem is that in the beginning if you copy and paste - you end up with tons of wasted space on the post with blank numbers. So what most of us do is update our original post by clicking the "edit" button in the post. This allows us to keep track of our month and on a daily basis we post or day-to-day losses and comments. So if you go back to the first few pages, you will see where others have updated their original post! Hope this helps and again WELCOME!

oneLess (BB?) you can edit your original post each day and post your weight in on a new post with your loss or gain as you comment. It's up to you.

MadameZ congrats on being in the 150 pssss .... crainjo is a guy
Hi Lauree
Mandy good job on the .5 down and sorry your throat is bothering you and hope hubby doesn't get sick Enjoy your dinner and the game
well I hope everyone that hasn't checked in is having a great Saturday. I started my day at 5am setting up for a yard sale. We finished up at 3pm. My neighbors put out the ad and allowed the rest of us to piggy back off them and set up also. Lots of work and I was so exhausted at the end. I counted it up exercise wise as 2 hours cleaning on MFP since the site gives you a crazy burn for cleaning. My burn is 396 and my numbers for today are:
calories 853, carbs 112, protein 42, sodium 1345 ...TOM is still lingering, I hope this is the last day I am down 1.4lbs to 174.4
Diana -- Thanks, finally I think things are calm, just in time for Sunday! I do have some cleaning to do tomorrow, but I think it will still be a welcome return to normality after a hectic week.
Ona -- Thank you Wow, you are at 171!? Good job on that! I think it's great to give yourself a break from the hectic schedule, I'm sure your body will be glad of it too.
Kukkie -- Awesome weigh in! Congratulations! Cameron and I get pretty excited for Diwali -- last year we drove and parked near a place where they were having fireworks. This year I think I've whined and complained my way into an invitation to a friend's place where they will be having a real celebration
Crainjo -- I love subway -- it's my 'go to' fast food joint when I don't have time to prepare food.
Roxy -- Congratulations on your weigh in! Any news on the adoption front?
MadameZ -- Congratulations on getting to the 150's!!! Thanks for rooting for me, I hope to be back there in a few days
Mandy -- I hope your throat clears up. I had my tonsils out at 27 and it was worse than childbirth (bearing in mind I had an epidural and a c-section ) but at least I don't get throat infections anymore
LGW -- Great job on your choices at the Cheesecake Factory!
Rennie -- Okay, I love having you for a partner, let's go for the 6lbs together! My birthday is next Saturday, the 8th of October Just trying to decide what I want to do that day. How did your garage sale go? Good job on your weigh in today!
AKA -- Feel better soon, hope the meds start to improve things!
Hey ladies, having a rough day today. I ran this morning, but I was really sore afterwards, I had to take a muscle relaxer before I headed to work. Anyways, make a realization at work, I'm going in on Monday to quit. I love my job, but cannot handle my boss. I'll give them until October 21st, and then I'm off to San Francisco for a week, I might stay in SF for a couple more days and then head to New York with my brother for a week. We'll see. I honestly don't see a solution to my boss problems, and I hate to leave a job AND a company I love.. but I really don't have a choice anymore. So that's my story of today. I'm taking tomorrow to process the situation, and possibly write my resignation letter.
I'm also ending my month at 259.3, so I am down 6 pounds this month. Aiming for 7 pounds in October!
Sorry for the lack of personals, I'm barely holding myself together right now.
Thanks aka, Sorry you are feeling worse, hoping you get better soon I have something, it's not as bad as it was during the week. I'm still a little congested though, but also still taking Theraflu twice a day. Hope we are both 100% soon
Thanks Angie I'm excited about our Six Pound Challenge. I hope at the end of this month or even before we can have a whoosh or two and celebrate early and keep it off. The sale went better than we thought. The first one we had sucked and we didn't do another afterwards, but this one was pretty good. Just slow going. Someone keep taking my neighbors signage down so she and ended up going up to the road and holding up signs while her husband stayed at the house. I also racked up on some really nice tops and a coat for my little lady. My neighbors have some really cute clothes for their girls. All looks new and all designer
Aimee, I'm sorry about the issues with your boss. I hope that you don't have to quit and something can be done to rectify the situation Good job on the 6lbs Gone for September Maybe journal your feelings right now, I'm sorry you are going through this again with her Aimee sorry about the sore muscles also get some rest and feel better
Hello, everyone! I've been totally AWOL for a few months now...and I've gained a ton of weight in the process. I'm sick of hiding the scale and then pulling it out a few weeks later to see I gained yet another few pounds, SO I'm trying to get back on track, and this thread was always a big help before.
Congrats to all of you who have kept working (Diana, WOW!!!! I can't believe how tiny you are! Congrats on staying so healthy!! ) and to those who are trying!

Stein - Congrats on September's loss. I'm sure you can be down another 13 by T-day.
MadameZombie - Why yes, yes we are! Until recently I had never seen the 150s as an adult, they sure do look good on us, yeah? I bet the 140s are gonna look even better though, let's go!
Mandy - that your DH doesn't get sick and that you are better very quickly.
Rennie - I always love my zumbathons, especially when they are for a good cause (this one was a Susan G. Komen fund raiser). For us to officially match to the kids DHS has to say it's ok, we have to review more info about them in their case file and say if we still want them afterward, then the kids get info about us and get to see the photo album we've been working on and the ones that are old enough (so at least the 7 and 9 year olds and maybe a little input from the 4 year old) get to say if they want to be matched with us, after everyone agrees on it then the visits start. I love/hate having yardsales. I am thinking of starting to do what some of my friends here do and put an album of things for sale on my facebook that way I can clear some stuff out and not have to go through all that.
aka - I hope you feel better soon
Angie - Not much news yet other than when I talked to our caseworker she sounded positive about it and promised to get our paperwork through as fast as she could.
Aimee - I know it is a tough decision and one you aren't making lightly. I hope that it brings you some peace.
ok...ok...2 bites of that wheat bread and then tossed it!
your 
are coming for sure 
I am down 1.4lbs to 174.4
