So excited. I weighed myself after exercising today and saw 211 lbs on the scale. That would make 9 lbs lost in this month alone. I know it'll go up to around 212 or 213 as soon as I have dinner (evening time is when I generally weigh the lowest in the day) but seeing myself so close to 10 lbs lost is getting me excited. I think I'll do backflips when I get that (not literal backflips). I've never made a concentrated effort and lost that before
Well I'm all caught up and hopefully I can get on here like I need to. I am up about 3lbs from the beginning of the month. I haven't been eating OP until this week. Everytime I say I'm going to do it I don't and temptation just takes it's toll on me. My body is obviously going through it's changes right now and I am not handling it well. TOM has been interesting the last 3 months, I'm having hot flashes and I have had a few night sweats though not as bad as in the past. My hope is that TOM is about to say farewell to me forever I was told by a co-worker that I look like I am losing weight. I said nope I've gained a few pounds but like I said to Sam ... I know that I too need to do some measuring. I know my bras aren't fitting properly I need to either get new ones or do some sewing (they're too loose). However my belly is a big as ever (nothing has changed there). I haven't been sleeping well. Each day I wake up as if I haven't slept at all. I told my husband I think it's the mattress. We really need to treat ourselves to a new bed, it's old. My fasting blood sugars are still really high. I need to make an appointment to have myself re-assessed but I first need to eat properly for about two weeks to see if I can get them down on my own.
I need to send Ona and Joy a PM to check on them. It's mid month almost and it's not like them to not check in at all. Kukkie looking for you also
Well I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend
Rennie, great to see you! I have been wondering about you. I hope you are able to say goodbye to TOM and get some relief soon. I look forward to that day myself! I was probably drink 18-20 ounces of coffee a day minimum. I ran out of Stevia last week and had lots of left over Splenda so I decided it was dumb to keep buying the Stevia. I have to admit that I like Stevia much better and am not enjoying my coffee as much so I'm thinking about quitting completely when my half and half runs out...my coffee is pretty expensive so it would be nice to save that expense, too.
Everyone is really motivated or doing well!
I'm in the weird stage where I am sick of eating the same thing.
WE CAN do this!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

Searching, I've been reading on my phone but it takes so long to reply that way, at least to me it does and by the time I get home I am pooped. I've been getting off a half hour later and it really does make a difference in the time I get home. I only have about 2.5 hours before it's time to go to bed .
I tried Stevia I didn't like it. It had an after taste that I just couldn't get use to and I didn't know anyone to give it to so I threw a 100 pack box minus about 5 in the garbage.
I know what you mean on eating the same thing that's how I feel and often fall off the wagon because of it. But we'll get this weight off
I had a good weigh in this morning 188.8 and fbs was 205 not great but lower than it's been. I am drinking tea this morning because my husband I plan to have our first just us day in a very long time. We have a gift card for Olive Garden so we are hoping to use that and trust me I don't plan to over do it because I know that too much pasta will make me feel miserable. There's also a $1.50 movie here and since we haven't seen a movie together (in a theater) in about three years we're gonna do that. (on a budget here, can you tell? ) I'd like to take a nice walk after the Olive Garden not sure where to do it. I'll have to google some places before my hubby gets home from work. Well off I go ...
Well we had a nice date day together and my weight stayed the same this morning. My fbs was higher, it was actually the same as it was at 11pm last night. Today has been pretty good day no complaints. We're having homemade peppered steak for dinner. The family's eating white rice and I'm having brown rice. I need to write my meals down for the week as I'm thinking this is the best way for me to stay on point. It's been awhile since I have actually planned eventough I know it works I still don't do it. Just like the children
Well I hope you all have had a great weekend. Have a good evening
Yay, happy for you that you had a nice date day together with your husband, Rennie! And Ophelia, if you see this, how did those cupcakes turn out? :3
02 ~ 237
09 ~ 231.8
16 ~ 227.8
23 ~
30 ~
4 more lbs (a lot of fluctuating throughout the week though so am surprised but pleased, I am doing this so well!), and on another thread I realized my digital scale must not do odd decimal points, it's always .2 or .8 or something like that. Progress, woo!
Still not resting well and it's making me so bleggggh. Trying to figure something out, to help me sleep at night, without turning to meds (I am on more than just a budget so it's out of the question for me). I'll keep on trying things out. :3
hey everyone! So I have a big meeting with my boss tomorrow. I work part time at the med center here in houston, and I want to sell myself to her and tell her why I'd be a great fit for full-time employment. I am NERVOUS. I'd like to be considered so I'm going to tell her exactly why she should hire me. this is a big deal for me because I'm very uncomfortable in formal situations such as these.
197.8 today, bounciing around the upper 190's. frustrated...busy. Can I get some peace???
Hey guys, it's been a really busy week, so I haven't really been posting for the past 4-5 days...but, I've still been keeping track! Weigh-in this morning was 237.6. Had a little bloat after going out to eat on Monday, which slowed me down a little, but still keeping a downward trend overall.
Rennie: Thanks for the birthday wishes! It was a good day, just full of waaay too much delicious food, lol. Also, glad you had a nice date day! The movies are insanely expensive here, so we don't go as much as we'd like. We had a dollar theater back when we lived in CO, and it was so nice to have a cheaper option to see movies we may have missed. Lots of fun.
ILoveVegetables: You're doing great this month!
fairandfree: The cupcakes were so, so yummy! The cupcake itself was so delish and moist that it didn't even need the icing, but where is the fun in that!? They looked great, too...he even put little edible pearls on top. I'm proud of him, haha.
aka8941: I hope your meeting went well! Keeping my fingers crossed that she has a place for you in full-time. It takes a lot of confidence to go for what you want professionally, so you're awesome in my book!
ugh the upswing. I was HUNGRY last night so I ate two Kashi oatmeal cookies, a peach, a yogurt AND morningstar mini corndogs...all before bed. I guess you'd say I lost control a little bit.
for you on getting back on track 
I was told by a co-worker that I look like I am losing weight. I said nope I've gained a few pounds but like I said to Sam ... I know that I too need to do some measuring.
