dizzysoi- Welcome! Very exciting that you're almost to a normal BMI!

caramelkitty- That's great your getting so many compliments! It definitely makes losing weight so much more worth it when you start to notice results and other people do to!

Leilajey- Thanks! Yeah I will need to work on planning meals and sticking to them. The good thing is that the cafeteria is closed at night so I won't be tempted to get a greasy midnight snack. I found out today that I will be working days for the first 8 weeks of my training (6a-6p) and that will hopefully help with my weight loss. I will be so busy and I probably wont have much time to eat lunch. How long have you lived in Ireland? Whats it like there? Hope your TOM leaves soon!

cierranevada- Welcome! We are all definitely motivated here, glad to have you here! Good luck on getting through the 150s quickly.

Well I'm super bloated, TOM is here this week, hopefully it leaves soon so I can have a good weigh-in on sunday. Everyone keep up the good work! :)

Hey Cierra!! Welcome!! :D

Let's get rid of these 150s!!! :)

cierranevada Welcome! :) You're soo close to a healthy BMI, good luck.

Samantha Daisy The cafeteria being closed will definitely help on nights anyway! Good to start with days to get into the swing of things, are you looking forward to it? Ireland, well I've always lived in Ireland. It's very beautiful and the people are very friendly but we have a lot of problems economically/politically and the weather is unpredictable. I like a lot of things about it though, especially that you can just smile at people in the street and chances are they'll smile back. I've been in other countries where people shoot you dirty looks for smiling haha - where are you from?

caramelkitty How are you feeling today? :)


The weather's finally getting good here! It's funny that it's all over the news that it's getting sunny at the end of May/June.. isn't Summer supposed to do that? haha, at least it's not raining.



anyway, gonna go cycling today. I got a really nice dress yesterday so I'll wear it for my birthday. It's a UK10 - I was really surprised I fit into it. It's a stretchy material but there's lining on the skirt part that doesn't stretch at all and it still totally fit. Woop :)

Have a great day everyone!

Wahh I ate like 2,000 calories today and feeling guilty as heck now :(

I saw 151.2 lbs this morning and got really excited! I need to hide the scale somewhere cus weighing myself constantly is such a pain! I'd go do #2 and weigh myself after and I'd be down .6 lbs, LOL! Sorry, TMI I know. I'll hide the scale now. Hopefully I'll ease into the 140's soon. Keep up the good work everyone!

haha, bloopers! I always try to weigh myself after #2 :D and after I've drank a cup of coffee and water in the morning. Otherwise I'm not ready for the numbers..

edit: 153.8 but TOM finally came, woooooooooo. I might be away for a few days, gotta get my drink on.

Stay motivated!! I always get a little discouraged when TOM comes around because of the weight fluctuations, but it eventually falls off.

On another note, my first day of using the treadmill, I was only able to pull off 1.2 miles and I was BEAT afterwards. Today I did 2 miles, didn't attempt to run at all and just sped walk and I feel SO much better! I feel like I could've done another mile if I wasn't so darn lazy, but oh well, I'll build up the endurance slowly and not push myself too hard.

Ate 1250 calories today and burned 260 calories, so it's been a good day :D

im so sorry i havent been around in a while!!!

leilajey you're kicking a$$!! hahahahaha im jealous your TOM appeared, mine's still trailing....it's actually gotten me worried. :(

Thanks for all the welcomes!
CaramelKitty I think we are at the exact same weight. I weighed in today at 156.8! Only one lb away from prebaby weight. Now for those pesky last 20 lbs. Seems a lot more manageable than the 80 I had to lose two years ago. With medifast it is flying off with no exercise. It is seriously the magic pill everyone wants. It is expensive though. I tried running and counting calories for the past two years and it got me down 35 lbs but I have lost 22 in 6 weeks. It makes me sick all the wasted time and energy when I could have just done medifast two years ago uggh. All those pictures with my son that I either hate or didn't take. Good thing I just focus on him haha. I love taking pictures with him now. At least I know what to do after our next baby (a long time from now). Gotta get this one potty trained first. 7 more lbs until a healthy weight! The 50's are flying by :) Have a great memorial day weekend everyone. Congrats on the weight losses you are all inspiring.

Hey! I'm back.. lots of drinking and lots of sunshine.. not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow, there was a pizza incident :D and some icecream.. and lots of booze. Oh well, I had fun. I also did lots of dancing. Drinking lots of water now, I'm soooo tired. Not sure how I managed the 2 hour drive home.. gonna go lie out in the sun :)

cierranevada

That's awesome!! We can cheer for each other and get it done together too!! I need more info on medifast, im gonna be googling that stuff tonight, i go google crazy when i see something works ! LOL I actually weighed in at 153.6 this morning, I'm upset that I won't be able to go bike riding today, but TOM has been treating my weight well this time around. LOL I can't wait to get to 149. I think I may cry. Yeah, I'll cry. :lol:

LeilaJey The important part is that you had fun!! No matter what went down in your diet, or lack thereof :lol: for one night is not that big a dea, I have learned to accept that those days will happen, but it's just getting back on it the next day that proves how strong we are.

Its awesome that you danced your bum off too!! hopefully the scale was nice ... enough... lol :) :hug: Keep up the great work!!

bloopers cheers :) I know I often get a bit discouraged too, this time when I ate too much I felt like I'd get away with it because I'm bloating because of TOM anyway haha..not the best attitude but I'm gonna deal with it. How's the treadmill going?

caramelkitty haha, you're right :D but it was 2 nights. :D Ahhh well. I had great fun. And yep, tomorrow I'm on plan and cycling. How's your cycling going? You look awesome with your new bike! I love cycling but the weather here is so unpredictable (you've probably heard me complaining about this before..) there's days I leave when it's sunny and then 20 minutes later there's hailstones bouncing off my sunglasses!

I just noticed that you're in Montreal.. sooo tabarnack! I've met a lot of people from Quebec over the years haha



I looked at the scale quickly and had one of those heart attack moments :D I'll record my weight tomorrow and go from there. :)

Hope you're all great!

LeilaJey LMAO!!!!!!!! TABARNACK!! hahahhahahaha i love that! you just made my day!! Yeah the weather here is unpredictable too. We had a tornado last night?! That doesn't even make sense! LOL :lol: I'm loving the bike went on for 90 minutes yesterday, the scale loved it apparently lol But today I won't be able to go because I have people over. I feel like going biking while the boys play video games lololol

I just hope I don't screw it up with the late night munchies while we watch the UFC fight, that's my weakness .. "weekends" lol but everytime I go to reach for one of those chips, I'll remind myself that I had 153.6 on the scale today. lol

Oh and for supper, I had a large salad, no dressing with a meat patty. homemade, ground beef with onions and spices. So I'm surely full enough not to want to eat again. GO US!! Let's get out of the 150s .... finally! LOL

caramelkitty hahah, I'm so glad! One time I met an elderly Quebec couple in Ireland and we were like 'ohhh you're from Quebec.. ahh tabarnack!' and they were so shocked hahah, I guess I didn't think about what I was saying. :D Woops.

Holy crap, a tornado? We have mini tornadoes here sometimes but I've never seen one.

You can resist the chips! I believe in youuuuuuu! Have fun! I'm so happy to be home now.. my friend called over with sparkling wine earlier but I only had 1 glass so not too bad.

I'm soo bloated right now it's uncomfortable.. I'm super scared about weighing myself tomorrow.

LeilaJey If you think the scale might upset you, stay away for a bit. You'll be fine. :-) i have faith in you!! Thanks for the cheer, but, Yeah ok big fail lol
For dinner i had a bunless burger with salad.. No dressing.
Then.... Stupid me came in.
I had a handful of bbq ruffles..... Ughh
But then i had a bunch of fruits and carrots..
Then i did the complete stupidity of weighing myself... I have no clue why
And my 153 from this morning turned into 156.

This had now led me to drink about 4liters of water in the last 2 hours lol

caramelkitty ahh don't be silly, you didn't do bad at all.. no harm in 1 handful! Also you'll always weigh more at night I'm usually 1-3lbs heavier at night.. sometimes more if I'm full. Hope you had fun!

I was 154.4 this morning.. I had my eyes closed and then I looked haha.. that's not too bad at all! It's my birthday tomorrow and I want to be under 154 but hey this'll do. I'm definitely on plan today. :)

I seriously drank about 5 litres of water yesterday and barely had to go to the bathroom, I must have needed it! :D

Have a great day everyone!
