Irina - you poor thing! Happy belated birthday tho!! Yay!!

Gals.. I just realised it's *snicker* HUMP DAY TODAY!!! Happy Hump Day ALL!! Even better my boy got back this morning.. he he I had a lovely lunch..

Off to pump tonight, first real exercise after 4 days off (overtrained last week and got a bit of my fatigue problems happening again grr) really looking forward to it.

Spill - I know before I put coffee and my IBS symptoms together and got four I had to have this fibre stuff to drink with water that expaned (it gave my body something other than itself to cramp on) but I remember it tasted like poos and eventually I got to the point where no matter how hard I tried I couldn't keep it down! But good luck with the fast...

Hi everybody! I've had a busy week, so I've only been able to pop in for the first time today. I'll hopefully have more time tomorrow, but I hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

-Kim :)

Half way through the week! Get excited!


Time to go out in the snow so I can go to the bookstore and spend way too much money on text books..brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

happy HUMP day! :lol: :D

hahahahahaha

i think maybe i get a little TOO amused by that.

spill have you withered away to nothing yet??

its freezing cold here and i want to go tanning to warm me up. maybe i'll go on my lunch break. i was looking at the website for one near work and it's super expensive, ick. keep in mind that i work at a tanning salon on saturdays, yet I can't tan there because I want to go in a stand-up and our stand-up isn't good at all). but then i have to WALK to my car, get in, DRIVE to the salon, WALK into the salon. That is asking a bit much in this kind of cold, wouldnt you say? :mad:

did anyone watch the biggest loser last night? i was surprised by how much some of them had decreased their body fat, and also by how little others did. I mean, drea lost like 21% body fat and lisa only lost like 8%. They don't say, though, what their body fat is or was, just how much they lost. i dont like that. i am so bad, there was a girl (lizzbeth?) who weighs 146 now i think, about the same as me, and i am yelling at my boyfriend "DO I LOOK SKINNIER THAN HER??" I have issues. That show is enough to drive someone up a wall.

HA HA HA HA Megan.. I so hear you.. last night we were walking along the beach (Bf and I) and there was this young girl 16 or so.. and BF says - look at that chick walking along in a string bikini top with her guts hanging over her shorts.. she should be wearing a tankini. she'd just look nicer"i didn't look straight away, but did say "honey that's probably what people think about me in my bikini!" but then I looked and she had like a pregnancy belly that wasn't - i mean that was the shape her stomach had, but it was fat suprisingly (there are ALOT of teenage pregnancy's in this town.. don't get me started). Anyway I did think good on you for being confident enough to wear what ever you want and not care but then I thought man she is so unhealthy... I'm turning into a gym ****! ha ha and I don't even go that much!! and of course then I had to ask "do I look like that" which got the usual pissed off reply" what do you think" boys... still it's nice to have him back. not sure where I was going with this story.. anyway catch you ladies later

Speaking of BF's, Mine got a good job & has to go to training in Tampa for a month, so I will be alone for the first time in the dead of winter, and I'm freaking out a bit. Part of me thinks it will be good bc I'll have more time for classes and be able to workout more, but I'm such a social person & I've never lived alone. I think I'm gonna drive myself crazy! I'm gonna miss him to death, and he's leaving on Feb. 8th, so he won't be here for V-Day. That's okay, me & my girls are gonna do something fun! Thanks for listening, I just needed to vent.

Kellibee - I hear your pain! i hate sleeping alone in my flat when the BF is gone. PM me if you want and I'll email you some good coping strategy's! I've had about 9 months to get used to it all! he he..

Oh yeah i think the point of my story was that the label from her shorts was sticking out and she wears the same size pant as me! grr I hate that... I mean no matter what I do I still seem to have a fat arse! he he.. and of course I see something like that and associate my size being the same with me looking the same, which I hope isn't true.. maybe this makes more sense.

hey ladies!
wow...miss a few days, miss a lot! hehe. things here have been NUTS. thank you all for the nice notes about the puppy. She is a handful to say the least! Right now I'm trying to type why she licks and bites my arm. haha. Anyways her name is Sasha, she's 8 mos old and is a beagle/terrier (jack russell?) mix. She's really really cute but really really spastic!

In other wild news...I think I met a guy, which has been interesting. And I mean "think I met" in the sense that I think I've met someone I'll start dating...NOT I met someone who I think is a guy. Heehee. So I might be adding dating into this whole crazy mix of dieting and puppies!

I'm sorry I don't reply to your posts more. I read everything! I just get tired, and busy :( I'll try harder!

Evening all!

I just did the most kickass workout - I feel great!

I have to admit I'm jealous of all the bf and boys talk. Sadly, one of the things that is spurring me to lose weight is the fact that I'm almost 26 and haven't had anyone I'd even halfway to consider to be a boyfriend since high school! I date some, but it never pans out. And I think it has a lot to do with the extra weight and the self esteem issues that come with it. But I'm really hoping to change that. Last night I got a wink on match.com from a guy I could actually consider dating! (Most of the guys I've met as a result of online dating have proven to be complete tools.) But I'm not getting too hopeful - online dating has proven to be good for nothing but a lot of good fodder for girls' night out!

Tomorrow I have to be out of the house by 630 as I'm working in our office in the suburbs! It'll be a loooooong drive - at least 45 minutes out and probably double that coming home! Wish me luck!

Chitown diva! When you reach a point that you are happy with you who are (not necess your goal weight, just where you know who you are what you are doing to be who you want to be!) You'll be suprised at how easy it will be to find someone.. he he.. don't give up! anyway being single is pretty good too - you only have one lot of baggage to deal with! he he...

Have a great day at work tomorrow.. I hope you have some kickass music to play for the drive!

well for the second day on this detox i have an amazing amount of energy. and im learning to embrace things i never did like other greens (cabbage) and hemp seed nuts (super yummy!) and brown rice. lol AND the lymph on my neckhas gotten smaller YAY!

spill are u there????? hows it going????? i get all nerdy and curious when people do detox diets.

so today at work i ripped a hole in my pants. my comfy worn in lucky jeans that i wasnt wanting to get rid of, now i guess ill just make them into a skirt. it ripped in my inner thigh. i was thinking to myself... thin girls hardly ever if at all have this problem... and i guess it propelled me even further to do a better job with the whole diet and excerise. i wanna get to where my thighs wont rub holes in my jeans. *sigh*

ok well i gotta go. thanks sisters for listening

peace irina :)

Morning.

I really need to get back to posting more. I have been spending time with the kids and doing other things to get ready for my move out of this house that I haven't spent much time on the computer. I really don't miss being on the computer, but I do miss coming to this site and seeing how everyone is doing. I completely fell off my diet :( but I'm hoping today I can get back on it and stay on it. Everything just stinks right now, so when I am in a bad mood I always turn to food... :( I hate it. I did my nice hour workout this morning and weighed in to start off the right way. I just need to get my mind focused on exercising and loosing weight again...

have to run to work now (joy)

/hugs
Stephanie

hey guys! happy friday! i'm a little tired this week, having moved by bedtime from 10pm to 11pm in order to spend more time with bf (he works in the evenings a lot) and also just to have more time in general - it seems like i was going from work, to gym, to home, eat, do dishes, make lunch for tomorrow, alittle tv, bed. ugh. i am liking this 11pm bedtime.

i am happy that i upped my calories last week and brough them back down this week, because i'm down to 142. yay! making it into the 130's will be a dream come true for me.

spill - you havent posted! what's up with the colon cleanse??

irina - hemp seed nuts?? hmmm... sounds... interesting. i've tried to jump on the brown rice bandwagon but i just dont like it. so i just skip rice altogether (for the most part). my trainer would beat me if he knew i ate rice-a-roni!! hahahaha

tiff - it is amazing how different shaped people can wear the same sizes or someone might seem bigger but wear a smaller size. some girls are built with skinny legs and can wear smaller pants. and there are little things that will make you have to wear a bigger size - like having alittle wider hips or having thighs. and then some people just squeeze themselves into clothes that are way too small. i dont know my point, but its probably that you're 100 times hotter than that girl who has the same size pants!!

chitown - i went out on a date with a guy that i met online once. i liked him, but i just wasn't attracted to him. my brother met his wife on the internet and they are both really great, attractive, normal people. my exboyfriend also has found his last two girlfriends on match.com... well the first one ended up being crazy but he likes the one he is with now!!! i think online is a good way to meet people, because where else can you? i never liked talking to guys in bars. i met my current bf totally randomly, at a work training thing. i am blah blah blah-ing, but i know what you mean about the insecurity and weight and everything. i'm still very insecure and i try not to show it but it's hard.

stephanie - keep your head up! it seems like you are going through a rough time, just try and be strong and it will get easier. you are doing a great job!

this weight loss thing is surreal to me. do you guys ever feel like that, especially someone like jenicra, who has lost over 90 pounds? it is like i can't believe that i'm not overweight anymore. being overweight (whether it was 15, 25, or 50 pounds) has always felt like a part of me. now i'm confident that i'll never be overweight again and it's a really good feeling. just wanted to say that!!

have a great weekend guys, i'll be checking in!!

Megan, I posted the same time as you! It's right above yours!
